A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"Second brother!"

"Coming!"

Lin Mujin glanced at the younger brother who came in, then turned his attention to the shed that was being built.

"This is……"

"The matter of harvesting mushrooms is left to Fuyou in the mountains. We can build a shed and store the mushrooms."

Lin Dashan choked.

It’s been a long time…

"Second brother, why did Dashan become like this? He is selfish and doesn't care about brotherhood at all. Do you know that he buys mushrooms from Dachuan and his friends for 45 cents per pound, the same as in the village? What does he mean by that? Does he want to earn his brother's money too? "

In front of Lin Mujin, he didn't dare to complain about his eldest son asking Lin Fuyou to buy mushrooms.

"Then what do you want him to do? Buy the mushrooms from Dachuan at the original price? How do you know that Dashan is not working for the village for nothing? Even if he makes a profit, given your Dahai's personality, he will make the price of Dashan's goods known to everyone. Should the buyer also give Dachuan a share, so that others can steal his big brother's business?"

"Second brother, what are you talking about? We are all brothers. How could Dachuan and his gang steal the boss's business? Besides, if he sells it to his brothers at the original price, they can still tell him about it. We are all family. Why is he so cunning and doesn't trust his brothers at all!"

"How can you make him believe that his brothers never robbed him of his things? Then why did the family division only give him this little property?"

"That's what I want to divide. It's my decision. There are few people in my family. If I give him too much land, he won't be able to cultivate it. Besides, he has no son, who will inherit this land in the future? Dachuan and Dahai have many children, and the cost of the imperial examination is also high. I am considering several children. Why can't he understand my painstaking efforts?"

Lin Mujin looked at his younger brother. He married a virtuous wife, but his wife was not easy to deal with. She was cunning and cunning. But his younger brother was easily influenced by others, had no opinion, and was not very smart.

"You are confused. You are considering them. Let me ask you, Dachuan took away 7% of his brother's property. Did he refuse? Doesn't he know the rules of dividing the family? He felt at ease taking his eldest brother's property. When Dashan built a house, did Dachuan and Dahai go to help several times? Did Dahe go once?"

"After Dashan split up, have you ever been to his home to take a look? Have his brothers ever been there to help out? You're saying his family is young and naive, isn't it because you saw that mushrooms can make money and want to get some of it? Now I ask you to help him pick mushrooms for free, are you willing?"

Lin Mutu: ...

"Since you don't treat his son as a brother, why should he be so heartless to you. Have you ever thought about why he called Fuyou for help instead of Dachuan? When he was building a house, Fuyou went to help every day. When he was moving, Fuyou also went. When they were moving that day, I asked, "Is there anyone in the family who can help?" The whole village was watching. Do you know what they said? They said that you kicked the three of them out of the house. As soon as they left the house, your wife shut the door tightly, and the family didn't even have anyone to see them off. There was only half a cart of broken belongings. Do you think any family in the village would divide up their property like this?"

Lin Mutu: ...

"Now that I see others making money, I'm jealous. I can't stand it anymore and feel left out. Let me tell you, it's too late. You still have Dachuan, Dahai, and Dahe, and you just spoil them. Look at what they've become. They suck the blood of their brothers and are not soft-hearted at all. They only take advantage of opportunities and don't even look at anything that doesn't benefit them. These kids have grown up crooked!"

Lin Mutu felt so ashamed after being scolded by his brother. Could it be, could it be... that he really made a wrong division of the family?

"Brother, why did Dashan rise up as soon as the family split? What does it mean? It means that he has been suppressed by you all these years and can't accomplish anything! If you continue to indulge Dachuan and the others, you will regret it in the future!"

Lin Mutu was so scolded by his brother that he began to doubt his life and returned home in despair.

"How about it, Dad? I'll go find my eldest brother and ask him to give me the job of receiving the goods!"

"Fuck you, your elder brother is already rich, what else do you want?"

Lin Mutu glanced at his second son who remained silent, and thought of what his second brother had said. It seemed, really, that the second, third, and fourth sons, when dividing the family property, had never said a single word that his eldest brother should get 7%.

Lin Mutu felt uncomfortable and went back to his room to rest. Seeing this, Li knew that her old man did not get the good deal from Lin Mujin, so she could not say anything more. Li's greatest strength was that she knew the situation and could tolerate. But she really hated Lin Mujin, who always interfered in everything in her family, but the old man had a good relationship with the second brother.

Sure enough, the next day, when Lin Xiaomi and Wang arrived at the bamboo forest, they saw dozens of people picking bamboo fungus. Looking around, they could only see people, and almost no white dots. The villagers are really hardworking! It seems that the day has just dawned, right?

"Mom, let's go back. There are so many people here. How many flowers can we compete with others for? How much money can we earn in a day? If we have the time, we might as well use the cloth Dad bought to make clothes. Look at Dad. He goes to the city every day and wears patched clothes."

"I should have told them a few days later." Wang still felt sorry for the money she earned from picking mushrooms.

"You can't think like that, Mom. How much can you and I pick in a day? Most of the mushrooms will rot in the ground. Not only will they not waste anything, but the more they pick, the more money we make. Mom, we get 15 cents for a pound!"

“Oh, you are good at calculating. Mother is crazy. Let’s go. I won’t pick them anymore. Let’s go home and let mother make clothes for you!” Wang suddenly realized something and refused to accept the money. Her family did nothing but make money by delivering goods. With so many people, how much could they earn? ? ! ! ! She was not as smart as her daughter! ! ! !

The sun is strong now, and the mushrooms will be dried in two days. The first batch of dried mushrooms were delivered to Lin Fugui's yard. He and his elder brother inspected the goods, and his father was responsible for paying.

The villagers were holding the copper coins and silver pieces they had earned, with faces full of satisfaction. These days, every household is picking mushrooms, and if there are not enough in the village, they go to nearby areas to pick them. The bamboo forests and mountain forests are all ownerless, and whoever picks first gets it. So, today, each family picked at least five or six catties, and at most more than 20 catties. At 45 wen per catty, this money came too quickly and too easily. Holding the money in my hand, it still feels unreal. In addition to my own village, villagers from many other nearby villages also carry loads to sell mushrooms. Those who have sold are reluctant to leave, as they all want to see how much others have sold. Lin Fugui's courtyard has never been more lively.

Li Xiaomi was very happy as he put basket after basket of dried mushrooms into the sacks. The bamboo fungus picking season was still one or two months away, so his family could make a lot of money this time! It was not until dark that Lin Fugui's courtyard became deserted.
