"Don't worry, everyone. As long as we work hard, the more money our family earns, the more I'll give to everyone in the future," Jiang Wanwan continued to promise the Jiang family.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up the mountain and cut some mugwort!" Uncle Jiang said anxiously.
Is this mugwort? This is pure money!
He carefully tucked the fifteen coins into his pocket and ran out in a flash.
Zhu said anxiously, "You silly fool, you went to work without keeping the money safe. Be careful not to lose it."
"Oh, right, right, put the money away first before you go!"
Uncle Jiang slammed on the brakes and swerved, nearly falling flat on his face, which made the whole Jiang family burst into laughter.
The Jiang family members, carrying the money they had just received, first went back to their house to put it away before carrying baskets on their backs, taking machetes, and, led by Old Mrs. and Old Mr. Jiang, went up the mountain again.
Those who stayed at home to make mosquito coils included Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Xun, Jiang He, Jiang Hu, and Jiang Jialin.
The five people divided the work and each did their own task in order to make more mosquito coils.
It wasn't until sunset that Grandma Jiang and the others carried their full baskets of mugwort home.
Jiang Wanwan and the others spent the entire afternoon making a lot of mosquito coils. The yard was filled with black mosquito coils.
After her inspection, all the mosquito coils that had been dried were sorted and packed into gray and white bags. There were about 880 rolls of osmanthus-scented mosquito coils and 1,230 rolls of regular-scented mosquito coils.
As for the mosquito coils that hadn't been dried yet, she worried that the evening fog would dampen them, so she instructed He Huxun to move them to the corridor to continue drying.
At dinner time, Lao Jiang's family sat around the table happily eating, creating a very harmonious and warm atmosphere.
After dinner, Madam Zhu looked at Jiang Wanwan with a loving expression and said, "Wanwan, I'll go take your measurements in a little while, so I can make those two outfits for you when I have some free time."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Auntie." Jiang Wanwan said with a smile.
Zhu waved her hand and glared at Jiang Wanwan, "You silly girl, why are you being so polite with your second aunt?"
Jiang Wanwan smiled but remained silent.
Her second aunt treated her so well; it seems she had completely won her over with money.
Jiang Wanwan didn't feel that this relationship was impure; on the contrary, it made her feel exceptionally at ease. This relationship, maintained by mutual benefit, meant that as long as she provided her second aunt with enough benefits, she didn't need to worry about her second aunt being used by Su Wan'er against her.

The next morning, Jiang Wanwan slowly woke up to the loud crowing of roosters.
This morning, she, Jiang Xun, and Uncle Jiang Er will continue to set up their stall in town.
Jiang Wanwan got up, dressed, and went to the yard to wash up, still half asleep.
I just finished washing up when breakfast was ready at home.
When Jiang Wanwan entered the main room, the members of the Jiang family were already seated in their respective places.
Today's breakfast was exceptionally lavish. Each person had a large bowl of millet porridge in front of them, a ceramic basin with more than a dozen flatbreads, and another basin with boiled eggs.
Grandma Jiang announced with a smile, "Each person will receive a boiled egg and a pancake."
"Wow, Grandma, why are you being so generous today? There's millet porridge, boiled eggs, and even pancakes made with lard!" Jiang Jiang couldn't help but swallow hard as he looked at the food on the table.
“Yes, Grandma, you’ve been the most generous I’ve ever been to you in all the time I’ve known you.” Jiang Xun licked his lips and nodded vigorously.
"I'm in a good mood, so I won't hold it against you. Let's eat!"
