"Dad, take the wood you brought back from the mountain these past two days and do it the way I told you. We'll use that wood to make money, but this work is a bit delicate."
An Mancang shook his head. "When it comes to carpentry, your uncle is the most skilled. Dad can't do this kind of delicate work."
Anle smiled and encouraged An Mancang, "It's okay, let's take our time. Slow and steady wins the race. With my guidance, Dad will definitely be able to do it."
I will do whatever you say, and I will have my second and third brothers assist you.
"If I do a good job, I'll earn five taels of silver for my father."
Upon hearing that it was five taels of silver, An Mancang was completely dumbfounded.
An Yi was stunned for a moment, then her spirits lifted and she became excited.
Five taels of silver? That much? What could possibly be worth five taels of silver?
Anle blinked, then belatedly realized that some parts were still needed. He grinned and said, "Third Brother, this thing isn't something you can just make yourself. We'll have to go to the blacksmith's shop and get some parts made."
Tomorrow I'll go to town with my dad and go to the blacksmith's shop to ask if he can make it for me.
So let's call it a day and take a break. If the blacksmith can forge it, we'll get back to work."
She hadn't even considered whether the part could be made; she was just too impatient.
An Ning muttered something to herself.
"What exactly is it? Why are you talking about it so mysteriously? And we have to go to a blacksmith? But going to a blacksmith's shop costs money."
Anle put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at Anning.
"Making money requires capital; there aren't that many easy jobs that come out of thin air."
An Dalin glanced at An Le and thought that ever since he hit his head, the kid had been more energetic than ever before!
However, being able to earn money for the family is a good omen.
Earning two taels of silver a day? Who would believe that?
If he hadn't seen the copper coins and silver coins right in front of him, he wouldn't have believed it.
"By the way, there's something I need to tell you two. Manyi is already planning to get engaged to someone in town."
It'll probably happen in the next few days; you all know that.
Qiao Qiuniang paused, put down the string of silver coins in her hand, and looked at An Dalin in surprise, "Father, is this true?"
When Mancang and I came back today, I heard people in our village talking about it. I thought it was just a rumor, but it turns out it's true. I didn't hear my third uncle and aunt mention it either.
Anning blinked and said, "Mother, I have heard about this. When my younger sister and aunt were fighting over eggs, my aunt mentioned that she was going to arrange a marriage and should look her best to meet her future husband."
An Mancang responded, "I've noted this down. Tomorrow I'll go to town and inquire about this family."
An Ning disagreed.
"Dad, if you ask me, you shouldn't worry about this. You have no say in my aunt's marriage!"
Didn't you hear from the villagers that they've all moved into other people's homes?
Their reputation is ruined because of them. Even if they're not good enough, who else would want them?
Besides, my aunt was already lazy, had a bad temper, and was so fat! Now she's lost her reputation, she's completely finished.
"It's good enough that one family is willing to take them; why do you care what kind of family they are?"
Qiao Qiuniang's eyes revealed worry.
"That's what makes it even stranger. Why would someone with such good qualities fall for your aunt? There must be a reason! It would be better to find out."
Anjing simply said, "Even if Dad finds out the reason, Third Grandfather, Third Grandmother, and Aunt won't listen to Dad and Mom."
The next morning, Anle imitated Qiao Qiuniang by carrying a small basket on her arm.
Inside the basket were the underwear and sanitary napkins she had grown in the outhouse in the middle of the night, along with some screw parts and pulley diagrams she had drawn based on the "Element Analysis" book.
She could have grown these screw parts in the system's garden, but instead, she grew gold or silver screws.
If you were to use gold or silver screws, it would be too conspicuous.
Besides, when it comes to making that kind of thing, gold and silver aren't as suitable as iron!
She tried planting silver coins and copper coins in the field, but none of them grew. She didn't know why, despite having these elemental attributes, she couldn't grow them.
She suspects that the system restricts the planting of gold and silver currency, or that it simply doesn't intend to develop such a currency function.
If it were actually possible to cultivate silver and then illegally mint it, wouldn't that create chaos?
Moreover, she felt that her system space itself was a creation defying the heavens, no wonder that black man said she had gotten a good deal.
It's basically a cheating device! With this thing, life is like having a cheat code.
She must make good use of this Seven-Colored Garden to get rich and reach the pinnacle of life.
At the east end of the village, Xu Suozhu saw An Mancang bringing Anle over and asked in surprise, "Is Mancang going to town again today?"
Yesterday, your family spent quite a bit of money on travel expenses to town. It was for worshipping the gods, something you had no choice but to spend money on. But since you've already gone once, there's no need to go again.”
Anle grinned and showed Xu Suozhu, "Grandpa Xu should be happy to make money. He should be hoping that our family goes to town every day so that he can earn more money for travel expenses."
With a simple and honest smile, An Mancang readily handed over 20 coins to Xu Suozhu, paying off his round-trip travel expenses in one go.
Xu Suozhu took the money, weighed it in his hand, his old eyes wrinkled deeply, and he immediately grinned from ear to ear.
“What Lewazi said is quite right. I, the old man, would like to earn more money for travel expenses to buy wine. However, your family is not what it used to be. Going to town every day will cost a lot of money. We should save on travel expenses as much as possible.”
Anle smiled and said, "It's alright. In a few days, my family will buy another cow and get a wooden cart. Then we can go into town every day without paying any tolls."
Xu Suozhu sighed as he listened, but didn't reply. Well, the youngest daughter of the Mancang family was spouting nonsense again.
Seeing that Xu Suozhu didn't respond, Anle raised an eyebrow and stopped trying to embarrass herself. She knew perfectly well that he was just taking her rambling nonsense again.
An Mancang silently patted An Le's head. He knew that his little girl wasn't exaggerating; what she said was true.
After he earned two taels of silver yesterday, he believed it.
Once inside the town, in the same place, in the same spot, An Mancang set up a stall next to the old man selling wine with a Rubik's Cube in hand. As soon as he squatted down there, a lot of people came over, almost all of them were his regular customers from yesterday.
Many of the new faces were brought over by regular customers just to see what the excitement was like.
