Her cooking skills were clearly better, so she was able to get a commission and meals.

Moreover, she's not just good at cooking; she can also handle tasks like fighting off wolves and setting up tents.

It's laughable that Zhang Caiyun still doesn't realize her place.

"Second Aunt, do you think the officials will take their anger out on whom, since they're making so little money every day?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Caiyun was speechless, and then angrily went to cook.

But old habits die hard. Zhang Caiyun not only cooks, but she also secretly hides food.

Shen Xiangxi and Shen Xudong quickly gained weight, and Shen Lijun's complexion also improved.

Those convicts who went to beg for food, even though they spent money, didn't get much.

As this went on, everyone started to complain, and they all went to Ma Dazhuang to report Zhang Caiyun.

After being disciplined, Zhang Caiyun behaved much better when getting food.

With the officials backing her up, Zhang Caiyun also bought medicinal herbs. The prisoners were already wary of her, and they didn't know what the officials' attitude was, so they all accepted her low prices.

Shen Yujiao was furious.

"She knew perfectly well that we needed medicinal herbs, but she still did it on purpose."

Mu Wanting smiled and patted Shen Yujiao on the shoulder.

"It's nothing serious. We have enough medicinal herbs that we stocked up before. There's no room left in the cart."

Shen Yujiao pouted: "She seemed normal before, but now she's so annoying, always going against our third branch of the family."

"It's nothing to worry about."

Soon, Shen Yujiao understood what Mu Wanting meant by "not a cause for concern".

Zhang Caiyun, having stockpiled what she thought was enough medicinal herbs, took the initiative to negotiate with Mu Wanting, knowing that Mu Wanting was definitely waiting for these herbs.

"I have so many medicinal herbs now, name your price first. If the price is right, I'll consider selling them to you."
