After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

"Look, these big ones with patterns on them are called apple snails. I can't take them, they're poisonous!"

"And these pointed and thin ones, I don't want those screws either, I only want these kinds, remember that? This is the first time, I've already taken them all, remember to pick out the ones you don't want next time you come."

Lin Fan picked up some typical examples and showed them to the children.

The children nodded, indicating that they had remembered.

Then Lin Fan took the plastic bag from Wang Dahu and started weighing it.

The snails collided with the iron scale, making a clanging sound.

Lin Fan looked down and nodded in satisfaction: "Hey, four pounds and seven ounces, Big Tiger, well done!"

"It's 50 cents a pound, but I don't have much change, so I'll give you two dollars. Here you go!"

Two pieces were actually a bit too few, but since there were still many unusable snails inside, Lin Fan didn't really take advantage of them.

"Two...two pieces..."

When Wang Dahu heard the number, his heart pounded and his hands trembled.

This costs two yuan! You could buy ten bags of those big spicy chips that cost two mao each.

My mother said that it only costs six or seven yuan to buy a pound of meat in the county town. If he could earn more money, he could buy a pound of meat to take home and eat.

"Thank you, Uncle! Thank you, Uncle!"

Wang Dahu received the two yuan with trembling hands, and he was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

The other children behind them couldn't contain their excitement when they saw this.

Xiuying's uncle didn't lie to them; he really paid them, 50 cents per pound!

"Come on, next one!"

Next up is Zhao Xiaogang. He and Wang Dahu are both twelve years old, making them the two oldest among the children.

He picked up two ounces less than Wang Dahu, and Lin Fan also gave him two yuan.

The child naturally had no objection to such a small price difference.

After all, Lin Fan had just said that some of the snails they brought were unusable, and Lin Fan would have to pick them out himself later, which would take time, so losing a penny or two wouldn't matter.

The entire courtyard instantly erupted in excitement.

The children lined up one after another, putting the snails they had painstakingly collected onto the scale. Some weighed three or four pounds, while others weighed one or two pounds.

After each weighing, Lin Fan would pick out the unusable pieces and soak the usable ones in a water tank overnight to expel the sand before sending them over the next day.

After a full hour of this, the children finally finished eating all the snails in their hands.

Actually, there weren't many people, only a dozen or so, but because the children were clumsy and difficult to manage, and we also had to pick out their mistakes, it took a bit more time.

After all this was done, the sky was already tinged with the red glow of the setting sun, and it was about to disappear behind the clouds.

The children were still gathered around Lin Fan, reluctant to leave, each holding up the money they had just earned, their faces beaming with undisguised excitement and joy.

"Uncle Xiuying, do you still want it tomorrow?"

Wang Dahu grinned and approached Lin Fan, asking the question everyone was most concerned about.

Lin Fan looked at the group of children, nodded, and promised, "Yes, every day!"

"I'll let you know in advance when I'm done. Go catch snails for me in the river again tomorrow, still 50 cents a pound!"

"Yay!! I'm going to touch more tomorrow, I want to earn ten yuan!"

"Tch, Xiao Gang, you're dreaming! Ten yuan for twenty pounds? You can't even lift twenty pounds!"

"Who said you can't lift it? I just helped my dad carry water buckets a couple of days ago!"

"You just can't lift it!"

"Hmph, you dare to compete with me? Let's see who touches more tomorrow!"

"Compete!"

……

Amidst the children's noisy chatter, Lin Fan called out as he saw them all off.

After the children left, the yard became much quieter.

Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at the accounts he had just written down, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Dad, brother-in-law, look, it weighs a full thirty-eight pounds, which is more than sixty yuan. Even after deducting the cost for the children, we can still make a net profit of forty or fifty yuan."

Upon hearing this number, the whole family stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

You made forty or fifty yuan in such a short time?

The key point is that they did nothing but wait for others to deliver the goods to their door, and then transported them to the county town to trade when it was time to sell them.

Making so much money in just one round trip makes me uneasy.

"Wow~ These little kids can collect so many snails. If everyone in the village got involved, how much could they earn in a day?"

After a moment's thought, the group was secretly alarmed.

If everyone in the village gets mobilized and all the snails they collect can be sold, they could probably earn a few hundred yuan a day.

This is a number they wouldn't even dare to dream of normally.

You have to understand, sometimes it might take them two or three years to save up this much money, but now they can earn this much net profit in just one day. Who would dream of doing that?

"Third brother, go to the county town tomorrow and buy some cloth to make some new clothes for Qiao'er, Xiuying, and Shuying!"

Lin Desheng looked at Lin Fan and suddenly blurted out a sentence.

Looking at the simply dressed Lin Shuhan and her daughter Xiuying, Liu Chunlian nodded and remarked, "The third son is quite capable!"

"The children have suffered because of us. Now that they've earned money, it's time to improve their lives!"

Even the most frugal and reluctant people become surprisingly generous after seeing such huge profits.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright!"

"Mom and Dad, it's not just these girls. After we sell the first batch of snails and save up the majority of the money, we'll use it to build a new house for my second brother when he comes back and help him get married. The rest of the money will be used to improve the family's life. From now on, we'll eat meat every meal and wear new clothes every day!"

Listening to Lin Fan's bold words.

The family no longer took it as a joke; instead, they all stared at Lin Fan with bright eyes, their eyes filled with expectation and longing.

As for Lin Fan, this is just the beginning for him.

Building a new house is nothing. He plans to move his whole family to the county town and buy houses there!

My mother who died of illness, my family who left their hometown, my wife and daughter who were murdered—none of that will ever happen again!

He wants to change his family's fate, change the tragedy of the past, and redeem himself from living in hell with his own hands!

"Good, third brother, you've really made something of yourself! I'll listen to you from now on!"

"Shuhan, Weihao, you should learn these things from Lao San in the future. If Lao San becomes a big boss someday, he can help you out!"

Lin Desheng was unusually talkative, giving instructions to everyone with a look of satisfaction, his eyes full of doting affection for them.
