"Haha, I will definitely go, I will definitely go."
The discussion was originally in full swing, but after Lin Jiuyue arrived, the villagers became a little restless.
But these thoughts were dispelled by the rapeseed grown by Lin Jiuyue's family. However, they were too embarrassed to ask further. They all found excuses and went home.
Lin Jiuyue looked at the villagers who were finding excuses to go home, smiled and shook her head.
It’s true, although the countryside may not be as prosperous as the city, there is still a lot of gossip.
If these people were not discussing gossip about herself, Lin Jiuyue would really like to buy some melon seeds and listen to the gossip while eating them.
"Miss, Miss!"
Xiyue's shout was heard from not far away. Lin Jiuyue turned his head to look at Xiyue.
Those villagers who had made excuses to go home but had not yet gone far stopped like flies smelling rotten eggs, waiting to see what Xiyue wanted to do with Lin Jiuyue.
"What's going on? You look so flustered."
Xiyue smiled embarrassedly, and after calming down, she spoke.
"Miss, there is a letter for you."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Who sent it? Where did it come from?"
As she spoke, Xiyue had already handed the letter to Lin Jiuyue.
"I don't know who sent it, but I heard it was sent from the border."
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue quickly opened the letter in her hand.
Border? Of the people he knew at the border, the only ones besides Qiye were Gu Chengyan. While Gu Chengyan could have sent him a letter, the most likely person was Qiye.
The villagers who had not walked far were all listening to the conversation between Lin Jiuyue and Xiyue with their ears tilted.
However, due to what happened before, no one dared to say anything.
He opened the letter and quickly glanced at the contents. It was indeed from Qiye.
"Xiyue, go call the village chief home. Tell him I have something to discuss with him."
Xiyue was curious.
Why did my daughter go to the village chief after reading the letter? Could it be that the letter mentioned something important?
"Yes, Miss, I will go right away."
Holding the letter in his hand, Lin Jiuyue walked quickly towards home.
The villagers watching looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Oh, what big thing happened in the Lin family? Why did Lin Jiuyue rush back after reading the letter?"
"Who knows? That's someone else's business. Let's not ask too much. Lin Jiuyue is so powerful. If she knew we were talking about her family's affairs behind her back, it would be bad if she came to her door."
Lin Jiuyue is famous in the village for his great strength. In addition, the Lin family is rich, so no one in the village dares to provoke Lin Jiuyue.
Not long after Lin Jiuyue arrived home, Xiyue came over with the village chief.
"Jiuyue, huh, I heard, I heard you have something to talk to me about?"
When the village chief heard that Lin Jiuyue wanted to see him, he immediately put down what he was doing and ran over. He was now panting heavily.
Lin Jiuyue smiled at the village chief.
"Uncle, don't be anxious. Sit down and have some tea first, and we'll talk slowly."
The village chief sat down absentmindedly, picked up the tea and started drinking it, and only reacted after he burned his mouth.
"Ouch."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the village chief with amusement.
I called the village chief over myself. I wonder if the village chief thought something big had happened?
However, this is also a big deal.
"Jiuyue girl, what's the matter with you calling me over? Tell me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to figure it out."
"Uncle, it's actually nothing serious. I just want to tell you in advance so you can be mentally prepared."
"What's going on?"
The village chief didn't even drink his tea, but just stared at Lin Jiuyue, as if he was afraid of missing out on some important information.
"Uncle, my brother has sent me a letter."
The village chief was stunned.
Jiu Yue girl's brother? Isn't that Lin Qiye?
Didn't that kid say he was going to the military camp? What does his letter have to do with me?
"Is it a letter from Qiye? How is he? Is he doing well?"
Lin Jiuyue was silent for a moment.
"How can there be such a good life at the border? It's just that there is no danger for the time being."
After hearing this, the village chief widened his eyes.
"What? You said your brother went to the border? Isn't he in the military camp? What's he doing there? I heard that life at the border is cold and harsh, the food is poor, and he has to go out to fight the enemy from time to time. It's very dangerous."
Lin Jiuyue smiled bitterly.
How could he not know what the village chief said? But his younger brother was not young anymore and had his own ideas. If he forced himself to make decisions for him, it would not be conducive to his growth.
It's not a good thing for either him or myself.
"I know that, but it's his own decision, so I can't stop him."
The village chief sighed after hearing this.
When other people were recruiting, they would use connections or money to try to exclude themselves, but Lin Qiye was different. He actually went to the border on his own.
"You kid, when he wanted to go to the border, why didn't you try to stop him? It's so dangerous there."
"Qiye is the only male in your family. To be frank, if anything happens to Qiye, your family will be left without a man to support the family."
After the village chief finished speaking, he seemed to feel that his words were too harsh and spoke again.
"Jiuyue girl, don't blame me for speaking harshly. My words may be a bit harsh, but they are all true..."
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
In this era, there was no such thing as women holding up half the sky. Everyone assumed that only men could establish a household. Although the imperial court could open households for women, the conditions were still somewhat harsh.
Generally speaking, this dynasty still treated women in many unfair ways, but compared to some other dynasties, women's status was much higher.
"Uncle, I know what you said is right, but he's not young anymore, and he always wants to go out and explore the world. If I force him to stay at home, it will be bad for him."
"If one day he sneaks out on his own, I'll be worried. Since he wants to go out so badly, why not let him go out and explore the world? Only by experiencing it on his own can he grow up."
The village chief knew that what Lin Jiuyue said was correct, but he still felt that Lin Qiye should not go out.
Not to mention that the imperial court has not yet forcibly conscripted soldiers. Even if it did, there is only one male in the Lin family, and the imperial court would not conscript Lin Qiye.
Even if the Lin family has a conscription quota, they have money and can settle the matter.
If this happened in my family, I would never let my son go to the battlefield.
The battlefield is not a fun place, it is a place where you can lose your life at any time!
