After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 187 Giving Xiuer Advice

Lin Liuyi's mouth twitched as she listened; it was truly a difficult situation for a squirrel spirit like her.

"The next time I go to that house, I'll secretly kick that dog twice," Song Shuxiu said proudly.

Forget it, with the squirrel spirit's mentality, she has no right to feel sorry for her.

"Sigh, but I don't blame them. It's just too poor here."

Sometimes the squirrel spirit could understand that those people had all sorts of bizarre demands because they were too poor, but she was there to help the poor, so why didn't they believe her?

Song Shuxiu poured out her troubles, but Lin Liuyi could tell that she was probably poor herself, so she could understand those people's mentality.

"Because they can't afford to gamble. Do you think they don't want to try new things or start a business? They don't dare. They only have so much money, and they can't afford to lose. So they can't do anything with even the slightest uncertainty. If they make a mistake, the burden will crush them even more."

“Then they can trust me! I’m here to help them!” Song Shuxiu exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Liuyi shook his head. "Xiuer, what have you been doing here?"

"I went to visit people and find out the situation of each family. Then I asked someone to test what kind of soil is suitable to grow here. Actually, this place is quite suitable for growing peaches, but the roads are too bad, and transportation is a problem." The squirrel spirit was not here to play around. After all, she was a civil servant, and she was trying her best to come up with a solution.

Lin Liuyi knew without even looking what was going on where Song Shuxiu had gone.

Rugged and winding mountain roads, dilapidated mud houses, meager farming income, young people leaving their hometowns, elderly people and children left behind, and a life that seems predictable from the start.

"Xiuer, to be honest, if you can't show these people direct benefits, they won't believe you."

"Direct benefits, like letting them grow fruit trees and make money, isn't that enough?" Song Shuxiu was at her wit's end. This was even more difficult than her previous cultivation.

“Planting fruit trees takes several years to bear fruit, but they need to invest first. Xiuer, you have to understand that for poor families, every penny is useful. They don’t invest their spare money, but rather they risk everything they have on an unknown outcome. That’s why they dare not do it.” Lin Liuyi sighed.

Why is it said that it's harder for the poor to make money than for the rich? It's not that the poor lack courage, but rather that they lack a safety net. The rich have the opportunity to try again after failing, but the poor may not.

"Then what should I do?" Song Shuxiu was discouraged by Lin Liuyi's words.

"First, find something that will bring immediate returns, like the dried mushrooms you gave me as a tip," Lin Liuyi encouraged Song Shuxiu, drawing on his own successful experience in poverty alleviation.

"Dried mushrooms? You like them? There are plenty of them in these mountains. These were given to me by them."

Song Shuxiu sighed. Some people set dogs on her, while others gave her dried mushrooms. These people were both infuriating and endearing.

"That's a great selling point! Don't you think big cities are lacking these things?"

"That's true." Song Shuxiu thought about it and realized that the mushrooms in the mountains did taste better than those sold in big cities, but the thought of selling them in big cities made her a little anxious. "But I can't exactly open a shop in a big city, can I?"

"No need, you can stream it!"

Lin Liuyi pointed out the best path for her. First of all, the scenery in the mountains is definitely good. She suggested that Song Shuxiu film some rural life in the mountains to accumulate fans. Once she has fans, she can sell goods through live streaming.

"Is this okay?" She'd never done a live stream before.

“We have successful examples here. You can help everyone sell the wild specialties from the mountains. Only when you help them make money will they believe that you are genuinely trying to lead them to prosperity. After that, didn’t you want to plant peach trees? I can provide you with a batch.” Lin Liuyi thought of the peaches and peach offspring of the peaches in her space.

"Are they peaches?" Song Shuxiu became very interested when she heard this.

"I suppose so, descendants of the peaches of immortality."

"No problem, I'll write the plan right now, June 1st."

For the sake of the peaches, even this squirrel spirit has to go to great lengths.

After staying up all night to write down the plan, Song Shuxiu took it to her superiors and received their support, so she was able to get started.

Just like Lin Liuyi said, first shoot videos and accumulate fans, then set up an online store.

With her camera in hand, Song Shuxiu looked at the rolling mountains. The morning sunlight shone through the thin mist and filled the entire forest, like a beautiful ink painting. She dutifully took pictures of the scene, and occasionally climbed up a tree to take pictures of other unseen sights.

Beautiful landscapes unfold before people's eyes, but what they cannot see are the impoverished people beneath.

Take the Zhao family, for example. The five members of the family squeezed into two dilapidated mud-brick houses and lived on just a few acres of meager land.

Old Zhao was probably the most ambitious person in the village, but unfortunately, due to a lack of funds and technology, some of the breeding projects he tried failed, and he also incurred a lot of debt, making him feel depressed and helpless.

No matter how much Song Shuxiu encouraged him, he dared not do it again.

Sigh, Song Shuxiu lamented; she really thought highly of the Zhao family.

After visiting Old Zhao's house, let's take a look at the village's primary school.

The school building was dilapidated and the teaching equipment was pitifully rudimentary. The children could only write on broken desks and use textbooks with missing corners.

Song Shuxiu felt sorry for her. She thought back to when she, as a squirrel spirit, was studying, she had never had it this difficult. Her village was poor, but not this poor. There was still a long way to go. Now she was hoping that her videos would become popular and she could gain more fans.

Of course, Lin Liuyi couldn't just let her wait around like that.

So she consulted with the system and asked Song Shuxiu to send her a batch of dried mushrooms or other things from the mountains.

It just so happened that Princess Mingyue had given the little golden dragon money, but the little golden dragon didn't want it, so she simply spent it for him.

"Is this okay?" Song Shuxiu was a little embarrassed. Wasn't this tantamount to cheating?

"Why not? The system will help you exchange this money. With this money, you can continue with the work. But you know, you still have to rely on yourself. I can't help you forever." Lin Liuyi made it clear beforehand to avoid any unpleasantness between the two in the end.

"I know." Song Shuxiu nodded repeatedly. She really didn't expect Lin Liuyi to help her to such an extent.

"Since you've helped me so much, June 1st, then you wait and see." Song Shuxiu dashed into the mountains and returned shortly afterward carrying a burlap sack.

"June 1st, these are for you." Song Shuxiu felt a little heartache, as this was giving away more than half of her previously saved food rations.

"These are pine nuts?" Lin Liuyi stared in silence at the pine nuts in front of him, which were about the size of glass beads.
