Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"Mother, what Grandma Chen said is true, she did sell a lot of money."

Not just five or six hundred taels, but a thousand taels.

Tao'er said in a low voice.

The three of them—Da Niu and his wife, along with Qing Ge—were all shocked.

"What?

Peach Girl, you said you sold it for a thousand taels of silver?

real or fake?

Don't lie to your mother!

"It's like selling something as hard as a mushroom or wood for so much money?"

Zhang Su'e could hardly believe it.

"Mother, how could Tao'er possibly lie to you!"

That thing is called Ganoderma lucidum, not a mushroom or wood. If it's a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it's even more valuable.

However, the Ganoderma lucidum only sold for five hundred taels, while other medicinal herbs, mushrooms, and Plum Blossom Nu (a type of medicinal herb) sold for a total of one thousand taels.

Tao'er smiled, understanding the shock in her parents' eyes.

"You silly child, you sold so much silver, you can't just shout it from the whole village!"

If your grandma and the others found out, wouldn't they come knocking on your door to beg for money?

Your fourth uncle hasn't left yet; he might come knocking on your door to borrow money!

If I lend this money, it'll be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone and never to be returned!

Liu Daniu thought his daughter was usually quite clever, so why was she so unintelligent at crucial moments?

"Peach Girl, your father is right. How can you tell the villagers that you made a lot of money selling it!"

Don't flaunt your wealth, silly girl!

The people at the old house probably already know, and they might come to cause trouble again!

Zhang Su'e frowned, wondering if her daughter was a little silly.

Qingge interjected with a smile at this moment, "Master and Madam, you don't need to worry. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Our young lady has a lot of ideas of her own!"

She must have her own reasons for doing this; she's not one to suffer a loss.

"If anyone from the old house dares to cause trouble, I'll make them regret it."

Qingge clenched her fist.

They look quite cute!

Tao'er laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight when she saw Qingge's expression. "Qingge understands me best. I did have my reasons for doing this."

Firstly, it lets everyone in the village know that our family suddenly became rich because we sold some good stuff from the mountains.

That way, the old house can't say that you two hid some money before you divided the family property.

And what I just said to the villagers was that my good luck was because of this haunted house.

Now everyone thinks our haunted house is a lucky house.

"Oh, Peach Girl, your method is good. This way, others won't be as vicious as our family."

Zhang Su'e was initially worried that once they moved in, the villagers would be afraid to interact with them.

After all, nobody wants to have bad luck.

"My daughter is so insightful. This will make things much easier for your two brothers' marriages in the future."

Otherwise, because of this haunted house, I'm afraid matchmakers wouldn't dare to come to the door.

Liu Daniu never expected his daughter to be so intelligent, far surpassing his two sons.

"Father is right, that's something I've also considered."

If the daughter's guess is correct, a matchmaker will come to the door that afternoon to arrange marriages for her two older brothers.

After all, they all knew that my family had money, and that my two older brothers were both good-looking, tall, and capable, and of good character.

"Of course, there are girls willing to marry into this family."

That's how it is!

A man who is rich, good-looking, and has good character is the kind of man women want to marry, regardless of the era.

"That's great! Now we won't have to worry about Tiezhu and Tiechui's marriage."

First examine the iron pillar, then examine the iron hammer.

"Once your two older brothers are married, we'll find you a husband."

Zhang Su'e was overjoyed; this had been her long-held wish.

"Mother, I'm not in a hurry. Let's settle my two older brothers' marriages first!"

I just got back, and I want to spend a few more years with my parents!

She was very grateful to her parents and brothers for the warmth of family they provided.

Although this family was poor, they were genuinely good to her.

"Alright, alright, then so be it. Mother can't bear to see her daughter get married so early."

If you don't want to get married, then we'll find a son-in-law to live with us!

Our house is big enough; it can easily accommodate everyone.

That way I can still see my daughter every day.

Zhang Su'e suddenly felt that this method was not bad.

"Yes, Su'e is right, this method is good."

We'll find a son-in-law to live with Tao Yatou then.

If a son-in-law treats his daughter well, then we'll treat him like a son.

If he's not good to my daughter, we'll kick him out!

Liu Daniu thought this method was brilliant, as it would eliminate his worries about his daughter being mistreated in her husband's family.

"We have no objection. Our little sister is so outstanding and beautiful. She doesn't necessarily have to get married in the future. She can just find a husband who will live with her!"

That way, if he gets bullied, we older brothers can teach him a lesson.

"Yes, if my son-in-law treats my younger sister badly, I'll beat him until he shits himself."

"Second brother, can you please not speak so rudely? Otherwise you'll scare the girl away when you go on a blind date."

Tao'er burst out laughing; this second brother was just too funny!

"You brat, you can't use those foul words in front of your sister next time!"

Liu Daniu slapped the second son on the back of the head.

"Dad, I was wrong. I'll be more careful next time, hehe!"

Could you please be a little gentler when you hit someone on the back of the head next time? What if you make them stupid?

Do you still want your son to get married?

Liu Tiechui rubbed his aching head and said aggrievedly.

"So what if he's been beaten senseless? I still have your older brother; I'll still be able to hold my grandson!"

Liu Daniu said this, but he had a smile on his face.

"Hahaha……

Second brother, it seems Dad has rejected you!

"Peach teased."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, Qingge spoke up, "Actually, it's good that Brother Tiechui speaks like this. He's simple-minded and straightforward!"

A girl who understands him won't look down on him.

"Listen to what Qingge is saying!"

Liu Tiechui immediately became smug and got his revenge.

Tao'er stole a glance at Qingge and noticed that her second brother's face turned a little red when he praised her.

Is it...

When did this happen? How come she didn't notice?

Let's not think about that for now, let's divide the silver first.

"Everyone, stop for a moment. There's something very important to do right now."

"What's so important?"

"Peach Girl, tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Su'e immediately became anxious.

"Mother, don't be nervous, it's a good thing, it means we'll get our share of the silver."

I'll keep five hundred taels of the thousand taels of silver. The remaining two hundred will go to my eldest brother, and three hundred to my second brother, since the second brother hunted all the game, so he'll get a bigger share.

Keep this money for your own use; it will be yours when you get married.

Then I took out two hundred, one hundred for each of my parents. This is my way of showing my respect to you; you can't refuse.

Tao'er gave the money to her two older brothers and her parents.

"Little sister, we can't take so much. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had such good luck and wouldn't have been able to sell it for such a high price."

"I don't need that much, ten or twenty taels will be enough."

Liu Tiezhu shook his head.

Ten or twenty taels would be a lot for him.

"I don't want it either. I just picked some mushrooms. They're not worth that much silver. Just give me a little silver."

Liu Tiechui shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

This younger sister is so kind; she actually gave them so much money.

"Peach Girl, you don't need to give us any money. We haven't done anything."

I've wronged you all these years.

Keep this money safe; it will be your financial foundation in the future.

Zhang Su'e never expected that her daughter would give them money.

"Your mother and I cannot accept the money, Peach Girl. Now our family is living a good life because of you, and your father is very happy."

How could I possibly take your money?

Liu Daniu knew in his heart that if it weren't for this daughter, they would still be living a miserable life as before.

"If you don't want me, then you're not treating me like a daughter or a sister, and I'll be angry."

Tao'er deliberately put on a stern face and said.

Everyone then accepted the silver, their hearts filled with gratitude, and even more so with joy.

Tao'er took out another fifty taels of silver and gave it to Qingge. "Qingge, you've also helped us out. This fifty taels is for you. Like I said, you can't refuse it."

Otherwise, I won't want you anymore.

Qingge accepted the silver, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Thank you, young lady!"

Where can you find such a wonderful girl? How wonderful it would be if the master could marry her!

While everyone here was enjoying themselves, the old house on the other side presented a completely different scene!
