914 The Beginning of Spring
Since Lin sanniu’s family was willing to help out for free, Lin yuelan naturally wouldn’t mind letting them have a daily meal.
Lin yuelan called Lin Dawei and Lin Jiawei over and ordered, ” uncle Wei, arrange for Lin Sanniu and his wife to go to the fourth mountain. Lin Yueru and Lin Dazu will go to pull out the roots!”
Lin Dawei and his son had no objections to Lin yuelan’s instructions.
But …
Lin Dawei said hesitantly, ” Lan ‘Er, Dazu, and Yueru are still young. If you arrange for them to work, I’m worried …”
As their elder sister, she actually forced her younger brother’s wife to work. Once such a rumor spread, it would be very detrimental to the reputation of Lan ‘Er.
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” don’t worry, Uncle Dawei. Which child in the countryside doesn’t work? They are eleven and nine. Don’t tell me they can’t even pull out roots. I’m not their sister now, so if they want to eat, they have to work. Whoever can’t stand it, fine, then bring the siblings to their house and let these gossipmongers take good care of them.”
She wasn’t running a charity, so she did not have to take care of these people unconditionally and kindly.
For the people in the countryside, it didn’t matter how young they were. As long as they could start working, they had to work unless their parents really couldn’t bear to let them suffer.
However, it was obvious that Lin Yueru and Lin Dazu didn’t have such a good life.
Therefore, if they wanted to eat, they had to work.
Lin Dawei nodded and said, “Okay, I understand.”
Lin Sanniu’s family of four ate in the dining hall of Lin Family Garden. Lin Jiawei led them to the fourth Hill in the plan. He pointed to a piece of land and said, “Uncle Sanniu, this is where your family will work.”
Lin Sanniu’s face darkened as he looked at the land that took up almost half of the mountaintop. He asked sternly, “How long do you want us to work on such a large piece of land? You’ve really gone too far.”
Lin Jiawei wasn’t frightened by his stern voice. He said seriously, ” uncle Sanniu, everyone who comes here to work must have a scope of work. Otherwise, there is a possibility of lazy people. This area is divided according to your numbers and abilities. For everyone who came here to work, there was no difference in size. The earlier you finish, the earlier you can get your pay.”
Lin Sanniu replied unhappily, ” but we won’t have any pay. That wretched girl, will she only be satisfied when we die of exhaustion?”
Hearing Lin sanniu’s words, Lin Jiawei’s face turned ugly. He said sternly, “Uncle Sanniu, you can’t say that about sister Lan. You’re the ones who volunteered to come here to work. If you don’t want to do it, you can leave at any time.
“However, it was written in the contract that if you worked for a day, you could eat for a day. If you didn’t work, you wouldn’t have food. That’s all I have to say. Whether you want to work or not, it’s your choice. I still have things to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
After Lin Jiawei finished speaking, he went down the mountain regardless of their reaction.
After the Lin family’s only one had left, Lin sanniu’s anger was immediately directed at Chen Xiaoqing, “Look at you, you really gave birth to a good daughter. In the past, did we skimp on food or clothes for her? Now that she’s rich, not only does she not recognize her parents, but she also wants us to work for her for free.”
Chen Xiaoqing was already numb from all the scolding.
Listening to Lin sanniu’s accusations, she picked up the hoe silently and started working. She did not refute or defend herself.
To her, she actually knew very well that her kneeling before the end of the year had destroyed all the feelings between her and her elder daughter.
Therefore, Lin yuelan was already very kind to them by giving them work and food to eat.
Otherwise, with the things that had happened in the past and the reform of the ” filial piety Law,” Lin yuelan could completely ignore their existence and not care about their life and death.
Chen Xiaoqing sighed in her heart. She had received her retribution.
However, for the sake of her three other children, she had to live well and raise them.
However, on the surface, Chen Xiaoqing did not say anything and continued to be a weak and humble woman who followed her husband.
