The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

The third son was Old Lady Lin's darling, and when he was scolded by the old woman, he was ready to rush up and fight.

Lin Dahai hugged his mother with all his strength.

The two old ladies pointed at each other's noses and uttered all kinds of obscene words.

"You little thief, you stole things from my daughter and son-in-law! Look around, everyone, is Xialin Village specialized in this kind of petty theft?"

The daughters-in-law who married into Xialin Village were not happy about it.

"There are no such scums in Xialin Village. Auntie, please stop gossiping."

"That's right, Auntie, don't talk nonsense."

Chunxiuniang cried out: "That's my daughter's gift to me!"

"Oh! You can't even fill your own stomach. Chunxiu is not that kind of person. Are you going to feed other people's children when your own child is not full?" Old Mrs. Lin stared at Wang Chunxiu gloomily.

She was put under a high hat. If Wang Chunxiu admitted it, she would be disregarding the life and death of her child.

Wang Chunxiu was in a dilemma. If she admitted it, her mother-in-law's saliva alone would be enough to drown her. She didn't know what the sea would think in the future.

If she doesn't admit it, my mother will hate her and she won't be able to go back to her parents' home in the future.

"Alright!" Old Man Lin felt his face burning. The joy of being praised by the villagers for having a scholar in the past had been pulled down from the moment the family was divided, and at this moment it was even more crushed into the mud.

Old Man Lin opened the fence gate without saying a word, "If you want to quarrel, make a scene or fight, go outside!"

Although Mrs. Lin is domineering, she can't stand up in front of Old Man Lin.

Chunxiuniang was being pointed at and talked about, and she was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so she broke free from her daughter's hand, picked up the grain bag that had fallen to the ground, and limped away through the crowd.

The farce ended hastily. Old Mrs. Lin pointed at Wang Chunxiu's nose and cursed in a low voice, "You are a hopeless piece of mud."

Lin Xueer came back from outside and saw quite a few people outside the yard.

"Xiaoxue, your mother gave the food to your grandma again."

"Xiaoxue, your grandma and grandma were fighting fiercely just now."

"Xiaoxue..."

Lin Xiaoxue pinched her fingers. The group of troublesome people at home were holding her back every day.

She was coaxing Lin Xier outside, just thinking about this good family.

Now she was surrounded by a group of people and she felt completely ashamed. She didn't know what Lin Xier would say to laugh at her tomorrow.

Although she and her brother saved Lin Xier, as the older daughter of the village head Lin Dazhu, Lin Xier had been favored since childhood and was very arrogant. There was no one in Shanglin Village that she looked up to.

Even though she and her brother saved him, she still looked down on them.

Lin Xiaoxue stepped into the courtyard and held Wang Chunxiu, who had a stiff face and felt guilty, and said, "Mother, come in."

Wang Chunxiu finally reacted and followed her daughter into the house with unsteady steps.

When the villagers who were watching the show outside the fence saw Lin Dahai's wife enter the room, they felt that there was nothing fun to join in and left with laughter.

Old Mrs. Lin didn't dare to scold anymore because the old man was staring at her, otherwise she really wanted to point at Lin Dahai's nose and ask him to teach his wife a lesson.

How can we live if everything we do can be taken away by others?

"Take care of your wife." Mrs. Lin said this and walked into the house angrily. Old Man Lin glanced at his second son and said, "A man should stand up when he should. What are you thinking of if you hesitate?"

After saying this, he left, leaving the weeds in the field unpulled.

Lin Lichun was left looking at his father, picking at his fingernails awkwardly.

"Come in." Lin Dahai invited his son to come in.

Dad is right. There are some things that I should make clear to my wife.

The family is already poor, and my mother-in-law comes every now and then to complain about her poverty. Sooner or later, this family will break up.

Lin Dahai and Lin Lichun entered the house.

This room was rented with Lin Dajiang. Because of this room, the two older children, Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Lichun, had their own rooms.

But there is another Dongzhi at home, also a boy.

Sooner or later, the family will have to buy land and build a house. Even the simplest one will cost five or six taels of silver including the land purchase money.

"Chun Xiu, we should still honor our parents during the holidays, but don't give your money to support your brother and sister-in-law in the future."

"Boss, I..." Wang Chunxiu found it difficult to speak in front of the children.

She had no choice. If she didn't give the money, her mother would come to her every day and cry about being poor.

She also wanted to make her home quieter, so she gave the copper coins.

"Mom, if you give me one, I will give you two. You give grandma two copper coins today, and she will want four copper coins tomorrow. Her appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Our family is not a bottomless pit. What's more, we eat black flour porridge at night. I don't believe that my two uncles eat worse than us!" Lin Xiaoxue said in one breath.

"Besides, my brother keeps asking for meat. Why doesn't mom use the money she gave to grandma to buy meat for the family? Dad and brother work hard every day and are still growing during the winter solstice."

Speaking of meat, Lin Lichun swallowed subconsciously.

Lin Dahai's eyes darkened. When was the last time he ate meat?

It seemed to be the time when my nephew Jingzhe caught a sparrow.

Oh, that time didn’t count as eating meat, because the skinny sparrows didn’t have much meat on them.

Wang Chunxiu nodded, "I, I won't give it to you anymore."

"Chunxiu, just think about Lichun and Xiaoxue. Two years after Lichun, they will have to look for a wife, and Xiaoxue also has to look for her in-laws in advance. There are so many places to spend money..." Lin Dahai felt that the burden on his back was getting heavier and heavier, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Dad, Mom, last time my brother and I went to town, we saw a lot of food stalls. Mom, can you make pancakes?"

Wang Chunxiu shook her head. "You know that before we split up, my sister-in-law always made better food than I did."

Lin Xiaoxue was helpless. It seemed like she had no chance of cooking anymore.

She didn't give up and always felt that she should do something, so she said, "There are also people selling various bamboo baskets. I see that my brother has good craftsmanship, so we can make some baskets and sell them in town."

"Can what I made be sold?" Lin Lichun asked happily.

He had long wanted to help his parents make money, but unfortunately he never found the opportunity.

As expected, Xiaoxue's brain is more active.

Lin Xiaoxue had been to the town several times and saw several vendors selling bamboo baskets, and got a general understanding of the situation.

"Brother, you should do it more delicately. The town is different from the village. They all use bamboo baskets of different sizes."

In the past, Lin Lichun would just cut the bamboo strips casually, but when he heard his younger sister say that the bamboo baskets he made could also be sold, his mind flew to the backyard.

He wants to grind the bamboo strips for weaving baskets more finely.

City people are delicate, so don't let the bamboo basket cut their hands.

"Dad, Mom, and little sister, I'm going to the backyard to weave bamboo baskets." Lin Lichun couldn't wait to open the door and leave.

There are plenty of bamboos in the mountains. It doesn't cost much to weave bamboo baskets. It just takes some effort, but he has plenty of effort.

At this moment, Lin Lichun was full of energy and wanted to make the delicate bamboo basket that his younger sister mentioned.

As long as you can sell it, you make a profit.

When the products sell well, he will ask his cousin Lin Jingzhe to do it together. Lin Lichun laughed as he thought about it.
