Chapter 94: Just Jealousy

After finishing Ye Yong's work, Ye Caiping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's already November, and we have to build the house as soon as possible.

Thinking about this, she consciously entered the system and counted her money.

Although a lot of things happened during this period, except for the stalls in the county town that were closed for 10 days, business in the town has been operating normally.

Last time I got 100 taels from selling bottles, 200 taels from selling jade, 50 taels from rewards, and with the business income during this period, the total is 524 taels.

He gave 90 taels to his family, 10 taels to buy land, and about 40 taels for miscellaneous expenses such as buying cattle, spices, cloth, vegetables and meat, leaving only 384 taels.

It was enough to build a house, but she also had to build a workshop, purchase goods, etc.

After upgrading her space last time, she had three trading opportunities. She spent 10 coins to buy a glass bottle and 300 coins to buy 100 kilograms of rice.

There is only one last trading opportunity left, and the tradable amount is 19 taels, 690 wen.

Ye Caiping thought about it and decided that this money could buy 1,969 kilograms of white pepper.

At that time, a pound of white pepper cost 300 wen, and 1969 pounds could be bought for 590 liang outside.

It's a profit no matter how you look at it.

But her space was too small, only 1 cubic meter, and it couldn't fit in at all.

It would be too troublesome to resell it, and it would be difficult to sell it.

How about selling glass bottles like last time? The price is higher this time.

But when the thought came to her mind, she gave up the idea.

One glass bottle is eye-catching enough, and if there is another one, I’m afraid people will check the source.

There was no need for her to take risks just to earn a few hundred taels more.

After all, you can earn money again, but you only have one life.

[The host has chosen a 50-year-old forest ginseng, the price is 15 taels, would you like to buy it? 】

"purchase."

A ginseng root immediately appeared in her space.

The 19 taels were not enough to buy two 30-year-old rice sticks, so Ye Caiping could only choose a 50-year-old rice stick. There were a few taels left over, and Ye Caiping felt distressed. If she had known, she should have bought more white rice last time.

[The host's trading times have been used up. If you want to continue to obtain trading permissions, please upgrade the space. 】

Ye Caiping clicked the upgrade button without hesitation.

[It costs 100 taels to upgrade the space. Would the host like to upgrade? 】

Ye Caiping pressed the "Yes" button.

[The space is upgrading, 1%, 2%, 3%...100%. Congratulations to the host for the successful upgrade. The storage space has increased 5 times to 5 cubic meters. The number of transactions is 3 times, and the upper limit of the total transaction amount is 20 taels. 】

[The next upgrade will cost 100 taels, and the space will be expanded to 10 square meters. 】

Ye Caiping could still accept this price.

Regardless of whether to trade or not, as long as there is a space to store and keep things fresh, it is her greatest reliance.

There are now 3 more trading opportunities, but Ye Caiping is not in a hurry to use them.

She carried the ginseng on her back, turned around and went out, going to the city to sell ginseng.

Ye Caiping had completely given up the task of cooking spicy soup and handed it over to Old Lady Ye and Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei.

Old Mrs. Ye didn't have to do anything. She just stood aside and watched, almost like a supervisor, afraid that her two daughters-in-law would make mistakes.

Ye Caiping took a bullock cart from another village to the provincial capital, where she sold the 50-year-old ginseng for 350 taels of silver.

Total assets: 619 taels.

It should be enough for her to set up the workshop. If not, she could just trade again.

…

The next day, Ye Caiping returned to the county town to set up a stall.

This time he brought Ye Daquan, Du and Wei with him.

Because they had their own ox cart, there was no need for Ba Jin to deliver the goods. Ye Daquan drove the cart directly and took them and the goods for the stall to the county town.

The ox cart could be parked in the carriage and horse shop for half a day for 3 cents.

As soon as the stall was set up, many regular customers came and asked where I had been for the past half month.

Ye Caiping just smiled and said that she was busy with many things to do at home.

Some people still remembered Li Zhiyuan's story and said with sympathy: "It's all the fault of Li Xiucai. I didn't expect him to be so shameless."

Ye Caiping smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's all over."

Seeing Ye Caiping's sad look, the customers felt even more pity for her.

When half of the Hu La Tang was sold, two restaurants came to ask if they could supply it.

Ye Caiping was extremely happy and agreed to have lunch at one of the restaurants to discuss the supply.

After another hour of selling, the three large buckets of Hu La Tang were sold out.

Ye Caiping and others took a ox cart to the Xinhui Restaurant.

As soon as they got off the car, they heard an angry voice.

"Ye Caiping!"

Ye Caiping turned around and saw Li Zhiyuan and Li Jiaojiao walking towards them. Beside the father and daughter was a pretty woman in her early thirties.

This must be Zhang Shuiniang.

"Oh, Mr. Li actually has the nerve to come to the county town!" Ye Caiping said with a smile.

Li Zhiyuan's face immediately darkened.

Ever since he asked for a prescription in the county last time, his reputation has been ruined and he has become a laughing stock in the entire academy.

Everyone says he is mean and shameless.

He also said that his divorce was a setup and that beating his ex-wife was an injustice.

Chen Shimei, a typical scholar from a high school, abandoned his wife of poverty and hardship!

He even turned around and married the daughter of a wealthy family in the same village. There was no fishy thing going on, and even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Li Zhiyuan was furious, but he could not prove his innocence. He was so humiliated that he didn't even want to go to the academy.

Fortunately, Jiaojiao and Shuiniang have always been with him and have constantly encouraged him.

They are right, only those who endure the most hardships can become the best!

Once he leaps like a fish, he will soar thousands of miles and turn into a dragon!

The humiliation and suffering he endures today are nothing but the soil for his success!

Having figured this out, he no longer paid attention to the insults and strange looks from the academy and devoted himself to reading the books of sages.

After practicing hard for some days, he suddenly discovered that his state of mind was really different!

As he is now, he feels that he can pass the imperial examination!

"Why did you call my little sister?" Ye Daquan stepped forward. "What's wrong? Haven't you had enough shit? Do you want me to give you two more buckets?"

Disgusting memories immediately came to Li Zhiyuan's mind and he almost vomited.

He didn't dare to look at Ye Daquan for any longer, for fear of vomiting. Looking at Ye Caiping: "I heard that you let Ye Xuan go to school? Humph, he is just an idiot, why waste that money."

Ye Caiping's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "Whether it is wasteful or not is none of your business? You are just meddling in other people's business."

Mrs. Du said with a snort, "What's the matter? You divorced your wife and now you're still thinking about her money? Last time it was the prescription, this time it's the money. How can you be so shameless?"

"You... are vulgar!" Li Zhiyuan was so angry that he didn't bother to argue with Mrs. Du: "Mrs. Ye, I am just trying to persuade you with good intentions. It's not worth spending time and money on such a mediocre person."

Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows: "I understand. You are jealous!"

Li Zhiyuan panicked: "What am I jealous of?"

"You are jealous that Xuan'er is more talented in studying than you." Ye Caiping sneered even more, "You have always said that Xuan'er is a mediocre person and has no talent for studying."

"First, you want my family to support only you, and second, you want to stop Xuan'er's studies and suppress him. You're afraid that Xuan'er will surpass you."

Li Zhiyuan's face turned pale and blue: "Nonsense!"
