One, ten, hundred, thousand...
Ten thousand!
Wow, I won so many!
That's equivalent to ten taels of silver! That's enough to cover a day's worth of spring water?!
Yue Jiuyue found it hard to believe that she could actually win such a big prize!
There were six more to go. Filled with excitement and anticipation, Yue Jiuyue continued to scratch them off one by one.
Two two-yuan coins, one one-hundred-yuan coin, and one twenty-thousand-yuan coin!
Yue Jiuyue felt she had made a huge profit by exchanging 20 coins for 30 taels of silver, or 126 coins!
My heart is pounding, my hands are trembling, can we do it one more time?
This time, Yue Jiuyue spent a whopping two hundred coins to buy one hundred tickets! Then she went all out to scratch them.
If this thing could exist in this era, she would actually like to let Lin Chaodong and the others play with it, after all, sharing is worse than enjoying alone.
Now, she can only enjoy herself here all by herself.
...ten yuan, ...two yuan, ...five yuan...
There weren't any large denominations, and less than a quarter of the winners were.
This time, she won a total of 438 coins, which perfectly rounded up her balance to 50 taels.
Yue Jiuyue frowned. Could it be that this mall has its own consciousness?
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I managed to round it up to a whole number for her?
Moreover, the amount of the prize money made her feel that the mall was acting maliciously towards her!
It was already dark outside, and the main room had quieted down; everyone had probably gone back to their rooms to sleep.
Yue Jiuyue then pulled out the money Lin Chaonan had given her today, which was only 320 coins. Ginseng that hadn't been aged was indeed worthless!
Last time, Lin Chaobei was injured by a pig, so he paid back the eighty-one coins he owed the village chief. Later, the village chief bought pig's blood to help Lin Chaobei recover, and in the end, the family only had a little over thirty coins left.
With these 320 coins added, the family's entire fortune amounted to only 356 coins.
Not even a penny a day is enough!
Although Yue Jiuyue thought the money was too little, she didn't dislike the money itself. She kept the money separately wrapped in the original owner's handkerchiefs, which were given to the original owner by Liu Shi when she married into the family.
Thinking that she would have to get up early the next morning to fill the well with water, Yue Jiuyue lay down, covered herself with a thin blanket, and went to sleep.
(︶.?︶?)
Today, Linjiagou Village is very different from the village a few days ago; the atmosphere is very somber.
The entire village, young and old, gathered near the ancient well, their faces full of worry, shaking their heads and sighing, some even weeping softly.
Just a few days ago, the whole village was filled with a joyful atmosphere, so why are they all so deeply immersed in sadness today?
All because the water in the ancient well is gone today!
They waited from the first light of dawn until the sun rose in the east, and then until it was high in the sky, but the ancient well still hadn't produced a drop of water.
How could the people of Linjiagou Village not be saddened?
Water is the source of life!
"Is it because someone in our village did something to anger our ancestors, that they're not showing their power and not giving us water anymore?"
Some people were getting impatient and frustrated, unable to bear the fear of never having water again, and were the first to speak up.
This question lingered in everyone's mind, but they dared not speak it aloud, fearing that one of them might have truly angered their ancestors, which was why things had turned out this way.
"My family has only been going to the fields to weed and dig for eels in the mountains lately. Those at home have been taking care of the kids and cooking. They haven't done anything else!"
"My family is the same!"
"My family is the same!"
