"You're killing yourself! Sit down, sit down!"

Chang Lin hurriedly picked her up and carried her back, then made her sit on the chair.

Lin Anyi sat obediently, not because of her husband, but because her brother was looking at her with disapproval.

"You're not a kid anymore. You're going to be a mother soon. Don't be as playful as before." Lin Anru taught her, and then added, "You have to have fun to get through these few months."

Being lively is her nature, and Lin Anru doesn't want to erase her nature.

Only those who have a hard time in life will restrain their temper.

Lin Anyi nodded obediently. She was just lying there for too long and got excited. She also couldn't get used to the fact that she was about to become a mother, so she behaved like that.

Since they are already adults, Lin Anru just gave them a few words of advice and skipped the topic.

"Third brother, this is the leftover lamp oil. We won't take it back. You can use it."

Before Lin Anru got home, Chang Lin brought the gifts to her for fear that Lin Anru would refuse. After all, this was not the first time that he had refused the gifts she gave him.

"Why are there so many left? Did you buy all the ones from the oil mill?"

Lin Anru looked speechlessly at the large jar of lamp oil in the corner. Their family wouldn't use that much just for cooking in a year, let alone lighting.

“Haha, haha~”

Chang Lin smiled awkwardly. At that time, he was thinking of giving some to Ayi for use at night, and giving the rest to Lin Anru.

He had heard that poor families were reluctant to light oil lamps at night, so he prepared a little more.

Just a little bit really.

"I originally wanted to use it for me when I get up at night. Since I don't get up at night, I haven't moved it. You can use it, Third Brother. I find it troublesome to transport it back and forth. Anyway, we don't need this little lamp oil at home."

Lin Anyi explained and persuaded Lin Anru not to refuse.

Lin Shiyu, who was sitting on the side, looked up at her aunt and uncle-in-law. Did you know that these two people were showing off their wealth invisibly?

It seems that the Chang family's wealth is much higher than expected, but for such a good family, why does everyone in the Chang family wear coarse cloth?

Lin Shiyu was puzzled at first, but then she thought about her former neighbors during home visits, those uncles and aunties who owned several buildings. They usually dressed very casually, wearing a pair of flip-flops wherever they went.

"If you don't want to take it, then put it here."

What this meant was that he accepted it. When Chang Lin heard this, all his big white teeth showed.

It was not easy for the third brother to finally accept his things. As for the bag of silver he gave him before, it didn't count because he forced it on him.

Lin Shiyu: His teeth are so white, he must be rich!

They chatted for a while, and then Liu and Lin Bowen prepared the meal.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. It's so delicious."

Why is the meat shop so far from his home? Why is the transportation here so inconvenient? Why is there only one healthy adult man in her family?

As a result, whenever he wanted to eat meat, he had to wait for her father to come back.

"Come on, come on, praise me, your uncle. Next time I come, I'll bring you some meat, enough to fill you up."

Chang Lin said proudly that he liked Lin Shiyu very much.

Not only is she Lin Anru's daughter, but she also "saved" the lives of his wife and children, and she has shown her own abilities, all of which make people like her.

"Sir, you are handsome, elegant, graceful, and dignified..."

Lin Shiyu directly recited a series of idioms, and Chang Lin's smile never dropped as he listened.

"Look, look, how rare your husband looks like!"

Lin Anyi rolled her eyes at him: "I just said it casually, how can you take it seriously?"

"Hey! What are you talking about?" Chang Lin was unhappy and turned to ask Lin Shiyu: "Yu Jie'er, tell your aunt loudly whether your uncle-in-law is good-looking or not."

"Yes!"

"Look, look, your niece said so, so it must be true."

He laughed so loudly, and his smug look made people want to beat him up.

……

The meal was spent in laughter and joy.

After dinner, Chang Lin and Lin Anyi said goodbye and went home. Although the journey was not far, considering Lin Anyi's health, it would not be a bad idea to leave more time.

In the third room, Liu was responsible for cleaning the table, washing the dishes and so on; Lin Anru took Lin Boyu to check how Lin Boyu had completed his homework when he was not at home.

As for Lin Shiyu, she was holding the small box that Lin Anru brought back, which contained cooling oil and insect repellent cream.

The number of boxes Lin Anru brought back was much more than the actual order, so Lin Shiyu used the remaining materials at home to make a batch of ointments and oils, and used boxes to put ointments with other effects.

When the time comes, let Lin Anru take it to the private school to see if there is a market for it.

Most of the scholars came from wealthy families, and they could make money faster by finding a market for the herbs than by selling them directly.

Lin Anru only had two days of rest. She spent half of the first day having dinner with Chang Lin and his wife, and spent the remaining half day checking her children's homework.

So early the next morning he went to borrow an ox cart and transported the herbs stored at home to the county town.

The settlement of herb money with the villagers that had been agreed upon before, on the first and fifteenth day of each month, has been changed to once a month.

"Be careful on the road."

Liu gave reluctant instructions.

Although it was said that I had two days of rest, in reality I stayed at home for less than one day. It was really too rushed.

"The sun is scorching, let's go back!"

Lin Anru waved her hand, and she and Lin Anji set off crying on the ox cart.

This time he took the herbs to the county town to sell, and then went directly back to the private school. Lin Anji took the money and drove back to Shantian Village.

……

After parting again, Liu adapted well and as soon as she stepped into the home, the reluctance she felt disappeared.

"Mom, why don't we move to the county town so you can see Dad every day."

Lin Shiyu suggested that he really wanted to move to the county town, if for no other reason, but simply because it was convenient for shopping, which tempted her.

Although the village is nice, with beautiful scenery and great air, it is useless if there is no delicious food.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Houses in the county are so expensive. With our family wealth, let alone buying one, we can only rent it for a few months before it's all gone."

Liu refused with a smile. Who doesn't want to be a city dweller? But being a city dweller is not that easy.

In the village they can still farm to fill their stomachs, but if they go to the city they don't have any skills, will the whole family have to starve there?

“Are houses in the city so expensive?”

Lin Shiyu, who was not familiar with the prices here, was stunned. Their family's current financial resources were not affected, but they were still not small, especially the orders that Lin Anru brought back yesterday. The total amount of money in the family was almost fifty taels.
