Chapter 39: How to Make Money

"Yun 'er girl, just tell us. We are from the same village and should support each other. If you have any good ways to earn money, share it."

"That's right, Yun 'er girl. We are also working hard to earn money. If you tell us, we won't have to work so hard in the future."

"…"

These women chattered as if Zhao Yun 'er was a stingy person and would let them down if she didn't tell them what she was selling and how she earned money.

Zhao Yun 'er was also very disgusted by these people's righteous attitude. She didn't believe that if they had a good way to earn money, they would tell others so easily.

"You all want to know?" Zhao Yun 'er curled her lips and a trace of slyness flashed across her eyes.

"Of course!" One by one, they began to gather around, wanting to hear what Zhao Yun 'er had to say. They were afraid that if they missed a word, they would lose a chance to make a fortune.

"I went to the mountains to get this thing. I picked up a little fox and sold the fox skin to the fur shop in the city for a few hundred copper coins." Zhao Yun 'er said.

Zhao Yun 'er said this because she was sure that these women wouldn't dare to go into the mountains. Compared to a few hundred copper coins, their lives were definitely more important.

Sure enough, when these women heard Zhao Yun 'er say this, their faces changed a little.

They didn't doubt Zhao Yun 'er's words. After all, there wasn't anything good in the village. It must be because she got some treasure from the mountains.

"This... going up the mountains... is it... dangerous?"

"There are so many wild beasts in the mountains. How can we go up there? If we are not careful, we will be swallowed by the wild beasts."

"It's not like we don't know how many people who went up the mountains were eaten by wild beasts. Going up the mountains is sending us to our deaths."

"Then I won't go. I don't want to lose my life for a few hundred copper coins."

"If you go, you might not be so lucky to pick up the fox skin."

"That's right... Forget it, then I'd better not go. Just thinking about it makes me panic..."

"…"

"…"

After these women finished their discussion, they gradually fell silent.

No matter how much money she earned, it was useless if she didn't have the life to enjoy it.

The corners of Zhao Yun 'er's mouth curled up into a smile. These women were finally not surrounding her with questions.

Old Man Hu, who had been smoking in silence, finally spoke up. He said to the women, "How can it be so easy to make money in this world? Don't be jealous of others who earn more and have such thoughts."

What Old Man Hu said was the truth. When Zhao Yun 'er heard this, her impression of Old Man Hu increased by a lot. This old man was a decent person.

"Yes, yes, yes. Old Man Hu, you're right. It's not easy for us to earn money."

Old Man Hu sighed and put away his tobacco pipe. He laughed and said, "Alright, everyone's here, right? If everyone's here, let's go back!"

"Coming, coming. Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Old Man Hu raised his whip and the ox-cart swayed as it drove towards the village.

Unknowingly, they reached home after a long journey.

Zhao Yun 'er carried a heavy basket on her back. When she saw Doudou, Zhao Tianan, and Zhao Tianfu playing together, she was relieved.

She shouted to Doudou, "Doudou, Mother is back!"

After Doudou heard Zhao Yun 'er's voice, he didn't care about playing and ran towards her directly.
