The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Everyone in the village came today. Whenever someone wanted to invite guests to dinner, the villagers would spontaneously carry their own tables and chairs over.

This time was the same. Lu Linlang invited the whole village to dinner to express her gratitude. If they didn't bring their own tables and chairs, there might not be enough seats.

The women in the village got up early to help. Now everyone had eaten. There were not enough seats for the children, so they just stood next to their elders to eat. They didn't need Lu Linlang, the host, to greet them. Everyone was very conscientious.

"Linlang girl, this is your great-uncle, and this is your great-uncle. They are both your father's cousins ​​and also the elders of the clan. They usually participate in whatever the clan discusses."

After hearing the introduction from the clan leader, Lu Linlang and her brother also performed the junior’s salute. These two were also highly respected people in the clan, and they were the ones sitting at the main table with Lu Linlang and her brother.

He then introduced many people, including Uncle Dayou and his family who had sent them back that day.

There are also many of her younger generations in the clan, some of whom are even a generation older than her.

"These two girls are your grandfather's younger brother, the granddaughters of your great uncle. However, your great uncle was adopted by another family in the clan. His family moved to the county town to do business, but because they lost money, they came back. Only these two girls are left. Dahua, Erhua, this is your cousin, come and call her sister."

The clan leader pointed to two girls with wide eyes and yellow hair and introduced them to Lu Linlang. They were wearing ill-fitting, patched clothes. They only dared to look up once before lowering their heads. Their feet were awkwardly trying to hide under their trouser legs, but unfortunately, the trouser legs were also worn and torn. Their straw sandals had also been worn for a long time and were beginning to loosen.

"You call me Dahua and Erhua, right? You call me Sister Linlang. Come to my house to play in the future." Lu Linlang heard the clan leader's wife mention the situation of the two children this morning.

After Dahua and Erhua's grandfather was adopted, the family was afraid that he would still remember the situation of his original family, so they took him to the county town to do business, and he did not come back for many years.

It was not until Dahua's grandfather got married and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors that he was told that he was adopted.

Many years later, Grandpa Dahua learned that Lu Linlang's father had become an orphan and wanted to take him to live in the city, but was stopped by the family. They were worried that their family business would fall into the hands of outsiders and refused to allow him to go.

Later, when he came to the village secretly, he gave the old patriarch some silver and asked him to help buy some food for Lu Linlang's father. He also told him not to tell anyone else, for fear that his adoptive parents would be angry if they found out.

Later, Lu Linlang's father joined the army and Dahua's grandfather passed away, and the two families lost contact.

As time went by, Dahua's family business plummeted. Dahua's father died unexpectedly and her mother remarried, leaving only Dahua and her sister and grandmother. The three of them returned to the village and used the remaining money in the family to renovate the old house and buy some land. Last year, Dahua's grandmother also passed away, and the two of them became orphans.

"Sister Linlang." Dahua and Erhua looked at their kind sister and called out timidly.

They had heard before that a beautiful sister had come to the village. The villagers also said that she was their cousin and would be their relative in the future. Some people with good intentions encouraged the two to go and recognize their relatives. However, they secretly went to take a look and found that the sister was very beautiful but very cruel to her brother.

They remembered what their grandmother had said: they should live peacefully in the village and not think about climbing up the social ladder, lest they be sold. So they did not dare to come and say hello to this beautiful sister.

Seeing that Sister Linlang was so kind, and that it was the clan leader who brought her here and asked them to call her sister, Dahua thought to herself that this sister must not be the kind of person who would sell them out.

Lu Zhan had been following Lu Linlang. When he heard that Dahua and Erhua were his sisters, and he didn't have a younger sister yet, he took a look out of curiosity. He saw that both of them had their heads down and didn't dare to look at anyone. They didn't have any good clothes on them, but they were clean. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

After the villagers had finished their meal, they all started to clean up. In a short while, the yard was clean again.

They were still a little afraid of Lu Linlang's family who had returned from the capital. Seeing that Lu Linlang was accompanied by a maid, and everyone was dressed neatly without any patches, and the house was also cleaned spotlessly, they were too embarrassed to go in and also restrained the children from going in.

"Aunt, these are the leftovers from today. We can't finish them all. Why don't you help me share them with the people who cooked today? Dahua, Erhua, come here. These are the leftover dishes that haven't been cooked yet. Take them back and eat them."

Dahua and Erhua were kept by Lu Linlang. Dahua was twelve years old and Erhua was eight years old, but they were not as naughty as Lu Zhan. They followed the villagers to help, sweeping the floor and washing dishes, like little adults. Lu Linlang just kept them.

"Thank you, Sister Linlang, but we have more at home, so you can keep it for yourself." Dahua looked at such a big bowl and felt embarrassed to take it home, so she quickly shook her head to refuse.

Erhua was still young, and after staring at her for a moment, she quickly hid behind her sister.

"Take it, I've heard from my aunt about your situation. It's not easy for both of you. Take it home and eat it slowly. Winter is coming soon, so it won't go bad easily."

Lu Linlang stuffed it directly into Dahua's hands. Lu Zhan beside her also said, "Take it home and eat it. We have more at home. You are so thin. No one will believe you if I tell others that you are my sister."

Even the advice given by this arrogant young man sounded a bit harsh, but he had good intentions because he felt sorry for the two sisters.

After everyone left, Lu Linlang called her younger brothers over. They had been busy with work these days since they came here, and Lu Linlang was worried that they would give her some unnecessary psychological burden.

"Yunyi, Yunxi, Yuncan, you will live here with me from now on. We will not go back to the capital. There is still a war going on at the border, so we can't go there. Have you adapted well these days? Do you have any ideas? We are a family. If there is anything, we can't keep it in our hearts. Talking it out will prevent us from getting sick easily."

"Sister, we are all fine. I think the village is more suitable for studying than the capital. I can calm down and take care of my brothers in the future. The capital looks rich, but it is not suitable for us. Those young masters only want to play and don't like people who study all day."

Yun Yi spoke calmly. He found that after returning to the village, although he had just arrived and received a lot of attention from the villagers, everyone looked at him with kindness. It was not like in the capital, where he had to be careful not to offend anyone, otherwise he would cause trouble for his uncle and sister.

"Sister, I also think the village is fun. I can catch wild game with the villagers, and the little kids call me uncle. It's really interesting." Compared with the introverted Yun Yi, Lu Zhan seems more outgoing. After just a few days after arriving, he found friends of the same age and took Yun Can to dig out bird nests and catch rabbits. They had a lot of fun.

"Sister, we are fine. My brother and I are reading. We haven't finished reading the medical books yet." Yunxi was holding a medical book in his hand that was thicker than his palm. Lu Linlang only discovered on the way that Yunxi had always liked to read medical books.
