The next day, Yang Xiaocui really got her wish and found a basket of eggs and a package of herbal medicine at the base of her home wall.

She seized a moment when the kids at home weren’t paying attention and took the items to her room.

She counted the eggs in the basket; there were as many as thirty.

A greedy smile crept across her lips; Yang Dong was indeed generous, giving her so much. In the future, he might give her even more.

Her current worry was how to exchange the herbal medicine for silver for Yang Daniu.

Though it’s not far from Yang Family Village to the town, right now, the roads are filled with busy farmers. If she goes to town, she would definitely be noticed, and once noticed, her mother would find out, or maybe the Yang Family members might find out.

She has always stayed at home in this village, hardly ever going to town, and if she suddenly goes, someone would inevitably be suspicious.

After much thought, she decided not to risk going to town herself to exchange for silver, but rather to give the herbal medicine to Yang Daniu and let him go exchange it himself.

After all, Brother Daniu often goes to town for fun; he knows his way around and has connections there.

Thinking this, she felt relieved, planning to give the herbal medicine to Yang Daniu the next day to settle the issue.

But what she did not expect was that when she went to the mountain as arranged and handed the herbal medicine to Yang Daniu.

Yang Daniu’s expression suddenly changed, and grabbing her collar, he exclaimed, "What’s the meaning of this package of herbal medicine you’re giving me? I’m not sick, are you messing with me?"

"Brother Daniu, please let go of me and listen to what I have to say."

"What more do you have to say? I think you want Yang Dong to know about your pretending to faint. If that’s the case, I’ll go tell Yang Dong and have him give me silver." Yang Daniu released Yang Xiaocui with a shove.

Yang Xiaocui, small and frail like a child, was thrown to the ground from the shove, but Yang Daniu didn’t care; he was fuming at that moment.

Seeing Yang Daniu angry and about to go down the mountain to find Yang Dong, Yang Xiaocui hadn’t even risen but quickly hugged Yang Daniu’s leg and said, "Brother Daniu, that herbal medicine is from Yang Dong. I don’t have time to go to town to exchange it for silver, you take it, it’s worth at least half a silver."

Upon hearing this, Yang Daniu stopped in his tracks, but before he could speak, Yang Xiaocui continued, "I’m ill from hunger; Yang Dong knows this. I told him my previous medicine was taken by my mother to sell, so he bought this for me again. Trust me, this really is worth silver." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Yang Daniu thought that currently, Yang Xiaocui would only find her mother since she’s not yet married to Yang Dong. He could take some small money from Yang Xiaocui’s home first, and after Yang Xiaocui gets married, he could really rake in a fortune.

But he did not expect that Yang Xiaocui would not go to her family, but instead went to Yang Dong, who was the person involved. If anything goes wrong and Yang Dong finds out, wouldn’t she be done for?

But whether she’s done for or not, it’s none of his business. He only wanted silver; since Yang Dong was willing to spend silver on Yang Xiaocui, he might as well just enjoy the benefit.

Yang Xiaocui had already managed to get fish, ducks, and herbal medicine from Yang Dong, she could probably get other things too. Given that, he could make a fortune now.

So he disdainfully said, "Just this package of herbal medicine, how much money can it bring? Are you trying to pay off a beggar? Yang Xiaocui, you really are something."
