Laugh? Of course she laughed.

This was the result of a plan she had spent nearly two months setting up since her rebirth, countless days and nights, and countless efforts.

As long as she could successfully divide the family property, the suffering she had endured in her previous life would be halved.

If she wasn't afraid of arousing the Lin family's suspicion, Lin Shijie would have laughed out loud.

While Lin Shiyu was observing Lin Shijie, Old Man Lin was observing his three sons.

The eldest son's eyes lit up after hearing his words, the second son's mouth corners curled up subconsciously, and the youngest son remained calm.

He knew that separation was a foregone conclusion!

Old Master Lin sighed inwardly and didn't want to talk anymore. Instead, he drank his porridge in silence.

His silence this time did not make the people in the lobby feel depressed. Although no one spoke anymore, their joy was already overflowing from their faces.

It seems that I am the only one who feels sad, Mr. Lin thought to himself mockingly.

"Eat your food, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

Old Mrs. Lin picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, comforting him in a very perfunctory manner.

Old Master Lin glared at his wife and said, "Don't think I don't know. She has wanted to divide the family property for a long time. Humph!"

Old Mrs. Lin was not afraid of him at all. As the old saying goes, one does not know how expensive firewood and rice are until he is in charge of the household, and one does not know how tiring it is to be in charge of the household.

This old man is always thinking about the happiness of his family and doesn't understand the hard work of an old woman like her.

If it were him, he would have to get up before dawn every day to cook meals for a dozen people, distribute rations to everyone fairly and justly, and assign tasks to the adults and children in the family every day.

Every quarter, you have to arrange the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and every holiday, you have to coordinate the gifts to each daughter-in-law's family, etc.

It was a mess. If the two of them switched places, she suspected that the old man would start yelling about splitting up the family within three days and ask them to each take care of their own business.

Before she had a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin thought that once she had one, she would have more people to help her and her life would be easier.

Who knew she was being too hasty? One more helper wouldn't be enough, but it was true that one more person would lead to more trouble.

It’s not that she didn’t delegate authority to her daughters-in-law to take charge of household chores, but if they weren’t so selfish, she wouldn’t want to take these things back in the end.

The eldest daughter-in-law, the housekeeper, always thinks about giving good things to her own children; the second daughter-in-law, the housekeeper, always thinks about giving good things to her parents' home; the third daughter-in-law, the housekeeper, can't manage the household, and her daughter, who gets out of breath after walking a few steps, is only fit to lie down.

She had already given birth to three troublesome sons, and now she had three more troublesome daughters-in-law. Old Mrs. Lin had long wanted to give up her job.

Since Mr. Lin didn't appreciate it, Mrs. Lin shut up and stopped talking.

"Mom, I'm full." Lin Shiyu refused Liu's offer to feed her.

"Can you eat a little more?" Liu coaxed her in a soft voice.

The doctor said that if my daughter wanted to get better, she had to eat well and eat enough.

For this purpose, she specially bought her favorite eggs and let her eat one every day.

Lin Shiyu shook her head in denial, then touched her round belly and said, "I can't pretend."

She was already thin, and after eating, her belly swelled up like a ball. Compared with her tiny body, her belly looked even bigger.

Seeing this, Liu gave up, patted her head and told her to stay in her seat, then she took the bowl and drank the porridge.

Her daughter was just fished out of the river a few days ago. Whenever she thought of her little blue face at that time, Liu dared not let her out of her sight.

So even if her daughter was full, she didn't dare let her go out to play alone.

The voices of the mother and daughter interrupted the tranquility in the hall. With them taking the lead, the other juniors followed suit and started talking, and gradually the adults joined in.

The lobby returned to its former bustling scene.

Zhang from the second house couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard the conversation between Lin Shiyu and her daughter.

A big bowl of white porridge with an egg, she is the only one who can eat more than anyone in the family. If she is not full with this, then no one in the family will be full.

…

Since Mr. Lin has made up his mind to split the family business, he won't drag his feet.

Early the next morning, he arranged for his sons to start counting the property in the house.

Dividing the family property is not something that can be decided simply by talking, nor is it as simple as dividing the family money.

From large items like tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets to small items like pots, pans, and even wood for cooking must be clearly separated.

This is a big project, and if it is to be divided, it must be done clearly and explicitly to avoid quarrels in the future and affect the normal interactions between brothers and sisters-in-law.

Lin Shiyu was thinking about the contents of the novel before going to bed last night. She didn't know what time it was before she fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, she was alone in the room.

She put on her shoes and walked out of the room with her short legs, just in time to meet Liu, who had just returned home from washing clothes.

Liu's health was not good to begin with, and it became even worse when she was injured when she gave birth to Lin Shiyu.

All the heavy work assigned to the family, as long as it was done by the third wife, was undertaken solely by her father Lin Anru.

However, Liu still needs to do the general housework herself.

"Mom will go heat up the porridge for you. Please sit and wait for me for a while, okay?" Liu put down the wash basin in her hand and asked in a low voice.

Seeing Lin Shiyu nod obediently, she walked towards the kitchen.

Liu walked away, and Lin Shiyu went to the wall and carried a small chair to the gate of the yard.

That place was the original body's favorite place to stay during the day after returning to the Lin family.

She liked to sit by the door, looking in the direction she came from, missing her deceased grandfather.

After traveling through time, she also likes to sit by the door, looking at the bustling crowd in the distance, and missing her comfortable and decadent life in modern times.

After Liu came out of the kitchen, she was not surprised to see her daughter outside the courtyard gate. She sighed slightly in her heart, but her face was still as gentle as ever.

"Mom feeds you?"

"I'll do it myself!" Lin Shiyu refused without hesitation.

Lin Shiyu refused her feeding, and Liu was very disappointed.

Because her daughter was born prematurely and was weak, she grew up with her grandfather. Her grandfather passed away last month, and then he took her home.

Perhaps because she was not familiar with them, she didn't talk much after returning home. Most of the time she sat at the threshold of the gate and looked into the distance in the direction of her grandfather's house.

A few days ago, we finally got her familiar with the environment and people at home and she was willing to go out and play with her brother. But she actually fell into the water when she went out.

After waking up, my daughter became the same as before, sitting on the doorstep from time to time, staring into the distance or daydreaming by herself.

Although they are the closest blood relatives, her daughter always feels like there is an invisible veil between them.
