Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

"Really? Ran girl, don't try to make your uncle happy. Four thousand taels, I wouldn't even dare to think about that in my dreams. If I can earn four or five hundred taels in this lifetime, your uncle will wake up with a smile!"

Li Daqiang smiled and said:

"Uncle, you still don't believe in Ranran? When has she never kept her word? I believe that we will definitely be able to earn thousands of taels of silver in the future!"

Father Shitou said hurriedly: "Of course I believe Ran, but I just thought she was joking with me. After all, we are peasants who have never seen 40 taels of silver before. I can't believe that we can earn 4,000 taels!"

Others also nodded, expressing their disbelief.

But there was a hint of expectation in their eyes when they looked at Qiao Ran.

If I could really earn four thousand taels of silver, how much money would that be? How well-off would my family be?

Seeing everyone looking at her, Qiao Ran nodded heavily and assured them:

"As long as you listen to me, work hard to grow more fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs, raise more poultry and livestock, and dig fish ponds and raise fish if conditions permit, I guarantee that you can earn at least five thousand taels in five years!"

"Wow!"

The crowd was immediately excited.

Within five years! Five thousand taels!

They thought Qiao Ran was talking about how she would earn a total of four thousand taels by the time she died of old age, but unexpectedly, she actually said that she could help them earn five thousand taels within five years!

Five years! In just five years, they would become wealthy families with thousands of taels of silver!

Children can go to academies in the city to study and take the imperial examinations to bring honor to the family. Smart people in the family can also rent a shop in the city to do business. In the future, they can choose other paths and don't have to let their children work hard on farming for the rest of their lives.

But it is impossible for them to leave Qingshui Village. They have to stay in Qingshui Village no matter what.

They firmly believe that only by following Qiao Ran can they have a brighter future.

After resting for a while, Zheng Hui Niang was about to take the women to the backyard to make a simple lunch for everyone to fill their stomachs. After all, everyone was very tired and they could just eat something and then go back to have a good rest.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Chen and several of his assistants came in carrying a dozen lunch boxes.

"Miss Qiao, Steward Zhou heard that you were so busy that you didn't have lunch yet, so he sent me to bring some food over. He also asked me to tell you that our boss is still in the palace and couldn't come to attend the opening of your shop. He is very sorry. The master will probably come to apologize to you later."

Qiao Ran quickly thanked him:

"Thank you and Uncle Zhou! Your prince is too polite. He had no choice. I understand. No need to apologize. I'm really sorry that you came to deliver the meal in person."

"This is what I should do. You're welcome, Miss Qiao! Take your time eating. I'll have someone collect the lunch boxes later."

"Okay, thank you! I'll send the lunch box back to Juxianlou on my way home, so you don't have to make another trip."

"Okay, I'll be leaving now. You guys take your time eating!"

Shopkeeper Chen and his men left again.

Qiao Erhe took Li Daqiang to the backyard and carried over an octagonal table. They moved the shelves around and made room for the table and chairs.

Zheng Hui Niang and several other women opened the lunch boxes, took out the food inside and placed it on the table.

Suddenly, the aroma of steaming food wafted in the air, making everyone, who had been tired all morning, even hungrier.
