In the past few years, Widow Li's family has lived on their own two acres of thin land and two acres of rented fields.

In addition, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked day and night to do embroidery work, so they could barely survive.

But this year finally changed.

The Xue family, which was getting richer and richer, began to recruit workers in the village.

At this time, it was the beginning of February, the food saved in the first year had been eaten, and the new year was far from the harvest season, which was the most difficult day for Widow Li's family.

Even if they replaced all the rice grains with the inferior grains after the grain harvest last year, the output of those few acres of land still could not feed their own people.

Suddenly, one day I heard that the Xue family had found a lot of valuable fruits on the mountain, and they needed to recruit someone to peel the fruits.

This is a happy event for Widow Li, who is almost desperate, and God has given her an extra way to live.

In the next few days, he went to Xue's house every day to inquire about the situation.

After determining the recruitment date of the Xue family, early that morning, before dawn, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took their granddaughter and their own guys to line up outside the courtyard of the Xue family.

At this time, Xue Langjing and the others had not yet gotten up in the morning to exercise, and they were the only villagers who came.

It seems that today's work is stable, although the three of them shivered in the cold wind, they could only hug each other to keep each other warm, but their hearts were lit with hope for life.

Gradually, villagers came with tools, but they were all behind them.

On this day, Widow Li's mother-in-law and granddaughter peeled a total of 200 catties of green fruits in exchange for 16 yuan from the Xue family.

The two of them can earn more than a dozen dollars a day, which was unthinkable in the past.

Sixteen pennies are equivalent to sixteen catties of multigrain noodles.

As long as they save some food, it is enough for their family of three to eat for several days.

In order to grab time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not wear handguards, they both stripped them with their bare hands, and only let their granddaughter wear them.

In the days to come, after peeling the fruit, they will try to strive for other tasks.

And this Xue family is also kind-hearted, looking at their family, the old and weak, women and children, and taking good care of them.

Xue Jiaguang tossed this batch of pecans for more than 20 days, allowing them to earn more than 300 yuan.

With this money, they can save some money and barely survive until the day of the harvest.

What's even more fortunate is that the Xue family just finished processing the pecans, and soon hired people to reclaim the mountains and forests.

When the time comes, if they fight for it, it will be another income, and the life of the family will be much better.

With a little money in their hands, they also endured the pain and luxury this year, and bought some discarded pu shells that had been dried from the Xue family and brought them back to warm the house.

Although this thing stained the hands of all three of their family black, it was as good as a charcoal fire, which could bring warmth to their homes.

And the price given by the Xue family is extremely cheap, far more cost-effective than the charcoal fire.

Not only them, but also many other families bought a lot of them from the Xue family and went back to use them as charcoals.

At this time, the weather is still extremely cold, especially when their dilapidated house is still leaking everywhere.

In the winter of previous years, they all survived the biting cold, and the family of three lived on a bed of stiff quilts.

Now that they have finally earned some more money, they can be luxurious and warm up in the spring, so they are naturally grateful to the Xue family.

Actually, it's not that they want to be extravagant.

If it was only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they would really be reluctant to use 'charcoal'.

Isn't there a seven or eight-year-old girl at home?

Such a small baby, since the infancy, has been following them every day to suffer from freezing, and the little people's hands, faces, and soles of their feet are covered with chilblains, which makes them feel really uncomfortable as elders.

Every winter, they are afraid that the only female doll will not survive, so they completely lose their thoughts.

Now that life is finally better, seeing that a full stomach is no longer a problem, I have some ability, and let my granddaughter live a better life.

In the days to come, as long as the Xue family recruits workers, they basically don't miss it.

This year, he also earned more than two taels of silver from the Xue family.

During the Chinese New Year, they finally bought a pound of meat extravagantly, plus two catties of meat sent by the Xue family to their family, a total of three catties of meat, and some New Year's goods sent by the Xue family to eat.

This year is the best year in their family since the man is gone.

Of course, during the New Year's holidays, they will also make a wish to the Bodhisattva, hoping that the Xue family will continue to be prosperous, and they will also be able to earn silver every year.

Two taels of silver a year, converted into miscellaneous grains, is two thousand catties, plus the harvest of their own fields, enough for their family of three to eat and clothe themselves, and they can also have a little extra money.

There are many more people like Widow Lee.

If the poor people in the family work harder, the harvest will be no worse than that of the old and weak women and children in this family.

The words were a little far away, talking to the Xue family.

The end of the year has arrived, and after a busy year, the Xue family has also summarized the harvest of the past year.

Not to mention the rest, in just these few months, there is a lot of income.

A batch of pecans brought them an income of five or six hundred taels of silver, as well as income from farms, ponds, and medicinal herbs.

Of course, the biggest harvest at the moment is still hunting.

These incomes added up, not only allowed Xue Langjing to pay off Zheng Linchu's debt of 2,000 silver, but also saved 2,100 taels of silver.

In addition to silver, the biggest 'asset' in her name now is this hunting team.

After another year of expansion, the Xue Hunting Team already has twenty-six members, all of whom are Enlightenment Spirits, not to mention that Xue Langjing has also equipped them with the best equipment.

The others are two houses, 2,000 acres of fruit forests, a breeding farm, and several ponds.

With so many properties under her name, she seems to be not far from becoming the landlord of Zhaojia Village.

And there is a big stack of silver tickets in the cash box at home.

If it were exchanged for silver, I would probably count the money until my hands cramped.

Isn't this the case with this ordinary landlord's house?

Well, it's time for the New Year after counting the silver.

The Xue family has such a large population, and the silver in their hands is enough, so this year is naturally lively.

During the Chinese New Year last year, there were still only the Xue family members at home, and the team members all went home for the New Year.

But this year, all the team members stayed in their Xue family for the New Year.

In fact, not all the team members chose to be in the Xue family at the beginning.

For example, several members of the hunting team who have only joined the hunting team in the last half a year, except for Wu Ping'er, who was sold by her mother's family and her mother-in-law's family, others are still quite nostalgic for their mother's family, and they naturally want to go back if they can celebrate the New Year at home.

But most of the other team members didn't want to go back to their mother's house where they had sold themselves.

Seeing that Wu Ping'er decided to celebrate the New Year at the Xue family, they also stayed to celebrate the New Year with their sisters.

Now in their eyes, the sisters who get along with each other every day are closer than the so-called relatives of their mother's family who sold themselves, and if they want to celebrate the New Year with their relatives, then these sisters are more like relatives. There are also members of the Xue family, who eat in the same courtyard every day, and they get along for a long time and are closer than their mother's family.

It doesn't seem bad to stay in the Xue family for the New Year, and there are many 'relatives' who accompany them.

They became the majority.

Most of them chose to stay in the Xue family, and the team members who originally planned to go back had to think about it.

I'm new here, and now I'm one of the few people who have gone home, isn't it unsociable to do this?

Aren't these sisters the ones who will be with me the longest in the future?
