Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Liu Xiao'e nodded, "Your sister-in-law is right. His Xie family is also a mud-legged family. The mud on Xie Chunlei's legs hasn't been washed clean yet. Why do you look down on us!"

"To be honest, the Jie family is a good match. Both families are from the countryside, so there is no need to look down on the other. Jie Chunlei is a temporary worker in the township supply and marketing cooperative, which is his advantage. But our daughter is not bad either. Her height and looks are impeccable. She is ranked first in the surrounding villages, but at least she is near the front. She is more than qualified to be a match for the boy from the Jie family." Father Lin didn't like to hear his daughter belittling herself.

After hearing so much from his family, Lin Shu had finally found out that the Lin family was very optimistic about this marriage.

"Since you think that the two families are well matched, then tell me, why hasn't the Xie family taken the initiative to come to us and propose marriage yet?"

This one sentence left everyone present dumbfounded and speechless.

You have to know that in this era, rural girls usually start to get married when they are 17 or 18 years old. Some couples are satisfied and directly get married to form a de facto marriage, and then register when they reach the age.

The Xie family knew that Lin Shu was already 20 years old, but they didn't take the initiative to propose marriage. This was unacceptable. It felt wrong the moment they thought about it.

"I see that Jie Chunlei is very respectful to us every time he comes. He doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with this marriage. Lin Shu, are you unhappy and saying this on purpose?" Lin Wei stared at Lin Shu with suspicion.

Facing his elder brother's distrust, Lin Shu laughed at himself: "Brother, don't you think about it? It doesn't matter if Jie Chunlei is satisfied with this marriage. The most important thing is that his mother is satisfied."

Whether a woman lives a good life after marriage depends on her mother-in-law, and the man is second.

I have seen countless couples in my previous life and concluded that only if the man is good and the in-laws are good, the married life can be good.

If it weren't for Jie Chunlei's mother's obstruction, could the Xie family's marriage have been delayed until now?

However, fortunately it has been delayed until now, giving her a chance to be reborn and come back, otherwise, her life in the Jie family would be in chaos every day.

"Girl, I can see that you are not satisfied with this marriage. You even look down on Chunlei. Tell me, who do you like?" Liu Xiao'e asked.

She was eating happily, but now the more she talked about this matter, the more upset she felt. She immediately lost her appetite. After a busy day, the food on the table tasted bland to her. "Or is it really as Mei Zi said, that he fell in love with the educated youth and ordered that Zhu Zhiqing?"

"I must be blind to fall for that Zhiqing Zhu!"

I was blind in my previous life, but I will never have anything to do with Zhu Zhengliang in this life.

Lin Shu took a deep breath and said, "We know this is impossible, so why should we rush to get close to the Jie family? I will tell you the truth today. A marriage with the Jie family is impossible."

In his previous life, Xie Chunlei finally married Lin Mei. As for whether they were happy after marriage, she didn't know. Only the feet know whether the shoes fit or not.

Later I heard that they bought a house in the county town, and after their son got married, the old couple would sometimes return to the countryside to live.

"Little sister, Xie Chunlei has a job. Even if you sit at home and do nothing, he will still support you if you marry him. You don't want such a good marriage. You are stupid."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Lin family couldn't understand why her sister-in-law was being so pretentious?

You have to know that in this era, for a rural girl to find a man with a job is a blessing from her previous life.

But she didn't dare say that.

Lin Shu frowned slightly, finished the last bit of food in the bowl, and put down his chopsticks.

"Don't try to persuade me. It's impossible for me to get along with Jie Chunlei in this life. I'm done eating. You guys eat slowly. I'm going back to my room to rest first."

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he left his family and returned to his small bedroom.

Back in the bedroom, Lin Shu lay on the bed and first checked the system's results for the day.

In the countryside, medicinal herbs are everywhere. In the afternoon, she goes to the barren hills to graze cattle. She collects and sells medicinal herbs worth a few cents to the system, making a lot of money. Now the balance in the system is 10.1 yuan.

In other words, I earned ten yuan in half a day, which means three hundred yuan a month.

Of course, this assumes that she has time to collect herbs in the wild every day.

In that era, the monthly salary for an apprentice in a city factory was only fifteen yuan, while regular workers could earn twenty or thirty yuan.

If she works harder, she can earn a worker's monthly salary in one day. So why should she be afraid of starting her life over again?

When Lin Shu clicked on the balance to check the details of today's income, the system prompted: [The balance has reached 10 yuan. Host, do you want to upgrade the system? Upgrading to the first level system will open the system mall. Please choose yes or no. ]

"And a mall?"

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow in surprise and quickly confirmed the upgrade.

The upgrade was successful in just a moment, and when Lin Shu opened the system mall, he was dumbfounded.

"Tongzi, what's going on? You have the audacity to call this mall a mall when it only has one product?"

[If you want to have more goods in the mall, please save money and upgrade. 】

Lin Shu looked at the rice displayed in the mall and wanted to touch his forehead.

As for the system mall, I don’t expect your mall to have a wide variety of goods, but at least there should be enough for a small store.

You have the nerve to call it a mall when it only sells the same products?

The current balance still shows 10.1, which means the upgrade is free, which makes her most satisfied.

The next day at work, Lin Shu was assigned the job of turning the soil.

The land had not been cultivated since the crops were harvested last year, and there were many different plants growing on it, most of which were herbs.

While turning the soil, Lin Shu cleared out the plants that were turned out, such as ground ivy, sesbania, rehmannia, fleabane, viola yedoensis, etc. The most common one was Allium macrostemon. It can be said that a lot of herbs can be cleared out from a piece of unturned land.

Lin Shu collected some slightly more expensive ones while no one was paying attention and sold them to the system. He made about five dollars and thirty cents in one morning.

Adding the ten yuan and ten cents from yesterday, she now has a huge fortune of fifteen yuan and forty cents.

"Lin Shu, what are you digging?"

Several Codonopsis pilosula were found in the bushes by the roadside. Before Lin Shu dug out one, she heard someone calling her.

When I turned around, I found that it was Qi Xiaoyun, an educated youth from the village.

"Qi Zhiqing." Lin Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a step back from the hoe he was holding, glanced at the small basket in Qi Xiaoyun's hand, and asked, "Did you go to plant the seeds this morning?"

The educated youth from the city were weak and could not endure hardship, so the accountant usually arranged for them to do some easy farm work, such as transplanting rice seedlings, planting seeds, topping, etc. The small basket in her hand was used to hold corn seeds.

Qi Xiaoyun noticed the hoe in Lin Shu's hand and smiled: "Yes, you got the job of tilling the soil? Tilling the soil is hard and requires strength. Why didn't you get some work of planting? Even digging nests is easier than tilling the soil."

"The work of tilling the soil is worth a lot of money."

Lin Shu's words made Qi Xiaoyun unable to say the kind words she later said, "What are you digging for?"

"My spleen and stomach are weak recently, so I want to dig some herbs and boil them into water to drink."

Codonopsis pilosula nourishes the spleen and lungs, promotes the production of body fluids and nourishes blood. It is a common Chinese medicine for replenishing qi and is quite precious, especially wild Codonopsis pilosula.

Just now she asked the system and it said one plant can be sold for two dollars.

Compared to other herbs that cost just a cent or two, Codonopsis pilosula is considered very expensive.

"Then take care of yourself. Today is my turn to cook. I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go back and cook!"
