Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

If we were to say who Li Yu looked down upon the most since traveling through time, it would be Han Xiuwu and Yang Qiuyue.

These two people are worthless. One is a coward who, because of fear of his wife, even abandoned his brothers and sisters who had suffered together. The other one is ungrateful. Obviously, the Han brothers and sisters helped her and her family a lot in the past few years, but as soon as Han Xiuwen died, she immediately changed her face and tried to monopolize the Han family's property.

Anyway, they have already separated and will have nothing to do with each other in the future. Li Yu did not give these two people any good face. He just pretended not to see them and walked past them without looking at them.

Compared to Li Yu's calmness, Han Xiaomei felt quite upset. She still couldn't understand why her eldest brother became like this, as he used to love his younger siblings very much.

The little girl looked at the two of them and opened her mouth, but in the end no sound came out.

The two pushed the car over, but Yang Qiuyue was dissatisfied.

When the two were about to walk away, she suddenly quickened her pace, walked behind Han Xiaomei and grabbed her.

"Who taught you not to say hello to your elder brother and his wife when you see them?"

It was the first time that Han Xiaomei was asked this question. She was at a loss as to how to answer it.

Li Yu turned around, gave her a calming look, and said to Yang Qiuyue, "When the family was divided, I remember there was a sentence in the document: 'After the division, Han Zheng, Han Xiaomei, and Li Yu will no longer have any relationship with Han Xiuwu and Yang Qiuyue. From now on, they will live their own lives and not interfere with each other.' It hasn't been long since the division, how could you have forgotten it? Your memory is so bad, why don't you go see a doctor? Otherwise, what will happen in the future? There are still many decades to go!"

Yang Qiuyue's face instantly turned red with anger: "You...you shrew!"

"No match for you." Li Yu crossed his arms and said, "You're asking for a split right after your brother-in-law died. This is rare in the entire Dayu Dynasty."

"Sister-in-law, stop... stop talking!" Han Xiuwu finally stopped pretending to be dead and stood up and said, "Qiuyue is your sister-in-law no matter what she says."

"I don't recognize you." Li Yu said calmly, "Don't try to make connections."

Han Xiuwu: “…”

"Beat her!" Yang Qiuyue was furious and screamed, "You are the eldest brother, it is only natural for you to beat the younger one."

Li Yu took a step forward, smiling, "You can try as much as you want. If you hit me, I will report it to the county magistrate."

"Oh, we can't go to the county magistrate." Several villagers came over at some point and stood by, pointing and talking.

"My family, my brother, Danniu, has seen the county magistrate try a case. It's terrifying. He hits people with a thick board and their skin and flesh are torn apart in no time."

"You're still pregnant, what if you lose the baby?"

"Xiuwu, please try to persuade Qiuyue."

Yang Qiuyue was unwilling to be embarrassed in front of so many people, and said stubbornly: "She is a younger sister-in-law who sued my elder sister-in-law for being unfilial. The county magistrate will not just listen to her."

Li Yu sneered, "What kind of sister-in-law are you? With what you have done, the county magistrate will probably be even angrier after hearing it. He is not a stupid and incompetent person."

Yang Qiuyue: “…”

"Let's go home." Han Xiuwu was afraid that Li Yu would really go and complain. He couldn't understand why Li Yu had become so sharp-tongued in just a few days, so he had to pull Yang Qiuyue, "You've been out for too long, let's go back and rest first."

Yang Qiuyue was afraid of Li Yu, so she left reluctantly.

Li Yu saw them walking away and started talking to the villagers.

A villager pointed at the cart and asked, "Is this new?"

Li Yu said: "Yes, I plan to start a snack business, and it would be convenient to have a car."

The villagers were shocked because they had never heard that Li Yu could do business before.

The village chief's wife was afraid that she would lose all her money, so she said, "Xiu Wen's wife, business is not that easy to do, you have to be careful."

"Let's try first." Li Yu said, "Han Zheng often takes medicine, and Xiaomei and I also have to make a living. We can't just rely on those few acres of land. If the year is bad and the harvest is less, we will have to beg for food. I thought about earning some money slowly, which will be an income, better than living off the land."

Mrs. Zhang, the oldest woman in the village, originally disliked Li Yu because of the family division, but after hearing what she said, she suddenly changed her opinion of Li Yu.

Before, she just thought she was too aggressive, but now she thinks there is nothing she can do. She is barely fifteen years old, and if she doesn't act tough, she will probably be eaten by Yang Qiuyue and his wife.

Right now, she is thinking about doing business and making money, and is wholeheartedly thinking about Xiaomei and Brother Zheng. It can be seen that she is a good person, at least much better than that Yang Qiuyue.

Li Yu didn't know that his image in the hearts of some people in the village had changed. After greeting everyone, he took Han Xiaomei home.

It was getting late, so after a short rest, Li Yu called Han Xiaomei to fetch water so that they could quickly wash the pig offal.

Li Yu went to get the bucket, but when he walked to the water tank, he found that there was another tank in the house, and it was full of water.

"Han Zheng, did you do this?"

Han Zheng was sitting there washing eggs. He knew his family needed eggs, so he took some money and went to the village to buy some. The villagers were reluctant to eat eggs, so they saved a lot. He bought a lot, so it was cheaper than outside.

Hearing the question, he looked up and replied, "Washing pigs takes a lot of water. I was afraid that the water in the vat was not enough, so I went to Uncle Wu to buy a new one."

"The water in the jar was also picked by Uncle Wu."

"Yes, Uncle Wu said that we gave him some meat yesterday. It was a big gift, and he would feel bad if he didn't help."

Li Yu: "..." All right. Fortunately, she was planning to buy another jar anyway, so Han Zheng's move saved her the trouble.

After taking the pig's offal out of the water and putting it in a basin, Li Yu began to clean up. Han Xiaomei wanted to help, but Li Yu directed her to go out and find firewood.

Pig offal was dirty and had to be washed carefully. Li Yu washed it over and over again. When he was washing it for the third time, he heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground next to him.

Li Yu turned her head and saw Han Zheng moving a chair and sitting next to her, "Second sister-in-law, let me help you."

Han Zheng's illness had not yet healed, his lips were pale, and he was thin, looking listless. Li Yu was afraid that his illness would get worse, so she said, "Take a rest first, and come back to help when you're better."

Han Zheng said: "I used to work when I was sick before, it's okay, second sister-in-law, you believe me."

Seeing that he was not going to leave without help, Li Yu had to compromise, "Okay, go to the kitchen and get that small vegetable washing basin, and clean the pig lungs. Remember, the lungs must turn white to be qualified."

Han Zheng agreed and took out the basin.

The two of them were doing their own things. Li Yu felt a little quiet, so she talked to Han Zheng.

"Your second brother told me that you can read."

"I studied with Mr. Wang from the next village for two years." Han Zheng replied. At that time, his parents were still alive and the family was doing well thanks to his father's hunting. His mother saw that he had a talent for learning and wanted to cultivate a scholar, so she sent him to Mr. Wang to study. Unfortunately, his parents passed away early, and after they left, the family had no money for him to continue studying. Later, although he saved Mr. Zhao's son and received a thank-you gift, his family's financial situation improved, but he was often sick, and the money was used for medical treatment, so he didn't mention continuing his studies.

"Do you know Three Character Classic and Thousand Character Classic?" Through what his original body saw and heard, Li Yu knew that except for the different dynasties, many things in this era, such as literary works, were the same as those in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Yes, I have almost finished learning the Four Books."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows. He almost finished learning the Four Books in two years. He was a born scholar!
