At this moment, having someone by her side can gradually lessen her fear. Although it won't disappear all at once, knowing that someone is there for her makes her feel much more at ease.
However, the other person was also a woman, so she couldn't directly bring up the water snake incident. What if the other person was also afraid of that thing? After all, women who aren't afraid of snakes are very rare.
So Liu went back to washing clothes, continuing to shiver under the covers.
When you're alone, you're more likely to overthink things. You keep imagining that the snake might suddenly enter the house, or transform into something like a human-headed snake, and then wriggle around and swim away...
There was nothing she could do; she had watched too many TV series, movies, and novels about snakes. Now, she couldn't help but recall those plots she had seen before, and then her thoughts would wander, leading to even more frightening images.
Yue Jiuyue felt that this wouldn't do. The fear that had dissipated because of Liu's arrival had not only returned, but she was even more frightened. She had to find something to do to distract herself.
She couldn't do needlework anymore; she was afraid her fingers would be pricked like sieves.
You can't just take all the clothes out and fold them all again, can you?
After thinking for a moment, Yue Jiuyue took out the money box. This was the family's money box, not her personal stash.
Counting money can make people happy, especially when there's a lot of money; the happiness is doubled.
"One coin, two coins, three coins..."
"One tael of silver, two taels of silver..."
"Add another hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of silver, and the total is..."
Sigh! If only I could exchange one hundred taels of silver for one tael, I could have a little more time.
If only we could exchange the silver for copper coins...
That's impossible. Silver is worth more than copper coins. She wouldn't do something so foolish!
This distraction temporarily made her forget her fear of water snakes. Instead, she started thinking about how to make money and how to quickly plant crops, fruits, and vegetables on her six hills so they wouldn't be empty.
The mountains are still land, and she paid for all of it. Every day it's empty, she feels like she's losing money. But if she were to move it out of the mall bit by bit by herself, it would take forever!
There must be many kinds of fruit trees in the world, but she doesn't know where to buy them yet. Maybe she can ask the village chief?
As for vegetables, for now we're just growing the kind that the villagers grow, but only enough for our family to eat as much as we want, and also enough for the rabbits in winter. After all, we haven't found a sales channel yet, and how much can the rabbits eat? We can't just dry them all or pickle them, can we?
There are only a few types of grains, and growing grains requires clearing wasteland and fertilizing the land, which is much more troublesome than growing fruit trees or vegetables.
Currently, Yue Jiuyue has discovered two new food items: sweet potatoes and corn. Sweet potatoes are already widely planted throughout the county, while corn is not well known even among the villagers. Once they make another profit this year, it should be widely promoted next year.
I'm getting a bit off-topic.
Otherwise, how about growing medicinal herbs?
The medicinal herbs on the mountain are growing very well without anyone tending to them. Would they be even better if people took care of them a little?
In ancient times, when medical resources were scarce, medicinal herbs must have been quite valuable, right?
With that in mind, Yue Jiuyue opened the shop and began searching for medicinal herb seeds.
