Reborn 1990: Make a fortune and become well-off

Chapter 46 Living off the Land



Song Yi smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I was discussing with Meihui about planting the land. It's already time to sow. If we don't sow, this year will be wasted again."

The room was dark, Lin Meihui went over and turned on the light, and the room became brighter. The disappointment on Dachun's face was very obvious. Lin Meihui glanced at Song Yi, and both of them understood Dachun's intention.

"Aren't you all already in business? I heard from Widow Liu that my sister-in-law has made a lot of money selling preserved fruits. Otherwise, how would you have been able to get your [-] yuan gift..."

Dachun's words were a long way around, but Lin Meihui heard it. Rural people are like this. When they see other people's families being rich, they become envious and jealous, and they inevitably have to make plans.

"Dachun, just make some small money. A can of preserved fruit can only make one yuan after the cost. It is better than sitting at home and sitting idle. How can this be called making money?"

"That's better than farming. Farming is hard work for a year, but you can only earn a few hundred yuan at the end of the year." Dachun sighed, looking worried about the poor harvest.

Song Yi asked Dachun directly, "Then what does your father mean?"

Dachun stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "My father means to plow your ten acres of land. You won't plant it anyway. I can just give you some food or money in the fall."

"How much?" Lin Meihui knew that Song Yi would be embarrassed to ask, so she asked first.

In the countryside, brothers always settle accounts, and Song Yi and Dachun are still related to each other. If these things are not handled well, it is easy for the two families to become enemies.

Lin Meihui didn't want to care about these things, but she had to care about them. They also had to live their lives.

When Dachun heard Lin Meihui ask about money, he looked at her with some dissatisfaction, "My dad said, I will give you ten yuan for one acre of land. Ten acres is one hundred yuan. This is not a small amount. We have worked hard for half a day." Just make four to five hundred."

"Dachun, go back and tell your dad that Song Yi and I have no other way of living and have to farm...these lands cannot be leased out." Lin Meihui refused directly.

She finally heard it, and the Dachun family was very smart in their calculations.

The Dachun family has many brothers, so they don't have to worry about hard work, but they have no land. At first, the village was allocated two and a half acres of land to each person. Although Song Yi is now alone, the land owned by his parents and grandmother is now owned by He is of his own race.

Ten acres of land cultivated by one person seems to be a lot. This is the purpose of Dachun coming here today.

Dachun's family had an overabundance of children, and two of them did not receive a share of land. However, they had many mouths to eat, which made their family's life very tight.

If her family had a better life, Lin Meihui would be willing to help Dachun, but now she and Song Yi are both broke, and these lands are their last protection.

When Dachun heard that Lin Meihui had made the decision, his face turned red from suppressing it. He stood up and asked blankly, "Song Yi, who is the decision maker in this family, you or my sister-in-law? Does it count whether you decide whether the land will be taken care of or not?" "

Song Yi heard that Dachun was anxious and was about to explain.

Lin Meihui took over the conversation directly, "Dachun, I am in charge of this family. You can go to other people's houses and ask to see whose land is willing to be given to you for planting. It's getting late, so go home quickly."

Dachun didn't reach the ground and left angrily.

As soon as he left, Song Yi couldn't help but ask Lin Meihui, "We can't give him the whole deal. We can just give him five acres of land. Anyway, we can't grow anything on that land."

Lin Meihui looked at Song Yi and knew that he was soft-hearted, "Brother Song Yi, there are some things that you have to give in to, so why not refuse directly. Now that we can't sell preserved fruits, we only rely on the harvests in the fields for a year, so we have to consider our own lives first."

"But that place..."

"No matter how bad the land is, if we take good care of it, it will always grow something. If you give it to someone else and they don't take good care of it, and the land becomes thinner in a few years, then everything will grow." Won’t come out.”

Lin Meihui made a decision and did not want to change it at will. Knowing that Song Yi still sympathized with the Dachun family, Lin Meihui said nothing more.

When the broth was ready, Lin Meihui served a bowl to Song Yi and a large bowl to Uncle Yang's family. There was some meat residue left in the pot, so she filled a small bowl.

"Mei Hui, how can you drink that little broth? I'll give you some of mine!" Song Yi refused to drink a big bowl alone and insisted on scooping it out with a spoon.

Lin Meihui stopped him and looked at Song Yi seriously, "Brother Song Yi, you are injured now, you should drink more broth to replenish your body. When you get better, we have made money, we will cook a big pot, and then stay close to me." Drink, okay?"

Song Yi blamed himself a little, but Lin Meihui didn't care.

She washed the pot, collected the firewood on the ground, and sat under the lamp to continue picking corn seeds.

"Brother Song Yi, these seeds look plump and golden in color. They will definitely produce good crops... Don't worry." Lin Meihui did not forget to comfort Song Yi while picking them.

After Song Yi finished drinking the soup, he felt warm in his stomach and his mood improved.

He also moved a small bench and sat in front of Lin Meihui, and the two picked corn seeds together. "Meihui, you are always full of confidence in life. Sometimes I am not as good as you."

"Brother Song Yi is also very powerful, you just don't know it." Lin Meihui smiled, thinking that when Zhang Zhigang came, Song Yi did not hesitate to protect her in front of her, Lin Meihui felt happy in her heart.

Song Yi didn't hear the implication of Lin Meihui's words, and just continued, "Since the year before last, nothing can be grown in our land. When we plant corn, we can't grow seedlings, only grass. When we plant sorghum, we don't produce ears, but only seedlings." , I tried every method, but no improvement was seen.”

“Is there not enough fertilizer?”

"No, people in the village say that my fate is bad, and nothing can be done..." Song Yi said, feeling depressed. He couldn't help but think of Lin Meihui's business troubles these days, and Zhang Zhigang's interference. Now he still refuses Lin Meihui was injured in the ribs.

Lin Meihui sounded a little distressed and raised her head to look at Song Yi, "Don't listen to their nonsense. You are not allowed to think like this again in the future. God loves every citizen, how could he punish you so cruelly."

"But there are really no crops growing in the ground..."

"We will definitely find the reason. Can't we just solve the problem by then?" Lin Meihui smiled easily, but she actually didn't know what to do.

When she was in the Lin family, she only took care of the housework, and Lin Guoqing and Zhao Cuihua took care of the work in the fields. For no other reason than the work in the fields was not good, they abandoned her and left her alone.

Every piece of work at home can be seen. The chickens will croak with hunger if they are not fed, the pigs will have to open the door if they are not fed, and the pots will not be washed. Therefore, Zhao Cuihua only lets Lin Meihui work at home.

So Lin Meihui actually didn't quite understand what was going on in the field. Now in order to comfort Song Yi, she could only say this.

However, Lin Meihui was not discouraged. No matter how difficult it was, could it be more difficult than her previous life? She would not give in.
