Chapter 4 Earning Work Points in the Field

So, if possible, Liu Yinyin still wants to have a space of her own.

At this time, all things were collective. After much thought, she decided that she should ask the village cadres about this matter to see if there was any vacant house in the village for her to stay temporarily.

However, this matter still needs long-term consideration. For a woman like her, it may not be that easy to get a house.

......

Jiang Cuihua next door also tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. It can be said that she hasn't had a good sleep since the day Liu Yinyin came home.

Whenever she thought of her young lady's current situation, her heart began to ache.

"Don't think about it. Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early to work tomorrow." Liu Defu sighed.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in being sad and upset; life still has to go on.

"Why does our Yin Yin have such a miserable life?" Jiang Cuihua said worriedly.

It was such a glorious wedding at the end of last year. People all over the place envied her for finding a good family. But only a few months later, she...

Nowadays, young ladies have become a laughing stock in the surrounding area.

"No one can be blamed for this." Liu Defu felt sorry for his daughter, but there was nothing he could do; it was fate.

"But... do you think our daughter can find a good family if she gets married again?" Jiang Cuihua worriedly.

Selfishly, she still hopes that Liu Yinyin can find a good home, otherwise what will happen when she gets old?

However, the girl had already been married once, and although she had no children, the situation was not much better.

These days, it’s hard for a remarried woman to find a partner.

"Let's talk about this later." Liu Defu frowned. It was not the right time to get married again. If Liu Yinyin was in a hurry to find someone now, she would really become a laughing stock in the neighborhood.

......

After breakfast the next day, Liu Yinyin went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables as usual.

This time she didn't go with Liu Zhizhi, but went somewhere far away by herself.

Liu Yinyin actually wanted to pick wild mushrooms because they were more expensive and there were more wild mushrooms the farther away from the village.

Sure enough, Liu Yinyin found a bamboo forest deep in the mountains and picked more than ten kilograms of wild bamboo fungus in it!

She sold ten kilograms of wild bamboo fungus to the system. The price of wild bamboo fungus was 240 yuan per kilogram. She earned 2,400 yuan in one go!

Liu Yinyin was overjoyed!

Although the money in the system cannot be withdrawn, the large balance is enough for her to use for a long time.

In addition to wild bamboo fungi, there are also many spring bamboo shoots sprouting in the bamboo forest.

It was another unexpected surprise. Liu Yinyin no longer cared about the wild vegetables and focused on digging spring bamboo shoots.

Digging spring bamboo shoots is quite laborious because only the head of the bamboo shoot is visible while a long part underneath is buried in the soil.

Liu Yinyin also had to carefully dig up the soil around the spring bamboo shoots...

After digging bamboo shoots for a whole day, Liu Yinyin was so tired that her back and waist ached and her hands were a little blistered.

It's a bit tiring, but the rewards are still very good.

Liu Yinyin sold fifty kilograms of spring bamboo shoots to the system and earned another five hundred yuan.

The system balance has become 3,180 yuan.

One day, after a fruitful harvest, Liu Yinyin happily returned home carrying a basket of bamboo shoots.

That night, there were two dishes on the table: mushroom egg soup and braised spring bamboo shoots.

It’s a pity that there is no bacon at home, otherwise, it would be more delicious if a few slices of bacon were put in the spring bamboo shoots.

However, perhaps because we had eaten too much pickled radish recently, the whole family thought the fresh bamboo shoots were delicious.

Even Mrs. Liu had a rare good mood and took several pieces of braised spring bamboo shoots with her chopsticks, enjoying them very much.

At night, thinking about having to go to the fields to earn work points the next day, Liu Yinyin fell asleep early.

Wake up refreshed the next day.

Logically speaking, Liu Yinyin has a system, and in fact she can earn more by picking wild vegetables in the mountains than working in the fields, but she can't let others know that she has a system.

There was no other way. In the eyes of outsiders, she had no job and no money, and could only rely on working in the fields to earn food to support herself.

So, no matter what, Liu Yinyin had to find a way to earn food in the future under the guise of earning work points.

Otherwise, how would she get food to eat if she had no job and didn't work in the fields?

After a few months, when Liu Yinyin reappeared underground, she really attracted a lot of people's attention.

Apart from anything else, Liu Yinyin was indeed the most beautiful girl in the area, otherwise she would not have been chosen by the Gu family, who had such good conditions.

She has red lips, white teeth, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, delicate and beautiful facial features, and a small face, the size of a palm, as white and tender as a peeled egg.

Many women felt jealous when they saw this.

It’s not like Liu Yinyin didn’t work in the fields before, but she had skin that never tanned, which made her very enviable.

Moreover, after not seeing her for a few months, Liu Yinyin's eyes and eyebrows seemed to have grown more mature and she became even more beautiful.

In fact, the original owner was introverted and afraid of being talked about by others, so he always kept his head down.

But the "Liu Yinyin" from later generations is not timid at all and is very graceful and confident, so even though it is the same face.

But the temperament is different, so the whole person looks more lively and beautiful.

The village’s task today is to plant corn, and Liu Yinyin is responsible for sowing and cultivating the soil.

The original owner had experience in doing this job, and Liu Yinyin got the hang of it in no time.

This job is not considered hard, but it is not easy to work in the field with a hunched back for a whole morning.

Maybe it was because she hadn't done such a long job for a while. She dug bamboo shoots all day yesterday and was busy all morning today. Liu Yinyin just felt her waist was particularly sore.

After lunch, I took a short break and continued working in the afternoon. In the whole day, I could earn seven work points.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Lying in bed exhausted, Liu Yinyin was quite puzzled. The original owner was not someone who could not endure hardship.

Whether before or after getting married, she had a good reputation in the village. She was beautiful, hardworking and was recognized by everyone as a "good daughter-in-law".

Why is it so tiring to work for her all day?

Liu Yinyin stuffed a White Rabbit milk candy into her mouth and thought, I can't go on like this.

Not to mention being tired, she had to work hard every day and had no spare time to make money from the system.

I don’t know if there is any job in the team that can earn her work points and not interfere with her making money?

Spring ploughing and autumn harvest are the top priorities in the village. Almost the entire village is mobilized. During this period, villagers cannot easily take leave.

Although Liu Yinyin was tired, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

After a week, spring plowing is over. For the next period of time, not everyone is required to go to work, and everyone can take turns to rest.

Liu Yinyin really couldn't hold on any longer, so she took a day off to rest.

This morning, Liu Yinyin said to Jiang Cuihua: "Mom, I'm going to the county town today."
