In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

The villagers felt a little better after taking the herbs home.

It had already happened, and even if they were unhappy, they couldn't change anything. And their village wasn't the one that suffered the most losses.

With Lin Shiyu's reminder, even the families who refused to listen at least kept some vegetables from their garden, so it was not a complete loss.

There is hurt only when there is comparison, and in this way, sadness is immediately transferred.

The villagers gradually brought the herbs back home, which suddenly gave them more space. The fields outside were bare and there were no herbs to pick to fill the gaps.

After living in their new home for a year, they have expanded the small house again and again, leaving plenty of space to store things.

"What's the point of leaving so many empty spaces? There's nothing to put in them."

Liu complained as she cleaned and tidied, saying that if the room had been vacated earlier, she could have bought more food and stored it.

Liu, who complained that there was nothing to put in the empty space, was slapped in the face that night.

When the villagers fell asleep, there was a knock on the Lin family's door.

"Why are you here so late at night?"

After opening the door and seeing the person coming, Liu welcomed the person in and asked in a low voice.

The person who came was the brother-in-law Chang Lin. He did not come alone, and there were three servants accompanying him.

"I brought two carts of food here. One is for my third brother and his wife, and the other is for my father-in-law, mother-in-law and my eldest and second brothers' families."

Chang Lin explained, pointing to the ox cart behind him.

Because he favored the third wife, he gave one of the two carts of grain to the third wife, so he visited the third wife first and then went to his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house, so that no one would know that he was biased.

"We still have food stored at home..."

"Then keep it and eat it slowly." Chang Lin interrupted Liu and waved his hand to have the food carried in, leaving Liu no chance to refuse.

We know that the entire county was affected by this locust plague.

Ordinary people will have a hard time in the future. No new grain to harvest means starvation, and no grain to pay taxes.

These have nothing to do with the Chang family. They have a lot of land, a lot of stored grain, and a small population. Even if they eat as much as they want, it will take them three to five years to finish all the food.

However, the Lin family is different. They are genuine farmers who rely on the land for their survival.

After the locust plague occurred, Lin Anyi, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, shamelessly asked her in-laws for help.

The Chang family originally had this plan, thinking of tidying up the damaged fields first and then sending the grain over after a while.

Unexpectedly, Lin Anyi, the daughter-in-law, spoke up at this time, and Mr. Chang asked the servants to deliver the food in advance.

She was the only daughter-in-law in his family, and she had given birth to a big fat grandson for the Chang family. This face had to be given, and given in full.

"Third sister-in-law, just accept it. This little grain is nothing to our family." Seeing Liu looking at him disapprovingly, Chang Lin had to let the servants continue to work. He tried to persuade them, "In two months, we will have to pay taxes. Even if you don't eat, you still have to pay taxes, right?"

Although a major disaster has occurred, don't expect the government to be kind enough to not collect taxes.

“Taxes can be offset by spending money.”

In fact, the grain they secretly stored was enough to pay the tax, but they couldn't tell outsiders about it, so they had to say that they would pay it with money.

It is common practice to use money to offset that.

"Having said that, I know your family has made money from collecting herbs, but you should save that money for my third brother to study. I'm still waiting for my third brother to get his academic honors so that I can borrow some of his light."

While they were talking, the servants had already carried down all the food and put it away.

Chang Lin stood up and stopped talking: "Third sister-in-law, it's getting late, you should go to bed early, I still have to pull another car to the old house."

Liu stood up to see him off.

"We secretly gave the car to Third Brother and Sister-in-law just now. Don't let her know when the time comes. This car also has a share for Third Brother and Sister-in-law. When father-in-law and his family divide it up tomorrow, you can just take it with peace of mind."

Before leaving, Chang Lin gave instructions.

Day two.

Lin Shiyi came early in the morning to inform everyone to go to the old house to collect food, but in order to prevent everyone from knowing that someone from the Lin family had sent food, Old Mrs. Lin specifically asked them to come to the old house in the evening to get it.

Not long after Liu closed the door, Lin Shiyi came over again.

"Grandma is calling everyone to go over and get food now."

Liu closed the door and walked towards the old house with a mind full of doubts.

It turned out that Chang Lin had sent another cart of food over after returning home, but this time the food was sent over openly.

As someone's son-in-law, it would be weird not to help when my wife's family is in trouble and my family is capable of doing so.

In the village, families whose daughters are married well will secretly subsidize their parents' home during this period.

There was nothing unusual about Chang Lin's behavior. The only unusual thing was that he brought much more food than others.

But what can we do? After all, Lin Anyi married well, right?!

After the food was delivered, Chang Lin said goodbye.

Having not slept for a whole night, he now had to rush home to have a good sleep.

"Bring the scale and divide the food into four portions, one portion for each family."

Mr. Lin called his eldest son to come and help and divided the cart of grain into four parts.

One of them belonged to the two elders, and the rest belonged to the three brothers.

After the grain was divided, Grandpa Lin and Lin Anji moved the portion belonging to the first and second wives to their own homes, while Grandma Lin, Ms. Sun, and Ms. Liu moved the portion belonging to the third wife back to her home.

The villagers' eyes were wide open as they watched the large sacks pass by them.

Although the food is not much, if they save it, the whole family can eat it until the end of the year.

"Isn't this too eye-catching?"

Sun asked anxiously after arriving at the third room.

"Don't sleep so deeply at night, or someone will come and steal your things."

After hearing what happened, Mrs. Lin gave the two some instructions before going home.

Now, Sun was even more worried.

She was very happy to get a batch of grain, but she was also afraid that the grain would cause trouble.

"Don't worry too much. People in our village are not so bad as to steal food." Liu comforted her: "At least there is nothing to worry about in the next one or two months."

Every household made some money last year, and the grain they grew was probably not sold for money except for paying taxes and eating, so the inventory should be a little more than in previous years.

"I hope..."

Sun was still a little worried.

After returning home and telling her husband, there was one more person who was worried.

"Don't think too much. We still have to go to the old house to move food tonight!"

This made Sun even more worried.

In the middle of the night, the Lin family went out again to the old house to move food.

Looking at the more food at home, Sun didn't even dare to sleep.

It's too conspicuous and will attract thieves.

Lin Shiyi woke up in the middle of the night and heard her parents mumbling to each other before going to bed. After asking around, she found out what they were worried about.

After thinking about it, I gave them an idea.
