In the book, she became the daughter of a vicious villain who died early

Isn’t it more fragrant to grow and pick them than to go out and look for them?

Mrs. Liu had no idea what her daughter was thinking, so when she heard her daughter say that, she believed it.

"Go home!"

He took one last look at the fields in the next village and went home with his two children.

"Mom, don't feel sorry. Look, there are herbs under your feet."

Lin Shiyu knew that her family's financial situation was not good, so recently when she had nothing to do, she observed the plants around her to see which ones were herbs that could be picked and sold for money.

Liu looked down at her feet. Apart from some recognizable wild vegetables, there were also what she thought were weeds. She really didn't know which ones were herbs.

“This is purslane.”

“This is three-pod grass.”

“This is cornflower.”

“This is Amaranth.”

......

Lin Shiyu simply squatted down and pointed them out to her one by one.

There are no herbicides here, so the weeds grow very pleasantly, and the herbs that are mistaken for weeds also grow well.

Liu and Lin Boyu squatted down and looked at the plants she was pointing at. They actually recognized most of them as they were the wild vegetables they often ate on their table.

As she listened, Liu suddenly felt relieved that she could not go to the ridges of the fields in the next village to pick Centella asiatica and coriander.

I didn't know whether these two wild vegetables were herbs or whether they could be sold for money, but I was certain that I could exchange them for money. I was so obsessed with it that I took my children out to pick them every day.

I really am obsessed with money.

"Okay, wait for your father to go to the county town to sell the herbs. We'll come back to pick them after the winnowing basket is empty." Liu said to her, touching her head.

"Yeah." Lin Shiyu nodded vigorously.

She didn't pick multiple herbs at once because she didn't have any extra tools at home, whether for drying or storing them.

There isn't even a place to store it.

The room they live in cannot hold so many things, so they will make plans after moving to the new house.

When the three of them returned to the house, Lin Anru was copying a book seriously in front of the window.

He plans to go to the county town in a couple of days and is catching up on the progress.

In order not to disturb him, the three of them did not rest, but took the herbs to the yard to sort, wash and dry them.

"Hey! Third sister-in-law, your family spent just a little money to buy the homestead. Did you spend all your wealth? Have you already started digging wild vegetables to store?"

When Liu heard the word "Ouch!", she knew who was coming without even looking up.

She felt a little speechless.

The two of them had fought and quarreled with each other, but why did this person always act as if these things had never happened and come up to say a few words whenever they met?

How can you be so thick-skinned?

Don’t you know deep down that you are unpopular?

Liu didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Ah~ How could I forget that!"

Liu ignored her, but Zhang got even more excited. She covered her mouth with her hands, opened her eyes wide and said innocently:

"I had forgotten that my third brother owed so much money that he couldn't pay it back in three to five years. He really needed to dig wild vegetables to fill his stomach!"

Liu raised her head and said to her in a calm tone, "Yes, so Second Sister-in-law wants to lend us some money for emergency?"

"We don't have any money. You know we have almost spent all the money on buying the land. We can't help even if we want to!" Zhang shook her head.

Liu rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "If you can't help, then don't make sarcastic remarks here."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by sarcastic remarks? Your kindness is really taken for granted." Zhang pretended to be angry at first, then changed the subject: "If I didn't pity your two children, I wouldn't want to say anything."

Liu was puzzled: "Poor?"

She was not sure whether her child was pitiful or not, but she was very sure that the child of the man in front of her was really pitiful.

Zhang did not respond directly to her question, but asked other questions: "I just passed by your window and saw my third brother reading. Do you want to continue to take the imperial examination?"

Liu lowered her head and continued to pick herbs without responding to her.

Zhang didn't care whether Liu replied or not, she just wanted to say what she wanted to say.

"He took the exam once and he already owed money to half the people in the village. If he takes it again, you won't be able to pay it back even if you work like slaves for the rest of your lives."

Having said this, she paused and observed Liu's expression, but Liu lowered her head and she could not see anything.

It doesn't matter if you can't see it. She continued without getting discouraged, "We adults are fine. We can just endure the hard times. But are you willing to let your son and daughter suffer with them? They are so small, and the back half of their bodies are spent on eating wild vegetables. Don't you think it's pitiful?"

"Poor, pitiful, very pitiful!" Liu said it three times in a row, then she grabbed Zhang's hands with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes: "So as their aunt, you will help them, right?"

"I can't help you, I can't help you. I just said that our family doesn't have any spare money." Zhang got goosebumps from being grabbed by her and tried desperately to pull her hand away.

"Hey! Talking about money hurts our feelings. We all lack money. You want to give it to us but we don't dare to ask for it. If I take it, your whole family will have to eat coarse food. I'm not that kind of person."

Liu concentrated all her strength on her hands, holding her hands tightly.

If this woman doesn't pay a price today, she will no longer be named Liu.

Zhang struggled and followed her words and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Liu: "Don't worry, it's not something valuable. You must have it."

"what?"

She continued to struggle, and Liu let go of her hand.

Liu struggled with too much force and let go too quickly. She staggered back a few steps before she could stand firm, and sprained her ankle.

The pain from her ankle twisted her facial expression.

Liu was secretly pleased to see her in pain, but she pretended not to notice. Not only that, she reached out and pulled her back to her original position and continued to speak:

"Second sister-in-law, you don't have to run so far. We don't want more, just one third will be enough."

"Well...well, let me go first."

Zhang was now only interested in looking at her own feet, and her mind was not on Liu at all. She didn't know what Liu said, so she could only nod randomly, asking Liu to let her go quickly.

"That's great. Thank you so much, second sister-in-law." Liu excitedly grabbed her hand and shook it, refusing to let go.

Zhang was dizzy from being shaken by Liu, so she didn't hear clearly what Liu said to the two children.

After Liu let go, she came back to her senses and found two little men standing in front of her.

The two little guys are not important. What is important is that they are dragging heavy baskets in their hands, with familiar ropes and familiar ways of tying them…

"Come here quickly to thank your second aunt. She generously gave these out for you to eat." Liu said to the two children with a smile.

Lin Shiyu: "Thank you, second aunt!"

Lin Boyu: "Thank you, second aunt!"
