A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

New Year's Eve.

Lin Dashan brought Wang Shi and Xiaomi to have the reunion dinner.

Taohong ran to play with Xiaomi when she saw her. Wanxiu saw Xiaomi's new clothes and her teeth chattered with jealousy. This damn girl, is she really showing off? How many new clothes did her uncle buy for her? Every time he saw her, she wore a different one.

Uncle, aunt, don't you know to save some money for your son? Why are you so nice to this money-loser!

Li was immersed in grief, and she had to serve Cuihua and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family. She had no mood to look at the clothes of her stepson's family. She had no time to rest all day on the 31st.

Li Cuihua lay on the bed, groaning half-dead. This year, she would not be able to return to her parents' home. Touching her abdomen, her eyes were filled with tears. Her child was gone before she knew it. Lin Dahe, this beast!

My mother said that life was difficult for a divorced woman, and asked her to be patient and have a child as soon as possible so that she would have someone to rely on. When the child grew up, Lin Dahe would be fine.

But she didn't want to have a child with that man at all! She hated him!

Li Cuihua closed her eyes and shed a tear.

The New Year's Eve dinner was dull. Old Man Lin just drank alone and soon passed out. He was carried into the house and lay down. Everyone else had their own thoughts. The children didn't dare to say anything for fear of being beaten.

Xiaomi's family felt that the meal was a bit indigestible. After the meal, they returned to the village to stay up all night.

"Boss, it seems that everyone was quite shocked by the Dahe incident and they haven't recovered yet."

Stimulate?

Xiaomi snorted coldly. She felt that everyone was making their own calculations.

The whole family huddled in a warm bunk bed, put out various foods, and began to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

"Dad, Mom, I want to buy some people after the New Year."

Buy someone?

The two looked at Lin Xiaomi. Aren’t there enough servants at home for them to use?

"I want to build a workshop after the New Year. We are already struggling to supply oil skins. If the Han family increases the quantity, we won't have enough manpower."

Also, after the Chinese New Year, she wanted to try making handmade soap. The soap here is not only crudely made, but also very expensive. A small piece of scented soap costs 500 wen, and a piece without scent costs 300 wen.

Handmade soap, she had seen a short video about how to make it before, it was just lard and lye water, after trying the ratio several times, she could always make it. There are many flowers in spring, so she can collect some dried flowers and use them slowly.

Low investment, big profits, the dream of becoming a wealthy man without doing anything is one step closer.

"More goods? How do you know? They want more goods now, right?"

"This is just the beginning, Dad. You don't think the Han family is satisfied with the business in the county and the capital, right? Mr. Han's ambitions are definitely more than just this."

Seeing her daughter's confident look, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you really increase the quantity, we will hire someone else."

"We were in a hurry at that time, so we started to build a workshop in the spring. Dad, the oil skin can be stored, and we are not afraid of too much."

“How many people?”

"About 60, 30 men and 30 women."

"So much?" Wang also took a breath of cold air. Her daughter's tone was too arrogant.

"Don't we have to build a house after the New Year?"

"Build, build more, and add more varieties of winter vegetables."

This is certainly possible. As a winter vegetable, it is not an exaggeration to make a fortune from it.

"My girl, if you keep doing this, won't our village be too crowded?"

Lin Dashan was a little worried, as Zhuangzi didn't seem to be enough for his daughter to bother with.

"If it's not too crowded, we can build two or three floors. And we still have hills, so we can fence off two of them after the New Year and raise chickens there."

Free range chicken, so delicious!

"Can chickens survive on the mountain? What do chickens eat?"

"They can survive. It's not that they don't feed them. It's mainly because the mountain is big and there are many chickens that can be raised."

"What should we do about chicken plague?"

"Raise them in batches and sell them when they grow big. Five or six hundred won't be a problem. The mountain is so big!"

Is my daughter going to do something big? There are only a few two-story houses in the city.

Lin Dashan shook his head. By this calculation, he really didn't have many days of free time after the New Year.

Lin Xiaomi was young and had never stayed up all night in these years, so she fell asleep before the end of the watch. After Wang and Lin Dashan finished their watch, they also lay down and fell asleep.

Early in the morning of the New Year, we must go to the old house to pay New Year's greetings. We cannot be late.

Xiaomi was pulled out of bed by her mother before she even woke up. She didn't dare to get angry at all. It's like this every year. On the first day of the new year, she has to get up at dawn to celebrate the new year!

When I arrived at the old house, I felt it was deserted and there was no New Year atmosphere at all. The children were hiding in the house and were very well behaved. My parents said that something happened at home in the past few days and they would get hurt if they were naughty.

Old Lin and old Li sat in the main hall with wooden faces. Lin Dashan, Wang and other sons and daughters-in-law knelt down to wish each other a happy new year. Li hummed and said nothing auspicious, and gave each person a red envelope.

When it was the grandchildren's turn, it was still the same. Xiaomi felt the hard lump in the red envelope, two copper coins.

This cheap grandmother of hers must be out of money. I heard that Fourth Aunt spent a lot of money on her medical treatment.

Lin Dashan's family doesn't care. If they don't want to smile, then don't smile. They have never been treated well in previous years.

Lin Dachuan and Lin Dahai were upset. No matter how big the problem was, the two old people shouldn't be so cold on New Year's Day. Besides, what did it have to do with them? If they had the guts, they could go find the fourth brother!

Lin Dahai was not a person who would swallow his anger. After breakfast, he took Yang and the children to Lin Dashan's house, under the pretext of visiting his eldest brother to wish a happy new year.

Lin Xiaomi...

I suspect you are here to eat at my house.

Lin Dachuan couldn't leave, they still had to prepare lunch. Mrs. Song was furious, so she gave each child a handful of candy, a handful of melon seeds, and five cents, and told them to go out and have fun.

"Second brother, is Cuihua's medicine ready?"

"It'll be ready soon."

Song rolled her eyes and said she would go back to her parents' home tomorrow and come back after dinner. Whoever beat her should serve her, she owed them.

Mrs. Li was in a bad mood. She had no money to give a few more red envelopes today, and she had no hope of returning to her parents' home tomorrow. Now she was hoping that her daughter would give her more filial gifts tomorrow.

Her niece was lying down, and she went back with a lick of her old face. Wouldn't she be scolded to death by her sister-in-law? She had been married to the Lin family for decades, and this was the first time she couldn't go back to her parents' home. She was almost depressed to death.

There are red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the village, which looks very festive.

Lin Dahai looked at him enviously, wishing he could own a farm, have banquets every day, have people carry him wherever he goes, and become a big shot!

Alas, my elder brother doesn’t know how to enjoy his good fortune. I heard that he even works with farmers. He is really... stupid.

This was their second visit to Zhuangzi. Along the way, they were just like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. Everything they saw was new to them, and they exclaimed in amazement and praised the guests.

Xiaomi Family: …

It’s not like you haven’t been here before, so what’s the big deal?
