Upon hearing this, Changshun quickly waved his hands, looking somewhat uneasy:

"Sister Qingqing, I'm just running errands. Hunting is dangerous, so I can't ask for so much. I'll help you sell the prey and give you the money. You just need to pay me a wage."

Changshun is from Lihua Village. When Zhang came to cause trouble before, her mother kindly helped the Zhou family.

It can be said that ever since Li Qingqing came to Lihua Village, she has felt the kindness of the people of Lihua Village towards her.

Li Qingqing has always remembered their kindness and has thought about helping them, but now her ways of making money are limited, and she is not very good at some of them, so she has been feeling her way forward these days.

Although she now has more than two thousand taels of silver and has obtained 20% of Zuiyuexuan's profits, this money is obtained by chance. It is not so easy to earn and cannot be known to others.

If the Zhou family wants to avoid being criticized, they have to do some real business that people can see.

If she can get Changshun to join the group now, she can take care of him as long as he is there.

Oh, no, it’s not really caring, it’s more like helping each other, right?

Li Qingqing looked at Changshun. She could feel that this young man was indeed an honest person and suitable for long-term cooperation. She couldn't help but laugh:

"Changshun, you don't have to refuse. Hunting is dangerous, but selling your prey requires traveling all over the place, which is also very tiring. Besides, I want a long-term partnership. You get 60% and I'll split 40%. It's a deal. Come to my place tomorrow morning and pick up some of the prey and try selling it!"

Changshun saw that Li Qingqing was determined, so he could not refuse any more. He really needed a job to support his family, so he nodded happily:

"Okay then, I'll listen to Sister Qingqing. I'll do my best and won't let you down."

Changshun said goodbye to Li Qingqing happily. He wanted to go back and tell his mother the good news.

Since Dad went off to serve, our family has had no income. If we continue to live off our savings, we'll soon be unable to make ends meet. Mom is under a lot of pressure, and now that I've got this good job, it will help ease her burden.

Changshun secretly thought to himself that he must get things done well.

Li Qingqing didn't know what Changshun was thinking, she just felt relieved that she had finally found the right person to help her sell the goods.

She was lucky to meet the shopkeeper Zuiyue Xuanqi.

She is an impatient and somewhat impulsive person. After several attempts at setting up a stall at the market, Li Qingqing felt that she was not suitable for selling goods.

If Changshun could be trained to do retail and marketing, it would save her a lot of trouble.

After Changshun left, Li Qingqing went to take Zhou's mother's pulse and began to give her acupuncture.

After she disinfected the silver needles, Zhou An also prepared the Chinese medicine and brought it over.

"Mom, don't be nervous." Li Qingqing smiled and inserted a silver needle into Zhou's mother's leg.

She was observing Zhou's mother's reaction and saw that she seemed to be in some pain, frowning and trying hard to endure it.

"Mom, the pain means that your illness can be cured soon, don't worry." Li Qingqing said with a smile, and at the same time, she continued to gently remove the silver needles and accurately inserted them into the acupuncture points.

Mother Zhou nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to relax herself.

She looked at Li Qingqing's skillful technique, without any hesitation, and she seemed quite impressive. She couldn't help but ask casually:

"Qingqing, who did you learn your medical skills from? It seems you're even better than Doctor Zhang!"

Li Qingqing was concentrating on acupuncture when she casually replied, "Oh, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang's mother knew some medical skills. She taught me some when she was alive."

Zhou's mother knew that she was raised by Dashuang and Xiaoshuang's mother, so she thought what she said was true and believed it.

Zhou Yimo felt a little amused when he saw his wife telling lies without even thinking.

If his wife had not shared her secret with him, he would have believed her lies.

Li Qingqing continued to give acupuncture, and Zhou's mother's brows gradually relaxed. She felt a warmth flowing throughout her body, and she felt relaxed all over.

"Mom, are you feeling better?" Li Qingqing asked with concern.

"Yes, it's much better indeed." Mother Zhou responded gratefully, "Qingqing, thank you."

Li Qingqing smiled, very confident: "Mom, after I finish the acupuncture, you drink the medicine soup. After drinking it, have a good sleep. It won't be long before your illness is cured."

Mother Zhou nodded, her eyes full of anticipation.

After the acupuncture, Li Qingqing carefully took out the silver needles one by one, and then gently wiped Zhou's mother's legs with clean gauze.

"Okay, mother, you can drink the medicine now."

Li Qingqing took the medicine from Zhou Yimo's hand, helped Zhou's mother drink the medicine, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then helped Zhou's mother lie down on the bed.

After doing all this, Li Qingqing said hello to Zhou Yimo and went to sleep with peace of mind.

Everything is going in the right direction now, but it's impossible that she would die suddenly just when there was hope in the future?

Mu Yunjing didn't know that Zhou Yimo and Li Qingqing were helping Xie Xuan'an last night. He told Zhou Yimo that he would leave after his people arrived tonight.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yimo hurriedly took out the ivory plate he had made yesterday, handed it to Mu Yunjing, and said, "Brother Yunjing, keep this ivory plate for any emergency needs."

Both the gold order and the ivory plate are identity cards, and the gold order is naturally more prestigious than the ivory plate.

But Mu Yunjing's situation is not very good now. He doesn't know what's wrong with the prince. He is now pretending to be looking for him, but secretly wants to kill him.

Mu Yunjing took the ivory token handed to him by Zhou Yimo and put it away. If he wanted to return to the Protectorate safely, he would have to pass through various checkpoints. Having an ivory token in hand could save him a lot of trouble.

Mu Yunjing naturally would not refuse.

Zhou Yimo called Xi'er over, showed her the ivory plate, and reminded her, "Xi'er, this is your name. If you go to town in the future and someone asks you, remember that your last name is Zhou now."

Xier glanced at the tooth card, rolled her eyes at him, and said disapprovingly: "My last name is Zhou, there is no need to remember this deliberately!"

Xier has lived in the Zhou family for a while now and is no longer as vigilant as before.

Thinking of what happened last time, Xier's cheeks flushed slightly, and she added a little embarrassedly:

"That time, I just missed my dad so much that I mistook you for him! Actually, big brother, you look a lot like my dad, but you're much younger than him. I suspect you might be my long-lost cousin!"

"You girl, you are talking nonsense again!" Zhou Yimo scolded her and drove her away, not taking it seriously.

Xier stuck out her tongue, smiled and ran away.

When Mu Yunjing heard this, his eyes flashed. The Minister of Revenue who was withholding grain happened to have the surname Zhou. What a coincidence! Could it be that Xier was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?

Watching Xi'er running away, Mu Yunjing said to Zhou Yimo, "I suspect Xi'er might be the daughter of the Minister of Revenue."

He then told what the shadow guard had reported last night about the Minister of Revenue.

"Oh?" Zhou Yimo's deep eyes flashed with surprise when he heard that.

He thought for a moment, and finally, pursed his lips and said to Mu Yunjing:

"I hope Brother Yun Jing can help me find out what happened to Xier so that I can send her home as soon as possible."
