After setting the alarm clock and preparing to take a nap, Chaoge suddenly thought of this serious problem.
Excited, she sat up from the quilt again and summoned the wooden box that she had casually thrown into the space to her side with her mind.
There are exquisite totems carved on the wooden box. Such a box can be sold as an antique even in modern times.
Chaoge was not in the mood to appreciate it. She just wanted to know immediately how much money Leng Qianrou had given her to live a comfortable life.
He opened the wooden box excitedly, and when he saw that it was a thick stack of silver bills, Chaoge could hardly close his mouth.
She took them all out with joy, and when she saw that the denomination of each banknote was one hundred taels, she burst into laughter!
This is what life is like, right?
Although her journey through time was a bit miserable at the beginning, with her losing her virginity, getting disfigured, and fleeing famine, but now...
“Forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight!
There are actually 4,800 taels! This, this Leng Qianrou is really too generous!
Add the two silver notes she randomly picked out, that's a full five thousand taels of silver!"
Chaoge held a stack of selected silver bills, lay down on the lawn, and rolled over with joy!
No wonder, no wonder Leng Qianrou said that these banknotes would be enough for her to find a good family who would love her for the rest of her life.
Money makes the world go round. In Leng Qianrou's eyes, with this money, she can find an ordinary farmer and spend money to make that man love her for the rest of her life, right?
Haha, Leng Qianrou is so gentle, but I didn’t expect her to be so generous?
Chaoge didn't expect to buy "true love" with real money, but she was excited that she suddenly had the capital to become a local landlady in this ancient time.
As expected of Madam Leng's only daughter, it seems that Madam Leng gave her quite a lot of dowry.
Being able to casually give her five thousand taels to repay her is something that not everyone can do.
After all, her identity before was just a maid, and a maid in their house.
If she met someone who was very clear about the distinction between superiors and inferiors, he would probably think that she had never seen money. Even if he wanted to repay her, he would only give her a few hundred taels at most. That would be considered overestimating her, right?
And Leng Qianrou's move was enough to show that Leng Qianrou was truly grateful to her.
Chaoge was so happy that she checked the banknotes several times and counted them over and over again. Finally, when her hands were tired, she put them back into the box.
But when she lay down and her mind calmed down, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Is she reaping the benefits?
The original owner actually lost her life at the foot of that cliff for the sake of her three young ladies. Now that all the suffering has paid off, she is the one who benefits?
"Original owner, when I am settled, I will build a cenotaph for you and burn more gold and silver treasures for you. At least you will have a better life in the underworld."
Chaoge silently said to the original owner in her heart that as someone who came from the underworld, she knew very well how miserable it was for ghosts in the underworld to have no one to burn paper money for them.
Since she had benefited from the original owner, she should do something for the original owner.
Chaoge, who was planning to take a nap and wait for the alarm to ring, just closed his eyes when he suddenly thought of something and then turned over and sat up again.
"It's over, it's over!
I broke my promise!
We agreed to go to the East Gate at 3 p.m. the next day to meet the man in black who sent us back, this..."
Chaoge was a person who attached great importance to promises in her previous life. She had promised someone a promise, but now she stood that person up just because she overslept. She felt extremely guilty.
“Don’t worry, do you think I won’t call you if you really oversleep?
Even if you wanted to meet the person you had an appointment with, you couldn’t go out at 3 p.m. yesterday.”
The system's voice suddenly sounded, and Chaoge was confused: "Yes, you can't watch me sleep for more than ten hours, what's going on?
Do you know something?"
Chaoge suddenly came to his senses, and the sleepiness that had just been brewing disappeared completely.
"Don't you still have some wood skills? You can go and see for yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Chaoge immediately activated his wood-related skills and spread his thoughts out.
Even though her wood-based skills could only scan an area of thirty meters around her, she was completely stunned when she saw the scene outside the courtyard!
In the originally quiet Xilin County, smoke was billowing from many places. In the alley in front of her courtyard, several courtyards had been burned to ruins.
There were some courtyards that had not been burned, and there were many people in tattered clothes living in them.
Chaoge withdrew his skill in shock, completely confused.
"What on earth is going on? When we first entered the city, there were almost no people in it.
Were those houses burned by the refugees?
And those people living in those courtyards, are they all refugees?!"
"Isn't it? After you entered the space yesterday, Xilin County was in chaos.
Somehow the refugees broke open the city gate, and tens of thousands of refugees poured in.
So, even if you break your promise, those men in black probably won't bother with you.
You have no idea how chaotic the situation was at that time.
The refugees went crazy and looted property, occupied empty houses, and burned down other people's houses in retaliation."
When Chaoge heard this, he stood up from his bed in an instant and said, "It's over. If that's the case, then a county official can't handle so many refugees.
The three little ones had just met their eldest sister, and Leng Qianrou was still pregnant!
What should we do if all those refugees break into the county government? "
As Chaoge was about to go out, the system's voice sounded hurriedly, stopping her: "Don't worry, even if you want to go and see the current situation of the county government, if you go out rashly like this, what if you encounter some refugees with malicious intentions?"
"Ah? Then what should I do?
It's still late at night. If I don't go out at this time, wouldn't it be more dangerous to walk alone on the street in broad daylight?"
"Use your brain, I'm just a system. I can give you some advice occasionally, but I can't always give you advice.
Chaoge, you are already a million times luckier than others to have our golden fingers. You still have a long way to go, and relying on others is not as reliable as relying on yourself.
Do you understand? "
The system's words brought Chaoge back to his senses from his worry and panic about the three little ones.
The system was right. She had lived two lives, so how could she not understand such a truth?
Maybe it’s because I’ve gained too much from daily system sign-ins these days, and I’ve begun to lose myself in my self-dependence system.
As a human being, the most frightening thing is to rely on anyone, let alone she is relying on a system that she doesn’t know how long it will last?
"I understand. Thank you for your careful guidance."
Chaoge then calmed herself down, and finally she decided to go and take a look herself.
This is the best time, before daybreak.
