Chapter 46 The young couple blushed

This time, she made some money from selling the tiger, but in Su Zhi's eyes, it was not much. She thought about the TV she used to watch, where the people spent large sums of silver at every turn. A meal would cost them tens or eight taels, and that was still a small amount. When she looked at the silver in front of her, she naturally felt that it was not that much. However, Su Zhi knew that it was already a considerable sum of money.

Su Zhi has understood these days that rural people usually use copper coins for trading. Silver is still a rare commodity. Some people rarely see silver in their lifetime. Even if they have a thousand coins at home, they don't like to exchange them for silver, fearing that it will be easily stolen and inconvenient to use. Think about it, farmers usually only buy some small items, why would they need big ingots of silver? If you give it to others, they will find it troublesome to weigh it and give change. Therefore, people who have silver usually save it for big uses, and copper coins are still the most common transactions.

Today, tiger meat sold for thirty coins per catty, which is more than ten coins more expensive than the most expensive pork. The two tigers sold for sixteen taels in total, which I split with Li Shi in half, eight taels each. Tiger bones and other things are more expensive than tiger meat, but the quantity is less, so each of us got another six taels. Tiger skin is the most expensive, but it's a pity that it was hit by too many arrows and its appearance has been ruined. But because things are rare, they are valuable, so a tiger skin still sold for twenty taels.

The last family got thirty-four taels.

Don't underestimate these thirty-four taels of silver. This amount of silver is a lot of money for farmers. Farmers rely on farming and odd jobs, and the best income is less than ten taels of silver a year, not counting food and clothing. If they count, it would be good to have three or four taels left. For those families with many people and little land, there is no spare money at all. If they have a headache or a fever and have to see a doctor several times, they may even be in debt!

So these thirty-four taels are already a large sum.

Shen Zian was very happy. Seeing him happy, Su Zhi didn't feel that she had lost money by selling the tiger. No matter how good the tiger was, it was a good price to sell it in such a small place. The most important thing was to improve the family's situation as soon as possible. As for money, she still had Lingquan Xianlian. Although she couldn't sell ginseng one by one, she could make a fortune in the future by growing vegetables, farming and selling fruits. It was more reassuring to take things step by step.

"Wife, let's build a big house. I calculated that this money is enough to build a very good house. Do you have any requirements for the house?"

Shen Zian counted the copper coins. They were all from the owner of the restaurant who bought the wild rabbits and pheasants they had hunted. They also made a lot of money. It can be said that today was a big harvest. Thinking that today not only earned money to build a house, but also cleared his wife's name as a swindler, he couldn't stop smiling. He usually didn't like to count money, but today he was very happy.

Su Zhi looked at Shen Zian's happy face while he was counting money, and she felt amused. She thought that other time-traveling heroines all loved to count money, but why was it that she herself didn't like to count money, but her husband loved to count money? However, she felt happier when she saw his happy face than when she was counting money herself.

"Of course I have a request. I want to build a big house. I'm really worried that this money is not enough, but don't we still have that ginseng? I'll sell it tomorrow, and then I won't be worried about not having enough money."

Shen Zian thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll do as you say. It's better to sell the ginseng to save yourself the trouble. Then, build a bigger house and say that the money is almost spent, so that no one will worry about it."

Shen Zi'an was not stupid, he knew that even if there was a holy beast in front of him, money could move people's hearts and people would die for money, so there would still be people who would have bad intentions, the most important of which were some people from the Shen family, who would definitely come to ask for money. If he didn't find a reason to put them off, it would probably take a few days for rumors to spread that he was rich but didn't help his family. Even if he was almost kicked out of the house, it wouldn't stop others from saying he was stingy, because who made him rich now?

Su Zhi looked at Shen Zian and smiled, thinking that since he was on the same page with her, she would have less worries. She felt really lucky to have met such a husband.

Shen Zian's face turned red at Su Zhi's smile, and he added: "You can sell the ginseng, but you have to leave some for you to replenish your body. That thing is very precious and can save your life."

Su Zhi thought about it and it made sense. Medical skills were not very advanced these days. If one got sick, ginseng would be helpful. Although she had white lotus in her hand, she couldn't always take it out. She had to use it sparingly. Ginseng would make people not suspect anything.

As Su Zhi was thinking, she heard Shen Zian say another sentence, which made her face turn red.

Shen Zian said: "I heard from the doctor that when a woman gives birth, she can gain strength by holding a piece of ginseng in her mouth. Let's save some, so you don't have to be afraid when the time comes."

"What are you talking about..."

Su Zhi blushed, thinking that the two of them hadn't done anything yet, so why did they bring up the topic of having a baby? But it wasn't that she didn't want to have a baby. On the contrary, she really wanted to have a cute baby. In her previous life, she had always been depressed because she didn't have a child. In this life, she met a good man, and her body gradually got better. Having a baby was no longer impossible. She was very happy, but still a little shy.

When Shen Zian saw Su Zhi blushing, he realized what he had said and blushed too. He thought that his wife had said that she would never divorce him again, which meant that they would live together for the rest of their lives. She blushed now because she would give birth to a baby for him. Thinking that they would have their own children, and that the children would surround them and call them daddy and mommy, Shen Zian felt that this would be the happiest thing in his life.

However, when can I have my own child with my wife?

Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi and thought that his wife was still too weak. He would wait until she recovered from her illness and then give birth to a baby. Besides, not only would it be more comfortable to give birth to a baby in a better house, but even the wedding night should be spent in a better house, right?

Shen Zian began to build a big house anxiously. He wanted to renovate the house well and prepare the best silk embroidery quilts and big red candles. Only such a bridal chamber was worthy of such a good wife in front of him.

Su Zhi noticed that Shen Zian's eyes were looking at her more and more strangely. She was not a completely innocent girl either, so of course she understood what that look meant. The red cloud that had just retreated flew back again.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi are happily thinking of a big house and a little baby, and are full of hope for life, but the Shen family is now immersed in a cloud of regret.

In the third room, Sun was angry and displeased with everything. Chunhua had been pinched by her several times and she curled up and cried in pain, but she didn't dare to cry out loud for fear of being scolded by her mother again.

"You damned bastard! You don't even know how much attention that couple from the broomstick business has attracted today. Those two big tigers were sold for tens of taels of silver. And there was also a ginseng as thick as a radish. It was said to be a hundred years old, but I think it's almost a thousand years old. Even the head of the village was shocked! I said it must have sold for hundreds of taels of silver! How can their family be so lucky? It really makes me so angry!"

Sun told Shen Ziping what happened today. Her eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth, as if she wished she could bite off all those benefits.

Shen Ziping had been lying in bed pretending to have a backache these days and was tired of it. When he saw that Shen Zian had also left, he pretended to be better, got up, and did not work, saying that he was going to stretch his muscles. He ran to another village and did not see the hustle and bustle of today. He was feeling upset, and after hearing what Sun said, he regretted it even more.

"Let's go! Let's go find our parents! Let them come forward and get a share of the money!"

Sun was delighted when she heard this, and followed Shen Ziping to the main room, thinking about how to get more benefits. In the main room, Shen Ziju and Shen Youfu were sitting and talking about what happened today.

***Thanks for the amulet from Xinqing. Everyone in the Shen family is a good person.
