Transmigrated Farmgirl’s Scheme to Get Rich

led mister in front of Mr.
Tian made Cao Zhang a little embarrassed, “Yan’er, why are you being so courteous? You’ve always called me by my name in the past.
After all, I’m your brother’s classmate.”

“But she’s not a child anymore.
She’s grown up now, she needs to be more courteous!”

The one who spoke up was Lu Junming, who placed a small string of coins in Mo Yan’s hand.

Cao Zhang nodded slightly and said, “Yan’er, keep the fan.
I still have plenty at home.”

Lu Junming handed the fan back to him, then said to Mo Yan, “I also have many fans like this.
I’ll give one to you tomorrow.”

Mrs.
Liang had come over at some point.
She took the copper coins from Mo Yan’s hand and handed them back to Lu Junming, “Young Master Lu, we can’t accept that much money.
I’m sorry, but we can’t accept the fan either! A girl shouldn’t accept something from a boy.”

Lu Junming took back the coins and clutched them in his palm tightly before turning around to leave.

Mrs.
Liang then turned towards Cao Zhang with a smile on her face, “Mr.
Cao, I’d appreciate it if you lent Yan’er your fan for a while.”

Cao Zhang handed the fan back to Mo Yan, “Mrs.
Liang, you can just call me Zhang’er.”

Mrs.
Liang smiled and nodded at him, “That’s hardly polite!” She looked extremely dignified, a far cry from what she usually is.

Mo Ling pulled her sister away from the threshing field as Mr.
Tian moved the table back to the school with Cao Zhang.
The crowd dispersed, and Mrs.
Liang went back home with the wheat her daughter had gotten them that night.

Mo Yan and Mo Ling lay on the kang as they talked about gathering herbs to sell.
Most people in the village were illiterate, much less knew about herbs, and no one had ever thought of gathering them and selling them for money.”

“Can these really be sold for money?” Mo Ling asked.

“All of them have medicinal properties, so of course they can be sold for money.”

“Don’t go to the fields tomorrow.
Let’s go and gather some herbs secretly, so no one else knows about this.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to gather any!”

“Ok! We should go search for them at the pond first.
Not many people go there, and we can also check on the ducks too.”

“Let’s do that then!”

Both sisters were tired and quick fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Mo Ling got up at the crack of dawn to make breakfast.
Mrs.
Liang had woken up even earlier, having already cooked some soybeans and taken them out to the courtyard to dry in preparation to make soybean paste.

At the kitchen table, Mrs.
Liang asked Mo Ling, “What are you planning to do today?” [1]

“Mo Yan and I are going to gather medicinal herbs.
Mr.
Cao says they can be sold for money.”

Mo Ling was afraid of her objecting, so she used Mr.
Cao’s name.

“In all the years I’ve lived in the village, I’ve never heard anyone say there are any medicinal herbs here!”

Mo Yan spoke up proudly, “I’m not mistaken.
Mr.
Cao himself told me about the medicinal herbs that grow around the village.
He even lent me a book on medicinal herbs.”

“Ok, go then! Teach me about these medicinal herbs when you return too!”

After eating, Mo Ling took a backpack and Mo Yan took a basket as they left their home.
Both of them carried small sickles to harvest the medicinal herbs.

Mrs.
Liang came out with a broom in her hand, saying, “Don’t tell anyone about this!”

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
As always, their mum was a shrewd person and would always try to avoid any losses.

Post-edit note: Wait, two chapters in consecutive days? Your platypus translator was pretty productive today, so this happened.
Also, there will be a subtitle for each chapter from here on out, because I just realised they all had them.
Sorry!
[1] I’m not an actual farmer, but I’m pretty sure they had to go down to the field every day? Maybe green beans and sorghum don’t need as much maintenance when harvesting.
