Jiang Zhiwan was incredulous: "Jiang Zhiyun! Are you making money through dishonest means, running a shady business? We were all your closest people, and you're just taking us along to fleece us?"

Jiang Zhiyun shook his head sincerely: "It's not exactly a black market. After all, black market shops don't earn as much as I do. Let me calculate, each of you should give me three hundred coins. After all, it's you who are the ones who are embarrassed. Three hundred coins to sit down and save face, so that the neighbors won't laugh at you."

"If you don't want to eat, then leave!" she said, shrugging.

"Could it be that your mother, father, sister, and brother-in-law don't want to give Yunniang money?"

"My parents always say that Yunniang has been living a hard life since marrying into the Xie family. They often look down on her. Now, please ask me to scrape together this money for you. Or you can buy it on credit. With the clan leader sitting here, I'm not afraid that you will default on your debts."

The clan chief laughed heartily. This little girl, Yunniang, is truly delightful. She doesn't have to suffer any injustice at all!

Zhao Guifen gritted her teeth: "Here you go!"

At first, Jiang Laosan and Zhao Guifen planned to eat a few bites and leave, as they were a little embarrassed.

But after a few bites... it was so delicious. I tried a few more bites.

The same goes for everyone else. This Jiang Zhiyun is obsessed with money and has terrible character.

But when it comes to cooking, it's really hard to describe!

Jiang Zhiwan kept holding back her food.

Seeing her husband wolfing down his food like this, she got a little angry: "Didn't you say you were on my side?"

Why eat the food cooked by Jiang Zhiyun?

“Our family has already paid for it, so why shouldn’t we eat? If we don’t eat, where will we get dinner tonight?” Xu Ping’an said.

“Mother, you should stop now. You should know that you only make promises, but now you haven’t accomplished anything. Because of you, the family has no house.”

"Change the deed for that teahouse to my parents' names."

“Okay, of course.” Jiang Zhiwan nodded quickly.

Then it occurred to me: "I've got a way to make money!"

In her past life, Jiang Zhiyun accidentally found a large ginseng while picking mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains. She made a lot of money from it.

I did the math, and it just so happens to be around this time.

In her past life, out of jealousy towards Jiang Zhiyun, she secretly went to check the location. She still remembers it now.

So, we can go and dig up the mushrooms tomorrow morning!

Now, Jiang Zhiwan was thinking that before being thrown into the pig cage at noon tomorrow, she could prove her ability to earn money. Could she hire someone to be her stand-in, and that person be responsible for throwing her into the pig cage? She stayed home peacefully.

Anyway, in the underground market and gambling dens, you can buy anything as long as you have money.

Since discovering this alluring place, Jiang Zhiwan felt that anything could be bought and sold.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiwan did not linger and then looked at her husband: "Husband, let's go to town and rest at my teahouse."

I'll make do with sleeping on the floor in the lobby; that should be enough to get some rest.

"The old house was destroyed, but fortunately we have a teahouse. There are very few people like my sister who are jealous of me."

Hearing these sarcastic words, Jiang Zhiyun said, "Wipe away your tears first, then you can have your say."

“Jiang Zhiyun, you wait and see, I have other tricks up my sleeve. Tomorrow, I want you to watch me earn dozens of taels of silver.”

The clan chief looked at Jiang Laosan and asked, "Is this how you raise your daughter?"

“She’s gone mad now. No, we need to find a doctor to check her brain. If she’s mentally ill, we’ll remove her from the village sooner or later.”

In Yongquan Village, being ostracized and having one's place of origin erased is a life-altering fate. It's worse than being exiled or classified as an undesirable citizen; one becomes a completely unregistered person.

So upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiwan dared not say anything more.

He walked outside, looking rather dazed.

After she left, she didn't rush towards the teahouse with the Xu family; instead, she headed into the mountains.

Yes, this is her last chance to save herself; she must find the ginseng before Jiang Zhiyun does.

I only remember a general location, and now I have to go up the mountain to find it.

Yang Ge'er ran out after them, and when he returned home, the other guests had already left. Zhang Shi was clearing away the dishes, Xie Shuheng was taking his medicine, and Jiang Zhiyun was preparing the hoe she would use to go up the mountain to find herbs the next day.

When Yang Ge'er returned, panting, he clung to Jiang Zhiyun's arm: "Auntie, Auntie~ that Jiang Zhiwan has gone mad!"

"She headed up the mountain. Wouldn't she encounter wolves going up the mountain so late?"

Seeing how eager she was to go up the mountain, and how she suddenly became so determined.

Jiang Zhiyun then remembered that she had found ginseng around this time in her previous life.

If you calculate it this way, everything makes sense.

Jiang Zhiyun smiled and said, "She probably wants to go into the mountains to dig up something to sell. When she sees that I have something good, she naturally wants to give it a try."

Zhang, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out and said, "What should we do? We know about that matsutake mushroom patch, it's huge. If she goes there like that, she'll definitely ruin the whole place."

She was worried that matsutake mushrooms wouldn't grow anymore.

"It's nothing. There were wolves howling not far away tonight, as well as calls from many other species. She's so afraid of death, she must be hiding somewhere and too scared to move."

"I'll go up the mountain to find herbs tomorrow at daybreak. I need to find some for Doctor Su, and I'll sell them to her then."

Ms. Zhang nodded: "Then should I set up the stall alone tomorrow?"

Jiang Zhiyun shook her head: "Everyone knows about what happened today, so let's rest for a day. Mother-in-law, please check on those matsutake mushrooms. They should all be dried by now. I'll find some fresh, valuable ones and take them out to sell together."

Jiang Zhiwan went up the mountain now and didn't know the location of the matsutake mushrooms, but she should know the location where Jiang Zhiyun dug ginseng in her previous life.

Because the ginseng they dug up that time was so big, it caused quite a stir in the village, and everyone knew where to go and see what was going on.

Jiang Zhiwan only knew to look in the same location, unaware that Jiang Zhiyun had observed the condition of the land a couple of days ago, and found it to be somewhat different from the one in her previous life. The ginseng had not yet sprouted, and its location was slightly different.

You can't tell unless you're an expert.

Jiang Zhiwan doesn't understand anything. Even if she waits every day for more than 300 days a year, it will be in vain.

Therefore, Jiang Zhiyun remained calm and even took out a book to read, which was given to him by Doctor Su.

The things they wanted this time weren't anything special; they were all herbs for treating fever and colds, which are common items here.

It's nothing more than brambles, dayflowers, and plantains. It wouldn't be difficult for Jiang Zhiyun to find them.

She was very familiar with the mountains and forests, and knew exactly where each of these things was located.

Xie Shuheng looked at her, as if he had been scrutinizing her the whole time.

Jiang Zhiyun's behavior is so inconsistent with that of a woman who grew up in a village.

Now she seemed to have victory in her grasp. If Xie Shuheng's intuition was correct, he, as her wife, knew what Jiang Zhiwan was going to do.

They had even already devised a countermeasure.

She... her appearance is almost like she has a premonition? But all the signs indicate that he is overthinking it.
