Shen Chou also felt that he was very strange, and finally attributed this strangeness to the magic of the monster in front of him.

Although it was far-fetched, he really couldn't think of any other explanation.

In the end, I could only grab the hoe and work in the fields to cover up this inexplicable throbbing.

After he felt a little dizzy after working twice, the hoe returned to Yu Ruyue's hands.

When she cleared out another area, she slowly made ridges, dug small holes, and scattered seeds in them. Shen Chou helped fill the soil and water the fields behind her. The two of them cooperated very well, and soon all the seeds were planted.

Yu Ruyue looked at the neatly-tidy garden in front of her with a smile on her face, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Shen Chou lowered his head and looked at Yu Ruyue, who was standing with her hands on her hips, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling. He felt that because of this little elf, her face didn't look so annoying anymore.

Yu Ruyue returned to the house and just rested for a while before she was called over by the Shu family next door to help with the last step of the hawthorn cake. After finishing this, she came back and cooked a big pot of rice, cut the cucumber and carrot into thin strips, fried some eggs, and put them aside to dry. After everything was done, she was sweating profusely again. She returned to the west room, closed the door, and immediately slipped into the space to wash it carefully.

When she came out again, Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan had returned from the town and were talking to Shen Chou.

"Nephew! Let me tell you, we're incredibly lucky today. As soon as we got to the place in town where we buy mountain products, we heard that your master, the Li family, the richest family in Lu County, is about to celebrate his birthday."

"The younger generations in the family are all thinking about how to come up with a novel gift to please Mr. Li."

"I thought about it and decided that instead of selling these things to a shop that collects mountain products and then having them resell them to Mr. Li's family, I might as well go directly to their house and ask them if they want our things."

"As a result, I was extremely lucky that the random person I stopped at the door turned out to be Mr. Li's eldest son, Li Quan."

"As soon as he saw the venomous snake and the living little fox in my hand, he immediately decided to take both of them. He said his father had previously mobilized many people to go up the mountain to catch this coral snake to make wine, but he didn't expect us to get it by accident."

"As for the little fox, he planned to buy it as a gift for his pregnant wife to please her!"

As Yu Dehou spoke, he carefully took out the neatly arranged silver bills from his pocket.

"These two things together gave me three hundred and forty taels!"

"That's enough money to buy a house here."

Yu Ruyue walked out of the room with a look of surprise on her face. "How could these two things actually sell for three hundred and forty taels?!"

"Brother! You're amazing! You make more money in just one trip to the mountains than I can make in a month of toiling away."

"Cattle!"

Shen Chou didn't think it was anything special. If these two things were sold in Kyoto, they would probably fetch over a thousand taels. However, it was unexpected that they could be sold for more than 300 taels in this small county town.

This old goblin is indeed quite capable.

Liang Shulan frowned slightly when she heard her daughter's words. "You can't say that. Xiao Chou risked his life to get this money. Don't ever take risks by yourself in the mountains again. If anything happens to you, even 1000 or taels won't be enough to buy it back."

Yu Dehou also nodded in agreement. "Look, I'm just too happy. Your aunt is right. Master Li hired many people to catch the coral snake, but none of them succeeded. Instead, they were bitten to death by it. So don't take risks in the future. Maybe we were just lucky this time."

Little worry! ?

This was the first time someone called him that.

Surprisingly not offensive...

However, Shen Chou did not accept the money. Instead, he pushed it in front of Yu Ruyue and said, "You can keep this money! Go to the town and buy some more hairpins and perfumes for women. If you want to open a shop, take the money and go negotiate for a shop!"

The five members of the Yu family were all surprised. This was 340 taels of silver! How could it be treated as if it were just three or four taels of silver?!

"Brother, I don't want to have any money myself. You can spend this money."

When Shen Chou heard this, he felt as if he had suffered a great injustice. "Why is my sister-in-law so estranged from my brother? If everything has to be calculated so clearly, I won't dare to take the medicine you buy for me in the future."

Seeing his aggrieved look, Yu Ruyue felt she was in the wrong and finally accepted the money, promising, "Since Big Brother trusts me, I'll take it. Don't worry, I won't spend it recklessly. I'll save it all and help Big Brother get married later."

Sad...

Why did his hands suddenly itch so much? He really wanted to cut off this damn girl's tongue and tell her not to say such nonsense again.

Yu Ruyue had no idea what he was thinking. She happily put the money away and took her parents to make seaweed rice rolls. As for Yu Shi and Yu Tian, they took two wooden boards from Shen's house and went back to prepare their accommodation for the night.

In the kitchen, Yu Ruyue watched her father's busy back and suddenly remembered the 100 kilograms of sausage casings she bought today. "Oh, right! Dad! I remember you can not only make meat sausages, but also egg sausages. Why don't we make some ourselves and sell them in town!"

Yu Dehou straightened up, a bit confused. "Sausage?! But sausage casings are hard to find here. Whatever is available has been bought up by big restaurants."

Yu Ruyue winked playfully, "I bought it a long time ago!"

Liang Shulan finished making the last portion of kimbap in her hand, looked at the sky, and made the final decision, "Buy some kimbap tomorrow, and then come back and ask your dad to make sausages!"

The next morning, Yu Ruyue stretched lazily. The breeze was cool, and it was the most comfortable time of the day.

Knock, knock, knock. It was the first day that the Shu family went out to sell hawthorn cakes. They were so nervous that they got up before dawn to check whether the hawthorn cakes were solidified and whether all the preparations were complete. Then the whole family just sat there crying, waiting for dawn, waiting for any sound from Yu Ruyue's side.

Because they were paying special attention, they rushed over and knocked on the door as soon as they heard a sound.

Yu Ruyue smiled as she opened the door. She saw Shu Dachao and Qiuhong, a couple, standing outside the door in their washed-out clothes, looking sheepish. "Ruyue, when are we leaving? I'm so nervous I can hardly breathe."

Yu Ruyue looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the two men and realized that they must have not slept all night.

"After I finish cleaning up and have a quick bite, we'll take the bullock cart to town to sell our goods. Don't worry, I told you, we can set up stalls next to each other, so nothing will go wrong!"

Qiuhong tugged at her clothes nervously. "We made this dress for our wedding, and we only wear it when we go out to visit friends during festivals. I wonder if it would embarrass you if I wore it out like this?"

Yu Ruyue quickly smiled and patted her shoulder. "Why are you embarrassed? Look, I'm wearing coarse cloth. We earn our money with our own hands and abilities. There's nothing shameful about wearing anything, as long as it's clean and tidy!"

Qiuhong breathed a sigh of relief when she got a positive answer.

Yu Ruyue took a bite of food and waited for a while. Shen Jiaojiao and Liang Shulan also followed over.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go."

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Liang Shulan in surprise, "What? Your mother is going too?!"
