Chapter 98: 98 custom wooden boxes

Seeing the coins Ye Jiu took out, Ye Gaolin finally believed what Ye Jiu had said.

After all, if it wasn’t agreed by the adults, a child wouldn’t possibly have that much money.

“Alright, tell me what kind you need. If you only need a few, consider it a gift from Brother Gaolin, and I won’t charge you,” said Ye Gaolin.

Ye Jiu first described the style of the box. She didn’t put much thought into designing it herself but rather roughly described a soap box she had seen in her past life, which had a hollow bottom that allowed one to see the soap inside. This design could control the drainage of water and prevent the soap from being damaged by soaking during use.

“Do you know how many of these boxes Brother Gaolin can make in one day?” Ye Jiu asked.

“This box is simple and not troublesome to make. How many do you need?” Ye Gaolin countered.

“I need fifty for now. This fifty coins are just the deposit. Brother Gaolin, can you make them in two days?” Ye Jiu said.

“I can make them. We’re all villagers here, and I can’t overcharge you. You go back and tell your dad that if you provide your own wood, I’ll make each box for two coins; if no wood is provided, then it will be three coins,” Ye Gaoshan said.

The mountain was full of wood, which really wasn’t worth much. However, freshly cut wood always needed some work before it could be used.

Ye Jiu didn’t hesitate a bit. “We’ll use your wood, Brother Gaolin. Three coins each, but I need them urgently, so you’ll have to hurry,” she said.

“Alright, they’ll be ready by tomorrow evening at the latest. I’ll bring them to you,” Ye Gaolin said.

“If you don’t have time, you can let my fourth brother come pick them up,” Ye Jiu said as she got up. “Thanks, Brother Gaolin, I’ll head back now.”

Ye Gaolin gave up fixing the bench to start preparing the wood. With the New Year approaching, this was an unexpected income. Moreover, from the young girl’s plans, it seemed there could be more work in the future.

That would be really great, as it would provide some income for the family and allow them to ease up a bit.

The weather was good today. The warm sun shone overhead, and by the time Ye Jiu was heading home, the snow had started to melt, causing her pair of cotton shoes to get thoroughly wet. Her feet were also shivering from cold, which distressed Mrs. He greatly.

Mrs. He hurriedly prepared hot water for Ye Jiu to warm her feet. This special treatment, coupled with the scenario of Ye Gaosheng’s return last time, significantly outshone him.

It wasn’t until Mrs. He firmly made Ye Jiu stay on the heated brick bed that she finally settled down.

At this point, Mrs. He didn’t know that Ye Jiu had spent money on ordering the wooden boxes.

Ye Jiu lay on the bed, and outside, Ye Gaosheng and a few others were hammering stone slabs. As she lay there, she grew bored.

Ye Jiu took out her quilt and pretended to sleep, but her consciousness had already traveled to the Plane Space.

La Sike, who had promised to give items to Ye Jiu yesterday, had delivered them–four or five dozen daggers. Ye Jiu hadn’t requested electric guns, but La Sike had also sent two.

Moreover, just yesterday Ye Jiu had given all the fruit to La Sike, and today Zha had sent over a lot of things from his side.

The majority were watermelons, with black skins or striped skins, big and small. The large ones were as big as winter melons, and the small ones were only the size of a head, with quite a variety of types.

Since she had promised to give Zha daggers, Ye Jiu immediately took two and sent them over.

Zha quickly received them and also sent a video call request.

As Ye Jiu answered, she saw on her screen Zha holding a bright red fox, its neck bloodstained with its eyes tightly closed, presumably dead. Its fur was smooth yet glossy, clearly top quality.
