Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 22
Fortunately, there was an ox cart, and when I hurried to the dock, I almost missed the boat back to the village.

"Mom, go help dad get something." Jiang Jinyu went back to the house first, while Jiang Mingshun was still guarding by the river.

There were so many things he bought today that he couldn't carry them back alone. He was worried if he had to make two trips, so he asked Jiang Jinyu to go back first and call her mother over to help.

After listening to Jiang Jinyu's words, Bai walked out of the main room and walked out with a pole: "Go inside and watch your brother so that he doesn't fall."

"Okay." Jiang Jinyu nodded. She told Bai Shi Jiang Mingshun's location before entering the room.

Not long after, the two of them brought everything into the house.

Jiang Mingshun sat down and patted his forehead: "I forgot, I should go find a carpenter to come back and make the cabinet first."

He helplessly looked at the cloth and cotton on the table: "There is no place to put these things now."

Jiang Jinyu reminded him from the side: "Dad, have you forgotten? You only managed to survive one piece of wood you chopped today."

"Ahem," Jiang Mingshun coughed twice awkwardly and explained, "Aren't I too excited?"

Bai Shi also thought about it after hearing this: "Did you sell the thing you picked back this morning?"

Seeing the two of them nodding together, she reached out and carefully touched the fabric on the table. It was fine cloth!She had never worn fine cloth clothes when she was still in her hometown, let alone after fleeing to Huangtian Village.

Suddenly coming into contact with such soft fabric, she retracted her hand as if frightened: "How much did you spend?"

Jiang Mingshun picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip of water. After listening to her words, he replied smoothly: "All the five coins I brought out today have been spent."

"I also ordered some green bricks and came back to repair the yard."

It was cheaper than she thought. Bai Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now their family is different from the past. They really can no longer be surprised by everything they see like before.

Mrs. Bai picked up her backpack and prepared to clear the table and set out bowls for dinner.

As soon as she took the backpack, she noticed that the weight was wrong. As expected, she lowered her head and saw that there was more than a sling of money inside.

She asked in surprise: "Didn't you say it was all spent? Why is there still so much money in it?"

"The white fungus I picked this morning..." Jiang Mingshun told Mr. Bai in detail about selling white fungus, and then mentioned what shopkeeper Hao said about the drug store.

Bai was very happy after hearing this. Her idea was that as long as someone buys it, it would be great. Who should I sell it to?

Anyway, this thing can be picked from the tree, and it doesn't take much effort on their part.

Jiang Mingshun said hesitantly: "I'm thinking, we might as well go to the government and buy this hilltop."

Bai Shi was surprised: "Why?"

"There is no airtight wall in the world. Sooner or later, people will know about Tremella. Although no one cares about this mountain now, it will be hard to say in the future." Jiang Mingshun explained.

"What's more, we have many mountains here. There are dozens or hundreds of hills nearby. How can we say that there are white fungus growing on other mountains? We can't monopolize them all. It's better to follow what the clan leader said." He continued to add.

Bai also frowned and sat down to think carefully. She was someone who had escaped from a difficult situation, so she naturally knew how difficult it was to live in this world without the help of relatives and friends.

In this era where clan is more important than justice, Jiang Jinyu understands her father's decision.

But now the family's savings are far from enough to buy the mountain.

Jiang Mingshun immediately decided: "Go pick the white fungus first, sell the money and then buy the mountain top."

Early the next morning, he went into the mountains.The mountain I went to last time was a bit far away from home. If I really wanted to buy it, of course it would be better to buy it from a nearby mountain.

So Jiang Ming picked the mountain closest to his home.

He recalled the trees with white fungus that he had found before, and looked for similar trees based on the appearance in his memory.

Fortunately, maybe the climate and environment here are really suitable for the growth of white fungus. Not long after he walked, he saw several trees with large and small white fungus growing on them.

As Jiang Mingshun climbed up the tree, he mentally calculated how much it would cost to buy the two hills.

Hills are not expensive. One acre of mountain land is cheaper than wasteland. What's more, the two hills combined are probably only thirty or forty acres.

Jiang Mingshun spent a whole day picking white fungus from more than [-] trees. He estimated that the money from the sales should be enough to buy two hills, so he hurried back home.

Just picking it off is not enough, it must be dried in a place out of direct sunlight so that it can be stored for a longer period of time.

The family of three worked hard for two or three days and finally put all the dried white fungus into the jar.

Jiang Jinyu thought of the awkward appearance of washing white fungus two days ago, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed her father: "Dad, let's dig a well in the yard."

Jiang Mingshun thought it made sense. The white fungus must be washed before drying. Instead of going back and forth to the river to fetch water every day, it would be better to dig a well in his own yard, which would also free up his hands to pick more white fungus.

"Okay, I'll go to the city tomorrow to deliver the white fungus and then go find the well digger." Jiang Mingshun nodded in agreement.

Bai took the pink fabric selected by Jiang Jinyu and sat in the yard. She had a sewing box on her lap and gestures with scissors in her hand.

We should have made cotton-padded clothes a long time ago, but our family has been very busy these days. We are picking, washing and drying Tremella fungus, making soap and making sugar. Where do we not need manpower?
As a last resort, I could only push back the making of cotton-padded jackets again and again.

Seeing that the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon.

This is the first festival that the family has moved out, and Jiang Mingshun and Jiang Jinyu are determined to have a good one.

In Huangtian Village, the Double Ninth Festival is not a very important festival.

There is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past, and the Winter Festival and the Chinese New Year in the back. For the Double Ninth Festival sandwiched in the middle, most people just have a slightly richer dinner.

There are also a few people who will invite a few relatives and friends to climb to the highest mountain nearby to experience the feeling of climbing high and looking far.

The Double Ninth Festival is a festival to remember relatives and friends, and to express respect for elders.

Therefore, Jiang Mingshun still planned to give Jiang Yongsheng a gift before the Double Ninth Festival.

Thinking of the festival, Jiang Mingshun struggled a little. Ordinarily, since he had adopted the second house now, he should naturally start living with his uncle's family again.

However, there had been no contact between the two parties for decades, and he still vaguely complained about his uncle's family's ruthlessness in his heart.

When passing by the inn, Jiang Mingshun finally bought a gift and asked the scholar next to him to write a letter and send it to the village where his uncle's family was located.

In any case, this was the first year, and as a junior, he had to express it first. If his uncle's family really didn't want to associate with him anymore, it wouldn't be too late to end it at that time.

The Bai family does not have a natal family, so naturally there is no need to buy wedding gifts.

Jiang Mingshun returned to the village with a pound of pork, a fish, and a pack of snacks he had just bought.
