Ni Chenggui wasn’t exaggerating. Considering Ni Yang’s culinary skills, she felt that even twenty yuan would be worth it, let alone ten yuan!

However, Ni Cuihua insisted on giving back the five yuan to Ni Chenggui, “Sister Chenggui, integrity is crucial. We agreed on five yuan, I can’t take an extra five more from you. If you refuse to take back your money, I won’t let you join us for meals at our house tomorrow!”

Despite never having received an education, Ni Cuihua understood principles and valued promises!

She knew it was wrong to take advantage of others.

Though indeed, Ni Yang’s cooking was delicious, it didn’t cost much.

Furthermore, their relationship with Ni Chenggui was excellent, just like family, and they didn’t fret over that five yuan.

Seeing Ni Cuihua like this, Ni Chenggui had no choice but to take back the five yuan.

Her admiration for Ni Cuihua increased even more.

At this moment, Ni Yang was bustling around in the kitchen.

She was preparing the food she would bring to Grandma Mo tomorrow morning.

The elderly woman’s appetite wasn’t great, and she would feel tired of eating the same thing all the time, so Ni Yang had specially compiled a menu.

She planned different meals for Monday, Tuesday, striving to avoid repetitions.

Tomorrow was Tuesday, and on the menu was:

1: Toast.

2: Jujube Longan Porridge.

The Depei Herbal Book states: “Longan nourishes the spleen and stomach, enriches blood and the heart, moistens the five viscera, and treats palpitations.”

Elderly people tend to have deficiency in both energy and blood. This porridge not only stimulates the appetite, but also replenishes energy and blood, and nourishes the body.

3: Cold Mixed Sour and Spicy Ear Mushrooms.

The ‘Record of Herbs Collected in Lingnan’ says: “Ear mushrooms are used to treat dysentery caused by damp heat.”

The ‘Fujian Folk Herbal Medicine’ records: “Ear mushrooms relieve heat, smooth intestines, cure abscesses, detoxify, and treat appendicitis.”

Therefore, for elderly people, these mushrooms are an exceptional dish, especially for those suffering from rheumatic diseases.

Rheumatism happens to be a common illness among the elderly.

Ni Yang was not only ensuring she ate well, but also ensuring Grandma Mo was well-fed. If she had accepted Li Gongcheng’s money, she must serve with all her heart and effort.

After settling the menu, Ni Yang started kneading the dough for fermentation and left it until the next morning to bake.

After finishing work in the kitchen, Ni Yang finally took a bath.

After her bath, she delivered all the money she made today to Ni Cuihua.

Today, she sold more than six hundred portions of noodles and three hundred cups of Sour Plum Soup, earning a total of 210 yuan.

These days, Ni Yang was making more money each day, and Ni Cuihua had gradually gotten used to it.

“Mum,” Ni Yang asked while drying her hair, “how much money have we made in total?”

She had been selling noodles for almost two months, but she didn’t know how much more she needed to buy a store.

Ni Cuihua replied, “Let me go count it.”

All this time, Ni Cuihua had only been hiding the money and had never counted it.

As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed. So, before taking out the money, Ni Cuihua made sure to close the doors and windows and tightly draw the curtains, leaving no gaps.

Soon, Ni Cuihua brought out a small red wooden box from under the bed.

As soon as they opened the box, both mother and daughter were stunned.

The box was packed full with money.

There were fives cent coins, ten cent notes, and larger denomination notes.

Ni Cuihua had been too busy to notice when she put the money in that the box was already filled to the brim.

“That’s a lot of money.” Ni Yang emptied all the money on the bed, and her eyes sparkled.

Ni Cuihua exclaimed in surprise, “I’ve never seen so much money in my entire life!” Thinking that her daughter earned all this money made Ni Cuihua swell with pride.

Her daughter was truly amazing!

“Mum, let’s count how much we have.”

“Ok,” Ni Cuihua nodded her head.

Mother and daughter sat down on the bed and began counting money.

About fifteen minutes later, after counting all the money on the bed, Ni Yang said, “I have 4965 yuan and 3 cents, how much do you have, Mum?”

Suppressing her surprise, Ni Cuihua replied, “I have 3035 yuan and 97 cents, how much is that in total?”

Without hesitation, Ni Yang said, “That’s 8001 yuan in total.”

Ni Cuihua swallowed hard and said incredulously, “Ei-eight thousand yuan?”

Oh my God!

How could it be so much money?

Ni Cuihua could never have imagined she would have so much money!

Eight thousand yuan!

This sum was more than what an average person would earn in several years.

That’s terrifying!

In contrast to Ni Cuihua’s shock, Ni Yang’s face didn’t show any particular expression. Earning eight thousand yuan was within her expectations.
