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

"read?"

Hearing those two words, Lin Shuying felt somewhat dazed.

She was educated, but only completed primary school before dropping out due to poverty.

Compared to my older sister who has never attended school, I am much better off.

She looked down at her somewhat rough hands, smiled, and shook her head, saying, "You're joking again. I'm so old, why would I still be reading books?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan gently shook his head and said, "Shuying, have you ever thought that one day the businesses I'm doing will grow bigger and bigger?"

"My energy is ultimately limited. As my business grows, I will have to come into contact with more and more people and do more and more things every day. I will definitely need someone to help me."

"But my parents can't read, they struggle even with the simplest calculations, and so can my older sister. So, who can I ask for help in this family?"

Lin Shuying was stunned, staring blankly at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stood up and looked at Lin Shuying with a serious expression, saying, "I want you to study because you are the only person in this family I trust the most. No matter if I have a thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, or more, I will feel at ease as long as I hand them over to you."

"Shuying, for my sake, for the sake of this family, and even more so for your own sake, if there's a chance, I'll send you to school, okay?"

Lin Shuying looked at Lin Fan, who was looking at her expectantly.

There seemed to be a mysterious power in his bright eyes, which made Lin Shuying subconsciously choose to believe him.

So Lin Shuying didn't ask any more questions. She looked at Lin Fan and slowly nodded, her gaze equally firm and full of expectation.

"it is good!"

The two smiled at each other, feeling that their hearts had grown even closer.

Then Lin Fan turned to look at Lin Shuying's legs and said softly, "Shuying, let me massage you!"

"Hmm~"

……

In the afternoon, after dinner.

The family gathered together to discuss what clothes they would make from the fabric Lin Fan had bought.

Qiao'er and Xiuying made a couple more outfits. Their parents, being quite frugal, said they would just wear their old clothes and let Lin Fan and the others look nicer. Oh, and they shouldn't forget their second brother either; they should make a few outfits for their second sister and second brother as well.

The family gathered together and chatted away.

As it was getting late, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door.

Then he turned his head and instinctively raised his voice, shouting, "Who is it?"

At the doorway, a cautious voice called out, "Old Lin, it's me, Old Wu!"

"Doesn't your family collect snails? I'm here to deliver snails!"

Upon hearing this, the whole family instinctively looked at Lin Fan, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

When they got home in the afternoon, they were going to discuss going to the fields to collect snails, but Lin Fan told them they didn't need to go, as someone would bring the snails over today.

So the whole family stayed home all afternoon, waiting for the snails to come, but even after dinner, no one had come.

Zhang Weihua, Lin Desheng, and others had a general idea of ​​what was going on. A pound of snails could sell for 1.7 yuan. If they didn't go and collect them for an afternoon, they wouldn't have any to sell the next day, which would be a huge loss.

As a result, just when they thought no one would come today, Old Wu actually showed up at their door.

"I'll open the door."

Zhang Weihai jumped up, strode to the door, and unlocked it.

However, he was stunned the next moment, because standing outside the door were not only Old Wu, but also seven or eight familiar faces from the village.

They stood in front of their homes, each carrying a large basket on their back and a large basin in their hands, looking both nervous and expectant.

"Ahem, son-in-law of the Lin family, is your brother-in-law Lin Fan at home?"

Zhang Weihao looked at everyone, nodded subconsciously, and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes, come in."

He then stepped aside, gesturing for everyone to come in.

A group of people filed in, and the snails in the container rustled as they moved.

"Old Lin, where's your third son? Didn't you say you were going to collect snails? We brought the snails with us!"

Upon entering the courtyard, Old Wu approached Lin Desheng with a fawning smile and began to speak.

Lin Desheng snorted at Old Wu, ignored him, took out a pipe from his pocket, tapped it in his hand, and started puffing away.

Seeing this, Lin Shuhan giggled and said, "Uncle Wu, yesterday my dad went door to door looking for you, asking you to collect snails to sell to my third son, but you all refused."

"My dad said that the Lin family has gone mad and is fooling the villagers. Uncle Wu, why did you suddenly believe it today?"

Old Wu and the other villagers behind him blushed with embarrassment upon hearing this.

Old Wu chuckled and looked at Lin Desheng, saying, "Oh, Old Lin, we were senile yesterday and mistook you for swindlers."

“Your third son is quite capable. Look, we even brought the snails. Just let him come out!”

"How about I sell you these snails for four cents a pound? Is that alright? Consider it my apology as an apology from me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Desheng's expression softened somewhat.

He snorted with a dark face and said, "Third brother went in to get the account book and scale. You guys put the snails down first. The person will be here soon."

"Weihao, come on, go inside and move the vat out."

"Okay, Dad!"

The courtyard suddenly became noisy.

"I'll go, I'll go! That's such a big vat, it won't be easy to lift it out. I'll go help."

"I'm going too, I'm going too!"

And just as everyone was talking...

Outside the door, villagers continued to arrive with various containers and snails, and soon the courtyard was crowded with people, making it difficult to find a place to stand.

Before long, Lin Fan came out with the account book and scale.

Looking at the people in the courtyard, Lin Fan's smile was very bright.

"Fellow villagers, you've worked hard. There are too many of you, so I won't be able to entertain you properly. Please don't blame us, the Lin family, for being ungrateful."

"It's getting late, so let's not waste any more time and weigh them for you. The price is 50 cents per pound, who wants to go first?"

Aunt Wang, carrying a large winnowing basket and with a large basket beside her, quickly squeezed in front of Lin Fan and exclaimed, "Third son of the Lin family, me, me, me! I'll go first! Yesterday I was the first person to sell snails to you in Da Hu, and I have to be the first one today too!"

Lin Fan looked at Aunt Wang and said with a smile, "Okay, then Aunt Wang will go first. Everyone, lend a hand and make some room!"

Lin Fan took a large basket from home, put all of Aunt Wang's snails into it, and then placed it on the scale.
