How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 127 The temperaments of different people
As soon as Chen Feiyan returned home, she started doing various handicrafts again.

Chenyuan saw her busy from morning to night, and she suddenly said: "Sister Feiyan, it's not easy for us rural people to make money!"

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she immediately resonated with him.

"Really? I have lived to this age, and I really feel that it is not easy to make money. Especially in a remote country like ours. Apart from farming, there seems to be no other way out."

Wang Yingying, who was sitting next to her doing embroidery, heard this and couldn't help but interrupt: "Brothers and sisters, we rural people still have a way out, have you forgotten?"

"Reading!"

"This old ancestor has a very good saying, everything is of inferior quality, only reading is good. If we rural people want to really change their destiny, they still need to read more books. From now on, if they are admitted as scholars, they will have It's a privilege. I've heard that when a scholar meets a government official, he doesn't have to kneel down as long as he doesn't risk his life."

"Moreover, as long as the scholar lives, he will not have to do corvee service in his life. He can also receive some money from the government every month. During the Chinese New Year, the county magistrate will ask people to send some salted fish or something. The days of those scholars, No matter what, our life is better than that of powerless people like us."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she used to feel a little annoyed, but now she really listened.

She thought to herself, she still needs to have a scholar in her family!
He must also be a distinguished scholar.

However, the money for studying is a huge expense.

Now her family is so poor that they can hardly afford to eat. If she wants her family to be a scholar, the first condition is to have money.

... It felt like this had become a strange closed loop, so Chen Feiyan closed her eyes tightly.

For those who have no foundation at the bottom, if they want to climb up, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Forget it, she should take her time.

Take it one step at a time, don't be in a hurry.

Chenyuan lived to be in her 40s. She had had several contacts with her sisters-in-law Wang Yingying and Chen Feiyan, and she had already figured out their temperaments.

She could tell that Wang Yingying should have come from a wealthy family before, and seemed to be richer than her previous family.

Her family suddenly fell into decline, and she seemed unable to adapt to the poor life she now had.She often talks about how she lived a wealthy life in the past.

As for this Feiyan girl, she has a more pragmatic personality.He opened his mouth and closed his mouth to settle accounts with them.Tell me how much you can earn from this, and how much you can earn from that.

Moreover, she could feel that she was very anxious and worried.It seems like something has been urging her to make more money quickly...

I found out that Chen Feiyan’s natal family lived in the mountains.It is also a big family with the surname Chen.

Chen Yuan suddenly spoke: "Sister Feiyan, with the environment in our family, it's very difficult to be a scholar. We still need to think more realistically. If the weather is good this year, how many more loads of grain can we carry?" .”

Chen Feiyan nodded and responded: "Sister Chenyuan, your family should have planted sorghum on the edge of the river this year, right?"

Before Chen Yuan could speak, the mother-in-law beside her became excited. "Isn't it?!"

"My family has planted nearly [-] acres of sorghum land this year. We only have to wait until early August to harvest it!"

"I have no other thoughts now. I just think about a bumper harvest this year! We have a new family now, and there will be grandchildren in the future. There are many people in the family. If there is not enough food, then our family will not be able to survive. ”

I thought about fertilizing the sorghum in more than half a month.The men in the family are away, so the women in the family cannot do such heavy work.Chenyuan's mother-in-law became worried.

But soon, she seemed to suddenly think of something.After sizing her daughter-in-law up a few times, she made up her mind.

The wife here is so tall and eats more than ordinary men on weekdays. Women like her should work more in the fields.Otherwise, why would his son marry him?
When a daughter-in-law comes here, she has to take on the responsibilities of being filial to her parents-in-law, giving birth to children, raising a family, farming and fetching water, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, and satisfying her husband in bed.

This is how she came through back then.After 30 years of hard work, she became a mother-in-law.

When her father-in-law and mother-in-law were alive, she, as a woman with small feet, had no time to rest.

She lived to this age and gave birth to a total of 11 children.Many times, right after giving birth to a baby, her powerful parents-in-law would drag her off the bed and make her follow them to the ground.

Even though they all knew that she was a woman with bound feet.Her powerful parents-in-law forced her to kneel in the field, weeding and loosening the soil bit by bit...

It was too difficult, her previous life was too difficult.

Every time she thinks about it now, she doesn't know how she survived it before.

Thinking that he had suffered so many years in his life, he originally wanted to wait for his daughter-in-law to come in more than 10 years ago and let her take care of him.But over the years, the two sons have failed to live up to their expectations, and they did not marry a wife until they were in their 40s and 10s. Finally, the younger son married a daughter-in-law who was more than [-] years older than her at the age of [-]. The daughter-in-law raised her here. What matters is the height and weight. She is not weak at all when beating three old men... Granny Chenyuan suddenly turned red, wondering why her life has been so miserable.

Chen Feiyan found that she was like a doormat again, sullen and angry. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Chen Yuan.

When Chen Yuan saw it, he silently shook his head at her and signaled her to leave it alone.

Her mother-in-law is generally not a bad person, not a bad person in the true sense.

She had suffered so much in the past that some of her thoughts were distorted.

She just couldn't see her well.

Many times she found that her mother-in-law often found fault with her, making her unhappy.

However, it was still a bit difficult for her to make her unhappy.

The three men in the family together can't do anything to her, and she can't do anything to her.

If these people lectured her, annoyed her every day, and she had a bad temper, she would beat them.Hit them hard and they won't be nagging anymore.

Chenyuan has been practicing for many years, and she doesn't care at all what her parents-in-law and her husband think.She only cares about whether her life is good now.

"Sister Feiyan, if we, the people at the bottom, want to have enough to eat, we not only need to grow food, but also do more handicrafts. The round fan I saw you made last time was very good."

Chen Feiyan smiled and shook her head: "My craftsmanship is still not on the market. The things I make are still rough and crude, and I can't sell them at a good price in the county."

Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I don't think it's crude or rough. I just think the things you made have a simple beauty. By the way, I made a few grates a few days ago. I wonder if you like it, sister?"

After saying that, she took out a few grates from her carry-on luggage and handed them all to Chen Feiyan.

Chen Feiyan looked at the grate in her hand. She was very happy and thought to herself that she was just about to pick her head right now.

Living conditions in ancient rural areas were particularly poor.

Most people in the village have fleas on their bodies.

They don't bathe or wash their hair all year round. They have clothes to wear but no change of clothes at all.A piece of clothing is worn from spring to winter, and from winter to spring.

It was originally undyed white linen, but after being left unwashed for a long time, it became patinated in many places.Sometimes it will reflect light under the sun, showing a gray-black color.
