Following Shen Hao, Song Zhenyu arrived in the courtyard. He set down his back basket, opened the hemp sack, and took out the wild chickens and rabbits,
The ropes bound around their feet limited their range of movement, but this did not stop them from being highly active.
Their glossy and sleek fur made it clear at first glance that they were of superior quality,
The difference between them and the three wild rabbits and two wild chicken’s in the courtyard was like night and day.
“Shen Hao looked at Song Zhenyu and asked, “You mentioned that you had been raising them for a while, right?
Song Zhenyu nodded.
Shen Hao glanced at Song Zhenyu and sincerely praised him, “You truly have a knack for raising wild animals. It’s uncommon to see them thrive under care as they often deteriorate. Your animals are truly exceptional, though there are quite a lot of them. Wait here for a moment; I need to check something in the front yard before returning to settle this with you.”
Had there been only a few, Shen Hao would have decided to purchase them all himself. However, due to the large quantity, he was uncertain and thought it best to seek advice
With a smile, Song Zhenyu nodded. “All right, I’ll wait Here then.”
Shen Hao entered the kitchen and washed his hands, then he picked up a rabbit and headed to the front yard.
Song Zhenyu simply waited quietly at the same spot.
Soon after, Shen Hao returned with the rabbit in hand, smile lighting up his face. Even before he got close, he called out, “Xiao Chen, Xiao Jun, come and help weigh this.”
Then, he said to Song Zhenyu, “Congratulations! The family has spoken; they want all of these. If you get more in the future, send them our way. Unless something unexpected happens, the Shen family will take them all.”
Song Zhenyu beamed with pleasure. “Sure.”
Selling everything instantly saved him the hassle of finging other buyers. This allowed him to go home earlier after his shopping, much to his delight.
He assisted with the weighing. Together, the thirteen wild rabbits weighed thirty–five kilograms, the eight wild chickens weighed fifteen and a half kilograms, and the six turtledoves weighed one and a half kilograms.
With a smile, Shen Hao suggested, “Let’s keep the price the same as last time. I’ll calculate the cost of these
think?” turtledoves at that same rate. What do you
Song Zhenyu nodded. “All right, no problem.”

“The wild rabbits weighed thirty–five kilograms, the wild chickens fifteen and a half kilograms, and the turtledoves one and a half kilograms, totaling fifty–two kilograms. At twenty–five coins per half a kilogram, the total comes exactly to two thousand and one hundred coins.”
After Shen Hao finished his calculations, he began to count the money.
Upon receiving the money, Song Zhenyu smiled somewhat sheepishly. It was a substantial amount, enough to buy plenty of grain and fabric. His family wouldn’t have to endure hunger or the cold anymore.
With a smile, he said, “Mr. Hao, I’ll be heading home now. My family is waiting for me.”
Shen Hao glanced at Song Zhenyu and nodded, “All right, I have things to take care of too.”
He then grabbed his knife, caught a wild rabbit, and began cutting it. Suddenly, he turned to Song Zhenyu and said. “Please forgive me. You can find your way out of the mansion, can’t you? I’m afraid I don’t have the time to walk you out.”
Shen Hao.meticulously collected the wild rabbit’s blood with steady, precise technique. Not a single drop missed the bowl, showcasing his impressive control.
Surprised, Song Zhenyu nodded slightly. “Yes, don’t worry about me.”
With that, he turned around and left the mansion on his own.
Carrying a heavy purse of coins, he paused for a moment before taking out twenty coins. When he reached the back door, he handed them to the servant and said, “You’ve been working hard, young man. This is for you. I hope it’s enough”
Twenty coins wasn’t a lot, but it wasn’t little either, especially considering that Song Zhenyu wasn’t exactly wealthy.
The servant immediately put on a smile, respectfully seeing Song Zhenyu off, wishing him good luck as he left.
Song Zhenyu smiled as he bid farewell to the servant. Naturally, he aimed to win the servant’s favor, ensuring smoother future visits.
Though the servant guarding the back door didn’t seem significant, he proved to be immensely useful.
Song Zhenyu’s generosity had surely earned the servant’s favor. Watching him walk away, the servant thought. The next time this man visits, I’ll report his arrival party. Unlike other hunters, he remembered me even after his sale. A bit of money is better than none.
Song Zhenyu went to the rice and grain shop.
Half a kilogram of white rice cost sixteen coins, half a kilogram of corn on the cob cost eight coins, and half a kilogram of plain flour cost seventeen coins.
Song Zhenyu had a clear goal in mind. With a gentle smile, he asked, “Boss, I want to buy fifty kilograms of grain and some vegetable seeds. Can you give me a discount?”
The shopkeeper replied, “I can only reduce the price by one coin per half a kilogram. It’s up to you whether you want it or not.”

Song Zhenyu nodded. “I’ll take it. I need twenty–five kilograms of white rice, twenty–five kilograms of corn. on the cob, and two and a half kilograms of plain flour. As for vegetable seeds, one hundred grams should be enough.”
The shopkeeper chuckled, his fingers defily dancing over the abacus as he calculated. “Twenty–five kilograms of white rice at fifteen coins per half a kilogram comes to seven hundred and fifty coins. Twenty–five kilograms of corn on the cob at seven coins per half a kilogram is three hundred and fifty coins. Two and a half kilograms of plain flour at sixteen coins per half a kilogram is eighty coins. And I’ll charge you five coins for a hundred grams of vegetable seeds. That totals to one thousand one hundred and eighty–five coins. Sir, why don’t you do the math yourself and see if it’s correct?”
Song Zhenyu calculated silently in his mind. The shopkeeper didn’t rush him, allowing him the time he
needed.
“Yes, it’s correct”
After saying that, Song Zhenyu paid the bill.
The shopkeeper started to fill up his grain sacks. In no time, three large sacks were filled to the brim and placed into Song Zhenyu’s back basket.
A hundred grams of vegetable seeds were also included
Song Zhenyu had only eight hundred and ninety–five coins left on him. He hoisted his back basket onto his back, planning to buy some candy before heading home.
With so much grain to carry, the shopkeeper kindly helped him up, then cheerfully bade him goodbye.
Song Zhenyu spent another ten coins to buy a few small pieces of candy before he finally pocketed the remaining money and headed home.
When he returned to the village this time, it was midday. At this hour, most people were at home.
As they greeted him enthusiastically, Song Zhenyu understood their true intentions. They were merely curious about where he had obtained the money to purchase the grain.
Song Zhenyu smiled and chose not to respond. Observing his reluctance, the inquirer wisely decided not to ask any more questions.
As he walked past the Song residence, a look of extreme discomfort washed over Wei Zhilan’s face. “Where did you get this money from? Did you steal it from our home?”
Wei Zhilan looked at Song Zhenyu’s back basket, her eyes filled with resenunent.
A chill ran through Song Zhenyu’s heart. “When I was moving, weren’t you watching me closely? Did I have any chance to steal money from home?”
Song Zhenyu didn’t want to engage in any more conversation with Wei Zhilan. He simply walked past the house that once brought him sorrow and headed forward. This was no longer his home. His home was now at the very end of the village.
Feeling bitter at Song Zhenyu’s indifference, Wei Zhila cursed, “You heartless b*stard! You’d rather spend your money elsewhere than support your own family. All these years of nurturing you have been in vain. It is unfair for someone as ungrateful as you to live!”

Wei Zhilan’s venomous curses did nothing to stop Song Zhenyu. He quickly vanished from her sigh leaving her to continue her furious tirade for quite some time. Regardless of how much the cursed, it had no impact on him.
