A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

Chapter 9: The Country Girl Comes to the City

After the new house was dried for a few days, they were ready to move in. The main reason was that they lived together, and when they ate together, people felt that they were taking advantage, which was really uncomfortable.

Lin Dashan and Wang packed several large bags and took all the food they got from the division of the family property. They used a cart to carry all the luggage. The people in the old house watched coldly, and no one thought of helping them.

The old man thought that there was not much and it was unnecessary to help in the same village. Others did not even think of helping out. Wang's sister-in-law ignored her since she stopped doing housework after the family split. The same was true for Li.

Wang was used to being bullied, so she felt relieved when no one paid attention to her. Lin Dashan felt heartbroken, because these were his family and brothers.

Lin Xiaomi just felt happy. In the old house, everything she did was wrong. No matter what she did, someone was watching her, which was very depressing. From now on, she could do whatever she wanted, and no one could bother her.

"Dad, nothing is left behind, let's go."

He turned around and looked at the house where he had lived for decades, feeling reluctant to leave. He had thought that he would live here forever. No matter how the family was divided, he would not be left out. After all, the eldest son had 70% of the family property, and he felt guilty about taking this 70%, feeling sorry for his brothers.

Therefore, for a long time, he has done the most work and never complained. Who made him take more? Even if his stepmother was partial to him, he didn't feel bad. His younger brothers did suffer, and it was okay for his stepmother to be partial to him.

However, he never expected that in the end, the one who would be kicked out would be him, and only him!

Looking at the performance of his family during this period, Lin Dashan once again felt that his family was redundant in this family. As expected, the old saying was true. If there is a stepmother, the father is the stepfather. He and Wang had been working like cows and horses for so many years, and the grace of raising them had been repaid. From then on, he only lived for Wang and Xiaomi.

"Xiaomi, go to the village and buy some tofu. Let's light the stove and cook some more vegetables."

"okay!"

Wang looked at the brand new stove and the worn-out kitchen utensils, and felt very happy. From now on, she would be the one in charge here. She no longer had to rely on her mother-in-law to allocate meals for her, and she no longer had to worry about using a little more oil.

The mother-in-law no longer needs to share the food. Xiaomi can eat as much as he wants. In a few days, we will catch a few chicks and they can eat whatever they want after they lay eggs.

She no longer has to live her life at the mercy of others! Just thinking about it, Wang couldn't help but feel happy and full of energy.

"Dad, I'll go with you to chop wood tomorrow. We can chop more wood before the busy farming season comes."

"Okay, how much money do we have left?"

"There are still 9 taels and 9 cents left. There is about 9 tael left from the money for building the house. With these taels, our family will not starve to death." Wang was very satisfied. taels of silver could buy a lot of food!

"During the slack season, I will go out and look for a temporary job so that we can make a living."

"Don't worry, we have this money as a guarantee, as well as the grain from the autumn harvest. We have a small family, so it's enough."

"Ai."

For lunch, there were two dishes and a soup. The family ate with relish and comfort. Wang and Lin Xiaomi couldn't help but sigh again, this family is really good!

"Mom, let's catch some chickens and raise them to eat their eggs."

"It's a bit too late to raise chicks now. There are no chicks to sell. Let's raise two pigs next year!" Thinking about the money from selling pigs, Wang smiled happily. A pig can be sold for several taels of silver. Raising pigs is enough for their family to live on.

Well, there is no egg freedom this year.

"Dad, let me go to the city with you tomorrow!" She had never been to the county town!

Lin Dashan felt a little distressed when he thought about how his daughter had not left the village for so many years. "Okay, let's go together tomorrow morning."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The county town is so far away. Why are you taking care of the child in such a hot day? Can she walk so far?"

Lin Xiaomi: … She raised her little face and looked at Lin Dashan eagerly. She really wanted to go and take a look at the local customs and practices and see if there were any small businesses.

Their family is short of money! Urgently!

"I'll carry you on my back!" Lin Dashan was reluctant to refuse his daughter.

Wang:......

"Dad, tomorrow, if I really can't walk anymore, you can carry me on your back!"

"It's okay. I'll put you in the backpack and carry you tomorrow. Your weight is nothing."

Wang, who regarded her husband as her God, said no more after seeing that Lin Dashan had made the decision.

The next day, before dawn, Lin Xiaomi was still asleep when Lin Dashan wrapped her in a small blanket, carried her in a backpack and carried her away. She woke up when the sun rose, and they were not far from the county town.

"Awake?" Noticing his daughter waking up, Lin Dashan stopped and took out a piece of cake from his arms. "You must be hungry. Eat this first. I'll buy you some meat buns when we get to the city."

Lin Xiaomi took the pancake and lay down in the basket, looking at the city gate in front of her. Well, how should I put it? It didn't look as tall and majestic as in the novels. It was just an ordinary city wall.

The county town close to Linjia Village is Pingyang County. My father told me that this county town is prosperous because Pingjiang is a big river and there is a pier leading to the capital, so ships can dock here.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going in the city. The road is paved with bluestone bricks, and the buildings on both sides of the road are all brick and tile houses, and there are even two- and three-story small buildings.

Lin Xiaomi had never seen the prosperous and bustling scenes of ancient times. She poked her head out of the backpack and looked around curiously.

There are some snack shops and stalls on the street, which are filled with all kinds of food and groceries. There are also some vendors selling candied haws, candies and other snacks, and the vendors are shouting enthusiastically.

The trees on both sides of the street were very dense, with branches and leaves covering the sky. There were all kinds of shops, and before Lin Xiaomi could see what was on sale, she was taken to the butcher shop by Lin Dashan.
