My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

Seeing this, everyone started to pick up their chopsticks. The Lin family was large, with ten young people in the fourth generation alone, not to mention Lin Qingxue's six brothers and sisters, and her three older brothers who were already married.

So, two tables were set up for dinner in the evening. Lin Qingyue and her ten children sat at one table, and the others sat at another table. The dishes on both sides were the same.

At the children's table, Lin Xiaoshan and his younger brothers had their mouths full of oil, their little faces flushed red from the heat. Lin Qingyue, who was standing next to them, was looking at her nephews and nieces with a happy smile on her face.

On the other side, at the adults' table, there was constant laughter and chatter. Everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very warm.

In this warm and lively atmosphere, everyone's laughter and conversations are intertwined, like the most beautiful family symphony.

After dinner, the family moved to the front hall to stay up all night, and the leftovers on the table were handed over to Mrs. Zhang and others to clean up.

"Butler Jiang, we don't need anyone to serve us here. Please take everyone to the kitchen to eat," Lin Qingxue said gently after helping Mrs. Lin sit down and turned to look at Jiang Lei who was guarding the door.

"Okay, Fourth Miss, just call me if you need anything," Jiang Lei nodded. He knew how to read people's expressions. Having been in the Lin family for so long, he also knew that the Lin family did not like to waste people's time.

Without outsiders around, Lin Qingxue and the others felt more comfortable chatting. Uncle Lin and Old Man Lin asked the younger generations like Lin Qingmin and Lin Xiaoshan about their studies, and also asked about the business in the shop.

Time passed by unknowingly, and the little ones could not hold on any longer. Mrs. Lin felt very distressed when she saw this, so she decided not to let everyone stay up all night and sent the children back to their rooms to rest one by one.

Lin Qingming and the others felt sorry for the children who were so sleepy, so they naturally didn't insist on staying up all night. Instead, they went back to their rooms to rest.

"Mom, my sister and I can sleep with you tonight, okay?" Lin Qingxue was holding her two daughters' hands, one on each side, and was about to send them back to their room to rest, when she heard her eldest daughter Lin Xiaoya suddenly speak.

"Sure! Then you can sleep with your mother at night!" Lin Qingxue agreed without thinking. The children wanted to be close to her as their mother, so she naturally would not refuse.

After agreeing to let the children sleep with her, Lin Qingxue took her two daughters directly back to her room. She called Chunmei and Chunlan, two maids, to light the kang, and then fetched water for them to wash.

Half an hour later, it took them half an hour to finish washing up and lie down on the kang to sleep. Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan lay on either side of Lin Qingxue, and the mother and daughter closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Everyone's sweet sleeping faces were accompanied by the cold wind and blizzard outside. The Lin family slowly woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. After waking up, everyone struggled to get up from the warm quilt, put on their clothes and washed up, and greeted the new year and a new day with a brand new look.

In Lin Qingxue's room, she looked at her two daughters who were still sleeping beside her, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She got up from the quilt quietly, afraid of disturbing the children's sweet dreams, and moved extremely carefully.

Chunmei and Chunlan heard the noise and hurried in to serve. "Fourth Miss, it rained heavily last night. There's a lot of snow outside. It's very cold."

Chunmei waited for Lin Qingxue to put on her clothes while she spoke, then put a thick cloak on her to make sure she wouldn't be cold. Then Chunmei asked Chunlan to go to the kitchen to fetch some water, as the two young ladies would have to get up and wash up soon.

"That's fine. I'll go to the front hall and rest for a while. You guys keep an eye on the two young ladies. They should wear warmer clothes and put on their cloaks before going out."

Lin Qingxue said this and walked out of the room. In the yard, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li were sweeping the snow. The rustling sound of the brooms rubbing against the snow was particularly clear in the quiet morning.

Arriving at the main house, Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin were already sitting at the table drinking tea. Seeing Lin Qingxue coming, Mrs. Lin smiled and greeted her, "Qingxue girl, come and warm yourself up. It's snowing so hard."

"Yes, grandma, were you cold when you slept last night? Are you wearing enough clothes today? Have my brothers and the others gotten up yet?" Lin Qingxue said with a smile as she sat aside.

"It's not cold. Last night before we went to bed, your uncle gave us two full sticks of firewood, and we slept until dawn," said Mrs. Lin with a smile. She had never suffered any hardship in her life except the loss of her son at an early age.

The grandmother and granddaughter were chatting, and soon Lin Qingxue's brothers and sisters-in-law came over one after another. Lin Xiaoshan and the other children also came to the front hall one after another. The family moved to the restaurant to have breakfast, and then Lin Qingming and his two brothers took Lin Xiaoshan and ten other children to the village to pay New Year's greetings.

Everyone in Linjia Village is related by blood, and they are all relatives and clan members of the same clan. As the eldest of three generations, Lin Qingming naturally has to take his younger brothers and sisters and younger generations to the village to wish New Year's greetings to the village chief Lin and the elders of the clan.

Old man Lin and his wife, and Uncle Lin and his wife had to stay at home, waiting for their relatives to come and wish them a happy new year. The sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue did not go out to wish them a happy new year, but stayed at home to accompany Old man Lin and his family.

"Chunyu, take Chunmei and Chunlan and get out the fruits, peanuts, and candies I bought and arrange them. Then go make two pots of hot tea and bring them over. Have the kitchen boil a pot of ginger tea and keep it warm."

Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingxue sat on either side of Mrs. Lin. Thinking that the clansmen and the younger generations of Village Chief Lin's family would come to pay New Year's greetings soon, she quickly ordered the servants to bring up snacks for the New Year.

As soon as the snacks and tea were brought up, people came one after another to wish Old Man Lin and his family a happy new year. The faces of those who came to wish them a happy new year were filled with festive smiles. As soon as they entered the door, they bowed and said auspicious words.

Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin responded with a smile, asked everyone to sit down, and let the children get snacks from the table. Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue were also busy, greeting familiar tribesmen and pouring ginger tea for everyone.

After the children kowtowed and wished the New Year, they happily accepted the red envelopes given by their elders, and gathered together to share their joy, laughing and playing.

After a while, Lin Qingchu also came over with several of his younger generations. Sister Lin Qingxue stood up to greet them. The brother and sister greeted each other and laughed heartily.

Lin Qingxue personally poured a cup of ginger tea for Lin Lin Qingchu. As Lin Qingchu came over, the younger generations also kowtowed to the old man Lin and his wife to wish them a happy new year. The scene was very lively.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside. It turned out that Lin Qingming and his friends had returned from paying New Year's greetings. Lin Xiaoshan and his friends' faces were red from the cold, but their eyes were full of excitement.

After the three Lin Qingming brothers greeted everyone, they sat down and chatted with their clansmen, sharing their daily lives in the city.

While chatting, the clansmen talked about family matters for a while, and then got up to say goodbye one after another. Old Man Lin and his family warmly saw them off to the door, and everyone went back home to find their mothers.
