Following Si Ya's idea, with the five taels and two coins of silver in hand, she thought to buy up grains and seasoning so even if they couldn't earn money in the next half a year, they wouldn't go hungry. Remembering waking up hungry in the night and always hearing the rumbling sounds of hungry stomachs, her idea became even more resolute, "Mother, why don't we buy half a year's worth of food! That way, at least for the next half a year, we'll have something to eat!" She definitely did not want to experience famine again. Moreover, once they stocked up on grains at home, her eldest sister wouldn't be able to squander money so easily, since she wouldn't be able to sell the grains they bought.
Pei Qin gave her a sideways glance, "There are still two months before the end of the year. If we set up a stall, we could cover the food for the upcoming whole year!"
