Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Su Yunru looked up and saw Lin Qiutao's deliberately flattering face, and she immediately understood what was going on.

She lowered her head and pouted in annoyance.

"Oh, no, no, we'll be done in no time."

Zhu Jinhui seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly avoided the hand that Lin Qiutou extended.

Lin Qiutou's hands froze in place awkwardly, then she thought of something, picked up her basket, and grabbed two handfuls of wild vegetables.

"Aunt, these are the wild vegetables I just dug. They are so fresh and tender."

Zhu Jinhui didn't want any of it at all. The wild vegetable was bitter and astringent.

Just when he was about to refuse, he saw Lin Qiutou's deliberately flattering smile and changed his mind and accepted it.

She smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Qiu Tao."

"You're welcome, Auntie. If you like it, I'll pick more next time."

Lin Qiutao was secretly proud of herself.

Su Yunzhi is handsome, has a good family background, is well-educated, and is kind to others. How could such a good man be left to that bitch Lin Yinan? She swore to snatch Su Yunzhi from Lin Yinan.

Even if I can't snatch her away, I will ruin her marriage.

On the way back, Su Yunru whispered to Zhu Jinhui, "Mom, Lin Qiutao is clearly targeting my brother, why do you still want her wild vegetables?"

Zhu Jinhui looked at her simple-minded daughter and sighed, "Ruru, you don't understand."

Su Yunru pouted angrily and kicked the stones under her feet. She knew very well in her heart that her mother looked down on Lin Yinan and felt that she was not worthy of her brother in terms of family background or character, so she was secretly looking for an opportunity to cancel the engagement.

Lin Yinan walked around in the dense forest and harvested three pheasants, five rabbits, and thirty or forty bird eggs.

Seeing her coming back, Lin Yian, Lu Changqing and Lin Yichun surrounded her.

Lin Yian, "Sister, I want to eat meat."

Lin Yichun's mouth was drooling, "Big sister, I want to eat too."

Lin Yinan looked down at the silent Lu Changqing and asked him softly, "Changqing, do you want to eat meat?"

Lu Changqing looked at her with his watery eyes, pursed his lips, and nodded his little head vigorously.

"Okay, let's cook meat tonight."

In the camp, Lin Shuo, Lin Yiheng and Lin Yizhang were pounding corn into powder using a pestle and mortar.

Li Shulan had already dug up enough wild vegetables and was helping out now.

Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhang poured the ground flour into a large wooden basin, added water to knead it into dough, and mixed it with washed and chopped wild vegetables to make wild vegetable dumplings.

When everyone saw Lin Yinan coming back with wild vegetables and rabbits hanging on his body, their faces were filled with bright smiles.

Old Mrs. Zhao said, "Oh, how come you killed so many wild animals?"

Lin Shuo grinned, "Anan is really getting more and more capable."

Li Shulan brought a bowl of water, "Drink some water, it's already boiled and cooled down."

Lin Yinan took the bowl and drank it all, then raised his hand to wipe his mouth.

"Oh, your child." Li Shulan's hand holding the handkerchief froze in mid-air.

Lin Yinan pretended not to see it. She was not her original self and did not have the habits of a lady from a noble family. She did not want to compromise herself just to please others.

She turned around and asked Old Lady Zhao, "Grandma, let's have braised rabbit tonight."

"Grandma, eat the braised rabbit."

"I want to eat meat."

Lin Yisong and Lin Yian looked at Old Lady Zhao with pleading eyes.

"Okay! Okay, we'll stew the rabbit meat for dinner." Old Mrs. Zhao looked at her children and grandchildren lovingly.

Lin Yirong scooped out half a bucket of boiled water from another pot.

"Sister, let's go to the stream and kill rabbits."

"Get a basket to put it in." Zhang quickly handed over a basket.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhao reminded them, "Leave the rabbit's fur, and pickle the pheasant with salt when the time comes."

Lin Yirong has been with Zhang since she was young and is very good at doing housework.

She added some cold water to the bucket, then put three pheasants in to scald them one by one, turning them over constantly to ensure that all parts of the pheasants were scalded. After scalding, she took the pheasants out and plucked their feathers.

Lin Yinan was originally afraid that she didn't know how to do it and wanted to teach her. Now that he saw that she was very skillful, he took out a dagger and started to skin the rabbit.

Lin Yirong, "Sister, how can you skin a rabbit?"

Lin Yinan, "I learned it from a martial arts master before."

The two sisters were talking in low voices when Yun Mo and Yun Er, each carrying five or six badgers on their backs, came out of the forest.

"Hey, little girl, you have a good harvest!" Yun Er said to Lin Yinan while looking at the basket and the wild animals on the ground.

Lin Yinan glanced at the string of badgers on their shoulders and said, "Same here."

Yun Mo untied two fatter badgers and threw them in front of Lin Yinan.

"A thank you gift for you."

"A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. He does not accept gifts without merit. I don't remember ever helping you, sir."

Lin Yinan doesn't have the habit of taking other people's things casually.

Yun Mo frowned, "Thank you for helping us out in Jiancheng."

That was indeed what she should do, after all, she had saved them from a lot of trouble.

"A thank you gift is enough."

"Miss, you are kind-hearted, please don't refuse." Yun Mo insisted on sending her off.

"What are you refusing for?" Su Yunzhi came over carrying a bucket and looked at Lin Yinan with a smile.

Yun Er smiled and blocked his sight, "Master Su, don't you know that in Jiancheng..."

He told Su Yunzhi what happened in Jiancheng and praised Lin Yinan's kung fu and archery skills again and again.

Lin Yinan did not deny it. There were quite a lot of people there at the time, and Su Yunzhi would know it sooner or later.

Su Yunzhi was very surprised. He knew that Lin Yinan was interested in martial arts and thought she had only learned some fancy moves. He didn't expect that her skills were so amazing.

Yun Er thought he would see embarrassment on Su Yunzhi's face. Most of the scholars in the world would not like a woman who wielded swords and guns.

But it didn't happen. On the contrary, Su Yunzhi didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he felt proud that his future lady was so capable.

He walked around Yun Er and came in front of Lin Yinan, his eyes so gentle that tears could drip out of them.

He stretched out his hand and habitually wanted to rub Lin Yinan's head, but she subconsciously dodged it.

Su Yunzhi didn't take it seriously, realizing that there were outsiders present and that his behavior was too aggressive.

Lin Yinan has developed a personality over the past decade that makes him not like to be too close to others.

Yun Mo's face darkened. He threw the prey on his shoulder to Yun Qi and the guards who had hurried over, then left.

He didn't know why he was angry.

Lin Yinan pulled two water plants from the stream, picked up the basket with two skinned rabbits, tied them up and handed them to Su Yunzhi.

"Take these two rabbits back and let your uncle and aunt have a fresh meal."

Su Yunzhi quickly refused, "No need, I brought a lot of pickled meat with me when I left home."

"Just consider it as a small token of my appreciation." Lin Yinan insisted.

Many people saw her catch the prey. Since the two families are related, it would be unreasonable not to give her face.

"Thank you, Anan!"

Not wanting to reject Anan's kindness, Su Yunzhi took the rabbit, his heart bubbling with joy.

"Mr. Su, what a coincidence, you are here too."

A pretentious voice sounded behind everyone.

Yun Er's hand holding the dagger shook and he almost cut himself.

He turned to look at the person who came, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly glanced at Su Yunzhi and Lin Yinan, with an expression of watching a good show on his face.
