Lin Wanwan nodded, put on the backpack, felt a little uncomfortable in her chest, and suddenly remembered to call Shen Mo.
"Shen Mo, wait a minute."
Lin Wanwan walked up quickly, took out two bags of candied dates from her bosom, and said embarrassedly: "I heard that your brother was scolded by your mother because of me again. You can bring these two bags of dates and mountain red to him for me. Mountain red helps digestion and stimulates appetite. You can eat more after meals."
"Yeah, okay."
Shen Mo's eyes darkened and he reached out to take it and put it away.
It was already dark, and Lin Wanwan could not see his face clearly. She was also worried that he would not want to do it, so she comforted him, "If you help me, I will not treat you unfairly. I will definitely save a portion of the delicious food for you in the future."
After he finished speaking, she heard him chuckle, which must have meant he was satisfied. She then strolled home in a good mood, carrying the basket on her back.
Seeing her walking away, Lin Shitou stepped forward and hugged Shen Mo, "Hey, don't you usually refuse to accept her job of bringing things to your brother? Why did you accept it today? Could it be that you want to split up with us?"
Shen Mo pushed him away and glanced at him, "No, you still have it."
Lin Shitou pestered him again and said cheerfully, "Don't be so stingy. Do you want to embezzle it? Hey, Shen Jilin, when did you play tricks on us? Do you really want Lin Wan to be your sister-in-law?"
Shen Mo pushed him away and kicked him, "Get lost."
Lin Yusheng covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "I think this Lin Wan can recognize herbs and cook food, it would be a good idea for her to be the eldest daughter-in-law of your Shen family. If not, why don't you try to get her to marry your brother?"
"Yeah, if Lin Wan had fallen in love with me, I would have asked my mother to come and carry her home!"
Lin Shitou approached Lin Huzi with a wink and said in a low voice: "Well, Lin Huzi, you have been thinking about it for a long time! When was it? How come I didn't know?"
Lin Huzi said sullenly, "Who wouldn't like Lin Wan, who's so pretty? Besides Lin Xiangqiao, she's the prettiest in our village, but I don't like Lin Xiangqiao's personality. Lin Wan has been able to play with us since she was a child. It would be great if I could marry her and still be able to play with her!"
Lin Yusheng laughed so hard that he couldn't help laughing at him: "Huzi, you are a blockhead. Who would marry a wife home to play with you? Oh, I'm dying of laughter, hahahaha..."
Lin Huzi's face flushed with embarrassment, and he raised his head and said, "Humph, I can't bear to let her go to the fields to work. If she doesn't follow me, does she have to stay at home and work every day?"
Lin Shitou couldn't help laughing, "I never knew that Huzi is such a loving wife!"
"snort!"
Lin Yusheng suddenly stopped laughing and said to Shen Mo seriously, "Although Shen Li is your elder brother, you still have to compete fairly. Lin Wan likes him, but he has only looked back for her twice in total. If one day Lin Wan doesn't like your brother anymore, we still have a great chance."
Lin Shitou nodded in agreement, "That's right. Besides, your brother may not like Lin Wan. Shen Mo, you have to think it over carefully."
Shen Mo squeezed the two bags of candied dates tightly and said in a deep voice, "I'll find out what my brother thinks later."
"Hey, this is what a good brother is!"
Shen Mo returned home, put down the basket, and happened to meet Sun Zhenzhu walking out of the house.
"mother."
Sun Zhenzhu walked to the empty basket, took a look, frowned and shouted loudly: "You didn't catch anything, and you run to that broken back mountain every day! You might as well read more books if you have the time! Look at your brother, he passed the exam for scholar at the age of fifteen, and look at you, you are already fifteen, but you didn't pass the exam for scholar, and you go out to catch those broken things every day, but you catch them just for me to see! I think you might as well go and find a job earlier. It's already difficult for our family to support your brother, and you are not good at studying. I heard that the rich families in the county are looking for live-in sons-in-law for their daughters. If you really can't do it, you can go to their house and get a lot of money..."
"mother!"
At this time, Shen Li came out of the house with a bad look on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't say anything, mother! It's common to fail the exam. Ah Mo studies so well every day, he will definitely pass next time. Don't say any more nonsense! I usually copy books to supplement the family income, mother, why do you want Ah Mo to drop out of school and work?"
Sun Zhenzhu immediately lost her temper and said with a guilty conscience, "Well, I was just trying to scare him because I was afraid he wouldn't study hard. If he had studied at home honestly, would I have scolded him?"
"Didn't Ah Mo catch a wild rabbit on the day off a few days ago? You stewed the rabbit that night. You must have caught pheasants and rabbits to improve the food. How could you forget it, mother?"
"I, I haven't tasted meat for several days, so I'm a little greedy. Okay, okay, mother was wrong. Mo'er, go wash your hands quickly. We'll eat soon."
After saying that, he ran back into the house and was no longer aggressive towards Shen Mo.
Shen Mo walked up to Shen Li and said, "Thank you, big brother."
"We two brothers don't have to be polite. Have you fallen behind in your studies recently?"
Shen Mo shook his head. "Although I go to the mountains to hunt wild animals, I will study hard in my spare time."
"That's good. Don't miss a day. You will definitely win next year. Don't worry."
"Okay, I'll study hard."
Shen Li nodded and turned back to the house.
“Brother! You…”
"Hmm?" Shen Li turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uh... Brother, don't you wash your hands?"
"I just washed it, you should go wash it quickly, we will have dinner soon."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Shen Mo looked at his back, his mind in a mess.
As soon as Lin Wanwan got home, Li Yuying ran over after hearing the sound.
"Wanwan, Uncle Youcai's ox cart has been occupied by someone tomorrow morning. What should we do?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know everything. It was Shitou and his gang who hired this. I just happened to run into them in the mountains. They are going to the county town to sell things tomorrow, so I asked them. Originally there were four of them, but when they heard that sister-in-law and I wanted to go, they replaced the other two. Lin Huzi will come to call us tomorrow morning."
