It would cost a lot of money to bring so many things. Although the Lin family's life is getting better now, they can't bring so many things to the Xie family.

Lin Yunchu sat by the fire and relaxed for a while until his hands and feet gradually warmed up. He then had some free time and began to look around the Xie family's house.

I saw that the Xie family's house was not small, but there were not many things placed there. Most of the tables, chairs and shelves looked like they had been used for many years.

It seems that the situation of the Lin family is similar to when she first arrived. It seems that the Xie family is not having an easy time these days.

Lin Yunchu sighed secretly, thinking about what he had agreed with the Xie family before. When the mushrooms grow, he will take the Xie family to pick mushrooms together, which should make the Xie family's life easier.

She had heard from Lin's mother and Lin Changting that when the Lin family was having a hard time in the past, the Xie family would often secretly subsidize Lin's mother no matter how difficult the situation was.

Afraid that the Lin family's children would go hungry, now that the Lin family's life is much better, it is natural for them to help the Xie family. Lin Yunchu thought about it and decided to wait until spring to let the Xie family plant potatoes together.

There were still some potatoes left over from the Lin family, enough for the Xie family to take some over as seeds. As long as the potatoes were grown, she would have plenty of ways to turn them into delicious foods and sell them.

However, she would discuss this matter with Lin's father in private later, and then mention it to the Xie family to see what they think.

After everyone chatted for a while, Li took Xie Chunjiao to the kitchen to start working. Now it was winter and the daytime was short, so they had to cook quickly and wait for everyone in the Lin family to eat. They had to rush back to Qingxi Village later. If they waited until dark, the road would be difficult to travel.

Seeing that the crowd was gradually dispersing, Old Mrs. Xie pulled Lin's mother into the inner room and talked to her in private.

"You kid, just come back, why do you bring so many things? How much money must it cost?"

It sounded like Old Lady Xie was blaming Mother Lin for what she said, but actually she was afraid of wasting money. The Xie family couldn't buy so many things with the money they had now, so why did the child bring so many things to the Xie family?

That cloth is so expensive. It would be great to save it to make new clothes for Changping's children. They still have clothes to wear now, and they can still get by with some mending.

"Mother, please don't worry about this. This is all discussed between the child's father and me. It didn't cost much money. The Lin family is doing much better now, so you don't have to worry."

Mother Lin knew that Old Lady Xie was just being thrifty with her money, so she wanted her to save it all so that it would be useful in the future.

"Here is some silver as a gift to you and Dad."

After saying this, Mother Lin took out a purse from her pocket, which contained two taels of silver, and handed it to Old Lady Xie.

Seeing this, Old Lady Xie waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, I can't accept this."

How can you accept money from your own daughter and son-in-law?

Old Mrs. Xie had a serious expression on her face, and the purse looked heavy, probably containing a lot of silver. How could she accept it?

What's more, the Lin family brought so many things when they came just now, and those things also cost a lot of money.

"Mother, please accept it. Life is even harder now that winter has arrived."

Mother Lin stuffed the purse in her hand into Old Lady Xie's hand and said, "Besides, Xie Ping and Xie An are also of marriageable age, and Gillian is also a grown-up girl. We should always make some good arrangements."

Mother Lin thought about how she had just seen Xie Chunjiao, who not only had no jewelry on her body, but also wore clothes with patches on them. It was New Year's Day, and that outfit was probably her best one.

At this age when she is as beautiful as a flower, she should dress up well. When the mushrooms in the mountains grow, they will take the Xie family to pick mushrooms together. Their lives will gradually get better, and Chunjiao will be able to find a good marriage by then.

Moreover, Lin's mother also knew about the Xie family's life. She was afraid that the family did not have much money. It would take some time before that time came. The Xie family had to make ends meet.

After hearing what Lin's mother said, Mrs. Xie was finally moved. Her eyes turned slightly red and she felt more grateful to her daughter and son-in-law.

How could the Xie family not know about the rumors in the village about the marriages of the Xie family's children? They just pretended not to care.

Everyone in the Xie family was also very worried, but there was no rush.

Moreover, Lin's mother often brought back some food and daily necessities for them, so life at home was manageable.

When the mushrooms in the mountains grow, they will follow the Lin family to pick mushrooms, and then life will gradually get better.

Lin Yunchu also found Lin's father and privately mentioned to him that he planned to let the Xie family grow some potatoes with them, and asked Lin's father to ask his grandfather and uncles for their opinions after dinner.

When Father Lin heard Lin Yunchu say this, he naturally guessed what Lin Yunchu was thinking.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded to Lin Yunchu. This is a good thing. The potato yield is high. Even if it is kept as food for the family, it is good. At least it can allow the family to have enough food.

After dinner, he would bring this up with the Xie family to see what they thought.

In the Xie family yard, Xie Ping and Xie An were playing with Lin Changshun and Lin Changan, and no one knew what they were doing until Mrs. Li called out "It's time for dinner", and then they hurried into the house.

Everyone started to get busy. Although the food prepared by Mrs. Li did not include any big fish or meat, the portions were sufficient. There were many people coming today, and if they prepared less, it might not be enough.

The Lin family looked at the food without saying much. Although their lives were much better now and they had meat for every meal, the Xie family was able to make so many dishes today, which meant they must have used the best of their family.

Fortunately, Lin's mother prepared a lot of rice and flour today, and also brought meat and eggs. Otherwise, I would be really worried that the Xie family would have to eat coarse food after I return home.

Father Lin kept chatting with Old Man Xie and his two brothers-in-law with a smile on his face until they had finished their meal and put down their bowls and chopsticks. Only then did he mention to everyone in the Xie family in the room what Lin Yunchu had just told him.

The Xie family still didn't know what the potato that Lin's father was talking about was. Finally, Lin's father explained it to everyone in detail, and then everyone in the Xie family understood.

"So, the yield of these potatoes is higher than other crops in the field?"

Father Lin told the story of how they harvested their own potatoes before winter. Old Man Xie widened his eyes and was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

"Is this... is this true?"

He looked towards Lin's mother and waited nervously for her answer.

It wasn't until he saw Lin's mother nodded at him affirmatively that he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: It turns out there are such good things!
