Protagonist:

Chai Mi

The rain was heavy, and Chai Mi didn't like going out either, but there was really no other way.

The house was leaking; if she didn't fix it up a bit, there'd be no sleeping tonight.

Chai Mi braved the rain, plastic sheeting in hand, climbed the ladder, and got onto the roof.

"Sigh... what's the use of having a father? Every time it rains, either my mom comes to cover it with plastic sheeting, or I do. This father of mine... utterly useless." Chai Mi was a bit dissatisfied.

However, seeing that Chai Youqing had been performing decently lately, Chai Mi temporarily forgave him.

"If this were a novel world, I'd definitely give Chai Youqing a scene of paternal kindness and filial devotion right now... hehehe."

She busied herself for a good while before Chai Mi finished the repairs. Then she had to chase Xiaohua into the cowshed; this guy, when it rained, would run out and frolic outside the cowshed.

Only after that did Chai Mi go back inside.

After wiping off and changing into dry clothes, she sat on the Kang head for a long time before warming up.

This house was quite old, and it had been built hastily and carelessly back then; though it wasn't a tofu-dreg project, the quality was truly poor.

Once she had money, she really should build a big house.

In her previous life, Chai Mi never got to live in a big house; she lived in this small dilapidated house for many years, stifling and infuriating.

Do something, earn some money?

Go up the mountain to hunt?

Seems that would be illegal...

Leaving aside the Wildlife Protection Law for now, there wasn't any game to hunt near Sanjiacun anyway.

Although there were plenty of rabbits and pheasants, those things aren't worth much. A rabbit only sells for twenty-some yuan... besides, catching rabbits in summer, if you can't sell them in a few days, the rabbits rot.

Other things: pheasants are hard to catch, catching yellow sheep is illegal...

Besides, chasing a circle of rabbits wastes more energy than the rabbits are worth. Eating doesn't cost money, you know...

So, this path is blocked.

Go to sea to fish?

The sea is a bit far, several hundred li... there are some fish in the river. But Chai Mi didn't even bring a golden finger with her rebirth; catching a few fish to eat is fine, but relying on this to get rich is harder than ascending to heaven.

Lottery?

Unlikely. Chai Mi hadn't paid attention to the lottery in her last life.

Thinking it over, Chai Mi suddenly remembered that today at her maternal aunt's house for a meal, her aunt and sister-in-law including Chai Xiu all said the dumplings were delicious enough to cry over...

Although these three living treasures cried especially fake, the dumplings being delicious was a fact. When leaving, Zhang Hailan even praised them, saying Chai Mi's dumplings were ten thousand times tastier than the county's dumpling shop.

Chai Mi began to seriously consider this: "Xiu'er, you say the dumplings Sister wraps are tasty? Tell the truth."

"Tasty, way tastier than what Cun Ma wraps." Chai Xiu gestured: "Cun Ma's dumpling wrappers are thicker than steamed buns... anyone who didn't know would think they were eating steamed buns. Eldest Sister, your dumpling wrappers are especially thin, and the filling is made delicious. Anyway, they're just really tasty."

Chai Mi nodded, having a bottom line in her heart.

Chai Mi indeed felt her dumpling-wrapping was a skill; in her previous life when she worked at a dumpling shop, they also said her dumplings were tasty.

Why not open a dumpling shop?

Chai Mi had a bit of a headache; a dumpling shop would cost several tens of thousands. That was definitely not that much money right now.

Unless she went to the market fair, sold at the market.

There were several market fairs near Sanjia: Gan Zhao Market to the west, Shui Quan Market to the east, Yangjiao Gou Market to the south, Wu Lan Bai Market to the north, all fairly large. Even the middle school near Sanjiacun, come noon when school let out, there were people selling boxed meals and such.

Going to the market fair was relatively cheaper; just needed a small cart, buy a gazi can (gas canister), set up some tables and wooden stools, and you're set.

However, this would still take several thousand yuan...

Where would this money come from?!
