I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 223 First Settlement
As the third youngest in the family, she naturally doesn't need to be busy with anything. She only needs to look after the fifth and fourth treasures and prevent them from making trouble.

As it got dark, the village became lively. Soon the courtyard gate was pushed open and Zhang Chengyuan saw his grandparents coming back.

As soon as grandma came in, she started to get busy, fetching water from the well to wash her hands and face. Zhang Chengyuan turned around and ran to the kitchen to get out the earthenware jar that usually contained hot water. This was the hot water that Daya had boiled in advance, and it was no longer hot.

Naturally, her action was praised by her grandmother. She ran back happily to get the two water ladles and handed them to her grandmother. After being praised again, she sat back on her little stool and continued to look after her two younger brothers.

The adults, men and women, separated and began to drink water with a ladle each. After drinking the water, the men sat down to rest, but the women did not. They fetched water and went back to their rooms to wash and change clothes.

Zhang Chengyuan had been sitting for a while when Dayajie called him to eat. It was wild vegetable porridge again. They served the rice to everyone.

Zhang Chengyuan’s wild vegetable porridge was soon served out, and his two younger brothers each had half a bowl. Everyone ate while holding their bowls.

She didn't feel like eating, so she ate slowly, but the others ate quickly. It wasn't really a solid meal to begin with. Although they had three meals a day, they were all wild vegetable porridge, which was not enough to satisfy her hunger.

Zhang Chengyuan had only eaten half of it. Most people had finished and put down their bowls, but not his uncle.

When he went to put the bowl back, he saw that there was still a little bit left in the pot, enough to fill half a bowl, so he immediately shouted, "Who of you wants more? I'm not full yet. Don't eat while I'm eating."

Not long after he finished speaking, my uncle came out holding a bowl of rice and eating.

Zhang Chengyuan saw his grandmother glare at his uncle. The other adults didn't react, but Dabao and the others looked very annoyed.

Hearing the slurping sound beside her stop, she turned her head and saw that it was her own Wubao, whose little face was full of resentment for not having enough to eat.

Zhang Chengyuan touched him with his arm, motioning him to bring the bowl over. Wubao hesitated and shook his head to refuse.

Zhang Chengyuan touched his head, took his bowl and poured half of it for him before returning the bowl to him.

Just as she looked away and was about to continue drinking, a small arm and something as clean as a washed bowl appeared in her field of vision. She looked along the arm and saw that it was Sibao with a hopeful look on his face.

She wordlessly poured him half of the drink as well. This time, she drank it in four sips.

Putting down the bowl, she scooped water from the jar and took the basin to wash herself. Fortunately, the weather was hot, otherwise she would not dare to use cold water.

After cleaning up, I felt a lot more relaxed. I took the water out and poured it out, and then I saw Wubao also washing his face and feet.

Sisters Da Ya and Er Ya were not in the yard, but she heard the sound of washing dishes in the kitchen.

Brothers Dabao and Erbao were following their grandfather to weave baskets. Sisters Sanya, Siya, Wuya and Liuya were following their grandmother to alter clothes and make shoes. Sanbao was taking Sibao to play in the yard.

She sat next to her mother Li Chuying, lying on her legs in a daze, actually checking her afternoon harvest.

In the afternoon, she collected five kilograms of wild vegetables and twenty kilograms of mushrooms. The rest was firewood, and she collected sixty kilograms. In total, she received a reward of 259 coins. Together with what she received in the morning, the total was 381 coins.

I heard that my father and his colleagues went to the city to find work, and could earn at most thirty or forty cents a day, and it was not certain that they could find work every time.

Now she can earn at least 381 Wen a day, which is equivalent to half a month or even a month's salary for her father and others.

She was happy just thinking about it, but when she thought about the fact that she was still a little kid, she suddenly became unhappy. She couldn't explain why.

But money is something that is better than nothing. She continued to study the daily settlement system, trying to see if there was anything she hadn't noticed, but she kept looking at it, and it only had this one interface.

After giving up out of boredom, she decided to go back to her room and sleep, as it was already getting dark.

The bed she slept on was a heated kang, and she was not alone. All the girls in the family slept in this room, as did the boys.

The Miao family's house is not small. In addition to the kitchen, there are seven rooms. One room for the old couple, one room for each of the three couples, one room for the girl and one room for the boy. The remaining room is reserved for the married daughter, and they or relatives can live in it.

The room for boys is smaller than this one, but it doesn't seem crowded for the seven girls to live in, and they can sleep comfortably for now. But if more girls are born in the future, it may not be the same.

Zhang Chengyuan lay in his usual position against the wall, closed his eyes and thought about all sorts of things, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

After midnight, a buzzing sound in her head forced her to wake up. She realized that it was the daily settlement system that was causing trouble, so she started to check.

Then I saw the text updated:

[Today's settlement received 381 coins (pending)]

[5-fold increase in settlement on the first day]

[Today's settlement received 1905 coins (pending)]

Zhang Chengyuan looked at the button with the words "Waiting to be Received" glowing green, and chose to receive it without any hesitation. Almost instantly, he heard a jingle, and saw copper coins pouring into the top line of words:

【每日结算：钱1905文结算点1】（每日凌晨准时结算，每逢1、8、15、25、30日结算均可随机翻倍，翻倍最低2倍，最高10倍。）
Immediately afterwards, the words below this line of text began to fade and disappear.

Zhang Chengyuan wanted to figure out how to withdraw the money, but suddenly found that above the text, there was a calendar icon and a small house icon.

She first opened the calendar icon and saw rows of numbers on it. Now there was only one number written "1" with a red circle drawn on it and the words "five times" written underneath.

She switched to the small house icon again, and the screen flashed to a thatched shop, with all kinds of vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, meat and poultry. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the money deposit and withdrawal function, which ranked first.

She tried to withdraw a penny, but was reminded that she needed a settlement point. In order to test how much money could be withdrawn with one settlement point, Zhang Chengyuan withdrew all the money directly. In the end, only one settlement point was needed.

She boldly guessed that as long as it was withdrawn, no matter how much, it would be settled in settlement points.

Looking at the line of words on the homepage again, Zhang Chengyuan smiled with satisfaction. She was in a good mood and soon fell asleep and had a beautiful dream.

The next morning, she got up with her sisters and started a new busy day.

Today she went to pick up eggs and helped fetch water before she calmly waited for her sisters to cook.

Soon the adults also got up. Li Chuying looked at her little daughter who was sitting obediently by the wall, went over and picked her up, touched her messy hair and asked, "Why don't you let your sister comb your hair?"

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and stretched out his hands, letting her see the two eggs in her hands: "Mom, I picked up two eggs, can I eat one? I really want to eat eggs."

Li Chuying swallowed her saliva and said to her daughter, "Mother can't make the decision on this matter. Go ask your grandmother later. The hen laid two eggs today. I think your grandmother will agree that we can eat one."
