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

Matchmaker Ma makes money by being a matchmaker.

Otherwise, is he deliberately tormenting himself and insisting on working blindly without making any money? !

As early as last year, he had found out that Chen Yixuan's family had gotten into a good family relationship in the city. Still the kind of high-ranking official he used to be.

I also found out that with the help of that rich and powerful relative, Chen Yixuan's family was living better and better.

He would go to the city every now and then to enjoy the autumn breeze, and he would be able to eat meat every time he came back. Last year, his family spent a large amount of money to build a new thatched house built with stones and a high-walled yard.

Moreover, he also heard someone say that during the Chinese New Year last year, someone drove a carriage or donkey cart to his door to give him gifts...

Matchmaker Ma kept Chen Yixuan's story in mind at that time.

Thinking that even if his family was prosperous, his defective sons might not be able to find wives, so he planned to come over and act as a matchmaker to see if he could get something out of it.

Five hundred catties of grain as a betrothal gift is neither cheap nor expensive here. It's barely a fair price.

However, his distant cousin's daughter-in-law was originally picked up by his family for free. Didn't cost a penny.

Moreover, his daughter-in-law has given birth to seven daughters in succession over the years, but she has not been able to give birth to a decent son.

His distant cousin once found someone to settle the matter and found out that his daughter-in-law was a traitor. Not only to defeat him, but also to defeat his son and grandson. She was destined to be unable to give birth to a boy in this life, so he had the idea of ​​selling her.

However, the daughter-in-law was sallow, thin, sickly, and looked like she was going to die at any time. He took her to a brothel in the city and took off her clothes, but the men refused to take her clothes when they saw her.

He forced him and his daughter-in-law to be kicked out, and said that she was a tuberculosis patient and that it was bad luck for her.

When she was walking on the street, a young man threw a meat bun in front of her. He didn't know if he had a crush on her or something.

Before he could grab it, she swallowed the meat bun in two bites.

He hated her so much that he picked up a stick and hit her with it.

Now he doesn't want to wait a day longer, he just wants to sell her. Sell ​​as many kilograms of grain as you can.

He had discussed it with Matchmaker Ma, if the business was settled. Of the five hundred catties of grain, my family can share three hundred catties, and he can also share two hundred.

……

As long as Matchmaker Ma thought about it, he could get two hundred kilograms of grain for free just by talking, and he couldn't help but start boasting.

"Brother Chen, don't look at our cousin's daughter-in-law like this now, but she was well-raised when she first came to the village."

"...Where is she from?" Chen Yixuan asked.

Matchmaker Ma smiled: "She is from out of town and can't understand what we say here."

"She has lived in my cousin's village for seven or eight years, and my cousin's family has never heard her speak. However, she must not be mute. Every time my cousin's family beats her, she will yell. of……"

Chen Yixuan shook his head: "She is so thin, I don't know if she will be able to survive in the future. As for giving birth,... I think it's a bit difficult."

"Brother Ma, you'd better ask your cousin's family to take her back..."

Matchmaker Ma learned that the matter was about to fall through, so he took the initiative to lower the price.

"Brother Chen, don't refuse in a hurry. We can still discuss the price."

"I also know that she doesn't look good now, but if she is raised at home for a few days, she can still grow back! The bulging belly is because there is water in her belly. As long as she eats full food for a period of time, her belly will It will go away.”

"How about this? We all take a step back. Can you give me four hundred catties of grain?"

Chen Yixuan shook his head: "Four hundred kilograms of grain is too much."

"Now one pound of old grain costs three cents per pound. Four hundred pounds of grain costs at least one thousand two hundred cents. This is almost one tael of silver. What's more, what you want is new grain..."      See Chen Yixuan's hand Seeing that his wife was about to go back, Matchmaker Ma gritted his teeth and took the initiative to lower the price.

"Brother Chen, can you give us three hundred catties of grain for three hundred catties of grain?! Just Chen grain!"

Matchmaker Ma has always known that his distant cousin is clearly not a kind person. How can his daughter-in-law survive this time when she goes back?

This time he regarded it as a good deed and doing good deeds. He doesn't want his share of the reward.

When Matchmaker Ma's distant cousin heard that his quotation was only three hundred, he couldn't help but said, "Cousin, how are we going to divide three hundred kilograms of grain between our two families?"

Matchmaker Ma said, "I'll give you three hundred kilograms of grain. I don't want even a kilogram."

When Chen Yixuan saw that the matchmaker had taken the initiative to lower the price to 300 kilograms, which was still old grain, he hesitated.

It is not easy for people at the bottom to get a wife nowadays.

Should such a woman help her son marry her home?

He looked at the woman, and then subconsciously looked at Chen Feiyan beside him.

Seeing that he was also hesitant, Chen Feiyan thought about it and nodded lightly.

When Chen Yixuan saw her like this, he agreed and said, "Okay, three hundred catties is three hundred catties. It just so happens that I still have three hundred catties of old grain in the house."

"I still didn't finish it last year."

……

There was a new woman in the family, so Chen Feiyan quickly asked Wang Yingying to help her boil hot water.

People here generally don't care about hygiene.

There are people everywhere who don’t take a shower, wash their hair, wash their feet, wash their face or brush their teeth all year round.

Even if the body is covered with starch, they won't wash it.

Moreover, many people have dandruff, lice, and bed bugs. You can smell their stinking smell from a distance.

Chen Feiyan didn't know how this new daughter-in-law could endure it. Her hair was so messed up and tangled, lice were jumping everywhere, and her body was dark because she hadn't bathed for a long time...

Seeing that she kept her head down and remained silent, letting them do whatever they wanted, Chen Feiyan whispered, "Is this water hot?"

Her messy hair couldn't be straightened out, so Chen Feiyan picked up the scissors at home and cut it all off for her.

As for the straw coat she was wearing, which was full of lice, she also threw it into the stove and burned it.

Hearing the crackling sound of the lice being burned to death, Chen Feiyan thought to herself that those lice had sucked her blood...

By the time Chen Feiyan and Wang Yingying cleaned her up, half an hour had passed.

Chen Feiyan dressed her in a linen dress dyed blue. He also put on a pair of khaki trousers for her.

After tying a linen belt for her, she handed her a bowl of fish head porridge.

"Are you hungry? Eat quickly!"

"From now on, you will be a part of our family. From now on, you will eat whatever we eat. This set of bowls and chopsticks are also your exclusive bowls and chopsticks."

Chen Feiyan said while observing her.

Seeing that she was slurping while eating, she finished the bowl of fish head porridge in a few seconds, so she filled another half bowl for her.

"Our family eats three meals a day. Everyone can eat at least one bowl for each meal. If you don't say you are full for every meal in our family, at least you won't go hungry every day."
