Chapter 56 He is so smart!
"Brother, can you lend us one of your mule carts? Without a cart, we have to walk to get the goods, but we can't push it because the distance is too far."
The three of them looked towards Lin Dashan with sparkling eyes.
"Ahem, there are other uses for the mule at home. Third brother, you and your second brother can push it first and collect the goods in the nearby village. It's not far away. When you make enough money, buy an ox cart and go farther."
"That will take a long time, big brother. How about you give us one to use for a few days? We'll return it to you when we buy some animals."
"Yes, boss, even if you borrow a cow, it's fine." Lin Mutu chimed in.
Xiaomi: The people in this old house are really... Will they die if they don’t take advantage of the situation?
"Dad, it's really not possible for now. The farm's animals are all in use recently. If you really can't push it, don't take this job for now. I'll do it for Fuyou. They are strong and not afraid of getting tired."
"No, big brother, let's do it, let's do it! Third brother, shut up, how can you not push a cart weighing hundreds of kilograms? Let's push it together."
How could he let someone else get such a good job? Don't even think about competing with him, Lin Sanjia.
Frightened by Lin Dashan, the father and his two sons dared not mention borrowing animals again. After promising to start delivering soybeans the next day, they returned home in shame.
Wang was angry. If Xiaomi hadn't said that their family was rich now, they couldn't just not help the old house at all, as it would be bad for their reputation, then she would definitely not want to give that family a discount even a penny.
old house.
"Soybeans, two cents a pound, do you really want them, brother?" Yang asked in surprise.
"How can this be false? My father is listening!" Lin Dahai said proudly. With 1500 kilograms, he can earn at least 700 coins a day. He, Lin Dahai, is also a person who can make a lot of money!
"Old man, does the boss really want that many soybeans?"
Old Man Lin said with certainty, "He said he wanted as much as he wanted, and I listened to him sincerely."
Li knew that the eldest son must have some profitable business that required soybeans. Alas, it was a pity that the family was divided and she could no longer control her stepson.
"Boss, with 1500 kilograms, our family can earn at least 700 coins a day?" Yang, who had just figured it out, was excited.
Lin Dahai said proudly: "Of course, your man is awesome! You can live a good life with me in the future. When I make money, I will make new clothes for you."
"Hey! It's so nice to be the head of the family."
Song looked at Yang with envy. Lin Dachuan, that damned man, had been so cold to her recently. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law even treated her like a dead person. She was the one who was beaten! Why was she the one who was looked down upon?
"In that case, old man, you will collect beans in the village tomorrow, and Dachuan and Dahai will push the carts out to collect them."
"Mom, I can't push it. Dad said we can rent a bullock cart."
Old man Lin glared. When did he say that? This bastard!
Li refused: "Why rent a bullock cart? Wait until the nearby ones are harvested, then go to the mountain valley to rent a cart. Now, you two push the cart to collect the goods."
Lin Dahai: ...
"Mom, do you want to tire me and my second brother to death? We can't push it!"
"You can't push it. Why can't you push it? Do you think I'm a fool? If you can't push it, deliver the goods once at noon and once in the afternoon. Don't play tricks on me. This is a critical time for your fourth brother. Our family is short of money. You all should behave yourself!" Li said warningly.
The wrinkled inverted triangle eyes looked at everyone and said, "Put away your little thoughts. We haven't divided up yet, so you should honestly hand over the money from selling soybeans to the government."
"Mom, what did you say?"
"Of course, the second and third brothers have worked hard to collect the goods, and the money they earn is divided into three parts. One part is kept for the family, one part is for the fourth brother to study, and one part is divided between your two families and kept as a private collection."
She knew that she would not be able to get by without some sweet treats, and that giving too little would not work. They were all her own children, so what was the relationship between them and the family needing money, and the fourth child taking the imperial examination, so how could they not give it out?
Yang and Song's faces were filled with smiles; being able to get 30% was beyond their expectations. Their mother-in-law was really generous this time.
Sancheng Lin Dahai also felt that he had suffered a great loss. He secretly thought that he would harvest soybeans with his second brother in a few days, and then directly take them to the farm to sell them. Who knows how much he collected! He didn't want to keep as much as he could.
Why should he work so hard to support the fourth brother? By the time he passes the imperial examination, the opportunity will be gone. It would be better for him to hang out with the eldest brother, at least he can see the money right away.
Well, let's do it! He was secretly proud of himself, he was really smart!
The next day, Mr. Lin sat in his yard, borrowed a scale, and prepared to harvest the soybeans.
Soybeans can be fried and eaten as snacks, grown into bean sprouts, and even made into tofu. They can also be harvested in the city and are easy to grow, so every household will plant some in dry land.
The autumn harvest had just passed, and the grain price was low, so everyone was still holding on. Now, the old Lin family actually bought the grain at the highest market price, and didn't even have to deliver it to the city themselves, so there was no reason not to sell it.
Every family pulled a cart to sell beans to the Lin family. For a while, the spacious yard was crowded and noisy.
Mr. Lin weighed and inspected the goods, while Mrs. Lin paid. The two daughters-in-law helped with the carrying. The family worked well together.
"Old Lin, what do you need so many beans for?"
"I collected it for my eldest brother. I'm not sure what it's for."
So that’s what Boss Lin wanted!
The villagers heard that Lin Lao Da had acquired a farm and was now a master. They had not seen him since he moved away. They only heard the people who drank the warm house wine come back and say how big and nice the farm was, how endless the fields were, and how luxurious the house was. They heard that there were gardens and ponds in the house.
They said Wang became a lady and Xiaomi became a young lady. They had servants waiting on them wherever they went. They said the food for the warm house wine was so rich and he had a close relationship with Master Han.
It’s incredible just to think about it. How could Lin Dashan, who was kicked out and couldn’t even fart, become so successful and become the master they fear?
Now he wants the soybeans too, judging by the quantity, it is not too little. I heard that the second and third brothers have gone to the next village to collect the goods, which shows how big the business of Boss Lin is now and how much money he can make.
Incredible ah incredible!
Looking at the old Lin family, I can't help but think, oh, they split up. Or rather, they kicked the eldest son out of the house. Old Li also tortured the other's wife to death. They became rich after the split up, and have nothing to do with the old Lin family.
They lived in a mansion, with servants and maids, but they never brought this family in to live with them. But they heard that the mansion had dozens of rooms.
It can be seen that Lin Dashan doesn't like the old Lin family, but no matter how much he dislikes them, he still thinks of the old house when there is benefit. Isn't the soybean harvesting business in front of him a good business? He is really a kind person.
It was not until the afternoon that the crowd gradually dispersed.
