Sun was frightened when he saw the wolf. With Sun's help, Li Xiaoxiao felt much more relaxed. Soon the two of them pulled the raft back home together.

Before going up the mountain, Li Xiaoxiao said that they wanted to hunt to earn money to buy land, and that the wolf could probably be sold for around thirty taels. Sun and Li Dahai were happy but also worried, as they knew how much risk Xiaoxiao had taken for the sake of this family.

"Xiaoxiao, let's buy some land and build a house now so that we can have no worries about food and drink. We won't have to go up the mountain in the future." Li Dahai felt sorry for his daughter and really didn't want her to take risks again.

Li Xiaoxiao washed her face. Sun had been keeping the lunch warm for her. She was really hungry, so she wolfed down a few mouthfuls.

Knowing Li Dahai's concerns, she thought about it and realized that since she had hunted wolves, pheasants and rabbits could no longer satisfy her.

When she has time in the future, she wants to go to the mountains, as that is the place she longs for.

"I understand, Dad. I won't go recently. Let's talk about it later." Li Xiaoxiao gave an ambiguous reply.

Looking at the time, Zhang San's ox cart could just catch up. Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly changed into clean clothes. Just now, a few people on the road saw her wearing bloody clothes, so that was enough.

Together with Sun, they pulled the wolf's corpse onto Zhang San's ox cart. The wolf was large and took up a lot of space, so Li Xiaoxiao gave him six cents for the fare and asked him to deliver it directly to Wang the Butcher.

Zhang San accepted it after a brief hesitation, and at the same time felt deeply moved. Although Li Xiaoxiao was a girl, she was really good at hunting. Because it was close to Jiunu Mountain, many people from the village would go up the mountain to hunt. The most common animals were pheasants and rabbits, which could not be exchanged for much money. For large animals like wolves, a hunter in a village might not be able to hunt even one in a year.

Li Xiaoxiao has only been here for a short time, but he has actually hunted another one. It can only be said that he is amazing. Being able to encounter a wolf is one thing, but being able to kill a wolf is a real skill.

According to the previous agreement, Zhang San sent the wolf to Wang the Butcher. Wang the Butcher was surprised, but said nothing and weighed it readily. It turned out that Li Xiaoxiao had secretly replaced the wolf with a larger one on the way, but of course no one knew about it.

There were also three pheasants and three hares in the backpack, totaling thirty-one taels, seven hundred and eighty wen. Butcher Wang was a generous man, and he could make a lot of money by reselling wolves, so he gave Li Xiaoxiao a total of thirty-two taels, and also gave her the leftover pork bones from the morning sale as a favor, saying that if she had any good things in the future, she should send them to him, and the price would be absolutely right.

Li Xiaoxiao thanked him, touched the heavy silver in his arms, and calculated how much land he could buy. Only when he had a house and land in the countryside would he feel at ease.

They went to the same pharmacy as last time. As soon as Li Xiaoxiao walked in, the waiter recognized her.

He greeted me with a smile, "Girl, are you still selling medicine?"

"Yes, second brother, but this time they are just ordinary medicinal herbs. I don't know if you will accept them." Li Xiaoxiao put down the backpack and took out the herbs he had picked in the morning.

The waiter took a look and found that they were indeed commonly used. Their store had a regular supplier, but this girl had come to sell before and he didn't know whether the shopkeeper would accept her. He was unsure for the moment, so he had to go to the inner room to ask the shopkeeper.

Soon, Shopkeeper Yu came out, greeted Li Xiaoxiao, and looked at her herbs. Although they were all ordinary herbs, they were growing well. Shopkeeper Yu nodded.

He waved to the waiter beside him and said, "I'll take all these medicines. The price will be based on the supplier's price."

Li Xiaoxiao collected many kinds of herbs this time, most of which filled a backpack. The waiter weighed them one by one and calculated the price.

Li Xiaoxiao didn't ask about the specific price. The shopkeeper and the waiter seemed to be honest people and would not cheat her.

It wasn't long before the money was settled. The total sum was half a tael of silver, which was five hundred coins. Li Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with this price. It seemed that she would have to collect more herbs in the future. Herbs were much more expensive than those from pheasants and rabbits, and were also more convenient to carry down the mountain.

The waiter put half a tael of silver on the counter. Just as Li Xiaoxiao was about to reach out to take it, a hand suddenly emerged from behind her and took the half tael of silver.

At the same time, a man's voice came from behind.

"Li Xiaoxiao, you actually secretly collected herbs and sold them for money without telling your family. You are so bold."

Shopkeeper Yu and Li Xiaoxiao turned to look at the person who was speaking at the same time. He was a teenage boy of short stature with a fierce look on his face.

The person in front of him looked familiar, but Li Xiaoxiao couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you afraid that I will go back and complain to my grandparents, so you pretend not to know me?" The man looked arrogant, thinking he had caught her.

After hearing what he said, Li Xiaoxiao remembered who the person in front of him was: his uncle's son, Li Chengcai, Li Jiaojiao's twin brother.

Li Chengcai seldom returns to the village and is seen only a few times a year. Even when he comes back, he ignores them, saying that they are all peasants and he looks down on them from the bottom of his heart.

She was afraid, which was really ridiculous. It was obvious that Li Jiaojiao did not tell anyone about their separation when she returned.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it was my eldest cousin who idles around all day, eating, drinking and having fun." Li Xiaoxiao directly retorted. Even Old Lady Li couldn't take advantage of her, let alone him.

"It's been just a short time since we last met. You've grown more capable and even learned how to collect herbs and sell them. I will not pursue what happened today. Just give me all the money you earned from collecting herbs and I'll let you go." Li Chengcai had an attitude of "I'm doing this for your own good." He knew the situation of Li Xiaoxiao's family in the Li family. If he told her grandparents, he would definitely skin her alive.

"You are indeed a nest of snakes and rats. You are of the same character as the Li family. Didn't Li Jiaojiao tell you that our family has been separated and settled? Why do you have to tell me how I make money?" Li Xiaoxiao is not tall, but facing Li Chengcai, who is much taller than him, he is imposing and not at all timid.

Li Chengcai was stunned. He had never heard his sister mention it before, but so what? Even if it was divided up, it was still a member of the Li family. The money had to be handed over to the Li family. He subconsciously held tightly in his arms the silver he had just snatched.

"We are still a family even if we split up the family. If we get any money, we should give it to the Li family." Li Chengcai said this reluctantly, and at the same time he wanted to leave.

Li Dajiang has been a scholar since he was born. When he grew up, Li Dajiang wanted to cultivate his reading skills, but he just wouldn't listen. Later, as he grew up, seeing that he really had no talent for reading, Li Dajiang no longer cared about him. He had no land in the county town and did not have to work in the fields. After a long time, he played together with a group of gangsters.

Today, he was strolling on the street and accidentally saw a familiar figure. He walked into the pharmacy with doubts, and found that it was indeed an acquaintance, his second uncle's cousin.

After listening to their conversation for a while, Li Chengcai realized that Li Xiaoxiao was here to sell herbs. When he saw the waiter put the calculated half tael of silver on the counter, he grabbed it without saying a word.

It was half a tael of silver. He only had 100 wen pocket money a month, which was not enough to spend. With this, he could invite a few people to have a good drink.

"Put down the silver and I will spare you this time. I picked these herbs from Jiunu Mountain. If you want the silver, go there yourself." Li Xiaoxiao saw through his thoughts and knew that as long as he handed over the silver, he would be spared.

How could it be possible to return the money he had already earned? Li Chengcai seized the opportunity and ran towards the door.

How could Li Xiaoxiao let him do as he wished? The moment he tried to run, she reached out and grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck, then kicked him in the stomach.
