A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Wang had a lot of work to do every day, including cutting grass for pigs, and limited time to dig Poria cocos. So Xiaomi, a 7-year-old child laborer, went to the mountain to dig Poria cocos alone during the day. Fortunately, the mountain was not high and there were no wild animals, otherwise Lin Dashan would never let her work alone.

A small person could probably dig hundreds of kilograms of Poria cocos a day, but they didn't dare to take it home. They just found a secluded place on the mountain and hid it secretly.

They dug and sold the fruits quietly. After more than half a month, most of the tuckahoe had been dug up by the three of them, except for a small portion left for seeds.

Lin Dashan went to the town clinic to sell it about 10 times and earned a total of 8 taels of silver.

At night, the family of three locked the door. Wang and Lin Dashan looked at the silver in their hands, their eyes red. They had never touched silver in their lives. This was the first time, how could they not be excited.

The two of them touched each other again and again, sitting on the edge of the bed and laughing foolishly. She looked at them speechlessly, ignored her excited parents, and ate the cakes her father bought.

"Mother, keep this bag of brown sugar. Mix it with millet and make a bowl of it every day. If it's gone, we can buy more.

"Hey."

Brown sugar is a precious thing, and in order to have a son, Wang didn't care about the cost.

"Mom, let's eat boiled eggs with brown sugar tomorrow. It's good for your health."

"Okay, let's go to the mountain cave and cook tomorrow."

Because Li never gave any eggs to her Xiao Mi, Wang felt sorry for her child and sometimes secretly took one egg to satisfy her craving. Xiao Mi was sensible and never ate alone. She would only eat one egg among the three of them. The chickens were all in her hands. Gradually, the occasional egg became two, three, and now, three eggs a day.

She was the one who cooked all the meals. Sometimes she boiled them in the stove, sometimes she roasted them in the fire, sometimes she just ate them with boiling water, and sometimes she brought a porcelain bowl to the woods to cook egg soup.

After a few years, no one noticed. The main reason was that the second and third sons were lazy and refused to do any housework. The mother-in-law was old and spent most of her time embroidering purses besides taking care of the house. In addition, Wang was an honest person and no one thought she would steal eggs. She was also very careful, so no one noticed her stealing eggs.

"Where have they all gone? It's already this late and the kitchen is still empty. I'm worried about them every day..."

The second wife, Song, and the third wife, Yang, slowly poked their heads out of their rooms and said, "Mom, I have been embroidering all day. I have been busy all the time."

"That's right, mother. Where is my sister-in-law? I haven't seen her for most of the day. I don't know where she is hiding away!"

Because Lin Dashan and their husbands are not born of the same mother, the two sisters-in-law and the mother-in-law usually unite to deal with the outside world and squeeze out Wang, and they are very united.

Xiaomi rolled her eyes. Without her mother, are you all going to starve to death? Will you die if you move? You all think you are the eldest daughter!

"Grandma, Mommy's out collecting grass for the pigs and she's not back yet."

"It's already so late and you haven't come back yet. You are such an old woman, I have to serve the whole family..."

Too lazy to listen to her nagging, she went out to look for her mother. She was a little worried because she hadn't been home for so long. Why hadn't her mother come back yet? Why did it take so long to cut the grass for the pigs? She was a little worried, so she put on her straw sandals and prepared to go out to look for her.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw her father carrying her mother on his back and rushing home, followed by several women.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. We went to collect grass for the pigs and saw your mother fainted on the hilltop. We couldn't carry her, so we went to look for your father."

"Yeah, it's been such a long time since we came back and forth, but your mother hasn't woken up yet. I don't know what happened!"

"I touched it, and my face turned red and my body felt really hot!"

"What a sin! If I hadn't seen it, no one would have known that I had died on the mountain!"

Several women spoke one by one, and Xiaomi quickly sorted out all the information, that is, her mother was sick and fainted.

"Could you please call a doctor for my mother?"

"I've called. Your second uncle is also in the field. He went to find a doctor!"

It's good to be called. Xiaomi returned to her room worriedly and stayed with her mother. She came here with the memory of her previous life. When she came to this world, the couple never treated her badly because she was a girl. To her, they were her parents and a family.

Lin Dashan wiped the sweat off his wife's face with a towel, and then put the towel on her forehead to cool her down. Her cheeks were red and she had a severe fever. Xiaomi was worried. In ancient times when there was no antipyretic medicine, a fever could cost a person's life.

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here!"

A man in his 40s, wearing a thin cotton coat and carrying a medical box, walked in.

"Doctor Xu, please take a look at his mother."

As soon as Lin Dashan saw people, he gave up his seat.

The doctor stepped forward, took a look at Wang's red face, and began to feel her pulse. After a moment, he put down her wrist and said, "The patient must have been overworked, malnourished, and overworked, which caused her to faint and have a fever. You must take good care of your body and not overwork. I will prescribe some medicine first. If the fever doesn't subside by tomorrow morning, I will send her to the town clinic. If the fever subsides, she will be fine."

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar. Li had always had a good reputation in the village due to overwork and malnutrition. Unexpectedly...

For a time, there was a lot of discussion...

Everyone knows that most of the work in the Lin family is done by Lin Dashan and his wife. It is the same in every family. They are all flesh and blood, so it is inevitable that there will be bias. Besides, doesn't Lin Dashan have any objections?

They were a very honest couple. Apart from working, they had little contact with the villagers. No one knew much about their family situation. It was unbelievable that this Mr. Li would torture his wife like this. He was really cruel.

When Li heard the doctor's words, her face turned pale. Song and Yang also stood at the door and dared not say a word. If the reputation of abusing their daughter-in-law spread, who would dare to marry their daughter to the Lin family?

Old man Lin rushed home and glared at Li fiercely.

"Yes, thank you, doctor." Lin Dashan followed the doctor back to get the medicine, while Xiaomi stayed with Wang. Looking at Wang, his eyes turned red, and tears fell. The women around him couldn't help but feel sad. This family was pitiful.

There was nothing in the room except a kang, a table with broken legs, and two stools. Even the blanket that Wang was covering herself with was patched up and could not be seen in its original state.

Some aunties with low tear points also had red eyes.

In just one night, the image of Li as a virtuous stepmother that she had worked hard to maintain for decades was destroyed.

Late at night, Old Man Lin scolded Li.

Lin Dashan prepared the medicine, and Wang had already woken up. He fed her the medicine spoonful by spoonful, and then helped her lie down again. Xiaomi stayed with her mother, and Lin Dashan went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of rice porridge.

Li took the rice out on her own initiative. Whether she was willing or not, she knew she couldn't cause trouble at this time. Li had always been very conscious of the situation. She knew when to do something and how to treat people. She was very good at judging people and serving them what they wanted. Over the years, she had the old man Lin Muchu under her control.

Wang had worked for many years and her health was good. Her fever went away in the middle of the night. Xiaomi stayed by her side for most of the night until her fever went away before she could rest assured and go to bed. Children can't stay up all night, but she couldn't stand it any longer and just kept trying.

The other members of the Lin family had already gone to bed. The next morning, Lin Dashan went out to collect firewood, but no one came to ask him about his concern. He felt very disappointed.
