Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

After the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked into the yard, they put away the backpacks. An Yue hurried to the eaves to get firewood and charcoal, while An Nian ran straight into the main house to drink water.

When grandpa and uncle saw An Yue coming back, they stood up and walked to the scale.

Grandfather said, "This is a new basket. It needs to be weighed again."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai lifted the rope with one hand, looked at the dots on the scale, and read: "The basket weighs three pounds."

Then, just like last time, my uncle and Zhang Dacai lifted the weight, and my grandfather held the scale and read the weight: "Eighty-four pounds."

After weighing, Zhang Dacai and Jiang Chenghai worked together to quickly pour the fish in the basket into the water tank.

After An Yue noted the number, she said, "The fish weighs eighty-one catties, which is one hundred and sixty-two coins."

After hearing the amount of money that An Yue read out, the couple rubbed their hands happily.

An Yue counted out 162 copper coins and handed them to the middle-aged woman.

The woman said excitedly, "Dad, this fish is good for money! We have actually earned more than one tael of silver."

At this time, someone outside the gate came into the yard carrying a bucket of water.

It was Chen Dazhi and his wife, and they brought their two sons with them. The couple each carried two buckets of water, and the two children carried a bucket of fish together on a shoulder pole.

Chen Dazhi's wife, carrying a bucket of water, asked with a smile, "The big fortune has come early! Has it been weighed?"

Zhang Dacai and his wife turned their heads to look at the gate, and the woman replied, "Yes! Your whole family went out, and you caught a lot of fish today!"

After Chen Dazhi and his family entered the yard, his wife gently put down the bucket on her shoulder and reminded her two sons: "Why do you two keep your mouth shut when you see your elders?"

The two boys, who looked about 11 or 12 years old and looked very similar, shouted in unison, "Uncle, uncle, aunt, how are you! Uncle, aunt, how are you!"

Grandmother Zheng smiled and said, "Yin Biao, Tong Biao, I haven't seen you two brothers for a while, but you have grown a lot taller."

Zhang Dacai's wife also echoed: "Yes! The two brothers are almost as tall as adults. If they all join forces, they will catch a lot of fish!"

"You guys continue chatting, we'll go back first." As they said that, Zhang Dacai and his wife were about to pick up the wooden barrel and prepare to go home.

Jiang Chenghai hurriedly called out, "Brother Dacai, can I borrow your big bucket for a day? If the bucket is not enough for the fish delivery tomorrow, I will return it to you in the afternoon."

"Okay, okay, okay! You can use it. I'll come and get it tomorrow when you need it." Zhang Dacai agreed readily.

After saying that, he started to weigh the fish sent by Chen Dazhi.

Chen Dazhi and his family caught a lot of fish, so they had to weigh them in two batches. If they filled the container too full, the fish would jump out.

Grandfather read out the numbers and said, "First time, fifty-seven kilograms."

After An Yue took note, she quickly put the fish into the water tank and then started weighing it for the second time.

"The second time, 85 kilograms."

Chen Dazhi and his uncle Jiang Chenghai poured the fish back into the water tank.

An Yue added up the two jins and subtracted the two jins of the baskets, and said, "The total is 142 jins, minus the jins of the baskets, the total is 272 coins."

When they heard An Yuenian's words, Chen Dazhi and his wife were so happy that their eyes were filled with tears. The two teenagers also jumped for excitement, and the two brothers couldn't help but high-five each other.

Grandfather smiled and said, "Not bad, I have exchanged so much silver in one day. Adding yesterday's money, it should be more than two taels of silver, right?"

An Yue took out one or two taels of silver from her bosom, counted out seventy-two copper coins, and gave them all to Chen Dazhi.

Chen Dazhi took the silver and money with both hands and handed it to his wife, who quickly pulled up her apron to hold it.

Chen Dazhi's wife looked at the heavy silver and money in her apron and was so excited that she wiped away tears.

The two brothers saw their mother crying and hurried forward to wipe her tears, saying, "Don't cry, mother. We have earned so much money, we should be happy."

"Mother is crying not because she is sad, but because she is happy."

The woman had a smile on her face, but tears flowed down her eyes uncontrollably. She reached out and rubbed her two sons' heads.

At this time, she took off the apron around her waist, wrapped the silver and money in the apron, and handed it to Chen Dazhi.

She turned and walked towards An Yue, held An Yue's hand, patted her twice, and said, "Yue Yue, thank you." Then she turned to everyone and said, "Thank you all for your help."

After saying that, he bowed.

The scene was very emotional. An Yue, who was standing aside, was a little overwhelmed and could only reply hesitantly: "No... no need to thank me. Take the money and buy them some clothes!"

The woman smiled and nodded, then raised her arm and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Chen Dazhi cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Ah Hai, do you still need these two buckets of mine?"

"Use it, Brother Dazhi, just leave two large buckets."

After saying that, Chen Dazhi handed the silver and money in his hand to his wife. He picked up his wife's small bucket, while Yinbiao and Tongbiao held the shoulder pole and the other carried the bucket.

The family put away all the farm tools and said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, you guys go ahead and do your work, we will be back soon."

Seeing the family walking out of the yard with joy and laughter, An Yue felt moved and excited just like them...

In this era, being able to help others while ensuring your own interests is simply the ultimate beauty.

An Yue sighed inwardly out of emotion: My life is obviously a mess, but I still have to suffer the pain of this world. Alas... God gave me the opportunity to travel through time, but did not give me the golden finger to save all living beings.

The family sat down and drank a few sips of water. My grandfather was about to take a few puffs of his pipe when he heard the laughter of women outside the gate from afar.

Grandma walked up to them, pointed to the designated spot, and said, "I can hear you guys laughing from afar, what are you so happy about?"

"Sister-in-law, these two crazy women teamed up to bully me. They chased me so hard that many of the fish in my bucket fluttered."

Another woman laughed and said, "Haha... Second sister-in-law, who told you to joke around like that?"

It turned out that the three women were carrying buckets of water and playing and joking along the way. It can be seen that although their lives are poor, they live freely in spirit.

Grandma smiled and patted the women's buttocks, teasing them, "You three are more than a hundred years old in total, why are you still making a fuss like little kids?"

The three women burst into laughter again.

At this time, my uncle and grandfather walked forward and prepared to weigh them one by one.

After An Yue subtracted the weight of the basket, the fish brought by the three women weighed 45 pounds, 42 pounds, and 41 pounds respectively.

After counting the silver and money, he handed it to them. The three of them should be in their thirties, and all of them had rosy faces.
