A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

Song Yanyan's heart was also burning with passion.

This is the money she earned for her family, hehe!

Happy!

Tian Denghua couldn't hide her pride: "Although Yanyan is the youngest in our family, according to the family rules, we haven't separated yet, so the money she earns has to be handed over to the common people. So Yanyan gave it all to me. As her mother, I feel sorry for Yanyan's sensible nature, so I gave her a piece of silver to keep for herself. I don't think you, her older brother and sister-in-law, have any objections, right?"

Song Risheng, Qi Lian, and Song Yueping all shook their heads vigorously.

Qi Lian also said, "Yan Yan is so capable, it's only right that Mother gives her more."

Tian Denghua shook her head: "There's no need to give her more. She's just a child. If she has too much money, someone with ulterior motives might take notice. I gave her a piece of silver, and I'll take her to the county to exchange it for copper coins later. That will be enough for her to buy snacks for a long time."

Qi Lian nodded: "Mother is right."

Tian Denghua glanced at Qi Lian with satisfaction, then took out the largest piece of silver and pushed it in front of Qi Lian: "Eldest daughter-in-law, here you go."

Qi Lian was both surprised and apprehensive: "Ah, give...give it to me?"

This loose silver looks like it weighs at least four qian! That's quite a lot!

Tian Denghua said, "You are pregnant now. Although I will not let you lack anything in terms of food, clothing and daily necessities, if you encounter any emergency and need money, you will feel more at ease if you have some money on hand."

Qi Lian's eyes welled up with tears: "Mother, you are so good to me."

Tian Denghua then looked at Song Yueping.

This time, he looked disgusted and picked out the smallest piece from the few pieces of silver, estimating it to be worth a little over a qian (a unit of weight), and threw it to him irritably.

Song Yueping exclaimed "Ah!" completely bewildered: "Mother, I have one too?"

Tian Denghua curled her lip in disdain: "Aren't you just following that Zhai family girl around like a baby?... If you have some money on you, you can at least have some to spend when you're trying to curry favor with her." After a pause, Tian Denghua looked at Song Risheng and Qi Lian, "Eldest brother, eldest brother's wife, you don't have any objections, do you?"

Song Risheng and Qi Lian shook their heads repeatedly: "No objection, no objection."

"It should be."

Song Yueping clutched the broken silver, excited, but then her expression darkened as she thought of something, and she hesitated, saying, "Mother, why don't you take the silver back... there are many places in the family where money is needed."

After a pause, Song Yueping whispered, "...And Cuihong won't...just because I don't have money..."

Tian Denghua impatiently interrupted Song Yueping: "Just take it!"

That wretched second son!

Song Yueping then awkwardly said "Oh" and put away the small piece of silver.

Tian Denghua nodded in satisfaction and put away the remaining silver coins.

"After deducting the tuition fee for the third son in the spring and the money for meals at school, I plan to use the rest to start a small business in the spring," Tian Denghua told her family. "As for what kind of business, I'll look into it and investigate it later. Relying solely on those few acres of land is really hard for the family. Now that we suddenly have this extra capital, it's quite an opportunity."

None of the Song family members objected.

Tian Denghua waved her hand with great enthusiasm: "Let's eat!"

"Ah, Mom, the food you made tonight smells so good!"

"Exactly! When I walked in just now, wow, it was still like New Year's Day!"

"Alright, alright, stop being so talkative, hurry up and eat!"

The Song family's house was filled with laughter and joy. Outside, snow was falling heavily, but inside, it was warm and cozy.

……

Two days later was the market day. Song Yanyan got up very early and dressed herself neatly, waiting for Tian Denghua to take her to the market.

Tian Denghua glanced at Song Yanyan, then took a rabbit-skin hood and wrapped it around her, complaining, "You young people don't take care to keep warm when you're young. You'll suffer when you get old."

Song Yanyan stuck out her tongue, but didn't resist, obediently letting Tian Denghua wrap her up like a ball.

The mother and daughter drank a bowl of hot porridge before leaving the house.

Zhaoyou Village is nestled against Qishan Mountain, but it's not far from the official road, and the road to the county town is relatively easy to travel.

The mother and daughter walked for almost an hour before arriving at the county market.

Song Yanyan kept thinking about the piece of silver in her arms, taking it out to look at it every now and then.

Tian Denghua laughed and scolded, "Look at you, such a cowardly person who's never seen the world!"

Song Yanyan smiled sweetly: "I've never handled so much silver before."

Tian Denghua poked the little bit of Song Yanyan's face that was showing, and led Song Yanyan to a small roadside shop. They exchanged Song Yanyan's piece of silver for about two hundred copper coins, and put them all into the small money bag that Tian Denghua had just sewn for Song Yanyan.

Song Yanyan tucked the money bag into her bosom; it felt heavy, and she felt incredibly at ease!

A full two hundred and thirty-seven coins!

In their Zhaoyou Village, just ask, who else, who else at her age, has such a huge amount of private money!

Who else!

From now on, please call her Little Rich Lady Song!

Song Yanyan beamed with joy.

Seeing her daughter so happy after exchanging a piece of silver, and remembering how her daughter had handed over all that silver to her without hesitation, Tian Denghua's heart softened.

The mother and daughter had been walking for an hour, and the porridge in their stomachs had long been digested.

When I passed by a wonton shop, the aroma of the wonton soup was so enticing that I could hardly move.

Song Yanyan said with great enthusiasm, "Mother, I'll treat you to wontons!"

Tian Denghua found her daughter's smug little face quite adorable. Although she felt that eating out was a bit extravagant, she didn't spoil the mood. She clicked her tongue and laughed, "Then I'll enjoy my daughter's good fortune today."

The mother and daughter sat down next to the wonton stall. A bowl of lard wontons cost four coins, but Song Yanyan spent eight coins to buy two bowls of wontons. Then she went to the pancake stall next door and spent two coins to buy two freshly baked, steaming hot sesame pancakes.

In the dead of winter, the steaming wonton bowl, topped with a handful of tender chopped scallions, looks incredibly tempting.

The mother and daughter ate pancakes and drank steaming hot wonton soup, feeling comfortable from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads.

Song Yanyan felt so happy she wanted to cry.

She scooped up a wonton and ate it all in one bite!

But at this blissful moment, Song Yanyan happened to see a familiar figure, nestled beside an elegantly dressed woman, passing by on the street!

Who else could it be but Luo Jinyu?

Song Yanyan's mind was filled with four words—"a persistent ghost"!

Damn it, even the wontons in my mouth don't taste good anymore!

Song Yanyan saw Luo Jinyu, and Luo Jinyu also saw Song Yanyan.

She was taken aback at first, then a look of joy appeared on her face, and she said with a smile to the noblewoman beside her, "Godmother, I see the family that saved me earlier!"

Song Yanyan swallowed the wontons without any expression.

You troublemaker! Now that you know it was my family that saved you, could you please stay a little further away from my house?
