After leaving the Zhu family's house, they figured they still had plenty of time before their appointment with Changsheng, so they went to the Yu family's medical clinic again. By then, Doctor Yu had already returned from outside.

Shen Man hurriedly took out the Ganoderma lucidum and deer antler from her bundle to show him.

"I found this on the mountain a while ago. What do you think of it?" She looked at Dr. Yu expectantly, hoping he would give her a satisfactory evaluation.

Doctor Yu carefully examined the Ganoderma lucidum and deer antler, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This red Ganoderma lucidum is of superior quality and extremely rare. The deer antler is also top-grade. Little Man'er, you are really lucky to have managed to get such good stuff!" Doctor Yu said with a smile.

Hearing Dr. Yu's words, Shen Man was delighted. It seems that good things are valuable in any era.

"How much can these sell for?" she asked eagerly.

Dr. Yu pondered for a moment, then held up two fingers to her.

Shen Man's eyes widened; the price was far below her expectations.

"Only worth twenty taels?" she murmured to herself, hardly believing her eyes.

"No, it's two hundred taels! There are many people around here, so please be careful when you go out later."

While reminding them, Dr. Yu handed them the silver notes.

"Dr. Yu, please use all this money to buy grain for me," Shen Man said to him, refusing to take the silver notes he offered.

Doctor Yu nodded. "Okay, but the price of grain has risen compared to before, so two hundred taels might not be enough to buy much rice."

Shen Man said gratefully, "It's alright, I'll buy as many as I can. Thank you in advance."

"Alright, we'll bring it to you next time we go to Xiaoyao Village."

After leaving Yu's Medical Clinic, Shen Man and Lan Xiang remembered that there was still a patch of wild honey in the field that hadn't been harvested, so they bought a large vat and asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to the town entrance.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the town entrance with the shopkeeper, Changsheng was already waiting there, bored out of his mind.

Seeing that they had bought a large vat, he immediately went over and helped the shopkeeper securely tie the vat to the oxcart.

Shen Man was worried that he had left early in the morning and was hungry, so she took out a bag of snacks she had bought at the market and handed it to him: "Uncle Changsheng, you must be hungry after waiting for us for so long. Eat something before you go!"

"I'm not hungry, Man'er, you should keep it for yourself!" Changsheng smiled and waved his hand, declining Shen Man's offer.

"Uncle Changsheng, please accept this. Otherwise, we'll feel embarrassed to trouble you next time."

Although Shen Man had already planned to pay Changsheng the fare at market price after returning home, she still insisted on stuffing the bag of pastries into his arms.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Changsheng had no choice but to try a piece and then put the pastry away.

After confirming that the mother and daughter were both seated, he began to whip the oxcart and set off.

On the way, he asked with concern, "Did your trip to the market go smoothly today? Did you see Doctor Yu?"

Lanxiang smiled and replied, "It went quite smoothly. When we first went to the clinic, Dr. Yu was out seeing patients and wasn't there. Later, we took a walk around the town, and he happened to come back."

“Uncle Changsheng, we ran into Zhu Jing, the youngest son of the wealthy Zhu family, in town today. He even invited us to his home.”

"Oh, you went to the Zhu family?" Changsheng asked, somewhat surprised.

He never expected that this mother and daughter would be involved with the Zhu family.

It is well known that the Zhu family's wealth was common knowledge in Qiufeng Town, and the Zhu family owned countless fields and shops.

If one could establish a connection with his family, even a small amount of business he could casually slip through his fingers would be enough for an ordinary person to live on for a lifetime.

“Yes, we went.” Shen Man nodded and continued, “We also met with Master Zhu and discussed a business deal with him.”

Shen Man felt that since she couldn't hide the fact that she had sold honey to Master Zhu, she might as well just tell Changsheng directly.

"What kind of business is it?" Changsheng asked curiously.

“A while ago, I collected two beehives on the wasteland we just bought, and Master Zhu was very interested in the honey,” Shen Man replied.

"I see. Man'er, it's good that you're capable. We ordinary people wouldn't dare touch those things, for fear of being stung."

Although Changsheng envied Shen Man's money-making methods, he was still very clear about his own abilities.

The three chatted all the way, and the oxcart soon arrived at Shen Man's house.

Changsheng helped them carry the large vat home before driving the oxcart away.

Before leaving, Lanxiang took out twenty coins from her pocket and handed them to him.

Changsheng quickly declined, "I was just helping out on the way, how could I accept money?"

"This is what you deserve." Lanxiang forced the money into his hand. "Your family isn't well-off either. Take it and buy some food for the children."

Chang Sheng nodded gratefully and accepted the money.

Shen Man watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

In this poor little village, although life is hard, most people are kind.

She hopes that through her own efforts, her mother can have a better life, and at the same time, she can also bring some help to the villagers.

The next day, the carpenter came and told Shen Man that all the beehives she had ordered were finished.

After Shen Man and Lan Xiang went to check on it, they found that it was done well, so they gave him the other half of the wages and moved the beehives home.

Taking advantage of the good weather, the mother and daughter thoroughly cleaned the beehives inside and out and left them to dry in the sun for a whole day.

At night, a thick layer of honey is applied to the honeycomb mesh of each beehive so that the bees will have food as soon as they move in, thus keeping them there.

The next morning, Lanxiang began to move the beehives to the wasteland.

After all the beehives were set up, Shen Man found the two queen bees and let them move in and experience it.

The two queen bees each went into a beehive and stayed inside for about fifteen minutes before coming out. They were both very satisfied with their new home.

"You'll be settling down here from now on. If anything happens, remember to let me know, and I'll try my best to help you."

The queen bee nodded to her and quickly gathered all her subordinates, who then settled in the hive.

In the following days, Shen Man and Lan Xiang would come over every day to check on the bees.

To their surprise, wild bees had started moving into the eight empty beehives over the past few days.

Shen Man explained her rules to the new queen bees, and everyone agreed. In this way, Shen Man now had ten hives of bees.

She also learned from them that the caves where they used to live still contained a lot of honey, so Shen Man could harvest a lot of wild honey.

As time went on, more and more bees moved over after hearing the news, and some bees even fought each other over the hives.

Having no other choice, Shen Man made several more beehives. In addition, she developed the habit of coming over to inspect them every day to ensure that they were comfortable and would no longer fight over territory.
