I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

In fact, in her previous life, Song An Ning didn't believe in ghosts at all, but since her soul came here, she seemed to be a female ghost from another world.

After accepting this setting, I feel more awe towards ghosts and gods.

Seeing that Song An Ning didn't say anything, the shopkeeper pulled a stool over and asked her to sit down. Then he began with a beaming expression:

"Speaking of this matter, I'm afraid few people know more details than me..."

I have to say that this man has great eloquence. At first, Song Anning was not very interested, but after listening to his vivid description, she became more interested.

From what he said, I learned that more than 20 years ago, the house was bought by a pregnant woman.

It was rare for a pregnant woman about to give birth to leave her hometown and settle down in Ping'an Town. But unexpectedly, a few months later, the woman died in the courtyard.

The shopkeeper said that the woman died in a horrific way. Her stomach was cut open, her eyes were gouged out, and she was thrown into a well.

Later, the house changed hands several times. The buyer came back dejectedly to sell the house within a month, saying that he could always hear a woman crying when he slept at night.

"Well, it was a huge deal at the time. Everyone in town who's a little older knows that this house is a total loss."

The shopkeeper sighed. To him, death in a house was common, but such an evil death was rare.

"Girl, let's look at other places. These two courtyards are both nice. They are spacious, quiet, and not far from the main street. They are convenient for everything."

She would definitely not consider a house with problems like this one. The two houses she liked were larger, but the location was a bit remote, and the price was four hundred and eighty taels of silver.

The smaller one cost four hundred and ten taels and had a good location.

"Let's go take a look at these two houses first, and then I'll make plans."

She hadn't had enough fun going to the beach two days ago, and she wanted to cut the Gordian knot and finish her business before going to Linhai Town.

After looking at it, Song Anning had to admit that the painter hired by this dental clinic was really good. There was almost no difference between the drawings in the booklet and the actual ones.

In the end, Song Anning chose the small courtyard and bought it for four hundred taels. The shopkeeper said the original owner of the house was a businessman, and now that his business has grown, he has moved into a larger house with three entrances.

I went to the government office to transfer the ownership and got the house deeds and land deeds. The people from the real estate agency said they would clean the house this afternoon and I could move in tomorrow morning.

It seems that she will have to go to town tomorrow to help grandma move.

After everything was done, there was still some time before dark, so she decided to take a few people for a good stroll.

I have been in this dynasty for more than 20 days and have been to Ping'an Town several times, but each time I was in a hurry.

He knew that Ayuan and Ayue's biggest wish was to come to town with her, eat some delicious food and buy some small things.

There is also Wang Sheng, who is eight years old and this is his first time to come to Ping'an Town. Let's take them all out together to make them happy.

Knowing that Song An Ning and the others were not in a hurry to go back, Song Erhe decided to go ahead. There were still so many duck eggs at home that had not been pickled, so making money was more important.

"Second Grandpa, let's take your ox cart to the market. I want to buy some things."

Song Erhe agreed happily, thinking that Song An Ning wanted to buy some food and asked him to help bring it back.

But she didn't expect that when she got to the market, she only bought some snacks and cakes for children, and also cut a large piece of high-quality pork belly and handed it to him.

"Thank you for making this trip, Second Grandpa. This is a gift from me, your granddaughter, to you and Second Grandma. Take it quickly."

Song Erhe quickly refused: "Oh, what kind of trouble is this? A family is still talking about this?

A few days ago you brought a large bowl of chicken and rabbit meat, and now you bought so much more. If I accepted it, I would feel embarrassed."

"A family is still talking about this? Now that Aning has money, shouldn't she buy more food for the elders?"

Song Anning walked around him, packed the things and put them in the car.

Hearing the girl repeat what he had just said back to him, Song Erhe put his hands behind his back and chuckled softly.

"Okay, this is a gift from my granddaughter, so I'll accept it with a thick face. Don't buy it again next time. Keep the money in your hand well and don't spend it carelessly."

After giving him a few more lectures, Song Erhe drove the ox cart back. He hummed a little tune along the way, with an unprecedented happiness and pride on his face.

When he brought half the village to Aning's house to collect the debt, it seemed like it happened just yesterday.

But now, this little girl has paid off her foreign debts, bought land, hired people, and started a business, and has become independent.

Even he, the second grandfather, benefited a lot from it. He used to lament the misfortune of his family with deep sorrow, but now he has no such emotion at all.

When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. After Song Er and Yi left, the other children became more active. Wang Qiuyue led Wang Sheng, while Song Anning led Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue to stroll around the market.

Having money gave them confidence. Wang Qiuyue had just received one and a half taels of wages, and she said to the three little ones in a very proud manner:

"Whatever you want to eat, Sister Qiuyue will buy it for you."

"Eat peanut crisps..."

"I want candied haws and chestnut cake..."

Only Wang Sheng looked at the surrounding stalls curiously without saying a word.

He had never heard what Ayuan and Ayue said. Looking at the dazzling array of goods on the stall, he just thought everything was delicious.

"I'll buy them all. Aning, don't take the money. We agreed that I'll buy them for them."

Wang Qiuyue stopped Song An Ning behind her and took out a small silver ingot from her purse.

In her opinion, everything in the town was very expensive, and these snacks would cost at least a few hundred copper coins. However, she didn't feel sorry for the money at all. It was the first time she had earned so much money, so she wanted to be willful for once.

I bought a variety of preserved fruits, pine nut candies, chestnut cakes, walnut cakes... When it came time to settle the bill, the vendor held up the silver ingot and said with some embarrassment:

"It's eighty coins in total. I don't have many copper coins in my box, so I'm afraid I can't even find a tael of silver."

"..."

These four or five packages are only eighty coins? Wang Qiuyue's face turned red instantly, and she quickly took out a small piece of silver from her purse and handed it over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song An Ning hired a carriage. She didn't want to go shopping with a lot of bags.

With the carriage, it was much more convenient to buy things. She bought 30 pounds of white rice and 30 pounds of white flour, a slab of pork ribs, a pair of pork offal, and 10 pounds of lard. It was rare to find mutton for sale, so she bought a few pounds of mutton.

"Aning, these snacks are only eighty wen. I thought they were several hundred wen."

"Haha, why would they need so much? Quickly open a pack and give it to them. Our Ah Yue is almost drooling."

Wang Qiuyue slapped her head in amusement, and quickly took out a bag and let each of the children grab a handful.

"Aning, try it too. It looks delicious."

"Yeah, delicious!"

The few of them ate and walked around, and the carriage slowly followed behind. The driver held the snacks that Wang Qiuyue had just given him in his hand, and looked at the children in front of him with an inexplicable auntie smile on his face.

It’s great that the children’s world is free of impurities. They can be happy for a long time just by eating a few snacks.

After walking a little further, Wang Qiuyue bought some cotton thread to make clothes, while Song Anning bought a few purses to replace the old purses of several people, and also bought a pair of shoes for each of them.

"Aning, I can make all of these. A pair of shoes costs dozens of coins, which is too expensive."

Song Anning didn't think it was a big deal. Needlework is time-consuming and tiring for the eyes, especially making shoes. Thousand-layer soles are not that easy to make. Even though he hired Wang Qiuyue, he couldn't just work like a donkey for her.

"Making shoes takes so much time. How long does it take you to make a pair of shoes?"

Wang Qiuyue thought about it and realized that if she did nothing but make shoes, it would take a whole day.

Song Anning asked again: "How long does it take to pickle a jar of duck eggs?"

"..."

Now, she understood what Aning meant.

It takes a whole day to make a pair of shoes, which is worth only a few dozen coins, while it only takes a quarter of an hour to pickle a jar of duck eggs, which is worth nearly two taels of silver.

It's because her vision is too narrow. She spends so much time on small things that she naturally has no time to think about big things.

Wang Qiuyue felt suddenly enlightened. Looking at the tall city wall, she waved her hand proudly:

"Aning, let's go for a walk in town!"
