Lin Qingxue gently wiped the tears from their faces with her sleeve and said softly, "Don't be afraid, children. Mother will always protect you. We will never need to return to the Sun family again. Mother and your father have divorced. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Sun family. No matter what happens, Mother will always be by your side."

"Mom, my sister and I were so scared! Dad and the others beat you so hard that you were covered in blood and lay motionless on the ground. We really thought we would never see you again..."

Lin Xiaoya hugged Lin Qingxue tightly, crying very sadly and scared, her whole body trembling.

"Don't be afraid. Mom has survived a great disaster and she will be blessed in the future. We have our uncles here with us in the future," Lin Qingxue hugged her two daughters who were lost and found again, her heart filled with emotion and relief.

They were so young, one was only eight years old and the other was only five years old. They should have been at an age where they were carefree and spoiled in their parents' arms, but they experienced the most dangerous things in the world so early.

Lin Qingxue gently stroked their hair and said softly, "You are back home now. It is safe here. No one will bully you anymore because your uncles will protect you."

Her gaze was firm and warm, making the two little girls feel extremely reassured.

Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan listened to their mother's words, felt the love and care silently conveyed by the Lin family, and their hearts gradually calmed down.

They understood that the Lin family and the Sun family were completely different. In the Sun family, they were regarded as money-losing goods and suffered from neglect and bullying; but here, they could become treasures held in the palm of everyone's hand.

When Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan's emotions finally stabilized, Lin Qingxue smiled with relief.

She carefully changed her two daughters into clean clothes, wiped the wounds carefully, and gently applied ointment.

Every movement is full of maternal love and care, for fear of hurting them.

Then the two sisters applied ointment to her. Lin Qingxue's wound was on her head. Although it had already scabbed over, it was bleeding a lot. There was a strong smell of blood in her hair, which was very unpleasant.

However, not only did Lin Qingxue not dare to wash her hair, but no one would let her wash her hair either.

"Go to sleep! Mom is here," Lin Qingxue slept in the middle, and her two daughters slept close to her, one on each side.

Lin Qingxue was happy to enjoy her daughters' clinginess. She hugged one at a time and comforted them both. After the two fell asleep, she also fell asleep.

On the other hand, the Sun family was in turmoil. Everyone in the family was criticizing Sun Erniu, but they didn't know that after this incident, Sun Erniu had become estranged from them.

Sun Erniu is a selfish person, and what's more, this time he sold his own flesh and blood, his two daughters!

Besides, he doesn’t have a son at home. If he really offends Sun Daniu, what will happen in the future?

But the situation is different now. He has divorced his wife and lost both his wife and children. All this is thanks to Mrs. Sun and Sun Daniu.

So, he naturally thought that they should find him another wife so that he could have a son to continue the family line.

While thinking about these things, Sun Erniu endured the constant cursing from Mrs. Sun beside him.

He knew he couldn't refute it, after all, he still had to rely on Mrs. Sun to pay for him to marry a new wife.

He could only hold back his anger and keep telling himself to be patient.

Just when he felt he was about to explode, Mrs. Sun finally shut her mouth and stopped cursing.

At the same time, at the Lin family's side, Aunt Lin was packing her luggage. She wanted to find two pieces of better cloth from it to make a new set of clothes for each of Lin Qingxue's two daughters.

Looking at the two poor little girls wearing patched clothes, she felt very distressed.

It wasn't just Aunt Lin. Lin Qingxue's three sisters-in-law were also packing their clothes. They all wanted to find a piece of good cloth to make new clothes for their two nieces.

Because the Lin family did not split up, and because Uncle Lin was saved by Father Lin's life, the people of the first and second branches were extremely united. Uncle Lin and his wife even treated the people of the second branch as their own children.

The next morning, Lin Qingxue woke up early because she went to bed early. When she woke up, everyone in the Lin family was up except the fourth generation who was still sleeping.

As soon as Lin Qingxue moved, Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaowan woke up. The two sisters looked at her with sleepy eyes. She had no choice but to coax her two daughters to take another nap.

Perhaps because of excessive blood loss, Lin Qingxue clearly wanted to coax the child to sleep, but ended up falling asleep herself.

When the mother and her two daughters woke up again, there was no one at home. After washing up, they went to the kitchen and warmed the breakfast left for them by Aunt Lin in the pot.

"Xiaoya, Xiaowan, each of you sisters will have a boiled egg and a bowl of porridge, and you two will split this egg in half."

Lin Qingxue opened the lid of the pot and took the breakfast out of the pot. The three of them, mother and daughter, stood by the stove with their bowls in hand and finished their breakfast.

After breakfast, the mother and her two daughters went to sit under the eaves in the yard to rest. Not long after they sat down, Lin Qingxue's twin sister Lin Qingyue came back carrying two wooden barrels.

"Qingyue, did you go to wash clothes?" Seeing the clean clothes in the wooden barrel, Lin Qingxue asked with a smile.

"Yes! Big sister, Auntie took the sisters-in-law to pick wild vegetables, Big brother took the third brother to the city to do some work, Uncle and Grandpa went to the fields to fetch water, and Grandma went to work in the vegetable garden."

As Lin Qingyue spoke, she took the clothes to the backyard to dry. People often came to the front yard, so it was inconvenient to dry clothes, so she had to take them to the backyard.

"How much food do we have left? It's so hot out here, and it hasn't rained in months. Do we have enough money to buy food?"

Lin Qingxue looked up at the sky. According to the original owner's memory, this drought would last for a long time, and there would be no rain in Linjia Village for at least half a year.

The lack of rain is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the river has dried up and the ground is full of corpses of people who died of starvation and thirst. Plague is rampant, and people are dying in large numbers. The corpses are just lying on the ground with no one to take care of them.

"The food in the cellar is enough for our family to eat for half a year. As for the money, I don't know. Grandma is in charge of the money in the family."

Lin Qingyue shook her head. She didn't care about the money. The bulk of the money in the family was managed by her grandmother, and the remaining money was just a small amount for each family.

"Can Auntie and the others dig up some wild vegetables?" Lin Qingxue thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"You can usually dig them up, but they are all very old. Grandma said we shouldn't waste them. If we can't eat them cold, we can cook them in porridge, which can also fill our stomachs." Lin Qingyue was very worried when she thought that the wild vegetables brought back by Aunt Lin in recent days were getting less and less.
