The female supporting character in the quick-wear drama is rebellious and loves to cause trouble for

Lin Sheng had known that he would react like this, and was not angry. Instead, he said seriously, "Mother knows that you, Sanlang, are the most filial one in our family."

Before Qin Sanlang could show his surprise, he heard his mother continue: "You are the eldest son in the family. Your father is gone, so you are the pillar of the family. I just woke up, and my body is still very weak. I am pregnant, so I must eat something good to replenish my body."

She pointed at the little kids on the kang who were so skinny that only their heads were left. "Look at your eldest sister and two younger brothers. They are much smaller than the kids of the same age in Old Qin's family. Do you have the heart to let them starve with you? So,"

Lin Sheng showed a very gratified smile on his face again: "The task of mourning for your father will be fully entrusted to you."

In ancient times, there was indeed a saying that a wife would mourn for her husband for three years, but this was not mandatory because in that era of low productivity, one of the indicators of a country's strength was its population.

In this parallel world, up to now, ideas similar to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism of "preserving the principles of heaven and eliminating human desires" have not yet emerged, and widows are strongly encouraged to remarry.

But in ordinary people's homes, those rules are basically just for show.

But that

Qin Sanlang was a little confused. Isn't mourning just eating vegetarian food? They didn't have a single bite of meat in the Qin family all year round. What's the difference between mourning and mourning? They just need to do it for others to see. Why do they want him to do it for them?

However, mourning for his father was his duty as a son, and he had no choice but to do it. He didn't think about the tricks, but bowed to his mother and said, "Son, I understand."

Lin Sheng nodded with satisfaction. Wouldn’t it be good to have one less person to share the meat?

So she asked excitedly, "Ah Qing, are there any eggs at home?"

Lin Qing didn't understand, but answered honestly: "I saved 22 of them before, and I haven't taken them to the market to sell yet."

The hill where Linjia Village is located is relatively barren, and it is difficult to rely entirely on hunting for a living.

Hunters in the Southern Liang Dynasty were not allowed to farm, so he could only raise a few hens to lay eggs to supplement his life.

Lin Sheng said generously: "Then let's cook all of it. The leftovers can be used as breakfast tomorrow."

"What?" The four children in the room were all stunned by her bold words. Lin Qing scratched her ears subconsciously and asked again uncertainly: "Sister, did you just say that you want me to boil all 22 eggs and eat them?"

"Yes!" Lin Sheng even counted his fingers: "I've been hungry all day, so I'll just eat 10 to get by. I'll give each of you one of the small ones, and the rest will be yours. By the way,"

As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Sanlang again: "And Sanlang, he has to observe mourning and cannot eat meat, so go to the jar and scoop a ladle of cold water to drink. My eldest son has been running around all day and is very tired. He can't go to bed hungry."

Qin Sanlang, who originally thought he would have eggs to eat, almost slipped and fell backwards. Even if he was not given eggs, he should at least be given some warm water to drink.

Si Niang suddenly burst out laughing: "I fetched a bucket of water for mother earlier, thinking that mother would drink enough water before reincarnation. It just so happens that I brought the bucket with me, so I'll give it to you, third brother. I guarantee that you will be able to drink enough water."

This bucket was given to her by Brother Dashan when he saw her sitting by the well crying. He forgot to give it to someone else when he left. I don’t know if there will be another opportunity like that in the future.

Lin Qing originally wanted to say that these 20-odd eggs were enough to set up several tables of banquets in the village, but suddenly he thought of the more than 9500 taels in his arms and the taels that he was about to receive, so he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

The ginseng that my second sister has is enough for her to eat eggs for a lifetime, so why should I be reluctant to give it up?

Thinking of this, he didn't waste any more time and turned directly to the stove to light a fire.

Lin Sheng looked at Qin Sanlang, who was already a little dazed, and almost sneered. This is just the beginning. When we enjoy the good life in the future, you will still have to suffer.

Qin Sanlang had regretted it a long time ago, and he finally understood the ultimate meaning of "disaster comes from the mouth".

Why is he being so filial for no reason? Doesn't he have any resentment towards his father?

All the men in the family could read and write, except him and his two younger brothers. The other sisters had all worn new clothes, but his younger sisters had to wear the worn-out clothes picked up from their sisters.

The little uncle finally managed to hunt down a chicken, but he couldn't bear to eat it himself. He eagerly roasted it and wanted his mother and others to have some meat. However, the foolishly filial father snatched it away and gave it to his grandparents.

When he saw his two brothers disdainfully throwing half-eaten chicken legs on the ground to feed the dog, he almost took the sickle in his hand and went out to chop them up.

But he could do nothing. The word "filial piety" was enough to make him unable to raise his head.

In the eyes of others, it is the duty to use good things to support grandparents, and no one will say a word against it no matter how much you say it.

He glanced at his mother who was eating boiled eggs with her eyes narrowed, and suddenly thought of the scene he saw that day:

Two days before the notice of conscription was issued, Lin Qing went to the Qin family.

He knew that the Qin family would never give Qin Lao Er the 10 taels of silver as tax exemption money.

After he paid his share, he borrowed some more from people he was close to to make up the total and sent it over specially.

Who knew that the second sister refused without hesitation: "Take this money back quickly. I'm looking for a girl for you recently. You can't do without any money."

Lin Qing stuffed the purse into her hand again: "My wife is not as important as my brother-in-law's life, sister, just take it."

The second sister curled her lips and sneered, "Your brother-in-law is now full of confidence and wants to make achievements on the battlefield and win an imperial decree for his mother. If you give him money to exempt him from military service now, won't he blame you for delaying his becoming a general in the future?"

Lin Qing's head was buzzing. He really wanted to grab Qin Laoer's hair and slam his head against a tree for an hour to help him squeeze out all the water in his brain.

Even the fools in their village knew how dangerous war was, let alone those of them who were conscripted into the army. If it weren't for their incredible luck, they would basically have no chance of returning. How could they still dream of becoming great generals?

"Then sister, shall we just ignore our brother-in-law? What will happen to you and the child if he dies?" When he was alive, both mother and children had a hard time. If he is dead, can they still stay in the Qin family?

The second sister shook her head: "How bad can it be? As long as they don't sell my child, I can endure any hardship or fatigue."

In the end, Lin Qing had no choice but to take back the silver.
