Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm

Chapter 1517: Chapter 1516 Wearing Sin to Accomplish Merit_1

“Uh… Auntie truly does not trust me,” Bei Yun said with a look of helplessness.

“Then you must strive to gain her trust. You heard what Qiao Xiaomai said just now, didn’t you? She won’t deal with wandering ghosts, but if you reform and make a new start, she can sell you food at a fair price,” Yang Wenxiao said.

“Please instruct me, Great Ancestor,” Bei Yun replied immediately upon hearing this.

“How about this? From now on, when you treat the rich, charge them less–five hundred taels per visit is enough. You can ask them to donate some clothes and food to the Charity Hall. Qiao Xiaomai will keep track of this good deed, and from now on you’ll buy Floral Dew at five thousand taels per jar, with the price halved. How does that sound?”

The Charity Hall finally opened for business, and he sent the Imperial Guards to escort Zhuang Luhe as she went door to door around the Capital and its vicinity to check on the poor. The Capital is already surveyed, and there are indeed not a few poor people. To help these people, we need clothes and food.

But where would these clothes and food come from?

With Zhuang Luhe’s appeal, she surely won’t attract donations from the rich, especially since the previous great debate at the Imperial Court was because of Zhuang Luhe.

Qiao Xiaomai is busy making Floral Dew, Bei Lingsu is busy teaching, Yang Ye is occupied supervising the canal outside, and Yang Hao is occupied assisting Emperor Yong’an with government affairs, while also tutoring Yang Zheng on the side.

So to say, we’re short-handed; we truly don’t have enough people.

Everyone has already been assigned duties; I really cannot find any more people for the task.

Now, an opportunity has arisen with Bei Yun, who treats the rich and is highly trusted by them. Just perfect.

This task will be given to Bei Yun.

After hearing Yang Wenxiao’s words, Bei Yun was stunned for a moment and instinctively looked towards Bei Lingsu.

Bei Lingsu, aware of the Charity Hall matter and hearing this, immediately answered for Bei Yun, “Great Ancestor, rest assured, he’ll take care of it.”

Qiao Xiaomai also nodded, “Bei Yun, as long as you get those rich people to donate clothes and food, you can purchase Floral Dew at half price.”

“If you do this task well, then I can sell you my skill.”

With these words from Qiao Xiaomai, Bei Yun no longer cared what the Charity Hall was all about and nodded right away, “Leave it to me, no problem, I’ll certainly complete the task exceeding expectations.”

“But don’t push people too hard, they respect you for your medical skills, so don’t be too excessive,” Bei Lingsu, hearing this, hurriedly interjected with caution.

“Okay, Auntie, you just watch from the side. I’ll do as you say,” Bei Yun nodded in agreement.

“Then you may go back now,” seeing that the matter was settled, Yang Wenxiao waved them off.

With this announcement, Qiao Xiaomai and Bei Lingsu both felt elated inside.

Yang Wenxiao didn’t ask a single word about longevity, not one word! He didn’t even steer the conversation towards that topic, which meant that he either distrusted Bei Yun or was temporarily not interested in immortality, right?

Regardless of which it was, as long as Yang Wenxiao didn’t ask, it was a good thing.

Qiao Xiaomai and Bei Lingsu immediately exited the great hall respectfully.

Once the three of them had left, Yang Wenxiao’s gaze fell on the shadow puppet show in the center of the great hall. After a while, he sighed and picked up the Journey to the West manuscript that Qiao Xiaomai had brought.

Qiao Xiaomai’s version of Journey to the West was from the television; she hadn’t read the original text. She wasn’t sure how the original was described. Not knowing it, the boy Sanlang decided to add his own touches according to the characteristics of this era, but the overall framework remained unchanged.

Such a classic work, as long as the main structure is there, even if the details differ, the classic remains a classic. Its charm is undeniable, even in another world.

Yang Wenxiao became engrossed as soon as he started reading.
