Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, at Fourth Uncle Lins house.

Fourth Uncle Lin and his wife brought the two children back with them. They collected two big baskets and two small baskets of cabbage. They were resting under the eaves.

Fourth Uncle Lins wife went in and scooped a ladle of water from the water tank. She drank a big mouthful first.

Then, he went out and handed the water ladle to Fourth Uncle Lin.

Fourth Uncle Lin wiped his sweat and gulped down more than half of the water.

Then, he gave the water ladle to the older child.

The child took the water ladle and drank it in big mouthfuls.

Fourth Uncle Lins face, which was slightly red from the sun, smiled.

Then, he looked at his wife.

You dont have to go out later. Ill take the basket and take back the remaining cabbage. He said.

Ever since the Liu familys workshop began to harvest cabbages, the lives of every family in the village had become better.

This year, the cabbages were growing well. Most of the cabbages weighed two to three catties, and some were even more than four catties.

1 wen per 500 grams, so one cabbage could cost up to 2-3 wen.

If this was in the past, he would not even dare to think about it.

Fourth Uncle Lin thought that after he harvested all the things in the field this year, he would have to turn all the land into cabbages.

According to this years harvest, growing cabbage was actually more cost-effective than growing grains.

If he sold the cabbage, he could exchange it for money. With money, he could go to the town to buy food. With more money, he would have more money left in his hands.

Mmm. Fourth Uncle Lins wife smiled and replied.

Then, a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.

Seeing this, Fourth Uncle Lin looked at his wife in confusion.

Whats wrong? He asked.

Fourth Uncle Lins wife hesitated.

Theres something we need to discuss. As if she had made up her mind,

Fourth Uncle Lins wife suddenly stepped forward and sat down next to Fourth Uncle Lin.

Seeing this, Fourth Uncle Lins expression turned grave.

Tell me. He said.

I thought that there was not much cabbage left in our field Also, our family doesnt have much land. You and the two children can take care of it.

Fourth Uncle Lins expression changed, and he suddenly felt a little fl.u.s.tered.

What do you mean?

Fourth Uncle Lin paused. Then, she thought of something and laughed.

Aiya, what are you thinking? I want to discuss with you about letting me work in Ms. Lins workshop.

As she spoke, she pushed Fourth Uncle Lins shoulder like a spoiled child.

Seeing Fourth Uncle Lins relieved expression, she frowned again.

Before her husband could speak, Fourth Uncle Lins wife said, its not a problem for you to take care of the two children.

If I work in the Liu familys workshop, I can earn at least 50 wen a day.

Moreover, the workshop is busy now and needs to be processed frequently. The pay is considered high, at least 20 wen per hour. At this point, Fourth Uncle Lins wifes eyes lit up.

Tell me, where can a country b.u.mpkin like us find such a good job? The pay is high and its close to home.

Seeing that Fourth Uncle Lin was about to speak, his wife said, we cant continue on like this with our familys situation.

Previously, when you brought back 50 taels of silver, we still had some money. But now, ithas been returned.

Fourth Uncle Lins expression turned anxious.

Fourth Uncle Lins wife patted his shoulder comfortingly. Im not blaming you for this.

On the contrary, I feel more at ease.

Although you didnt partic.i.p.ate much in the matter of the jade pendant, strictly speaking, you can be considered as mothers accomplice. Although I was happy that you got the money previously, I was worried.

Youre the head of the family. If something happens to you, how are we going to live? As she said that, Fourth Uncle Lins wife actually teared up.

Fourth Uncle Lins heart trembled and he quickly hugged his wife.

At this moment, his heart was filled with grat.i.tude.

His wife really cared about him.

Fourth Uncle Lins wife wiped her eyes and pushed Fourth Uncle Lin away.

Im not counting on you to make a lot of money. Lets just live our lives in a down-to-earth manner.

Ive been married to you for so long, so Ive finally seen it clearly. Father and mother are too biased and dont care about us at all.

Its right for us to ignore them now. Otherwise, there would be no end to it and our life would not be peaceful..
