Gu Chengyan was afraid that Lin Jiuyue would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Lin Qiye also went to greet them. The village chief also wanted to help, but when he thought of the many villagers who were eating in the Lin family yard, he held back.
"Jiuyue, oh, uncle finally found you. Why didn't you inform me about your buffet today? If you had informed me, I could have come to help you.
No matter how good this outsider is, how can he be as reliable as our own family members? "
Lin Dongming said he came to help, but his eyes were always looking at the table inside.
A sneer appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.
"There are only my brother and I in my family. Where did this uncle come from? You can't just randomly make relatives."
Lin Dongming didn't expect Lin Jiuyue to say such words in public. He was stunned for a moment and continued speaking.
"Haha, niece Jiuyue, are you kidding? Uncle and your father are brothers from the same parents. How can they not be relatives?"
Lin Jiuyue crossed her arms.
"If I say no, then it's no. Go back to where you came from. Today is a good day for my family to move to a new house. Don't force me to do anything."
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue's tone of voice had changed, Lin Jinlian took two steps forward and stood in front of Lin Dongming.
"Sister Jiuyue, I know you still hold a grudge against us because of what happened when we fled the famine, but we also had our own difficulties back then."
"Now that we've all arrived safely at the resettlement site, can't you be more generous and let go of the past? After all, we don't have many relatives in this world..."
Lin Jiuyue sneered.
"You mean, if someone stabbed you in the left leg, you'd have to stretch out your right leg and let them stab you again? If that's the case, then you're really generous."
"Just because you're generous doesn't mean I, Lin Jiuyue, am that generous. I, Lin Jiuyue, always hold grudges. Whoever makes life difficult for me, I will make it difficult for them!"
"You should be thankful that I didn't cause you any trouble. How dare you come to me?"
After hearing this, Lin Jinlian's face instantly turned ugly.
"Sister Jiuyue, no matter what my father says, he is still your elder. How can you treat your elders like this?"
The villagers watching around heard Lin Jinlian's words and nodded in agreement.
"Miss Lin seems like such a good person, but I didn't expect that she would be disrespectful to her elders."
The villagers had seen Lin Jiuyue's abilities before, and today they had just had a banquet at Lin Jiuyue's house. Only a few people discussed it privately, and their voices were very low, as if they were afraid that Lin Jiuyue would hear them.
Lin Jiuyue's hearing was naturally more sensitive than that of an average person. She looked in the direction of the person who was talking about her.
The villager who was speaking noticed Lin Jiuyue's gaze and immediately lowered his head in guilt. He didn't dare to speak anymore.
Without the sound of villagers' discussions, Lin Jiuyue felt a lot quieter.
Lin Jinlian was angry and anxious when she saw that after she had been talking for a long time, no one from Shangbei Village came out to blame Lin Jiuyue.
"Elders? What elders? After his brother passed away, he seized his brother's property under the pretext of taking care of his nephews and nieces?"
"When the famine hit, you gave your nephews and nieces two kilograms of food and left them to fend for themselves? Would you want such an elder to give you?"
Lin Jiuyue said this without naming anyone, but everyone present was no fool, so they naturally knew who Lin Jiuyue was talking about.
"What? There are such shameless people in this world? If it were me, I would be embarrassed to appear in front of him!"
"Exactly. How can such a person have the nerve to call himself an elder? How can one be an elder like this?"
"Just now I was thinking that Miss Lin didn't look like that kind of person. I didn't expect it to be true. I almost got fooled by this girl."
The voices of the villagers' discussions reached Lin Jinlian's ears, and her face turned red instantly.
I don’t know what kind of magic Lin Jiuyue has that can make these villagers side with her in such a short time.
My family also fled from famine, but the villagers in this village are different from those in Shangbei Village. No family is on my side!
"Sister Jiuyue, it was my father who was confused before. My mother has already told him about it, and he has realized his mistake. I came here today because I heard that your family was holding a housewarming party today, so I came to congratulate you. I also came to apologize to you."
After Lin Jinlian finished speaking, she nudged Lin Dongming with her elbow. Lin Dongming reacted instantly.
"Yes, September girl, uncle came here today mainly to apologize."
Lin Jiuyue sneered and looked at Lin Dongming's family.
"Oh? Since you're here to congratulate and apologize, where's the gift? Shouldn't you bring a gift to apologize as well?"
Lin Jinlian: ...
I came here just to have a delicious meal and get some benefits from Lin Jiuyue. Why would I think of bringing gifts?
"Um, Jiuyue, I came here in a hurry today and didn't have time to buy a gift..."
Lin Dongming felt that the eyes of the people around him were becoming unfriendly, so he said something casually.
Lin Jiuyue said calmly.
"Didn't have time to buy a gift? That's normal..."
Lin Dongming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that Lin Jiuyue had been fooled by him, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
But before Lin Dongming could be happy for two seconds, Lin Jiuyue spoke again.
"It's okay if you didn't have time to buy a gift. Everyone's in a hurry sometimes. It's normal. Money is fine too. You didn't even bring any money, did you?"
Lin Dongming: ...
Lin Jinlian: ...
"Oh, you really didn't bring any gift money? Did you rush out and forget it?"
Lin Dongming had just said the reason that Lin Jiuyue gave. If he said it again, he would be treating everyone present as fools.
"Your whole family can't remember a single thing. What a terrible memory! Oh, no, back when you were all trying to get our inheritance, your memories were much better."
Lin Jinlian blushed after hearing this.
I originally thought that I would take advantage of the fact that Lin Jiuyue was holding a housewarming party today to come to the Lin family. There are many people in the village, and I could use public opinion to make Lin Jiuyue bleed a little.
Even if Lin Jiuyue didn't give any benefits, his family could still have a good meal. At least they could fill their stomachs with meat. He didn't expect Lin Jiuyue to be so fearless that he even brought up the past.
"Haha, September, uncle..."
Before Lin Dongming could finish his words, Lin Jiuyue reached out and interrupted him.
"Stop, whose uncle are you saying you are? Didn't you hear what I just said? We don't have that kind of relative! If you want to make some connections, go somewhere else. If you keep talking nonsense here, I'll be rude to you."
