"Mu, why did you buy so many candied fruits? "A bunch of candied fruits can only be eaten by the children of the town if you take a copper coin. Why did you come with so many …"

Yang Lili looked at the strings of bright red candied fruits on the top of the basket in astonishment. She slightly frowned and asked with a worried tone.

When Yangyang was walking around the candied fruits, Qimu looked at him happily for a while before she sat on the bench in the hall and poured a bowl full of cold water from a water jar. She was drinking from it.

It had been almost a day, yet she had not had a good time drinking water. After eating, she only had a bowl of boiled water that Yang Lili had specially cooled down for her. Qimu's body and heart were filled with satisfaction.

Hearing Yang Lili's question, Qimu sighed lightly in her heart. Coming here for a windfall, a traditional woman who couldn't be more conservative, like a cheap mother, probably couldn't accept it …

Qimu was about to put down the bowl and tell them everything from beginning to end so that they would all feel better.

Unexpectedly, before Qimu's bowl even landed on the table, Ye Dazhuang had already started talking excitedly and spitting on her behalf.

Qimu took a look and decided not to bother about it anymore. She just seriously drank the water. The boiling water from the well was delicious, much better than the disinfected tap water from the modern era.

Ye Dazhuang had a complacent look on his face. The usually honest and low-key man slightly raised his chin and said with an extremely proud tone:

"My child's mother, you don't know this, but my daughter sold grass to earn money to buy it. My daughter was really amazing, but before, she went to town and recognized the grass that could be sold for a lot of money. On a trip up the mountain, she even harvested it …"

"I know. Do you think I'm deaf or blind? Mu told you. She just thought I didn't know. It's just that I don't know what kind of weeds they are. They can be sold for dozens of copper coins!"

Yang Lili glared at Ye Dazhuang. Even the words she said to him in response were filled with gentleness. Ran, who was in her embrace, cutely snuggled up to her. She was neither noisy nor noisy, just like a beautiful porcelain doll.

"That's not some grass, it has a name, it's called the Gynostemma, it's an extremely expensive herb!"

"When I went to the town this time, I originally wanted to sell this herb to the town's infirmary. It could cure the disease and also give our family more income, but unfortunately, the infirmary didn't recognize this herb and didn't accept it."

"As I walked back, a rich family recognized the herb and sent someone to buy it. I was just about to sell it."

"But that person's hands were empty, and he didn't have a basket to store medicinal herbs in, so he asked me for our basket. I thought that the family offered an extremely high price, so I gave them the basket along with the herbs."

"Then I bought a new one, the one I have now. I even bought some …"

Qimu had just finished drinking the water and felt much better. In order to solve the problem once and for all, she went up to her parents and took out the things in the basket one by one and put them on the table.

Gynostemma were bought, but she did not even see a shadow of that rich and powerful family, and the person who bought the Gynostemma was also real. But to say that the basket was a gift, it would be more accurate to say that it was openly 'snatched' by the blue-clothed man … However, she really didn't mind. After all, they had given her enough money!

Of course, when Qimu was tidying up the items that she had just bought, she didn't forget to give Yangyang two bunches of candied fruits first. Of course, when Qimu was tidying up the items that she had just bought, she didn't forget to bring two bunches of candied fruits for Yangyang.

Qimu initially wanted to tease Yangyang, but when she saw the pitiful appearance of the little guy, her heart immediately softened. She thought to herself, "She really is the nemesis of this life. I can't stand him feeling wronged in the slightest."

"These two strings are for Yangyang. Yangyang, come over and take them."

Qimu picked out two of the largest and most good-looking ones, smiled, extended her hand to Yangyang and said softly.

"Is it edible?"

Yangyang was uneasy and didn't extend his hand to receive it. His bright and innocent eyes were filled with seriousness and expectation. He looked at Qimu and asked in a somewhat silly yet twisted tone.

"Yes, of course you can. Have you forgotten that Big Sis brought you a candied fruits to eat?" It's for us, Yangyang, to eat. "

Qimu's heart ached as she pulled Yangyang over and pulled him into her embrace. Feeling the warmth of his small body, she took the initiative to carefully feed him one, thinking to herself: He should have never eaten before, only now did she recognize him, he wants to eat but is too afraid to eat, he didn't even move the candied fruits once, he's just spinning around them happily.

Qimu did not like the 'devilish brat'. He was definitely a spoiled brat spoiled by ignorant adults, but she did not want her cheap little brother to be too 'sensible'. She did her best to suppress her wish and lose the happy and carefree childhood that should have belonged to him.

Yangyang was still young, so Qimu hoped that he would be able to express any of her thoughts in his own home in front of his closest family members … As long as he remained a kind and happy child.

"..."

"Is it sweet?"

"Sweet, so sweet, so sweet! It's exactly the same as what Li Cucurbita said!"

"Who is Li Guanzi?"

"Elder sister, did you forget? "Li Guanzi is Third Aunt's little nephew. Last time, he ate in front of me and said that I definitely wouldn't be able to, so they all laughed at me …" But now, I have one too! "It's so sweet, so sweet!"

"Oh, sister, I remember now. We can eat as many as we want today, but if you don't, your teeth will break!"

"What's gargling?"

"..."

"Dad, mom, don't just stand there. Hurry up and count the money!"

Qimu looked at the items on the table and stood there in a daze, unable to say a word. She held Yangyang with one hand and took out the purse with the other, pouring out the remaining silver and copper coins, and said:

"Dad, mom, you guys probably can't guess how much money that family paid, right? Let me tell you, a whole five taels of silver! "Even if it's just for a year or two, our family still wouldn't be able to earn that much silver."

The candied fruit I bought cost twenty copper coins, the chicken three hundred copper coins, the four cloths, one hundred and twenty copper coins, three jugs of wine, forty-five copper coins. Our family's new basket cost five copper coins, a total of one to two hundred and forty copper coins.

"Mother, hurry up and calculate, right? I'm afraid that as long as I calculated wrongly, it wouldn't be good if I'm too young. Father, help your mother carry your little sister, be careful not to let the candied fruits on your hands hurt your little sister! "

"Ah, alas!"

Yang Lili exclaimed in a low voice. Her eyes couldn't leave the money on the table for a moment. She quickly gave Ye Dazhuang a hug and started counting the money without sitting down. Her hands, which were rough from digging in the ground, couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Qimu looked at them calmly as she tried to accept the fact that her family had suddenly become rich. Wasn't there a need to go through this process? In this process, counting money was the best and most straightforward process!

"Three to three taels, four hundred and sixty copper coins."

Yang Lili slowly raised her head and swallowed her saliva. Only then did she look at Qimu in disbelief and Ye Dazhuang as she asked.

"My daughter …"

Ye Dazhuang's eyes were as big as bells. He also had a look of disbelief on his face. Ever since he was young, he had never touched so many copper coins, not to mention the white and white silver!

"It's true, Father and Mother."

Qimu sat there leisurely with a calm expression. Although she looked much more composed than her two cheap parents, she was actually overjoyed in her heart!

Only with money could one truly live a good life!

"..."

It was so easy to wait for this poor home for more than a decade and finally accept the earth-shattering news — his family had suddenly, unexpectedly, unbelievably become extremely rich!

Qimu and the other two children finally had a warm, meaty dinner. Of course, the only one that felt 'resentful' about this was Qimu alone …

Yangyang and Ran probably wouldn't even have a problem giving them food for two or three days. They were licking their candied fruits happily!

"Father, Mother, I want to send a jug of wine and meat to Grandfather's house, Aunt Wang's house, and Aunt Lin's house. I also want to send some meat and candied fruits that we just bought."

Also, by the way, she had to meet Doctor Faang. It was better not to delay things. She should have known earlier, so she could rest assured.

Qimu tidied up the dishes with a sweet smile as she spoke to her parents, who were surrounding the newly bought clothes.

"Yeah, we should send some to Mom and Dad." Yeah, we should send some to Mom and Dad.

Ye Dazhuang was very satisfied with Qimu's request. He nodded his head amiably to show his agreement.

"Isn't it too late now? Why don't we go back tomorrow?"

It was dark. Yang Lili was worried about Qimu's safety, so she hesitated.

"Fine, we might as well call everyone here tomorrow and have some meat and drink together!"

Ye Dazhuang was incredibly straightforward. As expected, when a person has money in their pockets, their temperament would change!

"It's better if I do what I have to do as soon as possible. I'll just go."

Seeing this, the corner of Qimu's mouth widened into a smile. Without waiting for their reply, she ran off like a wisp of smoke!

He thought to himself, "Things are getting better, and my lucky dad is going to lure wolves and tigers to my house!" If the people in the main house knew about it, she wouldn't believe it. Their group of black-hearted people would only look on helplessly without making any small movements!

We've all split up! The branch family!

Sigh, Ye Dazhuang was still a good guy who missed his old friendship a lot, thinking about everyone.

What should she do?

Qimu held the heavy basket and walked toward the Ye Family Main House in the dark, pondering while she walked.
