A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"Xiaomi, don't eat any more of these watermelons. Let's take the rest to the city to sell."

"What's going on?" Wang asked puzzledly.

"The third brother said this melon is one tael of silver each!"

Oh my God! Wang almost choked to death on the melon in her mouth and coughed for a long time. "Dad, is this true?"

"I guess that's true. The third child is not good at anything except eating, drinking and having fun. In previous years, he loved to go to the city, so he must have seen a lot."

"Oh my god, my girl, don't eat the melons at home, let's sell them!"

Lin Xiaomi rolled her eyes speechlessly, these two stingy guys.

"We have a farm now, and you are both masters and mistresses. What's so strange about eating a watermelon worth one or two taels of silver? Besides, we didn't buy the watermelons, we grew them on the farm ourselves, so we don't have to pay for them. Didn't the owner of the farm say that there are only a few baskets of watermelons left this year, so we have to wait until next year if we want to eat them. Dad, I have never eaten those fruits before, so leave them for us to enjoy slowly."

"But it's so much money." Wang felt bad for the money. "How about I leave half for you? Your father and I won't eat it."

Lin Xiaomi looked at her mother speechlessly.

"Okay, leave it for yourself and let your daughter eat as much as she wants."

He is already a master, so why can't he eat a few watermelons? Besides, his daughter is not the kind of person who eats alone.

"His father, should we send a few to him? The weather is so hot today." Wang's heart arose.

Lin Xiaomi rolled her eyes, "Dad and Mom, I've sent them here these days, and I'll give half to Grandpa. If we send them back to the old house, Grandpa will definitely not want to eat them, so leave them for my uncle. Besides, we eat in the fields every day, and Grandpa and the others are watching us. What will people say? They don't know we sent them home."

"You're right, this melon is too heavy. I'll make you a small wheelbarrow when we get back, and you can push it."

Giving it over will not only benefit my fourth brother, but also his stepmother. Her daughter is very smart!

"Thank you dad!"

"My God, this melon is so sweet!"

Lin Fuliang and Lin Fuqi's eyes sparkled as they ate the food in small bites. Because there were so many people, each person got a piece.

"Dad, this is indeed a fruit that city people eat. It is a heat reliever."

After taking a sip, the cold juice flows down the throat, straight to the stomach, refreshing to the heart.

Lin Dahai held the watermelon in his hands, looking intoxicated. Lin Dachuan ate the watermelon and looked at Song Shi coldly. It was all because of this spendthrift woman that he had hoped to live a life of luxury.

Lin Fuqiang: Is this the life of rich people? That's great! I wish he could be adopted by his uncle!

Old man Lin also had complicated thoughts. Is the boss's life so good?

Song and Yang: Wang is so lucky, not only do they have melons to eat, but they also have a small piece of land. It's just a few acres, and they can finish it in two or three days. It would be great if you could come and help them.

For the first time, the two women felt that having more land was not a good thing.

At noon, Wang went home early to make lunch. She was worried about Xiaomi cooking alone and was afraid that she would get scalded.

One day, Lin Dashan's one acre of land was harvested and moved to the mule cart. Since there was not much, they took it back home to dry.

Even with so many people in the Lin family, they only harvested a little over an acre of land.

Lin Mutu sighed, "I'm back!"

dinner.

Black-faced steamed corn bread, brown rice porridge, a bowl of dried radish, a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, chopped green onions and a small bowl of soybean paste.

When Lin Dahai saw the dishes, he refused to eat, “Mom, I’m tired after a day’s work, and you’re just giving us this to eat?” In the past, even if the family was poor, there would always be meat every day during the autumn harvest.

Old Mrs. Li felt bitter. It was not that she did not want to cook something good for them, but this year the family did not have the income from the eldest wife. The fourth child was going to finish school next month. He said that he and his classmates planned to ask a teacher to prepare a private meal for them, so that they could try their best before the exam. As a mother, how could she not support him, but there was not enough money to spend!

Money was tight at home, so we had to live frugally. The third child was a greedy man, so what was wrong with eating a few less pieces of meat? Why was he making such a fuss?

Old Man Lin also knew about the fourth son's imperial examination and agreed with the old woman's approach. Nothing is more important than changing the door lintel. When the fourth son becomes an official, everything will be fine! How could he ignore the two brothers? The hard days now are all for the good days in the future.

"Shut up, all this food is not enough. If you don't want to eat, get out of here. You are such a troublemaker!"

"Dad, we work so hard and this is all we get to eat?" Lin Dahai was so angry that he jumped up and down. He knew that the fourth child had two eggs to eat every day, so why should they, who worked in the fields, only have steamed bread and pickled vegetables to eat?

Lin Dachuan also echoed: "Yes, Dad, autumn harvest is hard work. If you don't eat something good, your body won't be able to bear it!"

Old Mrs. Li was so angry that her face was shaking. "I fed the eggs to the dogs this morning. No, can I give you my old bones to chew?"

Lin Muchu was really tired, and Lao Er was right. If you don't eat well, you really won't have the energy to work. The few people in the family were not good at working. "Okay, don't we have bacon at home? Kill a chicken in a few days, Lao Er's, and go to the kitchen to fry some eggs."

"Old man..." She saved the meat for the fourth brother to nourish his body.

The old man waved his hand, saying that the fourth child's education was a matter of honor for the family, and the eldest brother couldn't just take advantage of it without having to pay anything. After the autumn harvest, he went to find the eldest brother and asked him to pay for the fourth child's tuition and exam fees. After all, he had money, so it was okay for the eldest brother to help his brothers.

Lin Xiaomi's family has little land, so they finished the work in a few days.

After that, Lin Dashan went to help his father with work. With Lin Dashan, Lin Mutu obviously felt much more relaxed, even though he only helped with work for half a day every day. The eldest brother arranged everything very well, and the harvesting speed was much faster than before. The second brother was capable, but he didn't care about anything else except doing his part.

For the first time, Lin Mutu admitted that the eldest son was more capable than the second and third sons.
