Chapter 48 Is it hard to earn money?
"So don't worry too much. You can earn money little by little. It's not as difficult as you think."
"At this rate, Ah Nuan will be able to redeem Grandpa Xin very soon."
Little Baozhu counted on her fingers: "Six taels a day, two taels in two days, ten taels in three days."
Jiang Nuanzhi felt something was off as she listened: "Huh?"
Little Baozhu immediately shook her head: "No, no, two taels for two days, sixteen taels for three days."
Li Junping, unable to contain himself any longer, grabbed his younger sister's little finger: "If, Ah Nuan, you can earn six taels every day, then we can save up a hundred taels in less than twenty days. But, how easy is it to earn that much every day?"
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but glance at Li Junping. Ha, this kid.
I used to call her a bad woman, but now I call you.
Upon hearing that she could make money, she immediately changed her address and called him Anuan.
However, thinking about it, if I had a hundred taels of silver here, given his personality, he might even call me "father," let alone "mother."
"Making money is not easy. So we need to come up with more ideas."
For example, isn't the purpose of making this noodle dish today to earn money?
We'll sell them tomorrow and see how much profit we make. If it's profitable, we can work harder in the future and make more.
I've also made the wound medicine. Let it cool down a bit, then I'll apply it to your father and see how it works. If it's good, we'll take it out to sell tomorrow and try it out.”
Upon hearing this, Li Junping nodded, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Nuanzhi for several moments.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked over, but he suddenly gave a small smile and put a piece of chicken into her bowl: "Nuanzhi, you eat."
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback by his appearance. She had to admit that Li Junping was really handsome when he smiled. Although he was the main villain in the book, he even had shallow dimples when he smiled. Can you believe it?
The sunlight is so clean and bright, there's not a trace of a villain here.
"Anuan, eat slowly. I'm full. I'll go feed Daddy first."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Nuanzhi remembered that Li Rong was also there.
It's like I've forgotten something.
Li Rong is still injured, and after today's blow, it's unknown how badly his injuries have progressed.
After Jiang Nuanzhi finished her meal, she went in to see Li Rong.
Li Junping was feeding Li Rong, who was lying on the heated kang bed, but he couldn't get any food into his mouth no matter how many times he tried. He was so anxious that beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.
Jiang Nuanzhi looked over and saw that Li Rong's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was trembling, clearly still immersed in his emotions.
As Jiang Nuanzhi checked on him, she moved closer and met Li Rong's angry eyes, which seemed to be burning with flames.
"Why are you glaring at me? I'm not Zhao Xiyue."
As she spoke, Jiang Nuanzhi smiled slightly at him, reached out and lifted his neck, and in his astonished gaze, a swift chop to the neck knocked him unconscious.
"what you do!"
Li Junping's dark eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stood directly in front of his father.
Jiang Nuanzhi understood immediately: "You look much better like this than when you were being so obedient earlier."
Li Junping pursed his lips, his brows furrowed: "What exactly do you want?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shrugged: "Your father is agitated. If he gets so angry that he might actually kill himself. It's better to let him go to sleep now."
"I'll get him some more medicine. You can boil it and give it to him to drink in a little while."
Upon hearing this, Li Junping slightly lowered his guard. His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
“This porridge should be much easier to feed you now,” Jiang Nuanzhi said, turning around to grab some medicine from the wooden shelf as she spoke. “This person is really unlucky. He doesn’t wake up when he should, and he doesn’t sleep when he should. If you had been asleep when those two bastards came, none of this would have happened.”
Even if Zhao Xiyue and her brother are seriously ill, they probably wouldn't spout nonsense at a few children, right?
Before leaving, Jiang Nuanzhi glanced back at Li Rong.
This person is definitely not simple. He's already injured to this extent, yet the Zhao family is clearly still wary of him. There are probably many things going on here that I don't know about.
However, Jiang Nuanzhi was not particularly panicked about what was about to happen.
After all, even Xie Liangchen, who had the advantages of being the male lead, couldn't get away with anything from Li Junping.
If Xiao Baozhu hadn't been captivated by Xie Liangchen's beauty, and if Li Xiaoer hadn't fallen for the fake heiress and inadvertently ruined his own brother, Li Junping would never have lost to Xie Liangchen.
What she needs to do now is to quietly raise her children and keep an eye on them so they don't follow the same path as in the original story. Her life shouldn't be too uncomfortable.
Thinking this, Jiang Nuanzhi, in a good mood, slung her small basket over her shoulder and said, "Let's go, Xiaoli, I'll take you into the mountains."
She left the rest of the work to the children, so they wouldn't have anything to do and would start thinking about other things.
She even specially wrapped the pork cracklings into three portions.
A lot of pork cracklings were used up today. The children are all sick right now, and I'm on a weight loss program. Eating too much of this kind of oil is actually not good for my health.
She kept only a small portion at home. She asked Li Junping and the others to deliver one package to Aunt Niu and another to Aunt Wang when they had some free time. She planned to deliver the last package to the village head's house tomorrow, as she needed to inquire further about some matters concerning the fields.
Xiaoli was sleeping standing up when Jiang Nuanzhi woke her up. She glanced at it with dissatisfaction and impatiently flicked her tail.
"Woof woof woof!"
Before we even left the house, Big Black came out of its doghouse, barking and making a fuss.
Xiaoli was startled by Dahei and started wagging her tail in even more dissatisfaction.
Jiang Nuanzhi rolled her eyes: "You coward, why didn't you shout when there were so many people around?"
Whether Dahei understood or not, it was unclear. In any case, it sensed that Jiang Nuanzhi was talking to it. It barked and wagged its tail, its face still looking fierce.
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head and chuckled, instructing Li Xiaoer to give it the potatoes she had cooked later. Then she mounted her horse and headed into the mountains.
At the foot of the mountain in the woods, they first went to her trap.
Jiang Nuanzhi circled around, and sure enough, there was nothing there.
She wasn't discouraged. If it didn't work today, maybe a fool would just walk in tomorrow?
Opportunities are for those who are prepared. She even brought two pieces of pork cracklings with her when she went out today, specifically to use as bait.
After making some arrangements, she took a small stick and arranged it in a grid pattern to prevent other hunters or villagers from accidentally stepping into her large pit.
"Older sister, older sister, please wait."
Jiang Nuanzhi had just laid out the trap and taken a few steps when she turned around and saw a white figure disappear in the blink of an eye. Then she heard a thud, followed by a loud scream.
"Ah!! Who dares to plot against this divine healer! Ahhh, there are bugs! Oh no, I...I'm fainting!"
The startled cries sent the birds scattering in all directions. The crow cawed twice before flying away.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked several times, then belatedly glanced at the trap she had just set: "What was that just now?"
Li Rong: Some people want to sleep, but are woken up by being pricked with needles. Some people want to wake up, but are knocked unconscious by being chopped with a hand. Ah, the world is hard, people's hearts are not what they used to be. Throughout history, people come and go, and then they come back again. I'm dizzy.
The white-bearded old man inside the trap: Hmm, I understand, I'm confused too.
