After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"I have just discussed this with my great uncle. He will continue to help take care of our fields. In the future, the income from the fields will be divided equally between our two families."

Lin Youan held a piece of silver and sighed, feeling that he and his two children owed the eldest son's family too much.

After all, Chu Chi had been doing this for a few months and had made some progress. He tilted his head and looked at his son, who looked obviously a little worried.

I don't understand why the person who was counting money with a smile just now suddenly sighed with a sad face.

"An An, are you unhappy?"

"No."

Because my mother has a simple mind and cannot understand things that are too complicated, so after these few months of getting along, they have developed a good habit of speaking directly about everything.

"Mom, you don't know, I've already made inquiries outside. The tenants here usually pay 50% of the rent.

Even if we encounter a ruthless and cruel master, the worst case scenario is that the profit will be split 70% to 30%. With a 20% to 80% split, we are actually taking advantage of the eldest son’s family.”

Thinking of the argument with his uncle at that time, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"At first, my great uncle even told him not to do it at all. Do you think I can do such a thing?

The eldest brother’s children are still young, the second brother needs money for his studies, and the dowries for the older sisters have not been settled yet.

If I flatter my uncle and allow him to subsidize our second branch, will I be able to go out and meet people in the future?"

He didn't care whether his mother understood him or not, he just wanted to express his gratitude. He was embarrassed to say it in front of his uncle, but he remembered every time the other party helped him.

I looked out the window, towards the upper room, and seemed to hear faint rough laughter.

There is peace in Lin Youan's heart.

That was his uncle, an uncle with a harsh mouth and a mean face, but who always tried his best to help him.

Ever since his father passed away, his uncle has taken on the role of a father and has been doing his best to teach and support him. He understands it all.

"Mom, uncle is really nice, isn't he?"

"Yes, big brother is really nice."

Although she didn't quite understand what An An wanted to say, she understood the last sentence of the question.

When the eldest brother went to the town to get medicine two days ago, he also brought them some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was sweet and soft and very delicious. So Chu Chi gave him a good person card without hesitation.

After expressing all the emotions he wanted to express, Lin Youan returned to his usual smart and taciturn self.

He wrapped all the valuables layer by layer, found a very small wooden box to put them in, then bent down and crawled under the bed.

He lifted up the third brick on the wall at the head of the bed, where he had already pried out a small hole, just the right size for the small wooden box to fit in. He carefully put it back in place, covered it with the brick, and then pounded it several times with his fist to make it tight.

After making sure that these valuables would not slip away, he crawled out from under the bed with peace of mind.

Then he met Chu Chi, who was squatting beside the bed and looking at him with great interest, and Lin Qianqian, who was lying on the bed with her head hanging down, blinking her big eyes curiously.

"An An, are you playing hide-and-seek with us? Kanan and I saw it."

The little girl who was named by the dear old lady giggled and cheered. Lin Youan looked at them with amusement, came out and brushed the dust off his clothes.

"It's not hide-and-seek. I'm hiding our property. It's not safe to carry those deeds with me."

Lin Youan did a very good job in this regard. Even though he knew that his mother probably didn't understand, he never treated her like a fool in such a big matter.

Just explain carefully over and over again.

"Mom, you must never tell anyone outside where our property is hidden. If it is stolen, we will become penniless in the future.

Do you know what a pauper is? It means having no property or money, and going hungry every day.

How scary, isn’t it?

Chu Chi blinked and looked under the bed, thinking about the scene of them becoming paupers in the future, and his physiological reaction was to refuse to accept it.

"Yeah!"

She hated being hungry, so she responded with extra firmness, and she kept in mind the rule that important things must be said three times.

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Lin Youan reached out and lifted his sister, who was hanging on the edge of the bed, back to the bed. He then sat back down and carefully put the silver and money that had been counted back into the slightly larger wooden box.

Looking up and meeting his mother's gaze, he began to negotiate.

"Mother, my second brother will be on leave in a few days. My uncle discussed with me yesterday and said that when my second brother returns to the academy, he will take me with him.

If there is a teacher at Green Willow Academy who is willing to accept me, then I will be like my second brother and only come back once every ten days. Do you think this is okay?"

Chu Chi glanced at him and asked in a low voice.

"Can't Kanan and I go together? Didn't you say that mother and child should be together? Then why can't the two of us go to the academy with you?"

When Lin Xianxian heard her mother calling her name again, she tilted her head very cutely and thought for a few seconds, then nimbly climbed into her mother's arms.

And very cleverly, he sighed.

Look, her mother really loves her. She won't let her hold her for a while and keeps repeating her name. Alas, adults who are too clingy to babies really worry about them.

It must be said that this little girl is really filial and kind. Unfortunately, her mother and brother cannot receive any of her silent love and thoughtfulness.

Chu Chi held Kan Kan in his arms and looked at An An with his beautiful eyes.

When these two poor little creatures, one big and one small, are stacked together, their power will definitely be doubled.

If it wasn't for the better life of the three of them in the future, Lin Youan almost wanted to slap his thigh and say, "We won't go to that crappy academy!"

But unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Isn't it said long ago? Money is hard to earn, and food is hard to eat. For a better life in the future, we must endure some of the unpleasantness of the present when we have to endure the separation.

There was no way he could live in the town with his mother and sister now. Without his uncle and aunt to help take care of them, how could he dare to let them go to the academy?

In the blink of an eye, his mother would bring her sister and cause him all kinds of trouble.

Since everything is a necessary arrangement, all we can do is to comfort her as usual.

"It's really not possible now. When we grow up a little bit and have some savings, we can take you with us.

And, mother, there are no mountains or forests for you to play in in the town. If you leave, who will Huahua give all that meat to? "

Very good, that sentence hits the point.
