Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

When Lin Zhaodi heard this, her smiling face, which had been cheerful just now, suddenly became cloudy. She turned her head away and didn't want to meet Lin Xiaoyue's gaze.

"Third sister..."

Noticing that the joyful atmosphere had suddenly frozen, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu tugged at Lin Xiaoyue's sleeves nervously.

Chun Xing and Xiao Cao had been busy helping her with matters concerning the mansion and farm in Yongzhou City some time ago, and had never paid attention to this matter. But now that Lin Xiaoyue opened her mouth, their attention was immediately drawn to it.

Seeing that they were in a stalemate and didn't say anything, just walking with their heads down, the hunter's wife sighed softly, quickened her pace, stepped forward to touch the heads of the fourth and fifth children, and whispered softly in Lin Xiaoyue's ear, "During the time you were away from the farm, Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin have been silent. Auntie Lin even moved to your original room. Uncle Lin took the initiative to talk to her, but she ignored him.

Many people in the village saw that the atmosphere was not right and tried to persuade them. But... "

"Do you know why we went up the mountain?" Lin Zhaodi didn't let the hunter's wife continue the conversation. Instead, she smiled bitterly and took over the conversation herself, "Mother wants to divorce father?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaoyue's breath was choked in her throat. She couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and she couldn't speak at all.

"It wasn't that my parents were quarreling. It was that Old Madam Lin brought that so-called concubine to our house and made trouble again, and the trouble lasted for seven days.

If Sun Wanjin hadn't come with his men to buy wine and happened to run into those people in the old house making a scene at the door, throwing dirty water at everyone they met, and if he hadn't kindly helped to chase them away, who knows how long those people would have continued to make trouble?

A'niang couldn't bear it anymore. After so many years, she could endure the hardships with A'da and the oppression and torture in the old house with A'da. However, she couldn't accept that A'da was soft-hearted to the jackals in the old house again and again.

My mother proposed a divorce to my father, but my father did not agree. The two of them locked themselves in the room and quarreled and cried for a whole day, which scared the fourth and fifth children into tears.

That’s why I took them and followed the hunter couple up the mountain to get some fresh air.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue really didn't know what to say to Old Man Lin.

She had clearly seen through the hypocritical and ugly faces of those people in the old house, but she still wanted to deceive herself and others. She had to find an excuse for her reputation and repeatedly tolerate those people in the old house trampling and crushing her and her daughter.

He thought he was a good husband and a good father, but he always neglected his wife and children.

A man must despise himself before others will despise him.

He repeatedly looked down on his wife and daughter, and repeatedly backed down and admitted defeat when faced with difficulties, just to make his family look three points shorter than the jackals and tigers in the old house.

Little does he know that he is giving in all the time until he has no room to retreat. What will fate do to him?

Lin Xiaoyue heaved a long sigh and said, "I support my mother and father to divorce. I will be with my mother, and I will raise her."

The Lin sisters suddenly held their breath and even paused in their steps.

San Ya's implication was that she supported Old Man Lin and Miao's divorce.

I don't even want to persuade him.

Lin Zhaodi's eyes darkened. In her heart, no matter how bad her father was, he was still their father. She didn't want her father and mother to divorce, and she didn't want her good family to be broken up. Although, sometimes, the sisters' ideas were highly consistent.

After that, the group stopped talking and walked to the dental clinic in silence.

Although they had been to a dental clinic once before, that was in Wanbao Town.

Yongzhou City is the superior city of Wanbao Town after all, so the pawnshop is naturally much bigger than the ones in Wanbao Town.

After all, it is an intermediary market, and the differences are huge. Whether you can buy a trustworthy person or a shop you like depends entirely on your personal vision.

Lin Xiaoyue planned to test Ergouzi's ability, so she let him choose the shop by himself first, and then she would review it and make the final decision.

She took a few sisters and followed the matchmaker to select people.

Along the way, the matchmaker praised her subordinates eloquently and also asked Lin Xiaoyue what kind of servants she wanted and how many people she wanted.

Lin Xiaoyue calculated silently in her mind that she would need to buy at least three families to house in her three mansions. Moreover, if she wanted to buy a shop, she would also need to put corresponding people to work in the shop.

The matchmaker here is equivalent to their modern human traffickers, except that in this dynasty, the trade done by human traffickers is legal. Unlike modern human traffickers, who specialize in cheating and selling children or women.

But buying people is one thing, and Lin Xiaoyue wants to buy some down-to-earth people who can do things. She doesn't want to find servants who are honest on the surface but secretly bully their masters. What's the difference between that and finding an ancestor to worship?

Moreover, she would only buy the kind that signed a death contract. She didn't have the time to hand over her skills to someone who signed a living contract and was ready to sell himself and leave at the end of the term.

Before they have trained the people well, they jump to other places to make money. As the saying goes, if you teach your apprentice well, you will starve the master to death.

She doesn't have the leisure and elegance to help others make wedding dresses.

Also, she was born in a poor family, and there were no young masters or old masters in her family. Therefore, she didn't want those who were white-skinned, beautiful, delicate, and soft, who couldn't carry anything, and who only wanted to climb onto the bed.

Lin Xiaoyue mentioned her request to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker thought about it and found some people for her to choose from.

But among these people, Lin Xiaoyue looked for a long time and didn't see anyone suitable.

Or they wear tattered clothes with patches on top of patches and are covered in dirt.

Or the fabrics of the clothes they wore were not much worse than those of Lin Xiaoyue and the others, and some were even better. These people were obviously from wealthy families. When they saw Lin Xiaoyue and the others coming over, they just glanced at them and ignored them, not caring at all whether they could be bought or not.

Needless to say, anyone can see that such a servant must have his own ideas.

She wouldn't even dare to accept such a person if he was given to her.

Finally, Lin Xiaoyue looked around and couldn't pick out what she wanted, so she asked the matchmaker if she had any family.

The matchmaker was very surprised. "Miss, the one you want has a whole family, but they all have both old and young. The old ones are toothless and can't do any physical work, or the young ones can't carry anything, and the half-grown ones still need someone to take care of them. I'm afraid..."

Lin Xiaoyue still had a good impression of this matchmaker. She was a very down-to-earth person, and she didn't say anything nonsense just because she was eager to sell the person she had.

Lin Xiaoyue said that it was okay, if there was anything really useful, she could accept it.
