Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 114 Can I earn seven taels a day?
Li Ruru glanced at Chen Sanbao, a thin dog with a pointed snout and monkey-like face, as if no one cared about him.

Even if she were to find a man, he would have to be tall and handsome, or at least rich.

What does Chen Sanbao have? No money, no good looks, a mama's boy, and a domestic abuser.

Only a blind person would fall for him.

Li Ruru glanced at Zhang Junniang with pity. Well, she wasn't blind, was she?

She pulled a money pouch from her pocket, waved it in front of the two men, and said smugly, "Men are nothing compared to money. I'm rich, do you?"

Zhang Junniang and Chen Sanbao's eyes lit up when they saw the money bag in her hand, and they stared at it intently.

Li Ruru was afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to see clearly through the bag, so she specially took out a few silver ingots from it.

He even bit it with his teeth, saying, "Ouch, it's really hard on my teeth."

He shook his head again, "Oh dear, I forgot, you don't have this at home."

They would never know that the feeling of crunching is a great pleasure.

It is the confidence and happiness that money brings.

Zhang Junniang stared intently at the silver in her hand. The money bag that Li Ruru had taken out was more than five taels, and it was heavy with a lot of money inside.

She was seething with hatred; why could that bitch Li Ruru earn so much money?

Why should a divorced woman be allowed to live in a big house?
Her life with Chen Sanbao has become increasingly miserable, even worse than before.

Zhang Junniang looked at Li Ruru, whom she had once trampled underfoot, now standing there radiantly, looking at her with disdain.

Chen Sanbao also noticed that Li Ruru was different; she seemed... seemed to have become more beautiful.

His face, which was originally dark and wrinkled, has now become much fairer.

Once the yellowish tinge is removed, a person looks much more attractive and elegant. Paired with nice clothes, it's as if they've become a completely different person.

"Oh my, Aru is here." Pan Dayan's door opened, and she ran out like lightning.

Upon seeing Li Ruru, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, I almost didn't recognize you in this outfit!"

Li Ruru would change into a new outfit every time she went out, and then change back into coarse linen clothes when she got home to work.

She was busy today and came over without having time to change her clothes.

"Your clothes are so beautiful, and the fabric feels so comfortable." Pan Dayan touched her clothes with a look of envy.

"Your hairpin is quite nice too." Pan Dayan was filled with nothing but envy.

Today, Li Ruru wore a light green dress, which was as fresh and tender as new leaves in spring. The dress was well-tailored and perfectly outlined her figure.

Her black hair was as smooth as ink clouds, and two silver hairpins gleamed on her exquisite updo.

The hairpin was carved with delicate patterns, shimmering with a cool silver light in the sunlight, which complemented her gentle face and added to her dignified and elegant air.

Li Ruru's attire was nothing special compared to the city's wealthy ladies.

But in this remote and impoverished village of Chenjia, it's quite remarkable.

She smiled, took a hairpin from her hair, and handed it to Pan Dayan.

"Aunt Pan, this is for you."

Pan Dayan quickly waved her hand, "That won't do."

Li Ruru explained, "Just keep it. You're going to be very busy today."

"Another big deal?" Pan Dayan's eyes lit up.

“Yes.” Li Ruru was about to say it when she noticed that Zhang Junniang and Chen Sanbao were still staring intently at them from the side.

She rolled her eyes and pulled Pan Dayan into the house.

Zhang Junniang's eyes practically popped out of her head; it was a silver hairpin!

That idiot Li Ruru just gave it to Pan Dayan like that!

It would be so nice to give it to her, but then she thought that Chen Sanbao hadn't given her anything since she married into the family.

Before we got married, I would send her small gifts every now and then to make her happy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junniang punched Chen Sanbao hard: "Useless thing."

Chen Sanbao was bewildered by the beating, still immersed in the enormous changes in Li Ruru, especially how beautiful she had become.

After Wang Tieniu and the other two entered the house, they immediately ran over and closed the door.

"Aru, how big of a deal is it?" Pan Dayan rubbed her hands together, already impatient.

The bigger Li Ruru's business grows, the more money she earns.

"We need a total of 76 barrels tomorrow."

"What? You mean 'snatched'? You mean 'snatched'? 76 barrels!" Pan Dayan exclaimed in surprise, and all the birds in the sycamore tree flew away in fright.

The chickens, ducks, and geese in the yard were also frightened and kept quacking and squawking.

Tie Zhu, Tie Niu, and their two nephews were also stunned.

Wang Tieniu counted on his fingers, silently calculating how much money they could make. Li Ruru nodded with a smile: "So we need to collect a large batch of konjac today, grinding it won't be easy."

Pan Dayan, recovering from her shock, asked, "Does that mean we'll have to have this much every day from now on?"

Li Ruru thought for a moment and said, "It should be. I just don't know how many konjacs we can harvest?"

Pan Dayan stomped her foot and almost jumped up. She pointed at her two sons and said, "Go quickly, go quickly, bring everything out."

Tie Niu and Tie Zhu, along with their two nephews, ran excitedly to the backyard, and soon the group carried over a huge bamboo frame.

Li Ruru took a closer look and, wow, it was full of konjac.

She asked in surprise, "When did you collect so much?"

Pan Dayan laughed and said, "We didn't collect them; we dug them ourselves."

She also harvested a lot of konjac from the village, and her family would go up the mountain to dig it when they had free time.

I've accumulated quite a bit over the past few days.

Li Ruru breathed a sigh of relief; this was enough for tomorrow.

She said, "Aunt Pan, the days ahead may be even harder. How about this, I'll entrust the work of harvesting and grinding konjac to you."

Also, I won't settle accounts with you every day. I'll give you 10% of my monthly profits, how about that?

Pan Dayan hadn't figured out the numbers and didn't know whether she was earning more or less than before.

She asked, "How much do you earn in a day? How much...can I earn in a day?"

Li Ruru whispered, "You'll probably get a little over 7 taels."

"You mean a small amount? More than 7 taels! If I can earn 7 taels a month, wouldn't I be rich?"

Pan Dayan jumped three feet high, so excited she didn't know what to do.

Tie Niu, Tie Zhu, and their two nephews were almost crying with joy. Seven taels of silver! That's a lot of money!
Li Ruru scratched her head; Aunt Pan's comprehension skills were truly worrying.

She explained, "Aunt Pan, seven taels is not a month's income."

"Huh? How long is that?" Pan Dayan's smile froze on her face. Then she thought that earning 7 taels in two or three months was not bad.

Li Ruru exclaimed happily, "That's for one day! You can earn more than seven taels a day!"

"Huh? One day! I can earn seven taels a day?" Pan Dayan asked in disbelief.

"To be precise, it's seven taels and six mace," Li Ruru corrected again.

She also paid Pan Dayan for the bucket she gave to Aunt Pang.

After all, it was a favor she had done herself, and she couldn't let Aunt Pan's family work for nothing.

Pan Dayan felt her head buzzing and her whole body burning up.

She grabbed her two sons by the collar and shook them violently. "Is Mother dreaming? Our family can earn seven taels and six qian a day?"

Tie Niu and Tie Zhu were also on the verge of losing control, but their mother's shove brought them back to their senses.

"Mom, Aunt Li wouldn't lie to you."

"We should just follow Aunt Li's lead."

Tie Niu and Tie Zhu immediately thought about their marriage. Their family could earn more than 7 taels a day, and now it would cost about 10 taels for a bride price, plus another 5 taels for entertaining guests, so it would only cost 15 taels in total.

Wouldn't they be able to get married in just a couple of days?

The two of them became excited at the thought.

Pan Dayan ran over and hugged her two nephews, kissing them repeatedly, smearing their faces with saliva.

The two men didn't mind at all and looked at her with smiles.

My aunt makes money, and they make money too. It's great.

Just then, Old Wang pushed open the door and came in, carrying a broken stool.

Upon seeing Li Ruru in the yard, he turned around and prepared to go inside.

But Pan Dayan called out to him, "Old man, where have you been? Were you out bragging to Old Chen next door again?"

Old Chen is Chen Bingxiao; the two old men have always had a good relationship.

Old Wang gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject, saying, "You guys talk, don't worry about me."

Pan Dayan rolled her eyes and complained to Li Ruru, "My old man is out of his mind. He even told me to stay away from you, saying you would affect my family's luck."

The so-called "luck" was nothing more than Old Man Wang's fear that if his wife stayed with Li Ruru for too long, she would also follow her example and make a fuss about getting a divorce.

Besides, he had a good relationship with Old Man Chen, so naturally he would side with him.

Li Ruru looked at Old Man Wang: "Oh? Is that so? Uncle Wang, you're a grown man, yet you still love to gossip."

Old Wang said with a dark face, "Get out of here. We Wang family members won't help you with any more work. As for that konjac, you can get it yourself."
