Chapter 66 Wild Herbs
In any era, having some real money in hand always makes people feel more secure.
Moreover, this time I'm going to my future mother-in-law's house, so I can't go empty-handed.
Even just a few fruit candies can leave a unique impression.
Moreover, Qiao Wanyin knew that meeting her future in-laws for the first time was an extremely important event.
As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite.
As a junior and future daughter-in-law, I should at least behave appropriately and generously.
Therefore, you can't go empty-handed; you should bring some gifts.
Since this is your first visit.
The gift should not be too light or too meager, otherwise the recipient will look down on you.
In addition, there was another very important purpose for following Fu Li'an into the city this time.
That is to help him clear his name as soon as possible and return to the army.
At this stage, only Qiao Wanyin knows about this matter.
But she kept this responsibility in her heart and was determined to fulfill it.
In the days that followed, they worked to accumulate enough money and resources to exchange for supplies.
At the same time, they also had to work hard and make plans for Fu Li'an's affairs.
Qiao Wanyin gets up almost every day right after the rooster crows.
And at night, they stay up very late before resting.
She was busy digging for mountain products and medicinal herbs, and running to the black market to exchange them for money and grain, working almost from morning till night.
At first, the sisters-in-law were quite dissatisfied.
He thought to himself that his sister-in-law, who was this age, shouldn't only care about making money instead of participating in labor to earn work points.
In their view, this was unfair to the whole family.
But recently, this once annoying sister-in-law has started bringing things home from time to time.
Snow-white flour, pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, and high-grade rice and sugar that are rarely seen on the market.
These are all scarce goods that you can't buy even if you have money on a regular basis.
It's extremely helpful for daily life at home!
These things can't be easily obtained by earning work points.
After discussing it together, the sisters-in-law decided to go and talk to the old man in the family.
Finally, they took the initiative to approach Qiao Cunliang and made a suggestion.
"From now on, let my sister-in-law do whatever she wants. We don't need her to earn work points with us anymore. As long as she can bring tangible benefits to the family, we have no objections!"
As the head of the family, Qiao Cunliang was a sensible man. He was well aware that recently, the family's food, clothing, and even the tuition fees for his grandson's schooling had almost all been raised by his hardworking daughter.
All of this left Mr. Qiao with a mix of emotions.
He realized that he used to worry that his child wouldn't grow up.
Now look at the changes in Qiao Wanyin.
He knew that his daughter had truly grown up and was no longer the mischievous little girl who always caused trouble.
Now that the whole family has reached a consensus and unanimously approved this "new family rule".
From then on, Qiao Wanyin could rightfully and confidently begin her path to wealth.
I wonder if it's because I inherited the original owner's legendary lucky constitution.
In the days that followed, she always managed to find some rare wild herbs whenever she went into the mountains.
Sometimes it is a Solomon's seal plant hidden by a rock.
Sometimes they are ginseng seedlings hiding in damp, shady areas.
Sometimes it's even a precious lingzhi mushroom hidden deep in the forest.
It was through these accidental discoveries and diligent collection that we were able to achieve this.
In just three days, she had already exchanged the herbs she collected for more than 200 kilograms of sugar at the space market.
This includes brown sugar, which has a richer, more mellow flavor, and white sugar.
She sent most of them directly to the guesthouse, exchanging them for accommodation and some essential living supplies.
She took the remaining small portion of sugar to the market and sold it, exchanging it for a few banknotes that still smelled of ink.
It is precisely because white sugar is so rare nowadays.
Almost as soon as they were put out on the market, they were snatched up by crowds, leaving not even a penny behind.
Her only regret at this moment was that she wish she had had two more hands.
If we could gather more herbs and make more sugar, we could earn even more.
If we continue accumulating at this rate...
In less than a month, they were able to raise all the money needed for their three older brothers to build a new house!
