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

"Okay! I'll take fifty taels of silver, and you can keep the remaining ten taels. If you need any more silver, just tell me."

Lin Ting didn't expect that Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu had already planned to let her manage the family.

Everyone here was happy that Shen Qingzhou could recover, but the noise from the Shen family across the street was so loud that it gave people a headache.

Mother Shen raised her voice like a loud speaker and cursed at Shen Zuxiong's room.

"It's already so late, why haven't you come out to cook yet, Liu Shiying, you're such a lazy bum, do you still want to eat today's meal?"

Soon, Liu Shiying came out of the house with yellow mud on his hands.

"Aunt, if you want to eat, just ask my eldest brother's family to cook. I have already cooked our meals myself.

Since we've split up, there's no need to live together. From now on, my assistant brother and I will only manage our own land. Aren't my sister-in-law and Shen Rou responsible for my eldest brother's things? "

Liu Shiying simply saw no hope in Shen Jizu and was not qualified to be the chief clerk of the county government.

If he wanted to take the imperial examination, he would have to wait another year. By then he would be 46 years old. It would be a question whether a 46-year-old juren could pass the examination.

"How dare you! You are going to rebel against the heavens! Who gave you the courage to do this?"

Shen's mother kept an eye on the small amount of rice in the house every day. It was not missing at all. Where did Liu get the food to cook?

"Aunt, I've had enough. You're so partial to my eldest brother, and you don't even touch Xu.

Brother Shen and I are the ones doing the work on their fields, and you just turn a blind eye to it day after day.

Since we have separated, I only took what was allocated to our family. Whatever happens in my eldest brother's family in the future will have nothing to do with us.

Please don't bother me again, aunt. It was you who wanted to live with my eldest brother's family."

These words made Shen's mother so angry that she trembled all over and slapped Liu Shiying on the chubby face.

This slap made Liu Shiying's face red. Liu Shiying, who was already angry, could no longer hold it in.

Not only does she have a husband without his own opinions, she also has a biased mother-in-law.

"Aunt, you hit me? I'm telling you the truth. I went back to my parents' home and discussed this with my father before separating from my eldest brother's family.

Even the broken rice that my family is cooking now was lent to me and Shen Zuxiong by my father. If you are dissatisfied with my decision.

I can call my dad over, and you can talk to him, he is your brother anyway."

What Shen's mother wanted to say was stuck in her heart. She had been a little afraid of her brother since she was a child, and now her daughter-in-law was using this to suppress her.

"Okay, okay! You actually let an outsider decide our family affairs."

Liu Shiying: "My father is an outsider, I will definitely convey this to my aunt."

"You... well, all of you want me dead, right?... Why is my life so miserable..."

Because Shen Jizu was unable to become the chief clerk, everyone in the Shen family was in a bad mood, including Shen's mother.

She shouted towards Shen Jizu's room, "Xu, Shen Rou, the two of you, get out of here, you unfilial creatures! Jizu's luck has been ruined because of you two.

Why don't you two get out and cook? Do you expect an old woman like me to serve you?"

Xu and Shen Rou came out reluctantly. Their old house was so dirty and messy, they really didn't want to enter the kitchen.

"Grandma, I'm doing embroidery. I'm not young anymore, and I have to plan for my future."

"Mother-in-law, Stepfather is in a bad mood, and someone has to take care of him. I really don't have time."

The two of them always have excuses to avoid housework at home, but they don’t know that now even Liu Shiying is unwilling to serve them.

"If Jizu is in a bad mood, don't bother him. Go cook for me quickly, otherwise no one will be able to eat."

There was hardly anything nice to say from Shen's mother's mouth.

"A bunch of lazy bums, the reason why Jizu failed to pass the imperial examination all these years is because of you two jinxes.

One is a money-losing girl who can't get married, and the other can only seduce my son. It's true that like mother, like daughter.

From now on, all the housework and farm work will be done by the two of you. If you dare to be lazy, I will ask Jizu to divorce you."

Mother Shen turned her head and stared at Shen Rou with her blurry inverted triangle eyes.

"And you, there's a hunter in the next village who's been asking about you lately. It's almost time for you to get married so as to save the family's food."

Shen Rou widened her eyes and immediately grabbed Xu's arm.

"mother!"

She is an official...

How could such a dignified and educated woman marry a hunter?

"Mother-in-law, don't worry about Rou'er's marriage. I have my own ideas."

Mother Shen made a sound of "Pooh" and cursed, then told the two of them to go and cook something.

……

Every family has its own problems. Lin Ting told them to go to the new house to have lunch with everyone at noon.

Shen Dali pushed Shen Qingzhou's wheelchair, and Yang Xiuxiu held Shen Wanyi.

Lin Ting had nothing in his hands, but he was quite happy and at ease.

After going out and walking to the back of the house, I met the two brothers Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong.

The two men squatted behind their house and didn't know how long they waited.

"Third uncle, third aunt, brother Qingzhou, sister-in-law."

"Xiao Zhuang, Xiao Cong, why are you here?"

After hearing the quarrel in the yard, Yang Xiuxiu knew what had happened to them.

"Aunt San, we are here to look for my sister-in-law because my uncle can't be the chief clerk, and my parents have a falling out with my uncle's family.

My parents didn't let us do farm work in my uncle's and grandmother's fields.

So we are all free now, and since we have nothing to do, we decided to ask my sister-in-law if there is any work that we brothers can do."

Shen Zhuang was a little older and noticed the changes in their family. His parents used to try to please his uncle, but now they have separated because they see no hope.

But the uncle's family did not get along with Lin Ting, and now they have separated from the uncle's family. Lin Ting and his family just happened to be hiring someone to build a house, so they wanted to come and ask if there was any work they could do.

Yang Xiuxiu looked at Lin Ting. Lin Ting was in charge of all the housework now. She was actually quite satisfied with the work done by her two nephews.

"We already have enough labor for our family's work, so how about this?"

Lin Ting took the two men to her newly bought carriage and said, "You will help me take care of the horses for the next two months. I will give you eight coins a day, and you brothers can divide it equally.

There is one more thing. After you finish cutting the grass, you can chop firewood for us in the afternoon. Three pounds of dry firewood costs one penny, and six pounds of green firewood costs one penny. You can bring it to our new house.

Of course, you two can also go there to eat, two more of you won’t be too much.”

This was already a good job for Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, as they were not as strong as the strong men in the village.

Their parents had offended Lin Ting's family before, so now that Lin Ting could do these jobs for them, they were already very grateful.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for these two months. My brother and I will definitely help you take good care of the horse."

Raising horses earns eight coins a day, and chopping wood can also make money. This is a much more stable income than asking Shen Rou to dig calamus.
