After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp
Chapter 11 The First Pot of Gold
As times change, that once happy and harmonious little family, which wasn't particularly wealthy, is completely gone.
After her adoptive father went insane, she survived on the meals given to her by villagers and by scavenging for garbage.
Upon seeing Lin Fan, she didn't recognize him and just kept muttering incoherently, "Shuying, Qiao'er, old woman," and other incoherent words.
Lin Fan almost burst into tears on the spot, unable to face his adoptive father who had fallen to such a state.
I arranged for someone to send my adoptive father to a nursing home, and whenever I had free time, I only dared to visit him from afar.
That's how I honed my skills in slaughtering chickens and livestock.
The hardships he endured, from a poor boy who ran away from a remote mountain village to a famous entrepreneur, are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
This seemingly neat and skillful chicken-killing technique was the result of countless hours of hard work and sweat from Lin Fan.
In the courtyard, seeing Lin Fan carrying a large basket and trading with others, people gradually gathered around.
"Young man, what are you selling?"
"These wild mushrooms are all ones I picked from the mountain. Look! I just picked them yesterday, they're so fresh and juicy!"
"Wow, these mushrooms are great! Big and fresh. How much are they per pound? Give me a pound!"
"Young man, young man, give me a pound too. Did you make the chicken soup just now? Chicken and mushroom stew, huh? You have a good palate, young man. Buy some for my wife to try!"
"I'll have a pound too. I happen to have half a chicken left over from yesterday, so I'll make soup with it today!"
There were quite a few people in the courtyard. When they saw the young woman walking by happily carrying pheasants and mushrooms, they couldn't help but come over and ask the price.
That's just how people are; they like to join in the fun. Sometimes when they see something being sold on the street, even if they don't want to buy it, they'll still go over and take a look if there are a lot of people there.
Therefore, after the first person came to ask about the price, more and more people began to gather around Lin Fan.
The wild mushrooms in the mountains were indeed very good, plump and large, and since Lin Fan only picked the best ones, no one could find fault with them.
Lin Fan picked so many mushrooms not only to nourish Lin Shuying's body, but also with the intention of selling them, so he accepted all offers.
"Everyone, please be patient, take your time, line up, and don't cause trouble for the hospital."
"These mushrooms are all wild mushrooms that I picked myself from the mountains. They're 1.5 yuan per pound, guaranteed to be fresh. In Liangshan County, you probably have to go to the mountain valleys to pick them yourself to get such good mushrooms. You can't buy them anywhere else. If you want to buy some to try, come back if you like them!"
Lin Fan opened his mouth and shouted, his movements were skilled and his expression was natural, making him look like a seasoned businessman, which was quite inconsistent with his youthful and handsome appearance.
These days, if you have good products, know how to promote them, know how to sell them, and know how to attract customers, starting a small business couldn't be easier.
"Hey, young man, you're right. These mushrooms look like they were picked in the mountains. You can't grow them this fresh. Give me two pounds!"
"It's so cold outside, it would be nice to bring some mushrooms home to cook with vegetables. They're a bit pricey, but the quality is really good. Give me a pound to try!"
More and more people gathered around, and soon all the wild mushrooms in Lin Fan's basket were sold out.
Because of the large crowd, some people who hadn't bought anything looked at Lin Fan expectantly and asked, "Young man, are you coming again tomorrow?"
"Yes, yes, young man, wild mushrooms in the mountains are a real treat. If you didn't get any today, could you pick a few more tomorrow? I'll come back then."
Some people even had their eyes on Lin Fan's pheasants: "Young man, I heard you sell pheasants here, could you get me one?"
"Oh my, young man, you sell pheasants? That's a good catch, perfect for stewing with mushrooms!"
Lin Fan responded with a smile: "Everyone, mushrooms will still be available for sale tomorrow, but I can't say for sure about pheasants. After all, you can't catch those every day."
"What a pity... Hey young man, if you had caught one, could you have saved one for me?"
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Lin Fan fanned the corner of his clothes, slightly sweating.
He took out a cloth bag and began to count his harvest for the day. The basket contained a little over thirteen pounds of mushrooms, which sold for one yuan and fifty cents per pound. After rounding down the price, the basket of mushrooms sold for a total of twenty-one yuan.
Including the money from selling the chicken, the total came to 51.8 yuan.
With over fifty yuan in his pocket, Lin Fan couldn't stop smiling.
In his past life, he could easily earn hundreds of thousands or even millions by closing a deal.
But no matter how much money I earned back then, it wouldn't feel as good as earning this fifty-odd yuan now.
When he returned to the ward, he had a smile on his face the whole time.
Liu Chunlian went to get hot water, leaving only Lin Shuying and her daughter Qiao'er in the ward.
As Lin Fan approached, Qiao'er immediately exclaimed in delight.
"father!"
Lin Fan strode forward, picked up Qiao'er, pinched his little nose, and smiled, "Qiao'er, be good. Did you listen to the doctor and take your medicine obediently?"
Qiao'er proudly raised her little head and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, yes, Daddy, Qiao'er is very good and not afraid of hardship!"
Lin Fan gently patted Qiao'er's head, kissed her forehead, and coaxed, "Qiao'er is so good! Our Qiao'er is the best girl. You must listen to the doctor, okay? That way you can get better sooner and go home sooner!"
"Yes, Daddy, Qiao'er will be good!"
After coaxing the little girl, Lin Fan put her on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and then took out the fifty-odd yuan he had just earned from his pocket.
"This is what I earned from selling pheasants and mushrooms. Take it. I have to go home later. I'm leaving now. You, Qiao'er, and Mom should eat well."
“Especially when the doctor said you were unwell, weak, and anemic, it’s all my fault. I haven’t fulfilled my duties as a husband all these years.”
“I know that many things are irreversible, and I only hope that everything I am doing now can make up for what I owe you and your daughter.”
"You wait for me to come back, and I'll work hard to give you and your baby a good life. I'll raise you to be healthy and chubby, okay?"
Lin Fan spoke softly, slowly but sincerely.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and Lin Shuying felt a lump in her throat, tears welling up in her eyes.
Looking at Lin Fan, whose eyes were only for her, she felt a surge of grievances.
Recalling the hardships she had endured over the years, and hearing Lin Fan's promise, she finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Seeing this, Lin Fan sighed softly, gently wiped away Lin Shuying's tears, and said gently, "Alright, don't cry. Qiao'er is still here. If the child sees this, she'll think I'm bullying you."
Qiao'er stared wide-eyed at her crying mother, tugged at Lin Shuying's sleeve, and whispered, "Mommy, be good, Mommy, don't cry..."
