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

After moving back to the village from the county, Shen Rou's room changed from a house made of blue bricks and tiles to a house made of adobe. She couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Hmph! Rou'er, bear with it. Daddy has already asked someone to make connections. It won't be long before I can go to the county government and work as a clerk.

This is still an official position after all, and they will definitely have to watch it carefully when the time comes."

Shen Jizu spent the money given by the Wang family for this position. If Lin Ting had not done bad things, they would not have owed the Wang family money.

It is even more impossible that in order to repay the money, Xu sold all her jewelry and valuables and could not even afford to rent a house in Wenzhu County.

Shen's mother would not empty the family's savings and even sold two acres of land to raise the fifty taels.

The Shen family blamed all these mistakes on the Lin Ting family. If Shen Wanyi was given to others, there wouldn't be so many problems.

"I don't know how long I'll live here."

Xu was wearing a brand new dress, and she found it hard to accept the mud house.

And that toilet is really not as good as one in the wild.

"Xu, go clean up Jizu's room and put the desk by the window. Don't let it damage his eyes.

After you finish these things, you can cook dinner in the evening. Jizu is used to your cooking, so don't be lazy all day long."

Xu's disgusted expression and words were all heard by Shen's mother. She was not a rich person, but she could only live a good life in the county by following her son.

She really spoiled herself. Mother Shen glared at her with her triangular eyes and was determined to give her a good beating.

"Mother-in-law, I clean the room and accompany Jizu to study. What if I delay Jizu's great cause? What will happen?"

Xu Manyi has delicate hands, and it is tiring enough for her to cook for their family. Now she has to cook for the second brother’s family of four. What kind of life is this?

"She's always dithering, full of excuses, and has a foxy face. She only seduces men."

Mother Shen cursed and swore. She really looked down on Xu because she couldn't even give birth to a son. But Jizu was completely bewitched by her.

"Okay, mother, I'm already annoyed these days, and my son has to work hard for a position in the county government. Can we have some peace and quiet at home?

We still have our second younger brother and sister-in-law, so let her do the housework. She’s strong anyway.”

……

By the river, Lin Ting took Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu down to the river and collected all the good quality calamus.

The small and tender ones are left there to continue growing and reproducing.

Shen Qingzhou and Xiao Wanyi were picking caraway seeds by the river, but his inquiring eyes always fell on Lin Ting from time to time.

Lin Ting was the most sensitive one to the sudden change.

Not only did her behavior change, but there was also a glimmer of hope for the future in her eyes, which was what made him most suspicious.

But Lin Ting is still the same Lin Ting, just like a different person inside. Scholars are averse to strange and supernatural things, so he thought he should just let nature take its course.

"Lin Ting, do we need to wash this calamus clean and remove the thin branches?"

Yang Xiuxiu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it and wouldn't be able to sell it at a good price if it was damaged.

"Don't want those thin ones. We'll wash them, slice them, and dry them at home. Then we can send them directly to Wanhetang."

"Okay! It's all up to you."

When he was about to go back, Shen Dali saw that there were still many calamus in the river, and he wished he could stay here, fearing that this treasure would be discovered by others.

"Don't look at it, Grandpa. If everyone knows the value of this thing, it won't be our turn. Let's go home."

The calamus that the three people carried back were all washed. When they got home, they just had to cut them and dry them.

The five people went out together and returned together in the evening, but when they returned home, they met an uninvited guest.

A woman with dry hair and tattered clothes stood in front of the door of their small shabby house, as if waiting for the owner to come back.

When seeing this person, many memories about her emerged in Lin Ting's mind. This person was none other than the original owner's biological sister, Lin Lin!

Seeing Lin Ting and Yang Xiuxiu coming back, she frowned and ran up to them.

"Lin Ting, are you okay? I heard from others that you two split up, and I was worried to death."

Whether in her past life or now, Lin Ting lacked this kind of family affection. She had no resistance to Lin Lin's heartfelt concern.

"We are all fine, don't worry, sister."

How could Lin Lin not be worried? In this world, Lin Ting was her only relative.

If she hadn't been deceived by that bastard, how could she have married her sister to Shen Qingzhou, a man with disabled legs.

Seeing that her sister was safe and sound, Lin Lin smiled and greeted others.

"Uncle and aunt, thank you for taking care of Lin Ting."

"It's my duty, Lin Lin. You came all the way here. Don't stand here. Go home and sit down first."

Yang Xiuxiu called out to them, as they were still carrying their backpacks, and hurried home to drop Beiliang off.

When Lin Lin saw Shen Qingzhou, she nodded at him and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you alright?"

"Everything is fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Shen Qingzhou pushed Shen Wanyi in front of Lin Lin and asked her to call for help.

"Wanyi, call me auntie."

"Hello, aunt!"

Shen Wanyi didn't remember Lin Lin. The last time she saw this aunt was half a year ago, just half a day.

"Sister, go home first. We can stay for dinner tonight."

Lin Ting reached out to hold her wrist, but she twitched in pain and suddenly pulled her hand back.

She suppressed the pain on her face, fearing that Lin Ting would notice something.

In Lin Ting's memory, her brother-in-law was not kind to her sister and would beat her whenever something went wrong.

In the past few years, because his sister couldn't have children, he beat and scolded her and even became an alcoholic.

Lin Ting understood it in his heart, but he would not expose her at this time.

When they arrived outside their small mud house, Yang Xiuxiu brought a bowl of water to Lin Lin and asked her to sit down and rest.

"Uncle and aunt, Lin Ting has been bothering you all for taking care of him. I didn't bring anything with me this time, just some beans I grew myself. I hope you don't mind."

These beans may be the most popular food that Lin Lin has brought. I don’t know if Li Ergou will beat her again if she brings these.

"Lin Lin, you always come and bring something with you. You are so polite."

Lin Lin held Lin Ting's hand and answered Yang Xiuxiu's words with a smile.

"My sister is a bit of a fool. No matter what I do, I have to trouble my uncle and aunt. If it weren't for you, Lin Ting wouldn't be alive today."

She was truly grateful to Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu, and she also truly felt sorry for Lin Ting. If she hadn't heard that they had separated and was afraid that something might happen to her sister, she wouldn't have rushed over to find out.

"By the way, Lin Ting, since you split up, the people next door haven't bullied you, right?"

When Lin Lin asked this question, her voice became much louder.

On the surface, the question was addressed to Lin Ting, but actually, it was directed at the people of the Shen family.
