After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Changing the name was not a secret. Since people asked her, she just told them. If she could spread the news through Sun, that would be great.

When Sun heard Lin Chuyi's words, she knew that this child was planning to completely cut off ties with the Lin family. Well, who made the Lin family so ruthless?

It’s just pitiful for these children. They have to live alone at such a young age. How will they live in the future?

Sun thought about it and couldn't help feeling sorry for the situation. There was more sympathy and pity in her eyes when she looked at Lin Chuyi.

"Then you should go and do your business first. My father-in-law is in the main room. He is probably drinking tea right now."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Lin Chuyi followed the direction pointed by Sun and entered the main hall of the village head's house. As soon as he entered, he saw the village head sitting in the main seat smoking a pipe.

The village head squinted his eyes and looked for a long time before he could see who the person was.

"It's Si Ya. Are you looking for me so early in the morning?"

"Yes, Grandpa Lizheng, I came here this time to ask for your help on several matters."

"You tell me first." The head of the village did not look surprised. They were driven out penniless and helpless, and it was the most difficult time for them.

The phrase "If you have any problems, go to the village head" has been engraved in the hearts of every villager in Qingshan Village.

The head of the village had already anticipated that Lin Chuyi would come to him for help, and he had even figured out how to respond.

He is very clear about the principle of gratitude for a favor and resentment for a favor. He has been the village head for more than 30 years. The reason he can hold this position and has such a good reputation is that he has a scale in his heart and knows how to do things in moderation.

I've lived for so many years and have seen all kinds of things. There have been cases like what happened in the Lin family, but they have never been so extreme.

He also felt sorry for these children, but to what extent he could help them depended on their own performance.

If they can't stand up on their own, he will just give them a helping hand, because no matter how much help they give, it will be useless. If they have their own ideas, he doesn't mind giving them a helping hand.

Sure enough, Lin Si Ya came over, and he still wanted to hear what the child wanted to say to him first.

"It's like this. You know what happened two days ago. We were kicked out of our home and even expelled from our clan. We don't count on these so-called relatives anymore. Please ask the village head to set us up as a separate household. We will have nothing to do with the Lin family from now on."

Lin Chuyi naturally didn't know what the head of the village was planning, so she didn't waste any time and went straight to the point and stated her purpose.

"This matter... I can do it, but are you sure you want to do this, Si Ya? Have you guys thought about how you are going to live after you become independent?" The head of the village looked at Lin Chuyi and spoke slowly.

"Well, we have already discussed it. Since they don't recognize us, there is no reason for us to force our way in. Besides, they don't treat us as their family anyway."

"Among the younger generations, my sister and I work the most, but eat the least and worst. Even if they are willing to support us, our lives won't be much better. It's good to be separated now. We have hands and feet, and as long as we are willing to work, we can always support ourselves."

Lin Chuyi gave her answer without hesitation, then she pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to the head of the village.

When the head of the village heard what Lin Chuyi said, he nodded secretly. He knew very well the character of the Lin family.

Old Lin is stingy and cares about face. The eldest son of the Lin family looks well-dressed and respectable, but he is actually full of calculations. The third son of the Lin family does not have as many ulterior motives as the eldest son, but he is a selfish and cold person. The second son of the Lin family is a good person, but unfortunately he is too honest.

Honest people are the easiest to bully. They are often oppressed by the eldest and third brothers, and even their own children suffer.

He had been to the old Lin family several times before and had seen Lin Si Ya a few times. Whether in terms of stature or clothing, she was no match for the other children in the Lin family.

However, how the Lin family treated their siblings was their family affair. As an outsider, he had no right to interfere and could not intervene, so he just pretended not to see it.

Now that the Lin family has caused such a commotion, Si Ya has finally understood the situation. The fact that she could say such things shows that she has a plan in mind. As long as she can get over this hurdle, it is hard to say what the future will be like.

In that case, he didn't mind helping them. The head of the village took the note handed over by Lin Chuyi, put his pipe on the table, and unfolded the paper to check.

The head of the village was naturally literate. He unfolded the paper and saw only a few names written on it. He looked at Lin Chuyi with a puzzled look.

"This……"

"We have grown up without our own names, so this is a good opportunity to give ourselves some. We decided on these names ourselves. My name is Chuyi, my younger sister is Wuyou, and my younger brother is Lincheng."

"As for the eldest sister's name, let her decide for herself after we bring her back. Then I'll trouble the village head to help change it."

"Okay, as long as you don't regret it."

The head of the village nodded and agreed. If Lin Si Ya and her friends wanted to set up their own business, it was not something that could be done just by saying it. They had to report to the government and register.

Changing your name also requires going to the yamen. Since you have to go to the yamen anyway, it is not difficult to submit your name again.

"Well, this is the first thing I want to say. I came to you to ask how much the house we live in is worth. I want to buy it, but I can't take advantage of the village. Also, the well at the door needs to be unblocked, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to use water. But I don't know much about this, so I can only trouble the village head, grandfather."

When Lin Chuyi saw that the head of the village agreed, he felt relieved and continued to talk about the other purposes of this trip.

"The village bought this house for five taels of silver. It is public property. There is also a lot of open space around it. Since you don't have any land, I will give you the surrounding land. You can open up the wasteland and grow some food and vegetables. I will give you two taels of silver."

"As for clearing the well, it is a technical job. Finding someone to do it will cost anywhere from 700 coins to one tael of silver, depending on the difficulty. All in all, it will cost at least eight taels of silver. Where... do you get the money?"

The head of the village explained to Lin Chuyi in detail the series of expenses required. In the end, he couldn't help but suspect that Lin Chuyi was teasing him. How could a little girl like her get so much money to buy a house?

After listening to the headman's narration, Lin Chuyi showed no surprise. He calmly took off the backpack, took out ten taels of silver from it and handed it to the headman.

The head of the village opened his mouth in disbelief. He looked at the silver, then at Lin Chuyi, and then moved his gaze back to the silver.

"Where did this money come from?"

Lin Chuyi directly threw out the excuse he had prepared long ago.
