I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

I can't cause trouble for their family.

Pan Xiuxiu secretly made up her mind that she would never tell anyone about what happened in town today when she returned.

Lin Yunchu didn't expect Pan Xiuxiu to be so smart, so he went straight to the rice shop.

Shopkeeper Zhou said that a lot of fermented black beans were needed, so Lin Yunchu bought fifty kilograms, thinking that if it was not enough, he could just buy some in the village.

Many families in the village also grow soybeans. If Lin Yunchu is willing to pay for them, there will still be many people willing to sell them.

After buying the things, they hurried to the city gate.

When we returned to Qingxi Village, it was just past noon.

"Thank you so much for today."

Pan Xiuxiu got off the ox cart and thanked Lin Yunchu and the other two, saying, "If it weren't for you guys helping me, today wouldn't have been so smooth."

Pan Xiuxiu was thinking about how to thank Lin Yunchu and the other two. She remembered that she only had half a pound of pork on her, which she had bought to nourish her father. She really couldn't afford to buy anything else.

He could only say thank you dryly, looked up at Lin Changting embarrassedly, and then immediately lowered his head embarrassedly.

"It's okay, Sister Xiuxiu, it's just on the way, don't take it to heart."

Pan Xiuxiu was quite honest. Lin Yunchu saw her embarrassment and waved at her.

Today's matter was indeed a matter of convenience, and it didn't take much effort. We are all from the same village, so we can't just pretend not to see each other when we meet.

The Pan family is having a harder time than the Lin family did in the past. If they don't lend a hand today, Pan Xiuxiu will probably have to come back with that basket of eggs again.

Even the medicine for Mr. Pan might not be available.

"Then... I'll go back first."

Pan Xiuxiu said in a low voice, turned around and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her head and walked quickly back home.

If the villagers saw her coming back with the Lin family, she was afraid that there would be trouble again, so she had better go back quickly.

Lin Yunchu retracted his raised hand and swallowed the words he was about to say.

How could he run away so quickly? Never mind, we’ll meet again if we’re from the same village.

Lin Yunchu took out thirty copper coins and handed them to Old Man Niu. The three of them picked up their backpacks and walked back to the Lin family.

Lin.

Lin's mother was washing the fermented black bean leaves she had just cut in the yard. Lin Yunchu said that he wanted to make fermented black beans today, so he soaked the last bag of soybeans in the house last night, and they could start cooking when he came back later.

Lin's mother had followed Lin Yunchu to harvest these fermented black bean leaves several times and recognized them.

After finishing the housework, she went out to cut a basket of grass. Now that she had nothing to do, she washed it first, let it dry and could use it later.

When I was halfway through washing, I saw Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting coming back.

Mother Lin stood up in surprise, wiped the water droplets on her apron, and helped take off the backpacks on the two people's backs and put them into the house.

Then he said, "Why didn't your eldest brother come with you? I cooked some extra lunch for you."

Mother Lin was smiling. Whenever Lin Yunchu and the other two went to town, she would leave food for them and just wait for them to come back and heat it up before eating.

Lin Yunchu poured two bowls of tea, handed one to his elder brother Lin Changting first, and then picked up the other bowl, tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp.

Only then did he feel much more comfortable. He turned around and responded to Lin's mother, "Brother said he wouldn't come and went back directly."

Lin Yunchu smiled, but she didn't directly expose that Lin Changping was afraid to come to the Lin family for dinner.

It must be that my uncle Lin Qingshan secretly told me this.

Lin Qingshan always felt that he had a large family and couldn't always come to the Lin family for meals. After all, food was precious at everyone's home at that time, so how could he just take it out and eat and drink like this?

Now the Lin family takes Lin Qingshan's family into the mountains to pick mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and also takes them to make loquat paste to make money.

Lin Qingshan's family is now living a much better life than before, and they have also bought some land. Now Lin Qingshan's family is very motivated. Except when they go into the mountains, they are busy working in the fields in their free time.

So Lin Yunchu didn't insist, as there would be many opportunities for the two families to have meals together in the future.

If it can make Lin Qingshan feel better, then just go along with them.

After putting away the things he bought in the town, Lin Changting didn't even have time to rest. He picked up the hoe and said he was going to the fields to help his father Lin and others.

Lin Yunchu went to the kitchen to check the soybeans that he had soaked last night. Seeing that they were ready, he lit the fire and started to boil the soybeans to make fermented black beans.

After closing the lid and throwing a piece of firewood into the stove, Lin Yunchu turned around and left the kitchen.

Lin Yunchu went to the yard to wash the fermented black bean leaves with Lin's mother. Thinking about what happened today, he asked Lin's mother about Pan Xiuxiu.

After a long time, Mother Lin sighed heavily, and then told Lin Yunchu about the Pan family.

"Alas, Xiuxiu's life is truly miserable. Her mother passed away when she was very young. Just when her life was finally starting to get better, her father broke his leg again."

"My leg is injured, so I can't do any work in town. I used to be able to barely make ends meet with the land at home, but medicine costs money. We've sold all the land that can be sold at the Pan family, and there are only two acres left."

When talking about the Pan family, Lin's mother kept shaking her head.

"Xiuxiu's father used to earn some money working in town, and they could get by. Who could have imagined that something bad would happen? The Pan family used to have some relatives visiting, but since that incident, I haven't seen any of them around anymore."

This is what the fickleness of human nature means. "If we encounter something in our daily lives and can help, we should just help."

After hearing about the Pan family's story, Lin Yunchu had only one word to describe it: miserable.

That's really miserable.

Then Lin Yunchu thought of the look Pan Xiuxiu had given his eldest brother today, and suddenly became interested. He asked Lin's mother one more question: "What kind of person is Sister Xiuxiu?"

It doesn't matter if the family is poor. As long as she is a good person, Lin Yunchu has no objection to Pan Xiuxiu being his sister-in-law.

Looking at Pan Xiuxiu's expression today, she felt that even if she was not interested in her wooden elder brother, she at least had some good impression of him.

She would first inquire around to see if it was suitable for her older brother who was a bit tongue-tied and dull.

When Mother Lin heard Lin Yunchu's question, she smiled and began to praise him, "Xiuxiu is a good-natured child and works hard. Last time, she saw me digging wild vegetables in the fields and she helped me..."

When Lin's mother mentioned Pan Xiuxiu, she had nothing but good things to say about her. Except for the fact that her family's situation was a little bad and she was a little shy when she saw her eldest brother, everything else was fine.

She is much better than the girl that my eldest brother was engaged to before.

Lin Yunchu originally wanted to bring this up to his mother, but after thinking it over he decided to swallow it.

Forget it, let’s just wait and see. This matter hasn’t even started yet, and it would be bad to speak rashly.
