"grass!"
Lin Anxiang kicked the bench closest to him away.
The eldest and the third brother didn't take him seriously at all.
"If you don't go to work, how can you eat standing here? You lowly thing."
He kicked over all the stools around him and had nothing to vent his anger on, so he had to pull Lin Shijie, who was standing not far away, over.
Lin Shijie felt like her hands were about to be torn off but she didn't dare to say a word. The memories of her previous life told her that keeping silent was the best choice at this time.
Sure enough, after venting his anger, Lin Anxiang quickly let her go:
"Since I have so much free time, I can go pick wild vegetables and make dried vegetables after I finish my work every day."
Lin Anxiang explained.
For the sake of face, he and Zhang risked their dignity and went to Yue's family to get money to buy land.
For the sake of face, he used all his savings to build a house.
Now the second wife is in a very poor situation.
But for the sake of face, he didn't want others to know that his family was struggling to make ends meet.
They can still shamelessly get some food in the old house these days, but they will be finished once they move out.
His own things were gone, and his wife's family's things were also gone. He couldn't save face and borrow things in front of other people, so he could only ask Lin Shijie to pick wild vegetables when she went to collect firewood every day.
Anyway, he doesn't feel sorry for the child since it's not his own.
The lobby was empty except for a thin figure standing there for a long, long time...
Three bedrooms.
Liu stared at the copper coins beside the boat in a trance.
"Tired?"
Lin Anru walked over, touched her forehead, and felt relieved only after confirming that she didn't have a fever.
Liu had been in poor health since she was a child, and her health became even worse after she got married and had children.
Overwork, lack of rest, worry, cold, heat...these common things can cause her to have a fever.
"Isn't it a bad idea for us to charge the villagers so much money for a prescription?"
Liu felt guilty.
They sold medicine worth forty wen for two hundred wen. Is that really okay?
"There's nothing wrong with it. Look, if villagers go to the county town to see a doctor, they can't get the treatment without at least one or two taels of silver, from consultation to medicine. Now it only costs two hundred coins. Just think about it, everyone in the village is making a fortune."
Yes, they make a lot of money, but compared with the county clinic, they only make a little bit, there is no comparison at all.
You have to know that the herbs they bought were also ordinary herbs, and they were sold to the clinic for only three cents per pound.
But the herbs they bought only weighed about one pound in total, but the clinic charged him three hundred coins to sell them to him.
Lin Anru also felt uneasy for a moment, but when he compared himself with the clinic, he found that he had a conscience.
If any common people go to the clinic, they will suffer from severe injuries, including losing everything.
Their family now only earns less than one-tenth of the money from the clinic, and this one-tenth of the money can save a life. Thinking of this, all the anxiety can go to hell.
Their family is in need of a lot of money right now, but they are hesitant to earn money. They won't even be able to eat wild vegetables.
In reality, none of them can afford to watch their money run away.
Not to mention that he has a premature and sick daughter who needs a lot of money for emergencies, his wife is also a sickly person and also needs money.
His father-in-law is gone, and Liu can only see other doctors for treatment, which is a huge expense.
A large expenditure is enough to bankrupt an ordinary family.
It can be imagined that if Liu's father had not taught himself medicine, Liu would have no chance of growing up alive.
If a child has a physical illness since childhood and lives in an ordinary family, it is okay for a boy, as his family will not give up easily, but a girl may have no chance of survival from the moment she is born.
Liu's uneasiness was only a little bit, and with her husband's comfort, the uneasiness in her heart disappeared, leaving only the excitement of making money.
"Everyone, take a short nap. When you wake up, pack up the dried herbs and I'll take them to the clinic to sell them tomorrow morning. I won't be out this afternoon."
Lin Anru told his wife and children.
One has to pay an entrance fee to go to the county town, and Lin Anru always feels like he is losing out if he goes there empty-handed.
Liu and the two children nodded in agreement.
Lin Shiyu was the most cooperative. She immediately ran to the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
I've been seeing patients all morning, it's really tiring.
Seeing that his daughter had fallen asleep, Lin Anru took his wife and children out of the room to pack up the herbs.
It’s not that they don’t want to sleep, but that they can’t sleep!
How could they possibly sleep with so much silver!
When she woke up, Lin Shiyu found that not only had the herbs been put away, but the empty winnowing basket was also filled with fresh herbs.
"Is this a shot of chicken blood?"
She muttered to herself that while she was sleeping, everyone was working hard, which made her look so lazy!
"Little lazy boy, get ready for dinner."
Liu put down her dishes and asked her daughter to come and sit down.
Lin Shiyu ran over immediately.
If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain.
After the quarrel with the second wife, the Lin family rarely gathered together for dinner.
Basically, everyone goes back to their own room to eat, and they only get together if there is something important they want to discuss that day.
"Didn't we agree not to go picking herbs this afternoon? Why did you bring back so many?"
Lin Shiyu complained to her parents and brother, saying that the family should be together, so why didn't they take her with them?
Although it was nice to sleep in, the most important thing now was to add more varieties to her medicine arsenal.
If you want to live freely, you have to remove the threats to your life, otherwise you won’t be happy even if you want to wander around.
"It was a cool, overcast afternoon, so we went out," Liu explained. "We tried to call you, but you wouldn't wake up. What could we do?"
“We didn’t…”
Before Lin Boyu could finish his words, he was kicked by his mother.
Liu: Look at my expression, son!
Lin Boyu: I see it, I see it, mom!
"Yes! We called you, but you couldn't wake up, you little lazy bum."
Lin Boyu nodded seriously when he said this.
Lin Shiyu: ...
Did you treat me as a human when you were acting? It was so obvious.
"Well, it's all my fault."
I will cooperate with your performance as it is my turn.
"Next time, remember to take me with you. If you can't wake me up, carry me outside. I'll definitely wake up when I'm outside."
Lin Shiyu spoke seriously, but the three people opposite her responded perfunctorily.
Lin Shiyu: Please put away those raised corners of your mouths, thank you!
Nights without electricity and entertainment are long. If you want to get through the long night quickly, the best way is to sleep soundly.
The people from the third room were no exception.
In the dark room, Lin Anru became completely quiet after she finished reciting what her son had learned.
