I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 7 5 lines spring

She wanted to set up a small nursing home, with only ten people, including her own four elderly relatives. This way, she wouldn't need to hire too many people, and she could manage on her own.

This way, I can consider it starting my own business, and my parents don't have to worry about the four elderly people in my family. After all, it's more reassuring to have family members take care of them than to send them to a nursing home.

She had just finished building this place and was waiting for her to return from this trip to open it for business. Little did she know that she would "win" an accident and end up here.

Her new boyfriend ended before they even had a chance to get to know each other.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Dongfang Jin went to the small courtyard of the three houses next door.

Following the path to the artificial hill, her toothbrush cup was hanging on the rockery wall.

I took it down, scooped up a glass of water and drank it. The feeling of the airflow washing over my body was incredibly refreshing, even more so than the glass I drank outside.

Could this be the legend of the Spirit Spring? Just as she thought of this, a few lines of text appeared in her mind... The Five Elements Spring can strengthen the body and prolong life if consumed regularly.

The water in the golden bowl is suitable for martial artists to drink. It can not only solidify their foundation, but also enhance their skills with long-term consumption.

The water in the blue bowl is suitable for people who are chronically ill or have congenital deficiencies and weakness. Long-term consumption can improve their constitution and replenish their innate energy.

The water in the large blue bowl is suitable for people who are poisoned or injured, as it has the effect of detoxifying, repairing wounds and bones.

The water in the large brown bowl is suitable for women who have just given birth and the elderly.

The water in that big red bowl underneath has the effect of treating all kinds of cold-related ailments.

This bowl is located to the south, and there is a large gap between it and the four bowls above it, but the water in all five bowls eventually flows into this large vat.

Is this the introduction? Heaven wasn't lying! A must-have for any cheat-like character! Hooray! Hooray!!!

I walked to the door, reached out and pushed it open.

Stepping inside, the room resembled a living room, but it contained only a long table against the wall, upon which sat a tea set, a vase, and two armchairs on either side. There was nothing else.

Stepping into the room on the left, which resembled a study, there were hardly any books inside.

But a pile of boxes inside caught her attention. Could this be a warehouse?

Thinking about it, he walked over, opened it, and found that it contained only copper coins and loose silver.

This puzzled Dongfang Jin greatly. Did they prepare the world's wealth for her in advance?

Why do you say that? Or are these three rooms part of this world? How come Fang Jin didn't notice?

She stared at the pile of money, because the original owner had seen these copper coins and silver pieces at the Fang family's residence; they were practically identical to the currency currently circulating outside.

So humane?

Then the word "compensation" appeared in her mind, but before she could react, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

What kind of compensation? Was it given to her? And why?

She shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore, and then opened the remaining boxes. But the next box was filled with small cloth bags, some of which had patches on them, which piqued her curiosity.

When I opened the cloth bag, it was full of seeds.

However, they didn't look like medicinal herb seeds. Finally, when she saw cumin seeds, she suddenly realized that these were probably spices, or seasoning seeds.

What about those books from earlier?

Thinking about going to my desk, I picked up a copy of "Medicinal Cuisine" and then read other books such as "Dietary Therapy Materia Medica," "Shennong's Collection of Herbs," "Shennong's Materia Medica for Food Taboos," and "The Classic of Tea."

Dongfang Jin looked at the books, then at the boxes.

She'd only opened two boxes; there were still several more to open.

After putting the books away, he went over and opened the boxes again. This time, the contents were less disorganized; neatly arranged inside were gold and silver ingots.

Most are five taels, then ten taels, twenty taels, and the largest is probably fifty taels. Fifty taels ingots are the rarest.

There was only one box of each weight, but it still represents a considerable sum. Whoever compensated her, thank you!

Unbeknownst to her, in some dark place, someone heard her say thank you, slowly exhaled, and then disappeared.

How do I convert this? How much is this? They didn't have cards in ancient times; they seem to have used silver notes.

I found in the original owner's memories that one tael of silver could be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, one copper coin could be exchanged for a hundred coins, and three coins could be exchanged for a vegetarian bun. How much would that be in RMB?

She remembered that there was a steamed bun shop at the entrance of the alley where her grandmother lived. Once, when she bought steamed buns, the owner gave her three vegetarian steamed buns for five yuan.

Oops, let's not count her since she's terrible at math. Let's just say it's one copper coin and one dollar.

That one coin is equal to one cent... It seems she has to go out and ask around.

The original owner of this body had never been to town before in her entire life. She was someone who couldn't stand being cooped up.

She wouldn't live a life of misery; how could a modern person like her not survive in a backward ancient world?

It's a country that didn't exist in history, so it doesn't seem like much, otherwise why wouldn't it appear in history?

In her view, the country was either too small to be noticeable, or it was so backward that it was like an "ordinary person" just there to make up the numbers.

After looking at this room, she went to another room.

Inside the room was a single bed, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and a guqin and a xiao (vertical bamboo flute) in front of the window.

Aside from a shoebox-sized box on the dressing table, there were no bedding or clothes inside.

The box was full of jewelry, both men's and women's, with a lot of jade pieces.

Seeing these, she suddenly remembered that she had some jewelry and gold piled up in her basement.

Most of it was stuff from the warehouse; she stockpiled all sorts of things to open the nursing home.

I wonder if those things can be replicated like in refrigerators and freezers. If they can... then she won't have to worry about not being able to live a carefree life in ancient times.

She hurriedly ran to the storeroom, looked around, and sat down on the sofa in disappointment. She tore open a potato chip and started crunching it.

No wonder people say that greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; isn't she just putting on that show now?

……

Although Gu Chenglin blew out the light, he didn't sleep. He stared at the pitch-black ceiling, thinking about his new bride's series of actions.

This wife was completely different from what Shanzi had described; she didn't show any of the timidity or cowardice he had portrayed.

She wasn't afraid when she saw him, and she spoke to him with ease, frankness, and without any guile; all her emotions were written on her face.

He speaks clearly and logically, and seems to be literate.

He showed her the contract as a test, and as expected, she took it and read it all.

So who is she?

When the Fang family severed ties with her, she was not only not sad, but also not at all upset. In fact, he could tell that she was quite happy.

Yes, after reading that letter severing ties with her family, her eyes were filled with excitement.

If that's the case, then she's incredibly shrewd!

He was away from home for five years, and his wife was driven to her death; her body was never found.

The child was sent to his wife's family again, but before he could pick the child up, his mother made him marry his fourth brother's ex-wife.

His mother made him do corvée labor for his second brother's sake... and then what? For his third brother's sake, she made him do military service.

...He was disabled and could no longer serve in the military, so he had to retire and return home. Just after returning, he was troubled again because of his fourth brother...

He didn't argue before because he didn't have the ability to argue; he was burdened by the concept of "filial piety."

What about this time? ... He is no longer the ignorant Gu Chenglin. This time, he agrees to marry him, but they must separate their households.

As soon as he made his request, the whole family agreed without even thinking.

He agreed to the separation of the family property, and was also told not to tell anyone, lest it affect his fourth brother's future.

Then, because he refused to hand over the bride's dowry, this whole mess happened.

Did he get a lot of things? You have to know that most of the land in the Gu family was reclaimed by him.
