Su Sanlang was overjoyed that his daughter had given him another gold ring.

His joy was short-lived, but he suddenly became worried again.

Who among these peasant families has ever seen so much gold? What if others find out their daughter has such abilities?

"Sweetie, where did these come from? How come there are so many?"

"Father, this was given to me by my master. You can use it without worry. My master bought this for me to eat."

Upon hearing this, Su Laosan put the ring away.

Su Muyao simply didn't see her father's twitching lips.

She was still thinking that when her father sold the ring and divided the money among himself, she would be a well-off little rich woman. Then she skipped and hopped out of the house.

Su Laosan's heart was already churning with emotions, and the only thing he could spare was a few large gold rings to buy candy for the children.

That little darling's master must be incredibly wealthy and powerful!

After explaining the price to his wife, Old Man Su took out a few gold ingots.

Now there are only nine gold ingots left, and some loose silver.

With trembling hands, Grandma Su picked up a gold ingot, took a bite, and it really was real! (｀Δ′)

"Old man, where should we put this gold ingot?"

"How about we put it back in the usual spot?"

"No, no, it's too easy for someone else to find it."

"How about you try to break off a brick and put it inside? If that doesn't work, dig a hole in the ground and bury it."

So the two elders didn't sleep a wink all night; they felt it wasn't safe to leave them anywhere. ╯▂╰

When the two elders woke up in the morning, they came out with panda eyes.

"Father, Mother, what's wrong with you?"

It was Su Laosan who spoke, staring in surprise at the dark circles under the two elders' eyes.

I really don't know what the two elders did last night; it looked like they didn't sleep at all.

Old Su rolled his eyes.

At this moment, Su Muyao also walked out of the room, still sleepy.

"Grandpa, Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Grandma Su hugged Su Muyao and tapped her forehead. "Of course, you couldn't sleep all night worrying about the money our darling earned!"

"Why?"

Grandma Su leaned close to Guabao's ear and whispered, "Of course it's because our Guabao is so capable. He's earned so much money for Grandma that Grandma is too excited to sleep!"

The little dumpling nodded. "Grandma, I plan to take Uncle, Aunt, and other relatives to the mountain to collect more medicinal herbs today. The New Year is almost here, and having more money will help everyone have a good holiday."

Grandma Su stared at the little dumpling for a while before finally uttering a "good".

Old Man Su hurriedly went to tell the village chief, and after breakfast, Guai Bao said he would take the villagers into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing this, the old village chief was so excited that he sent his sons, who hadn't had breakfast yet, to inform each household.

Upon hearing this, the villagers quickly ate their breakfast and then squatted down at the door of Old Su's house.

Most people didn't get to enjoy the benefits last time; only a small number of people received copper coins.

They were envious too; just over an hour's work earned them more than a month's wages for an adult man.

After everyone gathered, they headed up the mountain, but this time it wasn't as simple as Su Shuyao had imagined.

Many materials are relatively cheap in the surrounding areas, but this time, most of the villagers came to find herbs, with each household sending one or two people along.

Su Muyao looked at the sky, which was already noon, and at the few herbs in the people's baskets. It seemed that this road was not very feasible.

People dare not go deep into the mountains, because if the herbs on the outskirts are harvested too many times, they will basically have to wait until next year.

It seems that farming is still the best option, and this farming can utilize the seeds available in this era that don't exist in our own space.

In addition, with his own spiritual spring in his space, even if he were to sell it in the capital, there would be plenty of people eager to buy it.

After all, scarcity increases value. If the villagers can earn some money first, they will be more willing to work with us.

After all, he plans to open many more factories and workshops in the future.

While he was still thinking about something, a white wolf came running from a distance.

The white wolf howled as it approached from afar. Although the villagers knew that the white wolf would not harm Xiao Fubao, it didn't mean it wouldn't harm them. They were all trembling with fear.

"If Xiaobai walks a little further ahead, will there be other animals?"

White Wolf shook his head: "I just got over there. There aren't many beasts there. Those bastards are all at the very back."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao clapped her hands and said, "Then you lead us further in, and I'll take the villagers to gather some herbs and we'll be back soon."

The white wolf nuzzled the little dumpling affectionately. "I want..."

Su Muyao smiled indulgently and whispered in the white wolf's ear, "I'll secretly give it to you later."

Only then was the white wolf satisfied.

Su Muyao said to the crowd behind her, "White Wolf said it's okay to go a little further in; all the big guys are in the deepest part today."

The second half of the sentence was not fully said; in fact, he wanted to see whether the villagers wanted to go in or not.

The village chief understood what the little girl meant and quickly said to the villagers, "Everyone can make their own decision, but there's one condition: if you plan to go in with Xiao Fubao, don't blame other people if anything happens."

"The Su family is so kind and considerate, always thinking of us when there's something good to be had. If something happens to us, we can't just rely on them."

"I've already said all the unpleasant things upfront, so whether you go or not is up to you."

After saying this, the old village chief picked up his cigarette and slowly puffed on it.

"We've finally seen a glimmer of hope, we can't just cower like this. I'm willing to go with Xiaofubao."

"I'm willing too."

“I’ll go too. Anyway, my mom and my older brothers are still at home. If they can find something good, our family will still have a way to survive. If they can’t do without me, I can at least lighten the burden on the family.”

“I’ll go too. If the imperial court can’t collect enough taxes, someone from my family will have to go on the ‘Soaring to the Heavens’ mission. I’m willing to give it a try.”

Once the first person started, most of the others gradually agreed, but two households still refused.

"If you two aren't going, then go down the mountain on your own. And take all the herbs you've found back with you."

We'll split it equally when we get back, but let me make this clear beforehand: anything we find after we go into the mountains will have nothing to do with you two.

"Don't worry, old village chief. I only want the herbs we find together. Whatever you find in the mountains later has nothing to do with us."

The old village chief nodded in satisfaction after hearing these words.

So they followed behind Xiao Fubao and marched in a grand procession toward the center.

Walking beside the white wolf, Su Laosan no longer felt fear when he saw it. Looking at his beloved little daughter sitting on the wolf's back, he felt extremely proud.

"I never thought we'd get to share in this little lucky star's good fortune!"

"Of course, from now on we'll always remember the kindness of the Su family."

"Of course, I'm not that kind of ungrateful person."

Several women in the crowd were whispering among themselves. Each family sent one person to the mountain this time, including the old and the young, men and women.

They planned to spend a day searching in the mountains, and each of them carried some dry food.
