Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Ugh."

Lin Huilan, feeling disliked by the two siblings, clutched her chest and said with a pained expression, "It's my fault for not giving you the status of a legitimate daughter, which has dragged you down."

After saying that, Lin Huilan took a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, looking pitiful.

"Young lady, what's the point of all this?"

Jin Yanzhi frowned. He had seen through Lin Huilan's crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide. He said meaningfully, "If you have such thoughts, you might as well keep an eye on Jin Xue'er. Be careful she doesn't get snatched away by the men in the village."

"Young lady, you should also keep an eye on your brother. He didn't marry a country bumpkin."

Jin Xue'er glared at him fiercely and immediately retorted!

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huilan immediately said, "Yanzhi, your future wife can't be a country woman!"

"With my record of sins, who would marry me?"

Jin Yanzhi couldn't help but roll his eyes, looking at Jin Xue'er: "You should still worry about Jin Xue'er."

"Who would want you? Do you think they'd marry you as their legal wife?"

In stark contrast to her attitude towards Jin Yanzhi, Lin Huilan even looked at Jin Xue'er with curiosity and said, "My Xue'er is so beautiful, she's definitely going to be the main wife."

"Mother, aren't you worried that I'll marry a peasant?"

Jin Xue'er's mind was in turmoil.

"As long as she's a legal wife, wealthy, and doesn't mind your criminal past, why can't I marry her?"

Lin Huilan looked at her and said, "Xue'er, we don't know when we can return to the capital. You've already come of age, and you're in the prime of your life. We can't let that go to waste."

"But there's no rush to marry a peasant. Now that the family business is slowly picking up, we need to choose the best one!"

Lin Huilan said earnestly, "She must be the legal wife!"

She was a concubine back then, and all these years, her children have only been born out of wedlock. Her children must become the legal wife.

"Of course, I would never be a concubine."

Jin Xueer spoke earnestly to Lin Huilan.

Jin Yanzhi: "..."

Are those two crazy? They actually want to get married?!

……

"Qiqi, did Sister Gui, who came to buy sauerkraut wholesale today, bully you?"

Marquis Zhongyong only learned about the wholesale sauerkraut that someone had come to buy it after dinner.

"No, that's not true. Selling pickled vegetables in the county would definitely harm other people's interests."

Cheng Qiqi knew perfectly well what was going on and said, "I've already reached an agreement with Sister-in-law Gui. She's going to the provincial capital to sell pickled vegetables, so it won't affect us."

"Although the Jin family has been exiled, Chongshan and the others are still here." Marquis Zhongyong said to her, his daughter-in-law is good in every way, but when something happens, she takes the blame herself and doesn't think of using the Jin family.

"Father, the favor the young master once showed us will eventually run out. It's just a matter of giving up the profits from selling pickled vegetables in the provincial capital. After that, we can sell pickled vegetables in the county safely. I think it's a good deal."

Cheng Qiqi's eyes shone with unwavering determination.

Marquis Zhongyong fell silent; his daughter-in-law was even more outstanding than he had imagined.

night.

"Master, we've mistreated Qiqi in the past. Mo'er has good taste, marrying such a wonderful wife. It's a pity..."

Liu Suyi opened her eyes and looked at the dark roof, her voice choked with emotion.

Just as Marquis Zhongyong was about to offer some words of comfort, Liu Suying's voice rang out again: "My lord, from now on, Qiqi will be my own daughter. If she wishes to marry in the future, I will prepare a generous dowry for her, and I guarantee that no one will be able to marry her..."

They bullied Qiqi.

"Su Yi".

Marquis Zhongyong interrupted her, sitting up abruptly and looking in Liu Suyi's direction. Even though he couldn't see anything clearly, he said, "Mo'er's body is not cold yet, shouldn't we at least observe three years of mourning?"

Three years later, how could my son be brought back to life openly and legitimately?

"Ugh."

Liu Suyi sighed deeply: "It's just that Qiqi has suffered."

At such a beautiful age.

The next day, the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn.

When Cheng Qiqi got up, Jin Lizhi and Jin Yanzhi had already cooked the porridge and were keeping it warm in the pot.

Gao Shenglan and Jin Qing have already started cutting sauerkraut and making sauerkraut buns.

"Did I oversleep today?"

Cheng Qiqi yawned and looked up at the sun, which hadn't even risen yet.

"Sister-in-law, we can't sleep."

Gao Shenglan's belly had begun to swell slightly. She couldn't go to work, but she was already very content to earn some money by making sauerkraut.

Therefore, I got up early to start working.

Jin Qing, on the other hand, really didn't want to do the rice-pounding and flour-grinding work anymore; she preferred washing mustard greens!

The three of them sat together making sauerkraut buns. As they sold more each day, they had to make these buns for half the morning. Jin Lizhi and Jin Yanzhi would take the porridge and sauerkraut buns and push the cart to the county, just in time to catch up with the dockworkers who were carrying goods and rest and have breakfast.

"Qiqi, Jin Yanzhi and Jin Xueer had a fight yesterday."

On the way to the sugar shop, Madam Wen muttered softly, "The two siblings were arguing so fiercely!"

"Yeah?"

Cheng Qiqi asked curiously.

"I don't know, it's far away."

Wen shook his head.

Cheng Qiqi didn't press further, only saying, "It's normal for siblings to bicker."

She thought to herself thoughtfully: Jin Yanzhi has changed a lot. He's become obsessed with money. It's impossible for them to argue about money.

Want some new clothes?

Cheng Qiqi's mind wandered, thinking about the clothes she and her daughter had collected in her space. If they had a different outfit every day, they could have a different one every day for a whole year!

The sugar mill is finished, and we're going to start making sugar today!

After the juicing process changed from grinding to pressing, the juice yield increased.

Today, we're going to try out a three-pot stove.

Having learned from her previous experience, Cheng Qiqi wasn't flustered at all when she saw the three pots connected to the stove. She earnestly explained to her master how to utilize the three pots connected to the stove.

After a busy half-day, the first batch of sugar was ready. From extracting the juice to boiling the sugar and finally pouring it into the mold, the Leng family was already incredibly excited even though the sugar hadn't solidified yet!

This method of boiling sugar leaves only the aroma of sugar, without any burnt taste.

Moreover, the sugar cubes look very uniform, indicating that they are of high quality!

Looking forward to the finished product!

Cheng Qiqi asked, "Leng Yu, did you throw away all your sugarcane residue?"

"Keep it for burning."

Leng Jiao spoke up, explaining that he and his two brothers were in charge of the sugarcane juice, Leng Yu was in charge of boiling the sugar, and he was in charge of the rest of the work.

"Then why are they all piled up like this?"

Cheng Qiqi asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to let it dry before burning it?"

"Pile it up there, and it'll dry in a few days."

Leng Jiao replied that sugarcane residue was also useful; it should be piled up in order, and the driest pile should be burned.

"Then you can spread them out to dry. After drying for three or four days, the fire will burn brighter. It's much more convenient than piling them up wet like this."

Cheng Qiqi looked at the corner where sugarcane residue was stored and asked, "Is there a lot of sugarcane residue for firewood?"

"Yes, we mix sugarcane residue with firewood and burn it together. If there's any left over, we throw it into the sugarcane field so that the sugarcane will grow even better next year."

Leng Jiao replied with a proud expression, "We don't waste a single bit of our sugarcane residue."

"Have you ever thought about using sugarcane residue to make vinegar?"

As soon as Cheng Qiqi finished speaking, Leng Jiao's proud expression froze instantly. He stared at her incredulously, as if to say, "You can even make vinegar?"
