The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 30 A cheap name makes a living

"Is there anything more comfortable?"

The shopkeeper understood that they wanted something better. "Yes, we have this kind of satin. It's smooth and fine, woven from fine linen and silk. It's comfortable, and there are many colors available."

Lin Yan touched it and found it was indeed much smoother. "What price range is this?"

"One foot of cloth (about 31 centimeters) costs fifty cash, and one bolt of cloth (1.4 meters x 13.2 meters) costs two taels of silver."

"How much fabric does it take to make a garment?" Lin Yan didn't know how to make clothes, so she could only ask the shopkeeper.

"About nine feet of cloth is enough for an adult, and seven feet is enough for a child."

"Okay, let me check the color again!"

The shopkeeper pointed to the colors on the counter and showed them to her. "Lotus root brown is suitable for men, fish white and cyan are suitable for young men. For a lady, you can buy lilac or rouge purple. For you, young lady, you can choose light purple for a lighter color, or you can choose water red if you like bright colors."

In the end, Lin Yan chose to buy brown for her father, lilac for her mother, and cyan for Lin Yu himself, saying it was dirt-resistant. Lin Yan then chose a light purple.

After spending one and a half taels of silver, Lin Yan took out her savings and thought to herself: This money really went by quickly!

The siblings left the fabric shop and finally headed back. Lin Yan looked at the bamboo baskets she and Lin Yu had filled to the brim, and led Lin Yu to a secluded spot to put the items into her spatial storage.

"Dong, where are the things?!" Lin Yu was stunned. "You made them disappear?!"

"Yes, it's been sent home!"

"Huh?! How do I get this home? Is the spiritual power that strong?"

"Hahahaha, Ah Yu, I was just kidding. I just put it away." Lin Yan burst into laughter at Lin Yu's joke.

The siblings chatted and laughed as they walked to the crossroads to wait for Uncle Li's donkey cart to arrive, only to find Chen Fang also waiting there with a basket.

Seeing the siblings approaching, Chen Fang rolled her eyes and pursed her lips.

Lin Yan also saw her. She didn't want to get too close to her, but there was only one shady spot there, so she pulled Lin Yu over there anyway.

When Chen Fang saw the two women approaching, she squinted at their baskets and saw that they were empty. She burst out laughing.

"Hey, you two, are you all sold out? Didn't you make any money? Want to buy something?"

Hearing her words, Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her, while Lin Yan smiled and neither of them said a word.

"Tsk tsk tsk, poor thing, having to find ways to earn money to support the family at such a young age! Unlike my children, who are all pampered."

Chen Fang lifted the coarse cloth covering the basket and pointed to a piece of yellow linen inside. "This is money my husband gave me to buy some fabric to make a new dress. Ah! Luckily, I didn't marry Lin Hai back then, otherwise I don't know what kind of hard life I would be living now!"

Then, she looked at Lin Yu pitifully, took out two pieces of candy from the basket, and showed them off to Lin Yu, "These are the candies I bought for my Er Gou!"

"Ergou? Is that your dog? Isn't it a bit much to give a dog candy?" Lin Yan was also surprised. "Even if you're living a good life, you don't need to buy candy for your dog. It's not about whether it's worth it or not, it's just that too much of it is bad for the dog."

"You, you, how dare you speak like that!" Chen Fang's face darkened.

Lin Yu quickly pulled her aside, his eyes wide: "Sis, sis, stop talking! Er Gou must be talking about her son!"

"Son! Cough cough cough cough, I'm sorry, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!" Lin Yan was indeed quite embarrassed; she really didn't mean anything by it.

I never expected that people in the village liked to give each other such humble names. I thought she really meant "dog." But then again, I wonder if I have such a name too!

"Okay, okay, Auntie, I understand. You're doing well, you're doing the best!" Lin Yan nodded, suppressing a laugh.

He glanced at Lin Yu, then pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh, his expression complex.

Chen Fang glanced at her and shook her head. Hearing Lin Yan say that, she was clearly very satisfied.

"Heh!" A laugh came from beside them, and the three of them looked over to see that Ge Chunyue had returned.

Lin Yan and Lin Yu greeted her as "Auntie." Ge Chunyue nodded and looked at Chen Fang, "Chen Fang, you're not bullying that child again, are you?"

"Tch, we're just chatting, what's it to you?!"

"It has nothing to do with me, but I just enjoy seeing you make a fool of yourself!"

"Ge Chunyue!!" Chen Fang shouted angrily.

Lin Yan thought to herself: These two don't seem to get along. Could it be that they have some past troubles?

The group chatted and joked until everyone was present, and then Uncle Li arrived with his cart before they began their journey home.

On the way back, Uncle Li asked, "How was your business today? I see your baskets are all empty."

"Hehe, we've finished buying everything!" Lin Yu said with a grin.

"Hmph! What's the use of selling them all! How much money can we make!" Chen Fang sneered.

"Chen Fang, let's talk about your past!" Ge Chunyue said quietly from behind.

"Are you never going to stop?!" Chen Fang's face was extremely ugly, but she didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that Ge Chunyue would spread her gossip to everyone, so she could only shut up dejectedly.

…………

When Lin Yan and Lin Yu returned home, they asked Lin's father if he knew Chen Fang. Lin's father looked confused and asked, "Chen Fang?"

Lin's mother: "Chen Fang!"

"Hmm?" Lin Yan glanced at her mother meaningfully, thinking to herself: This is what happens when the person involved doesn't remember you, but the rival does. Tsk tsk tsk.

"Did you run into Chen Fang?" Lin's mother asked quickly.

"Who is Chen Fang?" Lin's father was still wondering.

"Oh, I ran into her on the way to town. She didn't seem to like me and my sister very much." Lin Yu looked at his mother, then at his father.

"Hmph! Does she need to like it?" Lin's mother sneered.

Lin Yan and Lin Yu raised their eyebrows simultaneously, exchanged a glance, their expressions playful, and remained silent.

"Who exactly is Chen Fang? Why doesn't she like you?!" Lin's father kept asking, still unable to recall who Chen Fang was.

Lin's mother gave him a cold look: "What business is it of yours who Chen Fang is! Do you care that much?!"

"Uh..." Lin's father also sensed that his wife's tone was off. He glanced at his two children and saw them pursing their lips, trying not to laugh, and winking at him.

He quickly changed his mind: "I don't want to know anymore!" Then he lowered his head and hurried to do his work.

Lin's mother snorted at him, then smiled and said to her two children, "How was your trip to town this time?"

"Mother, all our dried fruit is sold out! We made more than two strings of cash!" Lin Yu said excitedly.

"So many!" Lin's mother was also surprised. As for apricot trees, some families in this village also planted one or two, but the fruit they bore was mediocre, and no one in the village sold or bought them.

The villagers mainly use their money to fill their stomachs; satisfying their appetites is secondary. Things are better in town, at least there are fruit shops, and surprisingly, dried fruit sells quite well.

"Are there still many fruits on the tree? Let's pick them all and dry them." Since Lin Yan's dried fruit was so popular, Lin's mother thought she should make more.

"Well, Ah Yu and I can handle it. The season for these fruits to ripen is almost over, and they won't be available for much longer."

"Too."

"However, Mother, we need a drying rack for fruit; using only a bamboo mat is still a bit inconvenient."

What kind do you want?

"It's the kind used for drying medicinal herbs!" Lin Yan drew a rough shape on the ground with a stick. It was a multi-tiered tripod, with a bamboo winnowing basket on each tier.

Lin's mother nodded, "This is easy. Have your father set up the frame, and I'll make the winnowing baskets for drying. It'll be done in no time!"

Then he turned to Lin's father and called out, "Lin Hai! Come and get to work!"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, grabbed Lin Yu, and ran off: "Mom! Let's go pick apricots!"
