Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

"This is a good thing. If we can dig more cassava, more people will survive this famine and there will be fewer refugees on the road."

Shen Wanning's voice trailed off at the end. Having her things robbed by refugees today made her angry, but even more so, sad.

Becoming refugees was not their wish, but a necessity of life. She came to this world, and if she could help the people, she wanted to do more to help them.

Lin Jingyou sensed her mood change and patted her shoulder gently. "What's the matter? Didn't you just want to tell me how much the ginseng was sold for? Why don't you tell me? Look how anxious you've made me!"

Speaking of ginseng, Shen Wanning became more interested. "Mom, you don't know, that ginseng sold for a full eighty taels!"

Then, Shen Wanning scratched his head and chuckled, "But I used up fifteen taels, so only sixty-five taels are left!"

She hadn't actually calculated how much she'd spent today. It was probably between fifteen and twenty taels. But just to round it up, she simply said she'd spent fifteen taels.

Shen Wanning put her hands into her sleeves, actually taking out sixty-five taels of silver from the express delivery station and handing it to Aunt Zhang. "Mother, this is the remaining sixty-five taels of silver, please keep it."

"No, no, this is your money. We can't take it. You keep it." Aunt Zhang waved her hands and pushed her hand away.

"Oh, Sister Wan Ning, aren't these silver ingots heavy when you put them in your sleeves? It's hard for you. It must be uncomfortable to carry them on the road!" Xu stared at the silver ingots with shining eyes, and then shouted.

Lin Jingyou knew Shen Wanning had her own secrets and guessed that the silver ingot might not have been taken out of her sleeve. So when he heard Xu's question, he almost laughed out loud after just taking a bite of food. Being well-mannered, he held it back and coughed repeatedly from the choking.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you choke like this while eating?" After saying that, Aunt Zhang rushed forward and patted him again and again.

"Thank you, mother. Ahem, I'm sorry for being rude." Lin Jingyou coughed for a while before he recovered.

However, it was precisely because of his interruption that Shen Wanning perfectly avoided Xu's question. She put the silver ingot back into her sleeve, thinking that the money would be spent on the Lin family anyway.

It is safest to keep the money at the express delivery station. Besides, in this way, Aunt Zhang and the others will not know how much silver she has and how much she has spent, so it will be much more convenient for her to buy things for them.

Because they were so eager to see the gifts, they ate faster than usual. Lin He finished first, followed by Lin Jiang.

Even Lin Dashan ate faster than usual. After they finished their meal, Xu put the dishes in the kitchen and had no time to wash them.

Aunt Zhang scolded with a smile, "You are such a short-sighted person! You can't take your eyes off anything good. Forget it, I'll go wash the dishes with you, and then we'll go see it after we're done."

Mrs. Xu didn't care either. She chuckled and said, "Mother really understands me. If you ask me, Sister Wan Ning bought so many good things. Who wouldn't miss them after seeing them?"

After Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Xu finished washing the dishes, the two of them went into the house together. At this time, Lin Jiang and Lin He had already started eating the cakes they bought for them.

Lin Jiang only tasted a small piece before wrapping up the rest and putting it in his arms. Lin He ate half of the pack directly before reluctantly putting the rest in his arms.

"Dad, this is the pipe I bought for you. You've been using that one for many years, right? I just happened to see this one today, so I bought it for you." Shen Wanning handed the pipe to Lin Dashan with a smile.

Lin Dashan's eyes were moist and his hands were shaking. He tried twice but failed to hold the pipe. Aunt Zhang came in and gently hit his hand. "Look at you, you are so useless. Your daughter bought this for you. Just take it."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang took the pipe and put it directly into Lin Dashan's hand.

Seeing Aunt Zhang come in, Shen Wanning took Aunt Zhang's hand and put the silver bracelet on her wrist.

"I came just in time. This is the bracelet I bought for you. It's not expensive. I hope you don't mind. When I make money in the future, I will definitely buy you a gold bracelet!"

"Oh, this is too valuable. I can't use it! I'm already half buried in the ground. Why should I wear a silver bracelet? You keep this for yourself. I don't want it!"

As she said this, Aunt Zhang was about to take off the bracelet on her hand.

Shen Wanning deliberately took out her old gold bracelet and slammed it on the table. "Mom, are you angry because I only bought you a silver bracelet when I have a gold bracelet? Are you blaming me for being unfilial? Then I will pawn this gold bracelet and that gold necklace tomorrow!"

Aunt Zhang knew Shen Wanning's feelings, and she quickly picked up the gold bracelet and stuffed it back into Shen Wanning's hand. "Look at what you are saying. You bought something for me, and I am so happy. How could I dislike it? I just feel sorry for you spending money!"

"Money is earned to be spent. As long as mother is happy, that's all that matters!" Shen Wanning said with a smile, holding Aunt Zhang's hand.

Xu's eyes were fixed on the bracelet on Aunt Zhang's hand, and she couldn't move her eyes away. She kept fiddling with the handkerchief in her hand. It wasn't her fault; she was born that way. Everything she saw seemed precious and beautiful.

"Sister-in-law, this is bought for you. Come and see if you like it!" Shen Wanning handed the silver hairpin to Xu.

Xu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said in disbelief, "Is this silver hairpin for me?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I didn't know what style you and second sister-in-law liked, so I bought two plain silver hairpins. Tell me what style you like, and I'll buy new ones later!"

Xu was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly, "I like it, of course I like it! This is my first piece of silver jewelry since I was a child! Thank you, Sister Wan Ning."

Xu happily took the silver hairpin and couldn't let it go. Xu looked at Lin Jingce shyly and said, "Put it on me and see if it looks good!"

Lin Jingce picked up the silver hairpin and carefully inserted it into Xu's hair. Xu looked like an unmarried girl, with a look of anticipation on her face. "Does it look good?"

"Yeah, it looks good, very good-looking!" Lin Jingce replied in a low voice, a little shy.

"Yeah, it looks good. My sister-in-law is so pretty!" Shen Wanning said loudly on purpose.

Only then did Xu realize that everyone was there, looking at her and Lin Jingce. Her face instantly turned red, like a monkey's bottom. The others, however, smiled kindly.

"Brother, these are the shoes I bought for you. You often work in the fields, and your shoes are worn out and you haven't changed them yet, so I bought you two new pairs of shoes. By the way, I also bought a silver hairpin for my second sister-in-law, and two pairs of shoes for my second brother as well." After saying that, Shen Wanning took out the shoes from the bamboo basket and put them on the table.

Because I was afraid that Xu would overthink things, I added one more sentence at the end. As the saying goes, it's not the lack of wealth that's worrying, but the inequality of wealth.

Lin Jingyou kept watching her take out the gifts, looking forward to it. He didn't seem to see her buying anything for herself while shopping, so would she also give herself a gift?
