A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich
Chapter 17 Controversy over mushroom harvesting
The head of the village took an iron pot and knocked on it in the village, informing everyone that a meeting would be held in the evening. He said directly that the meeting was about Lin Dashan's mushroom harvest.
The whole village was in an uproar. Who is Lin Dashan? If it weren't for the family division, they would have almost forgotten that there was such a person. The idiot who was almost kicked out of the house by his own father and didn't even fight for it now wants to harvest mushrooms. Is this possible?
Many people crowded into the village head's house to ask, and some even went to Lin Dashan's house. Seeing so many people making noise at the door, Lin Xiaomi said with a headache: "Dad, just tell them to take them to Brother Fuyou after drying, and pay on the spot, no delay. Those who don't believe it don't have to go to pick them."
Lin Dashan also thought that this would work. He also wanted to make crystal sashimi. It would be a shame if everyone crowded into his house and couldn't do any work.
After hearing Lin Dashan say that he would not delay the payment, everyone thought that this thing dried quickly and it would only take a few days. They would know after trying it. If they really paid, they would really get rich! ! Who doesn't have a few idle people in the family? It won't hurt to try it. After the bamboo forest in the village is harvested, there are still many bamboo forests near the city. Besides, they don't believe Lin Dashan, they believe the head of the village! Without certainty, the head of the village would never hold this meeting.
So, the villagers went back to their homes to discuss and arrange mushroom picking for tomorrow. Seeing that everyone had left, Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing so many people, she was nervous, afraid that someone would run into her kitchen.
"Dad, when you go to deliver the crystal meatballs tomorrow, exchange some copper coins with the shopkeeper."
"How much?"
"Half of the money in the house should be exchanged for copper coins, and the other half should be exchanged for small change. You should discuss with Shopkeeper Xu whether you can get some silver in advance. I don't think we have enough money at home."
"Do you need so much?" Wang asked in surprise. The family already has several dozen taels of silver. Is this not enough?
"I'm just worried that if it's not enough, not only the mushrooms from our village, but also from outside the village, I guess all the mushrooms from the entire county will be sent to our house, so it's always better to prepare more." Those petty people in the village, if they don't see the money, who knows what they will do. She was annoyed.
Li said worriedly, "Will the restaurant be willing to lend money on credit?" Although she never went out, she still knew how difficult it was to borrow money.
"Yes, we pay him on credit to get the goods."
"Dad, if it's possible tomorrow, we can borrow 20 taels on credit first, which is enough for a few days of crystal minced meat. It should be no problem." She chose the latter when she owed the villagers and the restaurant.
"Okay, I'll go talk to you tomorrow. You guys should not go picking mushrooms tomorrow, there will definitely be too many people in the bamboo forest."
Wang was a bit socially anxious and didn't dare to talk to people. She would lower her head when she saw people working. But she couldn't bear to spend the money for mushrooms. One catty cost 60 coins, which could buy several catties of meat.
"You better go ahead. I'll just pick mine. Xiaomi will go with me tomorrow. It's okay."
Lin Xiaomi: …Actually, she didn’t want to go. Wouldn’t it be nice to just lie down at home and collect the goods and make the difference? How much can you pick by yourself? She is still a child. Don’t you feel guilty about using child labor?
Complaints aside, "Dad, mom and I will pick them together tomorrow, don't worry!"
Picking mushrooms in the morning, making crystal sashimi in the afternoon, and chopping some firewood, Wang arranged her time very tightly. These jobs were much easier than what she did in the old house. The key was that she was free, and no one was constantly reminding her of her immorality and the fact that she had no son.
Lin Mutu thought that picking mushrooms was a job that his eldest son did to help his brother, but he didn't expect that the whole village knew about it. What he didn't expect was that the recycling price for his family was the same as that of the villagers.
"Patta, patta..." The old man kept smoking his pipe, his face so gloomy that water could drip from it.
"Dad, what's wrong with my eldest brother now? He doesn't think about our family when he has such a good thing, but lets others get the benefit!" Lin Dahai expressed his dissatisfaction.
"That's right, old man. Dashan has lost interest in you! He doesn't even think about the fact that Dahai, Dachuan and the others are his brothers. If he has any problems in the future, he will need the help of his brothers."
"Yes, Dad, even if the eldest brother wants to collect the mushrooms, he can't charge 45 cents. Let us brothers help him collect them. One pound is 30 cents or 20 cents, and there are a lot of people who want to do it." Lin Dachuan was not angry. "I heard that he asked Fuyou to help him collect mushrooms. What does this mean? He doesn't use his own brothers and asks outsiders. What will the villagers think of our family if they see us!"
Old Man Lin remained silent. This eldest son's behavior really broke his heart. He was so considerate of him, trying to treat him equally and doing as much as possible for him. Unexpectedly... this eldest son has no conscience!
He didn't believe that Lin Dashan sold mushrooms for 45 cents per pound, and he himself didn't make a penny. Apart from other things, the fact that the price at home and outsiders was the same was enough to show that he didn't regard this home as his home, and didn't regard the sea, the river, and the ocean as his brothers.
A hero needs three helpers. If he runs such a big business by himself, he needs his brothers to work together to make it big and good. What can the two of them in his family, a woman and a little girl, do?
He was unhappy, and his wife and children kept complaining. He couldn't bring himself to beg his son to raise the price of their mushrooms and get his job back.
Unable to stay at home, he got up and went to his second brother's house.
