Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Dawang let out a hearty burp; this was the best meal he had ever eaten in his life. He patted his stomach and smiled sheepishly at Liu Siyue.

"Second Uncle, we just had a big meal, let's take a stroll around the streets to digest our food."

"Okay, didn't you say you wanted to buy grain? Let's go to the grain store and take a look."

The two strolled along, looking around, and eventually arrived at the grain shop. When Liu Dawang asked about the price of the grain, he frowned; it was several coins more expensive than in town.

He pulled Liu Siyue aside and said, "Siyue, the grain in this county town is several coins more expensive than the grain in the town. Why don't we go to the town to buy it? We can buy more there."

"Second Uncle, don't worry. Didn't I tell you before that the imperial court might increase taxes?"

The price increase in grain might be related to this; let's ask the shop assistant.

"Hey buddy, excuse me, why has the price of grain suddenly gone up by several coins?"

The shopkeeper said mysteriously, "Just a friendly reminder: if you have any spare money, buy more grain and stock up, because grain will only get more expensive in the future."

Why is that?

"I'd rather not comment on that, but grain prices are the same everywhere now, they've all gone up."

"Okay, thanks for reminding us, we'll come here if we want to buy."

"Second Uncle, it seems the price of grain is indeed rising. I already reminded the clan chief last time."

"Second Uncle, once the house is built, we need to dig a cellar inside so we can store the grain we buy there for safety."

"Okay." Liu Dawang didn't know what else to say besides "okay." He just had a lot of strength to do the work.

The two visited several more grain shops, and the prices were all about the same.

Before they knew it, the two had strolled around until dinnertime. "Second Uncle, are you hungry? It's time for dinner now."

"My second uncle ate so much at lunch in April, and he's still full. Meat and vegetables are really filling. I don't need to eat anything tonight."

"Meat and vegetables are filling, so let's eat more meat from now on and keep our family healthy."

When they passed by the steamed bun stall, Liu Siyue bought four meat buns and two vegetable buns.

The vegetable buns were filled with tofu and cabbage. Liu Siyue ate both vegetable buns and a meat bun right away.

"Second Uncle, I'll save these three meat buns for you. You can eat them when you get hungry tonight."

As it was getting dark, the two returned to the inn. Liu Siyue went back to her room, closed the door, and entered her spatial dimension.

Seeing the mature rice and the Ganoderma lucidum growing in the space filled her with joy.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that several large houses had sprung up next to the original small wooden cabin. She went inside and found them completely empty, with nothing inside. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. What use were these empty houses?

With a thought, all the rice in the field disappeared. When she returned to the empty house, it was now piled high with rice.

Oh! So these empty rooms were for storing their food. I wonder if they'll have to plow the fields themselves this time for the rice harvest.

She tried planting rice with her mind, and to her surprise, she succeeded. The once barren rice paddy was now covered with lush green seedlings.

Liu Siyue jumped up excitedly. This was wonderful! It seemed that once she cultivated the land in this space, she wouldn't have to cultivate it again. Even just cultivating it once would be enough to keep her busy.

Now there are only these two plots of land, one dry land and one paddy field. He grows chili peppers on the dry land and rice on the paddy field, and he keeps planting them.

After finishing her work in the space, she took a nice, relaxing shower, lay down on the Simmons bed, and gradually fell asleep while listening to music.

She woke up not knowing what time it was, and when she picked up the alarm clock, it was past 2 a.m.

Liu Siyue was wide awake now. "I have to do something," he suddenly thought. If he were to promote this rice to the people to grow, with such a large yield, even just threshing would be a problem.

The current yield of rice per mu is no more than 250 jin, but the rice I grow now can yield 800 jin per mu. Even if the land outside is not as good as the land inside the space, it is still possible to get 500 or 600 jin.

I need to go back and try the composting method mentioned in the farming manual. At this time, the grain yield of farmers is low, partly due to seed problems and partly due to insufficient fertilizer.

As long as we solve the problems of seeds and fertilizer, the yield will definitely increase dramatically.

Liu Siyue turned on her computer and searched online for methods of making rice threshers. There are many types of threshers, and she chose one that was easy to make and more suitable for this era. The more advanced ones were beyond the manufacturing capabilities of this time.

She copied the blueprints and marked the precise dimensions of each part.

She then thought that the plows used by people in this era were all straight-shaft plows, which were both heavy and difficult to use. She remembered that when she was in the old Liu family house, the family's land was plowed by Liu Daniu and her second uncle. Every time they finished plowing, their shoulders would be swollen very high.

He then searched for the manufacturing method of the curved plow and carefully copied the drawings.

Upon checking the time again, it was 4 a.m., so I started studying the computer.

This computer can only access the internet and watch movies; it has no other functions. It can't chat, send emails, or contact the outside world.

Finally exhausted, she lay down on the bed and continued to sleep. When she woke up, it was already bright daylight. She quickly got up and left the space. When she opened the door, Liu Dawang was already standing at the door.

"April, you're awake. Shouldn't we go home?"

Liu Dawang couldn't stay at the inn any longer. He was worried about the money he was spending and he was also thinking about his family.

"Okay, let's go home now."

Liu Siyue first checked out of the house, and then went to the oxcart.

"Second Uncle, this is our oxcart. Look how majestic this ox is!"

Because he was busy with other things, Liu Dawang hadn't paid attention to the oxcart and the big blue ox.

"This bull certainly looks imposing, but it's not one to be trifled with."

"Second Uncle, don't let its fierce appearance fool you, it's actually very obedient."

I named it Bull Demon King.

"Bull Demon King, this is my second uncle. You mustn't bully him in the future."

The Bull Demon King mooed and nodded.

"Second Uncle, look, it understands. From now on, Second Uncle will be able to drive the carriage more easily."

"This ox is indeed quite intelligent. Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"

"I bought it in the county town, but not at the livestock market. I bought it outside the livestock market. Everyone said it was a wild ox and they didn't dare to buy it, but I felt a connection with this ox, so I bought it for 15 taels of silver."

"Yes, it was definitely worth the 15 taels of silver."

As the two passed a wonton stall, Liu Siyue stopped the oxcart. "Second Uncle, let's have breakfast first. We need to be full to have the energy to work."

Liu Dawang felt that his niece was spending too much money. He wanted to say that he should wait until he got back to eat, but he swallowed the words back. His niece meant well, and he couldn't keep doing this.

Liu Siyue ordered two large bowls of fresh meat wontons. She asked the owner to give her a small bowl and took a small portion out of her own bowl.

Liu Dawang finished eating in no time. Siyue pushed the small bowl in front of him and said, "Second Uncle, you can eat this small bowl too. This big bowl is too much for me to finish."

Liu Dawang didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the bowl to eat; the wontons were truly delicious.

After having breakfast, the two went to the grain shop. Liu Dawang suggested buying a small amount first and checking the prices in town. If the prices were cheaper in town, they would buy there; if they were cheaper in the county, they would buy there next time.

Liu Siyue completely agreed. Next time, she could come alone and just take it from her space, saving money.
