The food and daily necessities were given directly to Liu, who was asked to keep them.
The rest are some precious medicinal materials, which she will keep herself.
"This is suitable for mother to make medicinal food."
“This is exactly what I need.”
"This can be made into a medicinal food and is suitable for everyone."
"This, this, and this..."
…
Lin Shiyu became more energetic the more she tidied.
These medicinal herbs are very common in modern times. After all, except for a few that cannot be grown, the others are grown in large quantities.
But it’s different here. Most of the herbs are wild and few are cultivated.
Just like the common Tremella fuciformis, it is extremely precious here.
"Go to bed quickly after you finish counting. Everyone is waiting for you to teach them about new herbs tomorrow. You can't keep them waiting any longer."
After calling her son, Liu called her daughter.
It's worrying if one or two people stay up all night.
"I understand. Mom, go to bed first."
Lin Shiyu didn’t feel like she was staying up late at all. In modern times, it was probably only around eight o’clock in the evening, and the nightlife hadn’t even started yet!
…
The second day.
When the cock crowed, people came to the Lin family's house one after another.
Lin Shiyu, who was used to going to bed late and getting up late, didn't hear the noisy sound outside the yard at all.
It was still Liu who heard the noise outside the door in a daze. After putting on her clothes and opening the door, she found a sea of heads outside the house.
Liu: ...
It scared me!
"Everyone, go back first. It's still dark. Can you see what the herbs look like?"
"Go, go!"
Liu, urged.
Not to mention that my daughter wakes up late. Since the family split up, no one has taken care of her. Once the door to the yard is closed, no one outside knows about it. She can sleep as late as she wants.
As long as their family has no objection and outsiders don't know, no one will gossip about them being lazy.
"An Ru, wife, don't worry about us. Go back and rest. We just want to sit here and chat."
"Yes, yes, you should go back soon. I'll chat here. We haven't had a good chat in a long time."
…
The villagers persuaded her and pushed her back to their yard.
Ever since they started purchasing herbs, they have been going out whenever they have time and really have no time to gossip.
Of course, the main reason they don’t want to leave is that they have already come here and occupied a good seat. They will have to start all over again when they go back, so forget it!
Liu was not angry when she was pushed back home, but she did not go back to sleep either.
After getting up, she was no longer sleepy. She lay back on the bed and could do nothing but stare blankly.
When she passed by her son's room, she saw that the light was on in his room and she could faintly hear the sound of reading.
Thinking about his recent behavior, she guessed that he would not become bored with school, so she smiled with relief.
It was decided that she would make breakfast today.
Since my son has made a big promise to take the imperial examination, as a mother, I can no longer let these trivial matters take up too much of his time.
inside the house.
One is fast asleep.
One is concentrating on reading.
There was another one who was awkwardly making breakfast.
outside the house.
A group of people sat on the ground, gathered in groups of three or four, chatting about family matters.
Every day when washing clothes, women and girls would chat in groups. During the time when they were busy collecting herbs, they wished they could wash their own clothes, so they had no free time to hang out together.
Men who usually meet by the fields can chat for half a day when they see each other, whether they have something to do or not. They have to squeeze out time to pick herbs during their leisure time, and now they just say hello and leave when they meet.
When the weather was hot, the time when everyone gathered under the big tree at the village entrance to mend clothes, mend shoes, weave baskets... has also changed.
…
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a regular knock on the door.
Lin Shiyu quickened her eating speed and began her teaching activities.
The herbs she wanted to teach everyone were the ones she, Tian Ge'er, and Lin Shiyi had been looking for around the village some time ago.
However, the ones she had found before had become dry, and what she showed the villagers now were fresh.
Lin Shiyi picked them again yesterday.
The villagers studied very seriously, fearing that they would make a mistake and suffer huge losses later.
After all the villagers confirmed their identities, a day had passed.
Starting from the second day, she began to receive herbs from the villagers at home one after another.
Especially those that were acquired before, the number is astonishing.
Although word was spread at that time that the harvest would no longer be collected, the villagers who were already used to picking the fruits subconsciously remembered the location when they saw it, and would pick the fruits and send them over as soon as the news came out.
Look, that’s a considerable number!
“Boom boom boom!”
When Lin Shiyu and Liu were busy, the door of the Lin family was knocked again.
The visitors were Old Lady Lin and Lin Shiyi.
Lin Shiyi?
The three of them were quite surprised by her arrival.
Because of the Lin Shijie incident, their third branch had no contact with the second branch for a long time.
They lived far away from each other, and unless it was intentional, there was no chance for the two families to meet each other.
"Before San'er went to the county town, he told your father to ask me to help find someone to help you with the housework, so I brought her here."
Old Mrs. Lin pointed at Lin Shiyi.
Facing the gazes of the people from the third room, Lin Shiyi clutched her sleeves tightly, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Boyu, take your cousin to the kitchen to familiarize herself with it first."
Mrs. Liu asked her son to take the man away, and it was obvious that Mrs. Lin had something else to say to her.
"I know you and the second brother's family can't get over that hurdle. But I felt sorry for the child, so I brought him here for you to see. If he's suitable, you can keep him. If not, I'll take him back."
The second son's wife was paralyzed, which was no different from being dead. Or perhaps it would have been better if she had died directly, at least her children wouldn't have to worry about taking care of her.
The second child is lame, but just like the paralyzed one, he bullies the other two children in the family all day long.
Sometimes she really hoped that the rebellious son would just die. At least then, the children's grandparents could legitimately take the two children in and raise them.
Instead of helping out like we are doing now.
I can help you temporarily, but I can’t help you forever!
"What are you talking about, Mom? We're all family, so I'll help each other if I can, but..."
"Just say whatever you want to say!"
"You know the temper of that child before. I'm afraid of Shi Yi, who is from the same mother..."
It will be the same as the previous one.
Mrs. Liu didn't say what she wanted to say, but Mrs. Lin understood.
"I'm afraid too..."
Old Mrs. Lin said slowly.
They are afraid, but the child has never done anything out of line. We can't convict her just because they are afraid!
Liu didn't say anything else. She was absolutely unwilling to keep such a dangerous person around.
Mrs. Lin sighed and then said:
"Then don't let her come. But there's no one idle in the village right now, so it's hard to find someone to do the work!"
