Chapter 37 The Gods Appeared



Qiao Qiuniang shook her head, "Since we're already here, we should at least make some money. We can't let all that money for the journey go to waste; we should at least earn a few coins."

It's still so early; we didn't go back until just before dark. There's nothing else to do here.

Anle chuckled.

"Then Mom, you can pack up your stall and let's all go out for a stroll, or wander around here too!"

"Mother, look how lively it is today, the day of the Heavenly Gods' Festival! Isn't today a day for going out and strolling around?"

An Yi's eyes gleamed as she urged, "Mother, let's go! Let's go see the divine messenger's offering! It's right here in the temple courtyard."

Many people have definitely gone to see it; let's take a good look at it this year.

Anle continued to persuade her with her little mouth, "Mom, don't sell these embroidered handkerchiefs. Don't worry, these handkerchiefs will definitely sell."

"Just let me sell it, and I'll definitely get a good price for it. I'll sell it for you tomorrow."

Qiao Qiuniang gave Anle a reproachful look, "Nonsense, we won't be coming tomorrow. How can we keep coming here every day? The travel expenses alone would be too much."

Anle's eyebrows twitched. Not coming? That won't do! We're counting on coming here to make money tomorrow.

"Mom, I have to come back here to earn some more money tomorrow. Do you want to earn more money? If you want to, listen to me. Our whole family will come back tomorrow."

If you spend the whole day with us here and let me see the sights of this town, I'm sure I can make you a lot of money.

I keep my word. I said I could earn money for my third brother to go to school, and didn't I earn it for him?

"If I tell you I can earn you two taels of silver tomorrow, do you believe me?"

Looking at Anle's expression, which seemed so serious, Qiao Qiuniang almost believed it.

"You were able to earn money today because you met that young lady. You're just lucky. Nobody has this kind of luck every day. Of course, your mother doesn't believe it."

An Ding opened her mouth, "Father, Mother, how did my little sister earn this money?"

It's unbelievable that someone could earn so much money so quickly.

When An Yi heard An Ding ask this question, he belatedly looked at An Le with wide eyes.

"Yes, little sister, how did you earn this money? Did you get it for nothing?"

"Hmph, you could say it's like getting something for nothing." An Le rolled her eyes at An Yi. Only now did she remember her younger sister?

I feel like I have no presence at all in this third brother's eyes.

Seeing that she had no luck with Qiao Qiuniang, Anle turned her attention to An Mancang.

"Dad, take me out to play. I want to wander around and see what good food and fun things there are. Maybe after we're done playing, I'll come up with some new ideas to make money."

Anle, acting cute and charming, gave Anmancang a quick kiss on the cheek.

An Mancang blushed deeply after being kissed by his little daughter, but remained silent.

Qiao Qiuniang looked a little embarrassed. "You don't need to ask how your little sister earns her money. Anyway, the money comes from a perfectly legitimate source."

Unable to get any answers and seeing that their parents had no intention of saying anything, the two brothers simply stopped asking and prepared to go back and ask their younger sister, the person involved, out of curiosity.

“I’ll take Lewazi for a walk, you guys stay here and watch the stall.”

Unable to resist Anle's constant nagging and pleading, Anmancang left with a single sentence, then picked Anle up and left.

"Dad, Fifth Sister, I want to go too!" Ankang, who was sitting on the wooden stool, couldn't sit still anymore. He sat up and wobbled along on his short legs, trying to catch up with Anmancang.

An Ding picked up An Kang and said, "Come on, your second brother will take you to find your fourth sister."

An Yi chuckled, "Mom, you and my older sister can sell here. I'm going to watch the divine offerings." Before she finished speaking, she ran towards the temple courtyard.

As a result, only Qiao Qiuniang and her daughter Anjing were left at the stall, selling handkerchiefs.

Anle, who had been taken away by Anmancang, sat on Anmancang's neck like a horse so that she could see the excitement clearly. She looked around excitedly.

"Dad, it's so lively here! There's a ring toss game over there, I want to go watch it." Anle pointed to a spot not far away, directing Anmancang in that direction.

The crowd was packed with onlookers, and next to the ring toss game was an old man selling alcohol.

When Anle was carried over on a pedestal by Anmancang, the old man had just finished selling the last two jars of wine and was packing up to leave.

As soon as Anle saw that someone had made room for him at the stall, he stopped watching the ring toss game and excitedly pointed at the old man's empty stall, yelling excitedly.

"Dad, let's go to this stall, let's earn some money here."

Upon hearing Anle mention making money, An Mancang was stunned. "Making money? I didn't bring any embroidered handkerchiefs with me. They're all with your mother and the fourth son."

"It's not about selling embroidered handkerchiefs, it's about doing something else." She got the idea from the riddle-guessing place earlier. You could guess riddles for just one coin, and if you guessed correctly, you would get ten coins.

She did want to earn some money by solving riddles, but she couldn't bring herself to ask her cheap father for it, so she could only try to make money without any investment.

Because the original owner of this body was an illiterate little kid, how could she earn money by guessing riddles in front of her cheap father?

This is clearly unrealistic.

"What is Lewazi going to do?"

"Dad, didn't you just say that we don't have to pay the stall fee if we set up a stall during the Heavenly God Festival?"

"Yes, otherwise this stall would have to pay ten coins a day."

Anle smiled and began to bluff, "Dad, when I prayed at the temple just now, I asked for a toy, and the gods granted my wish and really gave me a toy. Let's make money with that toy, shall we?"

An Mancang was startled and hurriedly put Anle down, asking anxiously.

"What did you say, Lewa? The gods appeared and gave you a toy? What did they give you? What did you ask the gods for?"

Anle continued his deception with a straight face.

"I just felt that life was too boring, so I prayed to the gods to give me something that would make me less bored. Then the gods said that the thing was called a toy, and then they gave it to me. After I got the toy, I knew how to play with it."

"Where is it? Where is that thing you were talking about? What did they give you?"

Anle smiled mysteriously at Anmancang.

“Dad, you wait here and guard this stall well. I’ll talk to the gods and show it to you again. I’ll ask the gods if we can make money with that stuff.”

Before the stunned An Mancang could recover, An Le slipped into an alley, glanced around, and saw that the quiet alley was deserted.

Anle vanished into the system space in a flash and began operating the planting process with practiced ease.
