"Mother Yan, you three sisters-in-law, take the younger ones and go over to the side to separate the wolfberries and wild chrysanthemums. Then, use a winnowing basket to dry them in the yard. Qingxue, you're tired, so go sit over there and rest! Leave the yard clear for the men to prepare the game."

Aunt Lin rested for a while, then stood up and began to direct everyone to work. As for today's hero, Lin Qingxue, she naturally went to rest aside, while everyone else had to work.

No one had any objection to Aunt Lin's distribution. The Lin family knew that if it weren't for Lin Qingxue, they wouldn't have so many things to bring home today.

The saying that men and women working together will not be tiring is very true. Under the leadership of Uncle Lin, Lin Qingming and his team first dealt with the two big wild boars, and the remaining small prey such as pheasants and rabbits were given to Aunt Lin and her three daughters-in-law to deal with.

The wolfberries and wild chrysanthemums were completely left to Lin Qingyue and the children to clean up. Everyone was working, only Lin Qingxue sat aside to rest.

It's not that she wants to be lazy, it's just that her body hasn't fully recovered yet. Plus, she is really tired today. She has been tired and hungry for so long. She has done so much work and walked so much today, so she is okay.

By the time Uncle Lin and the others had finished cleaning up, it was already completely dark. Mrs. Lin prepared dinner. While everyone was cleaning up, she took Lin Qingyue and Lin Xiaoshan to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the family.

Because there were many people at home, we fried two rabbits in the evening and made some braised pork. The staple food was the two-grain steamed buns left over from lunch.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the family simply wiped themselves and went back to the house to rest.

After coaxing her two daughters to sleep, Lin Qingxue hesitated for a long time, and finally got up and went to the room of Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin. She decided to expose the space.

The Lin family really had nothing to say about her and the two children. Whether it was the eldest wife or the old man Lin, they were wholeheartedly and sincerely devoted to the three of them.

She didn't want to, nor could she, live in fear every day after everyone set out to escape the famine.

"Grandpa and grandma, are you asleep?" Lin Qingxue stood in front of Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin's house, knocked on the door gently, and asked in a low voice.

"Qingxue girl, it's so late and you haven't slept yet. Is there something wrong? Come in and talk, the door is not closed," Mrs. Lin's voice came from the room. Judging from her tone, she seemed to be still asleep.

"Qingxue girl, what's the matter with your grandparents so late at night? If you have something, you can just talk to your uncle."

Hearing the noise coming from the door of the two elders, Uncle Lin, who lived next door to them, opened the door and saw his eldest niece standing at the door, and asked hurriedly.

Uncle Lin thought that his eldest niece came to see her parents because she had something but was embarrassed to let them know, so she came so late.

"Uncle hasn't slept yet! I have something to tell everyone. Can you please ask my three brothers and Qingmin to come to grandpa and grandma's room?"

Lin Qingxue looked up at Uncle Lin, gritted her teeth and said with a smile, it seems that this is God's will. She originally planned to tell only her grandparents and not tell other people in the family first, to see what old man Lin and his wife think, and then decide whether to tell other people in the family.

But now that Uncle Lin has seen it, it’s naturally hard to hide it from them, so let’s call everyone else over and tell them together!

"Okay, then you go in and wait, we'll be there soon," Uncle Lin nodded and agreed directly. He didn't think much about it, just thought that his niece wanted to say that she wanted to go to the city to sell things tomorrow and that the sale matter needed to be discussed with everyone.

Lin Qingxue entered the room of the two elders and sat down directly on the kang to wait for Uncle Lin and the others. Just now, the son and granddaughter were talking at the door, and Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin heard it. Naturally, they did not ask why Lin Qingxue came here.

It was precisely because of this that the two elders were so upset. If they had known that their eldest granddaughter was going to reveal that big secret, they would have stopped her even at death and not let her say it. Fortunately, they didn't know it earlier.

Soon, Uncle Lin and his five companions arrived. The female members were so tired that they went to bed and did not come. Only Uncle Lin and his five companions came.

Lin Qingxue sat next to Mrs. Lin and looked at these family members who loved her so much. These people were her closest relatives, and she believed that they would not betray her.

"I have something to tell you all. I've been debating whether or not to tell you these past few days, but in the end I decided to tell you."

Lin Qingxue spoke without any expression. She placed her hand on the pillow on the kang, signaling everyone to open their eyes and watch.

Lin Qingxue moved her mind and put the pillow into the space and continued. After ten seconds or so, seeing everyone's stunned expressions, she took the pillow out of the space again.

"Didn't I bleed a lot a while ago, my life hanging by a thread? I met my parents, and they said they regretted choosing such a bad husband for me. They couldn't bear to see me leave my two children to find them, nor could they bear to see my grandparents die before their children, so they made a deal with the King of Hell, allowing me to return to life and giving me a treasure."

After a pause, Lin Qingxue looked at everyone with disbelief and continued, "That treasure is twice as big as ours. It can hold things. My parents said that we can have a way to survive while fleeing the famine. Anyone who is related to me by blood can hold my hand and go in with me. It's the perfect way to save our lives."

"Qingxue girl, is there any other use for that treasure?"

Uncle Lin asked in a hoarse voice. When he heard his eldest niece speak, he thought of his younger brother who lost his life to save him, and his sister-in-law couldn't bear the blow and followed him.

"Yes! Qingxue, did mom and dad say anything else?"

Lin Qingran also asked with an expressionless face. He still didn't dare to recall the past, nor did he dare to talk about his parents at home, for fear that his uncle and aunt would fall into a bad mood again and couldn't get out of it.

Everyone in the second house knew that the saddest people after their parents passed away were not them, but their grandparents and uncle and aunt, especially their uncle and aunt, who were responsible for two lives and felt even more distressed and guilty.

"My parents only told me to make good use of this treasure and take good care of our family. They also told me to tell my uncle that he doesn't blame you and asked us to be filial to our grandparents on their behalf."

Lin Qingxue choked up and said that although it was embarrassing to use the reputation of the original owner's parents to do this, she did not regret it.

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, Uncle Lin could no longer hold back his tears, and the others were also in tears.

Over the years, they didn't dare talk about the people from the second house, either because the parents of the brothers and sisters of the second house had passed away, or because Uncle Lin was gone.
