She was willing to respect her elders but didn't want to be constrained by them in the future. "Third sister, mother, you're back. It's really hot today. What were you discussing just now?" Zhang coincidentally returned with Chu Qingxiang. Ye Muyu calmly said, "Mother helped me buy a bucket of milk and I was asking about the price." "Can it really cure illnesses?" Zhang was somewhat surprised and added, "Mother, how much is this milk per pound? According to Third Sister's words, it's good for the body. If the body is healthy, wouldn't medicine be more effective?" Ye Muyu wasn't surprised at all by Zhang comment. She slightly lowered her eyes, recognizing the shrewdness of her sister-in-law from the beginning. Therefore, she preferred not to involve herself too much in her interests. Now, it was better to keep things peaceful. Chu Liushi's mouth moved slightly. Seeing Ye Muyu's tacit agreement she found it hard to keep hiding and said, "This bucket is fifty wens. It didn't specify the price per pound." Ye Muyu was somewhat surprised. The price of milk didn't seem too expensive. That bucket likely contained at least ten pounds, making it five wens per pound. Ye Muyu handed the copper coins to Chu Liushi. Chu Liushi said nothing, accepting them. After drinking tea, they got on the donkey cart. When they returned to the village, Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo got off first carrying the items they bought today into the house. Later, the donkey cart took Chu Liushi and the others to the old house. After getting off the cart, Chu Liushi didn't forget to give five copper coins to Chu Xing for the travel expenses. Seeing this, Zhang signaled for Chu Qingxiang to do the same. After Chu Xing drove the donkey cart away, Zhang said, "Mother, I think Third Sister made quite a bit of money selling those medicinal herbs today. Shouldn't we go to the forest and see if there's any?" "Of course, we should go. We can't miss such a good opportunity to make money." Chu Liushi wasn't foolish. Those three types of medicinal herbs, as long as they had them, could be sold for a small profit, enough to cover household expenses. How could she not be happy? Zhang was even happier, saying, "Mother, it looks like our Chu family is turning things around. We might be able to sell some silver every year from now on. Just the vine alone we won't have to worry about not having enough." "That's true. When your father and the others come back at noon, we'll tell them this good news." Chu Liushi was also happy and didn't care about Zhang's hidden intentions. In less than a day, the entire Chu family knew about the three types of medicinal herbs that could be sold for money. Like wild fan flower fruit and astragalus, which could grow in Ye Muyu's barren land it indicated that the climate here was suitable. Naturally, other mountainous areas would also have them but people just didn't know what they were usually. After the family learned about it, when Ye Muyu took Chu Ziluo out again to pick the remaining fan flower fruits and astragalus in the field, they saw many women from the family going to various mountainous areas, carrying baskets and looking for medicinal herbs. Even during the busy farming season, they managed to find time. Ye Muyu couldn't help but admire the diligence of her family members especially the girls who were originally studying needlework at home and preparing for the women's competition. They were now going out to help pick wild fan flower fruits and vines. Astragalus was rare, so it could be ignored. But Ye Muyu knew that there were indeed many places in the mountainous areas where wild fan flower fruits grew and the quantity was not small. But based on the production of one tree, there would be at least four to five pounds. Even with a larger quantity, they could earn two or three taels of silver. In addition to this, there was also the use of vine roots. Selling medicinal herbs did result in some losses but if they could be processed into vine powder they could also be sold as food.
