After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"Shen Qingzhou, your books are still in the carriage. I'll get them for you. You should keep your study materials safe."

Lin Ting hadn't noticed the changes on the bed yet. He pushed Shen Qingzhou in and went about his business.

Lin Ting went to the carriage to take the things down, and it took him two trips to move all the things.

Some of the things here belong to her and Shen Wanyi, and some of them are Shen Qingzhou's clothes and his bookcase.

He now has more books and his bookcase is heavier.

The bookcase was placed next to the table. Lin Ting originally wanted to put his clothes on the mat where he slept, but when he got closer, he found that his mat was not made properly.

Lin Ting turned her head and looked at him, and Shen Qingzhou was also looking at her. Lin Ting couldn't understand the deep emotion in his eyes.

As soon as she put down the clothes in her hands, she hurried to help him spread the mat on the floor.

Shen Qingzhou took a deep breath, feeling a little lost and helpless. He turned around and took out his book to read. He still had an article to finish.

"Shen Qingzhou, I've already made the bed for you. If you're tired, just take a shower and go to bed."

Shen Qingzhou nodded: "I understand."

Lin Ting felt that his tone was a little off, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Instead, he went to Brother Shen Zu's house with the work records.

When she arrived at the Shen family's gate, Lin Ting didn't even need to call anyone. Liu and Shen Zuxiong had already prepared benches, and asked the brothers Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong to wait for her at the door.

Brother Shen Zhu's family is barely making ends meet, and they usually can't even light the oil lamp, so they light it for Lin Ting tonight.

Even Shen's mother came out and sat beside them, craning her neck to watch.

"Lin Ting, come quickly and sit on this stool. This is the new stool made by Brother Zhu. It's the newest one in our family, hehe..."

Lin Ting sat down. She was also very tired and wanted to finish the bill as soon as possible.

"Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, you guys take a seat too."

Opening the work records, the part about feeding horses was recorded by Lin Ting himself, while the part about chopping wood was recorded by the village chief.

"Let me first calculate the number of days you have to feed the horses. When I was in the county town, you didn't have to feed them. This month you have fed them for a total of seventeen days, at eight coins a day.

That's one hundred and thirty-eight coins. You two can do the math, right?"

There is no need to count anymore. The family of four nodded to Lin Ting. They have been counting every day for just a few days and have counted until they are tired of it. This is the number.

"Yes, sister-in-law."

Lin Ting took out a string of copper coins from the cloth bag and handed it to Shen Zhuang. This string was worth one hundred coins. She then counted out thirty-six loose copper coins and gave them the same to them.

Liu stretched out her hand, intending to ask Lin Ting to give the money directly to her, but Lin Ting bypassed her and gave it directly to her two sons.

"Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, this is the income from your labor, this is your money."

The two counted the silver again, and when they found the amount was correct, they looked at Lin Ting with a silly smile and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

This was the first time the two of them had earned so much money.

Even if grandma didn't give them food, with this silver, they could buy enough broken rice to survive.

Anyway, if they can hold on for another two months, the rice in the field will be ripe, and the most difficult time for their family will be over.

"I'll also count the wood you two chopped, and I'll give the silver to you. You can decide how to divide it."

The two nodded, agreeing with what Lin had heard.

Lin Ting also looked at the records. Dry firewood cost one cent for three catties, and green firewood cost one cent for six catties.

"You have chopped a total of 3,000 jin of dry firewood. At 3 jin for one wen, that's 1,000 wen, or one liang of silver."

Lin Ting knew without hesitation that there was so much firewood. Behind Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, there were Shen Zuxiong and Liu helping them to chop the firewood, otherwise it would be impossible for them to chop so much firewood.

"Shen Zhuang's father, did you hear that? One tael of silver, one tael, hehe..."

Liu was very excited. Fortunately, she was smart and took her family of four to the mountain to chop wood, which is why she got so much silver.

Lin Ting continued, "You still have some firewood, a total of 1,200 jin. Firewood costs one wen for every six jin, so that's 200 wen."

How many people were able to find so much dry firewood on the mountain? I guess all the dry firewood within a dozen miles of the nearby mountains must have been chopped down by them.

But Lin Ting had just seen at the new house that there was so much firewood that even after the house was finished, it would still be enough for her family to burn for one to two years.

"Shen Zhuang, give me some silver."

Similarly, Lin Ting still gave the silver to Shen Zhuang, and the silver had to be settled in person.

Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong counted all the silver and found that what they got was one tael of silver and three hundred and thirty-six coins.

"Sister-in-law, everything is correct, the silver is correct."

"That's right!"

Lin Ting put the things into the cloth bag. She got just enough silver, and there was not even a penny more in the bag.

"By the way, Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, please don't chop firewood this month. There's too much firewood in the new house. We can't burn it all, and there's no place to put it.

You guys just help me feed the horses this month, and we'll call you when we need to chop wood."

With just one sentence, Liu's smile instantly stopped.

"No, this... this firewood is not going to be cut? We still have many hills to visit.

So, Lin Ting, if you don't have a place to put it, you can put it in our yard. When you finish burning the firewood, I will send it to your new house. It will be the same."

Shen Zhuxiong also agreed: "Yes, you see, you don't know when your house will be completed. How can you do it without firewood?"

There are trees everywhere on the mountain, which is also the most profitable item for Shen Zhuxiong's family. They feel that they have lost a lot of money if they are not allowed to cut them down by Lin Ting.

"No need, let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk later if necessary."

Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong didn't say anything. In short, it was already very good that Lin Ting let them feed the horses.

After everything was settled, Lin Ting was about to get up and leave, not noticing that Shen's mother was sticking her head out from behind her.

When she stood up, her head hit Shen's mother's chin directly. She closed her eyes in pain, and it took Shen's mother a while to speak.

"You wanted to kill me, you knocked my jaw off, pay me."

Lin Ting's head hurt so much that she almost fainted. It took her a long time to recover.

"I'll compensate you, but you have to ask my fist if it agrees."

Mother Shen's bones had only recently healed, and she was still instinctively a little scared when facing Lin Ting.

And she really would hit back. Shen Rou was beaten so badly by her that she can only lie in bed until now.

"I am your elder, and you pay me wages, but you don't even think of giving some to honor me."

Lin Ting laughed immediately, turned the cloth bag in his hand over and shook it.

"Oh, it's gone..."

After saying that, she left by herself, and Shen's mother behind her was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.

"Bitch! Unfilial behavior will be punished by lightning..."

Before Shen's mother finished speaking, Lin Ting turned around, and his cold temperament made her swallow the rest of her words.
