Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 4: Don’t let my wife suffer anymore



"What did you remember?"

Chen Xiulan turned to look at him and asked.

"I remembered that there were morels in that place." Lin Heng realized that he had lost his temper and quickly made an excuse.

"Then go uphill and look for it. Don't let others pick it. It's only eighty-nine cents per pound." Chen Xiulan nodded and said, anything that can be sold for money is reluctant to be eaten by oneself.

But in fact, what Lin Heng was thinking of was a dog. He remembered that just recently in May, that is, next month, someone picked up a two-month-old wolfdog cub behind the school in the town.

When the dog grew up, he was very spiritual and seemed to be able to understand human speech. He made a lot of money for a mountain driver named Li in the town, looking for truffles, catching foxes, sables, rabbits, wild boars and other prey.

The man was so happy that he said it to everyone he met every time he went to the market. Unfortunately, when the dog got old, he was ruthlessly sold to a dog dealer by that guy.

Fortunately, my memory became very good after my rebirth, so I was able to recall such a small thing.

Lin Heng decided to cut off this smart big wolfdog, buy an air rifle or a bow and arrow, and hunt in the mountains to earn his first pot of gold.

In his previous life, he got bored and joined a bow and arrow club to practice archery, and he also knew how to use an air rifle.

In the 1980s, guns and hunting were not allowed. Traveling in the mountains was a good way to make a fortune.

There are many ways to make a fortune in my mind. I remember which piece of land will be demolished later, where a highway will be built in the future, where I can make a fortune, and what items will increase in price in the future.

But the problem is that without money, without the first pot of gold, knowing these things is useless.

Unless you are willing to resell goods, reselling goods across provinces has been very profitable in the past two years, but Lin Heng is unwilling and does not want to leave his family.

So I decided to go hunting in the mountains and then take the road of breeding. I can get rich without being separated from my family. After I have money, I can slowly expand my business and there is no rush.

He was reborn with a broad vision that is not available in this era. He takes his time and does not need to rush for success. His wife and children are more important than his family.

"Let's go up the mountain. Did you just say there are morels there?"

Chen Xiulan gave Lin Heng a small bamboo basket, took the child from his arms, and looked at him with a pair of big bright eyes.

Seeing that Lin Heng didn't move, she pushed again: "Why are you so stunned?"

Lin Heng came back to his senses, looked at his wife and smiled slightly: "Nothing, I just found that the more I look at you, the more beautiful I am."

My wife, Chen Xiulan, has regular features and delicate eyebrows. She cannot be said to be absolutely beautiful, but she can definitely be called beautiful.

At first glance, it may seem ordinary, but the more you look at it, the longer you look at it, the better it becomes.

When I think about my previous life, I didn’t cherish it at all. It’s really a blessing that I don’t know how to be blessed with.

Chen Xiulan felt embarrassed and turned around and left: "I keep saying some unseemly things, so hurry up and pick mushrooms."

But she felt a little happy in her heart. After getting married, Lin Hengke never said that she was pretty.

Lin Heng went into the house and took a machete. Before leaving, he saw the slingshot he had placed on the wall. It was a toy he had made before.

I haven't touched him in the past few years. I spent the whole day wandering around the city with some friends I met in the village and town, not doing my job.

After thinking about it, he picked it up and stuck it on his waist, then locked the door, threw the key in a fixed place in the pile of firewood outside, and quickly caught up with his wife.

At this time, my wife had just walked to the courtyard of the Liu family next door when she was stopped by Li Caifeng, the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, to chat.

"Xiulan, you have to go up the mountain with your baby on your back. It's really hard on you. Our family never lets me do this!"

On the surface, Li Caifeng was caring about Chen Xiulan, but in fact, she was showing off and showing off her sense of superiority.

There were no entertainment facilities in this era, and rural women loved comparison.

"It's not heavy, I can carry it very well." Chen Xiulan said lightly, "At least my family won't go crazy with alcohol."

Li Caifeng opened her mouth and suddenly didn't want to speak. She knew that Chen Xiulan was mocking her for being beaten by her husband.

"Xiulan, you have good taste. What do you think of the clothes I'm wearing? I just like that. I'm lucky. I killed a fox a few days ago and sold the skin to buy it for me."

Li Caifeng changed the topic again, pulling on the striped red floral shirt she just bought and said with a smile.

"These clothes are too expensive now. I even negotiated the price for a long time and refused to sell them for less than two yuan. I said I wouldn't buy them, but my friend finally bought them for me."

Li Caifeng couldn't close her mouth, and she was so happy when she saw Chen Xiulan's patched clothes.

"It's okay, it's quite beautiful. I'm going to pick mushrooms, so I won't talk about it anymore." Chen Xiulan said casually and left.

Lin Heng's voice came from behind: "It's just so-so. These clothes only cost one yuan in the city. You don't look good in them, Caifeng."

Li Caifeng was very fat. She looked like a flowery hen in this dress. Lin Heng couldn't bear to be angry with his wife.

These words made Li Caifeng instantly unhappy. She glanced at Lin Heng and teased: "Then why don't you buy one for your Xiulan? She will definitely look good in it."

"He bought me others to keep at home." Chen Xiulan said this and pulled Lin Heng away quickly.

"Then I'll go see what style yours is another day..."

Chen Xiulan left, but Li Caifeng was still looking weird behind her. She knew that Chen Xiulan couldn't afford it, so it was a lie at first glance.

"Why did you provoke her? Another day, she will spread the news again and the whole village will know about it. Just bear with it and it will be over!"

Chen Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said helplessly.

All women in the village were like this, and she had long been used to it.

"Don't be afraid. I'll buy you a better one another day. It just so happens that you don't have any clothes." Lin Heng said with a smile, and he would never let his wife suffer any injustice in this life.

"No need. I can still wear some of the items I have at home after repairing them. Save the money to buy necessities." Chen Xiulan shook her head and said.

"Don't worry, our family will be rich soon. I will make money. There is no need to save so much. Clothes are necessities."

Lin Heng assured.

"Also, don't you want to go back to your parents' home? I will take you back during the Chinese New Year this year." Lin Heng continued.

His wife Chen Xiulan was not from Nanping County, but from Lushui County next door. Although they were both from Taibai City, the two families were so far apart that Chen Xiulan only went back to her parents' home once after they got married.

After the family was separated in her previous life, she didn't even have the chance to return to her parents' home because of the heavy burden on her family.

Before her death, she never went back to her parents' home more than ten times. Every time she went, she borrowed money to pay for food.

She was often insulted by her brothers and felt that she deserved it. She was disobedient and insisted on marrying Lin Heng.

This later became a knot in Lin Heng's heart that could not be eliminated for the rest of his life.

He met Chen Xiulan at the Lushui County Fair next door. Her casual promise was taken seriously, and she married into his family despite her family's objections.

As a result, he failed to let her live a good life and suffered a lifetime of hardship, so that he regretted and blamed himself for the rest of his life.

Chen Xiulan turned to look at Lin Heng and felt that he was extra considerate today: "I don't ask you to make a lot of money, as long as you can stay at home with me and live a good life."

This kind and honest woman has such simple and unsophisticated wishes.

Lin Heng didn't know what to say. He just felt that whatever he said would be too light. He exhaled and looked at her and said, "Carry the child for a while."

"I can carry it!" Chen Xiulan continued walking, looking around, looking for the fungus.

"I'll do it if I say it. You've carried it long enough." Lin Heng insisted, walking over to pick up his daughter.

Chen Xiulan glanced at him and reluctantly gave her daughter to him.
