Transmigrating to a Peasant Family Without Panic, I Relied on Farming to Get Rich

After transmigrating, Lin Yun-chu didn't even have time to feel sentimental before realizing that this peasant family was truly, utterly poor. They lived hand-to-mouth, their thin porridge was ...

Chapter 224 Wages

The village head then spoke and told everyone to wait for the Lin family to harvest together.

"Okay, I think the weather has been pretty good these past few days. How about we start harvesting potatoes the day after tomorrow? We've planted quite a lot. I think Dad will find some people in the village tomorrow to help us harvest potatoes."

Lin Yunchu paused, took a sip of water, and continued, "With more people, we can collect more quickly. The daily wage is fifteen cents. Anyone who is willing to come is welcome."

The remaining families in the village who did not plant potatoes were all waiting to see the harvest. Lin Yunchu thought that since this was the case, it would be better for them to hire someone to help.

This way the harvest will be faster, and other families should be happy to get paid. After all, even if this strong man goes to the town to do odd jobs, his daily wages are only ten cents.

This job happens in my own village, I don’t have to go to town, and the wages are higher than in town. This is a good thing that you can’t find anywhere else.

If it were an ordinary day, Lin's father would definitely be reluctant to pay the wages, but now he also felt that Lin Yunchu was right. Now the Lin family has planted a lot of potatoes.

If we rely solely on our own family, it will take a long time. Even if our eldest brother Lin Qingshan's family and Father Pan come to help, it will still take quite a while.

What's more, they also planted potatoes at home and had their own work to do.

It is more practical to find someone to help. Although it costs some labor fees, after harvesting the potatoes, I still have to take care of the workshop work, so the money is worth it.

Moreover, the Lin family has a lot of things to do now. If the family members have to handle everything themselves, I am afraid they will be overwhelmed.

"Okay, then I'll go out and find someone now. I shouldn't have any trouble finding someone for this wage."

Within half a day, Lin's father came back and said that he had found a dozen people, all of whom were young and strong. It was estimated that all the potatoes planted in the field could be harvested in a few days.

Lin Yunchu nodded, turned around and gave Lin Changting an instruction.

"Brother, when you go to town tomorrow, have Manager Zhou pass a message to Master Xue."

The last time Xue Jingran came, he said that he wanted to come over and take a look when the potatoes were harvested.

Lin Changting nodded when he heard this and took note of it.

Soon it was the day of the Lin family's potato harvest. Xue Jingran arrived at the Lin family early in the morning in a carriage, and brought his younger sister Xue Jingyao with him.

"Sister Lin, my brother and I are here again."

When Xue Jingyao saw Lin Yunchu, she couldn't wait to jog over to her, got close to her, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly with a smile.

Thinking of the sweet potato pancakes that Lin Yunchu made for her when she came here last time, she still missed it very much. After eating them at the Lin family last time, she asked the chef at her own house to make them several times according to the same recipe after returning to the Xue Mansion.

But the taste was not as good as what she had at the Lin family, so when she heard the waiter from Yipin Pavilion come to the mansion to deliver the message yesterday, she pestered her eldest brother to bring her along.

Lin Yunchu actually liked this innocent and lively little girl. She had been to Xie's house for a while and hadn't seen her for a long time. She then went into the house and took out the snacks she had made for Lin Changan yesterday.

Handed it over.

"This is the sesame candy I made yesterday. Take this jar and eat it."

Looking at what Lin Yunchu took out, Xue Jingyao thanked him repeatedly with a happy face, then turned around and glared at his elder brother.

Humph! See? I told you Sister Lin would definitely give me something delicious.

Looking at his younger sister's appearance, Xue Jingran couldn't help but laugh, with a helpless look on his face.

It just so happened that Lin Changan was at home on vacation today and didn't have to go to school. Lin Yunchu asked him to take Xue Jingyao to play at the Lin family's house for a while, and then took Xue Jingran to the fields.

When the two arrived at the Lin family's land, the sand was already busy.

Lin Qingshan's family and Pan's father also came to help. The ten or so people hired by Lin's father were busy working in the fields with hoes. The piles of potatoes in the fields were particularly eye-catching.

Not only the people who came to help today, but even Xue Jingran was shocked. He saw that the land was only about half an acre, but there were many potatoes piled on the ground.

It can be imagined that the potatoes are just as Lin Yunchu said, and the yield is indeed amazing.

Some of the people who came to help today did not plant potatoes with the Lin family. Now when they saw the field full of potatoes, they looked regretful.

If I had known that this thing really had such a high yield, I should have planted some together with the Lin family.

Those who had planted potatoes with the Lin family also had their mouths wide open at this moment, unable to suppress the smiles on their faces.

Looking at the harvest from the Lin family's fields, I thought about my own fields. After finishing the work at the Lin family's fields these days, the potatoes in my own fields should also be harvested.

There look to be a lot of potatoes here. I'm afraid we won't have to worry about not having enough food for our family this year, and we don't have to worry about going hungry in the winter.

I heard from Lin Wenshan that after the potatoes are harvested, we can plant them for another season, and then harvest another crop in autumn. That is much better than growing other crops.

Fortunately, their family did not listen to other people's instigation and followed the Lin family to grow potatoes. Moreover, the potato seeds were given by the Lin family for free. Now the ones who should regret it should be those who laughed at them.

Within half a day, the news of the bumper potato harvest in the Lin family's fields spread throughout Qingxi Village. Those who had not joined the Lin family in planting potatoes were now very anxious.

The village head had tried to persuade them door to door, and the Lin family was also very righteous, not charging any money for the potato seeds. Now, the potatoes were really as abundant as the village head had said.

How could they sit still? They were unwilling to join in the farming in the first place, and now they don't have the face to go to the Lin family.

They all went to the village head's house and said that they were willing to help grow potatoes.

The village head sat under the eaves smoking a pipe, not even glancing at the people surrounding his yard.

snort!

Now he knows he regrets it. He had talked to him until his lips were broken but no one was willing to help him. Now that he sees that other people have a good harvest, he shamelessly comes to his house to beg him for help.

He didn't have the nerve to talk about this with the Lin family again. There were many households in the village, so how could he always ask the Lin family to provide potato seeds for free?

Although the Lin family is living a prosperous life now, this doesn't make sense.

The Lin family and the people in the same village are not related to each other. You were not happy when we provided you with free potato seeds. Now it depends on whether the Lin family is willing to take you with them.

The village head looked a little disappointed. It seemed that the Lin family was now eager to help the people in their own village. These people were really short-sighted.

This good thing was pushed out forcefully. Today, the Lin family harvested the land and hired a dozen people from the village to work. The wages they offered were higher than those in the town.

The Lin family also wanted to give such good things to the people in their own village, but these people are really short-sighted.
