Hu Er also came over. After Chen Yourun left, Hu Er was already thinking about taking care of his younger siblings, even without Chen Yourun's help. It was a pity that Yin Shi used to look down on him and ignore him. Now that Yin Shi's temper had improved, she had gotten along with him better. However, he still couldn't help much because he didn't know how to help with the things he could, and Yin Shi didn't need his help with anything else.

Fortunately, Yin Shi was definitely not going to do this. Hu Er rolled up his trouser legs, put his legs directly into the ground, and then removed the covering.

Everyone's eyes turned to that direction.

Then my gaze froze, my eyes widened in disbelief, and then I saw the lush green rice seedlings.

Their eyes were fixed on the rice seedlings, as if they were seeing some monster, their pupils unmoving as they stared at the seedlings that were completely different from the ones they had just seen.

The stalks were thick, the leaves were green, and they swayed gently in the wind. They were exactly the same as the healthy seedlings that everyone could grow a few years ago.

The villagers stared in disbelief, then looked at the village head, whose jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. "This...this..."

Yin Lan looked over and saw that the emerald green leaves contrasted sharply with the withered yellow tips of the leaves on the neighboring plants. One looked like a frail old man, while the other looked like a newborn baby.

Is it really useful?

Everyone remained silent for a long time. The village head's hands trembled with excitement as he asked Yin Lan, "Where did you get these seeds?"

Yin Lan followed her previous explanation: it was sold by an elderly person, and there weren't many items, so the price wasn't cheap. She only bought some to try, but unexpectedly, it actually worked.

The village head grasped her excited hand, "Then let's go buy some more, do you still have any?"

Of course, there are. Yin Lan often goes to the county town and can help people buy things, but the things are expensive. Seedlings for one mu of land cost five qian of silver.

This is the price in the system; Yin Lan didn't earn a single penny.

She didn't intend to make money from such a vital matter concerning her livelihood. If it weren't for the fact that she had been in the village for a long time and that most of the villagers were nice people, she wouldn't have bothered with it at all.

However, she wasn't so kind as to spend her own money. If the villagers had been kind enough to help her when the original owner was alive, then there might have been a better chance.

However, the villagers were embarrassed, saying that it was too expensive. Most families owned several acres of land, and this would cost one or even several taels of silver.

After the harvest, we'll hand over the grain to the government, eat some ourselves, and sell the rest, but we might not be able to sell it all.

The village head was the first to express his desire to buy it.

Yin Lan entered the city on the second day. The others could go home to discuss it, and if they wanted to, they could go to the village head to register.

Take what you want; Yin Lan won't do anything more.

Before the crowd had dispersed, it was break time at the school. A group of children rushed out. The eldest and second eldest were beaming with joy, but the boys behind them didn't look too happy. Then came Xiao Xi, who looked serious, but the corners of his tightly pursed lips were still slightly upturned.

"How did it go? My child should be among the top in this test, right?"

“I’ve been studying hard in class these past few days, there’s no way I could be worse than that little brat.”

"Hurry up, Hammer, what are you doing so slow? Tell me, what place did you get this time?"

Yin Lan had a general idea of ​​what would happen, and sure enough, the boys lowered their heads.

Master Liu arrived at this time and announced the results to everyone: "First place is still Da Wa, Xiao Xi is second this time, Er Wa is third... The remaining rankings are similar to last time."

The women's faces were quite a sight to behold, changing color from blue to red and back again and again.

After a long pause, I still couldn't accept this result.

"Could it be that you've made a mistake, Master Liu?"

Master Liu simply stroked his beard, too lazy to even reply.

Xiao Xi glanced timidly at Yin Lan, and only after being encouraged by Aunt Yin did she smile gently, her two dimples making her look incredibly cute.

"Studying requires long-term effort. It's not something you can catch up with just a little effort. But if you don't work hard, others will leave you far behind. As for boys and girls, everyone has different strengths. There's no such thing as boys being better or girls being worse. If you have a girl in your family who wants to study, Master Liu welcomes her."

Master Liu nodded, agreeing with Yin Lan's words.

The women looked very upset. They had given birth to boys, so why weren't they as good as girls?

"As for what girls can do after they study? Just look at me. Once you've studied and learned math, even if you can't take the imperial examinations, you can still make money through business."

"Just look at Zhao Dashan's wife. Now that she wants to do business, she has to learn arithmetic from scratch. Does that mean this skill is useless?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Everyone knew that Madam Yin was good at making money. Moreover, she was not only good at arithmetic, but she could also deal with all kinds of people. Take these seedlings for example, if she hadn't known that old man, she wouldn't have been able to get them back.

Therefore, reading is still very beneficial.

More and more villagers wanted to send their children to school, but most of them wanted to send their children to school. As for the girls, they would all get married in the future. Look at Madam Yin, she is making money for the Chen family and raising her daughters, which is to benefit her future husband's family.

Yin Lan had actually thought of that too. Sigh... that's just how customs and systems are. If these things aren't changed, then people's mindsets can't be changed either.

However, given her abilities, she really couldn't do that much.

Next, the villagers started spring planting. Half of the families used Yinlan's seedlings, while the other half were reluctant to spend the money. They thought the seedlings looked good now, but what if they turned out the same in the future? They might lose money and not gain any benefits.

Half a month later, their seedlings were sparse, while Yin Lan's seedlings were still thriving.

Those who bought the products were finally relieved, knowing that the Yin family was trustworthy.

On the other hand, Qian Tiechui secretly made jelly according to Yin Lan's method and took it to the county town, deliberately avoiding Yin Lan's shop, and the jelly was sold.

He was overjoyed. After returning home, he discussed it with his wife and they secretly befriended several families in the village, with Chen Dafu, who was at odds with Yin Lan, as their leader. She also learned from Yin Lan's method, teaching them to ask for three taels of silver and then teach them how to do it.

Ten households came in total, and Qian Tiechui got thirty taels of silver for nothing. He was excited all night. That's right, no wonder that Madam Yin was so generous. She took five taels, and there were many more people than there. She must have taken a lot of dirty money from them.

He didn't consider that the method was someone else's own idea, and he naturally learned it, and in the end, he even had his money taken back.

He promised not to use this method again, but now he not only uses it, but also uses it to make money. This is not heartless; on the contrary, Yin Lan is heartless.
