"......" Lin Yue smiled and thanked him.

Actually, she didn't want to trouble people, so she didn't want to go.

Regarding how to take his younger brothers and sisters to make a living in the future, Lin Yue thought about it before returning to Qinhe City in the carriage of the friend of the sixth son.

Even though she doesn't currently have the skills that the system gives her, she's still a talented person. Now that I have come to Jingxi Country, I don't have to worry about living a good life.

Yanzhou in the Jingxi Dynasty was very prosperous, and in the prosperous era, it was not difficult to make money.

After Lin Yue said goodbye to the woman who was on an errand in the county office, he got out of the carriage and went to his distant uncle's house.

The blood relationship between my uncle and Lin Yue's adoptive father is a bit distant, but because Lin Yue's adoptive father was alive, he had a lot of contact with them, and he didn't help them less. Therefore, after they encountered an accident in Lin Yue's family, they helped Lin Yue's adoptive mother take care of the two children.

Originally, Lin Yue was embarrassed to walk with her relatives empty-handed. But now she doesn't even have a good dress to wear, and she can't pay much attention to it.

Fortunately, before getting off the carriage, Lin Yue hid in the carriage and changed into clean clothes before getting off. Otherwise, if you come in those dirty clothes, you may be disgusted by your uncle's eldest daughter-in-law.

The cloth shoes are only worn on the feet, and they are all worn out, and there are no cloth shoes to change.

Lin Yue walked to the door of the row of low earthen houses step by step, stood outside the wooden door, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.

Soon, a dog barked nearby.

After a while, a woman wearing coarse cloth clothes, black trousers, and a child on her back came to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue saw his distant uncle-in-law Du Shi, and greeted him cordially: "Uncle." These days, thanks to you guys helping me take care of my younger siblings......"

When Du Shi heard this, he couldn't help but reproach softly:

"What are you doing with these polite words, you kid?"

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yue, only to see that there were still bruises on the child's face, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

In fact, Du Shi lives in Qinhe County, as long as it happens in the county, she can naturally know. Just yesterday, some villagers in the village who had entered the county seat were discussing Lin Yue's family as soon as they returned to the village.

They said that the carpenter's girl was so fat that she had to complain and shake out all the troubles caused by the relatives of the rich man.

No, the county lord rewarded the girl with some gold, but the girl was stupid and didn't ask for it.

Oh, don't, see how she will live when she comes back?

Anyway, the people in Huaxi Village, if anyone offends the rich man Liu, they will not have a good life. When the time comes, the girl will take her younger siblings and drink the wind.

Du Shi didn't say those words to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue reached out to pick up the basket that Du Shi was carrying on his shoulder, so that he could carry his little sister on his back.

However, Du Shi shook his head slightly, took Lin Yue's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go into the house first." You must not have eaten yet, and I just happened to make some corn and vegetable porridge for your sister, and you two will eat together. ”

Lin Yue said gratefully:

"Yes, auntie."

Following Du Shi into the house, Lin Yue consciously took over the basket and prepared to carry his sister on his back.

Du Shi moved a chair over and said to Lin Yue, "Lean on." You're hurt, but it's better to carry it for a while. ”

Lin Yue thanked him.

She had been injured, and Du Shi also knew about it. It seems that Du Shi must have known about the fact that she went to the county government last night.

Sitting down, Lin Yue planned to help Du Shi pick vegetables. But Du Shi only washed a green cabbage, grabbed some cornmeal from the cloth bag, and put it in a crockpot to cook.

Du Shi glanced at Lin Yue apologetically and said, "Yue'er, it's not that your aunt doesn't entertain you to eat well, it's that our family is really difficult." You see, your three cousins still haven't gotten a daughter-in-law, and they've been fined again this year......"

My aunt and uncle had four sons, and only the eldest son got married, but there were no children after marriage.

The other three sons, all in their thirties, have not yet taken a wife.

In this Jingxi Dynasty, the marriage of a man and a woman is a major national event, which is related to social stability, and the people above attach great importance to it. It's not like in the new world, if you can't meet the right one, you'll be single, and your sister is as beautiful as a flower and can make money by herself, who can she be afraid of?

At this time, it is in the Jingxi Dynasty, you can do it alone, one is to have enough money to pay the fine, and the other is not to be hurt by rumors.

The former is just like the daughter of the butcher Hu in Qinhe City. When she was twenty-three years old, she finally picked a Lang Jun who satisfied her and got married.

For the previous seven years, her father Hu butcher paid her a fine.

The latter is the same as the eldest daughter-in-law of my uncle's family. When the woman was less than ten years old, she went to work as a rough maid at the house of a rich horse on the outskirts of Qinhe City.

Who knew that when the woman was fourteen or five years old, she somehow fell on the soft couch with the second son of the rich man's family, and was caught by the daughter-in-law of the rich man.

The daughter-in-law of the rich man, regardless of how the woman explained, directly let out the words:

"If anyone who the hell marries this fox I, the old lady will give him a hundred copper coins."

On that day, my uncle's eldest son happened to pick up firewood to go into the city to sell it, and he also heard about it. Immediately, he didn't care about the woman's conduct, just thinking that from now on, he didn't have to pay a fine, and he could have a daughter-in-law who helped with laundry and cooking.

It's worth it.

So, he hurriedly sold the firewood for money, and hurried to the rich man's house to take the people.

From then on, the woman became the eldest daughter-in-law of her uncle.

Lin Yue didn't want to stay at her uncle's house for long, after all, after the eldest cousin's daughter-in-law got married, she often found opportunities to go into the city, so that she could sneak out and quietly take a look at the second son of the Ma family.

Maybe the woman doesn't know that the second son of the Ma family is a scholar, how can she take a fancy to an illiterate peasant girl?

When Lin Yue's adoptive mother was still alive, the woman once went to talk to Lin Yue and wanted to marry Lin Yue to this village. Lin Yue thought to herself, that woman would definitely be able to benefit from it.

Otherwise, the woman would not take the initiative to run to the matchmaker.

Not long after the woman went to propose, Lin Yue's adoptive father fell ill and left.

When the woman saw Lin Yue later, she didn't bother to say hello to Lin Yue. He once pointed to Lin Yue's nose and said: "You have to keep filial piety for your father for three years, and if you are dissatisfied for three years, don't go to my house to pay us New Year's greetings!" ”

When Lin Yue thought of that annoying woman, his heart was not very comfortable. But my aunt is not bad, and that woman can't compare.

Uncle Du Shi quickly cooked porridge, very light porridge.

Lin Yue took the porcelain bowl and waited for the porridge to become warm before feeding it to her little sister with a spoon. The child was skinny and skinny, but his big eyes were very clear.

The younger sister looked at her and babbled. She listened to what her sister said, like saying "mother", and like saying "sheep".

My sister was born before her adoptive father fell ill, and that day happened to be the first half of the month last year. A few days after my sister was born, my adoptive father became seriously ill and later left.

No, not long ago, the adoptive mother also left.

My sister is more than a year old, but she hasn't eaten much breast milk. Once upon a time, a mother-in-law in the village looked at her sister pitifully and gave her some goat's milk to drink.

Lin Yue thought to herself that her sister could say "sheep", and she might also be very grateful for sheep.

took a spoon to feed the porridge to her sister, and Lin Yue was reluctant to drink it. I was worried about my brother, and I didn't want to ask my aunt where my brother was.

This year, my younger brother is six years old and can already do some simple work. I used to help my relatives go to the field to pick chrysanthemums and sell them, but I didn't suffer less.

When you come to a relative's house, how can you be idle?

Just as Lin Yue was pondering, he heard a slight footstep. She looked up and saw that her brother had come to the door with a cucumber in his hand.
