“About fifty taels.”

Gu Yundong thought sadly. If it was possible, she would also give him two taels of silver. Really, it was not easy for her to earn money.

But she wanted to live a peaceful life. It was better to be a good person.

However, 50 taels of silver was the bottom line. It could not be more.

After all, she had spent a lot of money in the Qing’an Prefecture. She had paid a sum of money for accommodation, the portrait, food, sending the letter, and buying all kinds of things. Also… Ahem, it seemed that she had not given the consultation fee to Doctor Song. Uncle Bai Yang had given the man silver as thanks, and the officers had also rewarded her.

Heh, this trip didn’t seem to be a loss.

Thinking of this, Gu Yundong felt much better.

Fifty taels of silver was not a lot at all.

After she finished pondering, she happened to see a fork in the road ahead. She quickly turned around and asked Stinky Egg, “Where…”

She stopped mid-sentence. She watched helplessly as Stinky Egg’s eyes widened like a wooden man’s, and the basket in her hand fell without warning.

Gu Yundong hurriedly shouted, grabbed the basket on her back, and placed it inside.

Stinky Egg trembled violently and finally came back to his senses. He pointed to the road on the left.

Then, he dug his ears hard. “Sister Gu, I think I was struck by lightning just now. I was unconscious and heard something strange.”

The corners of Gu Yundong’s mouth twitched. “You didn’t hear wrongly. It’s 50 taels.”

Stinky Egg looked like he had been struck by lightning again. Gu Yundong shook her head and ignored him.

After a while, Stinky Egg grabbed the shaft of the carriage and smiled foolishly.

Seeing that Stinky Egg’s village was not far away, Gu Yundong shook him and reminded him, “But don’t tell anyone. If others ask, just say that the herbs were sold for two taels of silver and that they were all used to repay the debt. Do you hear me?”

This village was very poor. After all, many refugees had passed through the village from Yongning Prefecture to Qing’an Prefecture a few months ago.

Although this place still belonged to Qing’an Prefecture, if the prefectural city was in such a state, how good could the surrounding villages be?

If others knew that his family suddenly had a lot of money, they would probably be in trouble.

Stinky Egg hurriedly nodded and pointed to a courtyard. “That’s my house.”

The carriage went all the way, just like the first time they went to Yongfu Village. Many people followed curiously.

Gu Yundong had to look for the village chief to sort out the graves.

When they found out that someone was hiring people to work, they naturally fought to recommend themselves.

But Gu Yundong did not need many people. In the end, including Stinky Egg’s father, only three people were enough.

She had also seen Stinky Egg’s family. His parents were indeed very honest. He also had a timid sister who hid shyly when she saw her.

She had given 50 taels of silver to Stinky Egg’s parents and explained the situation.

The two were so excited that they cried tears of joy. They slaughtered a chicken for Gu Yundong and her mother on the spot.

Gu Yundong stayed in the village for two days before leaving. Unexpectedly, it was raining again.

Therefore, by the time she set off again, five to six days had passed.

Stinky Egg and her sister were already familiar with her and could not bear to part with her.

The rest of the journey was rather smooth, but after seeing Bian Mulan’s grave, Gu Yundong’s heart felt heavy.

Madam Yang seemed to understand and took a few days to recover.

Half a month later, the carriage finally entered the prefectural city of Yongning Prefecture.

Compared to Qing’an Prefecture, this place seemed even more desolate.

Gu Yundong found an inn and planned to stay in the city for a day before going to the county tomorrow.

However, just as she settled down and was about to bring Madam Yang out to buy some clothes, she felt as if someone was watching her from behind..
