Chapter 236: Severe Illness Requires Strong Medicine Yan Lao'er stood frozen in place when he received the money. "This... this is a lot more," he stammered. Yan Huaiwen explained patiently, "This isn’t just for buying medicine. Part of it covers the masks you brought earlier—His Excellency counted it as an official purchase, two wen per mask. The travel expenses for you and Qi Si on your journey to Longxing are included as well. Also, His Excellency would like you to continue helping…- 562.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 235 – The Actual Procurement Slips Doctor An thanked him not only for making the trip to Huimin Hall, but more so for the effort he had made to personally purchase the herbs.

The earlier lines were filled with everyday chatter, asking after his well-being and urging him to take care of his health. But toward the end, a few hurried lines had been added, speaking of the situation in…- 562.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 234 – Silver at Home Madam Cui was crying so hard her face was a mess of tears and snot. She didn’t even need Li Xuemei to ask; she just sobbed and hiccupped while chattering on and on. Her maiden family was from Da'an Village—a large village well-connected by marriage to the surrounding areas.

Chapter 233: The Maternal Family When Yan Yu woke up, she didn’t see her father. A glance around showed Sanbao was gone too—she knew then that her father must have gone out of the village. Just after breakfast, Madam Qi Da arrived. “Last night, my fifth came home and went straight to ask Mother how much dowry money is typically prepared for a marriage here in Guanzhou.

Chapter 232 – Sending Word of Safety Yan Lao’er had come out for two reasons: first, to check on the charcoal burning, and second, to talk to Qi Wu about building doors, windows, and furniture. To his surprise, the amount of charcoal produced had exceeded his expectations. Qi Da and Qi Wu had even built a wooden platform to elevate the ground and thrown up a makeshift shelter. “Doors, I can manage,” Qi Wu said. “But windows and cabinets and all that... Yan Lao’er, you sure you don’t…- 562.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 231: The Conditions for Joining the Young Scouts The Young Scouts gave their leader plenty of face. At her wave, they parted like flowing water, stepping aside to stand behind her. The other children watching could only grow more envious. Yan Yu got straight to the point: “If you want to join us, it’s not impossible—but there are a few things you need to listen to carefully. The Young Scouts aren’t playing some random kids’ game. We’re disciplined, and we have our own code…- 562.2 K • Ongoing
Chapter 230 – The Village’s Common Fund The Young Scouts earned 84 Work Points. At the conversion rate of 2.59 wen per point, that came out to 217.56 wen. They were paid 217 wen in cash, with the remaining decimals carried over on the books. Grinning from ear to ear, Yan Yu picked out a tael-weight silver nugget, plus 97 copper coins.

Chapter 23: Bamboo Slip Three “How long do we have to smoke this for?” Yan Yu, her cheeks flushed, leaned in and gazed at the meat hanging above the charcoal stove. “We need to dry out all the moisture and turn it into jerky. That way, it’ll keep for a long time,” Yan Lao’er replied. A spark of inspiration flashed in Yan Yu’s eyes. She turned to the ox that had just set her down. She asked, “Hey, Ox, if you can compress and dry grass feed, can you do the same with strips of…- 562.2 K • Ongoing
