In her previous life, Wen Zhenyi was ostensibly a top chef, but secretly a bounty hunter. Unexpectedly, a car accident transported her into the body of a foolish girl in a fictional dynasty.

Chapter 202: Love to take advantage of small opportunities?
Wen Zhenyi even wished he hadn't come back. What a mess every day was.
The people who came this time were Dong Li and several prestigious elders in the village.
After Wen Zhen saw them clearly, he quickly stood up to greet them: "Grandpa Village Chief, how come you all have time to come here today?"
Dong Li looked at her with a smile: "We heard that you were back, so we came to see you."
"Please take a seat." Wen Zhenyi was a little confused about the purpose of their visit.
Several old men looked at Dong Li and motioned him to speak.
Dong Li considered for a moment before speaking: "Yi Yi, we are here today to ask you something."
"What's up?"
"Look, your business is so good, can you help the big guys in the village?"
Wen Zhenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Dong Li: "Grandpa Village Chief, what do you want me to do?"
Dong Li was in a dilemma. Her shop was so small, and he couldn't let her support everyone in the village!
"You have a lot of ideas. Give us some advice and let us all make some money."
Wen Zhenyi smiled at him and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, didn't I let everyone make money before? If you're quick, you can make two coins a day, and six coins in three days. If a few more people at home do it, you can make two or three taels of silver."
"I know. I just want to find something more to do. It doesn't matter if the salary is less."
Wen Zhenyi thought about it and realized that if she really set up a pig farm, she would need people to clean and feed the pigs, and also people to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.
These can be fed to pigs to increase their nutrition, and the quantity is not small.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I have two jobs here. I wonder if the villagers are willing to do them."
Dong Li and the others became excited when they heard this: "Go ahead."
"You know, I'm building a pig farm, so I need a lot of people to clean and feed the pigs, and I also need people to cut grass for the pigs. Also, if you have nothing to do, you can plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. I can harvest these, and I can even teach you how to make some other things."
"real?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "Really, I'll still charge according to the market price."
"Okay, I'll let everyone know later. Let anyone who wants to plant something start planting."
Wen Zhenyi had another purpose in asking them to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. The grain yield here was not high, but sweet potatoes and potatoes were high-yield crops, so there was no harm in planting more.
If the pigs can't finish the food, she can still make French fries or something like that. In short, it won't be wasted.
Several old men smiled and said, "Yi Yi, what kind of people are you looking for for your pig farm?"
"At least someone with experience raising pigs should be able to handle the dirt and fatigue. Besides, there's a lot of physical work involved in pig farming, so we'll probably have to choose young people."
The old man said with some regret: "Is that so!"
"That's the case for now, but I'll think about it again. If there's work suitable for the elderly, I'll keep an eye out for it."
The faces of several old men were full of joy.
Dong Li originally wanted to talk more, but when he saw the tired look on her face, he was unable to speak and left the yard with several old men.
Ma Yinghe saw that she looked tired and said, "Yiyi, go back and get some sleep."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I won't want to get up after falling asleep."
"If you don't want to get up, then don't get up. You don't have to be in the store right now. Xiao Taozi and the others can handle it well."
"Mom, that's what I said, but I still have to keep an eye on it, buy some ingredients and stuff, and think about what's going to happen next."
Ma Yinghe also touched her head with some distress: "I haven't let you rest well since you woke up."
Wen Zhenyi looked up at her: "I like such fulfilling days, which make me feel alive."
Ma Yinghe held her in her arms and said, "Live happily in the future."
"Okay." Wen Zhenyi hugged her back tightly.
Old Mrs. Ma and the others all smiled when they saw this. Wen Zhenyi not only helped the Wen family, but also helped the Ma family. How could they not feel sorry for this child?
Geng Ru was thinking that she should work hard to earn more money so that when she gets married, she can prepare a generous dowry so that she can marry in style.
Wen Zhenyi and Zhu Tao had dinner at home before returning to the store.
Wen Chengwen originally wanted to take them there by ox cart, but Wen Zhenyi refused: "Dad, I ate too much today, let me walk to help digest it."
Wen Chengwen could only remind them to be careful on the road and not to run around.
"I won't run around. Let's go and call Aunt You and the others to go back together."
Old Lady Wen sent them to the village entrance and was relieved to see them returning to the town together.
Wen Zhenyi looked at the aunts and asked, "Have you all learned to lie now?"
Aunt Yin blushed slightly, and her voice was a little soft: "I, we just thought you wouldn't have time to come back, so we bought it for one person or two people."
"Next time, tell me earlier and I'll give you the money." Wen Zhen said with a smile.
Aunt You was a little anxious: "We just feel bad about taking so much money from you."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the children beside him and asked, "Do you think so too?"
The children looked at each other, some of them not knowing what to say.
Benben pulled her hand and said, "Sister Wen, you didn't charge us for our meal at your place, and you even went out of your way to make delicious food for us. We are very grateful."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and looked at Hu Zi and the others: "Do you think so too?"
Hu Zi nodded: "Yeah, grandma and the others said that I have gained weight and grown taller."
Gousheng said quickly, "Yes, today I asked my mother to ask you if you are short of help. She wanted my second aunt to bring Goudan with her."
Aunt Dou quickly covered Gou Sheng's mouth and explained, "Yi Yi, it's just my mother-in-law's wishful thinking. I have already refused."
Wen Zhenyi didn't care: "It's okay, everyone wants to live a good life. If my store expands in the future, I can consider it."
"Don't think about her." Aunt Dou said quickly.
Wen Zhenyi was a little puzzled: "Why?"
"I told you, maybe you can't do it. Just ask Hu Zi's mother and you'll know."
Wen Zhenyi turned his head and looked at Aunt You: "Aunt You, what's going on?"
"Her second uncle's wife is not a pushover. She always tries to take advantage of others wherever she goes, whether it's grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds or picking up some needlework."
"Like to take advantage of small opportunities?"
"Not only is she a petty profiteer, she's also a bother. Last time we came back from break, we bought some things, but she was still moving them into her room while complaining about them. She even took back things meant for other people."
"Didn't Grandma Dou and the others say anything?"
"I asked her to take it out, but she refused to take it out. She just sat on the ground and rolled around. Uncle Dou hit her with the sole of his shoe, but it didn't work. This time, Gou Sheng's mother didn't dare to take it home directly. She left it at my house for my family to pick up."
