Li Yun, a rural woman from the 21st century, had a car accident. Her soul transmigrated to the body of a woman in ancient times who shared the same name.
Her home was bare, but she wasn't...
After everyone finished their meal, Li Yun said to Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan.
"Dad, Mom, now that we have money, I want to buy some land and send Dabao to school.
Before I lost my memory, I saved a foreign man in the county town.
It turned out that he came to the Jin Dynasty to do business. He was unfamiliar with the place and was attacked by a local businessman. I was the one who rescued him.
To thank me for saving his life, he sent me a lot of seeds. These seeds were not available in the Jin Dynasty, and he said they were all high-yield crops.
He also gave me some seasonings, which were not available in the Jin Dynasty. I sold them to Huimin Saloon for a lot of silver.
We have a lot of money now, so we don’t need to save it anymore. Once we buy land, we will be landlords.”
Li Yun made up lies while fooling Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan.
Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to explain the origin of the silver. She couldn't say she was a spirit that traveled from the future and took over the body of the original owner, Li Yun. And then, was the silver earned by selling things she brought from the future?
They treated her as a monster, tied her to a tree, and burned her alive with firewood.
Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan were skeptical when they heard about the high-yield crops. In their entire lives, they had never seen a high-yield crop. Every year, they planted over 300 kilograms of rice per acre. After paying taxes, there was hardly any food left for their families.
Qin Lanlan still hoped that what Yun'er said was true, that her family would never have to go hungry again. Whenever Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao cried out that they were hungry, she felt very sad. She wanted to make them something to eat, but when she saw the rice in the rice jar, she felt helpless.
"Mom, are we rich now? Can we have lots of delicious dishes like today every day?" Sanbao's mind was full of the delicious dishes she had just eaten. They were so delicious! If she could eat them every day, she would do anything.
Li Yun saw that Sanbao's mouth was full of oil and he looked like he was savoring the food.
How could she not know that Sanbao was actually a little foodie?
Li Yun did not disappoint her and spoke to her very seriously.
"Yes, our family is rich now, and we can eat whatever we want. We can enjoy such delicious dishes every day in the future."
Are you happy, Sambo?
"Happy, mother, Sanbao is so happy." When Sanbao heard his mother's words, he happily hugged his mother and kissed her and laughed, making everyone laugh.
Erbao was also very happy to hear that he could eat delicious food every day. The feeling of being hungry every day was really uncomfortable. If he could eat such delicious food every day, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
Only Dabao was overwhelmed with shock when he heard his mother was sending him to school. God knew how much he loved studying, and how envious he was of the village chief's grandson every day. Their family struggled to even afford basic food and clothing, so how could they afford to send him to school?
"Mom, can I really go to school?" Dabao asked his mother nervously, his trembling tone revealing his mood.
Li Yun looked at Dabao, heartbroken. He had to be so cautious about his little wish to study, afraid he was just kidding. Compared to the naughty kid who didn't want to study in his previous life, it was nothing compared to him.
"Dabao, it's true. Mother knows that you like reading. We didn't have the conditions before and couldn't send you to school. Now we have money, and not only will we send you to school, but Erbao will also go to school. As for Sanbao, mother will also ask a female teacher to come back and teach Sanbao to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Li Yun hugged Dabao and let him know that studying would not be a difficult task in the future.
When Erbao heard that he had to go to school, he frowned and looked very reluctant. He really didn't like studying. He just liked playing with his friends every day, going up the mountains and down the river.
"Mom, can I not study? I really don't like studying. Just let my big brother study." Erbao looked at his mother with hope, hoping that his mother would blurt out "OK" in the next second.
But to his disappointment, his mother did not agree, but said the opposite, which made his wish go unfulfilled.
"No, the books that Dabao reads are for him, and the books you should read are for yourself. Now you are young and just want to play. When you grow up, will you still want to play? Do you want to be an unlearned person? How will you live in the future?" Li Yunyu said to Erbao with sincerity, hoping that he could understand the importance of reading and also hoped that he would have a normal outlook on life.
After hearing what his mother said, Erbao suddenly became depressed and said weakly, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will study hard in the future."
Li Yun saw Erbao's expression and knew that what he said was insincere. He thought that he was still young and didn't understand the importance of studying, but he would understand it when he grew up. He didn't say much about it and changed the subject.
"Dad, Mom, how do I sell land and what are the prices?" Li Yun was not clear about the land transactions in the Jin Dynasty, so he asked Chen Mo for advice on how many acres of land would be appropriate to buy.
"In the past, wasteland cost two taels per mu, and fertile farmland cost five taels per mu. I don't know if the price has changed now. Yun'er, how many mu of land do you want to buy?" Chen Mo only knew the previous price, and he didn't know what it was now. After all, he hadn't bought land for a long time.
When Li Yun heard this, he thought it was not very expensive. At this price, it should be no problem to buy more than 200 or 300 acres.
"Dad, I want to buy some land with 1,000 taels. If the land is good, I'll buy it. Even better, I can buy 200 to 300 mu of land, both wasteland and fertile land. My seeds don't pick the land."
Li Yun's words shocked Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan. One thousand and two taels of silver were used to buy land, or two or three hundred acres of land. Even some landlords did not have so much land.
Is Yun'er going to be a landlord?
The truth about Chen Mo and Qin Lanlan was revealed.
Li Yun wants to be more than just a landlord. She also wants to be the richest person in the Jin Dynasty.
"Old man, we can't cultivate all this land after buying it. Are you renting it out to small farmers?" Chen Mo couldn't understand why they had to buy so much land. He and his wife couldn't cultivate it all. If they rented it out to small farmers, that would be fine.
"Dad, I won't rent it to small farmers. Some of this land is for building houses, and the rest is for growing my seeds. As for what you said about there being too much land to cultivate, don't worry about it. I plan to hire some servants to work on it, so you don't have to worry about not being able to finish it."
"Old man, what did you say? You want to buy someone back? No, we are all poor villagers. We don't have the money to buy someone back." Chen Mo was stunned when he heard that they wanted to buy someone back. They were country people who had been farming all their lives. How could they buy someone back? Wouldn't that make them the laughing stock of their neighbors?
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Qin Lanlan pulled the corner of his clothes and tugged gently.
"Old man, we agreed to let Yun'er take charge of the family, and we two elders would assist her. Why are you saying this now? Yun'er wants to hire someone to come back and farm the land, and that's fine. Although we've farmed our whole lives and are country folk, if they come over, we can just treat them as family, right? There's nothing to be entangled about. Let's just listen to Yun'er."
