After seeing Zhao Mingyuan off, the family closed the door.

After Liu helped move the things into the house, she discovered what her daughter had bought.

Oh my God, rice, flour, cloth, oil, salt, and this...how much did this wild ginseng sell for?

Liu quickly grabbed Xiao Wan and asked anxiously, "Wan'er, why is mother a little scared? Why did you buy so many things? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Wan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she also knew that her mother was impatient.

So he quickly replied: "Mom, I sold two recipes to help me out. I was thinking about starting a snack business in the future, so I need some starting capital."

"Besides, I also want to let Zhengping go to school first..."

"What? Our family can't afford Zhengping's schooling."

Although Liu was aggressive, she also knew her family's situation.

It's not that she doesn't love her child, but how could a farmer's family possibly afford to send a student to school? She knew her situation. The family couldn't even afford to eat.

Although my daughter earns money, it will take more than one or two years to support a student's schooling. How long can the money last? Besides, she still needs to eat.

Xiao Wan turned to look at Xiao Zhengping, and sure enough, she saw that his eyes lit up when he heard that he could go to school.

Later, after hearing what Liu said, he lowered his head again, obviously knowing his own situation.

After seeing this, Xiao Wan understood what was going on and pulled her mother to sit down.

He pretended to take out the silver notes from his arms, but actually took them out from the space and handed them to Liu. After buying things out of the ninety-five taels of silver, there were still fifty taels left, and there were still two thousand five hundred taels of silver notes.

Liu's eyes widened, looking in disbelief at the banknotes stuffed into her hand by her daughter.

He trembled and asked Xiao Wan, "Wan'er, what...what is this? Is this a banknote? Or a stack of banknotes?"

God bless her, she rarely handled even a few taels of silver in her life.

He was stunned when he saw the small change his daughter took out, not to mention that she was holding a banknote.

Oh my god, am I dreaming? Liu reached out and pinched the person next to her.

There was a loud "Ah!", which was Old Man Xiao's wailing. Liu came to her senses and saw Old Man Xiao covering his arm in a daze. Then she knew clearly in her heart that it was true.

Old Man Xiao glanced at Liu with a reproachful look, but was secretly happy in his heart, as it turned out that his wife had the same reaction.

I thought my wife was a bit of a shrew and would be able to handle it, but she was just as excited as I was. Haha, it seems I'm not the only one who's ignorant.

Xiao Wan stroked her forehead, not expecting her parents to be so funny. Father Xiao then told Liu what happened today.

Liu was horrified when she heard this. Her daughter was really bold. Wan'er's temperament had changed drastically since she fell off the mountain.

She used to be a little timid when speaking, not as bold and outspoken as she is now. Is she still my daughter?

Thinking of this, Liu turned to look at Xiao Wan.

Xiao Wan was startled by Liu's stare and turned her head unconsciously, thinking to herself, "Oh no! Will Liu find out that I have switched partners with her daughter?"

When she looked up again, Liu had turned to Old Man Xiao and continued talking to him with her expression as usual.

Xiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she might be dazzled.

Liu held the banknote in her hand, looked at it again and again, then handed it to Xiao Wan and said, "Wan'er, you should keep this money. I'm scared and uneasy if I leave it in my hands."

Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Mother, you're not at ease even though you have money. How about this? I'll take 500 taels as start-up capital for your business, and you can keep the remaining 2,000 taels. Keep the small change for daily use, and I'll ask you for more when I need it."

"Dad and Mom, you don't have to worry about tuition fees for Zhengping to go to school. Even if he doesn't pass the imperial examination, he still needs to study and learn knowledge. It would be good for him to become an accountant in the future."

"Wan'er is right. It was only after she learned a few words from the village doctor that she wasn't afraid of being cheated by the restaurant when signing the contract. Studying is good. Mother, let Zhengping go to school. I'll also help Wan'er earn more money."

Old Man Xiao thought of Xiao Wan looking at the contract in the restaurant and said to Liu.

"Oh, okay, Mom got it. Let's go to school, let's go to school."

Liu responded, and Xiao Zhengping's face turned red with excitement.

As for the school, only An'er from Uncle Tiequan's family and Cheng'er from the head of the village could go there in the village. I was so envious of them when I saw them studying.

Especially Brother Cheng, he is already a scholar. I am very envious of him, but I can't say it.

He knew his family's situation, so he buried this wish in his heart.

The second sister earns money to support his studies and ensure that the family has enough food and drink. She also has to study hard herself and not let her family down.

In the future, I will study hard so that I can support and protect my family.

The family agreed to go to town to find a school in the next few days. Xiao Wan pointed at the cloth and said to Liu, "Mom, can you make new clothes for us and grandma?"

"Oh, okay, let's do it. Thanks to my daughter, Mom will ask your Aunt Wang for help and we will all change into new clothes." Liu smiled with satisfaction.

Then Liu started looking for a place to hide the money. After hiding the money, Liu and Old Man Xiao sorted the things together and placed them there.

The moment Liu went out with the rice bag, she couldn't stop crying.

She knew that her daughter would never come back.

The current one is not her daughter, only in appearance, but she will also treat her as her own daughter. However, only she knows that the real Xiao Wan is gone, and life must go on.

I hope the real Xiao Wan can rest in peace.
