Grandma Lin glared again, picked up her cane from the ground and slammed it against the ground: "What, are you the only one left in the house who can do everything? Do you expect me, an old lady, to get up early to cook for you?"

Wu Cuiying's face darkened instantly. She was about to speak to Lin Anniang when her husband slapped her shoulder hard.

"Cuiying, from now on, the Lin family will depend on you to manage things. We'll work hard, and once I earn some money, we'll buy a little maid!"

Hearing this, the Lin family members were extremely aggrieved. They originally had three "maids" at their beck and call, but now they had lost both their wife and their money. They didn't know when the gate would be repaired, or whether they would be able to sleep at night.

Wu Cuiying rolled her eyes, displeased: "Even Master's family doesn't employ maids, when will you ever earn that kind of money, and besides..."

Besides, how could Mother possibly be happy about it?

Before they could even finish speaking, Old Madam Lin was already yelling, "Why hire a maid? That would cost more than ten taels of silver! Another mouth to feed is just a waste of our food. Do you think food grows on trees?"

“It’s not like our Lin family doesn’t have other daughters-in-law. Wu Cuiying, you’ve been married into the family for so many years and we haven’t asked you to do anything. What’s wrong with asking you to cook a few meals next time?”

Wu Deyun and the others didn't listen to the commotion at the Lin family's house any longer and left with their hoes.

Before heading home, Wu Deyun and Zhang Chongjiu looked in the direction Lin Anniang had left and discovered that the mother and her two daughters had indeed gone to the desolate mountains.

At this moment, Zhang Chongjiu suddenly remembered what the five-year-old girl had said earlier, and stopped carrying his hoe.

"Ade, do you think their sudden increase in strength is related to that mountain god temple?"

Otherwise, how could they all be reborn after making a wish at the mountain god temple?

Wu Deyun shook his head firmly: "There aren't that many miraculous things. Look at all those temples and shrines, how many people have had their wishes fulfilled?"

But Zhang Chongjiu, who was standing next to him, felt that something was wrong. His intuition was always very accurate.

In recent years, those enemy troops have all learned to breathe fire. I've also heard that a particularly powerful national advisor has emerged in a neighboring country, capable of appearing and disappearing suddenly.

So, after Wu Deyun returned home, Zhang Chongjiu secretly followed the route the mother and her two daughters had taken.

He didn't get too close, but stayed far away. However, due to the obstruction of the surrounding trees, he quickly lost track of the mother and her daughters.

Zhang Jiuzhong was not disappointed. He decided to come back later. Surely the mother and her two daughters would eventually go home.

barren mountain.

Lin Anniang carefully tucked the leaf and the wrapped chicken bone into her bosom and asked her eldest daughter in a low voice.

"Xiuxiu, what happened after you and your sister found that mountain god temple? Tell me everything, and let your mother analyze it for you."

By this time, even Lin Anniang, who was usually foolish, understood what was going on with her daughters' strength.

That roast chicken was obtained from the mountain god temple, and all three of them ate it. It could only be that the mountain god goddess bestowed this power upon them!

Thinking about this, Lin Anniang actually had some worries.

In her earlier years, she had also heard some strange tales and legends, in which the "ghosts" would usually collect a reward after a wish was fulfilled.

Lin Anniang feared that her daughter had not encountered the Mountain Goddess at all, but rather...

Lin Xiu, on the other hand, was very cheerful, skipping and jumping as she told me, "Mother, after we went to the Mountain God Temple yesterday, I promised the Mountain Goddess that I would replace the temple with a brand new wooden door. The old wooden door was half broken and unusable!"

"After that, the Mountain Goddess gave me a roasted chicken, which must have meant she heard my promise!"

Lin Anniang breathed a slight sigh of relief. Since it was a promise about the mountain god temple, it meant that the unknown entity was a good thing.

“Come on, take Mother there now. We’ll go to the Mountain Goddess to fulfill our vow first, and then we’ll cut down trees to make a wooden door.”

When she left, Lin Anniang took some of Lin Erluo's tools with her, so that they could be used to make them on the spot and install them on the mountain god temple.

Compared to my own dilapidated little house, the mountain god temple is still the most important!

Inside the dilapidated temple.
