The incident with the wintersweet made the family, who had returned home happily, feel much more heavy-hearted.

But this matter didn't have much to do with them, and everyone went about their business the next day.

Zheng Xiaoman distributed the gifts she had bought in the city, giving each person a hairpin, a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of earrings.

She first went to the backyard to find Sister Xiaoduo and said, "Second sister, I bought you some jewelry. Take a look and see if you like it."

Zheng Xiaoman handed the handkerchief wrapped with jewelry to Zheng Xiaoduo.

Zheng Xiaoduo quickly wiped her wet hands and took the handkerchief with surprise.

"Oh, my aunt just gave me two new dresses yesterday, how come there are also jewelry?"

Zheng Xiaoman said with a smile: "I just bought some jewelry for all of us sisters, even Xiaochunya."

Zheng Xiaoduo smiled and opened the handkerchief in her hand, and saw several pieces of jewelry inside.

"Oh, why so much? This must be a lot of money, right? I can't take this."

She looked at the evil jewelry with some surprise. The patterns on it were very beautiful, and the price was obviously not cheap.

Zheng Xiaoman pushed the handkerchief back and said, "Hey sister, didn't I tell you that all of us sisters have it? And it's not worth much, so just take it."

Zheng Xiaoduo didn't believe it. "Don't lie to me. These pieces of jewelry must be worth at least six or seven taels of silver. Although I don't go out much, don't I know how to value the silver?"

"Hey, sister, look at you. Just keep it if I give it to you. Why are you more nagging than my mother?"

Zheng Xiaoduo nodded her head with amusement, "You naughty girl, I feel bad for you spending money recklessly, but you think I'm nagging."

Zheng Xiaoman tilted his head to avoid her hand, "Anyway, I've already given the things away, and if you take them you can't give them to me again. Oh, I still have to go find Sister Xiaoyu, I'm leaving first, hahahaha"

After saying that, Zheng Xiaoman didn't wait for her to speak and ran out holding up her skirt.

Zheng Xiaoduo smiled helplessly as she watched her cousin disappear in an instant, then lowered her head to look at the jewelry in the handkerchief.

Forget it, even if she returns it to that girl, she won't accept it. When she gets married, she will give her more dowry.

Zheng Xiaoduo came out of her house and walked towards the village with the portion for Sister Xiaoyu.

At this time, Sister Xiaoyu should be either at home or at the fish pond.

Zheng Xiaoduo went to her house first and happened to meet Mao Gen who was about to go out.

"Brother-in-law, is my sister at home?"

"Oh, it's Xiaoman. Your sister is in the room, please go in."

"Brother-in-law, are you going to the fish pond?"

Mao Gen smiled innocently and said, "Hey, I'm going to go to the fish pond."

"Okay, go ahead, I'm going to find my sister."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't say anything else and walked into the house.

Zheng Xiaoyu was cleaning the house. When she heard footsteps, she thought it was her man coming back.

She didn't turn around and asked directly: "Weren't you going to the fish pond? Why are you back? Did you forget something?"

Zheng Xiaoman chuckled when she heard it, "Sister, it's me."

Zheng Xiaoyu recognized Zheng Xiaoman's voice. She put down the feather duster in her hand and said with a smile, "I thought it was your brother-in-law who came back. Come and sit down."

Zheng Xiaoman walked over and sat on the edge of the kang, swinging his legs.

Zheng Xiaoyu looked at her with a smile, "Did you come back from the capital yesterday?"

Zheng Xiaoman nodded, "Yeah, I didn't get home until the sun went down yesterday."

"How is it? Is the city fun?" Zheng Xiaoduo poured a glass of water and placed it next to her.

"It's fun, but it's too far. It's too tiring to sit in a carriage for a whole day."

Zheng Xiaoman frowned. It was too difficult to go out at this time.

Zheng Xiaoyu smiled when she saw her childish expression, "Why don't you rest at home today instead of coming to my place?"

Zheng Xiaoman quickly took out a purse from her bosom and said, "I bought some gifts for everyone in the city. This one is for you, big sister."

"Yeah, you brought me a gift."

No one would be unhappy to receive a gift. Zheng Xiaoyu happily took the purse from her younger sister.

She pinched the things in her purse and said, "What's here? It feels like there's quite a lot."

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

Zheng Xiaoyu untied her purse and poured the contents onto the table on the kang next to her.

Several things fell out of her purse with a clatter, and Zheng Xiaoyu opened her mouth in surprise.

"Oh, little sister, you told me this is a small gift?"

She pointed at the several pieces of jewelry on the table and said in surprise.

Zheng Xiaoman nodded with a smile, "Yes, you are not the only one who has these. I also brought some for my aunt and sister Xiaoduo."

Zheng Xiaoyu also calmed down, she jokingly said: "Then the elder sisters are really benefiting from my little sister, I have never bought jewelry for myself even though I have grown up.

The hairpin on my head was given to me by my second aunt when I got married."

Zheng Xiaoman said with a smile: "I'm glad you like it, when your sweet potatoes are sold, you will have plenty of money to buy yourself jewelry.

We will wear it in different styles every day for a month."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Zheng Xiaoyu was amused by her. "If someone sees this, they will say I have too much money to burn. But Xiaoman, can the sweet potatoes really be sold for that much money?"

This year, her family planted a total of four acres of sweet potatoes. They used good land to plant them and harvested more than 8,000 kilograms in total.

Their family left about ten acres of seeds, and the rest were taken away by Zheng Xiaoman to sell.

No one knows how much money Zheng Xiaoman and her family earned from sweet potatoes last year, except for her family of six and her grandparents.

Zheng Xiaoyu and her friends only knew that their second uncle's family made money from selling sweet potatoes, but they never dared to think about the amount exceeding ten thousand taels.

Zheng Xiaoman nodded. "Although the price this year will definitely not be as high as last year, it should be no problem to earn 1,800 taels."

Zheng Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide, "What? Those sweet potatoes can be sold for over 1,800 taels of silver? Oh my God, won't I be rich?"

Zheng Xiaoman nodded affirmatively, "Yes, sister, the money from the sale will only be more than this, not less. You can think about what you are going to do with the money now."

Zheng Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time, "This is not selling food, this is simply selling gold."

Zheng Xiaoman said: "But this is only the last year that the price is high. My father said that after collecting the grain tax, he will tell the villagers about the sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are expensive now because they are rare, but when they become abundant, the price will naturally drop.”

Zheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's good enough like this. Even in my dreams, I would never dream that my family could earn thousands of taels of silver.

If I'm still not satisfied, then I'm really too greedy."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't expect Sister Xiaoyu to be so open-minded. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely regret not being able to earn more.

Zheng Xiaoyu smiled at her look and said, "I don't have any big ambitions. I am content as long as I can have enough food and clothing."

Zheng Xiaoman also laughed. This is what people say: be content with what you have.
