The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Li Xi looked at the completed plan and sighed. Other people who traveled through time either became princesses or ladies from high-class families. Their starting points were all there. But she was transported back to become a country girl, with nothing she wanted.

Li Xi put down the plan, closed her eyes and did eye exercises.

They are now penniless. Although they made some money from selling medicinal herbs a few days ago, they cannot just sit there and do nothing. The most urgent thing now is to make money.

There are many ways to make money these days, but Li Xi feels that not many of them are suitable for her.

In modern times, she has a junior sister who is a fan of in-depth novels. She loves the heroine traveling back to ancient times to play with infrastructure and promote industrialization.

She often recommended books to her, and she read one out of helplessness.

She remembered that in the novel, the heroine's family was exiled to the border because of her father's involvement. The heroine relied on her intelligence and wisdom to not only thrive in exile, but also cooperated with the officers escorting them to sell soap and made a lot of money, and thereby gained a large number of fans.

When she arrived at the border, she was proficient in all kinds of skills, making cold noodles, barbecued roujiamo, hot pot, milk tea and pancakes; searching for good varieties and cultivating high-yield crops; castrating pigs and raising cattle, building a small ranch at the border; generating wind and electricity, building cities, making cement roads, and making glass.

They even opened a chain of large shopping malls, focusing on the concept of having everything, being able to do everything, and being able to do everything!

But she can't do it. She can cook, but that's just enough to eat; she knows nothing about agriculture and animal husbandry; castrating pigs and raising cattle is barely enough for her. She is good at chemistry, and her physics knowledge makes her understand the principles of cement roads and glass making very clearly, so there is no problem with that either.

But these are useless to her as a little country girl.

The border was poor and no one raised pigs. Farming and work were almost all done by manpower. If a village had a cow, they lived a pretty good life. At least there were no cows in Lijiazhuang, only Erqiangye's family had an old donkey.

She knew how to make cement roads and burn glass, but she didn't plan to take them out.

The child is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. These two were two powerful weapons in the backward ancient times. She didn't want to gamble with her own free zone. After all, this was an ancient time when people regarded human life as worthless.

She couldn't keep her identity as a farm girl. Maybe she would use it in the future, but by then she would definitely have the ability to protect herself.

As for how to make money, she has already thought about it. Li Xi glanced at the backpack at her feet, which was selling medicinal herbs.

There are many mountains near Lijiazhuang, or rather the entire Jiangning City is mountainous. Mountains are not called treasure houses for nothing. Li Xi plans to repeat his previous way of making money - selling medicinal herbs.

The reason why she sold it at such a high price this time was all because of ginseng and bungarus, but she doesn't always have such luck.

If there was only one medicinal herb, Gastrodia elata, she estimated that she wouldn't be able to sell it for even one or two taels of silver, so she didn't plan to sell the herbs like she did before.

What she wants to be is a middleman.

That’s right, it’s so down-to-earth. After all, her funds are limited and she can’t open a bigger business.

Moreover, it is not so easy to be a middleman. After finishing the eye exercises, Li Xi opened his eyes. The first step was to establish a mature sales channel.

So she needs to do some research before discussing cooperation.

According to her plan, she needed to go to the back mountain again to see what medicinal herbs were there.

The snow on the ground has not melted yet, so every household is relatively free.

When Li Xi came out of her room, she saw her mother sitting in the main room sewing clothes, and Hu Zi was leaning beside her watching her sewing.

Li Tiezhu was literate and he taught Li Xi and Hu Zi how to read and write when he was alive, so Lady Liu was not surprised that Li Xi could recognize and write.

Seeing that Li Xi had been writing and painting these days, Madam Liu specifically told Hu Zi not to disturb her.

Seeing Li Xi coming out, Madam Liu looked up and said, "You must be tired. Stop writing and take a break."

"Yeah." Li Xi took a small stool and sat down, "I've finished writing."

Madam Liu bit off the string. She just thought that Li Xi was practicing calligraphy these days. Although she didn't know why she practiced calligraphy for so many days, she seldom asked about Li Xi's affairs since that day. Or, she had already assumed that Li Xi was an adult.

Li Xi could see that there was a gap between her and her mother after that day, but she didn't care. She was no longer at the age where she needed maternal love. What's more, Madam Liu's love was too universal for her, and it was based on self-sacrifice, which she couldn't do.

Madam Liu has indeed been subconsciously avoiding Li Xi recently. Although she agreed that Li Xi would make all decisions about household affairs after that day, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh." Madam Liu responded and lowered her head to continue what she was doing.

Hu Zi looked left and right, feeling a little unhappy. Although he was young, he could feel that something was wrong at home in recent days.

"Mom, Huzi is not young anymore, and it's time for him to start his education. I want to send him to school." Li Xi said.

"What?!" Madam Liu looked at Li Xi in shock, "What did you just say? Say it again?"

Li Xi: …

"I say send Huzi to school. People should study more."

Madam Liu looked down at Hu Zi who was leaning against her. Hu Zi's little face was flushed as he looked at Daya excitedly with joy in his eyes, but he was very restrained and did not speak.

Seeing him like this, Madam Liu felt sad.

"Daya, mother knows you are doing this for Hu Zi's own good, but do you know how much money it will cost to send Hu Zi to school?

You also know what our family situation is like..."

The light in Hu Zi's eyes gradually went out with Liu Niangzi's voice. He was sensible and said nothing, but just lowered his head, not wanting anyone to see his lost look.

"Mom," Li Xi interrupted her, "I'll find a way to deal with the money. Huzi is still young and can't do much if he stays at home. It's better to send him to school so that he can learn more knowledge. At least he won't be blind in the future."

Madam Liu was stunned. The child's father had said this before. He said that he would earn money to support Huzi's education in the future. Even if he couldn't change his family background, at least he couldn't be a blind man like before.

Madam Liu looked at Hu Zi who was lowering his head beside her. She knew that studying was a good thing, but their family could not afford to have a scholar in their current situation.

The village chief's family has so many laborers, but they are still facing famine just because they have to support a boy to go to school. How can their family survive?

"Daya, mother knows you have good intentions, but our family cannot afford to support a scholar.

Let’s forget about Huzi’s studies.”

Education is too expensive and their family cannot afford it.
