Chapter 100: Intentional Sinister
Taking advantage of the cheapness of buying rice and noodles this time, Yeran gritted his teeth and bought ten catties of polished rice and thirty catties of white flour, which cost 410 pennies.

After selling that valuable Poria cocos, I should have bought some meat and gave it to the two children.

Meat costs twenty cents a catty, which is too expensive. The pork I bought last time was fried in oil, and the oil residue is enough to last for a long time.

Thinking about repairing the house, Ye Ran was reluctant to waste money.

I picked two catties of pig bones worth five Wen a catty, and pigs that cost two catties of eight Wen a catty into the water, and spent 26 Wen.

This time I came here, and I got a total of more than two or three taels of silver. I spent almost half of the money just to buy rice noodles and pigs.

Adding the more than three taels I saved up last time, the money I hold now is at most five taels of silver.

Five taels of silver is barely enough to renovate the house, but it is still far from demolishing and building a new house.

Five taels of silver, ordinary farmers can't save that much in a year.

From Ye Ran's point of view, the little money he had saved was pitifully small, and after so many days of tossing around, he still felt like he was too poor.

Fortunately, the weather is still hot, and it is far away from autumn and winter.

I went to the mountain a few more times and dug up the Polygonum multiflorum plant in the deep valley. Is there no money to repair the house?

Yeran is not so depressed anymore!

Thinking that the house will be repaired before winter, and I won’t feel tired picking rice to go home after going ashore.

When she passed the well with her load, a group of villagers gathered under the apricot tree, chatting about something in full swing.

"I heard no. The superiors issued an order to close the mountains. The village chief said that no one is allowed to enter the mountains to hunt before autumn!"

Yeran didn't like to join in the fun, but the word Fengshanling still made her pause.

"Someone in the neighboring village was photographed hunting by Xiong Xiazi. Zhang Guicai had one leg folded deep in the mountains. The weather was hot, and poisonous insects and ferocious beasts kept running out of the mountains. This order to seal the mountains was a good one."

There are also people who make a lot of money from hunting, but unfortunately said: "Oh, these days are getting more and more difficult!"

"You are not allowed to hunt in the mountains, and we are not the ones who suffer. Some people go into the mountains to dig medicinal materials, and they can get five taels of silver for income. This time, they have cut off their money."

The voice was soft and weak, and Yeran was somewhat familiar, like Zhang Guicai's cousin and daughter-in-law Dong Shi.

Her voice was very gentle, as if she was sighing, but it was gloating, and what was more sinister was that she bit the five taels of silver very hard.

Five taels of silver, and I can't save that much money in a year.

Everyone in the village knew that her family was harvesting medicinal herbs, and Dong's words were definitely spreading hatred for Ye Ran.

Those who dug herbs and sent them to Yeran's house inevitably thought that she could make a difference in the middle.

A jealous woman immediately spat: "I used to be crazy, but now I'm a black-hearted one. The herbs you sent are only fifteen cents a catty. Let her earn five taels of silver for nothing."

"Oh, mother-in-law, you don't know, she has an unusual relationship with the shopkeeper of the Herbal Medicine Hall, and the Herbal Medicine Hall only accepts herbs from her family, not others."

With Dong's understatement, the villagers immediately thought of Yeran's reputation of getting pregnant out of wedlock.

Dong's mother-in-law was jealous that a fool could get five liang of silver, and she said more vigorously: "People are not stupid, and they can't change their temperament. The fathers of those two bastards haven't been found yet. Old man, bah, the shopkeeper Lin is about the age, and the smelly old man climbed onto the bed, I don't know how to use the strength..."
