Not to mention their Yamada Village, even the nearby villages have few idle people.

They stressed that the purchase of herbs must be kept confidential, but the news could not be kept secret.

After such a long time, everyone who is interested knows everything they should know.

As long as you can go out for a walk in your free time and earn some income, who would sit idle?

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I will let her work in the old house, and I will take over the chores in your house. You can find someone to replace me and go back home in the future. How do you think?"

It's just housework anyway, it doesn't matter where you do it.

"Of course it would be best if you could come and help, Mom!" Mrs. Liu expressed her warm welcome.

Having lived with my mother-in-law for more than ten years, Mrs. Lin has a bad temper, but she is very good at doing things, clean and efficient.

"I don't work for nothing." Old Mrs. Lin added: "Your family has to provide for my daily meals. In addition, you have to give me twenty wen per month as labor fee."

The old lady didn't take this money for herself.

Or it’s for the child I just brought.

From now on, I will give her the monthly wages and ask her to save them and use them as her dowry.

With parents like this, it’s hard to marry into a good family!

I hope to have some money so that my life will be better in the future.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed in detail the content of the work that needed to be done, and then Mrs. Lin took her people back.

……

"I just talked to your aunt. There are too many things to do in her family. I think you are still young and can't do it."

On the way home, Mrs. Lin, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke up to explain.

"Granny, I can do this."

Lin Shiyi's voice was very low, but she looked at Old Madam Lin with a firm look.

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shiyi's beautiful eyes, which looked very much like her second daughter-in-law. She was distracted for a moment and did not respond to her words in time.

Lin Shiyi didn't get a response, so she tugged at Mrs. Lin's sleeve with her little hand and answered firmly again: "I really can."

It is both possible and impossible.

She has been observant of people's words and expressions since she was a child and knows her current situation.

The only normal people in the family are her and her younger brother. Her younger brother is a boy. No matter how difficult the family is or how violent Lin Anxiang is, as the only boy in the family, his situation will not be too bad.

But she is different.

She is what everyone often calls a "money-losing girl". She has a low status in the family, and she has a mother who got pregnant before marriage and a cruel and ruthless elder sister.

Even though she didn't do anything, normal people would stay away from her because of these reasons.

Maybe as time goes by, these things will fade away, but they will always be remembered at critical moments.

For example - discussing marriage.

Would any normal family dare to want her?

Even if I really dare to want her, will I look down on her because of these things?

Or when they are getting along well with each other normally, they bring it up when there is a dispute.

Will he divorce her because of these things, leaving her alone and miserable in the next life?

……

What other girls of her age think about most is whether they can eat more food today.

When her eldest sister was still alive, what she thought about most was when she would grow up, get married, and escape from this home.

"grandmother……"

This was the only time she mustered up the courage to express her desire, but when there was no response, her courage faded.

"You can not!"

Old Mrs. Lin also spoke very firmly.

The third daughter-in-law didn't dare to accept her, and she was not at ease to put her in the third room.

After many years, San'er finally had the opportunity to work hard and the third room had a chance to make a name for itself. She would not allow any unstable factors to happen to San'er.

At least she is not allowed to let it go on her own.

Lin Shiyi lowered her head, even lower than usual.

Looking at her granddaughter who said nothing, Mrs. Lin sighed, "You really can't do it."

"I know, grandma."

"Good girl." Old Mrs. Lin patted her head. "You can't do it, but your grandma can. So I discussed with your third aunt, I will go to your third aunt's house to do the work, and you will come to your grandparents' house to do the work.

When the time comes, I will give you half of the wages I earn."

It was originally agreed that all of it would be given to her, but considering the child's age, Mrs. Lin decided to give her only half and keep the remaining half.

"Granny, really?"

"real!"

"Great, great!"

It was the first time that Lin Shiyi felt so happy, and it was also the first time that her family member, old lady Lin, saw her smile.

There was only one thought in my mind - it was so beautiful.

I don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse for her.

"Work hard at grandpa and grandma's house, don't be lazy, if you do a good job, grandma will give you money when the time comes."

"I got it, tits."

……

"Your grandma will come over tomorrow to take over your job, so you can study with peace of mind."

"Great."

Lin Boyu shouted with joy.

For a man who is determined to take the imperial examination, do you know how painful it is for him to be busy cooking and cleaning every day?

"Isn't my cousin here to help?"

Lin Shiyu didn't listen to the conversation between Mrs. Liu and Old Lady Lin, and thought that Lin Shiyi was coming to help.

"No, she can't do it, so your grandma does it."

Mrs. Liu did not tell the real reason and made up the same excuse as Mrs. Lin.

"Oh fine!"

Lin Shiyu had no requirements on who came over. Anyway, they came over to do chores and it wouldn't be of much help to her.

"I'll come out and help you when I'm tired of studying."

Seeing her indifferent expression, Lin Boyu couldn't help but speak.

He also recognizes the herbs that the family purchases, so there is no problem in helping.

But he is now focused on studying and can only help out when he is tired of studying.

"You're lucky enough to study hard. You should be thankful that you don't let the books your father left behind before he left home get moldy. I can't expect anything else from you." Liu said unhappily.

Yes, before Lin Anru left home, he left many books to his son. He had copied those books himself and filled them with notes.

Lin Boyu’s enlightenment stage has ended. He has learned all the necessary characters and is now starting the self-study stage.

"Mom, you just don't trust me. I'm studying every day now."

Lin Boyu was a little angry, sad and depressed.

"Think about what you were like in the past two months. How can I still trust you?"

Lin Boyu thought back to how he had treated studying before, his face turned red and he didn't dare to refute.

"It would be great if you could help me. Reading all the time is bad for your eyes. From now on, you can help me for a quarter of an hour for every half hour I read."

Lin Shiyu still very much agreed with him coming to help, as it would not only reduce her own burden, but also allow Lin Boyu to combine work and rest.

But it would be better if there was someone who could help me.

"It's settled. I won't give up studying, and I'll help you."

Lin Boyu ended the topic with the final word.

Those of you who are still reading, please click to urge the author to update, so that the author can have motivation to write. I don’t want to stay up late to write if no one reads.

Another thing is that the plot is too dragged out and too slow, and I doubt every day that the rhythm is not well written.
