The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

The twelve taels of silver were considered an unexpected profit.

After getting the money, Xiaoman said he wanted to buy meat, and Li Taohua bought it without blinking.

Xiaoman said he wanted to buy some oil. Li Taohua blinked painfully and silently took out the money to buy it.

The painful look on his face as he took out the money made Lin Xiaoman laugh.

Li Taohua couldn't help but nag: "Child, we can't always rent the Li family's house, right? Building a house will cost at least six or seven taels. And in previous winters, you only had one winter coat, and when your clothes got wet, you could only sleep on the bed and cover yourself with a quilt. This year, I have to make a cotton coat for each of you, cotton is precious."

"It looks like a lot of money, but it's actually not enough! You and Jingzhe are both grown up, and you'll have to do things in a few years, and it'll cost money!"

Lin Xiaoman didn't want to discourage Li Taohua. She knew that people who were used to saving money would be frugal even if they had money.

Habits cannot be changed in a short period of time or in a day or two.

"Mother, money is not saved, it is earned. Look, before we divided the family, how much money could we save throughout the year?" Lin Xiaoman asked back.

“Spending money gives you more motivation to earn more.”

Li Taohua was speechless after hearing what Lin Xiaoman said.

My third brother's annual salary was two taels of silver, and his daily food and clothing expenses amounted to one tael of silver. The ten or so people in the Lin family could only save this much by reducing their clothing and food.

"Xiao Man, you are smart. Do you think there is anyone in Shanglin Village who can make money by selling a jelly recipe like you?"

When saying this, Li Taohua's eyes were filled with pride.

Lin Dajiang smiled, "Taohua, don't tell me, the sunset was so beautiful when Xiaoman was born. It was also a full moon, but Xiaoman was white and plump, while Jingzhe was a black monkey. Everyone said that Xiaoman was lucky and blessed."

"Father, how can you be so good at praising and insulting?" Lin Jingzhe heard from Lin Dajiang that he was a black monkey when he was a child, and immediately made a bitter face, "Am I your biological child?"

Lin Dajiang said with a straight face, "Nonsense."

At the same time, he knocked on Lin Jingzhe's head, "Am I stupid or dumb, your father? Feeding someone else's child?"

Lin Guyu joined in the fun, "Sister is smart and brother is stupid."

Lin Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

She seems to have always had good luck.

When I was a blogger, short videos were booming and I made a lot of money by being a food blogger.

It’s the matter of traveling through a book. It might be the Waterloo of her life.

-

Taking advantage of her parents coming to the town, Lin Xiaoman, relying on the fact that the money was earned by her, "instructed" her parents to go shopping.

Meat, rapeseed oil, salt, dried chili peppers...

The cloth we bought last time was used to make clothes for the four little ones; Dad and Mom didn’t make any for themselves.

Lin Xiaoman went to the cloth shop and bought another piece of cloth.

Originally, Lin Xiaoman picked out a piece of blue cloth, but Li Taohua disagreed, thinking that blue cloth was not resistant to getting dirty, so she bought a black piece instead.

After walking around for more than an hour, I spent five hundred coins in one go.

Li Taohua cried out in pain.

There's no way, the money was earned by Xiaoman.

Besides feeling heartbroken, they couldn't help feeling disappointed that the two adults were not as good at making money as Xiaoman.

If it weren’t for Xiaoman, it would be a question whether their family could have enough to eat.

Before leaving the town, Li Taohua bought six meat buns, and even the youngest Bei Lidong in the backpack got one.

"Eat slowly, Lidong."

Li Taohua stuffed a meat bun into Lidong's pocket. Lidong twisted his body excitedly, as if he knew how delicious the bun was.

Lin Guyu was a smart kid. He put his hands on the bottom of the backpack and stared at the buns in Lidong's hand. "Brother, you are the happiest in our family. You can eat meat buns at such a young age. When you are as old as me, you will definitely be able to eat dozens of meat buns."

Lin Xiaoman burst out laughing.

"Guyu, you can't compare to me. You envy Lidong, but I envy you!"

Lin Guyu giggled, "Sister, yes, I am the second youngest in our family."

She counted on her fingers and said, "My older brothers and sisters didn't eat meat buns until they were twelve years old. My father and mother didn't eat meat buns until they were this old. I was only six years old when I started eating."

Lin Xiaoman finished the bun in four or five bites, then smiled and pinched Lin Guyu's arm.

All I pinched were bones.

She touched her own again. Hey, it wasn't much better than Guyu's.

Same skin and bones.

It seems that the frailty accumulated over the years cannot be cured so quickly.

When they were almost at the village entrance, Lin Dajiang transferred the cloth, salt, a small pot of rapeseed oil and dried chilies in his backpack to Lin Jingzhe's backpack.

Lin Xiaoman sprinkled a few handfuls of wild grass on Lin Jingzhe's backpack.

Lin Jingzhe lagged behind them by a few steps, and dodged to take another fork in the road.

That fork leads to the foot of the mountain.

Lin Xiaoman felt that Lin Dajiang's overly cautious attitude made him both cunning and shrewd.

It coincides with her plan to stay at home for a while.

Among the family's backpacks, only Lin Dajiang's backpack had a piece of meat at the bottom.

To be on the safe side, Lin Xiaoman covered the meat with most of the weeds in the bamboo basket.

As soon as they entered the village, they ran into Wang Chunxiu arguing with her family members.

"Big brother and sister-in-law."

Wang Chunxiu was worrying about how to get rid of her mother's pull, and when she saw Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua, she was overjoyed and immediately called out to them.

Sure enough, the moment Li Taohua looked over, Wang Chunxiu's mother let go of her hand.

Before anyone came close, Chunxiu's mother lowered her voice and said, "Chunxiu, do you remember what I said? Your nephews are crying out in hunger, remember to send money over tomorrow. If you don't come, I'll come find you."

After saying this, he didn't even wait to greet anyone. He just glared at Wang Chunxiu and left.

"Second brother's wife?" Li Taohua knew that Wang Chunxiu's parents favored boys over girls, and before she married her second brother, she did all the hard and tiring work at home.

But even so, I heard that she still used money to subsidize her parents' family.

A few wild onions today, two eggs tomorrow.

It is estimated that half of the private money earned by the second wife after the family division was taken by Wang Chunxiu to her parents' home.

Li Taohua shook her head in her heart.

With her temper, won't she be controlled by her family?

"Brother and sister-in-law, what are you doing in town? It's not market day."

After Wang Chunxiu finished speaking, she looked at the backpacks of the people.

There was a baby in Li Taohua's backpack, and the things they bought should be hidden in Lin Dajiang or Lin Xiaoman's hands.

Lin Dajiang is the eldest brother, so it’s not right for her, as his sister-in-law, to look at him carelessly. But Xiaoman is the younger generation, so it doesn’t matter.

"Xiao Man, you have skinny arms and legs. Aren't you tired of carrying such a big bamboo basket?"

Wang Chunxiu walked forward with a smile on her face.

Lin Xiaoman moved the basket away with a vigilant look on her face, "Second Aunt, the basket is full of weeds, I can carry it."

Lin Xiaoman's panicked expression further confirmed what Wang Chunxiu was thinking.

The things that the eldest wife bought should be in Xiaoman’s bamboo basket.

This family is so smart. Who would have thought that such important things would be in the hands of a child?

The more Lin Xiaoman didn't let her see, the more convinced she became.

There must be something good in the basket.

Wang Chunxiu is an adult after all, and her strength is much greater than Lin Xiaoman's.

"Why are you being so polite to your second aunt, kid?"

As he said this, he snatched the bamboo basket.

"Sister-in-law!" Li Taohua exclaimed at the right time, "The basket is not heavy, let Xiaoman hold it."

Lin Xiaoman immediately burst into tears when she heard this, "Second Aunt."

He said he was going to grab it.

Wang Chunxiu pretended to weigh the basket and found that it was not very heavy.

The moment Lin Xiaoman grabbed the basket, she reached out and dug around a few times but couldn't find anything.

"Second Aunt, what are you touching?" Lin Xiaoman cried, "Second Aunt, if you want to eat wild vegetables, you can go to the town. There are plenty of them on the road. You are not going to steal my basket, are you?"

Wang Chunxiu didn't touch anything and her niece put the shit basin on her. She immediately smiled embarrassedly and returned the basket to Lin Xiaoman.

"How can that be possible! Kid, aren't you worried that you'll get tired carrying the things you bought?"

"Sister-in-law, I want to buy some food. Today in town, Xiaoman and Guyu couldn't walk after seeing the meat buns! Sister-in-law, do you have copper coins at home? Why don't you lend me some so that I can buy some buns for your nephews and nieces next time I go to town. They have never eaten white flour since they were young!"

When it comes to money, Wang Chunxiu immediately stops pretending.

"Sister-in-law is such a joke. We just separated, where did the money come from?"

After saying this, he left in a hurry as if escaping.

She was afraid that Li Taohua would shamelessly ask her to borrow money again.

As soon as Wang Chunxiu left, Lin Xiaoman and Li Taohua looked at each other for a moment.

The next moment, a cunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
