All she heard was her sister Jiang Xiantang asking.
"Sister, what is this?"
She looked curious.
Jiang Xianyun whispered, "A gift for you."
"Gift?"
"Ah."
Jiang Xianyun opened the box and took out the safety lock she bought. The safety lock was a solid piece of silver, beautifully crafted, with three small bells hanging under it and a beautifully woven red rope tied to it, with two silver beads hanging on each side of the red rope.
"Wow, this is a safety lock."
"Here, mine."
"Yes, I bought it for you." As he spoke, Jiang Xianyun reached out and put the lock around her neck.
She nodded.
"Yes, it's quite beautiful."
Jiang Xiantang couldn't let go of the lock, but when she thought about her poor family and how much it would cost, she shook her head. "Sister, I don't want it. It must be very expensive. Let's exchange it for money."
Jiang Xianyun pretended to be sad. "Why, you don't like it? I thought you would like the candy I picked with good taste, but I didn't expect..."
Jiang Xiantang became anxious when she heard this, and the little girl was about to cry.
“No, it isn’t, I love it.
"The lock my sister bought is very beautiful, but I think it's very expensive."
Jiang Xianyun touched her head.
"It's given to you, so wear it. I hope you grow up safely."
"Thank you, sister."
"You have it too, little brother."
She took out a small box and handed it to him. "I bought you a bracelet with silver beads."
Jiang Xianwei took it. This was a gift from his elder sister. He opened it and took it out. This was a style for men to wear. The beads were also very large and printed with a blessing pattern.
"Thank you, sister."
"This is for Dad."
His father's is a silver brand.
Father Jiang held the sign in his hand with his fingers.
"These things cost a lot of money, didn't they?"
These are all made with real money.
"Dad, just take it. Since I bought it, it must be because I have money."
[Xiaohua, take out five hundred taels of silver from the system backpack and put it in my arms to ask for the silver note.]
00985 Emperor's Childbirth System: [OK host, I have detected your need, and the silver note has been taken out and placed in your arms. ]
"Come and sit down."
She gestured to her younger brother and sister-in-law, then looked at her father, reached out to take out the square wooden box containing silver from the cloth bag on the table, opened it and placed it on the table for them.
Pointed to the silver in the boxes.
"This is the money from selling game in the county. The buffalo and deer sold for a total of 255 taels of silver. This time, the restaurant owner took a fancy to the pair of deer antlers, so he sold them for so much money. After deducting the dozens of taels I spent, I still have 200 taels."
As she spoke, she took out a few silver notes with a face value of fifty taels and one hundred taels from her bosom and placed them on the table.
"Here is five hundred taels."
Father Jiang pointed at the money.
"Here, this money."
Glancing at her father.
Jiang Xianyun talked nonsense in a serious manner.
"I dug up a ginseng. I wasn't sure if it was ginseng at first because I had never seen one before. So I didn't tell you. I just thought it looked a bit like the ginseng described in the book, so I put it away. Today I thought of taking it to the county to try it out. I didn't expect it to be ginseng, so I found a medicine store to sell it. I didn't tell anyone else about this, and my cousin doesn't know either."
Father Jiang patted his chest.
"You are right not to say it. Don't show your wealth to others."
"If people knew that you dug ginseng and sold it for so much money, they would definitely be jealous." Jiang Xianyun: "Well, I know, Dad, you can keep this money and use it for household expenses in the future."
Her father waved his hands when he heard this, obviously a little agitated. "No, this money is yours, you keep it yourself, and these too. Dad still has his hands, and when I get better I'll be a carpenter, so the family won't be without money."
Jiang Xianyun: "..."
If it were another father, he would probably want to squeeze every last bit of value out of his daughter.
The original owner's family was indeed a good one.
"Dad, you keep this money. You are the head of the family and we are still young. It is not appropriate to take this money. Look, I am still a girl. Aren't you afraid that someone will cheat you out of it? As far as I know, there are many men out there who use sweet words to cheat girls out of their money and sex."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's father was furious.
"If they dare, I will kill them even if I sacrifice my life."
After thinking about it, he nodded slightly.
"So, you should keep the money. I make money just to make my family live a better life."
Father Jiang nodded.
"Okay, put this money here first. If you need it, come to your father and get it. I'll keep it for you as a dowry, or to find a son-in-law for you."
Jiang Xianyun laughed dryly.
"There's no rush for this. Let's wait until the right time comes."
She couldn't tell her father that she wanted to bring back a prince, as that might scare this honest hunter.
Looking at the silver on the table, Jiang Xianwei felt numb.
He was thinking about making money for his sister when he grew up, but looking at this money now, he might never be able to make it back in his lifetime.
"Sister, you are so amazing. Look at those people who say that girls are money-losing goods. I really think that they are useless. Who among the sons of the families in these villages can compare to my sister?"
Jiang Xianyun raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, stop praising me. I know my own worth. If you keep praising me, I'll become arrogant."
"Sister is already very powerful."
Jiang Xianyun's eyes fell on the moldy and damp walls of the house.
"By the way, now that we have money at home, we can consider building a new house. My dear brother, do you want to build on another foundation, or tear down this old house and rebuild it? This old house is also OK, but it's a little small."
"Sister, I will listen to you."
Father Jiang looked at the dilapidated house.
It is indeed uninhabitable. It leaks when it rains. Even if it is repaired, it won't be habitable for more than two years.
"We need to build a house first. This old house has been in disrepair for a long time. The walls are cracked and it is not safe to live in."
Jiang Xianyun nodded.
"Okay, that's settled,"
She reached out and pushed the silver in the box in front of her brother.
"Take the two hundred taels here, and I'll leave the house building to you. As for building a bigger house, my idea is to buy another place to build the foundation. I think the land at the head of the village is very good, and there is a river next to it. You can buy some land with the rest of the money, anyway, it's up to you."
Ordinary people feel at ease because they have a lot of land.
Jiang Xianwei nodded.
"Dad, sister, leave the house building to me. I will definitely get it done. The land at the head of the village belongs to the village chief. I will go buy it tomorrow. Since we need to build a house, we need to go to the town to buy bricks and tiles. I will go and take a look first..."
Jiang Xianyun had no objection.
"Okay, it's up to you."
He felt like he was okay again.
My sister has entrusted such an important matter to him, so he must not mess it up, otherwise he would be unworthy of my sister's trust.
Jiang's father had no objection. He would just give his son some pointers on things he didn't understand. After all, his son would eventually grow up.
That night, the family's faces were filled with joy as they looked forward to a better tomorrow.
After Jiang Xianyun fell asleep at night.
I went into the Sixth Prince’s dream again.
