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

"We've already eaten, mother-in-law. Are you and father-in-law going out?"

Seeing the two of them getting ready to go out, Lin Ting asked.

"Yeah, we're splitting up now, and we've finished all the work in the fields. There's nothing else to do, so your father-in-law and I decided to dig some dirt and make some adobe bricks. We'll have to move out sometime."

"It's good that you know to move out. It's shameless to still occupy someone else's house after the family split up."

Liu Shiying started cursing as soon as she saw people, because she felt particularly wronged today and thought that Shen Dali and his family had left.

They could have gotten more food from their aunt, but they didn't expect that they would not only not get any food but also have to work harder.

In addition, the eldest brother's family gave up their house in the county and moved back home. Shen's mother gave the main house to Shen Jizu's family, letting her two sons squeeze into one room, and her aunt moved into their east courtyard.

Liu Shiying's mentality is really frustrating.

"Second aunt, when the family was divided, we didn't get a single penny. If you could get back the money Shen Qingzhou paid us over the years, we wouldn't have to live here."

Shen's mother was unwilling to take out the money that had gone into her pocket, and finally agreed to let Lin Ting and the others live in the house for three months.

"Liu Shiying, if you say another harsh word, I, Yang Xiuxiu, will come to your house and tell you to ask your mother-in-law for money. Let's see who will have a hard time."

Yang Xiuxiu listened to them for Lin Ting, but she had tolerated the Shen family for a long time.

When Liu Shiying saw the imposing Yang Xiuxiu, his arrogance instantly subsided.

If she really told her aunt this, her aunt wouldn't know how to treat her. Now all the housework and cooking fell on her.

Shen Jizu and Xu Shi, however, did not do any work at all.

"You...you all bullied me. I'm going to tell my assistant, ah ah..."

Lin Ting and Yang Xiuxiu looked at each other. It was obviously Liu Shiying who scolded them first, but she started crying out of grievance before they even scolded her.

No longer paying attention to what was happening at the Shen family next door, Lin Ting called Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali back into the house.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't rush to build the adobe bricks. I have something I want to discuss with you first."

Several people, including Shen Qingzhou, all entered the room where Yang Xiuxiu and the others lived, and Shen Wanyi even closed the door of the room.

"Lin Ting, is there something wrong with you?"

This was Yang Xiuxiu's first reaction, because in her eyes, Lin Ting only did bad things.

Lin Ting smiled, put down the backpack behind him, took out four meat buns and handed them to Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali, two for each.

"Something did happen today, but it's a good thing, not a bad thing. You guys eat your buns first, and I'll tell you while you're eating."

When they heard it was steamed buns, Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu looked down at the oil paper bag in their hands in disbelief, fearing that it would fall.

The two of them opened it gently, and sure enough, there were white buns inside, emitting an enticing meaty aroma.

Shen Dali licked his lips, his eyes full of restrained appetite.

"Lin Ting, you got this? How did you get it?"

Seeing that Shen Qingzhou was calm, the two men did not worry that it was stolen, because they knew their son would never do such a thing even if he starved to death.

"I bought it. We already had noodles when we were in the county. You guys are going to work, how can you not eat some staple food?"

Each of them took out only one to eat. Yang Xiuxiu even gave half to Shen Wanyi, but Shen Wanyi was also full and shook his head to refuse.

The two of them hadn't eaten this kind of fine grain for a long time. They tore it off bit by bit with their hands and put it into their mouths, savoring it slowly.

Under the gaze of several people, Lin Ting took out another bag of fine rice from his backpack.

When they opened the bag, white, distinct grains of rice appeared before them.

"This is the twenty kilograms of refined rice I bought today, along with a kilogram of oil, an ounce of salt, and this..."

Lin Ting finally took out an oil-paper package and opened it while several people were already stunned by their expressions.

"This is the pork I bought. We can have meat tonight."

Shen Dali thought he was seeing things, and his hands unconsciously grabbed a handful of rice, then put it down again, repeating the same cycle over and over again.

Only the touch in his hand made him feel that this was not an illusion.

"Lin Ting, where did you get the money to buy so many things? These things are so precious, we peasants can't afford them."

Yang Xiu's heart was pounding. The thing was a good one, but it was suddenly taken back by Lin Ting. She felt uneasy.

Lin Ting kept smiling: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't be anxious. This is what I want to tell you."

"I spent real money to buy these things, and you, mother-in-law, also contributed to this. Do you still remember the water plants you carried home yesterday?

That's a medicinal herb from the Shennong Herbal Classic, and I sold it today to get these things."

As she spoke, Lin Ting counted the remaining 42 coins in front of them and told them roughly what had happened today.

"That's what happened. My calamus sold for six coins a pound, and plantain seeds sold for ten coins a pound."

So that's how it is. Shen Qingzhou never thought that the aquatic plants growing everywhere by the river were actually medicinal herbs and could be sold for so much silver.

In addition to plantain seeds, they were all available at their doorsteps, in the roadside fields and in the vegetable gardens, and they were so abundant that they could never be completely pulled out. These things were worth more than the money he earned from writing letters.

"Lin Ting, how do you know medicinal herbs?"

Shen Qingzhou looked at Lin Ting with a questioning look in his eyes. She had been in this family for four years. If she had this method, why didn't she take it out earlier?

"I know a lot of things, and you don't know me."

Shen Qingzhou was choked by this one sentence. He really didn't understand her.

Perhaps she had been hiding her abilities because she didn't want to support her uncle's family. Now that the family has split up, she no longer needs to hide.

Shen Qingzhou thought so in his heart, and even found a reason to tell Lin Ting.

"Qingzhou's mother, we're not going to remove the adobe today. Let's go to the river to get some water plants."

Shen Dali was very excited. After knowing that Changpu could earn so much money, he was even more afraid that the aquatic plants that no one wanted on weekdays would be snatched away by others.

At this moment, Acorus is a treasure in his heart.

"Yes, we will go and get the water grass. You and your wife just came back from the county and must be exhausted. You should stay at home and take care of Xiaobao."

"No, I'm afraid you won't be able to choose. Let's go together."

Shen Qingzhou took Shen Wanyi with him out. Although he couldn't go down to the river, it was good that he could pick plantain seeds.

The whole family went out. Shen Jizu's family, who had just returned from moving, couldn't help laughing when they saw several disabled and small people going out together.

"Going to dig wild vegetables again. A cheap life is a cheap life. You will never be able to eat decent food in your life."

Summer is the time when there is a shortage of food, and Shen Jizu was waiting to see the Lin Ting family being so hungry that they would beg for help.

Xu and Shen Rou also got off the carriage. It cost them one or two taels of silver to hire this carriage for moving today.

"Daddy, we are in this state today because of that bitch Lin Ting. Even if she begs us on her knees, we can't give her a single bite to eat."
