Because they didn't spend too much time in town, when Shen Yu'an and the other two arrived home, the Shen family had just started preparing lunch.

Obviously, the people who were busy in the yard didn't expect them to come back so early. When they saw the three people pushing the door in, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at them expectantly.

"How are sales?" Zhao asked expectantly.

Hearing the question, Shen Ming grinned happily, took out the silver in the cloth bag from his arms and was about to take it out.

When Old Lady Shen saw his silly look, she quickly stretched her head to take a look outside, and then slapped Shen Ming on the head, saying angrily, "You are so stupid! You took out money before the door was closed. Don't show your wealth to others, do you know?"

Shen Ming rubbed his head quickly, dodging and apologizing with a smile: "Mom, it hurts!"

Shen Yu'an also felt that Shen Ming looked silly when he smiled. Her second uncle looked particularly honest when he smiled. However, Shen Ming was pretty handsome, so he was not ugly.

Chen Yun walked behind and closed the door. Song and Zhao didn't even have the mood to cook. They also wanted to see how much silver they had sold, so they walked into the main room.

This time, Shen Ming finally successfully took out the silver from the cloth bag and placed it on the table. At a glance, there were nearly twenty taels of silver scattered around, and there was also a ten-tael silver ingot lying on the table, which looked very pleasing.

Shen Yu'an felt much better when she saw the excitement of her family. She pretended to take out the silver that had already been put into the space from her backpack and put it on the table.

Wow, what a great thing! The Shen family couldn’t take their eyes off it.

There are several silver ingots on the table, one, two, three... twenty!!!

There were actually twenty of them, with some scattered copper coins on top. Zhao couldn't wait to pick one up, put it in his mouth and took a bite, then he started laughing.

Shen Yuan looked at their happy faces and explained, "I sold 900 taels of ginseng in total. The older one was 400 taels of silver, and the younger ones were 250 taels each. In addition, the loquats I brought weighed 29 catties and 3 taels. The shopkeeper saw that the ginseng I brought was good, so he rounded it up and gave me a fair price, 25 wen per catty, so the total was 900 taels and 750 wen."

"So much!" The Shen family was shocked. They thought that the most expensive it would be would only be one hundred taels at most, but who knew that it would increase several times.

Chen Yun also pointed to the silver on the table and said, "My second brother and I sold a silly roe deer, pheasants, hares and loquats for a total of 18 taels, 990 coins. But I just came back and bought five catties of pork at the butcher shop, which cost me 100 coins. The rest is all here."

Although the amount of money Shen Yun said was not as shocking as what Shen Yu'an said, it was enough to make the Shen family happy.

Although Shen Ming and Shen Yun would go up the mountain to hunt, they could not catch prey every day. At most, they could catch a pheasant or rabbit to feed their family as a snack or sell it to make a few copper coins.

The Shen family was all smiling. Old Madam Shen took Wulang and Liulang into her arms and said with a smile, "Thanks to our little girl, we have so much income now. Next year, we will send Sanlang and Silang to the town school. When our life becomes more stable, we will send Wulang and Liulang as well. We hope they can be better than your uncle and pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

The girl is grown up now. Although our family wants to keep you for two more years, you still need to arrange a marriage first. I will take out two hundred taels of silver to save for your dowry. I hope you have no objection."

After saying this, Old Lady Shen looked around at the people standing in the room. Everyone had different expressions but no one had any opinions. They were just shocked that Grandma actually gave so much as a dowry to Shen Yu'an. After all, it was considered good for a girl in the village to have two taels of silver when she got married.

Zhao and Xiao Zhang both shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection, and it was even less likely that Song would have any objection.

Song even felt that she had given birth to a precious baby, and that she was blessed to have the baby loved by all her family members.

Song pulled Shen Yu'an in front of her and smiled happily: "Why don't you thank your grandma."

Shen Yu'an originally wanted to refuse, but Old Lady Shen seemed to have anticipated what she was going to say, and quickly pulled out twenty silver ingots from the table and said, "Don't refuse, just take it if I give it to you."

Chen Yu'an did not refuse anymore and planned to put the silver in the space later. It was indeed safer to keep it on her. She just needed to be nicer to them in the future.

It has to be said that Mrs. Shen treats her children very well, and Shen Yu'an strongly agrees with the idea of ​​using knowledge to change the family's fortunes.

But thinking about what was about to happen, Shen Yuan fell silent again...

Little Zhang was the first to notice the change in Shen Yu'an's mood. She asked with some concern, "Miss An, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yu'an hesitated for only a moment before deciding to tell his family what was about to happen. It was better to make plans as early as possible for something that would have to be faced sooner or later.

However, she still found an excuse in her heart. In order to make everyone trust her words more, Shen Yu'an pretended to be worried and said, "I had a dream when I fell into the water and fainted two days ago."

Everyone looked over here, as if asking what the dream was about.

"I dreamed of an old man who told me that a natural disaster was about to happen and asked me to prepare more food."

After saying this, Shen Yu'an looked at everyone's faces, and indeed they all looked unconvinced.

Shen Yu'an was not panicked. She felt less depressed after talking about it. She continued, "I didn't believe it at first, but when I went to the town today, I saw too many beggars in the town, so I asked the owner of the clinic. He said that these beggars were from nearby counties. I also spent a few copper coins to ask those beggars, and they were indeed from the surrounding counties. They said that there was a severe drought in the fields, and the crops couldn't even produce ears. They had no way to make a living, so they thought of coming here to take a look."

"There were indeed a lot more beggars in the town today. I even asked my second brother if he was right." Shen Yun said, nudging Shen Ming with his elbow.

Shen Ming nodded quickly in response.

Seeing that the Shen family was beginning to waver, Shen Yu'an decided to add fuel to the fire.

"and……"

Everyone's eyes moved to Shen Yu'an again, and they saw her stretching her palm in the air, not knowing what she was going to do.

Shen Yu'an smiled awkwardly at the Shen family and said, "The old man said he gave me a treasure chest, and I was wondering if I could turn it into something."

Shen Yu'an dared to do this because she knew from the original owner's memory that the Shen family was united and would not betray her. Even if she was betrayed, she had the ability to protect herself.

The Shen family members looked even more amused after hearing her answer. The mixture of various expressions was so funny.

Chen Yun thought, could it be that An's brain was filled with water when she fell into the water? What should I do if she is so stupid at such a young age!

Other people in the Shen family had the same idea, and had even thought of a series of actions to take if Shen Yu'an couldn't get married.

If Shen Yu'an knew what they were thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes at them.

Everyone was still staring at Shen Yu'an's hand seriously, but their expressions were extremely complicated.

Shen Yu'an felt that the atmosphere was already like this, and it would be a shame for so many audiences if he didn't come up with something, so he pretended to be trying very hard, and a big red apple appeared in his hand.
