Although she thought so, Liu acted decisively and went over to help.

"You don't have to come. I can do it myself. If you are free, please help move the things we took out to our room or our son's room."

Lin Anru pointed at the things that had been moved to the lobby. It was not known how long it would take to dig the basement, and they could not just leave them in the lobby forever, as this would arouse suspicion among others.

Liu had many doubts in her heart, but seeing that her husband was so busy, she did not ask too many questions and just did as he asked.

The things in a warehouse were divided into two rooms, filling the two rooms so much that there was basically no space except for space for walking around.

Lin Boyu lowered his head to read a book while watching his mother's actions. As time passed, the space in the room became smaller and smaller, and his mood became more and more irritated.

"Mom, why do you put all your things in my room?"

It only took Lin Boyu a few days to go from being afraid of sleeping alone in such a large space, to getting used to sleeping alone in such a large space, and then to liking having such a large space alone.

He used to sleep in the same room with his parents, and most people in the village did the same, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

But ever since he started sleeping in his own room, he found that he couldn't adapt to a large group of people living in the same room, not even a bunch of items that didn't belong to him. He felt like his little world was being invaded.

"Your father asked me to bring it here." Liu brought in the last item, panting with exhaustion: "I'll move it out soon, don't get upset..."

After moving to the new house and sleeping alone, his son no longer allowed outsiders to enter his room. Liu thought that he was old enough and it was okay for him not to enter.

Who knew that he would throw a tantrum when we moved some things in today? It was because their parents indulged him, otherwise, like other families in the village, they would insist on going in even if you didn't let them in!

When he heard that it was arranged by his father, Lin Boyu lost his temper: "When can we move out?"

"I don't know about that. If you want to go faster, finish memorizing the book and help your father."

Lin Boyu was depressed because he didn't get the accurate information, so he had to keep his head down and continue studying. Whether it was to complete the task assigned by his father or to rush to help his father, he had to memorize the book first.

By evening, Lin Anru had already dug out half of the room.

During this period, Lin Shiyu also helped to collect the excavated soil.

According to Lin Anru, the soil will be dug up and packed up, and then piled up at the junction of the house and the forest to build a mud bag wall.

"This amount of soil is not enough. Put it in first and dig more later to make a bigger piece."

Lin Anru explained that it was her daughter's fault for having a giant beast eating a person in her dream. She didn't know whether the earthen wall at home was strong enough to stop the giant beast, so it was necessary to add an extra layer of protection.

"Any more wouldn't be enough. This little bit can't even cover half of the yard." Lin Shiyu estimated and broke Lin Anru's fantasy.

He wanted to build a fence between the village and the forest, to protect the rest of the village while protecting his own family.

"Install it first. If it's not enough, we can just use the one in our own yard."

Lin Anru really wanted to protect other people in the village. After all, her family and friends were in the village. This was where she had lived since she was a child. The feelings here must be much deeper than those for Lin Shiyu, who was just a half-time family member. But no matter what, the premise was to protect her own family first.

Lin Shiyu obediently packed up all the soil, and waited for Lin Anru to finish her work and tie the bags so they could be transported out.

"Take a break and eat first before you work."

Liu and Lin Boyu came over with food and stopped the two men.

"Hey, why did you kill the fish?"

When Lin Shiyu sat at the table, she saw the familiar fish and reached for it with her chopsticks without hesitation.

"It looked like it was dying and it didn't have much time left, so we killed it."

Liu was afraid that her daughter would not find fault, so she helped her check the fish in the bowl while explaining.

"It's time to kill it. It won't taste good if it dies."

Lin Shiyu narrowed her eyes and said, "You have to eat fresh fish, otherwise the taste will not be good."

Liu touched her head with a smile. How old was she? How could she already know whether something was fresh or delicious?

The Lin family never ate fish all year round, and the Liu family even less. Her father didn't like fish, and fish was rarely seen on the table. I don't know where her daughter came to this conclusion.

They finished the meal very quickly. One reason was that the food was delicious, and another was that Lin Anru was in a hurry to dig the basement and urged everyone to finish eating so that they could get back to work.

After dinner, Liu was assigned to wash the pots and dishes, Lin Boyu was caught by Lin Anru to dig the soil together, and Lin Shiyu was just a bystander in the job of loading the soil.

She worked until she could no longer open her eyes, and then Liu sent her to wash up and go to bed. Before she fell asleep, the noise of digging in the house was still going on.

The next day, Lin Shiyu got out of bed yawning.

She still had to go to the river to continue her fishing plan, so sleeping in was impossible for her.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here so early?"

I don’t know what time they rested last night. They got up so early to work.

"I'm going to the county town this afternoon, so get up early and dig. Then I'll buy a few large water tanks to put them in."

Lin Anru stopped to drink some water and take a rest while explaining things to her.

In fact, he hardly slept last night. With the lamp oil given by Chang Lin, he dug the soil until late at night before his wife took him to rest.

"Breakfast is in the pot. Go and take it out and eat it yourself." Liu told her.

Her husband was digging all the time, and Liu felt sorry for him, so she got up early, prepared breakfast, and then helped.

But she was not in good health, so Lin Anru just let her do some supporting work, doing Lin Shiyu's work yesterday, and the digging was still done by the father and son.

After Lin Shiyu finished her breakfast, she said hello to them and walked outside. Lin Boyu looked at her as she left, confused.

Early in the morning, he was pulled up by his mother by the ear to work. Her words implied that the work was very hard and the whole family had to contribute. Why was it different when it came to his sister?

Not only do I sleep until I wake up naturally, but I also go out to play after eating. Didn’t we all agree to contribute together?

If you want him to do more work, just tell him directly. His mother keeps making up all these bullshit excuses.

Liu didn't know what was going on in Lin Boyu's mind. She was carrying the soil while looking worriedly towards the direction of the gate.

……

Carrying her fishing rod and the earthworms she dug up on the road, Lin Shiyu came to the familiar spot by the river.

Wait for the fish to bite!
