A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Wang, a country bumpkin, looked at the tall city gate made of blue bricks, feeling a little excited and a little scared. This is the county town, the city gate is so tall and big!

When I saw that the road surface in the city was made of bluestone, I was shocked. My God, even the road surface in the county town was made of bluestone. The surrounding area was full of blue brick and tile houses. There was not a single adobe house, and many houses even had more than one floor. This city is really nice!

Wang was overwhelmed by the sight. Lin Dashan understood his wife's feelings very well. The first time he entered the city, he was also stunned and stood there stupidly for a long time, not daring to take a step.

"Mom, let's go, let's go to the restaurant to deliver the goods first!"

Looking at the three-story restaurant, the elaborately carved wooden porch, and the red silk hangings on both sides, it was obvious that the restaurant was doing a booming business. The waiter welcoming guests at the door was dressed in green. The magnificent plaque had words she didn't recognize. Wang's eyes almost popped out. This was the best restaurant in the county! This was the restaurant that bought goods from her family! How luxurious!

Wang swallowed and said, "How about I wait for you here?" She was a little timid.

"What are you waiting for, mom? Let's go in and broaden our horizons!"

Lin Xiaomi dragged her mother in without saying anything.

"Brother Lin, Xiaomi is here!" Shopkeeper Xu greeted him warmly when he saw him. "This is..."

"This is Xiaomi Niang. Let's take her to see the house today!"

"Of course!" Buying a house is a big deal, and it's something you do with the family.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello! Hello!" Faced with the shopkeeper who greeted her, Wang was nervous and at a loss.

Lin Xiaomi sighed, her mother was suppressed by her grandmother for too many years, she had extremely low self-esteem, rarely went out, and had no social skills at all. She had to practice more in the future!

Even after leaving the restaurant, Wang was still a little dazed, "The people in this restaurant are so polite!"

"Puchi!" Lin Xiaomi couldn't help laughing, "Mom, do you know how much a serving of crystal minced meat costs? We are the God of Wealth, how can we not be polite? Besides, he is running a business, isn't it his duty to be respectful to his customers?"

Wang felt that her daughter was right, but something didn't feel right. It seemed like the first time she had been respected like this. It felt really good!

"It's still early, let's go find Zhao Zhongren."

Wang, a country girl who moved to the city, learned for the first time that there was a screen wall at the entrance of a house. The house was also divided into separate courtyards. Each room was made of blue bricks and tiles. These city people were really rich!

The gate of the scholar's house was made of mahogany, tall and thick. Opening the gate was a screen wall, and passing through the screen wall was a long corridor. In the courtyard, there were several sycamore trees with lush branches and leaves, and 6 side rooms on each side. In the middle was a large water tank, facing three halls, which were usually used for meeting guests. Generally, guests stopped here, and the second entrance was where the owner lived.

Going forward, there is a large garden with all kinds of beautiful flowers blooming all over the yard. There is even a pond in the yard with lotus flowers in full bloom. Under the shade of the trees, there are stone tables and stone benches for people to rest. Lin Xiaomi thought, if she buys it, she will have lotus seeds to eat in the future. This pond can also be used to raise fish, and fish can be caught anytime, so it doesn't need to be too moist.

The house is obviously more exquisite, with a main house, wing rooms, lower room, and rain porch, a total of 16 rooms.

The third courtyard is smaller than the second courtyard, with 12 rooms, and 8 servants' rooms behind the third courtyard.

Lin Xiaomi was very satisfied with this house. The only drawback was that it was too big and it was tiring to clean it. But it was not a big deal. She could hire or buy someone after saving some money. This was ancient times. She had no objection to buying someone. When in Rome, do as the Romans do!

Wang was so amazed that she couldn't even think about buying this place. Wouldn't it be too much of a blessing? !

After looking around, Wang had no objection to buying a house. She thought a house worth a few dozen taels was fine. But seeing her husband and daughter looked down on her, she said nothing. Xiaomi and Lin Dashan still made the decision.

Finally, it was finalized that the scholar's three-story house was purchased. It was fully furnished and ready for immediate move-in. The store sold for 110 taels of silver, plus the commission for the middleman and the transfer fee. So far, 400 taels of silver were not enough, and the money from today's sales added another 5 taels of silver.

Zhao Zhongren didn't expect them to be so straightforward and actually bought two properties at once, and both were worth a lot of money. He didn't expect that a family wearing coarse linen clothes would have such a rich family. He only accompanied them to see the houses twice, and earned 9 taels of silver as a brokerage fee, which was enough to cover his income for two or three months. He was really satisfied.

"Brother Lin, come to me if you need anything in the future. Do you want to rent out your newly bought shop? I can also help people rent it out here."

Lin Dashan glanced at Xiaomi and saw her nod. "I wonder how much rent you can get in a year?"

"Although the location of your shop is not the best, it is not too bad. You can still get 8 taels of rent a year."

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Zhao to rent it out for me!"

"Sure, sure!!!"

Zhao Zhongren happily went to the government office to get a red deed after taking on another business. As for Lin Dashan, he bought two locks, changed the locks of his new house and shop, and then went shopping with his wife and daughter.

Xiaomi took her mother to the cloth store and bought some fine cotton for underwear. She also picked out two new sets of clothes for each person, all made of fine cotton. Now that their family does less rough work, it is more comfortable to wear fine cotton at home. She also bought a set for the old man and the old lady. It is not right for them to all wear new clothes while the old man still wears patched clothes. Although the family has separated, it is still the duty of filial piety to the elderly.

"Mom, please buy some cotton. Our quilt is too hard and not warm enough. Also, buy two sets of blankets and replace them!"

The quilt she has been covering herself with since she was a child has no idea how many years it has been used. Not only is it covered with patches, it is also not warm. Now that she is rich, why is she still treating herself badly!

Today, they bought a house, and almost all the money in the family was gone. Wang didn't want to spend any more money. "Xiaomi, let's buy it later. We bought a lot of things today!"

"Buy it, buy it, Dad. I want to sleep by myself. Buy me an extra bed!" If she doesn't move out, how can her parents have a son!

Lin Dashan thought about it and decided that these were all what the family needed, so he wouldn’t waste money, so he bought them!

So, she bought two more sets of bedding and 10 catties of cotton. When she left the store, Wang's heart was bleeding. She had 400 taels of silver when she came here, plus the dozens of taels she earned from selling goods, and now she only had 12 taels of silver left. This money was too much to spend!

Her son Xiaomi is also a big spender. He buys things without hesitation and buys whatever he likes.

However, she was secretly delighted in her heart. Their family had a house and a shop in the city, and they were considered half city dwellers! Who would look down on her for not having a son in the future? In addition, she also liked the new quilt and new clothes that Xiaomi had chosen for her!

After the family had a bowl of noodles in the city, they had so many bags and so many things to carry that they hired a bullock cart to go home.

Lin Xiaomi feels that she still needs to work hard to make money, buy land, jewelry, and a car!

Her father has to deliver goods every day, so the family still needs a car.
