Chapter 47 Family Meeting to Discuss Moving to the City
"We're out of water, but we have enough food to last for a while. My parents want us to buy food and water first, and then buy other necessities if we have extra money."
Lin Qingchu said in a low voice that these days even if you have money you can't let others know about it, as it's life-saving money that you keep.
"Buy everything you need. We also need to discuss what to buy first and who will go into town to buy things tomorrow."
Old Man Lin thought of the money that Lin Qingxue still had, and he was very conflicted about whether he should let her take it out to help everyone save their lives. The people in Linjia Village were descendants of the same ancestor, so he was a little hesitant.
In fact, Old Man Lin didn't really want to take out the money to save everyone. He was just worried that if his family was the only one in the village that had enough water and food, other people in the village would rush to steal things from his family.
"It hasn't been decided yet. My master wants everyone to first calculate what they need to buy and how much money they can contribute. Then we can have a meeting tonight to come up with a plan."
Lin Qingchu told the village chief Lin's plan truthfully. He had been out for some time, notified all the villagers, and now planned to go back to check on his own situation.
"Okay, I will take your cousin to a meeting in the evening. You can go back first! There are still many things to do at home," said old man Lin, waving at him.
Lin Qingchu didn't say anything. Seeing that Old Man Lin had no other instructions, he went straight back to his own base.
After Lin Qingchu left, Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law were preparing dinner. Old Man Lin called Lin Qingran, Lin Qingmin, Uncle Lin and his wife, and Lin Qingxue over to discuss what to buy in the city.
"You heard what I just said, so tell me what you think!"
As Old Man Lin spoke, he looked at Lin Qingxue, then at Uncle Lin and his wife, wanting them to express their opinions.
"We definitely need to buy food and salt, as well as water. As for the rest, let's buy some eggs, duck eggs, and meat! The dried vegetables at home will last us for a while."
Aunt Lin didn't explain too clearly because she thought the Liu family was around. She also didn't know what else was in her niece's treasures.
"Looking at the dark crowd of people outside the city, I don't know if we can get into the city," Uncle Lin said with a frown, his tone very depressed.
"Whether we can get in or not, we still have to buy things," Old Man Lin shook his head and said firmly, "We don't have much food or water at home, and the same goes for other families."
"Yes! People always come up with solutions," Mrs. Lin also echoed.
"Are we going to let our eldest brother go to the city with my third brother and me tomorrow?" Lin Qingxue glanced at Uncle Lin, then at Old Man Lin. "We still need to buy another donkey cart. With an extra cart, we and the children can take turns riding it. As for food and water, we can buy them at our leisure. I don't know if the prices in the city are high."
Lin Qingxue was having a headache. She secretly looked at the space last night and found that two ginseng plants had grown well. She planned to dig them out and sell them for silver, and also buy some more things to put in the space.
As for the original banknotes, she didn't plan to touch them. She continued to keep them in the space and take them out when needed in the future. She would use the loose silver to buy things.
"No matter what the prices are in Lingyun City, we still have to buy what we need. Our family's money is all with Qingxue, so you can buy whatever you want."
Old Man Lin said in an affirmative tone that since they gave the silver to their granddaughter for safekeeping, they must trust her.
"Okay, let's buy the necessities such as the donkey cart, food, and water first, and I'll buy the rest later," Lin Qingxue nodded. It seemed that she still had to sell ginseng for silver to buy more food and vegetables.
Thinking of the cooked vegetables and grains in the space, Lin Qingxue felt that she could take out a batch and sell them to the villagers at a low price. Otherwise, if she bought expensive grains, how long would they last?
"Grandpa, uncle, I have a batch of ripe vegetables and grains. I want to sell them to the villagers at a low price. What do you think?"
Lin Qingxue leaned close to Uncle Lin and Old Man Lin's ears and whispered in a low voice, so soft that no one else could hear it except them.
Hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Old Man Lin and Uncle Lin were delighted and asked quickly, "Is it a lot? Will it have any impact on you?"
"Yes! Qingxue, how many pounds of food are there? Won't it affect you?"
Uncle Lin also agreed and said that if it would affect his eldest niece, then forget it. The villagers were important, but not as important as his eldest niece.
"It won't affect us. We haven't collected the food yet, and I don't know how many kilograms of food there are. I'll have my eldest brother and the others follow me in to collect the food tonight, and you two will cover for us."
Lin Qingxue couldn't estimate how much food there was. It was so heavy. She couldn't collect it all by herself, so she needed someone to help.
"Then let your uncle take your brothers and nephews in to collect food for you. At night, you take them to find some animals nearby and collect the food by the way," Old Man Lin nodded slightly and made an arrangement in his mind.
"I understand. We'll leave after dinner," Uncle Lin and Lin Qingran both agreed. Collecting grain is a big deal.
After everything was discussed, Lin Qingxue and the others dispersed. Fortunately, Li Yanniang and the others quickly prepared dinner. After dinner and some water, they carried their baskets and went to look for game nearby.
Uncle Lin took Lin Qingming and his six siblings and Lin Xiaoshan and his three brothers, and found a deserted place with baskets on their backs. Lin Qingxue then took them into the space.
Looking at the heavy ears of rice in the space, Uncle Lin couldn't hide the smile on his face and said loudly: "Children, hurry up and work."
After hearing what Uncle Lin said, Lin Qingxue found the sickle she brought from home and gave it to everyone. The men each took a sickle and went to the fields to harvest rice. Lin Qingxue took the men and went to pick vegetables with a basket on her back.
"Uncle, you guys work here. Qingyue and I are going to pick vegetables over there. There's water and food over there. If you're thirsty or hungry, just eat. If you're tired, just rest."
Lin Qingxue yelled in the direction of Uncle Lin, and without waiting for his response, she pulled Lin Qingyue to the vegetable garden next to her to pick vegetables.
"Sister, the vegetables here are so juicy," Lin Qingyue looked at the vegetables with green eyes, as if a man in later generations saw a peerless beauty.
"If you like, leave some for ourselves," Lin Qingxue said without looking up as she picked vegetables. She planted some cucumbers, peppers, long beans, eggplants and pumpkins in the middle, which can be dried.
There is also a wild vegetable field. The wild vegetables in the field are all transplanted from outside. After a period of automatic growth, these wild vegetables have grown very lush.
