Lin Anyi wanted to ask more, but Liu knew that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make, so she refused to open her mouth.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just listen to your third sister-in-law and take good care of your baby."

After all, this sister-in-law was someone she had watched grow up, and even though it had nothing to do with her, Sun couldn't help but say something.

Just because Liu said this, Lin An would not care. After all, that was the second house and her brother's family. How could she just stay away from them?

But the attitudes of the two sisters-in-law were the same, so Lin Anyi had to take it seriously.

"I understand, eldest sister-in-law, third sister-in-law." Lin Anyi nodded obediently: "Anyway, I can't move around freely, so there won't be many opportunities to meet you."

The third aunt and her sister-in-law chatted casually for a while and then dispersed. None of them were busy, and being able to take the time to chat was already the greatest respect they had for Lin Anyi.

After Chang Lin came back, Lin Anyi told him what had just happened.

"Since the eldest and third sisters-in-law have said so, let's try not to meet with the second brother's family."

Because of Lin Anru, Chang Lin also trusted Liu. He was not Lin Anyi, and he did not have so many feelings for the second house.

"Then I'll find a reason to tell Mom that I won't see anyone tomorrow."

The only people missing were from the second house. This was too targeted, and she had no conflicts with the second house. It would not be good to suddenly target them.

"I'm sorry for putting you through this." Chang Lin gently stroked her head. "I'll go find some storybooks for you to read tomorrow so you don't get bored."

Lin Anyi knows how to read. She has liked to follow Lin Anru since she was a child. When Lin Anru was bored, she would teach her how to read.

It is also because of this that, despite the huge difference in financial situation between the Chang family and the Lin family, the Chang family still likes the Lin family's daughter.

There are few people who can read these days, let alone girls who can read.

Apart from the girls from noble families, it is extremely rare to find a girl who can read and write in farming families.

……

Second bedroom.

After Zhang and his group arrived home, Zhang took all the copper coins from the children and counted them one by one.

"Where did you get so many copper coins?"

Lin Anxiang heard the voice and took the silver in her hand.

"Your sister was very generous in giving the child a welcome gift."

Zhang was both happy and jealous. Such a young girl was lucky enough to marry a good husband, but the gift was just copper coins.

I don’t know how she got so lucky to be favored by the Chang family.

She reached out and stroked her face, thinking to herself: If I were ten years younger, there would be no Lin Anyi in the Chang family.

"Don't touch this money yet. I'll take it back to my parents. My parents have been urging me to pay them back. It's really annoying." Zhang reached out and took the copper coins back: "Pay some back first, it will be easier to borrow money later."

Although their housewarming party a while ago was not grand, it was not shameful either, as it was all thanks to the money borrowed from her parents' home.

Lin Anxiang's eyes darkened. He felt unhappy when he thought about how he had begged for help when he went to Zhang's parents' home some time ago.

I spent so much time just to borrow such a small amount of money, and now less than a month later they are asking me to pay it back.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Zhang wanted to give the money back to him, but she didn't want to break off her relationship with the Zhang family.

"Then return it."

Lin Anxiang spoke word by word, saying that because of the unpleasantness over borrowing money, he did not think of returning the money to the Zhang family immediately after his family had money.

Most of the money he borrowed for the banquet when he moved into a new house was recovered from the gift money. Later, the money he earned from selling herbs was enough to pay it back, but he just refused to pay it back.

Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but the relationship with her mother's family must not be severed.

"Starting tomorrow, let the three of you go to your aunt's place to chat more often. Their uncle-in-law is rich and he has made your aunt very happy. The money that comes out of his fingers is enough to feed our family for a year or so."

Lin Anxiang felt a surge of excitement when he thought of the betrothal gifts that the Chang family had sent to his sister when she got married.

If the damned third brother hadn't secretly let the youngest sister take away all the betrothal gifts, they wouldn't have to live in such a low profile now.

He deserved that the old man was angry with him and let him do what he wanted.

"Yeah, okay." Zhang had the same idea and agreed immediately.

Lin Anyi had no idea about the second wife's plan, and it would be fine even if she knew, because she and her husband had already decided not to receive any outsiders for the next month.

After Lin Anru from the third wife left home, Lin Anji from the first wife also wanted to leave.

But compared with Lin Anru, he had to do hard labor when he left, so Sun's worry was more obvious than Liu's.

Serving hard labor is not easy. Every time people go there they feel like they have lost half their life when they come back. But they have to go, unless you have money to bribe others or have some honors. If you have neither, then you'd better go and do the hard labor.

Every family with adult males had to send someone over, so after Lin Anji and his group set off, the village became much quieter.

Liu felt that Sun would be as worried as she was about her husband's poor appetite and sleep, so the day after Lin Anji left, she went to see her sister-in-law and comfort her.

But she came up empty-handed.

"My mother went to the fields. If you want to find her, Aunt San, just go to the field in the west and shout." Lin Bowen pointed in the direction of the field.

Liu walked in the direction she pointed, but did not shout.

After the busy farming season, new crops have not yet been planted and the fields are empty. You can tell at a glance whether there is anyone in that direction.

"Sister-in-law, have you planted herbs on all the land?"

Liu looked at the green land with admiration in her heart. As far as she knew, only the eldest family in the whole village did this.

"These are all newly opened lands. Anyway, there is no tax for the first three years. We might as well use them to grow herbs and sell them for money." Sun explained with a smile, and then asked, "How did you find time to come here, sister-in-law?"

"This newly opened land is much better for growing herbs than crops."

After she met Sun, she couldn't tell him the reason for coming to see him, so Liu had no choice but to avoid answering and talk about other topics.

Why there is no need to pay tax on reclaimed land for three years? It is because basically no matter what is planted on the land in the first three years, there will not be much harvest.

“It is indeed good.”

Sun nodded in agreement. She wanted to reclaim a few more acres of land, but Lin Anji was not at home and she was the only adult at home. It was just enough for her to take care of the herbs on a daily basis, and she would be too busy to handle the reclaiming of land.

"I see that some families in the village also want to open up wasteland to grow herbs. My sister-in-law has this idea and she should hurry up. There is only so much land that can be reclaimed and is easy to reclaim."

"I do want to!" Liu sighed.

Lin Anru was not at home. She was weak and had to put down the hoe within a quarter of an hour after picking it up. The land reclamation really began and she could not reclaim a single piece of land in a whole year.

In addition, since his family was busy purchasing herbs, he had no free time. Even if he wanted to, and knew that he could make more money this way, it was just a thought.
