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

It's a rare occasion that there's light at night, so of course I have to take out the accumulated clothes and mend them.

The room was completely silent except for the sounds of two children counting and the occasional clatter of coins.

"Want to string these remaining together?"

The two men finally counted the copper coins and strung them together. There were ten strings in total, which was ten taels of silver. In addition to the ten strings of copper coins, there were still about two hundred copper coins left.

"No more stringing. Put it in the basket and wait for parents to make a decision. Let's take a shower and go to bed!"

Lin Shiyu made the decision without asking, and then pulled Lin Boyu out of the room quietly.

In the master bedroom, Lin Anru and his wife were still doing their own things and did not notice that the two children had gone to their rooms to rest.

When Liu looked up, she did not see the two children, which scared her. She went to their room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the children sleeping.

"Where did you go?"

Lin Anru finished copying the book and saw his wife coming in from outside and asked.

"Go find the kids. These two little guys went back to sleep without telling me. They scared me."

"You don't have to worry so much at home. It's tiring to be tense all the time. Relax a little and don't exhaust yourself, otherwise it won't be worth it."

This was not the first time that Lin Anru felt that Liu was too concerned about her children. Ever since her daughter drowned, Liu always felt like she wanted to tie her children to her belt.

Liu rubbed her eyebrows. Sometimes she felt that she had gone too far, but being a mother is always like this. Worrying is inevitable.

"I try my best."

"Don't think too much, come and see what the children have accomplished."

The two walked to the bed, where a string of copper coins and a small basket were neatly arranged.

"...Eight, nine, ten."

"There are actually ten taels of silver!"

This surprised Lin Anru. In addition to the five taels of silver from Uncle Lin, he actually collected another five taels of silver as a share of the money.

He quickly found the record book. The largest amount on it was two hundred coins, which belonged to Uncle Lin, the village chief and Old Man Lin. There were also several who owed one hundred coins, including Master Li, Lin Ping'an and Li Aniu.

Li Aniu?

"Why did he give a share of money?"

Liu was puzzled. They did not invite Li Aniu. Besides, he had just come to the old house the day before yesterday, shouting and calling for war.

"Maybe just want to apologize?!"

Lin Anru guessed, and it must be said that he guessed correctly. This money was given as an apology in the form of membership fees.

He made rude remarks more than ten years ago and caused trouble a few days ago, so he owed Lin Anru an apology.

"What happened to his wife afterwards?" Liu suddenly remembered this incident and wanted to gossip about it.

"What else can I do? Of course I'll just divorce him and go home."

After the truth was exposed, Wang had been trying to find ways to avoid being despised by Li Aniu's family, or at least to prevent them from divorcing her. To this end, she humbled herself and tried to please them, swallowing her anger.

But in the end, for the sake of her children, she took the initiative to divorce.

"That's the village rule. This choice is good for everyone."

If Wang does not leave Yamada Village, the entire family may be the last to leave. After all, the murder of her stepson is a fact, and there must be punishment.

Murder is a more serious matter than fighting, and the punishment will not be light.

"She deserves it."

Not wanting to waste any more extra emotions on strangers, Liu sighed and began to change the subject:

"How should we distribute this money? Should we pay off all the foreign debts first as my uncle said?"

With ten taels of silver plus the money from the recent sale of medicinal herbs, the foreign debt can be paid off, but there will be no money left after paying it off.

"Of course not." Lin Anru didn't want to talk about Li Aniu's family anymore, so she immediately took up the topic of her wife and told her about her own arrangements:

"Foreign debts must be repaid, but they cannot be repaid all at once..."

If you pay off the debt in one lump sum, outsiders will know that you have money, and they will be more suspicious, which will cause a lot of trouble.

"…Repay it as planned, just speed up the repayment. Keep two taels of the remaining silver for future use, and I will use the rest to buy things like pens and ink."

Anyway, when the family property was divided, the villagers all knew that he would copy books to earn money, and now that he didn't need to hand over the household expenses, no one would doubt him if he paid back the money faster.

Liu had no objection to her husband's decision, and she fully supported his use of the money to buy pens and ink, so the money was distributed in this way.

"Starting tomorrow, the money we earn will belong to us."

Free from debt, Liu felt as if the invisible shackles in her heart had suddenly disappeared.

Lin Anru touched his wife's shoulder. It was all because of his incompetence that he owed foreign debts for more than ten years, causing his wife to suffer for more than ten years.

At dawn the next day, before everyone in Room 3 woke up, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Anru yawned as she opened the door: "Mom, what's the matter with you coming here so early?"

"It's already three o'clock in the morning, is it still early?" Old Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes. Don't let everyone become lazy as soon as you move out. This will make mothers think that their children will starve to death because of this.

"I'm here to tell you that it's the third day of the lunar year, and you can put out the oil lamps and put them away."

The oil is so precious that she would feel bad if it took even a quarter of an hour longer.

"Got it, mother. I'll go kill them now."

The response came from the quick-walking figure of Old Lady Lin.

"Mom, don't you want to have a meal before going back?"

Old Mrs. Lin pretended not to hear her son's call, and the whole family didn't get up, but his family still had food to eat.

"Is it mother who is here? Has something happened?" Liu heard the voice vaguely, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

But she is a daughter-in-law after all. Even if the family is divided, when the mother-in-law comes to the new house, as a daughter-in-law, she cannot lie in bed and not get up to see her.

"It's okay, it just tells us that we can blow out the oil lamp."

"Now that you can blow it, why not blow it faster?"

That was all money. Liu was even more active than Old Mrs. Lin. She hurried to each room to blow out the oil lamps and put them away.

"Pour the remaining oil together. You can use it to read at night. It can be used for several nights."

"Okay, please ask the child's mother to keep it for me. I will be very grateful."

"Tsk, you are so dishonest."

When Liu heard what her husband said, her face immediately turned red. She rolled her eyes and left with the lamp.

But the speed at which she walked betrayed her panic.

"Sister, what are you doing so early in the morning? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?"

"I just ate too much, so I need to massage it to help digestion."

Lin Boyu was confused by her words. Didn't they just wake up? When did his sister eat?

Is there anything edible at home? He couldn't even smell any food.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Lin Boyu, who hadn't figured it out yet, was brought back to his senses by the sound of the door opening.
