After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Chapter 25: Food can heal everything

Xie Linghe was in a good mood.

After listening to what the bookstore owner said just now, she felt like she had opened the door to a new world.

No wonder they say that all things are inferior except reading.

It’s easy to make money from scholars.

You can earn two hundred coins by copying the Three Character Classic.

She had learned the Three Character Classic when she was a child. Although she only remembered the first few sentences, "When a man is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar. If not taught, his nature will change...", she also knew that it was only about a thousand words long.

Just a little bit.

If you work hard, you can finish it in one night, right?

Not to mention thirty days in a month, even if it's half, that's fifteen books, you can only earn two taels and four cents of silver.

In a year, it is three times what the whole family earns from farming.

Isn't it easy to support yourself? You still need to rely on your family for money!

He is such a selfish bastard who has no understanding of his family's hard work and only cares about his own life.

Xie Linghe made another note of Xie Boyuan and thought to himself, "The college entrance examination is at the end of June. There are still two and a half months left. Two months of hard work in copying books will be enough for him to earn the insurance premium."

The so-called premium is the recommendation fee given to the scholar who ranks first in the academy examination and is awarded the title of stipend student.

In order for a student to take the academy examination, in addition to five candidates guaranteeing each other, he also needed a student on government stipend to guarantee him.

Xie Linghe naturally had no idea about this.

But she carries a walking "encyclopedia" with her, so she can find out the answer just by asking.

The insurance premium ranges from one to five taels of silver, after all, one student in the imperial academy receives five shares of the money.

Closer to home.

Seeing Xie Boyuan returned to the private school obediently, she also felt sleepy. She asked the system to wake her up in half an hour, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour passed quietly.

Xie Linghe suddenly heard a loud ringing sound in her mind, which woke her up and made her sit up.

who am I?

Where am i?

what am i doing?

Xie Linghe's head was buzzing.

At this time, the system said: "Host, half an hour is up."

Xie Linghe: “…”

She covered her head and said helplessly, "System, don't wake me up this way next time. My heart can't take it."

System: "...Okay, host."

……

She got up.

After a while, Xie Zhongji, the other two, and Xie Lingai also got up.

Xie Lingai took the initiative to put on her clothes and go out.

Xie Zhongji and the other two were all lazy and looked like they didn't want to go out.

Xie Linghe couldn't help but frown.

It's only been half a day and your true colors have been revealed?

As far as I can remember, Xie Sanhe and his wife valued Xie Boyuan the most, followed by their three sons.

The couple gritted their teeth and sent Xie Zhongji and the other two to school, but none of them were as talented as Xie Boyuan. In the end, the family could no longer afford it, so they asked them to drop out and fully support Xie Boyuan.

For dropping out of school.

Xie Zhongji and the other two had different reactions.

Xie Zhongji's talent is average, but he is the one who is most unwilling to give up.

Xie Shuze had the worst talent and found studying very painful, so he wanted to drop out of school.

Xie Jijun's talent was above average. Although he was not as good as Xie Boyuan, he was still pretty good. However, he could not bear the hardship of studying and was very happy to drop out of school.

After returning home.

Xie Sanhe and his wife asked their three sons to follow them to the fields.

All three of them are lazy and don't do anything.

Xie Sanhe and his wife couldn't bear to scold him, so they just let him go.

but.

This doesn't work for Xie Linghe.

She urged coldly, "Your daughter has already left, what are you still dawdling about? You can't even compete with a little girl?"

"Go quickly."

"I'm going to check tonight and clear at least one acre of land."

Hear the words.

The three of them looked embarrassed.

However, no one dared to object and they set off with bitter faces.

……

Xie Linghe shook his head.

I thought to myself: They are all troublesome people. It seems that there is a long way to go to reform them.

Enough rest.

It's time for her to do something.

The basket in the morning was too small, so she chose a backpack.

……

As soon as you enter the mountain.

Xie Linghe felt relaxed and naturally forgot about all his worries.

Walking to the peppercorn tree, she put down her backpack and started picking.

When you focus on doing something, time always passes quickly.

Before I knew it, the backpack was full.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, lifted the backpack and shook it, estimating, "It's probably about a hundred pounds."

"Four pounds of wet peppercorns yield one pound of dried peppercorns."

"We can probably produce about 25 kilograms here, which is more than enough to last us a year."

Downhill.

On the way she saw a cluster of ripe raspberries.

I picked a few broad leaves to make a plate and took a full handful.

At least one kilogram.

Leave with satisfaction.

When she got home, she first put the covered plate on the table, then put down the backpack, moved it to the corner of the main room, and covered it with a dustpan.

There is not much sunshine today, so it is not suitable for drying peppercorns.

"Xiao Xi, what time is it?"

"Replying to the host, it is now 4:30 in the afternoon."

Xie Linghe muttered to himself, "I remember entering the mountain at two o'clock. It seems we haven't been picking fruits for long."

Done.

She suddenly had an idea and asked, "Xiao Xi, do you know what the weather will be like tomorrow?"

"According to calculations, tomorrow will be a sunny day."

Xie Linghe was both surprised and delighted: "You actually figured it out?! System, do you have any surprises that I don't know about?"

The system is silent.

She didn't delve into it.

At the same time, she did not doubt the truthfulness of the system's words. There was no need to lie.

……

Rested for half an hour.

She started to cook dinner.

The menu was decided in the morning so it was pretty easy.

Half past six.

The chive pancakes and fried eggs with ground mushrooms are ready.

After finishing the chicken mushroom soup at noon, she simply cooked some spinach soup.

Washed my hands.

Close the door and go into the field.

From a distance, I could see four figures bending over to work. Xie Lingai was the smallest, but she was the one working the hardest. The other three were a bit lazy.

See her approaching.

The three Xie Zhongji brothers subconsciously sped up.

Xie Linghe did not scold them.

It's better to relax and take it easy, don't push people too far.

She quietly watched them finish working on the one-acre field and said softly, "We'll do it tomorrow."

"The meal is ready, let's go back and eat."

When Xie Lingai heard her voice, she looked up in surprise and ran over.

"Miss."

Xie Linghe patted her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Done.

He looked at Xie Zhongji and the other two and said, "You've worked hard too."

Hear the words.
