Transmigration: To Be His Man - Chapter 163 Third Elder Lei Fourth Elder Lei and Fifth Elder Lei

Although Lei Xiangren and Madame Zhao were both loathsome, the villagers did not expect the two of them to end up like this. Pitiful Big Treasure and Er Bao had already lost their parents at such a young age.

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee could only invite their eldest uncle’s mother to manage the Zhao Family’s funeral, as they quickly wrote a letter to report the news to the capital. It was more than ten days after they received the reply.

The letter was written by Lei Xiangzhi, and it was not easy for Lei Xiangzhi to complete it in the capital.

After Lei Daqiang and the Madam Du found out about what happened to Lei Xiangren, they got Lei Xiangzhi to write a letter to them, telling them to buy Lei Xiangren out. Lei Xiangzhi did not do as he was told. He believed that letting Lei Xiangren stay in prison for a few years was a good thing, and that maybe he would be taught a lesson after suffering a little. If Lei Xiangren made progress after two or three years, he would think of another way. After considering it over with with Madam Du, Lei Daqiang decided to listen to his youngest son’s words. After all, they had to rely on their youngest son to support them, not their second son. Lei Daqiang and Madam Du only spoke a few words of lamentation for the Zhao Family’s death without explaining anything. As for Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao, Lei Daqiang and Madam Du meant for Lei Xiangyi to adopt them. Lei Xiangzhi apologized for this matter. In the letter, he admitted that he had not been able to stand firm in the capital. He did not care about Big Treasure and Er Bao and sent twenty silver back.

Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee didn’t want to adopt Da Bao and Er Bao. It wouldn’t be a problem to raise the two children, but it was a huge responsibility to teach them how to be adults. Da Bao and Er Bao’s personalities had long been spoiled by Lei Xiangren and Madam Du. Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee admitted that they did not have the ability to pull them back, and they were even worried that Da Bao and Er Bao would invisibly bring about a negative impact to their children. Humans all had their own selfish motives.

The two brothers discussed for a while, then wrote to Lei Xiangzhi, explaining their worries. While waiting for Lei Xiangzhi’s reply, the two brothers did not bring Da Bao and Er Bao back. They only brought them three meals a day and urged them to go to the Academy. In terms of food and clothes, the two brothers did not treat Da Bao and Er Bao badly. What their children had, Da Bao and Er Bao definitely had. However, Lei Dabao and Lei Er Bao had not realised it yet. They did not have the protection of Lei Xiangren and the Zhao Clan anymore, and did not have the qualifications to act rashly. They were even slightly dissatisfied with the food and started to curse at Madam Qian and Sun family. They learnt 90% of the Zhao family, which made Lei Xiangyi and his wife feel even more unsatisfied towards them.

Not long after, Lei Xiangzhi replied. Lei Daqiang and Madam Du asked Lei Xiangyi to send Da Bao and Er Bao back to the Zhao Family. Lei Tia, Lei Xiangyi, Lei Xianglee and Da Bao would pay two silver coins each year to the Zhao Family until Da Bao turned sixteen.

As Da Bao and Er Bao’s blood uncle, it was natural for Lei Xiangyi and Da Bao to give some money to help their children grow up. The two of them had no objections, but they did not raise the matter of money to Qin Mian and Da Bao.

The two of them took some time to go to Precinct Head’s place to explain how they were going to take Big Treasure and Er Bao back to the Zhao Family. Lei Xiangren’s house, if it could be rented out, then it would be rented out. Lei Xiangren’s family’s property was also rented out, and the money would also go to Da Bao and Er Bao, and they would return it to them after the two grow up. I have to trouble Precinct Head to bear witness to all of these matters.

Mrs Zhao’s family did not have a branch family, they did not agree to adopt Da Bao and Er Bao, but when they heard that there were six taels of silver per year, they agreed.

After Big Treasure and Er Bao were sent away, the matters with the Lei Xiangren family were all settled.

After a few days, Lei Xianglee came to Qin Mian Family to borrow money, and pla

ed to open a grocery store in his home.

Qin Mian was extremely supportive of this. Previously, he had discovered that Lei Xianglee had a business mind, but looking at it now, it was indeed so. These few years, because of the existence of Processing Factory, the living conditions of the villagers were much better than before. Every now and then, they would spend money to buy some side dishes to add to the dishes on the table; many villagers were willing to give their children one or two copper coins from time to time, and when the seller came, they could buy some snacks to eat. In addition, some villagers from nearby villages also came to Processing Factory to work. Therefore, it was indeed profitable for Lei Xianglee to open a general store in the village.

Qin Mian generously lent Lei Xianglee twenty silver and imparted some business knowledge to him.

Lei Xianglee was quite knowledgeable. After ten days, the gift shop opened and sold the things that villagers often used, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, sugar, wine, needles, thread, and so on. There were also some side dishes, such as fried peanuts, fried beans with oil salt, pickled vegetables, soy sauce, and so on, as well as all kinds of cheap and delicious snacks. Not only that, but the gift book also allowed the villagers to pay their bills on credit once a month, but if anyone was in arrears three times in a row, they would never pay him again on credit. In addition, it also helps villagers to sell their small handicrafts, such as small baskets, small baskets, small wallets, etc., for the convenience of the villagers.

In order to help Lei Xianglee get more business, Qin Mian even got his family’s salted eggs that were left for him to eat to carry around a jar for sale. Every piece of salted egg sold for a gold coin was extremely popular.

The Sun family was clever and nimble. Occasionally, they would even gift some of their own snacks to their regular customers. Lei Xianglee was passionate, and the Sun family was kind. The villagers of the village and the villagers of the neighboring villages gradually got used to coming here to buy things. From time to time, the children of the academy would run over to buy some snacks, such as fried melon seeds. The amount of money a single coin cost was not small, and they could eat until they felt satisfied. In less than half a month, the gift shop had regained its footing and business was booming.

Seeing that Fourth Younger Brother also had a way to earn money, Lei Xiangyi and Madam Qian could not sit still. Both of them did not know how to cook and only knew how to farm land. It was not easy to think of an idea to earn money in a short period of time. In the end, it was Madam Qian who had the idea. Wasn’t Wu Di the one raising chickens in the village? They can raise ducks. The village had several large ponds and a river, completely qualified to raise ducks. However, there was one more problem: there were so many people who ate eggs and chicken that they could make a fortune by raising chickens. If they raised ducks, could duck eggs and ducks be sold?

When the husband and wife thought about how Qin Mian knew how to do business, they asked Qin Mian for guidance.

Qin Mian expressed his appreciation and support for their idea, and suggested that they raise less experience for now. This was because the two were still young, and had enough time and energy to try. After learning the lesson, it was not too late to increase the number of people who could cultivate it. As for the sales of duck eggs and duck meat, there was no need to worry. As long as he developed a variety of ways to eat duck eggs and duck meat, he would definitely be able to sell them.

The husband and wife pair had complete trust in Qin Mian’s business acumen and accepted his suggestion.

Qin Mian also lent them twenty silver.

It wasn’t long before it was December.

Lei Xiangzhi continued his habit of writing a letter to each of his three brothers every two months. This was his first year in the capital, and he had to stay in the capital so that he could make a good impression on his elder brother in time to pay his respects. He apologized to his brother in his heart and paid his respects in advance, and together with the letter he paid his respects to his three brothers and their families.

As for Lei Daqiang and Madam Du, they could easily guess that after seeing the prosperity of the capital, would they be happy to return to the corner of the mountains?

Without Lei Daqiang, Madam Du and Lei Xiangren, Lei Tia, Lei Xiangyi and Lei Xianglee were actually closer to each other. They were also closer to Lei Dagang’s family than before. It was New Year’s Eve in the first month of the year, and the four families were back and forth, taking turns to treat each other. It was extremely lively.

Yuan Yuan was the most popular among the juniors. In the first month, just the red envelopes from his relatives were received by more than 20. In addition to the red envelopes given by the villagers, there were a total of more than 80.

The two little fellows happily took out their money boxes and placed the silver inside the red envelopes. They had Qin Mian and the others specially prepare an account book for the two of them and solemnly wrote down their names on the first page of the account book.

The two little fellows’ names were indeed plentiful. Qin Mian had only just learned how to write names a short while ago, and the three words took up a whole page. Furthermore, the words “Sharp”, “Qi” and “Qilin” were more likely to be written as well.

Lei Tia was forced to lie on the brick bed by his two sons, and the three scratched him.

In the spring, there was an extra flock of fifty yellow ducks in the village. They shakily followed the mother of the chickens everywhere. Their fluffy bodies were like balls of yellow hair.

In April, Lei Xiangzhi wrote another letter back, which was raised to a novel from the Sixth Tier in the Han Lin Courtyard.

Qin Mian was a little surprised. The speed at which he could be promoted was simply too fast. But no matter what, being promoted was a good thing. He wrote a letter together with Lei Tia to congratulate his.

It was almost July after the farm work, and it was not a good time to go out in the heat. Moreover, their family would be very busy this year. Yuan Yuan He was already four years old. Other than learning, he also had to start training with Qin Mian and Lei Tia. Four years old was one of the most suitable ages for Foundation Establishment.

Yuan Yuan and the Foundation Establishment that were full didn’t need to be like the last time when Qin Mian was building his foundation, but directly used the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by Qin Mian. Moreover, Yuan Yuan and Man were born in space, there were no impurities in their bodies, and the process of their Foundation Establishment was almost painless.

Cultivation consisted of Foundation Establishment, Enlightenment, Integration, Heart of Tranquil Water, Jindan, Nascent Soul, Enlightenment, Soul Division, Body Fusion, Void Penetration, Dacha, and Tribulation. There were twelve stages: initial, middle, and late stages, and Qin Mian was currently in the early stages of the Heart of Tranquil Water while Lei Tia was in the middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage.

Note: This is not a bug. Ducks don’t hatch, ducklings are hatched by hens, they run around with hens when they’re small. (_) *
