A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"mother!"

A woman in her twenties, as soon as she got off the mule cart, called Li "mother" enthusiastically.

"Hua'er, why are you back at this time?" When Mrs. Li saw the person coming, her old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

Lin Xiaohua, the only daughter of the Lin family, was wearing a pink fine cotton jacket and cotton trousers, with a silver hairpin on her head. It was obvious that she was living a very good life.

"I miss you guys! Where's Dad?"

He handed the two bags of snacks to Li.

"I came to visit. Why did you bring things again? I have them at home. Don't waste money next time."

"This is my gift. Why are you going out to visit people in such a cold weather?" Isn't this asking for trouble? Everyone stays on the kang during the winter.

"You know him. He can't stay at home. He just likes to chat with those old guys."

Lin Xiaohua nodded. Her father was like that. He liked to be lively.

"Where is my son-in-law? Why hasn't the baby come yet?" Li wondered when she saw that no one else got off the mule cart.

"He has to look after the shop, and the child is still in school, so I came here by myself."

Well, we are all busy and can't spare time, so it's OK if my daughter comes. He happily pulled her into the house.

"Song, Song! Your sister-in-law is here! Go kill a chicken quickly and cook for lunch." Li shouted at the top of her voice.

"Ai!"

Hearing the noise, they both hurried out of the house.

Knowing that there would be meat for lunch, Yang was very happy and followed Song to help.

"Let's go to the kang and chat. It's warm there." Mrs. Li held her daughter's hand with a loving face.

"eat dessert."

He took out a bag of rice cakes given by Lin Dashan and a bag of his own rice cakes.

"Mom, keep this for us to sell at home, why are you taking it out!" As he said this, his hand had already reached out to grab it.

"Eat it yourself. There's enough at home!" Mrs. Li pushed the food in front of her again.

Lin Xiaohua took a big piece without hesitation, took a bite, and her mouth was filled with fragrance.

"Mom, my brother's rice cake is so delicious! Who in the city doesn't know about rice cake? Just relying on this snack, my brother can get rich."

"He has become rich even without this. Your elder brother is no longer the same as before." When Li mentioned her stepson, she felt unhappy. The money flowed like water, but not even a little bit flowed into her pocket. She felt heartache and eyes hurt.

"How come you have time to come back today? Isn't the shop busy?"

"What are you busy with? Business has been getting harder and harder in recent years. You know that several new grocery stores have opened in the city. I, your daughter, am starving!"

"How could it go bad? Your shop has been open for so many years." Li became anxious when she heard that her daughter's business was not doing well.

"Every shop has those things, and the prices are very low. How can it be easy to make money?" Lin Xiaohua kept complaining to her mother.

"What should we do?" Li said worriedly.

Lin Xiaohua blinked, "Mom, there's something called Youpi that's very popular in the city recently. My boss went to ask around and someone saw that the product was supplied by my eldest brother."

Her husband watched for many days and finally found out that the delivery person was actually her eldest brother Zhuangzi's servant. The two of them thought about whether they could make some money.

Oily skin? What is that?

Li was confused. She stayed in the village every day and had no idea what was popular outside.

"Your eldest brother did this?"

"You don't know?" Lin Xiaohua looked at her mother in disbelief. Was she kidding? Her mother didn't know anything about such a big thing? How could this be?

"How would I know? You know I'm his stepmother, and he doesn't treat me well, so how could he tell me this?"

Lin Xiaohua: ...

You used to have a tight control over that couple.

"Mom, Big Brother and you are not close, why don't you go to his place more often? After a long time, won't you become close to him?"

After hearing this, Li felt very upset. She would rather die than try to please her stepson.

She was not stupid and she knew the purpose of her daughter's return home.

"You want to sell oil skin?"

"Mom, if I want to make it myself, do you think my brother will give me the recipe?"

Her daughter is really bold. There are so many prescriptions that even the old man can't find them all.

"Don't even think about it. Your elder brother won't give it to you." Li refused.

"Why? I am also the eldest brother's biological sister. My husband's family will ensure that our things are not passed on to others."

“No matter how much you say, it’s useless. He’s very tight on money right now. No matter what anyone says, it’s useless.

If you don’t give it to me, then just steal it!

"Dad, can you please go to the farm more often?"

"I advise you not to have such an idea. Your eldest brother is guarding against us like a thief. Let alone secretly watching, even touching the edge is impossible."

Li was also upset, she also wanted to get the prescription and give it to her sons. But the question was, could she get it just because she wanted it?

Thinking of Lin Dashan's usual appearance, Lin Xiaohua was a little skeptical.

"How could that be? My eldest brother used to take care of the family and treated us well. Now that he is better, if we ask him to help us, he will definitely not refuse."

"That was in the past. Things are different after the separation. Look, where does he live now? Where do we live? There are so many servants in the farm. Did he send one to serve me and your father? Dachuan and Dahai are still selling rice cakes with the villagers, and the price they offer is not even a penny cheaper."

"How could you charge the same price as the ones in the village?" Lin Xiaohua couldn't help but yell. She had always thought that her second and third brothers sold snacks at lower prices than those in the village, and was planning to buy some and try to sell them in the shop.

She really couldn't imagine that her elder brother, who was honest and easy to bully, would become so snobbish and treacherous.

Mother must have misunderstood. Big brother would never change like that.

"Of course not, so I advise you to stop thinking about those irrelevant things. Your father and I are not good at that."

Li was sure that her stepson would not agree. So she didn't need to ask for it, and she wouldn't be disliked.

Lin Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said, "What about the sister-in-law? Doesn't she care about her?" It would be easy for her mother to control Wang.

"Don't mention it. After the separation, the family's arrogance has risen. That Wang, now ignores me when she sees me. Xiaomi is even more powerful. She is always nagging and never forgiving."

Lin Xiaohua stared at her mother blankly. Was the family her mother was talking about still the big brother's family she knew? She couldn't imagine what big brother's family looked like now.

"Brother, is this true?"

"If you don't believe me, ask your father later. You don't know how stingy he is. The fourth child has mentioned to him several times that he wanted to live with him to study, which was just a matter of making a living, but he always refused. Now he is also very good at talking, and your father has been fooled by him several times."

Lin Xiaohua smacked her lips. According to what her mother said, she could forget about the recipe for oily skin.

"Mom, I can always get the goods from my eldest brother. It doesn't matter who he sells to. Let him sell the goods in the grocery store. And the rice cakes can also be sold in our store."

"Isn't your shop a groceries shop?"

"Groceries sell everything!"

Li choked.

"I can't guarantee that this will work. Ask him to come over tomorrow and talk to him yourself."

"Mom, I can't stay until tomorrow, how about you help me to talk about it! My eldest brother has so much property now, but he doesn't have a son. What do you think he is thinking now?"

"What else can I think of? If you want to have a son, you can at least adopt one." Li was disdainful in her heart. What if he was capable and rich? He still had no descendants.

"Big brother is still young, and Wang gave birth to Xiaomi. It's definitely not Big brother's fault that he can't have a baby."

"The doctor said that Mrs. Li is in poor health and it will be difficult for her to have children. The second and third sons both want to adopt their sons to him. I am also worried and don't know which one to choose when the time comes."

She completely forgot what Lin Dashan said about not adopting her grandson.
