It was late at night, and both my aunt and I were in too much pain to fall asleep.

My aunt's illness couldn't be delayed, but I had searched every possible place in the house where money could be hidden, yet I didn't find a single coin.

Grandpa was really good at hiding money.

I even suspected that in my past life, I learned the skill of transferring assets from my dad.

Calculating the days, Grandpa would be back soon.

With this in mind, I put on a coat and sat up, saying, "Let's try our luck in the deep mountains."

Tonight happened to be a full moon, casting a pale moonlight on the narrow mountain path, shrouding the surroundings in a quiet veil.

My aunt's palms were sweaty as she tightly held my hand.

"When you grow up, what do you want to do?" I broke the silence and casually asked.

"Marry a man like the village chief and eat salted duck eggs every day," she replied.

I couldn't help but laugh.

How many years has the village chief been an old actor for salted duck eggs?

An empty shell filled with salt was placed on the table, and the villagers all thought he had salted duck eggs to eat every day.

"Mom, don't laugh. The village chief still hasn't married, and all the good food is saved for his future wife."

I picked up a stick to use as a cane and continued, "Do you know why?"

"The village chief is a good person..."

"The village chief's wife can read, and most of their family's assets are earned by the village chief's wife. So, instead of marrying a good man, it's better to have your own skills."

My aunt had never heard such words before and followed me in a daze.

After a while, she suddenly said, "Mom, I haven't figured it out yet..."

"No rush, take your time to think." After a pause, I added, "As long as it's what you want to do, Mom supports you."

As the sky brightened, we entered a remote deep mountain area.

My aunt was familiar with the situation in the mountains and soon gathered a pile of wild fruits and mushrooms.

On the way back, we even found a nest of newly furred baby rabbits, a total of five.

"Mom, let's raise the rabbits. They breed quickly and don't need much food. Our family can also live a good life!"

My aunt's joy infected me, and after two to three months, as the rabbits grew, she had a way to pay for her treatment.
