My dad's marriage into my family made me rich, and my fierce yet adorable older sister spoils m

Even Lin Hai and Lin Chuan, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but smile.

Although the letter did not specifically mention that Lin Hai brought Lin Chuan to marry into the family.

However, in my heart, I called Lin Hai "Dad" and Lin Chuan "Brother".

What does this mean? It means that the two of them have completely accepted the two of them and have come to regard them as family.

However, the fact that they were able to treat the two of them as family so quickly, even though they were far away in the military region, was largely due to the efforts of the Guan family.

After all, it must have been that the family members praised the Lin family father and son a lot when they wrote the letter, otherwise Er Ya and Wu Ya wouldn't have accepted it so quickly!

It was late at night, and all was quiet.

Apart from the occasional suppressed groans coming from the mud-brick houses and Jinbao's crying, the only sounds in the Guan family compound were the wind and snow.

On the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room, the Guan sisters were already fast asleep.

Lin Chuan lay flat in his room, his eyes slightly closed, but his consciousness had already quietly entered the spiritual spring space.

At this moment, the scene inside the space was the complete opposite of the icy and snowy landscape outside.

Here, the air is warm as spring, and the spring water flows gently in the white jade pool, exuding a misty, spiritual aura.

Around the spring, the once barren black soil has been quietly divided into several areas by Lin Chuan.

During this period, due to the disaster year, Lin Chuan secretly planted a lot of vegetables in his space.

At the same time, he was surprised to discover that this spiritual spring space could be upgraded!

After this period of effort, the area around the spiritual spring has transformed from an ordinary well into a white jade pool resembling a fountain.

Even the space within the Spirit Spring has expanded considerably, and several more patches of black soil have been added!

At the same time, Gu Chi also discovered that the Guan family had a fatal flaw: they only knew how to "kill" and did not know how to "raise".

Guan Daya is a skilled worker, but when it comes to farming, she only knows how to dig holes and sow seeds in a rigid way.

Needless to say, Guan Sanya and Guan Siya could use traps and bows and arrows to catch lively wild rabbits, pheasants, and even wild boar piglets in the deep mountains and forests.

But as soon as any living creature enters the Guan family's courtyard, it's guaranteed to either starve to death or die of disease within three days.

Guan Hongying herself is very capable at work, but she once tried to raise five rabbits out of desperation.

As a result, after being fed a handful of grass with dew on it, all the rabbits had diarrhea and rolled their eyes the next day.

From then on, the prey hunted by the Guan family could only be skinned, deboned, and dried overnight, completely losing the possibility of continuous regeneration.

They had considered setting aside a few small plots of land in the yard to grow some vegetables.

They fenced off a few areas and kept some livestock.

But it was completely useless; they all perished in a few days!

But Lin Chuan has a space and a spiritual spring, so none of this is a problem anymore!

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan rolled up his sleeves and worked through the night to cultivate two plots of land next to the spiritual spring.

He evenly scattered the wheat and corn seeds he had previously collected from a corner of the town's supply and marketing cooperative into the fertile, oily black soil.

Then he filled a wooden bucket with water from the spiritual spring and carefully watered the plants.

The moment those seeds came into contact with the spiritual spring water, their outer skin began to swell slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they would sprout from the soil in the next second.

With the time flow rate and spiritual energy nourishing the space several times faster than outside, a bumper harvest can be achieved here in less than a month while it is the dead of winter outside!

After finishing planting, Lin Chuan walked towards the breeding area enclosed by a wooden fence.

There were four pheasants and six rabbits that Guan Sanya and Guan Siya had captured a few days ago, as well as a grunting, half-grown wild boar cub.

The animals, who were shivering from the cold outside and protesting by starving themselves, felt like they had entered paradise once they entered the space.

Lin Chuan skillfully poured the feed mixed with spiritual spring water and chopped vegetable leaves into the trough. After all, he had worked in the pigsty before, so he was quite proficient at these tasks.

The wild boar cub, which was originally unruly and would run into people in sight, was now as docile as a big white dog. When it saw Lin Chuan coming to feed it, it wagged its little tail and rushed over.

It was eating happily with its head down, and in the past two days, its fat was becoming shiny and smooth at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

The female rabbits were even more remarkable. After drinking the spiritual spring water, their fur became snow-white and shiny. One of them even started plucking fur in a corner to build a nest, clearly indicating that she was pregnant with a large litter of baby rabbits.

It has to be said that although he already knew that the Spirit Spring Space was already quite amazing, Lin Chuan was still very surprised to see these changes these days.

"As long as this space exists, the Guan family will have an inexhaustible supply of meat and grain."

Looking at this vibrant paradise, Lin Chuan patted the dirt off his hands with satisfaction.

However, if the space produces too much in the future, their family alone will definitely not be able to consume it all.

The previous incident also made Lin Chuan realize that the black market was not actually that safe.

Moreover, judging from the last time, it would be quite troublesome to do business peacefully there.

Therefore, at this point, he needs a safe way to monetize his assets.

Now that he has the remittance slips from his second and fifth sisters in the military region, he can use them as cover. It's time to go to town and pull off a big heist.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Chuan shouldered a huge empty basket, left a note, and set off.

After being nourished by the spiritual spring water and trained by Lin Chuan, the mountain road was no longer a problem for him.

He walked very fast and arrived in town in less than two hours.

As the year draws to a close, the streets of the town exude a depressing chill.

After all, in years of disaster caused by heavy snow, no household can make a living.

In the 1960s, when resources were extremely scarce, long queues still formed in front of the meat stalls of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

But there were only a few pitiful bones and lean meat on the cutting board; the slightly fattier pieces had long been consumed by those with connections.

Where can we find anything good left for ordinary people?

Lin Chuan pressed down his hat, deciding not to go to the black market this time.

That night he also realized that although the black market was highly profitable, it was also very risky.

Moreover, most of these are small, scattered transactions, which cannot possibly absorb the enormous future output of his space.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan's gaze passed over the low bungalows and locked onto the colossal machine with its towering chimney at the east end of the town—the mechanical steel rolling mill.

This is the only large factory in town with 10,000 employees, and it's extremely profitable.

However, with the Chinese New Year approaching, the factory will definitely give the workers year-end bonuses, and the canteen will also hold a banquet.

With tens of thousands of mouths in the factory waiting to eat meat, the factory's logistics director and canteen director were undoubtedly the most anxious people at this moment.

Lin Chuan walked around the factory area and finally stopped outside a dead-end alley behind the steel rolling mill.

As expected, a middle-aged man in a woolen overcoat was standing at the entrance of the alley, smoking in silence with a worried expression.

By this time, there were cigarette butts scattered all over the ground at his feet.

You could tell he was extremely worried.
