After sitting on the roadside for a while, Gou'er slapped his thigh and stood up with a "swoosh".
"We have to find a way to live a good life. Otherwise, if we go hungry every other day, there will be no meaning in living like this."
He muttered to himself, then turned and left.
Lin Jiuyue was counting coins at home at this time, and had no idea that someone was targeting her.
"Miss, what should I do with these copper coins? Do I need to exchange them for silver?"
Xiyue glanced at the copper coins in the wooden box and asked.
"Well, keep it for now. If you need copper coins later, I'm too lazy to go to the bank to exchange them."
People who do business must always have some extra change on hand. Although copper coins are not easy to store, there will be times when they are needed.
Upon hearing this, Xiyue handed the lock aside to Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss, please lock it."
Lin Jiuyue took out some scattered copper coins from the wooden box, then put the whole number of copper coins into the wooden box and locked it.
"Xiyue, this copper coin is on you. When you need it, you can take it out and use it."
Xiyue nodded and took the copper coins.
After counting the copper coins, Lin Jiuyue led everyone to pick rapeseed sprouts.
When the villagers saw that Lin Jiuyue had picked rapeseed sprouts yesterday and was picking rapeseed sprouts again today, they started asking about it.
Lin Jiuyue did not deliberately hide anything. She said what she should say and just laughed it off when she shouldn't say it.
After Lin Jiuyue left, the villagers began to talk about it.
"Did you see that? The Lin family is out picking rapeseed sprouts again today. I heard they went to town to sell them early this morning. They sold out just after noon and came back with a full cart!"
"Hey, what do you think that rapeseed moss thing is? Is it really that popular?"
"It's not just easy to sell. I heard that rapeseed sprouts are quite expensive! The Lin family sells them for ten copper coins per pound! This time, the Lin family will probably make a lot of money just by selling rapeseed sprouts."
When the villagers heard this, some were envious, some were jealous, and some regretted it.
"Oh, if I had known earlier, when the Lin family was planting rapeseed, I would have planted it too. They've already started making money from growing rapeseed, but we haven't made anything from growing wheat yet."
"By the way, didn't the village chief also plant an acre of rapeseed? Why didn't I see the village chief selling it?"
The person who said this appeared to care about the village chief, but no one knew what he was actually thinking.
"Who knows? I guess they don't even know that rapeseed moss can be sold."
Yesterday, I picked a few baskets of rapeseed sprouts and also negotiated an order with Yipinxiang Restaurant. However, many people still didn't buy the rapeseed sprouts, so Lin Jiuyue planned to pick more today.
Just like yesterday, during the rapeseed sprout picking period, there were always villagers coming to watch the fun. Lin Jiuyue had already explained it to the villagers yesterday, and when the villagers asked again today, Lin Jiuyue felt a little annoyed.
After finally picking enough rapeseed sprouts, Lin Jiuyue hurried away in his carriage.
On the way back to the village, Lin Jiuyue overheard the villagers' discussions.
"Miss, these people are so annoying. They always talk about others behind their backs."
Lin Jiuyue smiled calmly.
"Let them talk if they want. We won't lose a single piece of meat anyway."
After listening to this, Xiyue felt that it made sense, but she still looked angry.
"That being said, I feel uncomfortable listening to this."
"Then just pretend you didn't hear it."
Lin Jiuyue moved to the village later, and after moving in, she rarely walked around the village. Even if she occasionally needed help, she would ask the village chief to do it for her.
Aside from the village chief's family, Lin Jiuyue wasn't very familiar with the villagers. Naturally, there was no need for her to care about what the villagers said about her.
"It's fine if this girl from the Lin family doesn't bring us along when she has something good to do, but her family has such a good relationship with the village chief's family, why doesn't she bring the village chief's family along?"
"The village chief made a big decision to grow rapeseed with the Lin family. It doesn't make sense for her family to keep the rapeseed sprouts in the fields after they've sold all of them. That's really unfair."
Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue was still a little angry.
It's a bit too much to say that you can do it, but to sow discord behind people's backs.
"Haha, look at what you're saying. Would you tell others about your family's profitable business? It's normal for them not to tell you."
When the carriage arrived next to the talking group, Lin Jiuyue asked Xiyue to stop the carriage.
After the carriage stopped, Lin Jiuyue jumped off directly.
"Aunties, uncles, grandparents, what are you chatting about here? What are you talking about? Let me listen too."
The people who were chatting animatedly just now shut up when they saw that Lin Jiuyue did not go back with the carriage but ran over to ask questions.
"Haha, Miss Lin, have you finished picking the rapeseed sprouts? Are you planning to take them to town to sell tomorrow? There are so many, can you sell them all?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Jiuyue's mouth.
"Auntie, let's not talk about whether the rapeseed sprouts can be sold out right now. Tell me, what were you talking about just now?"
The woman who tried to change the subject saw that Lin Jiuyue was not misled by her, and she knew in her heart that what she and others had just said must have been overheard by others.
I just don’t know how much I’ve heard of it.
"Haha, what else can we talk about? Just, just some daily conversation."
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
These women in the village, day after day, have so much free time. Whenever they stop, they gather together to chat about the neighbors' affairs.
And I am always the target of gossip among them.
Although being talked about won't make you lose any weight, it's still quite frustrating to have people talking about you every day.
"Really? But why did I hear you guys saying bad things about me just now? Did I hear it wrong?"
When the woman heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she looked embarrassed.
"Haha, Miss Lin, you must have heard it wrong. We were just chatting casually. I didn't say anything bad about you. You heard it wrong."
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
These people not only love gossip, but also tell lies without blinking an eye.
"Aunt, I heard everything you just said. It's useless for you to deny it."
"Whether I, Lin Jiuyue, am willing to help the villagers get rich is my freedom. Whether I'm honest or not is none of your business. After all, we're not all that familiar with each other. Even if I'm not honest, it won't cause any loss to you."
Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, paused, and then continued.
"But I can't pretend I know nothing about you guys saying bad things about me behind my back. What's more, you're trying to sow discord!"
