erous crisis passed, Fang Jinshu's voice became much lighter. Thinking that the python was full of treasures, how could she not be happyI just want to rip it open and take out its guts.Before she coul...The restaurant owner, after taking the bowl, began to eye the wild boar across from him. He stroked his chin and said.

"In normal times, I would sell this wild boar to you for fifteen taels of silver."

“But times are tough now, as you all know. Even if this pork were the most expensive, it still needs to be sold and eaten by someone.”

"The prices of the dishes in our restaurant have been falling continuously, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive."

Zongyu had been acquainted with the boss for many years and trusted him. He didn't intend to make things difficult for him, so in the end, the wild boar could only be sold at a low price for nine taels of silver.

Fāng Jǐnxù felt it was a pity, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She also wanted to go further, perhaps she could sell for a higher price there. But back and forth would take so much time, her mother-in-law was still lying in bed waiting for the medicine to be brought back.

Words that reached the edge of my lips could only be swallowed back. I spent ten copper coins in the shop for a midday meal, and tucking away the remaining silver, the two of us went to the grain store.

A crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the grain store, most of them gaunt and pale from hunger. The drought had hit farmers the hardest.

Since they couldn't grow food in the ground, they could only buy grain from the grocery store to survive.

Zongyu lined up outside, took out four ounces of silver and two strings of copper coins and handed them to Fang Jinshu.

"This is the silver for your mother's medicine. The apothecary is right across the street. Just follow this road to the end of the street and you'll see it."

She took the silver, tucking it away, and couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away with the money"

They had only known each other for a day, Zong Yu was too unguarded with people.

Zongyu suddenly did something that took her by surprise.

He actually smiled faintly and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"You were sold to my family by your parents, and the deed of sale is still in my mother's hands. Where do you think you could possibly run off to"

Fang Jinxiu was stunned, she had actually forgotten about the sale contract.

Just now she even thought that the other party wasn't prepared, who knew this person was so cunning.

"I was just casually asking, it won't run away, my mother-in-law is very good to me, I will never leave until her illness is cured."

After finishing her words, she turned and walked towards the apothecary. This time, it was Zongyu's turn to be stunned in place.

She had been thinking of leaving all along, it turned out. She never really intended to stay and be his wife.

Unknowingly, as soon as he thought of this, a trace of melancholy flashed across Zong Yu's heart.

Also right, Fang Jinshu's medical skills are good, and her manners are not vulgar. She doesn't look like an ordinary farmer's daughter.

He always felt she hid many secrets, and didn't quite fit in with the village.

How could such a woman be willing to become the wife of this rough mountain man

Zong Yu let out a soft sigh, putting away many unwanted thoughts.

Fang Jinshi came to the pharmacy and inquired about the price of Bai Lingzhi, she was shocked.

"In terms of year and appearance, a ten-year white lingzhi mushroom costs twenty taels of silver per plant, while a hundred-year white lingzhi mushroom costs one hundred taels of silver per plant."

"As for the thousand-year-old herb, that's legendary medicine, priceless. Let alone collecting it, our ancestors for three generations haven't even seen such a rare herb."

Although the apothecary's owner wasn't dressed expensively, he had been to the capital city and seen the world.

He knew that someone asking about the price of herbs either had goods to sell or wanted to buy them.

Judging by the woman's attire, she doesn't seem like someone who could afford white lingzhi. In this town, there are occasional villagers living in the mountains who gather some rare herbs to sell.

My heart pounded with excitement, and I quickly asked.

"Do you have a Bai Lingzhi mushroom to sell, young lady"

"Rest assured, our apothecary's prices are the fairest. Even if the lingzhi is of poor quality, I can still give you ten taels of silver."

He said this, recognizing that the Lingzhi in Fang Jinshu's hands was definitely not of high age.

Actually, the apothecary owner wasn't telling the truth at all. Ten years of white lingzhi only worth ten taels

A century's worth of hard work, only worth one hundred taels.

Even if Fang Jinshu didn't know the prices of medicinal herbs in this world, her intuition told her that the shopkeeper definitely wasn't telling the truth.

"No."

"I just heard about it from people in our village. They said there might be some on the back hills of the village. I know it's valuable, so I came to ask about the price."

She feigned envy and said, "If only I could dig one up! It's worth ten taels of silver, you know."

This white lingzhi mushroom is at least a hundred years old. Even if she wanted to sell it, she couldn't do so here.

This shop owner is not honest at all.se, covered in dust and dirt, holding two bamboo shoots in his hands. He was chatting and laughing with Yu Lian.< Zong Yu's face paled. "You two went up the mountain" >When Zong Bai saw his elder brot...
