Chapter 2 I believe you
Chapter 2 I believe you
"Don't be afraid, honey. I'm just trying to scare them. I won't really do anything."
Lin Heng held his wife Chen Xiulan's hand and said with a smile.
Lin Heng felt warm in his heart when he saw his wife's beautiful and rosy face without any makeup.
Even though she was not working properly and even had a lot of debt, she never despised herself and silently supported the family.
Such a woman who silently gives and works hard without complaint, doesn't know how many lifetimes she has accumulated to earn this blessing, and she didn't cherish it at all in her previous life.
When he thought of this, he wanted to slap himself a few times. No matter what, he would never let her suffer like that again in this life.
I have to work hard to make her live like a woman.
When Lin Heng suddenly grabbed her hand in public, Chen Xiulan's cheeks flushed and she quickly broke free: "It's good that it's not happening."
"Second brother, you are still quite useful today!"
After Lin Heng's father and his family left, his father Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Heng and said.
His second son was idle all day, which made him very angry. Today he was of some use.
Lin Heng looked at the man in his forties, whose face was as yellow as earth and had many wrinkles due to years of hard work, and couldn't help but smile: "Dad, I have come to my senses. I will live a good life and support my family in the future."
When his father Lin Xuan heard this, he sneered: "You have said this no less than five times, and have you ever persisted for more than three days?"
Lin Heng: “…”
Looking again, mother Lu Hongmei also had a look of disgust on her face, as if what he said was no different from fart.
Lin Heng thought about it carefully and remembered that he often said this in his previous life. Every time he would not last more than three days before running out to fool around.
"This time it's real, you believe me." Lin Heng said solemnly.
"Go and see if the dog can stop eating shit?" His mother, Lu Hongmei, gave him a look of disdain.
"I believe you. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, let's go pick mushrooms together. It rained heavily yesterday."
Chen Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said that she felt that as long as she treated him well, her husband would definitely settle down and live with her.
Just like he promised when we first got married.
After saying that, she went to the kitchen with her one-year-old daughter in her arms to scoop rice for him.
Mother Lu Hongmei couldn't help but shook her head when she saw this scene. She didn't know how much virtue Lin Heng must have accumulated in his previous life to marry such a hardworking and willing woman.
If it were someone else's house, they would have locked him out and given him the cold shoulder and insulted him every day.
"Dad, who are you going to sell this ginseng to?"
At this time, the eldest brother asked a question, and Lin Heng saw his sister-in-law Liu Juan stabbing him twice in the back while holding the baby.
“I went to the town to sell the herbs to the Liu family, and I estimated that I could get 400 yuan.
Add to that the little money I've saved over the years, and build two more houses, and then it's time for both of you to separate."
Father Lin Xuan glanced at his second son Lin Heng and his eldest son Lin Yue.
Before, we had to live together because we had no money. Now that my two sons have kids, the house is a bit too crowded, so we have to separate and build a house.
Upon hearing this, sister-in-law Liu Juan's eyes lit up, and brother Lin Yue was also a little excited. They were of course happy to be able to separate from the family and live their own lives.
"Then... Dad, which of us are you going to go with?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan asked again in a low voice.
The division of the family involves retirement care, which is not an easy matter.
Sister-in-law Liu Juan's triangular eyes reveal an excessive amount of shrewdness.
"Dad, just tell us who you want us to take care of you in your old age."
The eldest brother Lin Yue ignored his wife Liu Juan's warning look and spoke first, but he did not take on all the tasks of caring for the elderly.
"Come with me, I will earn money to support you in your old age!" Lin Heng said, patting his chest.
"You want us to beg with you, right?" my father retorted, but he felt a little better in his heart.
Although he is not doing his job properly, the second son still has a good heart and is not a bad person.
The eldest son is also very filial. In this respect, he is much better than his eldest brother Lin Xuping. When his eldest brother's two sons separated the family property, both of them refused to support him in his old age.
Lin Xuan felt very relieved that he had not raised two sons in vain.
"I don't need you to take care of me in my old age. Your mother and I are both under 40 years old and can support ourselves. After we split up, you just need to take care of yourselves."
Lin Xuan shook his head and continued, "Today is the first day of April. There will be a market on the third day. I will go there to sell ginseng then."
"Dad, four hundred is too cheap. When I went to the city before, the drugstore there charged at least eight hundred for a wild ginseng this big."
Lin Heng opened his mouth and said that the people who bought medicinal herbs in the town just took advantage of the farmers who didn't know the market conditions and made a fortune.
In this era, it is very difficult to go down to the city. There are no concrete roads, and you have to walk 70 or 80 kilometers along the mountain road, which takes two days to go back and forth.
The information was so blocked that many things were just priced randomly by the buyers in the town. He only found out about it after he went into the city several times.
"Is it so expensive in the city?" Father Lin was shocked and a little unconvinced: "Did you hear that from some drunken friend?"
Lin Heng: "...definitely not, I went to the city a few months ago and saw people buying ginseng at a state-owned pharmacy.
There are many other things that are much more expensive than what we charge here. If you don’t believe me, go and buy them yourself and you will know.”
"Or if you don't want to go into town, I can negotiate the price with the people in town then."
Lin Heng said again.
"Then let's try bargaining first. If it doesn't work, then go into the city and have a look." Father Lin said after thinking for a while.
He had never been to the city and instinctively didn't want to go there.
After making the decision, Father Lin wrapped the ginseng with moss. Lin Heng also took a look and found it was very complete, with all the roots still there, and of excellent quality.
He shook his head. If this thing could be kept and sold again after thirty years, it would be worth at least a million.
"Have a meal!"
His wife Chen Xiulan handed him a large bowl of rice with corn kernels and potatoes, and the dish was stir-fried shredded potatoes with spicy and sour sauce.
Nowadays, rice is almost always mixed with potatoes, pumpkin, corn and other such ingredients. Only those from well-off families can eat pure rice every day.
Lin Heng brought it over and looked at the food which had almost no oil or water. He felt a little sad. After taking two bites, he found it difficult to swallow.
There's nothing I can do about it. My taste has become picky and all my memories are of delicious food.
But he didn't say anything, just buried his head in eating, just thinking in his mind how to make his family live a good life.
What he was best at in his previous life was breeding, and he earned his money from breeding and orchards.
He opened a modern farm at that time and was very familiar with orchard management and breeding operations, which was also the best way.
Especially now it is 1983, this era is the reform dividend period. As long as you don't bury your head in farming, you can make a lot of money by doing any business.
After all, when the storm is at its peak, any pig can take off, and he also has modern planting and breeding techniques and experience from 2023.
The only thing missing now is the first pot of gold. I have to find a way to get some start-up capital so that I can start breeding and open an orchard.
What worried him was that he couldn't remember any method to make money quickly. The fastest way was to go up the mountain to collect goods and hunt.
