Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Lin Xiaoyue didn't expect that the uncle selling pork was so easy to talk to. He took the initiative to give her pig's blood as a bonus. You know, animal blood contains rich nutrients such as iron, protein, vitamins, etc. For some patients with anemia and physical weakness, it can achieve the effect of blood tonic.

Hehe, this gift really touched her heart.

The stall owner heard her say that and looked at her in surprise, "Girl! This thing is so bloody, it can really replenish? Don't try to fool a big guy like me."

"That's true. We poor people can't afford the abalone, shark's fin, and bird's nest of the rich. People in the country with weak bodies can only eat pig blood to replenish their bodies." Lin Xiaoyue said frankly without any reservation.

At first the stall owner thought it made sense, so he weighed the pork for her while smiling, wrapped the pig blood in large leaves, tied up the lard, bones and pig intestines with a hemp rope and handed them to her.

Lin Xiaoyue paid one hundred and twenty-three coins and walked back with the pork she bought.

Lin Zhaodi saw that she had two hands full of things. Didn't she say that she would only buy bones and lard? Lin Zhaodi felt exhausted and didn't want to talk to Lin Xiaoyue anymore.

The two little guys were so happy to see so much meat that they were about to smile. However, the three people who had no self-awareness all chose to be low-key and well-behaved when they saw Lin Zhaodi's gloomy face.

Finally, on the way to the meeting place, Lin Xiaoyue passed by a shop selling pastries. She rolled her eyes and spent another fifty-three cents to buy two packs of ordinary pastries.

Lin Zhaodi: ...

……

When they finally arrived at the agreed meeting place at the city gate, the four sisters saw Lin Baotian and his wife waiting by the ox cart from afar. Even the cloth shop clerk was pushing a small cart and looking around not far away.

Lin Xiaoyue asked the three sisters to go to Uncle Baotian first, and she went to the clerk in the cloth shop.

After saying hello to the boy, they pushed the carts piled high like a mountain towards Lin Zhaodi and the others.

When Lin Baotian and his wife saw the mountains of items, their eyes almost popped out of their sockets with horror: This... this... are the Lin sisters going to rob people?

Then he thought that all the girls in the Lin family were good people, and immediately put this ridiculous idea behind him.

But how much did the wild boar and bear meat sell for?

Enough to buy so many things?

Isn’t that too exaggerated?

Lin Baotian and his wife were secretly shocked.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyue and her friend approaching with a cart, the couple's minds instantly returned to their normal state.

"Uncle Baotian, Aunt Baotian, I'm sorry! I will cause you trouble again when I go back!" As soon as he got close and stopped the cart, Lin Xiaoyue scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

Although Lin Baotian and his wife were curious about how much the wild boar and bear meat were sold for, they were also people who knew their limits. There were people coming and going at the entrance of the town at this moment, and most people who came to the market would gather at the town entrance at this time in the morning to return to the village. They saw that many people from the nearby Linjia Village had noticed that Lin Xiaoyue was pushing such a large and eye-catching cart, so it was obviously not appropriate to ask with so many people around.

The cloth shop owner and his assistant were very careful and tied up all the clothes, quilts, and fabrics they bought with cloth strips. Therefore, it was actually quite convenient for Lin Xiaoyue and his assistant to unload the things from the cart and move them to the ox cart. Together with Uncle Baotian and the Lin sisters, each of them carried some, and they moved all the things to the ox cart in one round trip.

When leaving, Lin Xiaoyue gave the waiter five cents as a tip, which made Lin Zhaodi feel distressed again.

The clerk was quite surprised and delighted. He did not expect to receive a five-cent tip for delivering the goods. He thanked Lin Xiaoyue again and again before pushing the cart back to town.

As soon as the waiter left, the gossipy women from Linjia Village who came to the town to buy things immediately gathered around, pointing and talking about the pile of items on Lin Baotian's ox cart.

"Oh my god, Yasuda, are you rich? Why are you buying so many things at once?"

"I see there are not only rolls of cloth on this cart, but also ready-made clothes...wow, there are more than a dozen sets!"

"Oh my god, this is going to cost so much!"

"It should be at least ten taels here, right?"

"More than that, you see, there are not only ready-made clothes, but also rolls of cloth, all fine cotton, and brand new quilts. I think twenty taels of silver would not be enough."

"Oh my, there's some top quality pork belly and a big piece of pork fat! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, why are you wasting this much money on a non-holiday occasion? You really don't know how to live."

"What? Let me see, let me see, oh my god! The village head must have hit the jackpot and picked up some silver!"

……

The onlookers were initially curious, but later on, some of them even reached out to lift the covering on the basketball hoop of the car and blatantly take a peek inside.

He started out speaking without thinking, but later on he spoke without restraint and made malicious assumptions.

It was obvious that some people were jealous after Yang Gossip's instigation in the morning. Based on Yang Gossip's speculation, everyone guessed that when Lin Baotian and his wife left the village in the morning, they pulled a big wild boar on the ox cart, which was probably shot by the third girl of Lin Laosan's family. Now there were so many items piled on the cart, most of which were actually pots and pans used by every household, and some food. Except for Lin Laosan's family, which was so poor that even mice didn't patronize them, no one else was short of these things. So it was obvious that these were all bought by the girls of the Lin family.

People's hearts are like this. You should be the poorest person in everyone's eyes. You can only survive by relying on others' charity. But suddenly one day, the person who is recognized as the poorest suddenly turns over and has a lot of things. Even if you have all these things, you can't help but feel jealous.

Therefore, the words spoken by the crowd became more and more unpleasant.

Some villagers even began to put the blame on the village head, muttering, "It's easy for the village head to be a village official. He must have more means and ways to make money than us ordinary people."

Lin Baotian initially tried to evade the question by laughing, but as soon as these words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

His father was the head of the village, a village official of some importance. Doesn't everyone come to him for help with any big or small matter? His father never shirked his responsibilities. Not to mention taking advantage of anyone. On the contrary, if anyone had a problem, he would help them if he could.

At that moment, everyone spoke without restraint, and their words became more and more outrageous, almost throwing dirty water on the faces of the whole family.

Lin Baotian stopped smiling, his whole face darkened, veins bulged on his tightly clenched head. Aunt Baotian's face was also very ugly, but she still held back Lin Baotian who was on the verge of a rage.

Lin Zhaodi and Lin Xiaoyue did not expect that the villagers would be so excessive. They kept saying things with ulterior motives. It was obvious that they wanted the head of the village to help them, but they ended up getting into trouble instead.
