A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Just as the meal was ready, Father Lin came back in the afterglow of the setting sun, carrying a backpack and a hoe. Mother Lin and Lin Yiran came out to help Father Lin take off the backpack.

When Lin Yiran saw the wild amaranth in the basket, she was overjoyed. The dumplings stuffed with wild amaranth and meat were extremely delicious.

I can make wild amaranth dumplings for my family tomorrow.

He quickly turned the backpack upside down, but it was too late for Lin's father to speak out to stop him.

I saw a little creature with a bright red body and only a few white hairs on its forehead, belly and the tip of its tail tremblingly coming out from a pile of wild vegetables.

"Dad, is this... a fox?" Lin Yiran asked uncertainly.

"Yes, Ran'er, after I finished my work in the fields in the afternoon, I wanted to go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, but I didn't expect to find it in a trap.

Its hind legs were pierced by the bamboo thorns in the trap, and I thought it was pretty, so I wanted to bring it back to you as a playmate."

Mother Lin also thought that the little fox had beautiful fur, but it was too small and injured, so she didn’t know if it could be raised!

Lin Yiran, who loves stuffed animals, couldn't help but want to touch the little fox's head. As soon as she stretched her hand in front of the little fox, she saw it staring at her vigilantly.

A whimpering sound came from his mouth, like a warning and a plea.

The little body also retreated, but its legs were injured so it moved very slowly.

Looking at the cute and fierce look of the little guy, Lin Yiran thought it was really funny and couldn't help but want to tease it.

Mother Lin couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Ran'er, you should take care of its wound first. Then play with it after it's healed."

"Okay then," seeing her daughter's reluctant look, Lin's mother shook her head and laughed, she really has the mentality of a child.

Lin Yiran went to the kitchen and carefully took out a small jar of spiritual spring water. This was what was left over from cooking ginseng last time!

You have to use it sparingly.

He then took the broken bowl used to feed the chickens, poured in half a bowl of spiritual spring water, and placed it in front of the little fox.

He muttered: "Such a good thing is really cheap for you. I don't know when I can enter the space!"

The little fox looked at Lin Yiran warily and refused to drink.

"This little guy is quite alert," Lin Yiran left the little fox's sight.

Looking at the little guy's eyes looking around, Lin Yiran found it funny.

The little fox started drinking only when he was sure there was no danger around. After drinking, he licked the bowl again and again.

Haha, the little guy is quite knowledgeable!

At this time, Father Lin came over with a piece of cloth and some crushed herbs.

"Come here, Ran'er. I'll hold its head while you apply some medicine to its wound."

Lin Yiran thought that after drinking the spiritual spring water, this minor injury would heal in a short time without even leaving a scar.

But you still have to pretend.

The father and daughter bandaged the little fox's wound regardless of its struggle.

Father Lin was also scratched by the little thing, but luckily the baby had been injured shortly after being born and didn't have much strength.

The wound was not deep, so Lin Yiran applied the remaining medicine from treating the little fox to his father.

"Hurry up and eat. You two are really busy. Put it in the backpack first. I have already put some straw in it."

Father Lin nodded, then grabbed the little fox's ear, picked it up and put it in the backpack.

After thinking about it, I put a lid on it for fear that it would run around.

"Mom, let me see if the second and third brothers are up."

"Go ahead, wake them up even if they're not awake yet."

"Yes, mother," Lin's mother was amused by her daughter.

Father Lin looked at the mother and daughter quietly with a loving smile on his face.

After Lin Yiran went to his second brother Lin's room, Lin's father asked Lin's mother what had happened today.

After Lin's mother finished telling the story, Lin's father said solemnly: "Our Lin family is going to be prosperous, may our ancestors bless us!

Ran'er is a person with great fortune. She has such a master, and her future is destined to be extraordinary.

However, when you don't have the ability to protect yourself, you should still be low-key.

So as not to cause envy.”

Mother Lin nodded in agreement.

"Father, mother, second brother and third brother are awake. I have helped them over. Please lend a hand."

Seeing the three siblings stumbling towards this side, Lin's mother and father hurried forward to support them.

"How much have you drunk? Do you want to die?" Father Lin scolded angrily.

Neither of them said anything, just standing there pretending to be a quail.

Dad, my second and third brothers drank to get closer to Manager Liu, and the atmosphere was so exciting that they drank a few more glasses.

Manager Liu was also drunk, and we were the ones who sent him back!

As our business develops in the future, socializing will be inevitable.

But drinking alcohol is harmful to your health, so you should drink less.”

Lin Yiran blinked at her second and third brothers, and they understood immediately.

"Dad, we were immature and made you worry. We will be more careful in the future." The two of them promised in unison.

"Hmph, remember what you said today and don't do it again. Sit down and eat."

They both breathed a sigh of relief; Dad's stern face was too scary.

When Lin's mother brought the dishes to the table one by one, Third Brother Lin stared at the food in front of him with shining eyes.

There was a large bowl of rice, a small bowl of noodle soup, and a bowl of meat sauce. The dish in the other bowl was something I didn't recognize.

The colors are well matched, the red and green colors exude an overbearing spicy and pungent smell.

"What kind of dish is this, mom? Why does it taste so special?" Third Brother Lin asked curiously.

Second brother Lin and his father had the same doubts and pricked up their ears.

"This..." Lin's mother deliberately prolonged her voice to whet everyone's appetite.

Seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, Mother Lin felt amused.

"What is it? Mom, hurry up!" Seeing Third Brother Lin's anxious look, Lin Yiran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Mom, just tell my third brother and the others. Look how anxious my third brother is."

Mother Lin looked at her daughter who was ruining her show. She thought that she had raised her daughter in vain as she didn't know how to cooperate with her at all.

"Your sister did it, if you want to know, ask her."

The ball was kicked back to me.

Lin Yiran cleared his throat, "This is spicy diced rabbit. I fried the rabbit meat with chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings."

"What is that? Why have I never heard of these seasonings?" Third Brother Lin asked puzzledly.

"Third brother, these seasonings were given to me by my master, and the cooking method was also taught to me by my master."

Only then did the third brother Lin suddenly realize what was going on. Father Lin and the second brother Lin also had expressions that showed that this was what was going on.

"Eat quickly, the noodles will become clumpy soon." Lin's mother said.

"Okay," Third Brother Lin took the lead and picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth.

"So spicy and numb," Third Brother Lin took a hissing breath and quickly took another big mouthful of rice.

It’s finally not that spicy anymore, but why is there still a slight aftertaste?

Then he picked up another piece of rabbit meat and nodded while eating. Although the taste was very stimulating, it was a brand new experience.

My taste buds have gradually adapted to this stimulation. It feels great, and my whole body seems to be on fire.

The extreme numbness and spiciness mixed with the smooth texture of rabbit meat are blended together, making you unable to stop eating it.

"It's delicious, so delicious, the most delicious food I've ever tasted," said Brother Lin San as he ate.

When he reached for the spicy rabbit cubes with his chopsticks again, he was stopped by Lin Yiran.

"Third brother, you just drank some wine. This spicy food will irritate your stomach. You should eat less. Mother has prepared noodles and meat sauce for you and second brother."

Third Brother Lin picked up two chopsticks of noodles and put them into his bowl, then started eating with the meat sauce.

Although meat sauce is also delicious, I prefer spicy rabbit meat.

"Third brother, wait a couple of days and I'll make you spicy diced rabbit. Then you'll eat so much that you won't be able to walk."

When Brother Lin San heard that his little sister would cook rabbit meat for him in the future, his mood instantly improved and he quickly ate the noodles in the bowl.

Brother Lin tried a piece of spicy diced rabbit and went straight to the noodle soup. In his words, the spicy diced rabbit was delicious but he just couldn't get used to the spiciness.

Father Lin, Mother Lin, and Lin Yiran quickly picked up the spicy rabbit cubes and rice, and their chopsticks left afterimages.

After a while, there was only a little noodle soup left on the table.

Third Brother Lin looked at his parents and sister with envy, then he felt a little better when he thought that he would be able to eat spicy rabbit cubes in a few days.

After dinner, Lin Yiran helped her mother clean up the kitchen, and then they went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Lin Yiran was still asleep when she was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Who is it, disturbing my sweet dreams so early in the morning?

Then I heard footsteps in the yard and the sound of a bolt being opened.

"It's Mr. Zhang, what brings you here? Please come in."

"Stop talking nonsense, Boss Lin. When are you going to return the three taels of silver?" a servant beside the rich man Zhang shouted.

"Isn't it just one or two taels of silver?" Father Lin said weakly.

"I've been borrowing this for more than half a year, and I'm still paying three taels of silver plus interest for the sake of our fellow villagers."

"Then I remember the interest rate wasn't that high, right?"

"It's on black paper with your signature and fingerprint on it."

The servant took out a piece of paper and waved it in front of Lin's father. Lin's father saw that the column for the debtor was indeed signed by himself.

No, Lin's father remembered that he borrowed one tael of silver at that time, and paid it back a year later, plus another tael of silver as interest, for a total of two taels of silver.

Now I see that it says: "IOU: Lin Qingshan borrows one tael of silver from Zhang Chao, to be returned in half a year, with two taels of silver as interest, for a total of three taels of silver. Below is the date of the loan and my name."

This was just a word game played with him. Father Lin cried out that he had been fooled, but there was nothing he could do and he could only swallow this loss in silence.

"Can you give me a few more days? I haven't saved enough money yet.

Go out and borrow some more, and send it to Mr. Zhang’s home in five days.”

"Our boss doesn't have so much time to wait for you. You must pay the money today, otherwise he will use the house and land to pay off the debt." The servant said arrogantly.

The rich man Zhang, who was standing aside, remained silent, apparently approving of his servant's actions.

Lin Yiran probably also understood the whole story. This good man Zhang is not a good man at all. He is even more evil than Zhou Baopi.

I really don't know how he got the reputation of being a good man. I guess he just made it up on his own.

Lin Yiran's guess was almost right. This rich man Zhang relied on his brother-in-law who was a county magistrate to act tyrannically.

He brought disaster to the community and did all kinds of evil.

I don’t know if it was because they had done too many evil things, but the aunts were carried home one by one.

But in all these years, he only had two daughters, one of whom was born with congenital deficiencies and had to rely on precious medicinal herbs to survive all year round.

I have seen many doctors, and they all said that he had azoospermia and that it was a miracle that he had two daughters.

But he did not give up and always wanted to have a son. He sought medical treatment and medicine everywhere, until one day he met a monk from another place who came to beg for alms.

They said that he was deeply sinful and that if he did more good deeds in the future, God might give him a son.

Later, porridge was indeed provided to the victims for a period of time, and it was at that time that the victims gave him the name Zhang Dashanren.
