Chapter 86: Silver Notes Are Just Waste Paper
The boy nodded and said, "Eat it. As long as the wild vegetables are not bitter, eat them. In fact, after this trip, I finally know what it feels like to be hungry. It's not a pleasant feeling."
Su Nuan chuckled, "Then I'll give you priority if I have a chance to catch fish."
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I don't like fish. It tastes fishy no matter how you cook it."
Su Nuan assured: "I promise that what I make won't be fishy at all."
The boy's eyes lit up, "Then...how much is one pound?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Five taels of silver per catty, but a fish usually weighs five to ten catties."
The boy thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll buy it."
Su Nuan knows that the fish in the river are different, but she is not sure about their specific effects, so she sells them at a higher price."
The boy asked for two rabbits and two roosters, and Su Nuan gave him ten eggs.
After seeing off the brother and sister, Xue came over and asked, "The people over there are quite wealthy."
Su Nuan looked at the silver note in her hand. It was really hot.
She thought back to her past life. Because the world was in chaos, many banks were closed, so it was even more impossible for a small place like the North to have a bank, and silver bills were equivalent to waste paper.
The only person she can rely on now is Cheng Feng. Although she knows that she will be exploited, it is better than watching the banknotes become waste paper.
She looked at Xue, "Mom, do you have any banknotes?"
Mrs. Xue thought Su Nuan had no money left, so she shook her head and said, "No, but I still have some gold leaves, gold threads and the like.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Mom, the banknotes will become worthless in the North. I plan to spend them all through Cheng Feng's hands."
"We stocked up on supplies as we headed north. Once we got there, we'd have enough food and clothing. We could just find a place that offered shelter from the wind and rain and live there."
Xue pondered for a moment and nodded, "Well, in today's world, silver notes are likely to become waste paper. You are right."
Seeing that Xue supported her, Su Nuan nodded and said, "I'll make a list and ask Brother Cheng to help me buy it."
Xue also knew that he would be charged a kickback, but it was better than letting it rot in his hands. He couldn't use it, but he couldn't bear to throw it away, and it was disgusting to look at it.
During the break, Su Nuan wrote a list, including everything from pots and pans to bedding.
She also took out the silver notes in the space and spent them all. After all, there were plenty of gold, silver and jewelry available, so she was not afraid of running out of money.
There were no banknotes in the emperor's secret vault. All the Su family's banknotes had been taken by Su Liren to accept bribes, so he didn't collect much.
The Zhao family didn't receive many banknotes, basically all cash.
Su Nuan found Cheng Feng with the list and banknotes.
Cheng Feng was gnawing on some dried meat, looking disgusted and depressed.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, are you free?"
Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I'm free, sister, what's going on?"
Su Nuan nodded and explained her purpose.
Cheng Feng was shocked when he saw the banknotes. "So many?"
Su Nuan said worriedly, "I don't think there are any large banks in the North. The silver notes we take with us will just be worthless. We might as well stock up on some practical things along the way."
"Here's the list, buy according to it, and you can do whatever you want with the remaining money."
Cheng Feng glanced at the list and said, "These aren't expensive items. The small change is enough. Let's do this. Try to buy silver and gold items with the rest and save them for later use."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, big brother."
Cheng Feng glared at her in dissatisfaction, "Look at you, your own family members are still so polite."
Seeing that the serious matter was finished, Su Nuan asked, "The person from the Ye family behind looks pretty good."
Cheng Feng nodded, "His character is okay, but we are not the same kind of people, there is nothing much to say."
Su Nuan also agreed, "Well, how long will it take us to reach the Northland?"
Cheng Feng sighed, "It's easy if it doesn't snow, but it's hard if it snows."
"There are still a few cities ahead. I don't know if they'll let me in. If they don't, it'll be difficult."
Su Nuan was not worried. If they were not allowed in, she could just fly in and find a few bad guys to ransack their houses.
Cheng Feng suddenly looked at Su Nuan and asked, "Are you afraid of wolves?"
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows. There were four wolves in her space, and she had made a deal with them. How could she be afraid of them?
She shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid. Didn't we fight with wolves before?"
Cheng Feng nodded, "I think you'll be fine too. There are a lot of wolves in the north. I'm feeling uneasy today, and I wonder if I'll run into a pack of wolves."
Su Nuan knew he wasn't exaggerating, so after a moment's thought, she said, "Let's light a few big bonfires tonight, just to be prepared for wolves or not."
Dudu added, "I know this. If anything happens, I'll send someone to call you. You can talk to the wolves and give them some bribes to let them go."
The corners of Su Nuan's mouth twitched. Was he treating herself as a messenger?
"Got it. I'll go back and prepare."
Cheng Feng nodded, "Well, have a good rest."
Su Nuan was speechless. Was he asking her to be on duty? Okay, I have to protect my family too.
As soon as she returned to the carriage, she saw Xue and Ling Yun stopping Su Liren.
Xue said angrily, "Do you want to steal our things?"
Su Liren stiffened his neck and said, "This is my daughter's stuff. I can take it however I want."
Su Nuan held his forehead with his hand. This dog-skin plaster is so annoying. How about... killing it?
But I really don't dare to do something that goes against human ethics. After all, there are such things as rebirth, and who knows if there is any heavenly law.
I still want to live well and protect the Ling family.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward and said, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Su Liren's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Daughter, Dad wants to eat chicken, take one out."
Su Nuan stretched out her hand, "Fifty taels."
Su Liren glared at him, "I'm your father, how dare you ask me for money?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, thinking he had deliberately forgotten about breaking off the relationship. She sneered, "Even brothers settle accounts, let alone me and you."
Su Liren smiled again and said, "My daughter, serve me and your mother well on the way. I will buy you a free life when we reach the North."
"Then I'll find you a rich man to marry into and live a good life. Why do you have to suffer with the Ling family?"
Su Nuan sneered, "Give me money. With the money, I can buy my own freedom."
Su Liren laughed and said, "You may not know this, but it's impossible for the Ling family to be free, because they have been ordered by the higher-ups to be slaves."
"You can only buy your freedom in the North by divorcing them, and you'll need a guarantor. Your second mother will guarantee you."
Xue clenched his fists. It was really hateful. He was thinking of buying free agency, but in the end he couldn't.
Su Nuan frowned and asked, "Who gave the order? Will the officials in the North obey?"
Su Liren smiled proudly, "You don't need to ask about this. I can guarantee that when you get to the North, Dad will help you get a divorce."
"Your document of severing marital ties is useless. No one will recognize you in the North. As long as I declare you my daughter, they will register you as my daughter."
