Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 67

"Okay, don't say such provocative words, you listen carefully to the steps of making lip balm, first squeeze out the flower juice in the flower mud and filter it into a clean container, then add beeswax to melt it, and then mix the two Stir it well, then can it in a container and wait to cool."

Lin Xiao told Lan Lian the steps in detail.

"That's it, I remember it."

Lan Lian nodded.

"Well, you deal with the flower juice first, and I'll go to Mazi's house."

She had to ask Mazi to increase the intensity of collecting rock salt and coarse salt, otherwise it would be too late to make large quantities of table salt.

When passing by a villager's house, Lin Xiao heard men cursing, middle-aged and elderly women chiming in, and a young woman sobbing vaguely.

"Cry! Cry! Cry all the time! You prodigal bitch! Why do I keep you for food! Still crying! Still crying!"

"Son, beat me! Beat it to death! A hen that doesn't lay eggs has the face to cry? Don't be afraid of being laughed at by others!"

The voice of the middle-aged and elderly woman fanning the flames was extremely ear-piercing.

Lin Xiao, who was standing outside, frowned when he heard the movement inside.

The male owner of this family is Lin Da, and his mother is known as Aunt Widow.

It's not because she's a widow, but like the original owner's mother, she lost her husband in her early years and raised the child by herself.

She has a withdrawn and weird personality, and rarely gets close to the villagers, giving people a particularly dull feeling.

At the beginning, some village women called her "widowed aunt, widowed aunt" jokingly, and over time, everyone acquiesced to this title.

Linda's daughter-in-law is Han Xi'er, who, like Han Ruoshui, is from the Han family village.

Han Xi'er's family is even richer than Han Ruoshui's.

How could such a wealthy daughter marry far away to the Lin family village where birds don't lay eggs and chickens don't shit?
Speaking of which, this incident had to start when Lin Da worked as a part-time worker at Han Xier's house.

That year, there was a drought in Linjia Village, and there was no harvest. The remaining food in the family was used to pay taxes, so all the villagers in Linjia Village went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables in order to survive.

Aunt Widow has a problem with digging wild vegetables. She likes to dig out the roots, because only wild vegetables that are rooted are not easy to lose their freshness.

But once the roots of wild vegetables are dug off, the harvest will be lost in the second year, so the villagers will not dig the roots, but dry the wild vegetables in the sun.

Although the taste is not fresh, it can at least be eaten and fill the stomach.

After the villagers discovered that the widow aunt had rooted wild vegetables, she had a big fight with the villagers, and then sent Lin Da, who was only ten years old, to Han Xier's house as a part-time laborer.

Everyone who went to Han Xier's house as a part-time or long-term worker in order to earn more wages, who didn't worship the master's house as a god?

But Lin Da, who is like a stubborn bull, is unique. He is different from other short-term workers and long-term workers. He always has conflicts with his master, and often quarrels with Han Xier, who is similar in age.

Often made her cry.

If the widow hadn't paid Lin Da's five-year salary in advance, the Han family would have driven him away long ago!
Han Xi'er's concubine, Han Xi'er's concubine, deliberately made things difficult for Lin Da in every possible way in order to vent her anger on Han Xi'er, and made Lin Da do heavy work from time to time without giving him food.

The condition of the widow's aunt's family is poor, and Lin Da is a young man who has just turned ten years old. How can he bear this?

Soon he was ill.

If Han Xi'er hadn't called a doctor to treat him, the grass on the grave would have been almost waist high.

After this time, Lin Da felt a deep gratitude to Han Xier who saved his life, and fell in love with her deeply unconsciously.

Han Xier was greedy for honey, even if he was stung by a bee and turned into a pig's head, he would go to the mountain to collect honey and give it to her without hesitation.

Han Xier wanted to eat roasted wild rabbit meat, so he ran to the deep mountains and old forests to catch wild rabbits and brought them back to her.

Han Xier wanted to drink, so he sneaked into the town to buy wine...

If Han Xier wants to do something, as long as Lin Da is there, he will definitely do his best to do it.

Gradually, the two people turned from the original happy enemies into lovers clinging to each other.

In a blink of an eye, five years have passed, and the short-term labor contract signed by Lin Da and Han Xi'er's family has expired, and Lin Da is about to leave Han's Village.

"Xi'er, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me, you're welcome."

As Lin Da spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table. On it was a simple map drawn with a red pen, which was the route to Linjiacun.

"Brother Lin, do you have to go?"

Han Xier asked tearfully.

Lin Da nodded:

"My mother is still waiting for me at home. After so many years, I don't know if she is safe or not."

The tip of Han Xi'er's nose was slightly sore, and her eyes were moist.

Her hand held Lin Da's arm tightly and refused to let go.

She knew that this might be the last time we met.

Lin Da's body froze, and an expression of pain and struggle appeared in his eyes.

Han Xier's tears fell on the table.

She slowly let go of her hand, as if she had made up her mind, wiped away her tears, and said to Lin Dao:
"Brother Lin, don't worry, Xi'er will definitely look for you!"

In the wicked feudal society, how could a woman climb mountains and wade to find a man?

What's more, the gap between the two people's family background is an insurmountable gap!
So when Lin Da heard this sentence, he didn't pay much attention to it, he just thought it was Han Xier's nonsense.

However, what he never expected was that about a month after he returned home, Han Xier really came to his home.

It is different from Miss Han who wears beautiful satin clothes and inlaid jewelry in Hanjia Village.

At this moment, Han Xi'er was wearing coarse linen clothes, and she didn't even have any decent jewelry on her head!
Lin Da was shocked when he saw this scene.

Later, when Han Xier cried and complained, he learned that Han Xier broke with his parents at home in order to be with him, and came to Linjiacun alone.

The widow did not like to see the daughter-in-law who came to her door.

She couldn't carry it on her shoulders, couldn't lift it with her hands, and couldn't even cook. Apart from her pretty face, she really didn't have any advantages.

On the contrary, Lin Da loves this daughter-in-law in every possible way, treats her like a baby, and follows her in almost everything. No matter what she does wrong, Lin Da will not blame her.

This made the widow very angry, and she didn't like to see Han Xi'er, the daughter-in-law even more!

As long as Lin Da is not at home, she will try her best to torture Han Xier.

That winter, the weather was extremely cold.

Lin Da bid farewell to his wife who was more than eight months pregnant, and went up the mountain with Lin Xiaowu to rob and supplement the family.

Seeing that her son was not at home and no one was protecting Han Xier, the widowed aunt began to bully her recklessly again.

A pregnant woman who has been pregnant for more than eight months has to go down the river to catch fish for her with her big belly, saying that the mouth is bland and tasteless, and she can't eat anything else, so she has to eat fish.

Linjia Village is originally a village with few resources. Even in summer, there are not many fish in the river, let alone winter.
