A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"That's right. I've never seen such a handsome baby. Look at his little appearance. He's so adorable!"

"Of course I will. I have to stay here for a while and enjoy the blessing of the Dashan family. It has been a long time since twins were born in our Linjia Village!"

"That's right. That's why people say Dashan is so blessed. It hasn't been long since he made money and had a son."

Old Li: ...

"Sister Wang, I see your skin seems to be much better than before, is there any way to maintain it? Please teach me."

A woman looked at Wang's fair and rosy skin and asked curiously.

She remembered that Wang Shi in the past was also very dark and rough.

How can you become more beautiful when you have money? Is there any secret?

Who doesn't love beauty? Even old Mrs. Li stared at Wang's face, wishing she could stare a hole in it.

The eldest daughter-in-law's face, without a close look, is indeed much more beautiful than before. Is it because she is pampered, or... Old Li's heart was shamefully moved, her old face slightly red, and she looked at Wang expectantly.

The women in the room shifted their attention from the child to Wang. Even the busy midwife took the time to glance at the hostess, who also wanted to have fewer wrinkles on her face.

The love for beauty is the same for everyone in the world.

Wang:......

Lin Xiaomi: ...

Wang was very uncomfortable being stared at, her face turned red to her ears, and she looked even more beautiful. Li Cuihua's eyes widened, she had been ruthlessly destroyed by Lin Dahe after marrying him, if she could look more beautiful...

Song looked at her rough hands, dazed.

Everyone present had different thoughts, but they all had one goal: to be beautiful!

Seeing her mother was so embarrassed, Lin Xiaomi came to the rescue and said, "Aunts and mothers-in-law, skin care is actually very simple. My mother washes her face with rice water every night, soaks her hands, and then applies facial oil. If she stays out of the sun, her skin will naturally get better.

How come they don’t know that rice washing water has this effect?

Wang also whispered, "Rice water is really effective. You can try it at home. I soaked my hands in it for more than half a month, and the skin on my hands became much better, and my face became whiter."

His eyes scanned from Wang's face to her hands. Well, they did not look rough. Although her hands were not as white and tender as her face, they were very smooth.

We couldn't afford anything else, but we had rice washing water at home, so we all planned to start soaking the rice when we got home in the evening.

Hence, the entire Linjia Village, whether they were unmarried girls or old ladies, would gather together to soak their hands and wash their faces at night.

Rice washing water has gone from being waste water to being a hot commodity in every household.

While we were chatting, the auspicious time for bathing arrived.

The first step of the third day bath is to worship the gods.

The rooster and hen were tied with red cloth and hung in front of the bed. The midwife prepared the incense table and the table. Guan helped Wang get out of bed slowly and worshiped the gods. She worshiped with piety and concentration.

After worshipping the gods, the second step of the third-day bath is to add water to the basin.

The midwife puts a basin filled with Chinese medicinal bath soup such as moxa leaves and locust branches on the bed and picks up the child. Then relatives start to add a spoonful of water to the basin in order of seniority. Some people will add some coins, longans, red dates and other objects.

The order of seniority is in order, and Mrs. Li is the legitimate grandmother, so she should be the first to fill the basin. She stepped forward, picked up the ladle and added a ladle of water. The midwife said: "A steady stream of water will bring good luck and wealth."

Throw in a handful of red dates and peanuts. The midwife said, "May you have a son soon and have many sons." Finally, she took out the 10 coins she had prepared and threw them in.

All the silver was given to the midwife, so in the past everyone would give a few coins as a token of appreciation. Ten coins should be the most given by her today. Li thought proudly that she had given her stepson honor this time.

The wife of the village head then lost 20 coins, the wife of the clan leader lost 30 coins, and the second uncle Lin's wife lost 30 coins...

Old Mrs. Li's face gradually darkened. These people were deliberately slapping her in the face, right? It was just a third day, why did they have to pay so much?

Old Wang came forward and threw a small silver ingot of half a tael. She heard that her daughter had a dangerous birth this time and it was all thanks to the midwife, so she couldn't save this silver. When the midwife saw the silver ingot, her old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

After the elders gave their money, it was the turn of the younger generation. The first one to step forward was Song. She held the five coins she had prepared in her hand and felt extremely embarrassed. If she gave more, she might have given the least, which would be embarrassing. If she gave more, how could her mother-in-law put her face?

Old Mrs. Li really hates those old women. If you want to give more, why don’t you tell her?

What does it mean to leave her alone?

The others really didn't expect that Old Li would only give so little. They all took advantage of the Lin family, and their money was more abundant than before, so they wanted to give more. How long has Dashan been waiting for this son?

Song made up her mind and threw 10 coins as well. She definitely couldn't throw more than her mother-in-law. When Old Li saw this, she glared at her fiercely.

Yang lost 10 cents and Li Cuihua lost 2 cents.

Others also lost five or six cents.

This is not a small amount. The midwife took a look and estimated that it was at least one or two taels of silver. Thanks to the generosity of her mother-in-law, she made a small profit today.

On the day of the birth of her child, Lin Dashan gave her five taels of silver, plus 100 wen a day in compensation for lost wages for living in the manor, so she really made a lot of money for the family. In return, she worked harder.
