Bab 47: Chapter 46: Difficulty on the Way Home

Shen Chengyao returned to the street to find that his original spot was now occupied by an old man selling puppies. He did not know where Mrs. Liu and the children had gone, so he decided to go to Tongde Hall to sell his herbs first, then come back to find them.

The batch of herbs he had this time was less than last time, but because they had been dried and processed, he managed to sell them for a total of 1,116 coins. When he took up short-term work during the agricultural off-season in the past, he would exhaust himself just to earn between 300 to 500 coins per month. Indeed, knowledge is wealth - the more you know, the easier it is to make money. Manual labour is often the least valued.

That's how Shen Chengyao thought, and he was more resolute in his decision to educate his children, to have them learn to read. He felt that he was beginning to understand why his father insisted on having at least one child who excelled academically.
