Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1304 - 1306: Sharing Good News, Not Bad News
Although the family has gone bankrupt, there’s a saying that a thin camel is still bigger than a horse.
The elders pooled together all their possessions, totaling two thousand taels.
Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe that the younger generation had no silver at all?
The family won’t have issues maintaining their basic needs.
The main issue now is how to get this Stone Mountain back on track and how to make the family earn silver like before. "Dad, since this has already happened, you shouldn’t worry too much. Fortunately, you’re all okay and you’ve been released."
"Yeah, no worries, as long as we’re still here, it’s all good. Wealth is external; we can earn it again. We have so many people in the family, as long as you all stay focused, it’s fine." Zhong old dad is quite open-minded; as long as the family works together and stays united, it’s stronger than anything else.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? We definitely won’t lose focus."
"Exactly, Uncle, we brothers will just keep working. The mountain isn’t sealed, with our skills, sooner or later we’ll support the family."

The younger generation also chimed in with encouragement, and the atmosphere was no longer as heavy. Xiaoxiao noticed her older cousin Zhong Lihui hadn’t spoken, so she brought it up, not because she was big-mouthed, but because it had to be addressed sooner or later. "Dad, now that the silver is gone, we really need to get that mountain back. This time, the eldest cousin brought business back from Beijing, if the mountain had truly been sealed, we would be doomed."
The family was stunned when they heard this, and the eldest aunt of the Zhong family exclaimed in surprise, "Li Hui, didn’t you say the business deal didn’t go through?"
Seeing that his sister revealed the matter, Zhong Lihui had no choice but to speak up, "I didn’t want to worry you all, that’s why I didn’t say anything. Now the mountain is unsealed, so I’ll go find people to work tomorrow."
Even though he wasn’t sure if there would be people willing to go up the mountain to work, they had to try, right?
No matter what, as long as the mountain isn’t sealed, there’s hope for business. If the mountain was sealed, that would be utterly hopeless.
After hearing this, everyone was invigorated. It really seemed like there’s always a way out.
"Big brother, that’s great."
"Yes, luckily we got the mountain back."
"Yang Ming sure thinks ahead."
"That’s right, after all, he’s a scholar, unlike us."
"..."
"..."
While rejoicing, everyone also praised Yang Ming, whose standing in the Zhong family had risen significantly.
Because of this news, the family chatted and laughed, not bothering to ask how big the business was. As long as there’s business, there’s silver to earn. They just needed to work hard. The Zhong family had always operated this way, never quarreling over how much silver there was.
Xiaoxiao and Zhong Lihui only shared the good news, not mentioning potential loss, like whether business might fail or if villagers would go up the mountain to work. Anyway, they would know once they went looking for people tomorrow.
After chatting a bit, dinner was ready in the kitchen. After eating, everyone went back to their own homes for a good rest.
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming took their child back to Xiaoxiao’s room.
"Honey, you’ve worked hard."
"What are you saying? It’s just that I couldn’t save any silver for the family." Yang Ming was still a bit remorseful; so much silver was given away, it would have been better to keep some.
"If that magistrate let us keep any silver, he wouldn’t be that magistrate, would he?" Xiaoxiao said, starting to complain, "Honey, when do you think that magistrate will fall from power?"
