Chapter 4 Aunt Lin, who is both obedient and secretive
The money-making system that suddenly appeared could not be contacted for five days. Lin Yuehua sometimes wondered if it was her hallucination? Since she didn't want to think about things she couldn't understand for the time being, she needed to fill her stomach now.
Xiao Jinsuo pawned six taels of silver, which was a bit more than Lin Yuehua expected. She told Aunt Lin that she borrowed the money from Zhao Yunting and Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang is the mother of the original owner's little sweetheart Zhang Xiucai. When she moved to Linjia Village in her early years, Lin's mother took good care of her, so Aunt Zhang was very good to Lin Da Niu's siblings.
Aunt Lin said that she borrowed two taels of silver to return Zhang's widower's betrothal gift, and asked Lin Yuehua to collect five taels of silver to redeem Liu Shuanzi for her. Lin Yuehua gave Aunt Lin five taels of silver to redeem Liu Shuanzi on the fifth day.
The villagers saw the scene where Liu Shuanzi was beaten by the gangsters of the gambling house. They were afraid of being embarrassed and returned to Liujia Village. Aunt Lin went home to take care of Liu Shuanzi.
"Sister, I'm hungry." Lin Dahu pestered Lin Yuehua for food.
"Didn't we just have breakfast?" Lin Yuehua had a headache. The rice vats at home were all empty. Aunt Lin had sold all the grain in the five acres of land in exchange for money.
Lin Dahu was lying on the ground rolling around, crying: "I don't care, I'm hungry, I have to eat."
Lin Yuehua's face turned dark. What kind of habit is this? He grabbed Lin Dahu on the ground and scolded: "Stand still! He cries at every turn and rolls to the ground at every turn. Don't you look like a man at all?"
"Dahu, didn't you always say that your aunt is good to you? Why didn't you take you away when she left? Now that you are hungry, you should go to your aunt." Lin Erya on the side said sarcastically.
"You are all bad people! Wuwuwu..." Lin Dahu looked aggrieved and wiped his tears with his sleeves.
Lin Yuehua was helpless. She was an only child before, and she really didn't know how to get along with the little carrot head. This baby was really troublesome, and she didn't want to have any babies in the future.
Lin Yuehua cooked the last sweet potato at home into porridge, and Lin Dahu stopped losing his temper after eating it.
"Erya, it rained yesterday, let's go to the mountain to see if there are any mushrooms that have emerged and collect some." Lin Yuehua and Lin Erya went to the mountain carrying bamboo baskets.
Linjia Village is backed by mountains. As the saying goes, you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. Although Lin Yuehua does not believe that you can go into the mountains to collect century-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it is still feasible to collect some fungi.
Lin Yuehua did not dare to go deep into the mountains, so she and Lin Erya only wandered around the mountain near the village.
"Erya, look, you can pick these fungus, but don't pick other brightly colored mushrooms!" Lin Yuehua found clusters of fungus on a rotten poplar tree.
"Sister, there are many more here." Lin Erya's eyes lit up and her little hands started to move.
Lin Yuehua was very happy that so many fungus could be dried and preserved, so he speeded up and had to go down the mountain before dark.
Lin Yuehua also picked some oyster mushrooms. She didn't pick any fungi that she wasn't sure were edible, so she went down the mountain with her backpack almost full.
Along the way, Lin Erya was chirping very happily: "My aunt is not at home these days, I feel so good! Shall we eat these mushrooms at night?"
"Well, I'll go to Grandma Wang's house to buy some eggs and make mushroom egg soup. It will definitely taste very delicious."
As soon as Lin Yuehua entered the village, she saw Aunt Zhang hurriedly looking for her.
"Big girl, please go home quickly. That widower Zhang is at your house now, and he keeps shouting that he wants an explanation." Aunt Zhang was panting.
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Yuehua was wondering, if the engagement had been broken off, why would the widower Zhang be here?
As soon as Lin Yuehua arrived at the door of her house, she heard Lin Dahu's cry.
A middle-aged man kidnapped Lin Dahu in his arms. The man had dark skin and looked like a farmer. He must be Zhang, the widower.
"Let go of my brother. The engagement has been broken off, so what do you want to do?" Lin Yuehua stared at the widower Zhang with sharp eyes and moved closer.
Seeing Lin Yuehua's appearance, the widower Zhang seemed to be frightened, so he grabbed Lin Dahu's neck and yelled: "Don't come over here."
Lin Yuehua stopped: "Okay, I won't come over. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
"Widower Zhang, you let go of your child, and you still come to pester me after breaking off the engagement. Do you have any shame at all?" Aunt Zhang looked on anxiously.
"I'm shameless? I don't know which bastard is shameless. I finally worked hard to save the money to marry a wife. Then Aunt Lin came to break off the engagement and said well that she would pay me back the money in three days. It's been ten days! A penny.
I haven't seen it yet. You are a shameless bitch. This girl looks so mean and hides it from me. She wants to break off the engagement and extort money from me." The more Zhang widower talked, the more excited he became, as if he wanted to fight with others desperately.
Lin Yuehua saw that the widower was an honest man and came after ten days without receiving any money, so he must have been in a hurry.
"My aunt told us that she returned your money. It has nothing to do with my eldest sister. It was my aunt who lied to you. Let go of my brother." Lin Erya said.
"Sister, save me, I'm afraid." Lin Dahu looked at Lin Yuehua with a begging look on his face, looking very pitiful.
"Give me the money today, and I will let this little kid go." Zhang, a widower, was unwilling to give in. Most of the fields in Zhangjia Village were mountainous and very barren, and the grain output was not high. He worked early and late to save two taels of silver to marry his wife.<
/p>
Lin Yuehua still has one, two or three coins in her hand, but she doesn't want to keep cleaning up Aunt Lin's mess in the future. She wants to drive Aunt Lin away from home.
"Brother, we don't have any money."
As soon as Lin Yuehua finished speaking, the widower burst into tears: "That's my money! I earned it by digging food in the fields all year round."
Seeing Zhang's behavior, a villager sympathized with him and spoke for him: "Big girl, your aunt is too unkind. She regretted the marriage and returned the money to others."
"That's right, that's right, but it's not the big girl's fault. It's not her fault that she's ugly. Then Lin Dahua is really doing something immoral."
It's not her fault that she's ugly? Lin Yuehua choked in her heart. Alas!
Lin Yuehua also had a suspicion in her mind. Aunt Lin came to the original owner's house just to occupy her family's land. Five acres of fertile land was not a small amount in the village. However, Aunt Lin sold the grain every year, and the original owner didn't get a cent of the money. However, the original owner did all the work in the field.<
/p>
What if the land at home is "lost"? It depends on what kind of land Aunt Lin uses to cultivate and what kind of grain she sells for money.
Lin Yuehua asked Zhang, the widower: "Brother Zhang, does your family have a lot of land? How many acres are there?"
"Why do you ask this? One-fifth of an acre of land, our mountainous land, is all scattered." Zhang widower didn't know why, but he still answered honestly.
Lin Yuehua continued: "Then if we have three acres of fertile land like ours in Linjia Village, can you grow it?"
When widower Zhang heard about three acres of fertile land, his eyes lit up. He dreamed of owning several acres of fertile land, but he was worried about not being able to marry a wife. He was one of the best farmers in the village, but the land in their village was too little and too barren.
p>
"It's not easy to plant three acres of fertile land in my big pot." Speaking of farming, widower Zhang became more confident and energetic.
