Lin Sanshui after so long had finally calmed down, and was even persuading Mrs. Jiang from time to time.
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop crying, Lin Sanshui simply took out the silver ingot from his chest and handed it to Mrs. Jiang, "Stop crying, I also gave that guy with the surname Li a beating, so I've avenged our son. Quickly put away the silver, I also bought lard and pork, and there's a full bucket of pig offal waiting for you to deal with!"
Mrs. Jiang's crying stopped abruptly, she stared blankly at the silver that was stuffed into her hands, not even caring about her son anymore, and hurriedly asked, "Their father, where did this silver come from? You didn't…" do anything bad, did you?
However, before Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Lin Sanshui interrupted her irritably, "Of course it's earned, where else do you think it came from? Your man isn't a fool, could I possibly do anything illegal?"
With that said, Lin Sanshui felt a bit proud.
Although the silver wasn't earned by him, it was earned by his daughter, so rounding up, it was like he earned it.
"How was it earned?" Mrs. Lin bit the silver to test its authenticity, and then asked with a smile.
Her face was full of smiles, along with two drops of tears still not wiped away under her eyes, making her look somewhat comical.
Erhu watched this scene from the bed, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh.
When his mother cried, he felt bad too, but seeing his mother forget about her son upon seeing silver, he suddenly thought, maybe he, like his sister, was also picked up!
In the yard, the siblings unloaded everything from the ox cart, and it was already near afternoon.
Entering the kitchen, they lifted the pot lid and inside was the lunch left for them.
After nibbling a little, Gu Nian wanted to sort the things she bought.
Unfortunately, she was small and not strong, couldn't lift the bucket or cut the meat.
Dahu saw this and smiled silently, walking over and said, "Niannian, how should we do it? You tell big brother, big brother will be your laborer today, you can order me around, okay?"
What Dahu thought was, he had been in the restaurant kitchen for more than a year, not enough to be a chef, but certainly able to make some simple home-cooked meals.
This kid spoke so eloquently, but after all, she was young, so he decided to keep an eye in case things were spoiled.
Having someone to boss around was the best, so Gu Nian nodded eagerly, "Okay, then let's first wash all these things clean!"
The water at home was all fetched from the village well, and pig offal is not easy to clean and also consumes water, so when there are many things to wash, it's usually done at the small river.
Luckily, it was picturesque with many rivers and streams in the fields, and several water ponds in the village.
The Lin Family lived at the front of the village, open the front door, there was a forest, and a hundred steps to the left was a water pond where they usually wash clothes and vegetables.
Dahu carried the pig offal, Gu Nian scooped a shovel of ash from under the stove, found a sack to gather it, and then followed.
It took half an afternoon to finally clean everything. Luckily Gu Nian only needed to talk, otherwise, if she had to do it herself, she might work herself to death without finishing it.
After returning home, the time was just about right.
Mrs. Jiang came over at this time, saying, "You two have been busy for half an afternoon, must be exhausted, go rest, leave the rest to me."
Normally, if they bought so much meat, Mrs. Jiang would have surely complained to Lin Sanshui.
But today was different, with money in hand, the heart is calm, with a huge sum of ten taels of silver, buying a few pounds of meat didn't seem extravagant anymore.
