Lu Lin figured the two brothers must know something, but since they didn't say anything, he didn't press them for an answer.
In addition to digging yams, Lu Lin also took on some firewood chopping work every day.
Here, we rely heavily on firewood for heating in winter. Winter is coming soon, so we should stock up on as much as possible.
Lu Lin is, after all, an adult. Although he has a different soul and is a bit clumsy at work, he is still an adult and much more capable than a child. However, compared to Chen Xiaomi, he is no match.
When Lu Lin saw Chen Xiaomi dragging several thick tree branches back from the mountain and wielding a rusty machete, chopping the firewood into pieces with a whooshing sound, Lu Lin's awe for this Shuang'er rose again. Chen Xiaomi looked like an ordinary high school student, but her strength was truly terrifying.
The three Chen brothers were hoping that Lu Lin would help them with some of the work, but little did they know that the Lu family also had their eyes on Lu Lin.
Right now, it's harvest time. The Lu family originally planned to send Lu Lin to Chen Xiaomi's place after the harvest was over, but Lu Lin had a mental breakdown and jumped into the lake, leaving him sickly.
The Lu family didn't want to pay for Lu Lin's medical treatment, nor did they want him to die at home, so they sent Lu Lin, this plague, away early.
The eldest son of the Lu family had a grandson who was studying, and he felt that he had made a great contribution, so he didn't pay much attention to the work in the fields.
Besides a grandson who is studying, the eldest son of the Lu family also has a daughter named Lu Tong. Because she is convinced that her brother will become a high-ranking official in the future, she will also marry into a wealthy family and become a rich lady. Although Lu Tong is a peasant girl, she is raised like a young lady and never works in the fields.
The third daughter, Lu Lan, is already married. Lu Lan is quite favored by the old lady. Usually, she comes to the Lu family to freeload. Now that the autumn harvest is here, she naturally wants to stay as far away as possible.
The fourth son of the Lu family was the youngest son of the old lady Lu, and the old lady Lu doted on him. The old master Lu used his connections to find him a job in the city, which brought in two taels of silver a month. The fourth son of the Lu family did not like farm work, so he simply hid in the city and did not come back.
The autumn harvest waits for no one. Seeing that no one was doing the work in the fields, the old man of the Lu family forced his wife, son, and granddaughter to go to the fields with him.
Working in the fields is not easy. As soon as the eldest son of the Lu family got to work in the fields, he complained endlessly, saying that his back ached all day long.
Lu Tong's body was covered in red and swollen from insect bites, and she couldn't help but miss the good old days when Lu Lin's family was around.
The Lu family members all liked to shirk their duties and cheat when doing chores.
Several people working together can't compare to the work of one or two people in other households.
The old man of the Lu family was furious. At this moment, Lu Tong suggested calling Lu Lin back, since Chen Xiaomi didn't have any land and didn't need to rush to harvest the autumn harvest.
Lu Lin is so useful! He was willing to work overtime at night before.
Lu Lin was sick and was sent to Chen Xiaomi's place. Chen Xiaomi didn't call a doctor. Many people in the village felt sorry for Lu Lin and thought he probably wouldn't make it. Unexpectedly, Lu Lin recovered and even went into the mountains with Chen Xiaomi.
Although Chen Xiaomi's house was somewhat remote, there were still people who could see Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin.
When Lu Tong heard that Lu Lin was alive and well without a doctor and had even gone into the mountains with Chen Xiaomi, she immediately felt cheated.
I should have kept Lu Lin a few more days; at least he could have done some work.
At this time of year, everyone is busy with the autumn harvest. Hiring a skilled farmhand costs at least thirty coins a day, plus two meals.
"Should we call Ah Lin back?" Old Master Lu asked, smoking a cigarette and secretly considering whether it was possible.
When Chen Xiaomi offered ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, she said that once the woman married into the family, she would have no further connection with her own family. Chen Xiaomi's ten taels of silver was essentially a way of severing Lu Lin's ties with the Lu family.
“Yes, let’s invite him back. It doesn’t make sense for the whole family to be busy working in the fields while he’s out enjoying himself.” Without much thought, Mrs. Wang agreed to her granddaughter Lu Tong’s suggestion.
The old man glanced at Wang Shi and said, "Ah Lin, after all, he married into the family."
Wang disagreed, saying resentfully, "He's always been from my Lu family. My Lu family has raised him for so many years. What's wrong with asking him to come back and do some work? I'd like to see if he dares to refuse."
The old man frowned and said, "Who will go to invite them?"
Chen Xiaomi was notorious for her fierceness, and Wang Shi was a ruthless woman, but she was only a bully within her own household.
Although she cursed Lu Lin fiercely, Wang Shi did not dare to ask Chen Xiaomi for his return.
Although Grandpa Lu hoped that Lu Lin would come back to work, he didn't want to face Chen Xiaomi, that nemesis, so he pushed the matter to Lu Tong, who had made the suggestion.
Lu Tong didn't want to work, but she was willing to go and ask Lu Lin to come back. Going to Lu Lin would at least allow her to slack off for a while.
