After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Dayang Village, Jiangzhou Prefecture.

The mountains in the distance blocked the rising sun, leaving only a patch of white sky and this small village in this world.

Before the sun rises, the whole village begins to bustle. Fireworks are lit from the chimneys of each house early in the morning, and sleeping children are woken up by adults patting their butts.

Today is the last day of the massive potato harvest.

The potatoes from other families in Dayang Village had been collected yesterday, leaving only the Bai family with dozens of acres of potato fields that had not been dug.

Last night, Grandma Bai made the decision to invite everyone in the village to help, but the way the wages were settled was different.

In the past, wages were settled based on a day’s work, but today they are settled directly based on work results. Each family brings their own tools, and the sacks are provided by the government.

Each family that fills a sack can earn 20 cents in wages, with no upper limit.

That is to say, if your family can fill five bags of potatoes, you can earn one hundred coins. If the whole family can fill fifty bags of potatoes, you can earn one or two taels of silver.

One tael of silver is the income of a family for one day. This income is considered a high salary in the entire Dayang Village, or even in the entire Jiangzhou.

Even though the villagers in Dayang Village are now rich from selling potatoes, they will not refuse this huge temptation.

What’s even more exciting is that the whole family can earn money together. There’s no need to worry about the children at home running around. You can just take them to the fields to dig potatoes. It’s close to home, so it’s convenient to bring the whole family along.

Children can earn money together with adults, which was rarely the case in the past.

Because of this, this should be considered the busiest morning in Dayang Village. Selling potatoes makes the wallets full, and the grain bags in the kitchen at home are not light either.

In order to roll up their sleeves and work hard today, the kitchens of every household are unexpectedly lively. The pickled meats that people usually don't want to cook are taken out to feed the laborers in the family so that they have the strength to work.

It was not even the morning hour yet, but many families had already started getting dressed.

At this time, the city gate had just been opened, and the officials and drivers who came to collect potatoes were still on their way, but there was no need to wait until they arrived before working on the potatoes in the fields. It was a good opportunity to dig some out in advance so that the officials could start working right away.

Everyone in the Bai family knew that everyone was eager to make money, so they got up early and washed up.

Today, all the members of the Bai family are out in action. This is the only official holiday after so many days of practicing martial arts to start a one-day busy farming season.

Several girls could already read, so Bai's mother took them to record the number of potatoes each family had packed, so that it would be convenient to settle their wages later.

It seems like an easy job, but whose potatoes are filled to the brim, and whose are filled to 80% full with some tricks, all need to be checked by Bai's mother.

It is relaxed and has a bit of social skills, which is also a good opportunity for the children in the family who don't go out often to see the different faces of people.

The boys were led by Bai Yi and followed their father to the fields to dig potatoes as usual, and to exercise their arm strength at the same time. Although they were only in their teens, after Bai Yi's training over this period of time, the arm strength of the boys had obviously improved, and now was the time to test it.

As for Grandpa Bai and Butler Xie, they pulled their family's ox cart and joined the ranks of those pulling potatoes, and they would also be able to receive wages from the government in due time.

Because other people in Dayang Village were on the road to escape, many of their families also had ox carts, and today they also joined the team to haul goods.

There is no need to worry about confidentiality, as everyone in Dayang Village knows the importance of the matter.

This is also because the number of potatoes today must be the largest in the past few days. Because everyone had to take care of their own land first in the past period of time, the potatoes were scattered and could not be collected so quickly.

Today, all the hundreds of acres of land connected to the Bai family are directly moved to the truck for weighing and loading after being calculated by Bai's mother and others, forming an almost uninterrupted flow operation.

It was a great test for the working speed of government officials and the transportation of potatoes.

At the first hour of the morning, the villagers took their families to the fields, stepping on the first ray of dawn in the sky, and facing the last breeze of late spring, they began the day's work.

Each family had acres of land staggered together, and suddenly the continuous land was crowded with people, making it very lively.

The Bai family was also not vague. Bai's mother brought a few children to set up tables and chairs on the other side of the Bai family's courtyard wall early in the morning. They prepared account books on them and were ready to record the situation of each family at any time.

Soon, each family began to carry the first bag of potatoes over one after another, and several girls sat up straight and started their work for the day.

Xiao Yan frowned, his legs dangling in the air on the high chair, looking up at the boy in front of him who was only five years older than Bai Qingshan, and said seriously: "Big brother, every bag of potatoes should be full, yours is still a little short, I'll keep a record for you first, and when you fill a little more in your bag later, put it evenly in this bag, and I'll keep a record for you!"

"Now put this bag of potatoes against the wall behind me, and don't block other people behind me."

The boy blushed at what the little man said, and said with a stiff face, "Little sister, just remember this for me. I will definitely fill the next bag of potatoes full, so I don't have to make another trip."

"No!" Xiao Yan shook his head, his face full of determination and unquestionableness: "This is unfair to the uncles and aunts who are still working over there."

She pointed with her short arm, her eyes cold and calm, "Look, everyone is working hard. If we allow big brother to do this, and everyone comes, will we still need to dig the potatoes in the field?"

"Since you are here to work, you should abide by the rules. If you don't want to, I will give you twenty cents for this bag, and you and your family should find a job somewhere else!"

"We can't afford you!"

"You..." The boy rolled up his sleeves even higher, as if he wanted to have a good talk.

But just as he was about to show his strength, he was stopped by a woman in her forties.

The man lifted the front of his linen shirt, walked over with the full bag of potatoes, and swiftly poured them into the half-filled bag. He said to Bai's mother with apologetic words, "Sister Bai, I'm sorry. The child is ignorant. I will teach him a lesson right now."

"You little bastard, you only know how to use your clever tricks. I've told you so many times not to go to the capital city and just hang out there and learn some useless things."

The woman's palm covered in wet mud mercilessly slapped the boy's head on the back, causing the boy, who was originally standing straight, to bend his head suddenly, leaving a palm-sized mud mark behind his neatly combed hair.

The woman's eyes turned, and she quickly glanced at Bai's mother and Xie Shu'er and others beside her with an apologetic look, and then started her Mud Palm Technique again.

The man was beaten back step by step by such a merciless palm technique. The sound was heard from near to far, but the last sentence could still be heard: "Do you think Xiaoyan is easy to fool just because he is young? Let me tell you, he studies and practices martial arts at home..."

Until the two figures walked towards the distant fields, no one mentioned asking their family to leave.
