Chapter 284 Every family has its own difficulties



That's because everyone's idle!

Don't even mention that there's nothing in the fields now. Even on normal days, when the fields were full of crops, there was no work to do on rainy days. It was all mountainous land, so there was no need to drain the water. Rainy days were incredibly quiet.

"Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!"

The old man would only agree; as for whether it would trouble the three brothers, only they themselves would know.

However, Yue Jiuyue's attitude was clearly not one of disdain; in fact, she even had a genuine smile on her face, which made the elderly people feel much more at ease.

They are old and their hands and feet are not very nimble. They are afraid of causing trouble for others, so they moved into a few old houses at the west end of the village where no one lives, so as to stay away from the villagers and not have to bother them.

Unexpectedly, because of a rainstorm, they couldn't live in their own home anymore and had to move into someone else's house, which turned out to be the home of a well-known widow in the village.

Lin Yueshi, even those of us who don't usually interact with the villagers know about her. Ten years ago, her husband died, and she was kicked out by her in-laws. But she raised four sons on her own and even found a wife for her eldest son. Everyone in the village knows this, including us old folks.

In the village, these things are nothing unusual. There are unfortunate people everywhere, and every family has its own difficulties. It's just that Lin Yue's situation is a bit more difficult. What's the big deal? These old folks don't even have any descendants, but they still live their lives as usual.

The most famous one, of course, is that Lin Yueshi received a reward from the emperor!

Some say the emperor rewarded Lin Yue with 500 taels of gold, while others say it was 500 taels of silver. In any case, Lin Yue became rich overnight!

Five hundred taels! That's five hundred taels!

Even if it wasn't gold but silver, how many of them could earn that much silver in a lifetime?

Even if the whole village pooled their money, they probably couldn't raise a hundred taels of silver.

It was this five hundred taels of silver, a reward from the emperor, that suddenly distinguished Lin Yueshi from the other families in the village.

It wasn't about the amount of money; it was probably because the other party had a title before the emperor, meaning they were no longer from the same world.

However, although Lin Yueshi suddenly became rich, she did not look down on them because of it, which put the hearts of the elderly people who were already uneasy at ease.

Although it's not as comfortable as living in their own home, the fact that they weren't looked down upon is already very, very good!

After stating her position, Yue Jiuyue returned to her room.

In heavy rain, where else can you go besides staying indoors?

Before, when she lived alone in a room, she could do needlework to pass the time and earn money from it.

Now, all I can do is stare blankly at myself.

As for Xiaoman'er, there's not much to do with her being her grandmother. She usually goes to play at the house of the three Lin brothers across the street. You can hear her innocent and cheerful laughter from time to time, which adds a touch of joy to this irritating rainy weather.

"Mom, will those grandpas and grandmas be living with us from now on? I just looked at them and they don't seem to have much stuff. They don't even have half a bag of grain in total. Will we have to support them from now on?"

While eating a pancake made from a mixture of sweet potato and wheat flour, Liu asked with concern.

Although she needs to rest and preferably lie down, she can't lie down for all twelve hours of the day, or she would become useless.
