Liu was used to living in seclusion, and even though she and Sun were sisters-in-law, she was not familiar with them.

So when he saw that Sun, who usually woke up early, had just woken up, he was a little surprised, but had no intention of getting to know her better.

She nodded as a greeting and walked towards the lobby.

Sun was so flustered that she didn't even notice Liu's existence.

She had one nightmare after another last night, and when she woke up, she felt aches all over her bones.

The level of fatigue is even greater than when the guns were put away.

When she woke up, it was already daybreak and her husband was still sleeping beside her.

She quickly woke her husband up, packed up her things and left the room.

Today is the big day for the division of the family property. Her mother-in-law had told her to get up early and help, but she slept until noon.

Thinking of her mother-in-law's intimidating face, Sun was afraid. She wished time could go back. She would rather not sleep than be late.

Some witnesses, as well as Sun and Zhang's brothers from their mother's families, have arrived in the Lin family's lobby one after another.

Originally, they or their husbands should have been responsible for entertaining their brothers from their natal family, but the eldest and second oldest brothers and their spouses never showed up.

As an elder, Mr. Lin could not always talk to the younger generations on an equal footing, so Lin Anru, who had no relatives from his mother's family, was captured and brought in to serve as a soldier.

Apart from exchanging a few pleasantries at the beginning, Lin Anru just sat there staring at them.

These people in front of him are not his real relatives, and they are here to fight for the family property for their sister/sister. They are all competitors, so don't expect him to treat them with enthusiasm.

Sun went to the kitchen first, and when she saw that the work there had been completed and that Old Mrs. Lin was not there, she returned to the lobby.

Her two brothers just saw her and thought she was coming to "rescue" them, but they ended up watching her pass by them.

They had no choice but to continue facing this awkward atmosphere. The two of them were as courageous as Sun, and they felt uncomfortable staying in the lobby.

Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere soon ended, and Sun came in and took them both away from the place.

Lin Anru, who was in the lobby, was also taken away by Liu, who found an excuse to vent her anger, leaving Zhang's seven brothers sitting in the lobby.

Lin Anru felt that it was a bit impolite to keep the guest there by herself, but he would feel uncomfortable if he allowed him to accompany her, so what if it was impolite?

Zhang's seven brothers were not cowards like Sun's two brothers. When they saw that there was no one else in the hall, they looked around the hall inside and out, as if this place was their own home.

"Why haven't my little sister and brother-in-law come yet?"

The Lin family lobby was so small that even if they looked carefully, they would have finished looking everywhere. Bored, Zhang Laosan couldn't help but ask the other brothers.

The others have been with him all the time, so how could they know why their sister hasn't shown up?

However, they all doted on their only sister, and as the eldest brother, Zhang Lao Da found a suitable reason for her absence:

"Maybe he's not feeling well and hasn't gotten up yet."

The other brothers thought that this might really be the case, so they had to wait patiently.

Before Zhang got married, she always said she was not feeling well in order to avoid working. As time went by, everyone in the Zhang family thought she was weak and basically didn't let her do any work.

Anyway, the Zhang family didn't have much, just plenty of labor, so the absence of a weak woman like Zhang wouldn't make much of a difference to their family.

They didn't have to wait long before Zhang came out.

She had originally calculated the time and showed up only after making sure that Old Mrs. Lin could finish all the kitchen work in that short period of time.

A few people went back to their rooms to chat in private, and then came out to the lobby to eat.

Because there were so many people coming and there were not enough seats, the grandchildren of the old Lin family asked their mother to prepare porridge and bring it into the room to eat.

When Liu came in with the dishes, Lin Shiyu had already woken up.

Lin Boyu had been guarding her in the house, and as soon as she woke up, he gave her some warm water to drink.

After a good sleep, Lin Shiyu felt much better, but the foreign body sensation in her throat was still very obvious. Drinking water made her feel better, but it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

She wanted to go out to find some herbs, but Lin Boyu refused to let her go without her mother's consent.

Lin Shiyu didn't want to make things difficult for him, so she frantically recalled where she could find suitable herbs around the Lin family's area.

But the weeds around the Lin family's house were basically cleared by Old Lady Lin, and not many survived.

After she tried hard to recall, she actually figured it out.

Not far from the gate of the Lin family's yard, there was a dilapidated, uninhabited house, and behind its wall there was plantain.

If she hadn't sat at the door every day, she really wouldn't have noticed that spot.

She described the plantain to Lin Boyu and asked him to go out and help pick it.

Lin Boyu only agreed to help after she repeatedly assured him that she would not go out alone.

Finally he went out and brought back several of the wild grasses his sister had described, including plantain.

Lin Shiyu picked out the plantain and asked him to help pick a few more. Lin Boyu certainly would not delay such a small matter.

The main effects of plantain are clearing heat, diuresis, expectorant, cooling blood and detoxification. It is mainly used to treat phlegm heat, cough, abscess, edema, oliguria, etc. It is not particularly suitable for treating laryngitis.

Tonsillitis is mainly an upper respiratory tract infection caused by decreased resistance. The tonsils have pus, edema, and congestion. Taking plantain can cool the blood and detoxify.

It’s just that its effect is not as great as the herbs that treat the disease, but when there are no other herbs, plantain is still a good choice.

So when Liu came in, she saw the brother and sister playing house using the stove she usually used to cook medicine. She thought the plantain in the pot was just a vegetable that the children had picked casually to use when playing house.

These are the games played by the children in the village. They use wild grass as vegetables and sand as rice. They can pick one or two curved pieces from the broken jars and turn them into a pot.

"Eat first and play later." Liu shouted to the two children.

She did not stop the two children from playing. Usually, the medicine she took was made by her son, so she had nothing to worry about.

"Mom, we are not playing, we are making medicine." Lin Boyu raised his head and corrected seriously.

"Cooking medicine? What medicine?" Liu put down the bowl and walked to the stove.

Aren’t the green leaves floating in the pot just common weeds?

"My sister said it was for her throat."

Lin Boyu replied that he didn't feel like he was betraying his sister at all.

"Yu'er is not feeling well?" This was Liu's first reaction.
