C9 The System Is Here to Collect Money
In her heart, Deng Jinchai complained about her mother-in-law's bias. The four eggs didn't say that they would leave one for her son, Xiao Yu'er.
"Oh yeah, your big brother said it, he went to ask which family wants to beat up the old dog. He asked for a small piece, so he could trade it with fish. He heard from Dr. Guo that dog meat stewed eggs is very nutritious."
From Deng Jinchai's words, it wasn't hard to tell that Lin Qingshan felt sorry for the original owner.
It was probably because his personality was too dull and unexpressive that the original owner always thought his big brother was heartless and forgot his sister when he had a wife.
"Sister-in-law, how is I, Second Sister?" Lin Anxin remembered that Lin Erya had always been neither cold nor hot to the original owner.
Or perhaps it could be said that she was slightly disliked.
"Fortunately, she married into the neighboring village. Although she's a farmer, she can still earn a living, so she doesn't have to follow the wind and rain."
Don't underestimate the people who are trying to survive on the water. The wooden boat is only that big, if it were to encounter a strong wind or a strong wave, it would take one's life.
At that time, Tian Tian didn't respond. She cried out so loudly that she didn't even have a place to stand. She could only be a drowning man with a stomach full of unwillingness as she went to see Yama.
As a result, Lin Erya was married to Lin Shunhee to a small village, even if the family depended on the sharecroppers to support their family.
Deng Jinchai chatted with Lin Anxin for a while, seeing that there was a medicine bowl on the high chair, she said: "It's almost noon, I don't know where mom went. How about I boil the herbs for you first, then kill the Turtle."
Lin Anxin thought for a moment, then said: "Eldest sister-in-law, remember to use the Turtle's bile on the turtle meat."
"Hmm?" Deng Jinchai looked at her doubtfully.
"Bile? Wouldn't that be painful death?" As she said this, she frowned so deeply that she could pinch a fly to death.
"That won't happen, the Turtle that will be produced this way will be even fresher." Although Lin Anxin didn't know how to cook, her father was still a doting female maniac. In her previous life, her favorite dish was her father's Red Braised Pork and Water Fish.
"If there is a bit of sugar, it would taste even better."
Deng Jinchai looked her up and down suspiciously.
"Siya, did you burn your brain? Why do you have to touch bile and put sugar on it? I can't listen to you. Don't waste such a good Turtle. "
"Sister-in-law, how could I play with you? I've seen Third Brother burn Turtle to eat before, that's what I've done." Lin Anxin had to bring up Lin Qingsoong, who was nowhere to be found.
Lin Qingsoong was not only quick-witted, but he was also a foodie. In the absence of oil and salt, he was able to cook most of the ordinary dishes.
If this was in the modern era, he might even become a grandmaster of culinary arts.
Deng Jinchai should have a certain understanding of Lin Qingsoong. After hearing what she said, she jokingly scolded him, "I'll believe you once. At worst, I'll just wash up and burn again. I don't have to listen to my mother's angry shouts again."
Lin Anxin's worry was finally lifted.
Deng Jinchai's hands and feet were nimble. Not long after Lin Anxin laid down, she smelled the herbal medicine wafting into the room.
Mr. Deng Jinchai must have heated up the medicine for her.
Once again, Lin Anxin was glad that her luck was good. Otherwise, if she was allowed to start a fire, it would be hard to tell when she would be able to eat again.
No matter what, she had to try to make herself better.
Lin Anxin fell asleep again, accompanied by the sound of splitting firewood. Before she fell asleep, she was thinking that her body was as weak as a dog's.
When she woke again, she was awakened by a fresh smell.
"Zi …" Ye … Can... Quantity, pfft! "
The sudden voice scared Lin Anxin to the point that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who?"
The room was quiet, and no one appeared.
"Come out. If you don't, I'm going to call for help."
"Zi …" This... Department … "..." "Yes …" A certain system forced out a few words. Without energy, was there any difference between it and trash?
No, waste can be recycled a second time, but what about it?
Only standby, permanently in standby.
The only solution was for the host to replenish it's energy.
System?
Lin Anxin was stunned!
She stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before she regained her senses.
He remembered hearing the voice when he passed through.
What had happened that she didn't know about?
When Lin Anxin was nearing the edge of berserk mode, she remembered the System saying that it lacked energy. But who was so lacking in energy? The Rules stated that one must replenish energy in order to "recharge" the System and allow it to operate better.
Furthermore, this darn system is still an internal test version. What does internal test mean? It represents all kinds of imperfections, all kinds of insanity, all kinds of difficulties in leveling up …
"System, hurry up and get out of here. I promise I won't beat you to death."
She thought she had been thrown away by a God from another world!
"Zi …" Can... "Quantity!"
System, you must be here to collect a debt! Shouldn't you introduce yourself first? What are their functions and what can they be used for?
"Zi …" "Amount …"
Lin Anxin couldn't help but roll her eyes.
There was still energy left. She was starving to death.
Just look at this body, it's so skinny, you can tell it's malnourished with one look.
"Zi …" Hurry... Nourish … Otherwise, kill! "
System, are you really lacking in energy?
Why were the last four words so full of energy!
The System was stuck in a standby. No matter how much Lin Anxin threatened to throw a tantrum, it still kept me standing!
Lin Anxin really wanted to scratch the wall. What could the system do?
Could it help her get rich and get rich?
She lay in bed and thought for a while before she understood that if the System wanted to 'speak', it had to eat, eat, and eat.
Lin Anxin planned to go out and walk around after she took care of her body a bit. She would first understand the surroundings of this Upper Pool Village, and find out if there was anything she could get to exchange for silver.
For example, picking mushrooms, picking wooden ears, or even finding wild fruits.
After staring blankly for who knows how long, a burst of fresh fragrance finally drifted out of the kitchen. The smell caused the gluttony in her stomach to roll around uncontrollably, causing Lin Anxin to swallow her saliva.
Yesterday, other than being able to eat as much as she wanted to, the rest of her meals were all plain soup with only occasional fresh food. If he made her act like this every day, he might as well take her life.
Deng Jinchai busied herself in the kitchen for a while before she raised her head to look at the sky. It was almost noon, so she didn't know why her mother and Jinsuo hadn't returned yet.
She found a mortar bowl in the cupboard and scooped up some fish soup first, then she picked out the newest and beautiful skirt around the fish. The meat there was the most tender, and the taste was the best.
She scooped another bowl of pumpkin congee, and since Ji Chunhua wasn't at home, she intentionally put another handful of rice on the table.
It looked more appetizing.
He then went to a corner of his own kitchen and opened a jar. He picked out two or three steamed cucumbers and a pepper stew and placed them on top of the pot.
Only then did he send it over to the East Wing.
As soon as she entered, she saw Lin Anxin sitting on the bed, gasping for breath.
"Siya, how did you get up?"
As Deng Jinchai spoke, she swiftly placed the dishes on top of the chest of drawers before hurrying to the bedside to support Lin Anxin.
"Eldest Sis, sorry to trouble you. I wanted to go to the kitchen and eat by myself."
Aiyo, don't be so polite. No matter what, you're my sister-in-law, and also my sister-in-law. You're very sick right now, and taking care of you is only right.
Everyone was laughing bitterly, if Lin Family was brought over by Lin Anxin, then they couldn't just give her a small amount to eat, so Lin Family couldn't be brought out either. But if that were to happen, Lin Family would probably have to drink the wind of the west wind everyday.
That was why Deng Jinchai had said what she had just said.
"Nothing, I just need to rest for a few days."
Lin Anxin found it difficult to raise her eyelids.
"Don't worry, after a few days, I'll have your brother take a look at the riverbank. It might be possible for him to step on the Turtle again."
"Sister-in-law, please don't send it back." Lin Anxin had accepted the original owner's memory. She knew that Lin Family were all dependent on trading fish for silver to support a family. If she was to eat all of them, wouldn't Lin Family users be able to live?
Deng Jinchai smiled and said, "It might not be possible. Who knows? We'll talk about it when the time comes."
Lin Anxin nodded. Deng Jinchai helped her sit on the bed, then placed a pillow behind her to make her feel more comfortable.
"Mom heard yesterday that you were very sick and was very anxious. She urged me to come here early in the morning. Luckily, you recovered quite a bit after taking a dose of medicine."
Lin Anxin took a sip of the porridge that Deng Jinchai passed to her and frowned slightly. She really had no love for porridge.
"Let's eat then. Your age is not good this year. Second Sister even said that her wife Jiamingnian wanted to rent more land. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to support her family."
Lin Anxin picked up a piece of pickled cucumber with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. A spicy and sour taste blossomed on her tongue, stimulating her taste buds and quickly aroused her good appetite.
"Yesterday, Big Sister Jinling returned. I vaguely heard her mention it in the house that the taxes will be increased again next year."
"Of course. This morning, I also heard from my neighbor that she was going out to catch fish. This kind of life is never going to end!"
Deng Jinchai's voice sounded dull and depressed.
Perhaps it was due to the cucumber steeping, or perhaps Deng Jinchai's culinary skills were indeed not bad. Lin Anxin actually finished that big bowl of pumpkin porridge with just the delicious fish and water.
"But more? Is there more in the pot?"
"No, I'm full."
After Lin Anxin ate, she urged her to go have some.
"Where did mom go? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Deng Jinchai looked at the sun, put away the bowl and chopsticks, and then said, "I'll be going back after eating dinner. Deng Jinchai looked at the sun, put away the bowl and chopsticks, and then said," I'll be going back after eating dinner.
"Yes, yes!" Lin Anxin nodded repeatedly.
After Deng Jinchai gave her orders, she took the bowl and left. Lin Anxin thought she had just finished her meal and couldn't lie down immediately to sleep, so she tried to get off the bed again and slowly put on her shoes. However, this slight movement made her unable to breathe.
It seemed that his body was quite weak.
Lin Anxin stood up and put her hand on the chest of drawers, slowly moving her feet.
After two days of lying in bed, she felt her bones swell and hurt.
