Hearing that the female ghost might be nearby, Lin Zhongyuan became even more frightened, and his fingers trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, big brother, Little Pink Butterfly is so kind. She offered to help you chop wood so you can focus on your studies," Lin Wanyue comforted her older brother, patting his hand like a little adult.

"..." No matter how precocious Lin Zhongyuan was, he was still only a ten-year-old child. At this moment, he pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Miss Pink Butterfly!" Lin Zhongyuan bowed to the pile of firewood once again.

The little pink butterfly next to her laughed heartily, completely lacking any decorum.

Soon, the whole family knew that Lin Wanyue was keeping a ghost at home.

Lin Weiming felt that as a father, he needed to have a serious talk with Lin Wanyue.

He pulled Lin Wanyue onto his lap and said gently, "Wanwan, your older brother said you're keeping a ghost at home?"

"Yes!" Lin Wanyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sister Little Pink Butterfly won't hurt anyone! Her only wish is to find that heartless man and take revenge."

“But Wanwan, don’t you know how cunning ghosts are? How could a little girl like you possibly deal with those ghosts who spout nonsense?” Lin Weiming was very skeptical.

But this time, Laifu and Little Pink Butterfly are on the same side.

"Hmph!" the two ghosts retorted angrily, "We ghosts don't lie as much as humans! It's clearly you humans who love to lie, yet you're blaming us ghosts!"

“We’ve been dead for so many years, what need is there for us to lie?” the little pink butterfly said disdainfully.

Lin Wanyue's eyes were wide open, clean and bright.

"Kexi, Father, have you ever been deceived by a ghost?" Lin Wanyue asked in return.

"Of course not, I've never seen a ghost before," Lin Weiming said. Last night, because of his leg injury, he didn't go with the men to look for someone.

Lin Wanyue's eyes looked even more innocent: "Then how do you know that ghosts can lie to people?"

"Uh..." Lin Weiming hesitated for a moment before finally saying with some difficulty, "But that's what it says in the books."

“Those silver pieces are written in the book.” Lin Wanyue looked at her father.

Little Pink Butterfly laughed so hard that her fresh face was torn in two. She replaced it with a new paper doll: "Hahahaha, Wanwan is so smart. It's obvious that those authors are the ones who are lying."

Lin Weiming was speechless.

"But..." He searched until he was scraping his stomach, still trying to find a reason to refuse.

Lin Wanyue, however, had already begun to play the emotional card.

"Daddy, you don't know, Little Pink Butterfly is so pitiful! She was the one who was deceived by a man, and yet everyone still scolded her," Lin Wanyue said pitifully, clinging to Lin Weiming.

"And what a wonderful little pink butterfly sister! She helped Da Guo concentrate on his studies and even offered to help him chop firewood." Lin Wanyue continued, adding her own words of encouragement!

These words indeed moved the rest of the Lin family.

Xuefu frowned slightly: "But Wanwan, I've heard your brothers talk about it. It looks quite scary. What if it suddenly appears..."

Wouldn't that be terrifying?

"No way!" Lin Wanyue quickly waved her hand and assured her, "Don't worry, Mother, Sister Little Pink Butterfly won't just appear in front of us."

"It can also help us guard the house," Lin Wanyue said, extending another olive branch.

She felt a little guilty when she said that.

After all, it was Laifu who was really in charge of looking after the house.

But now that there's a little pink butterfly, that's not wrong.

The family got together and discussed it for a while, and finally decided to agree to let Little Pink Butterfly stay with the Lin family.

Although Lin Weiming had some objections, he couldn't force Lin Wanyue to drive the ghost away, so he could only accept the fact.

The four Lin brothers really wanted to see the female ghost like Lin Wanyue and talk to it.

"No, that won't work." But unfortunately, Lin Wanyue told them, "You might see other bad things."

The four brothers: "..."

How bad could it be?

However, Lin Wanyue insisted, so the four of them had no choice but to give up. Moreover, Liu Junlan instructed them not to spread the word about the ghost in their house.

...

Lin Weiming's leg injury was severe, but after washing it with that spring water last night, the wound had already healed by more than half.

However, Lin Weiming and Xue Fu had no idea that it was because they washed their feet with the spiritual spring water. After discussing it, they concluded that it was because of the medicinal powder that Lin Wanyue had given them.

Lin Wanyue didn't say much, but every night she changed her father's foot bath water to spiritual spring water.

Sure enough, in just over half a month, Lin Weiming's leg had completely healed, and even the scar had disappeared.

Once his injuries healed, Lin Weiming started thinking about selling the tiger bones at the market.

Tiger bone is used to enhance male virility, and it has always fetched a good price.

"Huh?" Lin Wanyue asked curiously, "Then why don't you take these meat and skin with you, Father?"

The large tiger skin had been tanned and looked very soft and warm. If you had such a large fur rug in winter, it would be extremely warm.

"Of course we should keep this hide to make new clothes for Wanwan, so she won't be cold then." Lin Weiming put all the tiger bones he had collected into the basket on his back.

After all, it was a tiger; the weight of its bones alone was several dozen kilograms, making it heavy on its back.

"What about all this cured meat? We can't possibly finish it all." Lin Wanyue could understand the tiger skin, but she really couldn't understand why there was so much cured meat left over.

Tiger meat is actually not very tasty; it's gamey, fishy, ​​tough, and chewy.

At least Lin Wanyue's small teeth couldn't bite the meat. On the contrary, after it was made into cured meat and sliced ​​into thin slices, it became much easier to chew and also became more flavorful and delicious.

Liu Junlan walked over and said, "Wanwan, you're still young. No matter what, there should always be food stored at home."

Although it rained a few times today, the crops in the fields are greener than before, which makes the farmers look more hopeful.

We'll be able to harvest enough food to feed everyone in a few months.

But no one knows whether the weather will be favorable during this period. If the heavens are not pleased, they may very well continue to go hungry.

Having extra, storeable grain at home is sometimes more valuable than silver.

"Oh..." Lin Wanyue only half understood after hearing this.

Thanks to her wealthy father in her previous life, she had never experienced hunger. She only experienced hunger after coming to this world, so she really didn't have much experience with it.

But the only thing she understood was that her father was going to the market without taking her!

Not only did they not take her along, but they also didn't take her four older brothers along.

Lin Weiming's leg injury had healed, but both Xuefu and Liu Junlan were still worried that it wasn't fully healed. Carrying dozens of kilograms of tiger bones was already a heavy burden for him, and he really didn't have the extra strength to carry Lin Wanyue along.

As for his four sons, they were even easier to deal with.

"I didn't even bring my sister, do you think I'd bring you guys along to cause trouble? Stay home and behave yourselves! Otherwise, don't even think about getting any pastries or candies."
