The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"What happened? Are you being chased by a ghost?!"

When passing by Aunt Zhang's house, she happened to meet Aunt Zhang going out. When she saw Lin Zhi running, she couldn't help but ask.

"What the hell are you talking about in broad daylight?" Lin Zhi saw that it was Aunt Zhang and stopped walking: "Where are you going, Aunt?"

"Where else can I go? The grass in this field is taller than the crops. It's useless to go anywhere I want."

Aunt Zhang felt resentful.

In the whole family, the old lady liked to ask her to work. She was a woman who ate the least but did the most work.

When she first got married, she was a silly girl, hardworking and never complaining. She would do whatever she was asked to do, but would not eat if she was not given food.

She thought that if she worked harder and ate less, the family would treat her differently and she would live a more comfortable life in this home.

who knows……

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang felt that she was really stupid before, but fortunately she is not stupid now.

She knows how to take her time at work. She appears to be working very hard, but secretly she takes as much rest as possible.

If you don't give her food, she will eat it secretly.

On the surface, there was no difference from when she first arrived at the Zhao family, but in fact, she had been living a very comfortable life these days.

These were also the words she said when she and Lin Zhi met for the first time, asking Lin Zhi to focus on herself first and then the child.

She finally understood that the child was hers, but was not on the same page with her. It would be better for her to take better care of herself than to wait for others to take care of her.

"My aunt's family is the best. We have fields and land, and we don't have to worry about food or clothing."

There has been enough time for chatting today, so Lin Zhi doesn't want to follow what Aunt Zhang says, otherwise Aunt Zhang will definitely complain to her and it will go on and on.

Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Zhi, then thought about her own family's situation. After this comparison, she felt that her family was indeed good, and her mood suddenly became much better.

"Haven't you sold all the tofu today?" When she looked at Lin Zhi, Aunt Zhang saw the tofu in Lin Zhi's hand and her eyes turned around. "Since you can't sell it, can you sell it to me at a lower price? How about it?"

Asking Lin Zhi to give it away for free, Aunt Zhang thought she didn't have the nerve to be so thick-skinned. Asking her to pay for it, Aunt Zhang couldn't bear to part with her own money.

Everyone in the mountain villages knows the benefits of tofu, but few are willing to eat it.

Anyway, except for the first time her mother-in-law bought it, she never mentioned it again. Aunt Zhang wanted to eat it, but she didn't dare to mention it.

Fortunately, she had the habit of secretly saving some money, so now the opportunity came.

Lin Zhi generously handed her a piece of firewood and said, "I haven't thanked you for lending us firewood before. This piece is a thank you gift."

Aunt Zhang happily took it, thought about it, dug around in her body, and found three copper coins to give to Lin Zhi:

"It's just a favor between neighbors, how can I accept any thanks? Take this money and sell it to me at half price."

Afraid that Lin Zhi would not accept it, she threw the money directly into the basket.

"Don't tell my family that I bought tofu. I was going to eat it secretly."

Halfway through the journey, Aunt Zhang turned back and whispered something in Lin Zhi's ear.

How could Lin Zhi not agree to such a small request?

There were still three pieces of tofu left in the basket. Lin Zhi decided to keep them for himself and not go to the next village.

After returning home, the idle Lin Zhi began to rummage through the drawers at home to see if there was anything missing so that she could have an idea and set a goal to make money.

After all the operations, Lin Zhi lay on the bed in silence.

You won’t know if you don’t read it, but you will be shocked if you read it.

Her house is really empty.

At the current rate of earning money, it is questionable whether their family can have enough food to eat by the end of the year.

"Let's just give up! Let's just give up! What's the point of looking forward to a life when you work yourself to death but still can't get enough to eat..."

His eyes were empty.

Glazed eyes.

Lin Zhi, who had been lying dead for less than three seconds, suddenly jumped up and came back to life in an instant.

She straightened her clothes, touched her hair, and adjusted the hairpin in her hair.

Everything was ready, and the three little ones pushed the door open.

"Now that you're back, let's cook and eat."

Not hungry, but not in a good mood.

Want to eat...

The three little ones hurried over to cook.

These are the only foods we can eat at home, without even any seasoning. Every day, the meals are almost made from the same mold and are prepared in a short time.

After eating and drinking enough, my depressed mood was much reduced.

Lin Zhi, who had regained his energy, followed the three little ones to collect firewood.

Before it got dark, they had collected enough firewood to return to Aunt Zhang's house.

Tofu is not selling well today, and the family earns a lot of beans from selling tofu, so Lin Zhi thought about taking a day off tomorrow and making tofu to sell at the market the day after tomorrow.

The products in the village are not selling well, and Lin Zhi doesn’t want to go to other villages.

Since all the villages are in similar situations, the final settlement method is probably still barter.

They already have enough beans at home, and Lin Zhi doesn't want to continue exchanging beans. She only wants copper coins now.

After telling the three little ones that they didn't need to soak the beans in advance tonight, she washed up and lay down.

Before lying down, Lin Zhi thought to herself that when she had enough money, she would definitely buy a bathtub and build a bathroom.

She was really fed up with not taking a shower and just wiping her face and washing her feet every day.

In the middle of the night, Lin Zhi woke up because he had to urinate.

Lin Zhi, who was lying on the bed, was now worrying about whether he should get up and go to the toilet.

It's so dark outside,

The toilet stinks.

It was still open air, and there were maggots crawling inside.

What should I do if I accidentally step on empty space?

She didn't dare to be distracted at all when she went there during the day. There was no light at night, so no matter how good her eyesight was or how focused she was, she didn't dare to gamble. If she fell, she would die on the spot!

People have three urgent needs, and they can hold it in for a while but not for too long. She had no choice but to get out of bed.

According to her memory, she touched a long stick and planned to use it to explore the way, so that at least she would not step on empty air when walking.

Click!

The door that could only be used as a decoration was opened from the outside.

Lin Zhi's hand holding the stick clenched instantly.

someone!

In the silent night, the light footsteps are infinitely amplified at this moment.

Lin Zhi was a little nervous and subconsciously held his breath.

After getting used to the darkness, she could probably see the figure coming in. It was an adult man.

Without thinking, Lin Zhi picked up the stick in his hand and knocked it down.

The man howled, then reacted and immediately covered his mouth. When Lin Zhi hit him with the stick again, he endured it and didn't make any sound.

But at that moment he also started to fight back, grabbing the stick in Lin Zhi's hand with one hand, and the force pulled Lin Zhi, and she fell to the ground.

"Smelly bitch!"

The man cursed in a low voice and threw the snatched stick at Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi was not stupid. How could she wait for him to hit her? She would have rolled away the moment he raised the stick.
