Chapter 562 Help Looking at Herbs_1

Aunt Huang was very efficient; by the evening of the second day, someone had delivered the herbs.

"Wife of Zheng Hong, can you check if we dug up the right ones to avoid bringing back a bunch of useless stuff?"

An older woman came over with a basket to ask for guidance.

She was the representative sent by all those who picked herbs because her coming alone wouldn't attract too much attention.

They had already learned their lesson from the last time the Tan Family bought herbs.

When others saw they could make money, they joined in on the excitement, and among them were inevitably those who muddied the waters, complicating things for the Tan Family and even dipping into their wages.

Apart from working in the fields, the most women in rural families could hope for was to help out at home with their needlework.

But their hands were calloused, often snagging the fabric while embroidering, which fetched a lower price than working for the Tan Family.
