Lin Zifu smiled faintly: "What can I think, where is my aunt thinking, I'm a widow." ”

She was quite happy to be a widow, because it would get rid of a lot of trouble.

Aunt Liao glanced at Lin Zifu directly, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of widow are you, is it worth it for a dead man, you are only thirteen years old, even if this marriage is ruined, no one cares about you." ”

I have to say that what Aunt Liao said is very reasonable, it is undoubtedly cruel to let a minor yellow flower girl be widowed, and it is considered to be benevolent and righteous to keep filial piety for three years.

Being a little widow is what Lin Zifu is looking forward to the most, and she waved her hand again and again: "That being said, I can't do this, and my husband's family won't agree, I went up the mountain to collect medicine and sold a little copper money yesterday, and I have to thank Aunt Liao for help." ”

Aunt Liao didn't expect that Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying were busy in the woods for a day yesterday, and they really made money, so they must not have paid much attention to it, and said: "Don't say kind words, we are also neighbors in the future, we are all from the same village, and everyone should help each other. ”

She is enthusiastic, I don't know why, seeing the scar on Aunt Ying's face, thinking about Lin Zifu's thirteen-year-old widowhood, she inexplicably feels that both of them are people with stories.

After Aunt Liao went back, Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying began to plan to dig herbs.

Now it seems that Mai Dong is worth more than other herbs, although this season is a little later to dig Mai Dong, but the climate in the mountains is originally later than outside, according to the cost performance, the two of them pondered or decided to dig Mai Dong first.

Carrying a hoe and carrying a basket on his back, he went straight up the mountain.

Aunt Ying felt sorry for Lin Zifu and didn't let Lin Zifu touch the hoe, as soon as she arrived in the forest, she twisted the hoe herself and dug it.

Lin Zifu is not idle, carrying a basket to cut motherwort, there are a lot of these things in the open space, and there are a lot of perilla or something.

Anyway, as long as it is a medicinal herb, she will pick it and put it in the back basket, and when the back basket is full, Aunt Ying also dug up a lot of wheat seedlings, and the wheat winter at the root of the wheat winter seedlings is exposed a lot, which is very gratifying.

Aunt Ying is very motivated, when she was in Zhou's mansion before, she lived one day at a time, and the maids in the mansion liked to bully her, and gradually her temper became more and more withdrawn and weird, Mrs. Zhou didn't let Zhou Mingqi see her, and she never saw Zhou Mingqi after she was injured.

She herself used to have a child, but the child died before she could eat a mouthful of milk, and her husband sold her directly to the Zhou family, took the silver and married a younger daughter-in-law than her.

At that time, she was dead, and when she saw Zhou Mingqi in the swaddling clothes, she really regarded Zhou Mingqi as her own child.

That year, Zhou Mingqi was only three years old, she and Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Mingqi to the City God Temple outside the city to offer incense, but they didn't want to meet bandits, and the other party knew that the eldest son of the Zhou family was there, so they wanted to snatch the child and threaten Master Zhou to take the ransom.

She hugged Zhou Mingqi to the death, and the bandit who robbed her threatened her with a dagger, and her face was cut by the dagger in the fight, and blood flowed down, and later people nearby came to help drive away the bandits.

Since then, because of that hideous scar, Mrs. Zhou has rejected her very much, but Zhou Mingqi has been playing with her temper and must see her.

Mrs. Zhou asked her to see Zhou Mingqi once through the window with her face covered, and since then, she has never seen Zhou Mingqi again.

Later, after a long time, Mrs. Zhou wanted to get rid of her, I heard that it was because of Zhou Mingqi's intercession, and I heard that Mrs. Zhou was afraid that someone outside would gossip, so she stayed in Zhou's mansion alone, living like a ghost.

She was very sympathetic when she knew Lin Zifu, she had no father and no mother and was sold by her uncle to marry her, how miserable this life is, at least it is worse than her, at least her life is still in her own hands, but Lin Zifu's life is not her own.

When everyone was taboo and didn't want to contact Lin Zifu, she was willing.

Lin Zifu fell asleep in the mourning hall that night, she secretly went to see it twice, and saw the thin body curled up in the corner, which was so distressing.

So she wanted to help Lin Zifu, knowing that Mrs. Zhou was not going to directly let Lin Zifu accompany her to the funeral, she breathed a sigh of relief, and later begged Mrs. Zhou to let her accompany Lin Zifu to the small village.

She didn't see the wrong person, Lin Zifu now treats her as a relative, and she can feel it.

She thought of the dead child, and also regarded Lin Zifu as her own child.

If the days go on, the burden must not fall on Lin Zifu, she really thought that no matter how hard and tired she was, she couldn't make Lin Zifu hungry.

But Lin Zifu's courage and ability are stronger than she imagined, which is very shocking.

Lin Zifu didn't know what Aunt Ying was thinking, and said while picking the wheat dong: "Does my mother-in-law know how much the medicine hall buys the concocted wheat dong?" ”

Aunt Ying came back to her senses and shook her head at Lin Zifu with a smile.

Lin Zifu was very happy, and explained with a smile: "The raw wheat dong is only four yuan, and the dry wheat winter is twenty-five yuan, generally two and a half to three pounds can dry one pound of dry wheat winter, we should have five or six pounds of picks here, and we can dry two pounds of dry wheat winter, that is, we can earn fifty dollars, mother-in-law, the days of our fragrant and spicy drinks are one step closer." ”

She is very optimistic, as long as she can earn money, she is steady.

I was excited when I thought of fifty yuan, making money by myself was more down-to-earth than taking silver from the Zhou family.

Aunt Ying is familiar with Lin Zifu, but she doesn't care so much about her appearance, because she doesn't reject Lin Zifu, and gradually becomes real, and she says happily in her heart: "This is a good thing, in the future, I will count on you to live a good life." ”

Although fifty dollars is not much, it is the hope of the two of them.

As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter how much you earn every day, your heart is steady.

It wasn't until the evening that the two of them went home, and the wheat in the forest was basically dug up, Lin Zifu understood the importance of reproduction, and after picking the wheat winter, it took a little time to plant those seedlings back.

Carrying the basket home, Lin Zifu was even busier, cleaning Mai Dong, drying Mai Dong, and cleaning herbs such as perilla and motherwort.

Perilla needs to be dried, and if you want to prepare it well, you also need to chop it.

Holding a cutting board and a kitchen knife, I cut it slowly, and cut it very carefully.

If you use medicine, the medicinal materials must be short, and the length must also be exquisite, which is difficult for Lin Zifu.

Aunt Ying was busy making dinner, and the two were in harmony.

He Dayou came with two dustpans.

He heard that Lin Zifu needed a dustpan to dry the herbs, so he made two at home when he was fine during the day, and sent them over before it was completely dark.

Seeing He Dayou standing at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Zifu hurriedly went to open the door.
