"Aren't you angry when they talk about you like this?"
Gu Chengyan glanced at Lin Jiuyue curiously.
"Why are you angry? Aren't they telling the truth?"
A smile appeared on Gu Chengyan's lips.
“It is indeed true.”
On the fifth day after Lin Jiuyue and others arrived in Shangbei Village, Shangbei Village welcomed two more refugees fleeing famine.
As soon as Lin Jiuyue reached the entrance of the village, he happened to meet the refugees who were settled in Shangbei Village.
"Excuse me, young lady, is this Shangbei Village?"
Lin Jiuyue looked at the people in front of her who were not in a bad state but were carrying large and small bags of luggage and nodded.
"Who are you?"
The man who asked the question smiled shyly when he heard Lin Jiuyue speak.
"Girl, we are refugees who escaped famine and were settled in Shangbei Village."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the group of people in front of her curiously.
As far as I know, Shangbei Village is considered the best village among all refugee resettlement villages.
These people in front of me. To be able to be settled in Shangbei Village, either they paid money or used connections, or, like my family, they had someone behind them to help them. I just don't know which category these people belong to.
"Yes, the village chief's house is on the left. There is a pomegranate tree in front of their house."
Lin Jiuyue raised her hand and pointed to the location of the village chief's house.
After everyone left, the brother and sister walked towards the town.
"It seems that the refugees have arrived in various villages one after another. I wonder how many people we will arrange to come to Shangbei Village."
"It's the government's business to decide how many people to send over. Why should we worry about that?"
Lin Jiuyue said indifferently.
A nest of gold or silver is not as good as a thatched nest of my own. Now I just want to finish building the house as soon as possible.
Lin Qiye lay down on the wooden board pulled by Mara, looking very comfortable.
"That's true."
"Sister, when can we replace this wooden cart with a carriage like everyone else? We're using horses! A horse and a wooden cart really don't go together."
Lin Jiuyue didn't even look at Lin Qiye.
"The cart has been unloaded. Will you pull it when it's time to load the goods?"
"Besides, we've been lavishly building our house since we arrived in Shangbei Village, and that's already arousing envy. If we replace it with a carport, won't we be targeted? Keep a low profile, understand?"
Lin Qiye curled his lips.
"Tsk, I miss you, Lin Jiuyue. After all, you were a martial arts coach before coming here, not to mention that you have an ace in your hand now. I didn't expect you to become so timid."
Lin Jiuyue sighed.
"Alas, there's nothing we can do. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. We just arrived here, and the ground hasn't even warmed up yet. We have to be careful. Otherwise, we won't know how we died. Let's survive first, then we can think of other things."
After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, Lin Qiye fell silent.
It has been nearly two months since he traveled here. After experiencing the famine, Lin Qiye also understood that this is not the 21st century, and there is no such thing as equality for all as in the 21st century.
Sometimes, the lives of ordinary people are really as cheap as grass.
In the silence between the siblings, the carriage arrived at the town unnoticed. After paying the entrance fee, Lin Jiuyue and her brother went straight to the herbal medicine shop.
A batch of medicinal herbs in the space have matured, and Lin Jiuyue plans to sell some of the herbs that Bubble has sorted out.
It has been more than half a month since the last space upgrade. This time, if I want to upgrade the space, I will need a lot of silver.
If I don't seize the time to earn some money, I don't know when this space can be upgraded.
"Qi Ye, come on, take the bag."
Lin Qiye took a bundle from the carriage and followed Lin Jiuyue happily.
"Sister, after I sell the herbs this time, can you give me some silver? I want to go out and try my luck."
Lin Jiuyue looked at her younger brother in surprise.
"Why did you suddenly think of going out and trying your luck?"
Lin Qiye laughed, "Hehe."
"Hey, I've been following you around all this time, eating and drinking for free. I always feel like a useless person."
"What's wrong with eating and drinking for free? You are my brother, do you think I can live without you?"
Lin Qiye shook his head.
"No, I just feel that I can't follow you around forever, right? I'm getting older, so I have to get married, right? Do I have to eat and drink with my wife and children at my sister's house? That's ridiculous!"
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue looked at Lin Qiye meaningfully.
"Oh? Nanaba, does this mean you've come to your senses or that you've found someone you like?"
Lin Qiye was shocked by Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Sister, please don't talk nonsense. It's not true."
"How boring! It was just a joke. Look how scared you are."
After saying that, Lin Jiuyue was the first to enter the herbal medicine shop.
Lin Qiye followed Lin Jiuyue happily, carrying his bag.
"Sister, is this possible?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes."
As soon as the brother and sister walked into the herbal medicine shop, Lin Qiye put the bag in his hand on the counter of the shop.
"Shopkeeper, do you accept medicinal herbs here?"
The shopkeeper, who was standing at the counter fiddling with his abacus, didn't even raise his head, but the voice came over.
"Selling medicinal herbs? What kind of medicinal herbs?"
Lin Qiye and his sister did not dare to be too high-profile.
"Shopkeeper, please take a look and see if you will accept our medicinal herbs."
Lin Jiuyue took the bundle and took out some of the medicinal herbs from it.
In this corner, people outside the door cannot see the medicinal herbs in the bundle, but the shopkeeper standing behind the counter can see them clearly.
Originally, the shopkeeper did not take Lin Jiuyue and her brother seriously.
Firstly, it was because he was busy counting his accounts, and secondly, there were no good medicinal herbs in this small town.
Even if there are good medicinal herbs, people will not sell them in this small town. They will take them to the capital to sell because the price is higher there.
But the moment the bundle was opened, a smell of medicine hit him in the face.
The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing when he smelled the medicine and looked at the herbs in the bag.
The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide in shock.
"This, this? Is this the medicinal material you brought?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, shopkeeper, do you accept medicinal herbs here?"
The shopkeeper then began to look at Lin Jiuyue and her brother carefully.
After a long while, he spoke.
"We collect medicinal herbs here, but..."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
According to my experience, whenever someone mentions the word "but", there is most likely something else going on.
"Boss, if you have anything to say, just say it."
After thinking about it, Lin Jiuyue smiled and asked.
"However, the prices we charge in this shop are lower than those in the capital."
