Lin Jiuyue frowned as she listened to the discussions of the villagers around her.
I wouldn't care if these people talked about the Lin family, but when they talked about me, I couldn't just sit back and watch. Otherwise, others would think I was easy to bully.
"Are you talking about me?"
Lin Jiuyue swept the crowd with cold eyes, and the surrounding villagers fell silent instantly.
This little girl looks so weak, but unexpectedly her eyes are quite scary.
"No, I didn't talk about you."
"Oh? Then why did I hear someone say that I don't have enough money to buy a carriage? I don't even know where this carriage came from?"
As soon as Lin Jiuyue said this, the people around her were stunned.
Normally, when we talk about others, we always talk in low voices. How did this girl, so far away from us, hear what we said? Could it be that she has super hearing?
"What? You dare to say it but not admit it? Are you all such cowards? With this little guts, you dare to talk about others behind their backs?"
"So what if we said it? Were we wrong? We heard that you are the Lin family's niece. The Lin family is so poor, how rich can his niece be?"
"That's right. He's not a rich man, but he was able to buy a carriage. Who knows where he got it from?"
Lin Jiuyue looked at the two people who were talking.
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.’”
"This is our Liujiaao. What can you do to us even if we tell you? Do you dare to cause trouble here?"
A sneer appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.
Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people! This saying is really true.
I thought that since this place is so close to the capital, the people here should be more reasonable. I didn't expect that I still underestimated these rural villagers in remote areas.
Sure enough, reading more is beneficial. At least you won’t be as unreasonable as these people.
"You see I'm a woman, and you're sure I wouldn't dare do anything to you, so you dare to talk about me like this?"
Naturally, the villagers would not admit that they were bullies.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Since you are so rich, why don't you help your uncle and his family pay the rent? You are not a good person at first glance."
Lin Jiuyue was speechless.
If I don't help the Lin family pay their rent, I'm not a good person. What's the logic behind this?
The Lin family had been offended by Lin Jiuyue, and now when they saw Lin Jiuyue confronting the villagers, they acted aggrieved and stood aside to watch the show.
"You're a good person. After your family's crops were harvested, why didn't you use them to help the disaster victims?"
"The Lin family fled here due to famine, so they are considered disaster victims. There are so many families in Liujiaao. If you give each of them a few pounds of food, it will be enough for the Lin family to eat for a long time, right?"
"Why don't you bring out some food? What's the matter? Are you reluctant to give it away? Oh, I was saying it, how could the Lin family not even be able to pay the rent? It turns out that the neighbors around them are not good people."
When the gossipy villagers heard what Lin Jiuyue said, their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
Finally, the two people who had spoken before spoke.
"How can they be the same? You are related to the Lin family, but we have nothing to do with them."
"Yes, the Lin family just came to our village. We are not even fellow villagers with them now. We can only be considered as acquaintances."
Lin Jiuyue grinned when she heard this.
It seems that Lin Dongming's family is not very popular in Liujiaao.
"Just because you're not even fellow villagers now doesn't mean you won't be in the future. You're nothing like me."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she sighed in a sad manner.
"Before we fled, the Lin family thought my sister and I were a burden and insisted on severing ties with me. Our relationship now is even worse than yours."
After hearing this, the villagers of Liujiaao looked at the Lin family with strange eyes.
"What? Are these Lin family members fools? They have a rich relative, but they actually want to cut off ties with him? Are they full of tofu dregs?"
"That's right. If it were a normal person, they would have been clinging to him. The Lin family is too stupid."
"Didn't you just hear what people said? The Lin family despised her as a burden. What does this mean? It means that before fleeing the famine, the girl had no money."
Lin Jiuyue heard the villagers' discussions and finally heard the answer she wanted to hear.
"This uncle is right. Before we fled the famine, my sister and I really had nothing. It's normal for them to look down on us."
"You know the saying, 'One word is worth a thousand words.' Once something is said, can it be changed just by saying it? How can you just dump someone when they're poor and then curry favor with them again when they're rich?"
When the villagers heard this, they all nodded.
"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't have the nerve to approach him and ask for favors."
Lin Dongming and his family were originally just watching the fun, but now that the topic came up with themselves, they instantly lost their composure.
"Jiuyue girl, you know, uncle had no choice at the beginning. With so many people in the family, they have to eat and drink, right?"
"Look, if it weren't for your uncle insisting on separating from you, you wouldn't have become successful, right?"
Lin Jiuyue rolled her eyes secretly.
Just because I became rich through my own efforts, I have to thank them?
"I earned my money. When did it become yours? Don't you feel embarrassed when you say that?"
The villagers also looked at Lin Dongming with contempt.
"How shameless must one be to say such a thing? Now I finally understand why this girl doesn't care about them. If it were me, I wouldn't care either!"
"Not only do I not care, I even have to come over and show off from time to time!"
When Lin Jiuyue heard that the villagers were now on her side, she was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth.
The Lin family wanted to use public opinion to oppress me, but they didn't expect that they would end up getting themselves into trouble. They deserved it!
Since they like public opinion so much, let’s add fuel to the fire!
"You mean, I should thank you for abandoning us siblings?"
No matter how thick-skinned Lin Dongming was, he couldn't say anything to refute it at this moment.
Liu Xiaohua, on the other hand, felt that she was a lady and didn't need to be so particular.
"Lin Jiuyue, your father and your uncle are brothers. Even if you don't want to acknowledge us as your relatives, this blood relationship cannot be severed."
Lin Jinlian, who was standing aside, didn't expect Liu Xiaohua to dare to speak at this time, and she didn't even have time to speak.
Lin Jiuyue blinked.
"And then what? Do I have to help you? And then let you take all the hard-earned wealth like you did to my parents before?"
When Lin Jiuyue said this, the onlookers were stunned.
