The small shops in the ordinary streets and alleys of Bianjing are small in size and are not located in the most prosperous areas.

If it is a small shop of about ten square meters, it may cost 100-200 taels of silver.

These small shops may mainly do some small businesses, such as selling needles and thread, snacks, etc.

In the most prosperous commercial areas of Bianjing, such as the bustling market areas near Daxiangguo Temple, the price of a larger shop is very high.

It may cost 1000-3000 taels of silver. Because there is a large flow of people here and frequent activities around, such a shop can bring in huge profits, so the price remains high.

The housing prices in the downtown area of ​​Bianjing were also astonishing. If it was an ordinary courtyard-style house with an area of ​​about 200-300 square meters, it would cost 2000-5000 taels of silver.

This type of house usually has multiple rooms such as the main house and wing rooms, and is suitable for a family to live in.

If it is a luxurious mansion with gardens, ponds and other landscape facilities, the price is even more difficult to estimate, costing tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In other words, with all the money Lin Wanwan had in Beijing, she could only buy a slightly smaller farm.

Lin Wanwan sighed. It was really difficult to make money in ancient times.

She looked at the sky and realized that she had been in ancient times for almost two months.

Lin Datou's group was filled with joy. He held up more than 20 money bags and said, "Master Bai, we just found a lot of money bags from them. Let's divide the money equally!"

He opened all 20 or so money bags and counted them. "A total of coins. I didn't expect these people to have so much money. Then every family here will have a share."

After saying that, he distributed all the money. Master Bai twitched his lips but said nothing.

What could he say? Most of the money was pocketed by Toffee. He wasn't stupid.

Besides, the money that Naitang took was all given to Lin Wanwan. This was the tacit understanding among everyone.

Just after dividing the money, Lin Shitou exclaimed, "Oh my! I'm so scared! Boss, come here quickly! There are actually two children and a woman in this car."

Lin Datou rushed over and saw the woman in the car wearing tattered clothes. She looked at them and said, "Save...save my child..."

When Mrs. Bai walked over, she saw a very thin woman. She used to be quite pretty, but now she was just a skeleton.

Madam Bai looked at her and said, "Let me take your pulse!"

She took the woman's pulse directly. The woman looked emaciated. Long-term malnutrition and abuse had made her body on the verge of collapse.

His limbs were as thin as straw and covered with marks of abuse, with deep marks on his wrists and ankles.

She no longer had the strength to support her body. Every breath she took seemed extremely labored, her chest rising and falling violently, making a sound like a bellows.

"Madam, please... please help my two children, madam... wuwuwu...

I have no other options, I know I can’t survive…”

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the scars on her body, her face full of pity, and covered her mouth.

The woman suddenly grabbed her hand with all her strength and said:

"I... I know you're a good person, please save them... One of them is four years old, and the other is only two years old. They don't understand anything...

You can make them slaves or maids, or work like cattle and horses, as long as you can give them a bite to eat... that's enough...

As long as you can return to Bianjing alive, you...you take this hairpin and go find...find Su Wancai. He will...will thank you for me..."

The woman pulled out the wooden hairpin and placed it in Zhao Qiaoniang's hand. She then took her son's hand and gave him some detailed instructions before slowly lowering her hand.

Zhao Qiaoniang gently pushed her and said, "You... don't die! Aunt Bai, can you save her? Wuuwuwu..."

Madam Bai shook her head, her throat choking as she spoke, "This woman must have been toyed with by those beasts. Given her physical condition, it's been incredibly difficult for her to hold on until now."

Zhao Qiaoniang's nose felt sore: "It's really not easy for a woman and a child to survive!"

The little boy gently pushed the woman and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you hungry? Can we not eat anything today and give you all the good things?"

The little girl was so scared that she burst into tears, "Brother... Mother, I want Mother, wuwuwu..."

Zhao Qiaoniang wiped away her tears and asked, "What are your names?"

The little boy whispered:

"My name is Su Xingchen, and my sister is Su Mingyue...

"Auntie, what happened to my mother? Will I no longer have a mother?"

Zhao Qiaoniang choked up, raised her head, took a deep breath and said, "No, your mother will be watching you from heaven."

They buried their daughter directly in a very secluded place. Although it was secluded, there was a very large ginkgo tree next to it.

If Su Xingchen wants to come here to find his mother in the future, it will be easy to find her.

Zhao Qiaoniang made them kowtow three times before looking at Master Bai and saying, "Uncle Bai, what do you think we should do with these two children?"

Master Bai smiled faintly and said, "Qiao Niang, you still have to make the decisions on our family's major matters. After all, if it weren't for you, we would probably be..."

Zhao Qiaoniang thought for a moment and said:

"If we really leave such a young child alone, he will surely die.

I was thinking we should just take them all.”

Lin Datou was stunned:

"What? You want to take these two children with you? I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?

We have encountered so many things along the way, and no one can predict what will happen next.

Besides, we can’t even take care of our own children. My opinion is… everyone has their own destiny, so let them fend for themselves!”

Lin Datou looked at the child not far away and sighed in his heart. It would be fine if it were just two adults.

But these are two children?

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the child, who was about her own age, and sighed, "It's just a matter of a few mouthfuls of food..."

Su Xingchen took Su Mingyue's hand and walked to Zhao Qiaoniang, then knelt down on the ground: "Auntie, please save us. My sister and I will repay you."

Zhao Qiaoniang quickly helped them up and said, "Good children, stop crying! Are you hungry? Aunt Bai, how about preparing some food for the children?"

Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "There are still a few dumplings. You two should eat something first."

Su Xingchen and Su Mingyue looked at the eight dumplings in the bowl and swallowed their saliva. Su Xingchen said, "Sister, eat more."

Su Mingyue rubbed her eyes and said, "Brother, are my eyes blurry? I actually saw dumplings."

Su Xingchen looked at her and said, "Eat! Eat more..."

"Hmm..." Su Mingyue reached out to grab it, but Madam Bai grabbed her hand and said, "Wait a minute, your hands are too dirty, you can't eat anything."
