The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 542 - Getting Ready

Chapter 542: Getting Ready

Translator: Lonelytree 

Lin yuelan had bought 13 maidservants at once. It was as if she had suddenly become a nouveau riche overnight. The news made people envious and jealous.

They already knew that Lin yuelan was rich because she was the granddaughter of Lin Deshan. The Lin medicine shop in the town was now under Lin yuelan’s name. She had become a rich person in one day.

However, they didn’t know that Lin yuelan was so rich.

She had spent a lot of money to buy more than a hundred mu of land from the villagers. To build a big house on this hundred mu of land was even more surprising and shocking. How much money would it cost? It would cost at least four to five thousand taels.

For a farmer to have four to five thousand taels of silver in savings was already very impressive. He could become the richest man in the village.

However, the person who had spent four to five thousand taels could still spend a large sum of money to buy so many servants and maids. This was the enjoyment of a truly rich family.

Lin yuelan was born into a poor family. She was abandoned by her biological parents and cut off from her family. What kind of fortune did she have to enjoy this? This simply made people jealous and hateful.

If one day Lin Deshan suddenly decided not to have his jinx granddaughter and took back everything he had, she might be penniless again. It would be great if that happened.

This was the mindset of the villagers. They could sympathize with a family that was even poorer than them, but they did not want anyone to have a better life than them. To put it bluntly, they were jealous.

At this moment, Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were in the woodshop, continuing their research on rice windmills.

“Do you think it looks like this?” Jiang Zhennan said to Lin yuelan as he held a template in his hands with some excitement.

Lin yuelan took the model and looked at it, from the mouth of the windmill to the handle. After a creak, the dry rice husks and straws came out from the back of the windmill. In front of the handle, there was an exit, which was especially for producing full grains.

Lin yuelan finally nodded in satisfaction. “not bad. This is it.” She turned the small pinwheel over and over again to check it. Then, she continued, ” we can now make a completed rice windmill. ”

In her heart, she muttered, ‘it seems that this masked uncle does have the talent to be a Carpenter. With just this little effort, we’ve managed to create a windmill model.’

She continued, ” after we’re done with the rice mill, we can cart 40-odd stone of rice first and then lend it to Grandpa Li Zheng. I believe that this thing will be as popular as the thres.h.i.+ng machine.”

Hearing Lin yuelan’s praise, Jiang Zhennan’s handsome face turned red. It was unknown whether it was shyness or excitement. He took the model windmill and nodded. “not bad.” This type of rice windmill could filter out all the broken husks and dry leaves. It was much more convenient than using a dustpan to scoop them out manually.

Its effect was as time-saving, labor-saving, and worry-free as a thres.h.i.+ng machine, so it would definitely be very popular with farmers.

At this point, Jiang Zhennan’s blushed and shy expression suddenly became serious again. He said, ” whether it’s a thres.h.i.+ng machine or this kind of windmill, I’m afraid it will attract the attention of the government. It’s more likely to attract the ambitions and inflated desires of those greedy officials, which may cause some trouble in the future.”

In fact, what he was more afraid of was that even if he later announced his ident.i.ty as the defender-general and his relations.h.i.+p with Lin yuelan, he might not be able to protect her well. He might even be used by those parties.

Jiang Zhennan frowned deeply. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to let Lin yuelan continue selling these two things or stop the business.

No matter what, he didn’t want anything to happen to Lin yuelan.

However, Lin yuelan said nonchalantly, ” in the future, we’ll deal with whatever comes our way. If they dare to come, I’ll dare to take them on. I am not afraid of trouble.” She was afraid of trouble, but when trouble came, she would never choose to retreat.

Jiang Zhennan’s expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Looking at Lin yuelan’s beautiful face, which was calm and composed, he felt calm and composed too.
