Chapter 9. Annoying
When her parents were discussing, she unintentionally overheard that Xiaosi would turn seven after the New Year, which was also the time to start school. The reason her parents couldn't make up their mind was ultimately because of money.
Since she became Jin'er in the Hua family to live for the little girl, she couldn't just ignore it after hearing about it. If she didn't try to figure out a way to get some silver, she would feel she was letting the little girl down, letting down the family's love for her.
After thinking it over and over, she decided to set her mind on the mountain behind their village. After all, the mountain's resources were somewhat abundant, and maybe with some luck, she could come across something valuable.
Moreover, with her current small body, other money-earning methods weren't realistic.
Shang Qing Mountain was not far from Hua Village, just through a forest behind the village.
It was a continuous mountain range, so long that it was impossible to see the end with the naked eye. Anyway, all you could see were mountains, with many towering cloud-like pine trees.
In what little memory Hua Jin had, her grandfather and father also had limited knowledge of Shang Qing Mountain.
However, the deep mountains were very dangerous; everyone only dared to find some game near Hua Village. Even if they went up the mountain, the farthest they reached was halfway up; going further up was too risky.
It's said there are fierce beasts in the deep mountains, like tigers, black bears, and the wolves villagers fear most. In desperate hunger, they might come down the mountain.
Of course, danger comes with relative opportunities. As long as one is brave and capable, making silver from the mountains is not too difficult.
But... Hua Jin looked at her little body... and sighed.
