CHAPTER 201 - PERSUASION

The couple had lived to this age and had never thought of relying on other means to earn money!

Wasn't it a joke when she asked the couple to gather herbs or even grow herbs to exchange for money!?

Seeing how her parents reacted, Su Yun explained her plan in detail.

"Father, mother, I'm not joking. I thought about it on the way back.

Our village could be considered surrounded by mountains, but we don't have many wild animals here, but medicinal herbs are everywhere! Let's not talk about planting the Lingzhi or the Ginseng, but things like the honeysuckle or the wolfberry seeds, there definitely won't be any problems! "

Honeysuckle flowers were a type of flower that could be found all over the mountains and plains in the spring!

But very few people would pick it, let alone plant it on a large scale.

However, growing this thing from a flower to a leaf is of great use. It is a treasure used to relieve the heat of the summer and to set the fire.

There was no need to mention the wolfberry seeds. They could be used for medicinal herbs as well as for food.

Father, Mother, these things are all kept in the pharmacy all year round. We might not be able to plant as much as you want, but it should not be a problem to plant an acre or two of land, right?

If she remembered correctly, their house had been allocated a lot of mountainous areas, but not many had been planted.

If they could make use of these mountains, they would not waste any money and could earn more!

When Su Gui heard what daughter said, he felt that she had a point, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

"Yun, it's fine if you want me to grow land with your mother. After all, we have been digging for so many years, it is not difficult for us to till the land!

If you ask us to grow medicinal ingredients, isn't that just making things difficult for us …

Su's Mother also felt that this matter was too difficult. That's right, Yun. Your dad and I don't understand these things. Besides, we haven't heard of anyone in our village who cultivates medicinal herbs.

What should we do if we lose money!? "

Su Yun had already guessed that the two elders would have a lot of misgivings.

She patiently explained to her parents, "Father, Mother, it's precisely because our family doesn't have much money that I suggest we plant the honeysuckle and medlar first.

Firstly, it's because both are easy to support, and there's no need to put too much effort into them. "

The Honeysuckle Flower is blooming at this time. When that happens, we can put it away and use it for drying. After that, we can directly send it to the medicine store or the infirmary for money.

There's no need to even mention the medlar. This medlar can be sold as a dish and a large portion of it can be kept until autumn to be collected. This way, I'll be able to earn two portions of the profit …"

Most importantly, these two items could be found on the mountain.

Their family didn't have any extra money to buy seedlings right now, so they could just go up the mountain and look for wild ones!

Especially that medlar, it could be cut alive, it was not difficult at all!

Even with the cultivation method of water, he could turn one plant into many in a short month.

Su's Mother listened to her daughter's words. If she didn't say she was moved, then that must be a lie.

She asked Su Yun, Then if we plant now, do we have to wait until next year to sell it?

If it's the Silver Flower, then it must be it. Su Yun nodded, But we don't need the medlar either. The medlar grows all year round. This year, even if we can't sell medlar, selling medlar is still okay!

CHAPTER 202 - CONVINCE 2

Father, mother, let's plant some. Su Yun continued, "After that, we will go up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs for sale. This is also a huge sum of money.

At that time, if we encounter any good ones or find any that are easier to sell, we can also find some to plant. "

If this year won't scale, then we'll dig for two years!

As long as he put his heart into it, he would be able to achieve a good result.

Su Gui didn't think much of the matter of planting and harvesting medicinal herbs before, but now, listening to daughter's analysis, he felt that he could give it a try!

daughter had toiled so hard trying to think of a way for her parents. As her father, she might not have the mind to do it, but she was doing it for the good of her family. He would do it!

Thinking about this, he nodded, "Alright then! Your mother and I will listen to you. When our legs are better, we will go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs.

In this way, our family will be able to earn a few more coins. Moreover, we can also see whether or not this medicinal herb is for sale. "

Seeing that they had finally agreed, Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief. It will definitely be easy to sell! If you don't believe me, we can find a rich person to ask! "

Speaking of doctors, she thought about how her parents were injured and sick. How often does the doctor come to see you?

This... I think it's about five or six days, I just came here a few days ago. Su's Mother said, But last time, we still owed him two hundred yuan, so we don't know if he was willing to come or not.

Other than the things in the ground, his family was truly poor.

If it wasn't for the benevolence of that doctor, who would have come to treat their own family …?

Hearing her mother's helpless words, Su Yun went to retrieve ten taels of silver.

She placed the silver in front of her parents and said, "Here are ten taels of silver. Father, Mother, take it. Let's treat our injuries and illnesses first.

Looking at the purse, Su Gui's face dropped, Take it back!

Exactly! Your father and I are having a hard time right now, but we can't spend the money that you have! Su's Mother was also unwilling. It's not easy for the two of you. Hurry up and take it back!

He couldn't bear to spend the money they painstakingly saved, so of course they wouldn't take it!

Seeing their dark expressions, Su Yun explained, "This is something that I discussed with my boss and not something that I decided on my own!

At the beginning, he said he would give me 15 taels of silver. I also expected that the two elders definitely wouldn't want it, so I said I would give 10 taels of silver to him!

Just take it. If you don't, when he gets home, I'll be reprimanded!

No matter what she said, Su Gui refused to accept the silver!

He looked at Su Yun seriously, You and your wife aren't so easy to deal with. We still have some land on our side, but you and your wife really don't have anything!

Even if you can make money from hunting and picking wild vegetables, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to gather wild vegetables and kill wild animals every day …

If the weather was bad, it would be even worse. It would be great if he didn't starve!

Su Yun saw that the two of them were thinking about the couple everywhere. She was afraid that the couple wouldn't be able to sleep well and would have no money to spend on food. She felt warm in her heart, but also felt her nose sour.

She stuffed the silver into her mother's hands and gave her an excuse that she could not refuse.

CHAPTER 203 - CONVINCE 3

Mother, take this silver! You don't have to reject me. I didn't give this silver to you and my dad. I gave it to my brother to study.

Yes, you will be able to go back to work after a while. However, it's already quite good for our family to be able to eat our fill. As for our younger brother's repair and other expenses, how could the two of you earn them in one night? "

Eating was not expensive, but reading was different!

Although the two elders had been farming for a long time, they didn't have much left over to show off to the public!

However, after experiencing such a huge fire this year, most of the things in their homes had been burnt. The food from the past years had all turned into black charcoal. It was unknown whether or not the things in this year's land would be able to survive!

If they didn't have money, then their younger brother's school expenses would really be too much for them to squeeze out.

Her words really stabbed into the hearts of Su Gui and his wife, especially Su's Mother.

After she heard this, she let out a long sigh, It's really not easy to solve your brother's problem at school. But Yun, you gave us the silver and you two really spent it?"

Of course! Su Yun quickly nodded, "To tell you the truth, we are still discussing a collaboration with Manager Tian.

When we go back, there should be a result. If it's possible, we can have at least five or six silver taels, not to mention a lot.

Adding the leftover money from her and Liu Qingshan's hands, he would be able to make over ten taels of silver.

Furthermore, after returning home, the couple would continue to work hard to earn money. It was certain that they would earn money every day.

She was afraid that the more they thought about it, the more they thought about it. Anyway, you guys just keep this silver. When you're done, you don't have to go around begging others.

That's true …

Su Gui also felt that there was nothing he could do, Your Second Uncle's family is going to get married because of this. Now we are asking the doctor to spend most of his money on this.

Then that's it. Rather than making Second Uncle's family suffer, we might as well endure it ourselves!

That's right! Then I'll borrow this silver for your little brother first. When the time comes, I'll make him write a few notes so that he can earn his own money in the future. I'll have to return this silver to you!

Su Yun wanted to say that she didn't need to.

However, thinking about how his father was a stubborn person, he nodded his head!

...

The Su Family Village was relatively close to the city, so after Liu Qingshan left, he had already returned in less than an hour!

There was also a doctor who came back with him!

The doctor gave Su Gui and his wife a look, and said in the end, "There's nothing wrong with both of your illnesses, it's just that you've overthought it and caused it. As long as he didn't think too much or think in the best way possible, everything would be fine!

As for the old tutor's injury on his leg, it had mostly healed. But old man, you still have to be mentally prepared. Even if your leg is healed, I'm afraid it won't be as nimble as it was before.

It was the muscles and bones that were injured, and the bones were originally cracked.

It was almost done, but the split was not recovering well.

Su Gui knew about this, so he didn't care much about it.

The only thing he cared about was this, Then Doctor, can I still work underground?

Of course, it's not a problem. It's just that we can't do things that are too heavy.

After confirming that he could still work on the floor, Su Gui's worried heart was finally let down.

CHAPTER 204 - HOW DID HE KNOW?

In a city not far from Su Family Village, Academy.

The teacher was not surprised to see Su Shi return. I had expected that you would come back. It's just that I didn't expect that you would come back so quickly.

Su Shi's face turned red when he heard this. He briefly explained the matter of his sister and brother-in-law's return before continuing.

"It's not easy for my sister and brother-in-law, and I think they're right. If I dropped out of school now and went home, I wouldn't be farming and wouldn't be able to help.

A few years ago, my family put in so much effort to provide me with books that I wasted away, so …

Before he could finish, the teacher smiled and nodded his head, "It's good that you understand your sister's painstaking efforts. Su Shi, although you are not the smartest student I have ever taught you.

However, if you are willing to endure hardships in your studies, it won't be easy for anyone to get into a high school unless they have great talent!

You should study hard. Not to mention the top scholar, even if you were to return home after taking the Elementary Scholar examination, it would still be extremely good!

Forget about the others, at the very least, if he were to take the Elementary Scholar examination, his family would not have to pay taxes anymore!

For a family, this was already a huge blessing!

Su Shi nodded heavily when he heard this. Teacher, don't worry. I will definitely work even harder than before!

That's good …

But Teacher, can I … Su Shi's voice suddenly became very low, Can I...

Seeing how he was hesitating, the teacher said, Just say what you want to say.

When Su Shi heard this, he mustered his courage and said, Teacher, I have a request! That is … Can I go out for a while when I'm just 15 years old?

Other than asking for leave for the holidays, their academy was basically closed.

If he wanted to go out and get the approval of his teacher, that was a very important point.

If they were caught sneaking out without a warrant, they might be expelled from school.

It was not easy for his family to send him in to study. He did not want to drop out of school.

The teacher looked fixedly at Su Shi for a while. Seeing that Su Shi's eyes were focused on him, he nodded and said, Yes, yes. But you can't copy books at night. It would be too much for your eyes.

How did you know …

Su Shi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He had never told anyone else that he was going out to copy books for a bookstore!

Furthermore, he would only go to that shop to hand in his documents when he returned home. Logically speaking, no one should know …

I knew it the first time you went back!

The teacher smiled meaningfully and said, This is also a good thing. On one hand, you can read more books and learn more. On the other hand, you can earn some money.

Although he had copied down a copy, this brat could only get fifty gold coins.

However, the fifty coins was not a small sum for someone like him.

This was how he earned most of the paper, ink, and paper he had used over the years.

If he wasn't afraid of the family's suspicions, this brat wouldn't have asked the family for money to buy these things.

Thinking of this, the teacher smiled again. Go on! Since you're back, you should study properly and not let your thoughts run wild …

Yes, student understands!

Watching the teacher leave with his hands behind his back, Su Shi couldn't figure out how the teacher knew he was copying his books outside.

CHAPTER 205 - BETTER HEALTH

With their daughter and their master by their side, the Su Gui couple's illness will soon be cured.

The injuries on Su's Mother's body were not very serious. After the depression in her heart had all disappeared, her spirits were greatly improved.

In less than two days, he would be able to go for a stroll.

She looked at Liu Qingshan's kitchen and gave a thumbs up to her young master, "This is really amazing. When you, Second Uncle, did this, you even invited people to help you!

Now that you can do it all by yourself, it's not bad at all! Furthermore, the kitchen that you've made, seems to be even better than the one Second Uncle has made! "

The temporary kitchen built by Second Uncle originally could still be used, but it was still a bit shaky.

This one looks quite sturdy, but it should be pretty good!

After getting praised by his mother-in-law, Liu Qingshan was very happy, Mother! You are praising me too much!

What I said was not a lie. This is all true! Su's Mother laughed. I'm a lot more nimble today, so the kitchen is ready for use now! I'll make you guys something nice to eat!

Mother, you're just in time. Why don't we rest? Liu Qingshan didn't want her to cook, It's enough for me and Yun to be here. Talk to Dad. We'll be here soon!

But Su's Mother had already made up her mind! She was going to cook and entertain her young master!

She let the two of them go to the back of the garden to plow the grass while she went out to buy meat!

Seeing that she was in such good spirits, the people from Su Family Village were all happy for her.

daughter is not the same as Young Master when she came back. Look at her, Fourth Sister Su Family is almost fully recovered!

Isn't that so … You're still happy? Good, good. If you're happy, then no matter how bitter your days are, you can still pass it!"

Aiyo, I didn't say I hadn't noticed it! Are you all well? "

Su's Mother saw that everyone was happy for her, so she smiled and said, "You are pretty well, but you can also walk! daughter and Young Master have been back for a few days, and I haven't cooked a meal for them.

It's rare for me to be able to walk around today, so I plan to buy some delicious food to cook for them. "

This is for you! When the village tofu seller heard her words, he immediately gave her a piece of tofu, Su Shi's mother, take it back and cook for the children! I don't want your money!"

Upon hearing that she doesn't want money, Su's Mother shook her head repeatedly, No, that won't do! How can this not require money!?

These days, it is not easy for every household. For the two of you to make tofu, getting up early in the morning and getting greedy for the dark is more difficult than going down to the ground.

Hearing that, the tofu seller laughed, No matter how hard you work, this tofu is not worth much! Besides, if it wasn't for your family's Su Shi teaching our two little brats how to read, I'm afraid they wouldn't even know how to write their own names!"

In this day and age, not to mention an Elementary Scholar, even those who could read a few words would be looked up to by others!

However, their family was poor, and they also had elderly people who were sick in their beds. It was impossible for them to provide their children with books!

Now that Su Shi was willing to teach them, it wasn't proper for them to not thank him.

Seeing that they were insistent, Su's Mother decided to accept it.

What she didn't know was that her son had taught the kid in her family, so it could
