Qi Ercai chuckled and said, "There are many people in the family, with more children and the elderly. We have to keep the place warm. Also, we just registered our household, and we didn't have much money to begin with. Now we're even poorer. So I thought of gathering more firewood to sell for some extra money to help out at home."
The soldiers nodded, "That's understandable. Alright, the gate is closing soon, you better hurry back!"
With that, they waved their hands, signaling for the Qi Family's five horse carriages to pass.
Qi Ercai thanked them repeatedly, and only followed after the last carriage entered the city.
From behind, he could still hear the soldiers discussing among themselves, saying things like how it's impossible to be poor if you have horse carriages or how selling a carriage could fetch some silver.
Qi Ercai just listened casually, paying no mind to their words.
Were the family's carriages just any ordinary carriages?
