A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich

"Beef, this is beef! The boss brought me so much to nourish my body. Put it away for a while and we will eat it slowly."

It was actually beef. How could my stepson actually buy beef? How much did it cost?

He had money to buy beef, but at the end of the year, he didn't use a penny of his pension to honor them. He was so stingy, and I don't know why the old man was so happy.

Lin Dashan didn't stay long. He said a few words to his father to take care of himself and left. Before leaving, no one poured him a cup of hot tea.

Finally, it was Uncle Lin’s house, which was close to my father’s house.

"Second uncle."

Uncle Lin and his wife were sweeping the snow in the yard with brooms, and several children were playing in the snow around the wall.

"Why are you sweeping the snow? It's so cold, be careful not to catch a cold." Lin Dashan felt a little distressed when he saw the two old men sweeping the snow tremblingly.

"Oh, Dashan, hurry up and sit inside. Old woman, boil some water."

"Ai."

"These old arms and legs will get rusty if they don't move. Why did you come at this time?" Lin Mujin asked.

"Isn't it Chinese New Year? I'm here to give you a holiday gift!"

The old man was touched and said, "That's thoughtful, that's thoughtful!"

The second aunt came in with brown sugar water.

"Second Aunt, I'll be leaving in a minute, don't bother, the family is still busy!"

Lin Dashan took the brown sugar water and took a sip.

"Drink a bowl to warm yourself up. Is your father gone?"

"I went there. Dad didn't look well. I asked him to see a doctor, and he said he was fine."

"Alas." Lin Mujin frowned, "Your father has been making a lot of trouble recently."

Lin Dashan looked at his second uncle in confusion.

Seeing that he really didn't know, the old man said, "I heard that the fourth son's wife doesn't do housework, and your second and third brothers' wives don't allow it, so there's chaos at home every day. A few days ago, the fourth son and his wife had a big fight, and your father got sick from being so angry."

A big quarrel? Is his fourth brother a quarrelsome person?

"Didn't your father tell you about this?"

Lin Dashan shook his head.

Lin Mujin sighed, "Now he is still trying to cover up for the fourth brother. What a foolish old man."

Lin Dashan's curiosity was successfully aroused by his second uncle.

"Every time Yang came back to the village after selling goods, she would tell everyone how lazy Dahe's wife was and how terrible the food she cooked was. It was said that the food she cooked was not cooked well, and three out of ten dishes she washed were broken. She would pick up the clothes after washing them, as if they were not washed. She fed the pigs all day and the pigs were crying with hunger. She fed the cows once and even fed them so much that they had diarrhea, so she called a doctor... Dahe's wife heard the news, and she had a big fight with Dahai's wife. I don't know what they said later, but the couple said that everyone in the family got money every day, but they didn't have a penny. Dahe even accused your parents of being partial and not dividing the family, so why did they get a share every day, but he didn't."

"Dashan, you didn't see. Li Cuihua was very fierce. She sat on the ground and swore and yelled, saying that your parents were partial to each other. Many people in the village went to watch the fun. Your father was completely embarrassed." The second aunt added.

Lin Dashan smacked his lips and said, "No, the fourth brother and his wife went out to sell rice cakes? Didn't my parents give them money?"

"What are you selling? Yang said that the two of them would just close the door when they have nothing to do. I don't know what they are doing inside. How can they go to the city to sell goods if they don't eat or go out?"

"How can I pay them if I haven't sold any goods?" Lin Dashan was puzzled.

"That's not the truth! Do you know what Dahe said? He said that he was a scholar, how could he sell goods, something that only lowly merchants would do. At that time, many people in the village were angry and wanted to beat him up, but your second brother stopped them. He is noble, he is a scholar, isn't he supported by the money his brother made from selling goods? This man has no conscience!"

Lin Dashan:......

"Dad didn't care?"

"Why didn't I take care of it? He wouldn't listen. He insisted that since the family hadn't been divided, everyone should be treated equally. Before, he couldn't say anything because he wasn't married. Now that he's married, he has to support his wife, so the share must be divided into three parts. His wife has been helping out and stirring up trouble. If everyone wasn't there, your second and third brothers would have wanted to fight."

"Did your parents give it to you?"

"How could that be possible? In the end, it was only after your father got mad that they calmed down. I went to see your father yesterday, and he said that the fourth child was still making trouble. Your father asked his wife to sell cakes and he would give her a share of the profits, but he refused, saying that he was a man supporting the family, so how could he let his woman go out and show her face? If anyone knew about it, he would not be able to live like a man."

Second Aunt immediately followed up: "What did he say? Does that mean that those of us who let our daughters-in-law go out to sell cakes should never go out to work as human beings again?"

Lin Dashan:......

He was still dizzy until he returned to Zhuangzi. Lao Si, why did it become like this?

Wang fried food for two days, and then started steaming buns and making dumplings. The main dishes also had to be prepared. During the Chinese New Year, no knife was allowed until the fifth day of the first lunar month. It would be fine to cook now and heat it up when the time came.

After being busy for a few days, we started making dumplings.

Xiaomi's family decided to make dumplings themselves, and sent the kitchen staff back to their own business. There were dumplings stuffed with leeks and meat, Chinese cabbage and meat, leeks and eggs, radish and meat, and mutton and cabbage.

A large pot of each kind of food was prepared, and Xiaomi's hands were shaking for three days before he finished making the dumplings needed by the whole family. All the food was placed in the third courtyard, which was large and uninhabited.

On the 26th, after finishing all her work, Wang dismissed the servants and asked them to go home and take care of their own affairs. This included Guan, Daya and Sanya, who served her personally and all of them were given New Year's leave.

In addition to the pork and fish distributed a few days ago, each family in the village also received two bags of snacks, two kilograms of sugar and a red envelope of 150 wen.

Guan Zhuangtou gave another tael of silver, 500 coins to Guan, and 300 coins each to the kitchen helper and Xiaomi's maid.

After the New Year's goods were distributed and the bonuses were given out, and the servants kowtowed to express their gratitude, everyone happily took their gifts and went home to celebrate the New Year.

The master said that except when there are guests to help, he should stay at home all the time and only come back to work after the tenth day of the first lunar month.

"Tomorrow I will take you and your mother to the city to buy New Year's goods! Then I will let the doctor check your mother."

"Great!" The city was already very lively during Laba Festival last time, and now that the Little New Year has passed, there must be even more people.

Wang didn't want to go out at first, as she was afraid of being bumped into by the crowd, but the head of the household said that they wanted to see a doctor, so she didn't refuse.

I found the coachman, Lao Lu, and asked him to work half a day. Lao Lu quickly agreed. What's the big deal? It's just a matter of catching a ride.

"Think about what else you need to buy, and buy it all when you go tomorrow. Don't leave anything behind."

"Ai!"

Firecrackers, snacks, melon seeds, peanuts, candy, red paper for couplets, and some glutinous rice to make glutinous rice cakes, but there seemed to be nothing else.

As for Lin Dashan, he would buy some gold ingots and paper money to visit the grave on the third day of the New Year.
