The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

What sins has she committed? She arrested her and Wang Defa before, and now she's helping Wang Defa catch his lover? She didn't have time for that. She grabbed Song Feng and quickly headed deeper into the mountains.

Song Feng was also quite frustrated. He had been careless today. He knew about Cui Hehua's base of operations. He hadn't been deep in the mountains for a while, and he thought the woman would settle down after her marriage, so he was careless. He almost let his wife see it live, defiling her eyes. Really... Wang Defa, can't you control your wife?

Only when they were very, very far away did he solemnly instruct, "Don't go near that place again."

"Ah."

Fang Xiaoning glanced at him. This man wasn't surprised at all. Was this someone she encountered often?

Oh my goodness, Wang Defa's carefully chosen wife... I really want to see his expression when the truth comes out!?

The oak trees deep in the mountains are estimated to be a hundred years old, with thick trunks and several trees connected together, and the ground beneath them is full of ripe acorns.

"Pick it up."

The acorns weren't big, but there were a lot of them; in half an hour, their baskets were full.

"Let's go." Song Feng decided that he would bring an extra basket tomorrow and carry it with him.

This thing is just a hassle to go up and down the mountain.

As they descended the mountain, they bypassed Cui Hehua's path. "Should we go up again?"

Looking at the sky and thinking about the trees laden with fruit, we could still make one more trip. "Okay, let's hurry."

Thinking about the trees full of fruit, they realized they couldn't possibly pick them all by themselves, so they decided to ask a few acquaintances to help them pick them, and they would pay them for their work.

Thinking about her current savings, the shop, winter clothes, quilts, and house construction—once all that's been done, there's hardly anything left. Now she wants to hire people to harvest acorns. She really is a spendthrift woman.

"Brother Feng, if we were to buy these acorns, how much do you think would be a reasonable price per basket?"

"Can't you pick them yourself?"

"There are too many. I remember there are many more oak trees in other parts of the mountains."

"Do I need that much?" My wife is asking how much of that tofu she mentioned. Is that stuff really that good?

“We’ll look at the shop later. Let’s keep the acorns for now; it would be a waste if they rotted in the ground. Making tofu from these takes a lot of time. Once I’ve made them, I’ll let the owner of Yingfulou try them. If he wants them, we can sell these this winter. We can make them at home.”

She thought about it; this was the north, freezing cold, and going to town to run the shop every day was truly a hardship. Her family couldn't afford a mule cart right now.

"Okay, how do you plan to collect it?"

"How about we pay by the basket? How much per basket would be appropriate?"

"If you're quick, you can easily get five or six baskets a day. Can we even eat that many?" He saw it when he was picking them; the tree was covered in them, densely packed. These things grow incredibly fast.

"Let's keep it for now. It's okay if we can't finish it. It won't spoil after drying. We can add a new dish next year: cold acorn tofu."

Okay, if my wife says to accept it, then I'll accept it. Anyway, she earned all the money.

"Four coins for a basket?"

"Sure, there aren't that many trees on the mountain, we don't need to collect them from the whole village." They'll really fight tooth and nail for them then.

"what do you mean?"

"Find a few households that have a good relationship with our family and have helped you before, and ask them if they'd like to do it."

"Row."

He likes his wife's personality, and he always remembers who treats them well.

Back home, Fang Xiaoning told Su to put the acorns in the backyard to dry, and then hurriedly went up the mountain again.

Looking at the two large baskets of acorns, Su wondered, "What does my wife want these for? And so many of them? What good are they? Even a dog wouldn't eat them!"

She couldn't understand her daughter-in-law's thoughts, so she resigned herself to pour all the acorns into a basin, washed them, and then took out a round winnowing basket to spread them out to dry.

Seeing this, Song Feng squatted down and washed with his mother.

By the time they got home the second time, it was completely dark. "From now on, we can only go once when we have time."

"Ah."

According to her, she could find someone to collect the goods and wouldn't have to go herself. But Song Feng couldn't bear to part with it, saying that he could earn 8 coins by carrying two baskets back and forth, so she wouldn't have to go up the mountain tomorrow.

“Actually, you really don’t need to go up the mountain. You can help out there building houses and you’ll get 10 coins for half a day!” Fang Xiaoning explained to him while eating, saying that this man was terrible at math.

"Oh yeah," Song Feng patted his silly head. "After dinner, I'll go find the village chief, Uncle Zhou, Uncle Wang, and the others. Mom, we're planning to buy these acorns. Are there any other families in the village you want to contact?"

"Let's call Aunt Liu over."

"to make!"

"Mom, ask my mother if we should invite Grandpa's family, and also ask Dad if he wants to go."

"Hey, it's Xiao Ning. What do we need this stuff for? It's rotting on the ground and nobody wants it. Now we have to pay to buy it?"
