Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang became completely obedient after being severely beaten. Lin Xiaoman glared at them and immediately became as timid as a quail.
Every day, the two of them would go to Wang Cuifen to receive the day's work as if they had received a task, and then work honestly, fearing that they would not do enough and be diagnosed with "rheumatoid arthritis" again.
Mu Xiaoxiao started school, and Lin Xiaoman gave her money directly to pay for her meals so that she could eat at school at noon.
The temperature is high now, so it's okay to eat cold rice at noon, but it's not good for your stomach if you eat cold rice later when it gets cold. Besides, of course, the food in the school cafeteria is more nutritious.
In September, there was not much work to do at home, so Wang Cuifen ordered Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang to cultivate all the usable land in their family and grow various vegetables.
With more vegetables and more money to sell, Lan Yachun was full of energy and went to the town to sell vegetables with Lin Xiaoman. Lin Xiaoman would always go to Aunt Xiao's place to buy some tofu, chat for a few minutes, get to know each other, and they became familiar with each other.
Then, Lan Yachun and Lin Xiaoman no longer rented the temporary stall, but moved to Aunt Xiao's yard. They didn't have to pay, just send some of their own vegetables.
When they are free on weekdays, Lin Xiaoman and Wang Cuifen work together to pickle vegetables and pretend that they are doing research. In the process of practice, they rationally transfer the relevant knowledge in their minds.
In a blink of an eye, the hot summer passed and the cool autumn arrived.
In the golden autumn season, the earth is full of harvest.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to harvest rice, and every household was busy.
The rice is harvested, tied into bundles, carried back in loads, dried to dry, threshed, blown with air, and packed into bags... Everywhere is golden, with straw scraps flying everywhere, and the busyness of the harvest is everywhere!
During the National Day holiday, Mu Xiaoxiao was responsible for taking care of Mu Xiaole and cooking. The five people in the family, including Lin Xiaoman, all went to work in the fields.
There is strength in numbers, and because they were afraid of being beaten by Lin Xiaoman, the two grown men, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang, did not dare to be lazy at all. Therefore, their family was definitely the first to complete the sought-after task, finishing ahead of schedule.
After leaving enough food for his family for a year, Mu Weimin borrowed an ox cart from the village. The two men carried bags of millet on the cart and drove it to the grain purchasing station in the town to sell the grain.
Since it was a matter of money, Lin Xiaoman naturally went along.
Farming is definitely the biggest source of income for farmers. The money from selling grain totaled 528 yuan. Lin Xiaoman happily accepted the money, while Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang could only look on with envy.
It is absolutely impossible to share the money with them. These two scumbags cannot have money!
However, considering that the two have been well behaved recently, it is still okay to treat them to some meat.
Lin Xiaoman generously bought a few big meat buns for the two of them, and then went to the market to buy meat and fish, preparing to go home and make a good meal to celebrate.
After returning to the village, Lin Xiaoman sent the two men to the fields to pick up rice ears. He called Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun and held a family meeting.
Lin Xiaoman told the two of them about her plan. Her plan was to make up the remaining 400 yuan of betrothal money to the Lin family. Of course, not all at once. She would give 100 yuan this time, as if it were a debt, and pay it back slowly.
The original owner's request was to return the 800 yuan betrothal gift left by Mu Weimin to the Lin family. Mu Weimin had only given 400 yuan before, and Lin Xiaoman did not forget the remaining 400 yuan. This was the original owner's mandatory requirement and must be completed.
Wang Cuifen was not happy about it and criticized Lin Xiaoman a few times. What she said was nothing more than "You didn't get a penny, but ended up getting married for the second time. You are so stupid."
Wang Cuifen thought that since they had already returned the 400 yuan betrothal gift, they were already very sincere. However, seeing Lin Xiaoman's persistence and thinking about the Lin family's five children and how difficult life was, Wang Cuifen finally softened her heart and agreed.
Lan Yachun felt sorry for the money, but she also knew that without her sister-in-law Lin Xiaoman, she would not get a penny, so she didn't say anything since Wang Cuifen agreed. At least she was happy to get a share of the money.
In the end, Lin Xiaoman gave Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun 100 yuan each, and then gave Mu Xiaoxiao 20 yuan pocket money. The remaining nearly 300 yuan was managed by her.
The family had a sumptuous meal in the evening, with fish and meat.
After the rice is harvested, the fields will be plowed by tractors in due time. The rapeseed seeds have already been sown in the fields, so there is a period of free time before planting the rapeseed.
The next day, Lin Xiaoman took Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang, and the three of them walked to Xiaolin Village early in the morning.
In Xiaolin Village, at Lin Dahai's home, the family was incredibly busy during the autumn harvest season. After Lin Xiaoman returned home, Jiang Fengzhen sold her television, and with the 400 yuan Mu Weimin gave her, the Lin family wasn't short of money, but they were short of people, short of labor!
I can get by on weekdays, but when it comes to big events like the autumn harvest, I'm really busy and exhausted.
Jiang Fengzhen had weak waist and legs, and she collapsed from exhaustion after bending over to cut rice for half a day. Lin Yue, Lin Xi, and Lin Shan, who was now Lin Xiaoman's age, all went to the fields to cut rice, but they were all children after all, so their efficiency was slow.
Lin Dahai had to cut rice, carry loads, and thresh grain all by himself... Even if he worked with the lights on at night, his progress was far behind the average progress of the village.
By then, every household was busy with their own fields, with no relatives to lend a hand. The sky was turning overcast, and fearing rain in two days, the Lin family was terrified. Lin Dahai toiled silently, while Jiang Fengzhen cried secretly at night. The children stayed home after the holiday to help with the work, helping wherever they could, harvesting as much as they could.
