Knowing that everyone could wait, Cheng Yue didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly told everyone the price of the herbs.

Everyone gasped and was speechless, with their jaws dropped.

Chen An put the basket of copper coins on the ground. After hearing the rustling sound, everyone realized, "Oh my God! How much silver is this? Is it all ours?"

After getting Cheng Yue's affirmative nod, they wanted to jump three feet high. They had lived for decades and had never seen so much money.

Cheng Yue raised her hand and said, "Okay, don't get too excited, let's hand out the money now, and then we can continue to go up the mountain!"

Everyone's heart was pounding and they had to take several deep breaths to calm it down a little. How could they not be excited?

But Cheng Yue was right, they had only collected herbs for half a month, and they still had to go up the mountain! The money was not just what they had now.

Cheng Yue took out a small notebook and read out the numbers one by one. She read out the weight and calculated the bill. After confirming with everyone that everything was correct, she went to Chen An to get the money.

Feng was the first to receive the money. Holding the heavy ten strings of copper coins, she suddenly felt her legs go weak: "We actually have more than 1 tael and 5 coins..."

It's only been half a month and I've already got so much money. I couldn't even imagine it before!

The village head hurriedly gave him a hand. It seemed that his wife had a similar fate as him, and she must have felt dizzy.

"Keep these away, we'll go up the mountain later, and Shao Wen won't have to worry about getting married next month!"

Now there is no need for Cheng Yue to give Shao Wen an advance on his wages.

"Okay, okay!" Feng came to her senses and went into the house immediately. But how could she hide so much money?

Feng in the room was so worried that she didn't know what to do, while money was still being distributed outside the door. Everyone received it one after another, and voices of disbelief were heard one after another.

"Someone come and slap me! This must be a dream!"

"Snap! How is it? Does it hurt?"

Who is really going to hit me? Why are you so rude? Cheng Yue shook her head and laughed. She didn't expect that everyone was like this.

"Hahaha! It really hurts! It's real!"

"I feel like I can't carry this much money! How can I spend more than one tael of silver?"

"What you said, if you can't spend it, I'll spend it for you, haha!"

"go with!"

Everyone was so happy that tears were falling as they talked. This was the happiest day of their lives.

I used to feel that life was too hard and meaningless, but now I finally see hope, and it feels so good to have a goal to strive for!

Especially Wang Qiufen and the three maids, they were already crying their eyes out. When there was a lazy boy in the family, they couldn't even hide a penny, and they had never known how it felt to take money.

Now that Er Laizi has been taken away and they have made money, they feel more at ease than ever before.

Wang Qiufen wiped her tears and said, "Sister Cheng Yue, thank you! If you hadn't taken us to collect herbs, I wouldn't know how to pay back the money I owe everyone..."

After that, he turned to the head of the village and said to everyone, "There is still food at home. I will not keep any money here. I will pay back part of the debt today, and I will pay back the rest as soon as possible!"

They owed everyone too much. They used to think that it would be good enough if they could pay it off in this lifetime. They didn't expect to earn a few ounces of silver so soon. The mountain that was pressing on them finally loosened!

As long as she is diligent enough and collects more herbs, she will be able to pay off all the debts as quickly as possible!

The head of the village waved his hand and said, "You keep some of it. Now everyone has some to use. If you don't need it, take it out!"

It always feels bad to owe debts. If Wang Qiufen doesn't pay back a penny, she will definitely feel bad. They will just collect a part of it.

Everyone followed and advised, "Yes, sister Qiu Fen, you can't take it all out. You have to keep some money in your hand!"

"We've already received the money today, so there's no need to rush to pay it back!"

However, Wang Qiufen had made up her mind and no one could stop her, so she had no choice but to agree.

The amount of money borrowed by each family was different, and the village head made the decision. He first paid off the families who borrowed less. These families were not doing well, so they could pay it back slowly.

The money was returned before it even got warm in her hands, but Wang Qiufen didn't care at all. Instead, she felt unusually relaxed and happy!

Zhao Luoguo also stepped forward and took out a small portion of his own money to pay off the debt. His family had some money saved at the time, but the incident happened suddenly and he didn't have time to take it out.

Later, Zhao Datou dug out the money from the collapsed room. He had almost paid off all the debt, except for a small amount. It was just in time to pay it all off today.

Zhao Luoguo was grinning happily as he felt free of his debt.

The head of the village sighed inwardly, feeling indescribable. Their village was really getting better and better!

Then he waved his hand and said, "Okay! Now that we have the money, you can put your worries back in place. Let's pack up and go up the mountain!"

"That's right! It's more exciting to do this!"

Everyone was smiling and in a good mood, and they expressed their gratitude and appreciation to Cheng Yue.

"Cheng Yue girl, you are the lucky star of our village! We are all blessed by you. From now on, we will listen to you. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west!"

"Yes, we have you to thank for what we have today! We promise not to learn from those heartless people!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Everyone, believe me, and I believe everyone too. Go pick herbs quickly, and don't delay making money!"

Everyone laughed and said hello to Cheng Yue and the others and prepared to go home to hide the money. However, when they turned around, they saw those who had not picked herbs looking at them eagerly.

"What are you doing here? You didn't trust Chen An and his wife in the beginning. Don't you regret it now that we got the money?"

"I'm telling you, there's no point in regretting it! Who told you to listen to Grandma Sun's instigation? Don't look for the wrong person if you want to settle the score!"

Everyone was blocking the front, looking very unhappy. It was not like Cheng Yue had not given them chances. It was just that they were not firm and believed what Grandma Sun said!

You are not here to cause trouble, are you? We can't let Cheng Yue and the others get bullied!

The villagers who were being talked about looked unhappy. They just wanted to come over and take a look, and by the way, ask Cheng Yue and Chen An if they really wouldn't give them a chance?

But looking at their expressions, you can tell that they can't even get past their fellow villagers, not to mention the village head is watching them.

It's all Grandma Sun's fault! They could have made money, but she dragged them along and talked nonsense. Now, the food that was already in front of them was knocked over by them!

"Let's go! Let's settle accounts with Granny Sun!"

Everyone looked angry and turned away.

Aunt Li, who was enjoying the fun, suddenly said, "Let's go together! Mrs. Sun slandered Chen An and his wife, and she hasn't paid a penny yet!"

Compared to seeking justice for Cheng Yue, picking herbs can be postponed. Anyway, I won’t be able to escape if I don’t pick them all afternoon. But it would be a shame not to see the jokes of Grandma Sun and Zhao!

"I almost forgot about this. There's also Mrs. Cao. Let's see if they will give us some money! They want to make fun of us? No way!"

Everyone nodded immediately. It’s better to get slapped in the face sooner rather than later!

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Let's go now!"

This was something that had been agreed upon in advance, so as the village head, he must of course uphold justice.

Cheng Yue and Chen An had no objection. Since everyone was there, it was a good opportunity to give them some more firepower!
