It took Lin Lin a long time to control her emotions. She was just worried that her sister would be bullied after the family split up, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.

"You also know that my sister has been childless since she got married, and my mother-in-law and your brother-in-law have both complained about it.

I've tried many folk remedies over the years, but to no avail. Your brother-in-law has a bad temper, so I can't say anything."

"This hurt can't be erased by just being angry. Besides, having a child is a matter for two people. It's not necessarily your fault if you can't have one.

As for those folk remedies, don't eat them carelessly. Eating too much is bad for your health. Look how weak you are now."

"Okay, I won't eat it anymore. This is fate."

The two walked for a while longer. Lin Lin missed the time when the two sisters were together like this, but now they were both married.

"Sister, you are still the same as before, liking to read random books, imitating others to take pulses, and even seeing my physical weakness."

Lin Ting couldn't remember the memory of her childhood, but if the original owner liked to watch these things when she was a child, then she wouldn't be afraid of Lin Lin's suspicion of what she knew.

"Sister, after we pass this mountain, I should go back. You take this back with you."

Lin Ting wrapped up the remaining three taels of meat from tonight and gave it to Lin Lin. She brought the things to see her, and she would definitely be bullied by Li Ergou when she returned.

But if I take this piece of meat back, maybe I can avoid a beating.

"No, I've had dinner at your house tonight and can't take anything away. Besides, if you take out the meat, will Qingzhou and your parents-in-law know? How dare you do that?"

Lin Ting put the meat into the basket she brought beans and said seriously.

"My mother-in-law asked me to give you this piece of meat, so take it, or you won't be able to eat it tomorrow.

I recently found a way to make money. If I get rich in the future, you can divorce that bastard and I will support you for the rest of your life."

There was a gleam in the depths of Lin Lin's eyes as she held Lin Ting's hand tightly.

"Okay, I'll accept this piece of meat the day you come to pick me up. Please thank my uncle and aunt for me."

The two reluctantly parted at the valley floor, and Lin Lin kept looking back.

It took them two incense sticks of time to walk from Shangdong Village to Wushan Village, and the paths were all difficult to walk on, so the two rarely met.

Lin Lin returned home after dark. Before she even entered the door, she heard her mother-in-law scolding her and the sound of wood hitting the door frame.

"Son, that bitch Lin Lin picked most of the beans from the vegetable garden today and left. She's been hanging out and won't come home yet. She must be hanging out with some random guy out there."

Mother-in-law Zhang was a food-protective person. When she saw that there was no food left, she wanted to cut Lin Lin into pieces.

"If she dares, I'll punish her when she comes back."

Li Ergou's gnashing teeth sound came from the mud house, and his tone was so ferocious, as if he wanted to beat her to death.

"She's just a bitch who can't lay eggs. Son, please don't beat her to death. Leave her alive."

"I know, I know. If I, Li Ergou, hadn't given her a bite to eat, she would have starved to death. If I hit her twice, how could she still run away?"

To Lin Lin, these words were as painful as swallowing a needle.

What Lin heard was right. She needed to live for herself. This family would not accommodate her for long, and she had to find her own way out.

After calming down, Lin Lin walked in and saw that the stove was still dark. The cooking pot was still in the same condition as when she left.

"Husband, mother-in-law, you are all here. I went to Wushan Village today. I heard that my sister and her family had separated, so I went to see them."

Zhang rolled her eyes at her. Li Ergou stood at the door, dragging a wooden stick in his hand, and slowly approached Lin Lin as he did so.

Lin Lin was so scared and anxious that her hands were shaking as she held the basket.

She no longer had any feelings for Li Ergou, but before she was able to leave this home, she had to protect herself.

She quickly walked to the front of the rice cooker and pretended that there was no sign of cooking inside, so as to stay away from Li Ergou.

"Husband, haven't you cooked yet? Lin Ting just gave me a piece of meat, look."

Hearing that there was meat, Li Ergou's fierce eyes suddenly slowed down, and his hands full of blue veins also relaxed.

Lin Lin brought the three taels of meat to him and opened it. It already had a bit of a fishy smell, but for someone who had not eaten meat for many years, this could be completely ignored.

"Is it really meat?"

Zhang had lost a handful of beans, and her anger was now relieved by this piece of meat.

"Is this really given to you by the Shen family?"

Li Ergou went home and waited for a long time but Lin Lin didn't come back to cook for him. He was already hungry.

Now when I see this piece of meat, my stomach growls faster than my mouth.

"How could this be false? If I wasn't worried about my sister, I wouldn't have traveled so far to see her. This meat must have been given to them when the Shen family split up."

Lin Lin did not say that Lin Ting and the others bought it themselves, otherwise, he was really afraid that Li Ergou would be shameless enough to go find Qingzhou.

Li Ergou bent down, pulled a stool and sat down, then raised his eyes to look at Lin Lin.

He believed that Lin Lin didn't have the ability to fool around. She always wore shabby clothes and looked like a yellow-faced woman. She had long lost the beauty she had in her teens.

He originally married Lin Lin because she was pretty, but he didn't expect to have supported Lin Ting for several months in vain.

Lin Lin couldn't even give birth to a child. He was really unlucky.

"Go cook, you want to starve me to death?"

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

Considering that Lin Lin exchanged beans for meat, Zhang didn't bother with her. Thinking that she would have meat to eat soon, she couldn't wait and helped Lin Lin cook.

During the meal, Lin Lin was too full to eat the Li family's broken rice with bran.

But even the dishes made with meat could not satisfy Li Ergou and Zhang, so she also tried hard to eat.

Lin Lin secretly rejoiced in her heart that her sister had avoided another beating.

"Lin Lin, if you want to go see your sister in the future, just tell me. I'm not forbidding you to go.

I told you long ago that the Shen family's ancestors were officials, so they must have some wealth. Look, now they can eat meat."

Li Ergou only saw the surface, but he didn't know that the Shen family had been penniless for generations.

"Okay! With your words, my husband, I will tell you in advance next time I go there."

After Zhang finished eating, Lin Lin collected the bowls and washed them.

Zhang licked her lips with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction and said, "Don't just look at your useless sister when you go there. It's very good to be like today."

The meaning of this was obvious, telling her to remember to bring something back when she went next time.

"Mother-in-law, my sister and her family have separated, and the most prestigious person in the Shen family is their uncle Shen Jizu. I'm afraid I'll be gone next time.

Even if I ask for it with a stern face, I can only get some wild vegetables."

Zhang picked her teeth with her fingernails and tilted her head to the right to vomit.

"Pah, a bunch of poor relatives."
