Rebirth in the Eighties: Reclaiming Space and Marrying a Rough Guy

In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...

Chapter 7: Money-Making Ideas

Ye Jin took Ye Xiaoli's hand and walked to her room, where a basket of radishes was piled in the corner.

"Do you want to change your destiny?"

"I want to! But how can we change it? Just with these carrots?"

Ye Xiaoli asked in confusion. The radish season is coming to an end now, and it is indeed rare to find radishes as big and white as these.

"Of course not. Do you want to make money? If you do, start with these radishes. Let's sell radishes together. Once you have money, you'll be more confident and no one will dare to force you."

"How are we going to sell them? And even if we do, these radishes won't fetch much!"

Although Ye Xiaoli looks dark and thin, she is a good hand at farm work.

Growing vegetables and farming, chopping firewood in the mountains, fishing in the river, there is nothing she can't do.

If she had not been so capable, her family would not have been able to support her until she was 18, and she would probably have been married off at the age of 16 or 17.

If her two brothers were not in a hurry to get married, she would have to stay at home and work for a few more years before she was willing to get married.

"This is not an ordinary radish." Ye Jin picked up a radish and broke it with force. With a crisp click, the radish broke into two pieces.

The flesh of the radish is crystal clear and juicy at the cut end, and it looks very delicious.

"Try it." Ye Jin handed the radish over. Ye Xiaoli took a bite in confusion and found that the radish was crispy and sweet, without the spicy taste of ordinary radishes. It was delicious even when eaten directly.

"Delicious! This radish not only looks great, but also tastes amazing. Where did you get such a good radish?"

Ye Xiaoli ate half a radish in one breath. It is no exaggeration to say that this was the most delicious radish she had ever eaten in her life, or even the most delicious food.

"Don't worry about where I got it. Just tell me, if I take this kind of radish to town and sell it, will other people rush to buy it?"

Ye Jin also took a bite of the radish. It was as delicious as fruit. It might be difficult to sell such a radish for the first time, but anyone who has eaten it once will definitely become a repeat customer.

"Of course, it's just that this amount of goods is too little. It's not easy to go down the mountain, and with just this little stuff, I might not even be able to recover the cost!"

Vegetables like radishes are usually sold at a few cents to one or two cents per pound. Radishes of this quality are capped at two cents. This basket probably weighs about 100 pounds. If you are lucky enough to sell them all, you can only make 20 yuan.

After deducting costs and labor expenses, there is not much left.

"If my radishes are less than one yuan per pound, I will definitely not sell them."

Ye Jin smiled slightly, and Ye Xiaoli immediately became anxious.

"One yuan per pound is too expensive. No one will want it."

"Listen to me."

Ye Jin pulled Ye Xiaoli to his side and whispered a few words to her. Only then did Ye Xiaoli relax her brows and smile.

"Is this really okay?"

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Ye Xiaoli went down the mountain carrying radishes, or walked to the deserted back mountain. Ye Jin was weak, and she also had to find out the whereabouts of her sister, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to go down the mountain at this time.

Ye Xiaoli's family planned to let her get married, but she was still free at the moment. If she could earn some money and bring it back, her family would see her value and naturally would not rush to marry her off, and her crisis would be solved.

Ye Jin was looking for seeds at home. Wang Fengqin was not a hardworking woman. In addition, her husband worked on the construction site all year round to make money. Even if she didn't do farm work, she never lacked money to spend. Therefore, she didn't store many seeds at all.

Ye Jin searched through the box but only found a few pumpkin seeds, a few sprouted potatoes and a few moldy peanuts.

"This woman is so lazy!"

Usually Ye Jin cooks, but today she doesn't want to work.

After finding the seeds, he locked himself in the room again and flashed into the black soil of the space.

This land is vast and fertile, which can increase the growth rate of plants. The only drawback is that it is overly dependent on well water.

Ye Jin scattered all the seeds he found into the ground and watched them take root, sprout, and stretch out their seedlings and branches.

The pumpkins bloomed large golden flowers, the peanuts bloomed small yellow flowers among the green seedlings, and the potatoes produced small white flowers.

This time Ye Jin didn't plan to water the seedlings. After waiting for an hour, the seedlings remained the same.

"I just don't believe it. It can't bear fruit without watering."

Ye Jin got into a fight with these seedlings and refused to water them with even a drop of well water.

She held her chin with her hands, squatted on the ground, and watched the changes in the seedlings without blinking.

Wang Fengqin struggled to help Zhang Duo to the clinic. Doctor Liu, who was squatting at the door smoking, saw her from a distance but did not get up to help.

He only lazily asked, "I've only been back for one day, how did it become like this?"

"That little bitch was so mean. She kept provoking Duoduo with words and even hit her. With Duoduo's eyes looking like this, how could she be her match? Isn't this what happened?"

Wang Fengqin sighed, and Doctor Liu pulled Zhang Duo to sit on a stool. He carefully examined her eyes, disinfected them with alcohol, and replaced the gauze with a new layer.

"Your eye isn't in good condition. It's already oozing pus in such cold weather. If this continues, you might not even have a month left before this eye is completely beyond saving."

"Ah, what should I do then?"

Zhang Duo still had no expression on her face. Wang Fengqin was so scared that she rushed forward and grabbed Dr. Liu's arm, asking anxiously.

"What else can we do? Zhang Duo, you should be less angry these days. Wang Fengqin, you should keep a close eye on Ye Jin and avoid any conflicts with her these days."

"This little bitch is so vicious. It's not enough that she hurt our Duoduo. Now she's trying to provoke her again. I really can't swallow this!"

Wang Fengqin gnashed her teeth in hatred, and Dr. Liu glared at her with disappointment.

"You have to endure it for the next few days, no matter how hard you try. When Zhang Duo's condition improves in a few days, you can just find someone to bring her over. This time, we'll use hemp ropes to tie her up tightly. Once she's on the operating table, she won't be able to do anything!"

Doctor Liu smiled grimly, and Wang Fengqin shuddered with fear, but she still had a bright smile on her face.

"Doctor Liu is right. I will listen to you."

Wang Fengqin found her backbone and felt much better.

She supported Zhang Duo and went back home with a smile on her face. However, when she got home, she saw the cold stove and the empty pots. Her stomach was growling with hunger and she became increasingly angry. She immediately forgot about Doctor Liu's instructions and banged on Ye Jin's door.

"Ye Jin, Ye Jin, what time is it? Why don't you go cook? Do you want to starve me to death?"

Ye Jin heard the noise and returned to the room. Wang Fengqin's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and her voice was so loud that even through the door, her head was buzzing.

She suddenly opened the door and replied impatiently: "I'm not your babysitter. If you want to eat, don't you know how to cook it yourself?"
