"How much are these eggs?" An elderly woman, carrying a basket, squatted down and started poking at the eggs.

Yun Yuniang quickly went over to greet them: "Two copper coins each, that's fifteen eggs. If you want them all, this side dish is free for you too."

"That's great, let's install them all." The old lady readily paid.

They packed up their goods, shouldered their baskets, and left the market.

The family busily bought some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and some pastries for Xiaoli. They then went to eat the wontons they had eaten last time, and happily took the oxcart home.

Xiao Li was feeling uneasy, thinking about the thing she had put in her spatial storage. As soon as she got on the oxcart, she pretended to sleep, leaned against her mother, closed her eyes, and entered her spatial storage to check the purse.

That's right, it's an exquisite little purse made of the finest silk, with cloud and bamboo patterns embroidered in silk thread.

Xiao Li checked her purse with her consciousness and almost jumped up, because the purse was empty, there was nothing inside.

That's impossible. When she was in the Inner Space, Xiao Li touched it and the little purse was bulging. But what's going on now?

Xiao Li thought and thought but couldn't come up with anything, so she had no choice but to put the matter aside. She wasn't too disappointed, since it wasn't hers to begin with. She wasn't afraid of the little boy causing trouble; he had no proof. Having a spatial dimension was great; with things stored there, no one could find them.

It was already late afternoon when we got home. After putting things away, the whole family sat down around the table.

"Come on, try this osmanthus pastry. It smells so good, it must be delicious." Yun Yu Niang opened the pastries she had bought and invited the family to eat.

Mo Qingshan took out a purse from his pocket, opened it, and poured it onto the table. Inside were some loose silver coins and some copper coins.

"We're lucky today. A big shot came to the restaurant and we're short of fresh ingredients. I sold the deer for three taels of silver."

Mo Qingshan's smiling face lit up with even more joy. He picked up a piece of silver and handed it to Xiaoli, estimating it to be about an ounce.

"Xiaoli, take this. You're the one who caught this little deer today. You deserve the most credit."

"Father, I don't want it. Just give me a few copper coins, and Mother can keep them all."

"That's fine then. You can use some copper coins to buy some hair ties and snacks. I'll keep this for you as part of your dowry." Yunyu's mother took out ten copper coins and handed them to Xiaoli, then gave ten more to Mo Yunxiao, and hid the rest away.

The brother and sister happily accepted the coins and put them into their purses.

Xiao Li didn't have any grand ambitions to do business in ancient times. She didn't think she had the ability. Not to mention that it was not easy for a woman to go out, and without any background, she would be bullied if she showed her face in public. Moreover, doing business with men would ruin her reputation, which was a big deal. In this place, reputation was equivalent to life.

She would be content if she could simply grow up peacefully in this small mountain village, find an honest and kind man to marry and have children with, and live a good life.

What we need to do now is improve our family's financial situation, at least to ensure we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Given the space, it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve.

Next, we need to send my brother to school to continue his studies. Yes, Mo Yunxiao is studying. If it weren't for Xiaoli's illness this time, which cost too much money, my brother wouldn't be without money to pay his tuition.

The most urgent task is still to make money.

The rabbit is already trained; take it slow, it will definitely get better and better. No rush.

In a small alley in the town, a little boy dressed in tattered clothes ran in. He pushed open a half-closed, dilapidated door, went inside, looked around carefully, and then closed the door and bolted it shut.

"Little Jiu'er, your brother is back."

A little girl, about four or five years old, ran out of the door. She was dressed in tattered clothes, but they were clean. She was thin and small, with two crooked little pigtails on her head and big, pitiful eyes. She was carrying a broken bowl filled with water.

"Brother, are you thirsty? Drink some water and rest."

Chen Niang took the bowl, gulped it down in a few mouthfuls, then took her sister's hand and put the bowl back in the house. Seeing the half-eaten pancake on the table, she felt both heartbroken and angry.

"Little Jiu'er, didn't I tell you to finish the cake? Brother will go find something to eat. Why are you so disobedient?"

Chen Niang's face flushed red with anger. Looking at her younger sister's thin body, she realized that although she was six years old, she looked only four or five. She was also annoyed that she hadn't found any food.

"Brother, don't be angry. I didn't do any physical labor at home, and I can still drink water. I won't go hungry."

Chen Niang picked up the cake and placed it in Xiao Jiu'er's hand: "Eat!"

"Brother, let's eat together, you must be hungry too."

Chen Niang refused, and Xiao Jiu'er wouldn't eat either. Helpless, Chen Niang had to take a small bite, and only then did Xiao Jiu'er slowly start eating. The brother and sister slowly ate half a cake, chewing it carefully in their mouths, as if that would make them feel fuller.

Chen Niang recalled the two siblings he had met on the street and felt a pang of regret. After getting rid of those people, he couldn't find them when he returned. He had originally planned to leave them there for a while and retrieve them when it was safe, but now he couldn't find them, let alone their belongings.

Chen Niang clenched his fist. No! He had to find it. Judging from how nervous that Zhou Bapi was, it must be very valuable.

Xiao Li diligently raised rabbits at home, which made her rich, completely unaware that a little boy in town was running around looking for her.

The baby rabbits are about to be born. Besides feeding them, Xiao Li goes up the mountain every day to check the traps. The last deer was caught in a trap, thanks, of course, to the bait produced by the space within the trap. Xiao Li won't tell anyone about this.

Her parents thought it was just good luck, but they were still worried about Xiaoli going up the mountain alone, so they always asked Mo Yunxiao to go with her. Xiaoli was happy to go, as it would arouse suspicion.

Over the next few days, they accumulated several more rabbits and pheasants. This time, they caught a small wild boar in the trap; a larger wild boar would have certainly escaped. Mo Qingshan planned to go to town to sell them again. This time, he hired an oxcart, his brother went to help, and Xiao Li, thinking it would be fun, went along.

The oxcart was taken directly to the largest restaurant in town, Fuyunlai Restaurant. The last deer was also sold here. Mo Qingshan had arranged with the manager to bring any more game here next time, so he delivered it directly to the back door.

"Clang clang"

After knocking and waiting for a while, a guy dressed in a gray shirt and shorts opened the door.

"Hey, Old Man Mo, you've brought some game? What kind of rare stuff is it?"

The man greeted Mo Qingshan while looking at the oxcart.

"I'll go call the shopkeeper right away. You can bring the things in first."

Mo Qingshan agreed and hurriedly told his son to unload the truck.
