Chapter 1 Becoming a debtor
Su Yanqiu woke up from the cold.
The kang mat was bone-hard, the quilt covering me exuded a musty smell, and the cotton wool inside was as hard as a stone. When he opened his eyes, he saw an earthen wall covered with yellow mud, and a broken bamboo basket hanging from the beam. It was empty except for some grain crumbs.
"Hiss..." He wanted to stand up, but his head felt like being hit by a heavy hammer. A sharp pain hit him, and countless unfamiliar memory fragments poured into his mind——
The original owner of this body is also named Su Yanqiu. He is a seventeen-year-old boy who lives in Sujiatun, a subordinate town of Qingxi County. The original owner's father was a small landowner, with twenty acres of paddy fields, five acres of dry land, and a few decent tile-roofed houses. His life was not very rich, but he was one of the most prosperous families in the village. It's a pity that last winter, the original owner went to the town to sell grain. On the way, he encountered bandits. He disappeared and all his money was robbed.
Once the pillars of the family fall down, the sky falls. The original mistress, Ms. Zhang, was so anxious that she couldn't afford to fall ill. The doctor she invited prescribed some medicines, which depleted the family's remaining savings. In order to treat Zhang's illness, the original owner gritted his teeth and gave five acres of dry land to Li Laoshuan, a wealthy man in the village. He borrowed three taels of silver and agreed to redeem it within a year at a profit of two cents.
But Zhang's illness waxed and waned, and the money for medicine was like a hole that couldn't be filled. The original owner was a nerd. Apart from being able to recite a few "Zhihuzheye", he knew nothing about the work in the fields, and he couldn't even sort out the accounts at home. The autumn harvest was just around the corner, and the rice in the fields was growing sparsely. It was hard to even pay the rent, let alone repay Li Laoshuan's money.

That's okay, but since you helped him increase the harvest of all rice by 20%, shouldn't you reduce some money?
