After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"You..." Old Master Lin pointed at Old Lady Lin with a look of dismay, "You short-sighted fool!"

"Isn't it? He is not our child in the first place." Old Mrs. Lin stiffened her neck and refused to bow her head.

That year she was pregnant with her first child. Lin Yuanzhong's younger sister, who had disappeared for many years, suddenly returned to the countryside and stared at her belly.

Then he gave her some money so that she could take good care of her pregnancy.

When she was about to give birth, my younger sister found a midwife from somewhere and gave birth to a daughter.

When Old Mrs. Lin saw that it was a daughter, she no longer wanted to raise her well.

Unexpectedly, the younger sister brought a newborn baby boy and took her daughter away.

"You raise this baby boy, and I will take my daughter away. She will surely enjoy wealth and glory." Old Mrs. Lin didn't value her daughter much in the first place, not to mention that the other party had left behind two hundred taels of silver.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin acquiesced to the switching of the children.

If I had a son instead, he would also be a strong laborer and much more useful than a daughter.

So many years have passed, and the youngest sister of the Lin family has not returned to the village. It is said that she is working in the palace. More than 20 years have passed, and Mrs. Lin has almost forgotten that she has a daughter.

And now that he has asked to sever the ties with the family, it is not something worth being sad about, after all, he is not a real member of the Lin family.

Looking at Old Lady Lin's stubborn look, Old Master Lin could only shake his head, feeling melancholy.

There's no point saying more now.

They had thought that if the boss could achieve fame and honor one day, they would also be able to benefit from it.

Moreover, my younger sister left so much money back then, and the child exchange must have been done by a wealthy family.

The eldest brother might be a victim of a dispute over the inner house of a wealthy family.

Even so, it cannot change the fact that he is the descendant of a wealthy family. If one day he returns to his ancestral home, won't their value also increase?

Of course, these are just his own imagination.

Now that the matter is done, whether Lin Chengfeng's future is a blessing or a curse has nothing to do with them.

Lin Chengfeng returned home with his wife and children, feeling much more relieved. The burden of the Lin family was finally removed from his shoulders.

He once longed for the love of his family. He knew that some people expressed their emotions in an introverted way, but he could clearly feel the difference.

From small things like a piece of clothing or a belt to big things like starting a family and building a career, he was always the one being ignored.

When he was a child, he had seen Grandma Lin secretly peeling eggs for his second and third brothers countless times, but not for him.

As far as he could remember, his mother had never been close to him, but he clearly saw her hugging his younger brother.

Even though Mr. Lin, the head of the family, doesn't talk much, one can still feel his kindness towards his second and third brothers.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any attention from his parents.

Until he got married and his child was born, the indifference that had happened to him became even more severe towards his wife and child.

They bullied his wife and children again and again, and repeatedly eroded his remaining attachment to the Lin family.

Feeling Lin Chengfeng's gaze, Shen Yunwan came to his side and said, "You still have us. We are a family, aren't we?"

"Yun Wan, let me hug you." The man interrupted her, gently put his arms around her waist and put his face on her shoulder.

She stood there motionless, her body somewhat stiff.

After all, they are his parents. Now that they have become strangers, he must be feeling sad.

She was thinking of ways to save the situation. At worst, she could just shamelessly get along with the Lin family in the future.

Mrs. Lin loves money, so just give her more silver. She already has 100 system coins.

These system coins can be exchanged for many items, and there are also medical fees, so their family is not short of money.

If money can buy Lin Chengfeng temporary comfort, it would be fine.

"Yun Wan, you're all I have." A low yet affectionate voice came, "You won't leave me, right?"

Shen Yunwan touched his head unskillfully and comforted him, "I will always be by your side."

Hearing the woman's promise, Lin Chengfeng let go of her waist, without a trace of loss or sadness on his face.

Shen Yunwan was a little surprised. It wouldn't be normal for Lin Chengfeng to perform everywhere, right?

"Sister-in-law Yunwan, are you at home?" A girl's clear voice came from outside the door.

Shen Yunwan walked quickly out of the yard.

It turned out to be Daya. She held the basket to her chest and said, "These are the flowers I picked. Is it the honeysuckle you mentioned before? Is it also a herb?"

Golden buds lie in the basket, and the refreshing fragrance fills the air.

"I only described it to you once, and you recognized it. I'll collect all these honeysuckle flowers, dry them, and send them to town. I'll pay you when I get back."

Shen Yunwan didn't know the price of honeysuckle in the pharmacy, so she would pay Daya after selling it to the pharmacy.

"Don't worry, don't worry. I just want to confirm with you. If it is, I can pick some more." Daya poured the honeysuckle in the backpack into the backpack of Mrs. Shen's house.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'm going to the mountain to see if there are any other herbs."

"Sister Daya, wait a moment." Qiuhua's voice came from the room.

She hurried over and stood beside Shen Yunwan, saying expectantly, "Mom, I also want to go to the mountains to collect herbs with Sister Daya."

Afraid that her mother would not agree, Qiuhua promised, "I will follow Sister Daya closely and won't run around."

When most children in the village were able to walk and run, they would go to the mountains to pick wild fruits, play, herd cattle, collect firewood...

As long as you don't go into the mountains, nothing will happen.

Daya, who was standing by, saw that Qiuhua wanted to go to the mountain so much. She always only picked herbs at the foot of the mountain or at most on the mountainside, so it was okay for her to go.

"Sister-in-law, I will take good care of Qiuhua."

Shen Yunwan knew that her second daughter loved herbs, so she would always pester her to tell her about the appearance and effects of herbs.

When she was treating patients, Qiuhua would always stand quietly by and watch attentively.

They would also raise questions about the prescriptions she wrote, and often the time it took him to answer Qiuhua's questions was much longer than the time it took to see a single patient.

I repeatedly told him not to go into the mountains and to go home for dinner before dark.

Qiuhua carried her small backpack and followed Daya up the mountain. As soon as she got there, she could smell the herbs and knew where they were without even looking for them.

……

Daya was pleasantly surprised to find that Qiuhua could find all the hidden herbs on the mountain.

She was immersed in collecting herbs until she realized that Qiuhua was no longer around. "Qiuhua! Qiuhua! Where are you?"

No matter how she shouted, there was no response.

The sun was about to set, and she couldn't find anyone. She immediately panicked and ran down the mountain desperately.

"Sister-in-law, Qiuhua is missing!" Shen Yunwan and Lin Chengfeng heard panicked shouts.

Ran out of the house in a hurry.

"Daya, what did you say!"

"Sister-in-law, I was picking herbs just now, and when I turned around, I found Qiuhua was gone. I shouted all over the mountain, but there was no sign of her. The sun is about to set, and I'm worried..." Daya's eyes were full of anxiety, and tears were almost coming out.

"Daya, where are you going to collect herbs?" Lin Chengfeng asked calmly.

"I went up from the ridge of the village head's field, from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain."

"Chunhua, you and your brother stay at home and don't go out. If you have any problems, go find Aunt Mao." After giving the instructions, Shen Yunwan raised her legs and ran in the direction of Daya who was picking herbs.

"Daya, go home and call your mother and others, and let the adults go up the mountain to look for Qiuhua." Lin Chengfeng gave the instructions and chased Yun Wan out.

Daya is just a child. If Qiuhua gets lost, she will have to mobilize other people in the village to look for her together.

Shen Yunwan's head was buzzing, and her mind was full of Qiuhua's disappearance.

She kept blaming herself in her heart, wondering how she could let Qiuhua go up the mountain when she was only seven years old. If anything happened to Qiuhua, she would really regret it for the rest of her life.

"Don't be afraid, Qiuhua will be fine." Lin Chengfeng grabbed Shen Yunwan's trembling hand and comforted her.

"Yeah, it'll be fine. We'll find it."

The two came to the place where they collected herbs and shouted Qiuhua's name at the top of their lungs, but there was only the sound of the wind.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Shen Yunwan could no longer care about anything else.

Leaning against a tree, he opened the e-commerce mall and exchanged system coins for a telescope.

Then, he nimbly climbed up a big tree and saw a group of trees shaking abnormally in the distance.

She had taught Qiuhua how to avoid danger and call for help. If she got lost in the mountains, she could just stay where she was and call out, or shake a small tree.

Lin Chengfeng was still shouting loudly, but when he turned around, he found that Shen Yunwan was gone too. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Yun Wan!"

"I'm here!"

Lin Chengfeng looked up to find the source of his life, and saw a person hanging on a tall tree.

Shen Yunwan roughly determined the direction and quickly climbed down the tree.

"Qiuhua should be over there, let's look in this direction."

Lin Chengfeng had no time to wonder, nor did he have time to ask what the object hanging around the woman's neck was.

The two ran while calling Qiuhua's name. Soon they heard a response, "Mom, I'm here!"

Following the sound, the two finally found Qiuhua.

The little man sat under the tree, hugging his legs in fear.

"mother."

Seeing the familiar figure, Qiuhua ran over quickly.

He threw himself into his mother's arms.

Only when I smelled the familiar scent did I dare to burst into tears, venting my inner fear and helplessness.

She was really afraid of being eaten by wild animals in the woods.

Shen Yunwan's heart finally settled down.

"Don't be afraid, mom is here." She gently comforted the child in her arms.

Until the grass around began to rustle.

Lin Chengfeng glanced over with his sharp eyes and found a wild boar staring at them fiercely.

"Yun Wan, hold Qiuhua and don't let her look back." Lin Chengfeng lowered his voice.

Shen Yunwan hugged Qiuhua tightly. She had just seen the wild boar in the grass.

The body is extremely large.

There were no tools around, and just as she was considering using anesthesia, Lin Chengfeng had already stood up. He picked up a thick branch on the ground and stood in front of Shen Yunwan.

The man exuded a cold and stern aura, and the veins on his hand holding the wooden stick were bulging.

The wild boar's savage nature was aroused, and it rushed forward panting heavily.

The man did not dodge. He jumped up and sat firmly on the wild boar's back, holding the wild boar's ears with both hands.

The wild boar struggled to shake off the man on its back.

But the man on his back aimed the thick branch at the wild boar's artery and stabbed it hard, and blood gushed out instantly.

The wild boar roared and fell to the ground and died in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Mom, what's that sound?"

"Nothing, just the sound of a wild boar."

Shen Yunwan didn't even blink as she looked at her scholar husband, who jumped up and used a thick branch to kill a wild boar.

A dark light flashed in her eyes as she looked at the man covered in blood, blood still dripping from his hands.

"My dear, my hand seems to be injured." Lin Chengfeng returned to his usual self. He tentatively moved to Shen Yunwan's side and carefully extended his hand.

"Dad, why are you bleeding so much!"

"This is wild boar blood." Lin Chengfeng glanced at Shen Yunwan, "But, Dad is also injured, let your mother help take a look."

Shen Yunwan wiped his hand with a handkerchief. His palm was indeed injured, a little scratched by a branch, but it would heal soon.

"Dad, did you subdue that wild boar? You are so awesome!" Qiuhua looked at him with admiration.

"It just happened."

"This wild boar..." Shen Yunwan held Qiuhua's hand, "Can you drag it back?"

If you don’t take such a big wild boar home, it will definitely be eaten by other wild animals.

I just saw him subdue the wild boar, so I guess he still has the strength to carry it back home.

Lin Chengfeng looked at her shyly and said, "How about I give it a try?"

As he spoke, he carried the wild boar on his shoulders with both hands, his expression showing no strangeness.

Her husband, a scholar, is really a hidden talent.

A family of three, plus a wild boar, went down the mountain.

As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw torches dotted on the ridges of the fields.

Lin Chengfeng put the wild boar on the ground, looking like a weak scholar.

Shen Yunwan was speechless, but she still stopped and waited for the villagers to come.

"Qiuhua!" Daya ran over and hugged Qiuhua tightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost you." The fear that had been suppressed for a long time broke out the moment he saw Qiuhua.

She panicked as soon as she discovered Qiuhua was missing.

"Daya, it's not your responsibility that Qiuhua is missing." Shen Yunwan gently hugged Daya and comforted the frightened little girl.

She was just a twelve-year-old girl, and she must have been terrified.

Aunt Sun followed closely behind, apologizing continuously.

"Oh, we encountered a wild boar!" Finally, a villager noticed the wild boar nearby.

“I just ran into it when I went to look for Qiuhua. It just so happened that the wild boar knocked itself unconscious and was stuck on an upright branch.

Look, it took a lot of effort to drag it back."

Lin Chengfeng spoke breathlessly.

The other men from the village worked together to carry the wild boar back to Lin Chengfeng's yard. Even in the hot weather, the meat couldn't stand being left out, so the men gutted the wild boar in the yard.

Shen Yunwan gave ten kilograms of wild boar meat to those who came to help.

"Don't be so polite, we didn't do anything. You were the ones who found the child."

Brother Mao pushed and said, this is ten kilograms of wild boar meat. We wouldn’t even buy so much meat during the Chinese New Year.

But Lin Chengfeng and Shen Yunwan insisted on giving it to them, and finally everyone couldn't refuse, so they thought in their hearts that they would do more work for Lin Dajia in the future and then give it back.

Then he happily went home with a large piece of wild boar meat, so that he could improve the food for his wife and children tonight.

Old Mrs. Lin had been waiting at home, waiting for Lin Dalai to bring them wild boar meat.

A wild boar weighing three or four hundred kilograms weighs ten kilograms to outsiders, so her mother must weigh at least ten kilograms.

"Auntie Lin, why didn't your family send anyone to look for Qiuhua?"

"Even if we're no longer related, aren't we still from the same village?"

"That's not it, Yun Wan didn't give it to you?"

"Yeah, we're not a family anymore anyway. They could just watch others go find their children, and now they're just watching us eat their meat."

"I have to go back quickly and ask my wife to make some braised pork. There's so much meat, I have to have a good meal."

……

"Who wants to eat that little bit of meat?"

"Grandma, didn't Uncle get a big wild boar? I saw Erya's family stewing meat, why hasn't Uncle sent us any meat yet?"

Lin Xiangnan looked at the door expectantly.

"What are you eating? Who is your uncle? He doesn't even call me mom, so why are you calling him uncle?"

Old Mrs. Lin went to the kitchen in a rage.

Looking at the coarse grains and pickles in the fire room, I felt very upset.

Then he threw down the spatula and stormed out.

Seeing that Old Lady Lin was heading towards the end of the village, Lin Xiangnan thought she was going to her uncle's house to get some meat, so he followed her.

At this time, Lin Chengfeng was processing the meat. There were more than 100 pounds left. According to Yun Wan's instructions, he coated all of it with salt and hung them on bamboo poles piece by piece.

Shen Yunwan cooked a pot of pig-killing dishes and put the cabbages picked from the vegetable garden into the pot, and a big pot of meat and vegetables was ready.

Even the grandfather and grandson, who were several hundred meters away, could smell it.

"Grandma, my uncle's family is cooking meat. It smells so good. I want to eat some."

Old Mrs. Lin walked faster.

"Boss, there's no need to send it to me. I'll get it myself." Old Mrs. Lin stood in the yard, staring at the meat in Lin Chengfeng's hand.

I thought it would be nice to take it home and stew some radish.

"Uncle, what food did you make at home? It smells so good. Can I stay for dinner?"
