A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

After everyone was surprised, Li took all the copper coins from everyone's hands, put them back in her bag, and handed them to Song Zhili.

"Da Ya, this money is what you earned. Put it away carefully. Remember, don't take out these copper coins so carelessly again. Hide them properly, understand?"

When everyone saw that Li handed the copper coins to Song Zhili, they had no objections and even nodded in agreement.

Song Zhili took the cloth bag but didn't put it away. Instead, her gaze fell on Hu Cuicui. "Father, Mother, how many copper coins do we owe the village chief?"

Upon hearing Song Zhili's question, Hu Cuicui and Song Dashan exchanged glances before Hu Cuicui stammered out her answer.

“We owe the village chief about fifty copper coins and two bags of grain.”

Upon hearing Hu Cuicui's words, Song Zhili opened the cloth bag, took out fifty copper coins, and placed them in front of Hu Cuicui.

"Mother, take these copper coins tomorrow and return them to the village chief and the others first. Then, go to the kitchen and take two bags of grain to them."

Hu Cuicui instinctively wanted to refuse without thinking, but before she could speak, Song Zhili continued.

“Mother, don’t rush to refuse. Let me tell you. We’re selling fish balls in town now, and we’ll make money in the future. Song Feng takes us to town every day, so he must know we’re making money. If they find out we’re making money and don’t return the copper coins to them, what do you think the village chief and the others will think of us?”

And Mother, I am, after all, part of this family. Every penny I earn is a share for you, and you've all contributed your labor. If I give you a penny and you pass it around, I'll feel like you don't consider me part of the family!

Song Zhili knew that they felt they shouldn't take the copper coins they earned, but Song Zhili also wanted them to live a good life.

Those present exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing Song Zhili's harsh words and hurriedly offered explanations.

"Da Ya, that's not what we meant, we just..."

"Brother, I know what you mean, and I know you mean well, but I want our family to live a good life. We should all work together, earn money together, and be one family."

"Okay, Da Ya is right. From now on, we'll listen to Da Ya and do whatever she wants."

Li was deeply moved by Song Zhili's words. Not only her, but everyone present was also touched by what Song Zhili had just said.

Seeing that they had all accepted her opinion, Song Zhili took out the cloth bag again.

"That's settled then. There are a total of over three hundred copper coins here. After deducting the fifty copper coins used to pay off Mother's debts, there are still over two hundred copper coins left."

"Grandpa and Grandma, here are fifty copper coins for you, and here are fifty coins for your parents, and these for your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Ji Qingqing was extremely surprised that Song Zhili would give them copper coins, and that each coin was so much!

"Little sister, isn't this a bit too much? Perhaps you could..."

Before Song Zidong could finish speaking, he was met with a glare from Song Zhili. Song Zidong could only shut his mouth and say no more. Then he took the copper coins and stuffed them all into Ji Qingqing's hand.

"My lady, this is from my younger sister, please take it."

Seeing this, Song Zhili finally smiled with satisfaction. "Father, if you don't have anything to do tomorrow, you can take Ziming to the river to catch some more fish."

Grandma, Mother, and Sister-in-law, please help me make fish balls tomorrow. I've already bought the meat, and I've taught you how to season the meat filling. Do you remember?

When Song Zhili was making fish balls earlier, she secretly took out the seasonings and then called Hu Cuicui and Ji Qingqing to the kitchen, handing them over all the steps of making fish balls.

Seeing Hu Cuicui and Ji Qingqing nod, Song Zhili packed up the remaining copper coins. "Alright, that's enough for today. It's getting late, everyone should go back and get some rest. I'm sleepy too."

As Song Zhili spoke, she got up, yawned, and walked out. After she left, the others also returned to their respective rooms one after another.

This night was destined to be sleepless. Apart from Song Zhili, who fell asleep shortly after returning to her room, Hu Cuicui, Li Shi, and Ji Qingqing were all excitedly tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.

The next day, when Song Zhili woke up and saw that all of them had faint dark circles under their eyes, she knew that they had not slept well the night before.

But she didn't say much. She and Song Zidong waited for Song Feng at the door, just like yesterday. When he arrived, the two of them moved the small cart onto the oxcart.

Song Zhili and Song Zidong got up earlier today than yesterday, so they didn't bring Song Qiqi and Song Ziming with them; they were still sleeping inside.

When Song Zhili and Song Zidong arrived in town and went to the same spot as yesterday, they found that their spot had already been taken by someone else.

Helpless, the two of them had to find another spot. They finally found a spot, pushed the cart there, and as soon as they stopped, a customer came in.

"Oh my, young ladies, you've finally arrived! We went to the same spot as yesterday but didn't find you. We thought you weren't coming. Quick, quick, bring me another pound of fish balls. I took some home for my kids yesterday, and they all loved them. They insisted I buy some more today."

After the man finished speaking, he took out ten coins from his pocket. "Ten coins, right? Here you go."

Song Zidong took the ten coins from his hand, and Song Zhili quickly packed the fish balls for him and handed them over.

After seeing off this customer, Song Zhili wanted to give Song Zidong some money to buy some breakfast, but before she could take out the money, several more people came in one after another, all wanting the fish balls.

Helpless, Song Zhili and Song Zidong had no choice but to greet these people first, thinking they would buy breakfast after they left.

Throughout the morning, several people would arrive every now and then, keeping Song Zhili and Song Zidong extremely busy.

An hour later, they sold out all the fish balls on the cart, and the two of them could finally take a breather. Today, Song Zhili had brought out all the fish balls from the well, and the fish balls in her space had also been taken out and thawed, and they were all sold out as well.

Song Zhili couldn't help but gasp in amazement; the purchasing power of people in ancient times was quite strong!

"Brother, you stay here and keep watch. Wait for them to come back and return the bowls. I'll go buy some food first."
