Lin Sanshui had already calmed down after such a long time. He tried to calm Mrs. Jiang from time to time.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang could not stop crying, Lin Sanshui took out some silvers and handed them to Mrs. Jiang. “Don’t cry. I had beaten up that bastard. I have taken revenge for our son. Quickly put the silver away. I’ve bought lard, pork, and a bucket full of pig offal, all waiting for you to clean up!”

Mrs. Jiang’s crying stopped abruptly. She looked at the silver in her hand in a daze. She didn’t even care about her son and asked hurriedly, “Where did you get these silvers? Did you do anything bad?”

However, before Mrs. Jiang could finish, Lin Sanshui interrupted her in a bad mood. “I earned it. Where do you think I got it? I am not stupid. Do you think I would do something illegal?”

As he spoke, Lin Sanshui was a little proud.

Although he did not earn the silver, it was still earned by his daughter. After rounding it up, it was equivalent to him earning it.

“How did you earn it?” Mrs. Lin placed the silver in her mouth and bit it. After confirming that it was real, she asked with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang looked a little funny with her smile and tears around her eyes.

Erhu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this scene.

When his mother was crying, he didn’t feel good either. However, when he saw his mother forget about him after seeing the silver, he suddenly felt that he was also picked up from the streets like her sister!

In the yard, the brothers and sister moved everything from the ox cart. It was almost afternoon.

They walked into the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot. There was still some food in it.

After eating a little, Gu Nian wanted to organize the things she had bought.

Unfortunately, she was small and had little strength. She couldn’t lift the bucket and cut the meat well.

Dahu saw this and laughed silently. He walked over and said, “Nian Nian, what should we do? Tell me. I will be your coolie today and do whatever you want, alright?”

Dahu thought he had worked in the restaurant’s kitchen for more than a year. Although he was not good enough to be a chef, he could still make home-cooked meals.

Gu Nian said she could cook well, but she was still young. Hence, Dahu wanted to watch over her so she would not ruin the ingredients.

“Alright, let’s go and wash these things first!” Gu Nian nodded hurriedly. It would be best if she had someone to help her.

The water in the house was from the well in the village. It was not easy to wash pig’s offal at home, and it also consumed water. So, when there were many things to wash at home, they would go to the small river.

Fortunately, the mountains and rivers here were beautiful, and there were rivers and streams everywhere in the fields. There were also several ponds in the village.

The Lin family lived at the very front of the village. As soon as the gate opened, there was a forest in front of them. It was about a hundred steps to a pond. It was where they usually did their laundry and vegetables.

As Dahu carried the pig offal into the water, Gu Nian took out a shovel of plant ash from under the pot and found a sack to put it in. Then, she followed Dahu.

It took half the afternoon to clean up everything. Fortunately, Gu Nian only needed to move her mouth. Otherwise, she would not be able to finish it herself.

When they got home, they saw that it was almost time.

At this moment, Mrs. Jiang came over and said, “You two must be exhausted from working for half the afternoon, right? Quickly go and rest. I will handle the rest.”

If it were any other time, Mrs. Jiang would give Lin Sanshui a good scolding for buying so much meat.

However, it was different today. With money in hand, Mrs. Jiang did not get angry. With a huge sum of ten taels of silver and a few catties of meat, she did not feel like it was wasteful.
