Lin Siyan didn't mention one thing. She had seen the Zhou Corporation's attitude change several times and even pinched Lin Sixing in private. If they really took the family's land and money, who knew what she would do. After all, even if some people did not say a word, some small details would instantly reveal her personality.
Lin Siyan's explanation successfully dispelled the concerns of Lin Sixing and his wife, but at the same time, it made Lin Yu and his wife feel even more guilty towards her. When Lin Siyan was a girl at home, they had placed all their attention on Lin Sixing, hoping that he would succeed in his studies. When they came back to their senses, she was already married. Moreover, as an older brother, he did not feel the slightest guilt that his younger sister was forced to marry because of him. This made the couple feel even more sorry for Lin Siyan.
Fortunately, Lin Siyan had already gotten over it and was not as resentful as they thought. Although the way they interacted was still the same as before, they also realized that this daughter was married after all. It was only natural that her heart was not in this family.
Lin Siyan learned from the Lin family that the few pieces of barren land belonged to Old Man Yang's family in the village. Because he was old and his son was working as a helper in town, a lot of the land in the family was either rented to other villagers or barren. Because of the low yield of the three desolate fields, they were classified as low-grade fields and had been barren for several years.
Therefore, when Lin Siyan and Lin Siyan saw Old Man Yang explain his intentions, the other party readily agreed to sell the land. Therefore, three pieces of barren land that were less than one mu cost a tael of silver, which was much less than expected.
After buying the wasteland, they could only wait to start work. However, they didn't have much money on hand. In addition, it was summer now, and it was hot and busy. They couldn't find anyone to help them for a while.
Lin Siyan had finished reading the other three books from the four books she had obtained in the space. At the same time, she had also written quite a bit with the help of Li Xiaobo. However, the two of them spent most of their time learning how to write in the mud at the door. After all, rice paper was too expensive, and Li Xiaobo's requirement of writing ten big words a day was to use rice paper.
Apart from that, Lin Siyan loved to run up the mountain more and more. Sometimes, she would beg Li Xiaobo to take her to the depths of the mountain. She would learn some hunting techniques from Li Xiaobo while looking for various herbs and ingredients in the mountains. Among them, the most common plants were the plantain and the ghost needle grass, which could be seen everywhere. However, these two plants were rare in the deep mountains. On the contrary, they were especially common in fields with few trees or around small roads.
What Lin Siyan was looking for was the Light Bamboo Leaf Grass. It got its name because its leaves looked like bamboo leaves. However, the grass seeds would stick to people. When people walked through the grass, they would take away a lot of grass seeds. They could only pull them off bit by bit with their hands. It was very troublesome, but it was comparable to the Ghost Needle Grass. This kind of herb was a treasure all over its body. Its leaves were good for urinating, and it could relieve restlessness and heat. Its roots could induce labor, and it usually grew in damp places under the hillside forest.
Of course, there were plenty of herbs that were considered treasures. However, she was worried that the shop would not accept them if she did not handle them properly. Only the light bamboo herb shop clearly stated that they wanted fresh ones. In other words, they would accept them regardless of whether she dried them or not. It would be best if they had roots. For this reason, Lin Siyan often dug around in the mountains with a small hoe. She could dig up 50 to 60 catties a day.
Because the cart was too small, she could only beg Uncle Liu to specially place the herbs on the cow's back. This way, it would not take up space. However, even so, she could not bring too many herbs to town. Therefore, she would dry the herbs that she could not bring to sell in time. After drying, the Light Bamboo Leaf Grass was no different from weeds, and its weight would be much lighter. Although the price was much higher, it still took a lot of time.
Although the Light Bamboo Leaf Grass was her main target during this period of time, she did not let go of the other medicinal herbs. She would often dig up medicinal herbs that could be seen everywhere like the plantain and the ghost needle grass. However, because they were too common, the price was not high. Plantain grass was only three wens per 500 grams, and ghost needle grass was only five wens per 500 grams. Moreover, they were all dried, so it was not worth it.
Lin Siyan couldn't compare to the protagonist in the novel, who could dig up valuable herbs such as pseudo-ginseng, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and so on after entering the deep mountains. The problem was that the people here were not stupid, and they were all people who relied on the mountains to survive. How could they be so lucky to have the chance to pick these precious herbs? She could only say that she couldn't be envious of other people's abilities.
"You brought so many back?" Seeing Lin Siyan carrying a big bundle of herbs home, Li Xiaobo quickly went over to take it.
Lin Siyan took a deep breath and drank a bowl of water before saying," The medicine shop has been buying this herb in large quantities recently. We should take advantage of the time to get more. The price is not expensive, but the quantity is large. Each time, we can still get two to three hundred wen.”
Li Xiaobo helped her spread out the herbs and let them dry in a cool place." I don't understand the herbs you're making. Take it easy. You're tired."”
"Don't worry." Lin Siyan smiled and said," Just focus on catching fish and hunting. Although I don't earn much, our daily expenses are not a problem. We can always save a little."”
"Alright." Li Xiaobo saw that she was starting to feel sleepy on the stool. He thought for a while and continued," Go lie down on the bed. I'll call you when I'm done cooking."”
Lin Siyan was about to stop him, but when she raised her hand, she realized that her hands were filled with lead. She understood that she had been too tired these past few days, so she didn't stop Li Xiaobo from cooking.
She lay on the bed for a while, and just as she was about to fall asleep, it suddenly started to rain outside. She quickly got up and put the things that were drying at the door into the house with Li Xiaobo.
After such a torment, she no longer felt sleepy. She sat in front of the earthen stove and helped watch the fire. However, half of the dried herbs beside the earthen stove were gone, and she could vaguely see the remains of the other half in the fire.
She panicked and asked Li Xiaobo, who was cutting vegetables," What did you use to light the fire?”
Li Xiaobo replied without turning his head," The hay was placed next to me. I saw that it was convenient, so I took a handful. It's quite willing to burn."”
Her bad premonition turned into reality, and she suddenly felt as if she had worked for nothing the entire day.
Li Xiaobo seemed to feel that something was wrong with her silence. He looked at her strangely and found that she was like a leaking bag.”
Lin Siyan looked up at Li Xiaobo and said faintly," I've been drying the herbs for half a month. I was going to roast them over the fire after eating, but you just burned them for me…"
Hearing this, Li Xiaobo's face turned red. After a long time, he muttered," I don't know…"
"I know." Lin Siyan said lightly. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was upset. After all, she had spent a lot of effort to get this.
