Chapter 268: The Livelihood of the Orions
Coming with triumph and leaving with anger.
After this trouble, Lin Jinhua's originally enviable family affairs will only make people gossip and disdain.
For the sake of money and to marry a rich man, he did not hesitate to be a stepmother to someone who was a few years younger than him, and he was ruthless enough to himself.
Lin Yanniang and Yun Jing's house went back to the kitchen to have dinner, and Yun Jingning was also by her side, making her laugh, not mentioning what happened outside just now.
Lin Song only glanced at the kitchen door a few times just now, and he didn't know what to say when he saw this.
Although it is a good family business, it will be gossiped by the village people in the future, but who is to blame? If you are restless and want to stir up trouble, you must have the consciousness to bear the consequences.
Suddenly the wind howled that night, and it began to rain in the second half of the night.
Lin Yanniang woke up and looked out the window, and immediately let the man's big palm into her arms.
"Don't freeze." The man muttered, his big palm squeezed.
Lin Yanniang was so angry that she slapped him away and said angrily: "I don't know how to stop in the middle of the night." ”
"Hehe" the man chuckled, opened his eyes, and looked down at the little daughter-in-law who looked sleepy and didn't forget to stare at people, "It's really ruthless to treat people's kindness as donkey liver and lungs." ”
"Shut up! Go to bed! Lin Yanniang didn't bother to tear up with him, so she closed her eyes after scolding.
only to open his eyes again in an instant and glared at the man who was obviously sleepless: "Do you want to fight in the middle of the night?" I still want to go sleep with the horses! ”
"Sleep, sleep! Stop arguing! Yun Jingning was startled, and quickly took her palm back from her daughter-in-law, and only hugged her peacefully, never daring to move anymore.
A mountain rain is coming, and it will become invisible.
After a night, the rain stopped, the early morning wind was cold, and even the air in the house was cold and swishing, and the fog could be seen in a puff.
After Lin Yanniang woke up, she was encircled by the man again.
"You wake up later, I'll go get hot water first." He got up first, tucked the quilt for her, and then got off the kang and dressed.
Lin Yanniang looked at him shirtless and not afraid of the cold at all, her eyes narrowed slightly, but she thought unconvinced in her heart.
At this time last year, she still went up to the mountains to hunt in the dark, walking in the mountains like ice and snow.
Because of the cold, everyone didn't dare to stop at all, just hoping to catch one or two small hunts, and they could earn a few tens of dollars a day.
The nest head that was hot in the morning became cold on the way up the mountain, and I couldn't bite it when I gnawed at noon, so I could only chew and swallow it with difficulty.
It is really not easy for poor families to make a living, she has endured hardships, and at this time she can't help but be a little worried about the problem of the poor in winter.
The farmers can still nest in the winter after harvesting the grain, and the hunters are still on the mountain every other day, as long as it does not rain, even the wind and snow will go.
In the past, there were tigers in the Boar Ridge, and everyone did not dare to cross over, and every time they were far away, they only hunted in the Sungai Ridge.
Nowadays, I still can't go to Wild Boar Ridge, so I can only try my luck at Sungai Ridge.
If this continues, there are too many hunters in the village, and under the common advance and retreat, the division of profits will also be lowered, but if you don't hunt, the family has limited land, and it is not enough for the family to live.
"Third Brother Yun......" Before the man left the house, Lin Yanniang suddenly called him.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you call me?" The man turned around and walked towards the kang with an evil expression.
"Husband......" Lin Yanniang grinned embarrassedly.
After shouting so many times, it's not that he can't speak now, it's just that he has been away from home for too long, and every time he comes back, he has to change his words with difficulty, and he is a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter, the lady has something to do, just tell me."
Yun Jingning sat down on the side of the kang, leaned over and kissed Lin Yanniang on the lips, looking at her gently.
"I'm thinking, Baihua Pass has been built, this Baihua Mountain should be safe, why hasn't the Boar Ridge been let go?"
"There are more prey over there, and the hunters have received compensation silver, and they can't always go over, seeing that winter is coming, how can they survive the winter if they don't make more money? I'm going to have to stop hunting after the year. ”
They have a rule of not hunting in spring, that is, spring is the time when all things grow and multiply, out of reverence for heaven and earth and life, the hunters put away their bows and arrows and hunting forks, and do not hunt.
It will be up the mountain again after the beginning of summer.
Therefore, in the spring, the hunters will help with spring plowing at home, and they will rest when they are tired in the winter, or go outside to find odd jobs.
Every year, she is the only one, there is no land at home, and her father and mother do not approve of her going out to work, saying that it is hard for a year, so take the opportunity to rest and do needlework at home.
Therefore, she used this time to sew and mend, make clothes and shoes, or learn embroidery from her mother, and then urged her two younger brothers to study and practice martial arts.
In previous years, it had been like this, but now that she was no longer hunting and living a good life at home, she was a little worried about the livelihood of other hunters.
It's all Orion, naturally understood.
"I'm afraid that the wild boar ridge can't be opened, the defenders have been in Baishui Pass for so long, they have long wanted to eat wild food and enter the mountain, if they meet the hunters, won't they scare the hunters?"
"If you want to talk about archery, we have a real big bow and strong crossbow, everyone is practicing every day, you hunters are at most at the level of fighting, so don't go inside."
"Don't worry, I've asked the county to take people to measure the mountains and wasteland, I know that there are not enough people in the yamen, so I have arranged two hundred sappers."
"I should estimate an approximate number this month, and when I go back to the Ming court, I will give you a few villages a few points. Give more points to the hunters in the two villages, so that everyone can focus on farming, and they can eat without hunting. ”
"Although Baihua Mountain is big, it can't withstand so many hunters hunting year after year, not to mention that even if there is no war, Baihua Pass will not be less than three thousand defenders."
"The food in the camp is not bad, but the place where the activities in the pass is not as good as that in the north pass, and the people who don't practice and patrol the sentry want to hunt on weekdays, and it is convenient to enter the mountains, so they have to keep that place for them."
"I know, it's that the Wild Boar Ridge has become the Baihua Pass, and those of us who don't know whether it's inside or outside the gate now, don't go to join in the fun."
Lin Yanniang listened to this, and muttered unhappily.
"I don't want to leave too many gaps in the rear and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of."
Yun Jingning couldn't help but laugh when she saw that her little daughter-in-law was still complaining to him, and reached out to pinch her cheeks.
was originally skinny, but these days I have a safe baby, I eat well and move less, so I have grown some meat, and I feel better and better last night.
If it weren't for the fear that she wouldn't be able to eat in the future, I would have wanted more last night.
"Hurry up and fetch water! I'm getting up! Lin Yanniang stretched out her hand from the quilt with difficulty, slapped off his big palm, and gave him a blank look.
"Oh, my daughter-in-law has such a violent temper!" Yun Jingning laughed and hurriedly fetched water.
At this time, the sky outside was gray, although the rain had stopped, the wind was still blowing, and although the floor tiles in the yard were damp, there was no water accumulation.
He closed the door and strode towards the Lin family.
