Who could refuse a poor child's request?
Wei Chi said, "Don't worry, we won't say anything. Just focus on your studies."
Gao Shuying crossed her arms and pondered to herself whether it was wrong of her to keep it from Lian'er.
But Song Ruier recognizing her maternal grandparents seems to be a family matter, and she shouldn't interfere.
This was the first time she had heard of Song Ruier's existence, but she couldn't see anything wrong with him.
It's just a child's wish, so let's grant it and not cause any trouble for others.
Having appeased Song Ruier, the Chu family set off again.
Not only did Song Ruier have an extra hundred taels of silver notes, but at his feet were also dried food cakes, jerky, and meat jerky prepared by the Qiao family, as well as steaming meat buns.
He sat by the roadside, eating meat buns in big bites, feeling his stomach gradually filling up, feeling smug and satisfied.
The money given by the Song family was barely enough to cover tuition and accommodation fees. He didn't want to go back to the Song family, so he had to eat his three meals a day in town. He had to be frugal and could only afford to eat coarse flour buns or drink a bowl of thin porridge each meal.
Now that he has this money, he can eat better. Only when he is healthy can he have the energy to study, and only then will his future be more promising.
As for whether or not to go to school in the county town, Song Ruier considered it for a while.
The county town would be better, but he's just a child and weak; if he encounters any danger along the way, he won't be able to cope.
He didn't trust the Song family. If he brought someone to accompany him to study, they would definitely try to take advantage of him once they found out he had so much money, which would only cause more trouble.
Then let's switch to the best school in town. With his talent, if he can squeeze into the top few, he will be one of the few who can pass the exam.
Having made up her mind, Song Ruier went to get a refund for her tuition and accommodation fees.
As he walked, he thought to himself that now that the Chu family knew of his existence, they would definitely not stand idly by and ignore him in the future. Today was a good start; at least he didn't have to worry about food and clothing anymore and could focus on his studies.
Song Ruier sneered. Once he passed the exam, he would quickly surpass Qiao Lian'er and trample the Qiao family underfoot.
After the Chu family left, the Qiao family's life returned to normal.
These days, in order to spend time with the Chu family, the Qiao family is willing to do less business. Everyone gets together to chat and laugh, and they are very happy.
After a few days, they found that the firewood had run out and the hay had been eaten up, so everyone quickly got to work.
Qiao Lian'er secretly went to the warehouse to restock, and then took good care of the space.
The crops in the first and second level basic spaces were harvested on a large scale, earning a lot of gold coins.
She bought seeds for high-level items and set aside hundreds of acres of land to plant them. This way, she didn't have to spend extra gold coins, and the harvest of high-level items would earn her several times more gold coins, which was very worthwhile.
She had eaten those high-grade fruits in the world she came from, so she didn't find them anything special. Her main goal was to unlock the ability to transmit sound across a thousand miles and traverse through space.
Of course, we should sell them for money, but high-grade fruits are precious, and some are subject to time limits for transportation and preservation, which is not very convenient in this era. If we want to sell them in a big place, the prefecture is a good choice.
Products like nuts and herbs can be sold nationwide.
The chill continued to dissipate, the icicles hanging on the mountain were melting, and the thin layer of ice on the river had melted away at some point, flowing merrily.
Beneath the withered grass on the ridges and hillsides, a hint of green timidly emerges, and tiny leaf buds form on the bare branches.
The villagers' clothes were a bit thin.
Along with the arrival of spring came news of a victory in the north, with more than twenty nomadic alliance tribes completely withdrawing from the northern border.
