The outer house they are talking about is the dilapidated courtyard that Lin Wanbai is about to move into.

said that it was a broken house, and it was really worthy of the name.

A small courtyard house, the gate chain is rusty, and the wall has collapsed a large piece, which can not resist at all.

Walking in, there is a well full of fallen leaves and mossy on the side, and a few begonia trees are planted on the other side.

The structure of the tiled room is even simpler, as soon as you walk in, there is a narrow living room, and there are two rooms on the left-hand side, the space is only enough to put a bed, a table and two chairs, and there is no room to move around.

As soon as Lin Wanbai walked in, he smelled a strong musty smell.

She frowned, forced herself in, opened all the windows, and exited to take a big breath of fresh air.

Aunt Zhao stood outside the door, holding a handkerchief tightly with one hand and covering her heart, her brows tightly locked.

Lin Wanbai thought that she was unhappy when she saw such a bad environment, so she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, patted her heart and said, "Mother, it's okay, I'll clean up this place soon, and I can live tonight." ”

Aunt Zhao listened, but kept shaking her head on the side, even more sad.

Although it is said that the life in the Lin Mansion is not good, but after all, she does not have to worry about food and clothing, and now because of her temporary temper, she has ended up like this. She felt that she would rather live a hard life than live under the calculations and contempt of others, but she didn't think about whether Aunt Zhao also wanted this kind of life. “

Mother, did I do something wrong? ”

Lin Wanbai cautiously asked, if it was the previous master, what would she do, at least she would never let the mother and daughter end up like this.

Aunt Zhao shook her head again, stretched out her hand to pull Lin Wanbai, touched her face, and said reluctantly: "It's useless to be a mother, I can't give you fine clothes and food, and now I still end up like this, so that you can suffer with your mother." ”

Her words moved Lin Wanbai's heart for a while, she could have a mother who loved her so much in another world, no matter what hardships she encountered, she felt that she could get by.

Now, though, is not the time to be moved. wants to clean up this dilapidated house that no one has lived in for more than ten years, relying on the two of them alone, if they don't hurry up, maybe they won't be able to live tonight.

"Mother, you take a rest first, I'll go fetch water and wash the house."

Lin Wanbai gave her a reassuring smile, then picked up an iron bucket in the stove room on the side, tied it with a rope, and walked to the well.

Because for more than ten years, no one has used this well, and no one has cleaned it, although it is said that it can still produce water, but the wellhead is full of all kinds of dead leaves, rotten and moldy, and emits a foul smell.

Lin Wanbai frowned, didn't think much about it, and directly picked it up with his hands, and then used a long shovel to salvage. After only a few clicks, Lin Wanbai felt a hot stinging pain in his palm, and when he looked down, it turned out that two blood blisters had been ground out of his palm.

Although Lin Wanbai was despised by the people in the Lin Mansion, he was also a person with status, and he never needed to do heavy work himself, with a pair of white and slender hands, he raised them like green onions, white and tender. Such skillful hands can't do heavy work.

Lin Wanbai gritted his teeth and wrapped two circles of cloth strips in his palm, there was no maid to serve, and he did everything himself.

finally cleaned up the abandoned well, and Aunt Zhao also roughly cleaned the stove room.

Don't look at Aunt Zhao's weak appearance, but when she hadn't become Lin Hongan's house-filler, she had done all kinds of rough work in her mother's house, which was not difficult for her.

Lin Wanbai walked to the begonia tree and sat down, and opened the small package that Lin Tianxu gave her, all of which were some broken silver, and the size was uneven, and it could be seen that it was made up temporarily.

Although Lin Tianxu is the son-in-law of the Lin family, and his food and clothing are not bad, he has not yet started a family, and he only receives money on a monthly basis.

Lin Wanbai looked at the crumbling old house, and sighed in her heart, she didn't understand the unit of measurement here, and even if she gave her silver, she didn't know how to spend it.

"Mother, I want to ask you something."

Although Lin Wanbai doesn't understand, there is a native here, so don't worry.

Aunt Zhao heard Lin Wanbai call her, raised her head and looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"We only have some bedding and clothes, which are not enough to live, and I want my mother to add some pots and pans, as well as lamp oil for tonight."

The dynasty without electricity is really too aggrieved, this is Lin Wanbai's inner monologue.

After Aunt Zhao heard this, she laughed, looked at Lin Wanbai and said, "Wan'er is suddenly so sensible, which really surprised my mother." ”

Lin Wanbai felt happy in her heart, took out the package and handed it to Aunt Zhao and said, "Is this enough silver?" ”

She has no idea about the money and silver of this dynasty.

Aunt Zhao was taken aback when she saw it, took it over and said, "The eldest young master actually gave so much silver, how can this kindness be repaid." ”

"Okay, while it's still early, I've been delayed."

Although it was summer, basically he couldn't work as soon as it was dark, and Lin Wanbai didn't want to delay time.

Aunt Zhao looked at Lin Wanbai's anxious appearance, and said dotingly: "Why do you seem to have changed as a person, you used to be unhurried, I don't know how many times I have been told it." ”

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Lin Wanbai said with a little weakness, and watched Aunt Zhao leave, before she walked into the room and took out the perfume from her arms, which she had just been in the Lin Mansion, and stuffed it in her arms while the maids who were cleaning up were not paying attention.

On the third day, she rubbed her ankles, and although the swelling gradually subsided, she could barely walk without the bamboo pestle, but she still had to rest more.

She looked sadly at the dilapidated house, there were several gaps in the tiles on it, and if it rained, it would really be without tiles to cover her head.

Although Lin Tianxu gave a lot of silver, there is almost no complete place in this dilapidated house, and if you really want to live in it, I am afraid it will cost you a sum of money to repair it.

Moreover, her intuition told her that being kicked out this time was definitely not only because of her stubbornness and backtalk, even if she didn't do anything, she couldn't escape the fate of being kicked out.

She was divorced from the marriage in just one night, and then she was kicked out in anger, and she smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

The biggest problem in front of Lin Wanbai now is not the leaky roof, nor the collapsed wall, nor when Lin Hongan will let them go back.

It's about how to survive.

can't sit on the empty side, she stretches out her hand to ask Lin Tianxu for money every month, if that's really the case, she really wants to slap herself a few times.

Lin Wanbai set his eyes on the perfume record, the Lin family is a family of perfumery, and they also have a hereditary title, branded with the name of the Lin family, and the price of spices has soared.

Even if she doesn't know anything about it, the perfume book is destined to use materials, dosage and blending methods, even a layman like her can pretend to be an expert.

Aunt Zhao came back soon, holding many things in her hands, all of which were necessities of life, and there was no waste at all.

However, in addition to these, she also has a few more silk ribbons in her hand.

"Wan'er, my mother can't afford to buy hairpins, only these ribbons, don't dislike them."

Life is so frugal, but Aunt Zhao still doesn't forget to give her daughter the best qiē.
