"Dad and Mom, why don't you send some food to Grandpa and Grandma tomorrow? The less food there is at home, the less people will worry about us."
"You are indeed well-educated, and your brain is very useful." Sun touched her head in praise, and then sent her to bed.
Lin Anjifu felt that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night anyway, so he simply prepared things for his trip to Sun's parents' home the next day.
As soon as the sun rose, they planned to set off, but were persuaded by Lin Shiyi, who had gotten up early.
"We have to leave later, after everyone is up! If you don't make a big fuss and send it over, how will the villagers know that we're running low on food?"
The couple was persuaded and waited and waited until they heard many voices outside. Then one of them set off with a load on his shoulder.
When others asked them where they were going, they deliberately answered loudly that they were taking some of the grain they had received yesterday back to Sun's parents' home.
In less than half a day, all the villagers in Yamada Village knew that the food Lin Anji had just received was taken to Sun's parents' home before it could even be warmed up.
The villagers envied and were jealous of Sun's family, and behind their backs they said Lin Anji was stupid and that Sun didn't care about her family...
On the surface, she was saying bad things about the two of them, but in her heart she was thinking about having such a daughter who didn't care about her family and such a silly son-in-law.
......
"No, go, go, go."
Lin Anxiang slammed the door shut with all his might, showing a strong desire to refuse.
Ever since Lin Anji distributed half of the grain, the villagers who wanted to take advantage of the situation have set their sights on other members of the Lin family.
Old Mrs. Lin followed suit and transported the grain to her parents' home with great fanfare.
When Uncle Lin saw her carrying grain, he scolded her and refused to accept it, asking her to take it back.
Old Mrs. Lin told him about the situation in the village, but Uncle Lin still didn't accept it. He just said he would keep it for her and she could come and get it when she needed it.
After Mrs. Lin left, Uncle Lin's son came over and asked:
"Dad, if you don't want to take the food from my aunt for free, can't we just pay for it?"
Their land was completely destroyed, and they didn't have much food at home. But compared to other families, at least they still had some money.
Uncle Lin's sons all work outside when they have free time. They don't earn much throughout the year, but at least they have some savings, not to mention that the youngest son started selling rice rolls last year, so he earns even more.
This income is not enough to make people rich, but it is much higher than that of ordinary people.
"Don't even think about taking advantage of your aunt's family." Uncle Lin scolded his sons, "Grain prices are rising too fast right now. Even if your aunt is willing to sell to us, she will definitely sell it at the usual price. Don't take advantage of us."
If it was based on the market price, Mrs. Lin would not have accepted the money because they are relatives, not customers.
After thinking for a while, Uncle Lin instructed:
"Tell Xiaoyao to stop setting up the stall and take the stored food back home."
Whether selling rice rolls or porridge, rice is needed, so his son has a batch of grain.
Thinking of their younger brother's booming business, Uncle Lin's sons wanted to persuade Uncle Lin, but their father was too prestigious, so no one spoke in the end.
As soon as the two elders delivered the food, the number of people who wanted to borrow food or buy food at a low price really decreased by more than half. Even if there were still people coming, the two elders would send them away by saying that the remaining food was not enough for their own family to eat.
Therefore, outsiders now have to turn their attention to the second and third branches of the Lin family.
One just had a huge fight with her natal family, and the other doesn't have any natal family. We can't just give away the food anymore, right?!
Hey!
Lin Anxiang really didn't want to share the food with Zhang's family.
He might as well feed the dogs to the Zhang family instead of giving it to them.
But it was not a good idea for those people to come to the door to block him every day, so he made up his mind and left some food enough for the father and son, and on a good day, he took the rest of the food to the market to sell.
Now the people have not reached the point where they have nothing to eat, so it stands to reason that even if the price of food rises, it will not be too exaggerated.
But in fact, the price of grain has doubled, which has resulted in a large number of people selling grain in the market.
"There's something fishy going on."
Seeing this phenomenon, Lin Anxiang felt something was wrong. He originally planned to sell all the grain he had taken out, but in the end he left half of it unsold.
He waited until the market was over before he slowly walked home, and did not return home until it was dark.
He didn't want the villagers to know that he had taken the grain back home, otherwise a lot of people would come to bother him again.
......
"As a woman, I can't decide this matter. Let's wait until my man comes back!"
Liu sent the person out with a smile.
As soon as the door closed, her face fell.
"What kind of people are these? They want to take food without giving anything." She complained to Lin Shiyu.
"Shameless people who have no self-awareness, don't bother with them, we don't owe them anything."
Lin Boyu agreed with his sister very much: "Yes, yes, yes, Mom, please close the door. We won't close the door until Dad comes back."
Liu smiled and nodded.
If it weren't for her husband's reputation, she would have lost her temper long ago.
"Closed. No visitors."
If the door is not closed, she will almost lose her temper.
......
For several days in a row, there were knocks on the door outside the courtyard, but Liu, her mother, and her two children locked themselves in the room and ignored them.
Perhaps the people outside realized that they could not borrow any food, so the annoying knocking on the door slowly stopped.
"The vegetables in the yard have already grown. Come over and help pull out the weeds."
Being locked up at home with nothing to do was too painful. Liu thought her children were as bored as she was.
So when I saw the vegetables growing in the field, I wanted to find something for these two people to do.
Who knew that these two people would not appreciate it at all.
"Mom, it's just a few grasses, you can pull them for fun, I still have to study." Lin Boyu waved his hand without turning back.
It was rare to have time to read without having to work and without being disturbed by anyone, so he had to seize the opportunity.
After being rejected, Liu immediately turned around and went to look for her daughter with great interest.
"Mom, I'm busy right now. I need to make some medicine for Dad for the Autumn Examination. I'll ask you to kill those weeds."
Lin Shiyu pushed Liu out of the room with a smile.
"Your father hasn't even gotten the title of scholar, and you expect him to take the imperial examination. Where does your confidence come from?"
Liu, who was blocked outside the door, shook her head and complained speechlessly. Unfortunately, Lin Shiyu was concentrating on making medicine and could not hear what she said.
If you can't hear it, there will be no response.
Helpless, Liu had to eliminate the weeds herself.
