This idea is bold and outrageous.
But once this thought came out, it wouldn't go out of my head no matter how hard I tried.
"How is that possible?"
Lin Anji denied it with a smile, but when he saw his wife's serious look, his smile disappeared.
"Don't dwell on these nonsense. Even if it's really herbs, so what? Since my third brother and his family didn't tell us, we can only pretend we don't know. We even have to help cover up if outsiders ask about it."
He warned his wife, a rare serious look on his face.
"How could you think of me like that?"
Upon hearing this, Sun's eyes immediately turned red.
They have been together for more than ten years. She thought her husband knew who she was, but he suspected her just because of this one thing.
It would be best if the third wife was capable, but she didn't have the nerve to ask others how to make a living.
My biggest wish is that when my third brother's family gets well, they can help me when I get into trouble.
Sun felt wronged. He was just crying quietly at first, but finally he burst into tears, as if crying out all the grievances he had suffered over the years.
Lin Anji was startled by her crying and quickly stood up to wipe her tears and try to comfort her.
Sun refused and hid away.
Lin Anji tried several times, but seeing that his wife refused to pay attention to him, he stood beside her helplessly.
I don’t know how long it took before Sun’s crying slowly stopped. Although the crying stopped, the hiccups continued.
Lin Anji quickly poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.
Sun took it, took a sip, and handed it back, lying down on the bed. She was in a bad mood and had no interest in paying attention to her husband.
Seeing that his wife ignored him, Lin Anji felt uneasy and uncomfortable. He wanted to walk around to get rid of the restlessness, but he was afraid of disturbing his wife's rest.
After thinking about it, he took off his shoes, climbed up, put his arms around Sun's waist, and accompanied her silently.
The two looked at each other in silence
It took a long time until the two of them fell asleep and started snoring, and then there was a sound coming from the main room.
In the third room, Liu and Lin Shiyu, mother and daughter, played for a while and then started to get busy.
With the help of the two elders and the eldest wife of the Lin family, the herbs in the yard have been picked up and put into baskets.
It's just that they thought these herbs were wild vegetables and put them all together.
Lin Shiyu now has to sort out this pile of mixed herbs and dry them again.
Liu and Lin Boyu were of no help, as they could only barely identify fresh herbs.
In their eyes, all dried herbs look the same, not to mention that some of these dried herbs are leaves, some are roots or stems. They can't recognize them after they are "dismembered".
While putting them into the basket, Old Mrs. Lin was still muttering about why her daughter-in-law picked up those hard stems and roots that were inedible.
Lin Shiyu brought her own small stool and started sorting. Seeing that she could not help, Liu took her son out to continue picking herbs. After these days of hard work, the two of them had already learned about several kinds of herbs.
Treating the villagers for ascariasis allowed their family to make some quick money, but Mrs. Liu didn't dare to expect to have the opportunity to make quick money every month, nor could she expect someone to get sick every day.
Although the money earned from picking herbs is little, it is stable and gives people peace of mind.
"Ahh! My waist!"
Lin Shiyu straightened her back, feeling that it no longer belonged to her.
There was only one desk in their house, and only one matching chair. Lin Shiyu, with her small body, couldn't see the surface of the desk at all when she sat on it.
So she could only sit on a small stool and put the winnowing basket on the ground to pick. She did this all day long, and the sour and refreshing taste was so delicious.
"Pah! How can a kid have such a waist?"
As soon as Liu came in and heard this, she blurted out, "Yao" and "yao" have the same pronunciation. People here, as long as there are children in the family, are superstitious about this.
"Mom, you're back!" Lin Shiyu threw herself into Liu's arms. When she was about to reach her, she reduced her strength and buried her head in her waist, rubbing it.
"Stay away, Mom smells of sweat."
Liu reached out and gently pushed her aside. After being out all day, still in the sun, she felt like she had taken a bath.
"Mom smells so good!"
Having said that, Lin Shiyu did not approach Liu. Instead, she reached out and took the herbs from her hand and sorted them out.
Breakfast had passed a long time ago, and dinner was still a long way off. Lin Shiyu touched her belly and continued to work.
When you focus on doing one thing, time flies.
After she had packed up everything she had, Lin Anru also returned home.
On the way back, Lin Anru's smile never faltered. He was calculating the money he had earned. He walked faster and faster, and returned a few minutes earlier than usual.
But his good mood disappeared when he returned home.
"Second brother is really going too far."
