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

Chen Feiyan spoke her mind.

"Once we jump out of the cage, we have a way to survive."

Chen Yixuan smiled: "Everyone wants a carp to leap over the dragon's gate, and everyone wants a worm to turn into a real person. But it's difficult!"

"This is how the world is. We have worked hard and farmed for so many years. We have been working from morning to night without a day off. But, do you think we have made a fortune?"

After saying this, Chen Yixuan looked at Chen Feiyan seriously and said, "Daughter-in-law, sometimes I really feel that hard work cannot make you rich."

Chen Feiyan smiled: "Dad, I've felt this way from the beginning."

"If hard work could lead to wealth, then the most diligent donkey in our family would have become the richest in the village!"

As Chen Feiyan spoke, she carefully twisted the rabbit fur she had collected earlier into a rope.

"Daughter-in-law, are you dizzy?"

Chen Feiyan shook her head and felt that she was fine.

She asked him in turn: "What's wrong? Are you dizzy?"

"Then let me make you a pot of red date and ginger soup?"

Chen Yixuan thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's not use it. Nowadays, firewood, rice and oil are very expensive..."

“When I open my eyes every day, what’s on my mind is, does our family still have enough money?”

Chen Feiyan said: "It's okay. When we make seven or eight pairs of rabbit fur gloves during this period, you can sell them in the county. In this way, our family will make money again."

"..." Chen Yixuan was stunned for a moment, and then started to talk to her again.

"Daughter-in-law, do you think our family should rent a few more acres of land from Landlord Zhang for a few days?"

Chen Feiyan looked at him worriedly: "Our family has cultivated more than 20 acres of land, and there are only grown men like you in the family. If we rent a few more acres, can we farm it?"

"What's more, I've heard the news a long time ago. We, the younger brothers who have reclaimed the land on the mesa, people from the government, and landowner Zhang have all taken a liking to me. They said they would come over this year to survey and take over the land. go."

"At that time, if we really want to plant the fields we have cultivated, we will have to pay rent to them."

"And I also heard even worse news, saying that the Youshui River next to our village was contracted by landlord Zhang and people from the government. If we go fishing in the river in the future, we will You have to pay money to the government and landlord Zhang..."

When Chen Yixuan heard these words, he pursed his lips, nodded, and said helplessly.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Who told the wasteland we have reclaimed to be targeted by those rich and powerful people?"

"...It's also a good thing that your mother-in-law's brother sends some coal that his family secretly dug to our family from time to time. Otherwise, our family would have to spend a lot just to buy firewood."

In the past few years, they, including others in the village, have been secretly cutting firewood in the mountains.

Landlord Zhang lives quite far away from their village.

People in their village do this kind of thing secretly to make a living.

Too many people have to survive. Therefore, there is a mountain in the back mountain, most of which is bare.

Landlord Zhang sent his housekeeper and servants to investigate.

They suspected that the villagers from Chenjia Village went to that mountain to cut firewood at will. So, a few days ago, they also approached the village chief Chen Qiliang and the clan elders.

They were warned directly.

They said that if they caught a villager secretly chopping firewood next time, they would beat him half to death and send him to Chenjia Village. Let the people in Chenjia Village pay them compensation.

The family was rich and powerful, and the family was numerous and powerful, so the village chief Chen Qiliang could only keep bowing to the other party and apologizing. He also patted his chest and promised that he would resolutely restrain the villagers in the future and would not let them go to the back mountains to cut firewood secretly.

Because there is no free firewood, many people have no choice but to take huge risks and go to the mountains and forests to cut firewood secretly.

Some villagers are much more economical than before.

They only cook one meal a day.

I eat hot food in the morning and cold food at night.

Usually they don't drink any hot water, just raw water.

When they go to bed at night, even if it is very cold in spring, they will not heat the kang.

When Chen Feiyan thought about saving firewood, she felt very annoyed.
Ancient farmers had no money and were very economical in using materials. Basically I only take a bath and wash my hair once a year.

Therefore, many farmers look like beggars from the outside, much more down and out than the modern Sanhe gods.

They had tall black and yellow cheekbones, cheeks without flesh, and their clothes were in tatters, exuding a strong stench. The way he looks at people is also dull and numb, as if he has been hit by life and has no hope.

When Chen Feiyan thought of the villagers in the village, whose eyes were always green every time they peeked at their pigs, Chen Feiyan stood up anxiously.

She said excitedly: "Dad, our family has five pigs, and they still have to come to our house!"

"The house we built for them is still too unstable. I'm worried that they will be stolen while we are asleep at night..."

Chen Yixuan said with a smile: "There are too many valuable things in our family now!"

"...But don't worry. My brother and I have already discussed that one will be on night shift and the other will be on day shift. In short, we will both take turns."

After hearing this, Chen Feiyan felt a little more relaxed.

"Daddy, the chickens, ducks and geese we raise are all very impressive. Now I can collect more than a dozen eggs in a day."

"Especially the hens we raise, all of them are very capable. They can lay an egg for me every three days. I have accumulated 300 eggs now."

"Master, do you think I should pickle these eggs, or should I save them and wait for you to go to the county next time, and then we can sell them together in the county?"

Chen Yixuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's save some money at home!"

"We still need to earn more money this year. Then we will build a new house, and then use some money to give our third child and our nephew a new wife..."

"My nephew is seventeen years old this year and will be eighteen next year. He can no longer delay. Otherwise, he is very likely to be like other young men in the village and remain a bachelor all his life without being able to marry. To my wife..."

For ancient men, getting a wife and having children was the most important thing in their lives.

Especially for men from the lower classes in ancient times, they could only gain respect from others by marrying a wife and having children.

In their view, a person without a wife or children is in danger and is not worth mentioning.
