Not to mention their Yamada Village, there are few idle people even in the nearby villages.
They stressed that the purchase of herbs must be kept confidential, but the news could not be kept secret.
After such a long time, everyone who is interested knows everything they should know.
As long as you go out for a walk in your free time, you can earn money. Who would sit idle?
Mrs. Lin thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I'll let her work at the old house, and I'll take over the chores at your house. You can find someone to replace me and go back home later. How about that?"
It's just some housework anyway, it doesn't matter where you do it.
"Of course it would be best if you could come and help, Mom!" Mrs. Liu expressed her warm welcome.
Having lived with my mother-in-law for more than ten years, Mrs. Lin has a bad temper, but she is very good at doing things, cleanly and efficiently.
"I don't work for nothing." Old Mrs. Lin added, "Your family will provide my daily meals. In addition, you must pay me twenty wen a month as labor fee."
The old lady didn't take this money for herself.
Or it was for the child I just brought.
From now on, I will give her the monthly wages and ask her to save them well and use them as her dowry.
With parents like this, it’s hard to marry into a good family!
I hope to have some money so that my life will be better in the future.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed in detail the content of the work that needed to be done, and then Mrs. Lin took her people back.
…
"I just talked to your aunt. There are too many things to do in her family. I think you are still young and can't handle it."
On the way home, Mrs. Lin, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke up to explain.
"Nana, I can do it."
Lin Shiyi's voice was very low, but she looked at Old Lady Lin with a firm gaze.
Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shiyi's beautiful eyes, which looked very much like her second daughter-in-law's. She was distracted for a moment and did not respond to her words in time.
Lin Shiyi didn't get a response. She tugged at Mrs. Lin's sleeve with her little hand and answered firmly again, "I really can."
It is possible but not impossible.
Having been observant of people's expressions since childhood, she knows her current situation.
The only normal people in the family are her and her younger brother. Her younger brother is a boy. No matter how difficult the family is or how violent Lin Anxiang is, as the only boy in the family, his situation will not be too bad.
But she is different.
She is what everyone often calls a "money-losing girl". Her family status is already low, and she has a mother who got pregnant out of wedlock and a cruel and ruthless elder sister.
Even though she didn't do anything, normal people would stay away from her because of these reasons.
Perhaps these things will fade away with the passage of time, but they will always be remembered at critical moments.
For example - discussing marriage.
Would a normal family dare to want her?
Even if I really dare to want her, will I look down on her because of these things?
Or when they are getting along well with each other, they bring it up when there is a dispute.
Will he divorce her because of these things, leaving her alone in her next life?
…
What other girls of her age think about most is whether they can eat more food today.
When her eldest sister was still alive, what she thought about most was when she could grow up, get married and escape from this home.
"grandmother……"
This was the only time she mustered up the courage to express her desire, but with no response, her courage faded.
"You can't!"
Old Mrs. Lin spoke very firmly.
The third daughter-in-law didn't dare to accept her, and she was not at ease to send her to the third room.
After many years, San'er finally had the opportunity to work hard and the third room had a chance to make a name for itself. She would not allow any unstable factors to happen to San'er.
At least she is not allowed to let it go on her own.
Lin Shiyi lowered her head, even lower than usual.
Looking at her granddaughter who remained silent, Old Lady Lin sighed, "You really can't do it."
"I understand, grandma."
"Be good." Old Mrs. Lin patted her head. "You can't do it, but your grandma can. So I discussed it with your third aunt. I will go to your third aunt's house to do the work, and you come to your grandparents' house to do the work.
When the time comes, I’ll give you half of the wages I earn.”
It was originally agreed that all of it would be given to her, but considering the child's age, Mrs. Lin decided to give her only half and keep the remaining half.
"Nana, really?"
"real!"
"That's great, that's great!"
It was the first time that Lin Shiyi felt so happy, and it was also the first time that Mrs. Lin, her family member, saw her smile.
There was only one thought in my mind - it was so beautiful.
I don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse for her.
"Work hard at grandpa and grandma's house, don't be lazy, if you do a good job, grandma will give you wages when the time comes."
"Got it, grandma."
…
"Your grandma will come over tomorrow to take over your job, so you can focus on your studies."
"Very good."
Lin Boyu shouted with joy.
Do you know how painful it is for him, a man who is determined to take the imperial examination, to be busy cooking and cleaning every day?
"Isn't my cousin here to help?"
Lin Shiyu didn't listen to the conversation between Mrs. Liu and Old Mrs. Lin, and thought that Lin Shiyi was coming to help.
"No, she can't do it, so your grandma does it."
Mrs. Liu did not tell the real reason, and made up the same explanation as Mrs. Lin.
"Oh, okay!"
Lin Shiyu had no requirements on who came over. Anyway, they came over to do chores and it wouldn't be of much help to her.
"I'll come out and help you when I'm tired of studying."
Seeing her indifferent expression, Lin Boyu couldn't help but speak.
