"You're killing yourself! Sit down, sit down!"
Chang Lin clumsily carried the person back and then made her sit on a chair.
Lin Anyi sat obediently, not because of her husband, but because her brother was looking at her with disapproval.
"You're not a kid anymore. You're going to be a mother soon. Don't be as playful as before." Lin Anru taught her, then added, "You should have fun and get through these few months first."
Being lively is her nature, and Lin Anru doesn't want to erase her nature.
Only those who have a hard time in life will restrain their temper.
Lin Anyi nodded obediently. She was just lying there for too long and got excited. She also hadn't adapted to the fact that she was about to become a mother, so she acted like that.
Since they were already adults, Lin Anru just gave them a few words of advice and skipped the topic.
"Third brother, this is the leftover lamp oil. We won't be taking it back. You can use it."
Before Lin Anru arrived home, Chang Lin brought the things over for fear that Lin Anru would refuse. After all, this was not the first or second time that he had refused the things he gave her.
"Why are there so many left? Did you buy all the oil mills?"
Lin Anru looked speechlessly at the large tank of lamp oil in the corner. Their family couldn't use that much just for cooking in a year, let alone lighting.
"Hehe, hehe~"
Chang Lin smiled awkwardly. At that time, he was thinking of giving some to Ayi for use at night and giving the rest to Lin Anru.
He had heard that poor families were reluctant to light oil lamps at night, so he prepared a little more.
Just a little bit really.
"I originally wanted to use it for me when I get up at night, but since I haven't been getting up at night, I haven't touched it. You can use it, Third Brother. I find it troublesome to transport it back and forth, and we don't need this little lamp oil anyway."
Lin Anyi explained and persuaded Lin Anru not to refuse.
Lin Shiyu, who was sitting on the side, looked up at her aunt and uncle. Did you know that these two people were showing off their wealth invisibly?
It seems that the Chang family's net worth is much higher than expected, but why does everyone in the Chang family wear coarse cloth clothes when they are such a good family?
Lin Shiyu was puzzled at first, but then she thought about her former neighbors during home visits, those uncles and aunties who owned several buildings. They usually dressed very casually, wearing a pair of flip-flops everywhere.
"If you don't want to take it, then put it here."
What this meant was that he accepted it. When Chang Lin heard this, all his big white teeth were exposed.
It was not easy for the third brother to finally accept his things. As for the bag of silver he gave him before, it didn't count because he forced it on him.
Lin Shiyu: His teeth are so white, he must be rich!
They chatted for a while, and then Liu and Lin Bowen prepared the meal.
"I haven't eaten meat in a long time. It's so delicious."
Why was the butcher shop so far from his home? Why was transportation so inconvenient here? Why was there only one healthy adult male in her family?
As a result, whenever he wanted to eat meat, he had to wait for her father to come back.
"Come on, come on, praise me, your uncle. Next time I come, I'll bring you some meat, the kind that'll keep you full."
Chang Lin said proudly that he liked Lin Shiyu very much.
Not only is she Lin Anru's daughter, but she also "saved" the lives of his wife and children, and the abilities she displayed herself are all likable.
"Sir, you are handsome, elegant, graceful, and dignified..."
Lin Shiyu directly recited a series of idioms, and Chang Lin's mouth never sagged as he listened.
"Look, look at how rare your husband I am!"
Lin Anyi rolled her eyes at him: "I just said it casually, how can you take it seriously?"
"Hey! What are you talking about?" Chang Lin was unhappy and turned to ask Lin Shiyu: "Sister Yu, tell your aunt loudly whether your uncle-in-law is good-looking or not."
"yes!"
"Look, look, your niece said so, so it can't be false."
He laughed so loudly, and his smug look made people want to beat him up.
…
The meal was spent in laughter and joy.
After dinner, Chang Lin and Lin Anyi said goodbye and went home. Although the journey was not far, considering Lin Anyi's health, it would be better to leave more time.
In the third room, Liu was responsible for cleaning the table and washing the dishes; Lin Anru took Lin Boyu to check how he had completed his homework when he was not at home.
As for Lin Shiyu, she was holding the small box that Lin Anru brought back, which contained cooling oil and insect repellent cream.
Lin Anru brought back a lot more boxes than the actual order, so Lin Shiyu used the remaining materials at home to make a batch of ointments and oils, and used boxes to pack ointments with other effects.
When the time comes, let Lin Anru take it to the private school to see if there is a market for it.
Most of the scholars came from wealthy families, and as long as they could find a sales channel, they could make money faster than selling the herbs directly.
Lin Anru only had two days of rest. She spent half of the first day having dinner with Chang Lin and his wife, and spent the remaining half day checking her children's homework.
So early the next morning he went to borrow an ox cart and transported the herbs stored at home to the county town.
The settlement of herbal money that was previously agreed upon with the villagers on the first and fifteenth day of each month has been changed to once a month.
"Be careful on the road."
Liu's reluctant instructions.
It was said to be a two-day rest, but in fact I stayed at home for less than a day. It was really too rushed.
"The sun is scorching, let's go back!"
Lin Anru waved her hand, and she and Lin Anji set off crying in a hurry on the ox cart.
This time, he took the herbs to the county town to sell, and then went straight back to the private school. Lin Anji took the money and drove back to Shantian Village.
…
After parting again, Liu adapted well to the situation. As soon as she stepped into the house, the feeling of reluctance disappeared.
"Mom, why don't we go live in the county town, so you can see Dad every day."
Lin Shiyu suggested that he really wanted to move to the county town, if for no other reason than the convenience of shopping there, which tempted her.
Although it is nice to live in the village, with beautiful mountains and rivers and great air, no matter how good it is, it is all in vain if there is no delicious food.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Houses in the county town are so expensive. With our family wealth, let alone buying one, we can only rent one for a few months before it's all gone."
Liu smiled and refused. Who doesn't want to be a city dweller? But being a city dweller is not that easy.
They can still farm to make ends meet in the village, but if they go to the city they don't have any skills, will the whole family starve there?
“Are houses in the city so expensive?”
Lin Shiyu, who was not familiar with the prices here, was stunned. Their family's current financial resources were not affected, but they were still quite a lot, especially the orders that Lin Anru brought back yesterday. The total amount of money in the family was almost fifty taels.
