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

Chapter 17 Fighting the Autumn Wind is an Art

Soon, the results of her simulation appeared on the simulator screen.

[At the age of 25, your husband fell ill in bed due to long-term hard work and chronic malnutrition.Now that your sons have mastered straw weaving skills, your family can live a good life with everything to eat.Your man's condition has improved.One morning, after taking a bunch of straw woven at home to the county and selling it, your family finally had cereals to eat.And because of your many misfortunes, your thin-skinned husband finally mentioned that he had another family relationship.You have made up your mind to let him find a wealthy relative to have sex with.So, he went.Because he was dressed in rags and was clumsy in speech, he was kicked out by the Zhang family's concierge.That night, he came back carrying two young boars and a goose. 】

[At the age of 26, you are addicted to the breeding industry.It seems that because life is too difficult, you, who comes from modern society, like the activity of turning all the little boars raised at home into eunuchs.After you castrate them, you will find that the pigs seem to have lost hope of being born and only know how to eat and sleep.With your careful feeding and frequent bathing every day, your two little boars have both grown to three hundred pounds in just one year.Your family has caused a sensation. People everywhere say that you are good at raising pigs.Landlord Zhang even sent people over to ask your family for advice.You are famous far and wide for your castration of pigs.This year, because you got five and a half taels of silver from selling pigs, your man decided to buy another acre of good land]

[27 years old, there is a severe drought this year.At the beginning of spring, your family goes to the fields to plant wheat, only to find that the soil fertility has declined and needs to be left fallow.Because you consciously fermented pig manure last year, your family will continue to farm with fertilizer this year.However, due to the drought this year, your family only got 300 kilograms of wheat from three acres of land.Landlord Zhang and the court increased the rent, and all three hundred kilograms of wheat in your house were paid out.In late autumn of this year, your man was sent to do corvée work by the village and went to dig wells by the Youshui River. Due to the intensity of daily labor and the lack of nutrition, your man fell seriously ill and died of poverty and illness. 】

[At the age of 28, after the spring, your family is once again out of business.You and your sons took out all the pickles hidden in the yard and brought them to the county town to sell them.With the money you sold, you bought a young boar.In the summer and autumn, your eldest and second son went out to pay the government's grain tax and pay the landlord's rent, and your family was once again impoverished.In late autumn, you asked your two sons to sell your [-]-pound pig for only one or two and a half yuan.You plan to marry your eldest son a wife in a while. 】

[29 years old, after the New Year, your eldest son will be 15 years old.You have saved more than one tael of silver in your hand.Because you are not taboo about married widows, you decided to find an older wife for your eldest son.Your family gave you one tael of silver as a betrothal gift, and also gave the government matchmaker three hundred cash as a thank you to the matchmaker. The matchmaker found a Widow Wang who gave birth to three daughters for your family.You saw that Widow Wang had scars on her face and her hands and feet were strong and neat. Even though you knew that she was getting married with three daughters, you agreed.This winter, you had a grandson and became a grandma. 】

【30 years old, because you gave birth too much too early, the sequelae are obvious.And because you have been overworked and malnourished for a long time, this year you finally fell ill.Looking at Widow Wang, who is only 20 years old, and her eldest son, who is only 16 years old, and the little carrot heads beside the bed, you burst into tears, and you can't stop the sadness in your heart.In this life, you sigh again, why is it so difficult to live? 】

[Simulation ends]

……

Chen Feiyan looked at her dismal ending again, and she felt uncomfortable again.

However, although she felt unhappy, she took the time to review it this time.

The housekeeper of the life simulator just announced that when she turns 25, that is, this year, Chen Yixuan will be kicked out by the Zhang family concierge because of "ragged clothing and clumsy speech"...

But he still bought two pigs and a goose that night...

What happened in the middle?
Also, there was a severe drought when she was 27 years old.In other words, her family must stock up on enough food rations this year and next year.

As soon as I grabbed these two key pieces of information, the simulator screen flashed black and new content immediately appeared.

The life simulator steward said: "Please make a choice among the following three options within 15 seconds. If the time is exceeded, all three choices will be invalid."

"First, farming experience: +20
“Second, castrate pig raising skill: +15.

"Third, rough memories of important events between the ages of 25 and 30."

Seeing these three options, Chen Feiyan did not hesitate and immediately chose the second one, the skill of castrating pigs.

Chen Feiyan thought that this time, she must expand the scale of breeding.If the operation goes well and she gets a few taels of silver from Aunt Chen Yixuan's house, she will take the whole family to raise pigs.

You can raise four sows and several boars.One boar is used as a breeding pig, and all the others are used as male boars.

When the New Year is approaching, all the male boars will be dragged out and sold.

Chen Feiyan became happy thinking that she would be able to earn a sum of money by the end of next year.

However, all this is based on her family being able to fight against the autumn wind.

Knowing that others would dislike what Chen Yixuan was wearing, she thought about it. She was so poor now that she simply couldn't afford to buy him decent clothes.She could only use her needle and thread as much as she could to patch all the holes in the clothes he was wearing.

As soon as Chen Yixuan comes back in the evening, Chen Feiyan will wash his face.

"Have you settled the matter of renting 20 acres from Landlord Zhang?"

Chen Yixuan replied calmly while she wiped his face with a washcloth.Chen Feiyan nodded. "Then when do you plan to go see your aunt?"

Chen Yixuan thought for a moment, "I plan to wait a few more days. I will take a few children to the fields tomorrow, plow and dry the twenty acres of fields, and then quickly plant wheat."

"Then let's be more prepared in the past few days..."

Chen Yixuan looked at her in surprise. "What should we prepare?"

Chen Feiyan rolled her eyes at him and then said slowly: "We are a wealthy family. Now that you have found the Zhang family, you have to pick something up, right?"

"By the way, there must be a caretaker at his house. Before you can see your aunt, you must first pass the gatekeeper level."

Chen Yixuan listened and said yes.

Seeing that Chen Yixuan was not repulsed, Chen Feiyan struck while the iron was hot.

"By the way, you went there that day, so you can't be too poorly dressed. I plan to ask Xiaoyi to pick some soap locusts and wash all the clothes at home in the next few days. There is no peculiar smell on you, and the clothes are clean. People have seen you. , the impression is better."

Chen Yixuan nodded, "Daughter-in-law, you are right."

Seeing that he had agreed well, Chen Feiyan was worried that he would have nothing to say after meeting his aunt, so she suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "How about we simulate that scene a few times now, okay?"

Chen Yixuan slowly shook her hand and asked curiously.

"What kind of simulation?"

Chen Feiyan was very interested. "Just pretend that you have arrived at the door of your aunt's house now. I am the doorkeeper. When you see me, what should you say and what should you say? How can you let me in and inform you?"

Chen Yixuan was intrigued by her, and he bent down to Chen Feiyan and saluted with a smile. "Hello, uncle~ I am in good health and have good luck!"

Chen Feiyan was shocked by his serious cosplay, but soon she started laughing.

After a while, she was laughing so hard that tears flowed out of her eyes.

"Yes, yes! The king of hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with. Wherever you go, that's how it should be!"

When she had laughed enough, she asked again, "If I were your aunt, how would you greet me after you met me, and how would you close the distance between us?"

Chen Yixuan looked at Chen Feiyan smiling, and the words his grandfather had said to him suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Awareness is based on emotion, motivation is based on reason, and inducement is based on profit."

When facing relatives you haven't seen for a long time, you still need to be affectionate.

Between him and his aunt, he can talk about the things that happened in his mother's past, which were a bit sad, cry more about how much he misses his aunt, and talk about how difficult his life was...

Although he had already made up his mind, Chen Yixuan still wanted to be ashamed in front of his wife, so he did not tell her the details.

He only said: "You really need to think about this matter carefully."
