"Mu Er, 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.

While Yang Chen was circling around the candied fruits, Qi Mu happily watched for a while before sitting down on a bench in the hall. He took a missing bowl and poured a bowl of cold water from a water jar.

It had been almost a day, yet he hadn't had a good time drinking water. After eating, he only had a bowl of boiled water that Yang Lili had specially cooled down for her.

Hearing Yang Lili's question, Qi Mu sighed in his heart. Coming here for a windfall, such a conservative traditional woman like the cheap mother probably wouldn't be able to accept it …

Just as Qi Mu was about to put down the bowl and tell them everything from beginning to end so that their hearts would be reborn.

Ye Dazhuang was full of joy and spittle as he started to speak for her before the bowl even landed on the table.

When Qi Mu saw this, he didn't care about it at all. He just seriously drank the water. The boiling water from the well was delicious, much better than the disinfected tap water from today.

Ye Dazhuang had a proud look on his face. The normally low-key man actually raised his chin and said with a 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 that. Do you think I'm deaf or blind? Mu Er told you. She told you that she thought I didn't know. It's just that I don't know what kind of grass it is that can be sold for dozens of copper coins!"

Yang Lili glanced at Ye Dazhuang, even his words were gentle. The girl in her arms cutely snuggled up to her, like a beautiful porcelain doll.

"It's not some weed. It has a name. It's called the Blue Gyokuro. It's an extremely expensive medicinal 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 …"

In order to solve the problem once and for all, he went up to the basket and took out the items one by one. He put them on the table and explained to his parents that it was only half true and half true.

It was true that the mincemeat was bought, but she hadn't even seen a shadow of a rich family, and neither had the person who bought the mincemeat. However, to say that the basket was a gift was more accurate to say that the man in blue had openly 'snatched' it away … However, she really didn't mind. After all, they had given her enough money!

Of course, as Qi Mu tidied up the items she had just bought, she didn't forget to give Yang Yang two skewers of candied fruits first. The little fellow kept staring at them, drooling, and seeing Qi Mu put on the act of taking away the candied fruits, it seemed as if it wanted to cry, but held onto the corner of its clothes and refused to speak.

Qi Mu originally wanted to tease Yang Yang, but when he saw the pitiful appearance of this little fellow, his heart immediately became soft. He thought to himself, "She really is her little nemesis in this life. I can't bear to see him suffer even the slightest bit."

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

Qi Mu picked out two of the biggest and most good-looking ones. With a smile, he extended his hand to Yang Yang and spoke softly.

"Is it edible?"

Yang Yang was bashful and uneasy. He did not extend his hand to receive it. His bright and innocent eyes were filled with seriousness and anticipation as he stared at Qi Mu. He asked Qi Mu in a somewhat foolish and twisted manner.

"Yes, of course you can. Have you forgotten that Big Sis brought you a candied fruits to eat?" is precisely what you gave us, Yang Yang, to eat. "

Feeling the warmth of his small body, he took the initiative to carefully feed him one. He thought to himself: He should have never eaten before, only seen it, only now can he recognize it, he wants to eat it, yet doesn't dare to eat it, he doesn't even move a muscle.

He was definitely a spoiled brat spoiled by ignorant adults. However, he didn't want his cheap little brother to be too 'sensible', so he did his best to suppress his desire and lose the happy and carefree childhood that should have belonged to him.

Yang Yang was still young, so he hoped that when he faced his own relatives in his own home, he would be able to willfully and recklessly express any of his thoughts … 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, big sister remembers. Today, we, Yang Yang, can eat as many as we want. However, if we eat enough, we'll have to rinse our mouths a few times. Otherwise, our teeth will break!"

"What's gargling?"

"..."

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

Qi Mu looked at the items on the table and stood there in a daze, unable to say a word. She held Yang Yang in one hand and took out the money bag 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. She looked at the money on the table and quickly gave it to Ye Dazhuang. She didn't even sit down as she started to count the money. Her hands, which were rough from digging, couldn't help but tremble a little.

Qi Mu looked at them calmly. He wanted to accept his family's sudden wealth. Was 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. Then, she looked at Qi Mu and Ye Dazhuang with disbelief, and asked.

"My daughter …"

Ye Dazhuang's eyes widened to the size of a copper bell and he had a look of disbelief on his face. 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."

Qi Mu sat there leisurely with a calm expression. Compared to the two cheap parents on her face, he seemed much more composed. However, in her heart, she was actually overjoyed!

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!

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

Yang Yang agreed. It wouldn't be a problem if he didn't give them food for two or three days. He would be so happy while licking the candied fruits!

"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 see Doctor Fang. It was better not to drag things out, and she should have known better.

After Qi Mu cleaned up the dishes, he smiled sweetly and said to his parents, who were talking as they surrounded 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 Qi Mu's request, and nodded amiably to show his agreement.

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

It was already dark. Yang Lili was worried about the safety of Qi Mu and hesitated a little.

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

Ye Dazhuang was a straightforward guy. As expected, when a man got money in his pocket, his temperament changed!

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

Seeing this, the corner of Qi Mu's mouth widened into a smile as he spoke. Then, without waiting for their reply, he slipped away 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!

In the end, Ye Dazhuang was still a good man who missed his old friendship a lot. He thought about everyone.

What should she do?

Qi Mu held the heavy basket and walked towards the main house in the dark, deep in thought.
