Tang Youyou walked around the foot of the mountain carrying a bamboo basket. There was a woman also walking around near her home carrying a bamboo basket.

"Sister Chunhua, what are you doing? Why don't you go in?"

Chunhua hesitated for a moment, then handed her the bamboo basket. "Sister Tang, I heard you wanted lungwort, so I picked some. Would you like to take a look?"

Tang Youyou smiled faintly: "Let's go into the yard and weigh you!"

Chunhua was still a little embarrassed, and Tang Youyou slapped her forehead: "Well, there's no scale at home, please wait a moment!"

"No problem, no problem!"

After a while, she came back with the scale from the Yu family next door. She scratched her head and looked at Tang's mother for help. She didn't recognize the scale.

"Mom, you should weigh me. I fell on my head and I don't recognize the scale anymore."

Tang's mother was a little surprised. She held up the scale for Chunhua to see: "Ten pounds!"

Chunhua waved her hand: "No need to look, I still trust my aunt on this point! This bamboo basket weighs one pound!"

Mother Tang didn't respond. She poured out the things, weighed them, and nodded at Tang Youyou.

"Chunhua, that's nine catties, three catties for one cent, keep these three cents!"

Chunhua took the copper coin excitedly and looked at her gratefully: "Are you really giving me silver?"

Tang's mother suddenly discovered that the things she had unloaded last night were missing. She widened her eyes and screamed, "Youyou, those grass, grass..."

Tang Youyou suddenly covered her mouth: "Sister Chunhua, I won't keep you for breakfast. I want plantain, rush... I want both!"

"Hey! I'll come back later!" Chunhua said and left with the bamboo basket.

Tang Youyou then let go of her mother, and pulled her into the house in a mysterious manner.

"Youyou, what's going on?"

This was unbelievable. Could it be that there was a thief in the house? It shouldn't be possible. Who would steal that useless grass? Besides, she was always alert when sleeping and didn't hear anything last night.

"Mom, this grass was wanted by the gods. She saved my life. I...I..." She didn't know what to say.

Tang's mother covered her mouth with her hand, and then bowed left and right.

"God, please forgive me! I know nothing about this. Please bless my daughter to be safe and healthy..."

Tang Youyou looked at her like this, hesitant to speak.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, kid? If someone asks later, just say someone came to take it away this morning. Do you hear me?"

Tang's mother was still muttering: "We can't offend the gods. My daughter Youyou is blessed. With the gods protecting her, I can rest assured in the future..."

"Mom, it's time for dinner..." Lin Huahua's voice came from far away.

Tang's mother patted her hands and said, "The boys have all gone to the mountains to collect firewood."

He pulled her out of the room, feeling very happy.

After hurriedly drinking the porridge, Tang Youyou took six steamed buns and went to the Yu family's house next door.

"Sister Yu, these are freshly steamed buns, try them!"

Yu gave her a reproachful look but did not refuse.

"Huh? Why isn't Brother Xu setting up a stall?" She was very confused. Summer should be the best time to sell tea.

"Alas! The official roads have been in turmoil these days. Selling tea here is like walking on the edge of a knife. I won't go. I'll talk to you later."

Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat: "Is there such a thing on the official road?"

"Why not? It hasn't rained this year, and the bandits from the mountains keep coming down..."

A young boy of six or seven years old said, "Mom, you have a bad memory. Wasn't it raining heavily the other day?"

"It's only a quarter of an hour, and you can call it rain?"

The boy's name was Xiaochao, Yu's youngest son. He stared at the steamed buns and swallowed his saliva.

"Look at you, you silly guy. Take one and eat it!" Yu didn't feel embarrassed.

Xiao Chao was very clever: "Aunt Tang, can I play with the kitten and the bear?"

Tang Youyou took a while to react, then laughed out loud: "Of course!"

When Xiao Chao heard this, he was very happy. He took a steamed bun and ran out.

Yu's voice could be heard from behind: "Don't run too far, come back for lunch!"

"Sister-in-law Yu, it just so happens that my family wants to build a few houses. Could you please talk to Brother Xu about it for me?"

Yu was a little surprised: "This is good news. No need to tell him. When will the construction start?"

"The sooner the better. Build three houses and clean up the pit."

The three brats slept in one room, one as a guest room and the other as a storage room.

"Okay, okay, everyone's free right now. We'll all be here as soon as we call. I guarantee we'll do a good job for you! To be honest, your brother Xu was also a bricklayer in his early years!"

"That's great, it's settled. I'll leave this matter to Brother Xu. I'll provide meals and give him an extra three cents!"

Yu waved her hand in disapproval: "Fifteen coins is enough for many people, no need to add silver!"

Tang Youyou was very persistent: "It's not easy, so let's just do it according to eighteen cents. The sooner the better, but Brother Xu still has to worry about the staffing."

Finally, the two of them discussed for a long time and settled on sixteen cents. It was estimated that fifty people would be needed to build the house in six days.

When he left, he took away half a basket of radishes, which made her feel a little amused and helpless.

I staggered back home, feeling very good. Isn’t this how relationships between people should be?

As soon as I arrived at the yard, I found a group of soldiers shouting in the yard.

"Who is Tang Youyou?"

Tang Youyou's eyes fell on the old man Bai, and he sneered inwardly.

"I am!"

The old man pointed at her and yelled, "You little whore, give me the silver!"

The leader glanced at Tang coldly and said in a very unhappy tone: "Come with us!"

Tang's mother and Lin Huahua were very anxious: "Sir, is there any misunderstanding?"
