However, she knew that most men here who were the same age as Lin Changting were either engaged or already married.

There are very few people like Lin Changting who were engaged but had their engagement broken off. It can only be said that he didn't know the person well. The girl was not someone who could share the joys and sorrows with him.

Then let Lin's mother take a closer look at him.

Lin Changting shook his head, his face expressionless and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

After a long time, a barely audible sigh was heard.

Lin Yunchu was shocked, thinking that his elder brother Lin Changting must have endured a lot these days. Anyone who encountered such a thing would feel bad.

However, there have been many things going on at home these days, so Lin Changting never told his family about this.

But in Lin Yunchu's opinion, this might not be a bad thing.

The Lin family's life is slowly getting better, and the eldest brother will meet someone who truly loves him in the future.

They didn't speak again until they reached the city gate. They got on the ox cart silently. Until they returned to Lin's house, even Lin's mother noticed something was wrong.

So he asked Lin Yunchu privately. In the end, Lin Yunchu simply told him the story without saying much. He just warned Lin's mother not to mention it in front of her eldest brother.

Mother Lin sighed. This matter has always been a hurdle in her heart. Her son's engagement was broken off in such a shameless way. The wedding was supposed to be less than a year away, but now it was like this.

But what Lin Yunchu said was right. It wasn't a bad thing if a girl from such a family didn't actually marry him.

Now the Lin family's life is gradually getting better. I will find a girl from a good family for Lin Changting after some time.

Almost half a month passed like this. Every day, the Lin family went into the mountains to pick mushrooms and break bamboo shoots, and delivered them to Yipin Pavilion in the town the next day.

After more than half a month, they had saved some money, and the Lin family's life became much easier. At least Lin's mother no longer felt sorry for the lard when she cooked every day.

The meals at home were always full of oil and water, and everyone's face was no longer as thin and sallow as before, but gradually became more rosy.

As usual, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting delivered the mushrooms and bamboo shoots they picked yesterday to Yipintang.

While Chuanzi was delivering the backpack to the kitchen, Manager Zhou pulled Lin Yunchu aside and asked quietly:

"Girl Yunchu, the customers who come to the restaurant nowadays are all here for the mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Can you please send more? I won't treat you unfairly, how about giving you a three-cent increase per pound?"

After spending these days together, Lin Yunchu and Shopkeeper Zhou became more familiar with each other, so Shopkeeper Zhou asked Lin Yunchu to call him "Uncle Zhou".

Shopkeeper Zhou was much older than Lin Yunchu, so he called her "Yunchu girl".

Hearing what Shopkeeper Zhou said, Lin Yunchu looked up in shock, and immediately understood what Shopkeeper Zhou meant.

But this is not a difficult task. Lin Yunchu didn't think much about it and nodded to Manager Zhou.

Seeing Lin Yunchu's reply, Manager Zhou immediately smiled.

Yipin Pavilion's business is booming these days, which makes him very happy. As its reputation spreads, if the customers come late, the mushrooms and bamboo shoots in the restaurant will be sold out.

The guests who came later were naturally dissatisfied. Manager Zhou had no choice but to ask Lin Yunchu to send more.

He also knew the situation of the Lin family, and these mushrooms and bamboo shoots had to be picked in the mountains, which was not easy. Unexpectedly, Lin Yunchu agreed immediately.

After taking today's silver and leaving Yipin Pavilion, Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting hurriedly bought some meat and some daily necessities and then rushed back to Qingxi Village.

I have to go back and discuss this matter with Lin's father as soon as possible. Once it is decided, I have to send more to Yipintang tomorrow. There is no time to delay.

Lin Changting looked at Lin Yunchu's appearance and had to hold back the words he was about to ask.

Lin Yunchu agreed to Manager Zhou's request so easily, but there weren't that many people in his family who could go into the mountains.

Lin Yunchu closed his eyes and rested until the ox cart stopped at the village entrance. Then he slowly opened his eyes, picked up the backpack and hurried back home with Lin Changting.

As soon as the two entered the yard, they saw Lin's father working in the yard.

Every time Lin Yunchu went into the mountains and saw some wild vegetables, he would pick them up along with them. His family needed to make some bamboo mats to dry the leftover wild vegetables and make them into dried vegetables.

When Father Lin is not working in the fields, he does some bamboo weaving work at home.

Seeing the courtyard gate open, I looked up and saw Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting walking in.

Father Lin's mouth suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and he said happily: "You are back. You are back early today."

Lin Yunchu was thinking about what happened to Manager Zhou today. She had already thought about this matter on the way back.

So he put down the backpack on his back, put the things he bought today into the main room, and put the meat, grain and other food into the kitchen.

Then he went to Lin's father, took a stool, sat down to rest, and repeated what Manager Zhou had said to Lin's father.

Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin's father was stunned at first and frowned slightly. It was a good thing that the price increased, but the Lin family could not afford to send so many people into the mountains.

But Lin Yunchu just said that she had already agreed to this matter. Lin's father was a little puzzled. He put down the work in his hands and looked up at Lin Yunchu.

"Let's take uncle and his family into the mountains to pick mushrooms together!"

When Lin Yunchu heard Manager Zhou mention this matter, he thought of Uncle Lin.

When she first came here, her uncle's family sent her eggs. It seemed that she had a very good relationship with their family.

Moreover, the situation of my uncle's family is not much better than that of the Lin family. Now that there is an opportunity to make money, naturally the first family that comes to mind is theirs.

Lin Yunchu was not worried about what would happen if this matter got out, because she believed that her uncle's family were not that kind of people.

Moreover, she had already agreed with Manager Zhou that Yipintang would only accept mushrooms and bamboo shoots from their Lin family.

Upon hearing what Lin Yunchu said, Lin's father naturally understood what Lin Yunchu was thinking. He had also thought about bringing his eldest brother and his family along before.

However, they had just found this way to make money, and Yipin Pavilion couldn't collect that much.

Now that it is Manager Zhou who has suggested it, it would be a good idea to invite my eldest brother and his family.

After all, life is not easy for anyone. If I can help my eldest brother and his family earn some money, they can live a better life.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Father Lin's face was full of joy.

"Dad, this is still possible. Go to your uncle's house and discuss it with him. If they agree, we can come to our house tomorrow morning and go into the mountains together."

Lin Yunchu asked his father to go and discuss with his uncle's family first to see if they were willing to go into the mountains with him.
