"Haha, we didn't talk about anything, just some trivial family matters."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
I clearly heard these people talking about my own affairs just now, but when I walked over, they stopped talking.
Alas, it’s not easy to hear gossip these days, especially gossip about yourself.
"Really? I'm just interested in these family gossips. Aunt, please continue and let me listen too."
"this……"
The person who answered the phone was so embarrassed that he almost dug out a picture of the three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
Gossiping about someone, and being caught by the person who actually did it, and the person actually asked her to tell them about it! What could be more embarrassing than this?
"Haha, Miss Lin, we were actually just talking about you."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the person who spoke in surprise.
"Ah? Me? Aunt, what are you talking about me doing?"
"They said you bought twenty acres of land this year and planted all of it with rapeseed. Miss Lin, is the rapeseed you planted reliable? Why did you plant so much at once?"
Once someone spoke up, the rest of the people were no longer so nervous.
"Yes, Miss Lin, what exactly is your rapeseed used for? How come we haven't heard of it before? Can it really make money?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
These people were gossiping about me behind my back when I was not here, but after I came, they actually started talking about it in front of me.
However, I would rather people say it to my face than behind my back. Who knows what they say behind my back?
"That's right, Auntie. If you want to gossip about me in the future, just say it to my face. I, Lin Jiuyue, don't have anything shameful to say."
"Besides, is it worth it for all of you to come here and talk about such a small matter as rapeseed?"
As soon as Lin Jiuyue said this, the people who spoke lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Haha, Miss Lin, we don't have any bad intentions. We're just interested in the rapeseed you planted. If you mind, we won't say it again in the future."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
If I really cared that much, I wouldn't be here talking to them with a smile.
"Uncle, there's actually nothing to be curious about. You've seen the rapeseed I planted. Twenty acres of land are all planted with rapeseed."
"As for what you're talking about rapeseed, we harvest its seeds and then use them to extract oil. You all know how to extract oil, right?"
The villagers nodded.
"I know about oil extraction, but I didn't know rapeseed could actually be used to extract oil. By the way, Miss Lin, is the oil extracted from rapeseed delicious? How much oil can be extracted from one pound of rapeseed?"
Lin Jiuyue stretched out three fingers and compared.
"Three ounces of oil? That's a lot."
If the rapeseed is good, it can produce about 400 grams of oil, but the tools used to press oil in this era are not very good, so it is definitely not possible to produce that much oil. Therefore, Lin Jiuyue only gave a conservative number.
"Yes, one jin can produce three liang of oil. These twenty mu of land are planted with rapeseed. You will harvest a lot of oil in the future. Miss Lin, if your rapeseed has a good harvest, you can wait to count the money next year."
Someone in the crowd said enviously.
"Haha, uncle, this is my first time growing rapeseed this year. I don't know if I can squeeze out that much oil or if the yield is high. I'm just making an estimate."
When those envious people heard Lin Jiuyue say that this was her first time planting, they seemed to feel a little more balanced.
Whether the rapeseed harvest can be good or not is still a question, but we are all envious here. What if the Lin family's rapeseed harvest is not good? Then she will cry.
"Miss Lin, you are a capable person and you can definitely grow it well. This year you planted rapeseed without informing us villagers. Next year, if you plant rapeseed again, you must take us villagers with you."
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
The rapeseed has just been planted, and I don’t even know what the harvest will be like, but these people are already thinking about asking me to help them get rich.
Aren't they really afraid that they will lead them into trouble?
"Auntie, let's talk about it later. This is my first time growing rapeseed."
It’s not that Lin Jiuyue doesn’t want to lead the villagers of Shangbei Village to grow rapeseed together, but because the rapeseed seeds of their own family have been soaked in spiritual spring water, the yield is definitely not low.
If these people want to grow rapeseed, where can I get so much spiritual spring water to soak their seeds?
If the harvest from my crops is good but the harvest from theirs is poor, then I will be in real trouble.
"Miss Lin, we are all from the same village, so it's only natural that we should help each other. Don't be so stingy and hide the fact that you made money and secretly make a fortune by yourself."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she rolled her eyes.
"Auntie, look at what you're saying. Are you willing to share your family's money-making resources so that everyone can make money together? Then I really admire you."
Something only makes money when it is in small quantities. If it is in large quantities, it will not make much money.
"Besides, if I'm not mistaken, you guys must have been gossiping about me behind my back a lot, right?"
What Lin Jiuyue meant was, you all gossip about me behind my back, but I still want to teach you how to plant, isn’t that stupid?
"Oh, Miss Lin, this is how it is in our countryside. When we have free time, we all get together and discuss village affairs. Please be magnanimous and don't make a fuss about it."
Lin Jiuyue was almost laughing because of these words.
Even though people are gossiping about me, I am not allowed to say anything. What kind of logic is this?
However, these people did not say anything bad to destroy their reputation, and they did not want to go too far.
"If I really want to pick a fight with you, do you think you can still stand here safely?"
As soon as Lin Jiuyue said this, the villagers immediately thought of Lin Jiuyue chopping wood on the hill. No one present could match his strength.
"Haha, we all know what Miss Lin said. However, we didn't say anything unpleasant. We just discussed the rapeseed you grow."
Lin Jiuyue knew exactly what the villagers said.
"Aunt, next time, if you have any questions, you can come to my house to find me. You've been talking here for a long time, and I guess you haven't come to any conclusion. It's better to come to my house directly and ask me directly if you have any questions."
The person who spoke smiled awkwardly.
Who would go to someone's house to ask about someone else's gossip? It's not like I'm crazy!
