Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Since we are breaking off relations, then my sister’s marriage...
It was agreed that as long as you find more than ten mushroom nests, you can sign in once, so you can go and take a look when you have free time.
Pei Ying stayed at home to make a shelf.
Lin Chuntao took the three of them to wander around in the mountains for more than half an hour. They picked up a lot of mushrooms, but only found one mushroom nest with more than ten mushrooms, which was a purple-skinned blue-headed mushroom nest. They picked up fourteen mushrooms and completed a check-in.
They went over the hill and reached the sandy area behind it.
Lin Chuntao thought of her childhood when she was digging the soil on the sandy ridges to look for ground rollers, a spherical or oblate wild mushroom, also known as horse skin bubble, which tastes good when grilled or stir-fried. She would find a whole nest of these mushrooms, at least a dozen or twenty in number.
Lin Chuntao thought about it and broke off some branches for her sisters, and took them to search carefully on the sandy stalks on the mountainside.
After bending over and digging two ridges without finding it, Lin Duoer gradually lost her patience.
"Sister, there's definitely nothing in this area. Let's continue looking in the mountains."
Some miscellaneous mushrooms can still be picked up in the mountains, but Lin Chuntao’s main purpose now is to sign in, so she has to continue looking.
She looked at Lin Chunxing and said, "Chunxing, take the sisters to pick some camellias. I'll look for them for a while."
Chun Xing turned around and looked at the third child, Lin Chunhe, "Third child, take Duo'er with you. I'll look for her with my sister."
Lin Chunhe reluctantly took Lin Duoer away.
Lin Chuntao pursed her lips and wanted to laugh.
She has no brothers or sisters, but she has heard a saying that when there are many brothers and sisters, the eldest brother orders the second brother, the second brother orders the third brother, and the third brother stomps his feet while doing things.
Lin Chuntao looked at Lin Chunhe who had already walked away, and decided to hold a small family meeting together when they were free in the next few days.
She was thinking, but her hands did not stop moving. She saw the branch scrape down, and a round object like a stone rolled down from the ridge. She hurriedly chased after it and picked it up.
"Chun Xing, come here quickly, I found it."
"How many are there?" Lin Chunxing asked as they ran. Lin Chuntao looked at the sand that was pushed up beside them and replied, "There should be more than ten. Come and dig over there."
At the edge of the ridge, as soon as the oval-shaped horsehide bubble was dug open, it rolled down.
Many of them rolled down, and Lin Chunxing ran to pick up all those that rolled to the ground below. Later, Lin Chuntao dug with one hand and caught them with the other hand. After a nest of rollers was dug out, there were about eighteen or nineteen of them, she quickly summoned the system to sign in.
After completing another sign-in, Lin Chuntao was in a good mood.
I estimate that we can complete the sign-in and open the server tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Lin Chunxing came back from picking mushrooms and saw that Lin Chuntao was in such a good mood, she was a little confused.
Over the years, Lin Chuntao has been taking care of them and has been frowning every day.
Like this time, she brought back a husband without telling her grandparents and father, and then asked her to pretend to be sick to deceive others, and directly cut off ties with her family. She would never have dared to think about all these things in the past, but now she has done them.
Moreover, after jumping into the lake, Lin Chuntao's face no longer showed the previous sadness. She seemed to be not worried about anything, not afraid that they would have no place to live or no food to eat.
She didn't know whether Lin Chuntao was no longer worried because she made some money from selling mushrooms or if it was for some other reason.
But picking mushrooms and selling them is only temporary. After autumn, the mushrooms will be gone, and they will not have a single grain of food this year.
Lin Chuntao was no longer worried, but she was still worried. She couldn't stop worrying just thinking about it.
"Sister, are you going to carry these rollers to sell tomorrow morning?"
Lin Chuntao shook her head and said, "No, we're not selling them. We're keeping the ones we picked up during the day for ourselves. If we leave them overnight, they won't be fresh anymore. We'll carry the ones we picked up in the morning and sell them."
Lin Chunxing pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time.
Lin Chuntao didn't hear the voice and looked up at her, seeing that she looked sad.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Chunxing looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sister, can we store enough food for the winter by picking mushrooms and selling them this year?"
It's only May, and it's still early for winter to come. Is Lin Chunxing worried that there will be no food to survive the winter this year?
She shook her head. "I don't think we can stockpile enough by picking mushrooms and selling them. I plan to save some money to buy some buckwheat seeds. Although we can't grow rice anymore, we can still grow buckwheat. I'll also plow two plots of land in a few days, and we can plant some vegetables now. This way we can save money on buying vegetables. Don't worry, we will definitely have food to get through the winter this year."
Lin Chunxing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"We are not like before. Sister, if you have any plans, you can tell me and we can share them together."
Lin Chuntao looked at Lin Chunxing in front of her. The sisters looked quite similar. The fourteen-year-old Lin Chunxing was almost as tall as her, but she was thin, as skinny as a bamboo pole.
Hearing her say this, Lin Chuntao felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll tell you if I have anything next time."
Lin Chunxing looked at her quietly, and the two sisters smiled at each other.
But what she just said to Lin Chunxing was just to calm Lin Chunxing's heart temporarily. She had to wait for two days to see if this broken system could get her some seeds. She remembered that some varieties had a short growth and development period and could still mature normally if planted late. It would be even better if she could plant crops now.
In the setting sun, Lin Chunhe and Lin Duoer each picked a bunch of camellia flowers.
Lin Chuntao likes camellia very much, as the same plant can bloom in multiple colors.
The buds are pink with a reddish tint, the flower buds are faintly pink and white, and the blooming flowers are white with pink, which is pleasing no matter how you look at them.
The two sisters each picked a few branches of flowers, including buds, buds and those that have already bloomed.
Lin Chuntao pulled some vine leaves from the side and twisted them to tie up their two bouquets of flowers so that they were easier to carry.
Holding their favorite flowers, carrying mushrooms and firewood, the sisters hummed little songs and walked slowly towards home.
As soon as the sisters came around the back mountain, they met people from the village.
"Hey, Chuntao, you guys are here! Your uncle and his family are here and are arguing with your grandma and her family. Go back and take a look."
Lin Chuntao's expression changed slightly. She didn't have time to ask any more questions. After thanking them, she quickly went back with her sisters.

At this time, the Lin family yard was crowded with people inside and outside.
The Xu family's group of people were either holding hoes or sickles, and two of them were even holding sticks. They came in with a fierce momentum, and it was obvious that they were going to fight.
When the villagers saw this scene, they all ran back with their farm tools and backpacks to watch the fun.
The people who came were Lin Chuntao's uncles, cousins, and two old people.
Faced with the aggressive Xu family, Lin Changhe's eyes turned dark.
Since Xu Xiu passed away, they rarely visited the Xu family. Lin Chuntao and the others would go there in the first two years after Xu Xiu passed away, but later the old lady asked them to work and not let them go, so the sisters rarely went to their uncle's house anymore.
He hasn't been around much in the past few years, but now he suddenly comes. And from his appearance, it's obvious that something bad is going to happen.
Tian thought that it was Lin Chuntao and the others who went to complain, and she was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she cursed Lin Chuntao in her heart.
Lin Changhe looked at them and looked at Xu's uncle with a forced smile.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Xu Tianlin had a square face, was tall, and was quite serious. At this moment, he looked at Lin Changhe coldly, which was quite intimidating.
"I heard you remarried. Why didn't you send a message and ask everyone to come over for a drink? Although my sister is gone, my nieces are still here. We are the children's uncles, and that will never change, right?"
My uncle's tone was very calm, but his voice was low, and his calm words made people feel that he was accusing me.
Lin Changhe was so embarrassed that he was speechless. Qian Shi just put on a smile and was about to join in, but his uncle didn't give her a chance to speak. He directly asked Lin Changhe: "Where are Chuntao and the others? Why is no one here?"
There were many people present, and Lin Changhe was too embarrassed to say that they had driven Lin Chuntao out. He couldn't bring himself to lie because he was being watched by the villagers.
Seeing Lin Changhe's flushed face, Xu Tianlin asked in a deep voice, "Lin Changhe, can you do it but not say it?"
"Brother, are you here to call me to task? That damned girl Chuntao disobeyed the elders and made her own marriage decision without informing us. She insisted on taking her sisters with her to live abroad. Now that the children have grown up and become independent, what can I, as a father, do?"
When my aunt-in-law Sun heard this, she sneered.
"That sounds nice, but I'd like to ask, was it a separation or was it driven out?"
Lin Changhe remained silent. Qian, holding her waist and holding her slightly bulging belly, stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, Changhe is telling the truth. You can't disbelieve me. No one kicked the child out. It was Chuntao who asked the village chief to come and sign the severance agreement, insisting on severing ties with our family."
As soon as Qian finished speaking, she saw Lin Cunzheng squeezing in from the crowd at the door.
Looking at the people in the yard, there were more than twenty people from the Xu family. If the two families fought, they would be beaten to a bloody pulp. He hurried back from the field and met the person sent by Xu Tianlin to invite him.
The young man looked at him and said that they just wanted justice for the child and would not resort to violence rashly. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
As soon as I entered the yard and heard Qian's shameless words, my heart sank.
Since the child's uncle came to ask for justice, he must find out the whole story.
Talking nonsense in front of the Xu family, isn't that just getting angry?
The two old men who came with the Xu family knew Lin Cunzheng and the others. They stood and chatted about family matters before getting to the point.
The old man spoke very tactfully. When he heard that several nephews were coming to visit his niece, they came together.
Lin Cunzheng looked at Xu Tianlin and said, "Tianlin, Chuntao and the others have gone out to live alone. They are now living in my old house and are not here."
"Uncle Lin, to be honest, I heard that Chuntao and the other girls were kicked out, so I came here to see you. I don't know if it's just hearsay or the truth."
Lin Cunzheng was speechless. Even if he didn't do such a thing as driving out a few little girls and severing ties with them, it must have been done by his clansmen. It was shameful.
Xu Tianlin naturally wouldn't let Lin Cunzheng answer such a question. He continued, "My sister passed away early, leaving Chuntao and the others in dire straits. If the children grow up and start their own families, and live separately from the elders, I have no objections. But if they are kicked out, we will also need to settle the score. I heard that Chuntao asked you to be a witness."
Lin Cunzheng nodded slightly.
"I was the witness, and the sisters severed their ties with them and established new households."
After hearing Lin Cunzheng's words, Xu Tianlin looked at Lin Changhe. His face was gloomy and his eyes were cold and heartless.
"Lin Changhe, since we've severed ties, I'd like to ask, did the children take my sister's dowry away?"
