"Jiuyue girl, you're right, this carriage is much more comfortable to ride in than an ox cart."
The cushion under my butt is soft, and it's not bumpy at all when I sit on it, unlike an ox cart which hurts my butt due to the bumps.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
An ox cart has its advantages, and a horse cart has its advantages.
"Auntie, actually, the ox cart is pretty good. When it's free, it can help plow the fields. This horse can't plow the fields."
When the village chief's wife heard Lin Jiuyue's words, the smile on her face appeared again.
"That's right. For a country family like us, it's more cost-effective to buy an ox cart. This horse, for our family, is really not as cost-effective as an ox cart."
We chatted and laughed along the way, and the carriage soon arrived at the village.
"Jiuyue girl, if you want to go to the fields, just drop your aunt and uncle off at the entrance of the village."
The village chief's wife was afraid of delaying Lin Jiuyue's business, so she asked to get off the carriage as soon as she arrived at the village entrance.
Lin Jiuyue hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
"OK."
The carriage stopped, and the village head's wife happily walked home. Even when someone called her at the village entrance, she did not stop.
My family went to the town to sell rapeseed sprouts early in the morning. The family hasn't eaten yet, so I have to go back quickly to prepare the meal so that my son can eat as soon as he comes back. The rapeseed sprouts in the field are still waiting for me to pick.
When the village chief's wife thought of the rapeseed sprouts in her own field, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
"Did the village chief and his family make some money today? Look how happy they are, their mouths are almost stretched to their ears."
"What's the matter? Are you jealous of others making money? It's a pity that you don't have the village chief's foresight and failed to establish a relationship with your Lin family. Otherwise, your family would also be able to sell for money by now."
"My family are all honest people. We wouldn't do anything to curry favor with others."
The villager who spoke had a very sour tone.
When I first knew the Lin family were fleeing famine, I was afraid they would ask me for help, so I deliberately stayed away from them. If I had known the Lin family was so resourceful and could make people rich with just a random idea, I would have stuck with them no matter what.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to regret now.
"You said that, aren't you afraid that the village chief will find out and make things difficult for you?"
"If the village chief knew about it, it must have been one of you who told it."
Villager: ...
Lin Jiuyue took Lin Qiye to her own rapeseed field.
"Qiye, you haven't been back for a long time. You don't know what our rapeseed field looks like, right? Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Lin Qiye laughed twice.
"You can tell without even looking that it must be very good-looking."
My sister has a space, and the spiritual spring water in the space is better than any fertilizer. Just use a little bit to water the rapeseed, and the rapeseed will grow very well.
When they arrived at the field, Xiyue and the others had already picked three baskets of rapeseed sprouts.
"Miss, you're here?"
Lin Jiuyue looked at Qiye.
"Well, this is my brother. Xiyue, you haven't seen him yet, right?"
Xiyue nodded.
"Hello, Master. My name is Xiyue."
Seeing so many people coming to his field, Qi Ye looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"Sister, are all the people picking rapeseed sprouts in this field hired by you?"
Before Lin Jiuyue could even open her mouth, Xiyue spoke out.
"Master, these servants and I are all servants bought by the young lady."
Lin Qiye: ...
What happened at home while I was away? Why are there suddenly so many servants?
Why didn't my sister mention this to me?
"Sister, is this true?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Of course it's true. I told you before that you didn't have to go to the army and I could still make you live a good life, but you refused to believe me."
Lin Jiuyue said to Lin Qiye with some pride.
Lin Qiye curled his lips.
"When did I say I didn't believe it? I just think a real man should have his own career. If he doesn't do anything, what's the difference between him and Xianyu?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Why does it feel like my younger brother is talking about me when he says this? Am I not just an idle fish?
"Ahem, I feel like you're talking about me."
After hearing this, Lin Qiye quickly retorted.
"No, no, no, sister, I didn't say that to you, don't let your imagination run wild..."
Lin Jiuyue smiled when she saw her brother’s big reaction.
"Alright, alright, let's go pick some rapeseed sprouts together. We're going to sell them tomorrow."
Lin Qiye: ...
I'm a centurion, but when I get home, I have to go with them to pick rapeseed sprouts! Is picking rapeseed sprouts what a centurion should do?
"What are you still standing there for? Get down there and get started!"
Seeing that her sister looked fierce, Lin Qiye moved her lips, but in the end she followed her sister to the field without saying anything.
After picking the rapeseed sprouts, the group of people slowly walked home.
The villagers saw a man following Lin Jiuyue from a distance. At first, they didn't see clearly and thought it was Lin Jiuyue's lover or something. They were about to say something, but when they thought of Lin Jiuyue's previous tough appearance, they all held back.
When I got closer, I realized that the man was Lin Qiye.
"Huh? Why is Lin Qiye back? Has the war at the border ended?"
"Impossible? If the war is over, there would be no news here."
"Isn't this the boy from the Lin family? Lin family boy, why are you back? Has the war at the border ended?"
Lin Qiye saw that he didn't know the person who asked him the question, but he still replied politely.
"No, I'm only back for a few days and will be leaving in a few days."
The villagers noticed a more solemn and murderous aura on Lin Qiye's resolute face. It was completely different from before. It looked a little scary, so they didn't dare to approach and ask more questions.
Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one asked him any more questions.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Qiye hurried back home with his sister.
After arriving home, Lin Jiuyue called Xiyue and others over.
"Xiyue, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Laifu, Laicai, I have something to do tomorrow. I won't go with you to sell rapeseed sprouts. I'll leave the selling of rapeseed sprouts to you."
Xiyue asked doubtfully after hearing this.
"Miss, are you going on a long journey?"
"No, I'm at home. But I probably won't have time to go out."
When Aunt Li heard this, she quickly said
"Miss, then this old slave will stay at home and take care of you."
Lin Jiuyue hesitated for a moment.
The amount of rapeseed sprouts needed each day was even less than it is now, and now I am one less person. If Aunt Li doesn't go, I don't know if I can handle the work of selling and picking rapeseed sprouts.
"That's right, Miss. Let Aunt Li stay at home to take care of you. We can handle the busy work."
