Madam Zhou had good intentions, or perhaps she thought that the Lin family could not see the day when they could make a living by farming in the sun and rain, so she hoped that even if Lin Sixing did not take the exam, he would at least live as well as her family.
After Cui Shi told her everything, she grabbed Lin Siyan's hand as if she had found a life-saving straw." Siyan, it's not like you don't know your brother's temper. You have to help your mother persuade your sister-in-law."”
"Mother." Lin Siyan was in a difficult position." Sister-in-law meant well. How do you want me to persuade her? Let Brother give in to Sister-in-law and coax her. That way, it doesn't matter even if she doesn't want to go.”
" Sigh," Chui Shi sighed." I don't know what's wrong with your brother, but he's going against your sister-in-law this time. I don't want to see your sister-in-law crying every day."”
Lin Siyan had a headache. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of wife Lin Sixing had married. When she first found out that this sister-in-law's family owned a grocery store, she thought that she should be a straightforward and generous person. However, after hearing Cui Shi's words, she felt that she was just like Lin Daiyu. She could not stand women who cried at every turn.
"Mother, brother isn't young anymore. You shouldn't worry about this kind of thing.”Lin Siyan said seriously," As the saying goes, when a husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed, the end of the bed ends. Besides, they've just gotten married. There's definitely some friction. Take me and *** for example. Occasionally, we'll have some arguments, but it'll be fine after.”
Madam Cui only heard half of what he said and asked anxiously," What happened between you and **? Did he bully you?"
Lin Siyan was stunned and suddenly smiled." No, you're very good to me. I'm just giving you an analogy." Don't worry about your brother and sister-in-law. They're not children anymore. They'll solve it themselves.”
Cui Shi heaved a sigh of relief. After listening to Lin Siyan's words, the worry on her face disappeared a lot. Then, he chatted with her for a while more before going home.
After sending Cui Corps off, Lin Siyan looked at the cloudy sky outside. She couldn't tell what time it was. She was half-hungry. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before noon. After thinking about it, she decided not to go into the mountain for the time being.
Sitting in front of the house, Lin Siyan looked back at the house. There were a lot of animal skins hanging in the utility room, and a few cloth bags filled with dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots. There were more than a dozen lively fish in the big water tank on the ground, including the vegetable field in the backyard, and the dowry box under the bed. These were the fruits of her marriage to Li ** for more than two months. But even so, she was still flustered and full of uncertainty and unease about the future.
There was too much rain, and it was not suitable to dig fish ponds in a short period of time. The business of selling fish had been snatched away by others. Without a fixed customer, it was not possible to sell many fish in a day just by setting up a stall in town. Moreover, it was a waste of time. The family's income now depended on Li Xiaobo's hunting and the herbs she dug up.
Although there was a lot of prey in the mountains, they did not always return with a full load. Lin Siyan had seen Li Xiaobo return empty-handed several times. After all, there was more than one village nearby. There were at least 20 to 30 families that relied on hunting for a living. Every family relied on the mountains to survive. If they wanted to hunt, they had to go deep into the mountains. The deeper they went, the more dangerous it was. There were more wolves, tigers, and leopards. Not to mention large wild animals, just some small insects and snakes could cause trouble for people.
Relying on the contents of the herb book, she also knew a lot of herbs. However, she only knew how to deal with them, but she did not know how to deal with them. Many herbs lost their medicinal properties. Up until now, she had only been picking herbs according to the requirements of the medicine shop. She only knew the simplest methods of dealing with herbs, such as drying them in the sun. If she really wanted to learn it, she would really be walking in the direction of Chinese medicine. However, she did not have the capital to do so.
Just as Lin Siyan was worrying, two people suddenly came to the door. It turned out that Zhou Xiaocui had come to visit with Madam Tian. She hurriedly welcomed the two into the house and brought a stool for them to sit down. Then, she said," The house is simple and crude. Don't mind it."”
"What's the big deal? We're not from rich families.”| Madam Tian smiled and said," I met your mother on the road just now. When I heard that you were at home, I came to play with you with Xiao Cui.”
"I don't have much work at home. When I have nothing to do, I just pick herbs on the mountain.”Lin Siyan smiled." If you have nothing to do, you can come and play with me often."”
" You're still talking," Zhou Xiaocui said with dissatisfaction." I've been here a few times, but no one's home every time."”
Lin Siyan was stunned, then she remembered that the original owner used to like to play with Zhou Xiaocui, but ever since she married Li Xiaobo, she never went to see him. She immediately felt embarrassed and said," When I was a girl at home, my parents wouldn't say anything if I didn't work. But after I married someone else, I didn't work much either. I was busy earning money every day, so I didn't dare to think about going out to play.”
Zhou Xiaocui looked sympathetic as she looked around the bamboo house. After a while, she looked at Lin Siyan as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Seeing this, Lin Siyan pretended that she didn't see Zhou Xiaocui's pitiful look as she waited for her to reply. As a result, Zhou Xiaocui looked even more pitiful, which made Lin Siyan unable to help but laugh in her heart. However, she wasn't a bad person, so after teasing Zhou Xiaocui for a while, she imitated the attitude of the original owner and Zhou Xiaocui and said," If you have something to say, just say it. It's uncomfortable to look at you stammering."”
" Then I'll say it." Zhou Xiaocui saw Lin Siyan's helpless look and Mrs. Tian's curious look, so she couldn't care less about anything else and asked," I just want to ask you, are you happy to marry him?"”
Lin Siyan waited for a while. Seeing that Zhou Xiaocui didn't say anything else and was filled with curiosity, she suddenly laughed." I thought you were going to ask something big with such an exaggerated look."”
Seeing that Lin Siyan didn't mind, Zhou Xiaocui couldn't help but urge her," Hurry up and say it. I'm curious."”
Lin Siyan thought about it seriously for a while and said," I don't know if I'm happy or not. Anyway, I eat and drink with my own hands. He won't care too much about me. I haven't blushed because of anything yet. I'm basically like an ordinary couple."”
" Alright." Zhou Xiaocui looked disappointed." I thought there would be something spectacular, like the stories of talented scholars and beautiful women."”
"That's just in the book. It can't be taken seriously.”Madam Tian quickly said," We're ordinary people. Just listen to it and it'll pass. It's enough as long as you can find a partner who knows your feelings in this life. Besides, your mother has already arranged a marriage for you, right?”
