"Village chief, why are you still arguing with them? Just kick them out of the village."
"That's right. We'd rather let our house grow bugs than rent it to them. Lin Dongming, you and your family move out now!"
The owner of the house suddenly jumped out. When Lin Dongming and his family heard this, they panicked instantly.
Although this house is dilapidated, it was rented with great difficulty. If we are kicked out, where will our family live?
Lin Jiuyue sat aside, took out a handful of sunflower seeds she had bought on the street, and ate them bit by bit. She looked so comfortable.
My own affairs are no longer important now. The Lin family has no intention of making trouble with me at the moment. The current situation is enough to give them a headache.
"Oh, Auntie, we agreed to rent your house to us. We've only been here for a few days, and you're already regretting it? That's unacceptable."
"You said you were renting it to me. Now that I don't want to rent it anymore, you have to move out! If I hadn't seen you as refugees and pitiful without a place to live, I wouldn't have rented it to you."
"Besides, you've been living in my house for so long, and you haven't paid me a penny in rent. I'm not going to ask you for any more. Move out now and stop dirtying my house!"
The villagers who rented houses to the Lin family were already unhappy because the Lin family had been delaying the rent payments again and again. Now that something like this had happened, they simply asked Lin Dongming and his family to move out.
When Liu Xiaohua heard this, she slapped her thigh and sat down on the ground.
"Oh my! This is terrible! The people in Liujiaao Village are trying to kill our whole family! We fled all the way here, thinking we could finally live a peaceful life, but we didn't expect that we would end up being killed by them."
Liu Xiaohua's voice was long and loud, and the villagers who were watching the fun pointed at her, but Liu Xiaohua didn't care.
As long as I can stay here smoothly, I'll accept some advice. It won't hurt to give advice anyway.
The Lin family seemed to be used to it and didn't feel awkward at all. Only Lin Jinlian stepped back awkwardly.
The village chief stood in the middle of the crowd, his ears ringing with Lin Jinlian's cries and the villagers' calls to drive away the Lin family. He rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Don't argue, what are you arguing about? If you have something to say, just talk it over. Why are you crying?"
Liu Xiaohua fell silent instantly after being yelled at by the village chief.
Whether his family could stay in the village depended on the village chief. Once the village chief spoke, if he continued to cry, he might really be driven out of the village.
If we were driven away, we would have nowhere to stay.
"Village Chief, what do you think we should do now? We all agree to drive the Lin family away."
"right!"
The village chief lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.
"The Lin family's situation is special. If I want them to leave our village, I have to apply to the higher-ups. I'll make a decision on this matter after I ask."
After hearing this, the villagers felt a little unhappy, but they did not make things difficult for the village chief, and the village chief immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, alright, everyone, please go away. I'll give you a reply after I've asked."
Lin Jiuyue, who was standing behind the crowd, saw that the matter was over, put away the half-eaten melon seeds, and left without interest.
The Lin family was still preoccupied with the question of whether they would be driven out of the village, and no one cared whether Lin Jiuyue had left. By the time they realized what was happening, Lin Jiuyue had already disappeared.
The villagers gradually dispersed, leaving only the owner of the house and the village chief.
"Lin Dongming, I'll give you one more day to pack up your things and move out quickly. Don't say I didn't give you time to move."
Lin Dongming winked at Liu Xiaohua, who stepped forward immediately.
"Aunt, you know we're a family that's fleeing famine. We really don't have any money. Where would you like us to move to? Just let us stay for a few more days until we find a place to live, okay? Just consider it a good deed."
The woman waved her hands irritably.
"That won't work. Your family has such a bad reputation. Living in my house will affect my family's fortune."
Liu Xiaohua: ...
This damn old woman, what's all this talk about luck? Isn't it just because she feels that her family didn't give her money? If she really had money, she wouldn't even look down on their house.
"Haha, Auntie, please help me and have mercy on our family. Let us stay for a few more days."
The village chief frowned when he saw how pitiful Liu Xiaohua sounded.
"Let's wait a little longer. They're a really pitiful family. Let them move out after they find a house. It won't cost them a couple of days anyway."
Seeing that the village chief had spoken, the woman hesitated.
"Since the village chief has said so, I will give you five more days. Just five days, no more. If you don't move out after five days, I will throw your things out. Don't blame me for being cruel then."
After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Dongming's family with disdain, then walked away.
After the woman left, Lin Dongming spoke to the village chief again, saying he hadn't given in yet. He simply said that whether his family could stay in the village depended on the approval of higher authorities.
After the village chief left, Lin Dongming seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the stool.
"It's over, it's over! Our family is going to be homeless again."
After saying this, Lin Dongming glared at Lin Jinlian with resentment.
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for your stupid idea, our family wouldn't be in this state now. We don't even have a place to stay!"
Lin Jinlian was unhappy when she heard this.
"Dad, how can you blame me for this? When I first proposed this, no one in the family objected. Now that things have gone wrong, you're blaming me? If this had worked, wouldn't it have been all my credit?"
Seeing that Lin Jinlian still dared to refute him at this moment, Lin Dongming was furious.
"I told you at the beginning that I should just ask Lin Jiuyue for the money directly. Did you insist on saying that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry?"
"Then he came up with this awful idea and brought Lin Jiuyue to the village, hoping to get more benefits. He didn't get any benefits, and he almost lost his place to stay!"
Lin Jinlian frowned.
"It was my idea, but none of you objected, right? As for responsibility, our whole family is responsible. You're putting the blame on me, and I won't take it!"
