Seeing her like this, Lin Yan felt a pang of sadness and distress.
She stepped forward, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her:
"Mom, I'm really cured. I won't be stupid anymore. Don't worry, I can earn money to support you from now on!"
"Good child, good child, Mother will go boil water to pluck the chicken feathers. There are potatoes in the basket that I brought back from your maternal grandmother's house. Let's stew them together and eat them together."
"Okay, I'll help you."
Ye Lan's family was also poor.
But it's still a bit better than theirs.
Moreover, she is the only daughter among three sons in her family.
Although she is the eldest daughter, she is pampered like the youngest daughter at home.
Unlike other families with siblings...
The reason she married the original owner's father was because she was attracted to his tall and handsome appearance.
Little did she know that after marriage she would have terrible in-laws who would frequently come over and steal money and things.
As a result, the family became increasingly poor.
She could only frequently return to her parents' home to beg for money to support her husband's family...
"Me too! Me too!"
Two childish voices spoke at the same time!
The family of four walked happily toward the kitchen.
To celebrate this auspicious day, Ye Lan specially cooked half a pot of rice.
Lin Yan took the cleaned chicken.
Since they didn't have any soy sauce at home, she could only put in a few cloves of garlic, then add the potatoes and mushrooms to stew.
After simmering over high heat for a full quarter of an hour, the chicken was finally tender.
Before long, a pot of fragrant chicken and mushroom stew was ready.
This was the most delicious meal my mother and I had ever had!
After all, there was not only rice, but also a big pot of chicken!
"Big sister! It smells so good! I've never eaten anything so delicious before!"
Lin Yu kept sighing as she ate the chicken in her bowl, while Lin Muyan ate so much that he almost buried his head in the bowl.
Ye Lan nodded repeatedly, and didn't forget to give her eldest daughter two extra chicken drumsticks.
Looking at the chicken leg in the bowl, Lin Yan was both amused and deeply moved.
This chicken only has two drumsticks.
She actually put them all on herself...
It has always been like this.
The original owner's parents always believed that it was their carelessness that caused the original owner to become mentally impaired.
Therefore, they treated her exceptionally well, always giving her the first food they could find.
Seeing her younger siblings' furtive and drooling eyes, Lin Yan smiled and gave them the chicken leg.
After all, she had eaten all sorts of delicacies before she transmigrated, but her younger siblings were a different story.
"Eat up! It's a whole chicken, and there's still plenty left in the pot. Don't skimp, I'll go get more tomorrow."
Upon hearing her words, Ye Lan immediately put down her chopsticks and bowl, disapprovingly advising her:
"The mountains are so dangerous, don't keep thinking about going in. The vegetables we grow in the yard are enough for us to eat."
"Mom, I'm very strong. I won't go in. I'll just set some traps on the outside. Don't worry! Come and eat."
Lin Yan must have been in her late twenties in her previous life.
She felt a little embarrassed to be acting coquettishly towards someone in their early thirties.
The four of them ate the whole pheasant clean, not even wasting a drop of the broth.
After finishing her meal, Lin Yan strolled around the yard to digest, pondering how to make money.
Although the original owner's father worked in town and earned one or two taels of silver a month.
However, since the family had not separated, 700 coins had to be confiscated every month.
The reason is that the original owner's uncle was studying in town and even passed the imperial examination.
The whole family pinned their hopes on him.
That's why their family is struggling to make ends meet.
She couldn't figure out a way to make money, but the dream from last night kept inexplicably flashing through her mind...
That dream felt too real.
She could even feel the cool touch of the man's breath on her skin.
She's starting to doubt whether it was a dream or not...
She didn't know if it was because it was nighttime, or because her memories were disordered after she had just transmigrated that day.
She could never remember what that man looked like!
Even if she racked her brains and tried her best to recall.
The man's face was blurred in her mind by a thick mosaic!
Just like that...
For some reason, her head would ache whenever she thought about it.
And what's even more outrageous is!
In her mind, the image of Xie Muqing next door and the man from last night would always overlap.
But that's simply impossible!
Xie Muqing is a true paraplegic.
They need help with everything from eating and drinking to using the toilet.
She had also seen his two younger brothers carry him to the yard to sunbathe, and then carry him back in the evening.
He simply cannot act on his own!
Moreover, she remembered that Lin Xinghua had told the original owner that she had gone to see a doctor once.
Both of his legs were bent.
It's a genuine disability, not a lie.
Moreover, there is a wall separating their house from their neighbor's.
Although it wasn't tall, it was simply a pipe dream for a paralyzed person to jump over the wall into her house!
She shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
Let's just focus on making money honestly.
But how do we make money?
Starting a business? I don't have the capital...
Selling recipes? Even less likely...
Unlike today, a large town in ancient times could have a population of tens or hundreds of thousands.
Their town has only 10,000 to 20,000 people, and the entire county has only a little over 100,000 people.
The restaurant doesn't have that much business...
Selling braised food?
But pig offal needs to be washed with flour to get it clean and prevent it from smelling bad.
But flour is more expensive than pig offal, so why would you use flour to wash pig offal?
