Liu Siyue found a secluded spot, went into her spatial dimension, and changed back into her original clothes. Feeling happy because she had taught her ex-husband a lesson, she bought a lot of things in town, so much so that her hands were too full to carry them all.

With her left hand she held pheasants and rabbits, and with her right hand she held live ducks and fish, along with a number of other small items.

She excitedly arrived at the town entrance, only to find her oxcart surrounded by people. Thinking something had happened, she quickened her pace.

She stood outside listening and watching, while her second uncle inside stroked the Bull Demon King's fur with his hands, and the Bull Demon King closed his eyes, looking quite content.

"Brother, which village are you from? Your big blue ox is really handsome; it's the only one of its kind in our town."

"I've never seen you soliciting customers before. You, a big blue ox pulling a horse-drawn carriage, are truly impressive."

Liu Dawang grinned, as if people praising her cows was as easy as praising her clothes.

"I'm from Liujia Village."

"From Liujia Village! Something big has happened in Liujia Village recently. Do you know Liu Dawang?"

He's really got guts, suing the villagers! Those people from Liujia Village are scoundrels, daring to rob you in broad daylight, sir! What's the difference between them and bandits?

"Who can argue with that? This Liu Family Village is the best in the surrounding area."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Hey, aren't you Liu Dawang? I think I saw you at the county government office the other day!"

Liu Dawang lowered his head in embarrassment, unsure of what to do.

Liu Siyue quickly called out "Second Uncle" from outside.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the clear voice. When they saw that the young woman was carrying a lot of things, they couldn't help but gasp. In this day and age, she could still eat fish and meat so much. It seemed that she was living a pretty good life!

Liu Dawang quickly took the things and said, "Let's go, get in the car and go home."

"Which family in Liujia Village are you from? Do you have any daughters you'd like to meet?"

Even after Liu Dawang and the others left, these people were still gossiping, "Look how well they live. We're struggling all day and can't even get a full meal. If only we could marry into a family like that, we could at least help our in-laws out."

"What are you dreaming about? People from wealthy families like that don't usually look up to them."

Didn't someone just say that man was Liu Dawang? I've forgotten about it now. I'll have to go to Liujia Village another day to ask around. Maybe we can really get married.

"I was there during the trial that day. Liu Dawang was a wealthy man. The villagers stole 130 taels of silver, but the county magistrate recovered it all."

Everyone perked up even more upon hearing this. How many lifetimes would it take a peasant family to accumulate over 100 taels of silver? Many people were now considering it.

The discussion shifted from Liu Dawang to grain prices; if grain prices continue to rise, people will really be starving.

On their way back, Liu Siyue noticed a worry on her second uncle's face. "Second Uncle, are you worried about the villagers?"

Liu Dawang sighed, "We sued the villagers, put some in jail, fined them, or punished them. They must have some grievances. Will the villagers feel that we went too far and become dissatisfied with us?"

"Second Uncle, don't worry so much. They were in the wrong to begin with. Besides, the case was decided by the magistrate. I believe that after this incident, the villagers will behave much better."

If someone is dissatisfied with us, or goesssips and ostracizes us, we can simply stop associating with them.

If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. Just live your life well.

"Our family has made a living, and anyone with a brain wouldn't go against us."

Liu Dawang drove his oxcart into the village. His fears did not come true. The villagers not only did not point at him, but also greeted him warmly, "Dawang is back."

Liu Dawang was somewhat overwhelmed by the villagers' enthusiasm. The villagers had never been so enthusiastic towards him before. In their eyes, he was a sonless man with no descendants, and they were lucky if they didn't make fun of him.

"April, do you think these people are possessed? Why are they being so enthusiastic towards us?"

"What else could it be? They want to take advantage of us."

Second Uncle, no matter when, as long as you make a living, you'll have confidence when you speak, you'll stand tall, and people will be more willing and eager to listen to what you say.

If you make a complete mess of your life, the villagers will be being lenient by not kicking you while you're down.

Thinking back on his past, Liu Dawang realized that what April had said was true: why were people so materialistic?

We finally arrived at our doorstep, where the house was still under construction.

Master Chang finally saw the master return. "The master is back!"

"Dawang, April, come back."

Liu Siyue quickly greeted them with a smile, "Master Chang, thanks to Uncle Tian, ​​you've worked very hard, and you're making great progress!"

"That's all we can do. We were delayed before, so everyone has been working overtime these past few days to try and catch up on the deadline."

"Master Chang, it's not your fault. Tell the foremen and workers that I will give them an extra 10 coins every day so they won't work for free."

"The Lord's family is kind; on behalf of everyone, I thank you!"

Master Chang found a high spot and shouted, "Did you all hear that? The master said that everyone is working hard to meet the deadline, so he will give everyone an extra 10 coins a day. Everyone must work hard and do a good job to live up to the master's 10 coins so that the master can move into the new house as soon as possible."

Everyone thanked Liu Siyue and Liu Dawang in unison, promising to do a good job.

"Master Chang, Uncle Tian, ​​look how much food I bought. Come to my house for dinner tonight. I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay." Master Chang readily agreed. The family was generous and open-minded, and she was willing to help with anything.

"Dad, cousin, you're back. Where are Mom and Third Sister?" the two little girls asked.

"Yes, we're back. Your mother and third sister are recuperating in the county town. They'll come back once they've recovered."

Have you two been helping your older cousin take good care of Yao'er?

"We've taken good care of Yao'er; we've even taught her how to roll over!"

"Our Moon and Stars are so amazing, there will be a reward from your sister later."

Liu Ruyun stood at the door, holding the child, and smiled at her. "Dad, April."

"Cousin, your injury has just healed, don't hold the child and affect your recovery."

She clapped her hands, took the child from Liu Ruyun's arms, and said, "Yao'er, come to your mother quickly. Did you miss your mother?"

The child was blowing bubbles and waving her hands around in the air. Whenever Liu Siyue teased her, she would smile sweetly.

The child's face was pressed against hers, drool smearing half of her face. She gently patted Yao'er's bottom, "Naughty, you're washing Mommy's face with your drool! Mommy is really enjoying this."

"Ru Xue, I've invited Master Chang and Uncle You Tian over for dinner tonight. Let's prepare a more elaborate meal."

"Okay, April."

"You all stay home and prepare, I'm going to the clan chief's house."

Liu Siyue carried the child and held a bag of snacks in her hand as she walked towards the clan chief's house.

When the clan chief saw her arrive, he assumed she had come to demand compensation.

"Grandpa Clan Chief."

"Girls, you're back. Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, Grandpa Clan Chief, her name is Liu Shuyao, you can just call her Yao'er."

"Yao'er is so beautiful, just like a doll in a New Year's painting. She's definitely a lucky child."

"Girl, the compensation money hasn't been collected yet. Wait two more days."

"I'm not here to ask for money. I came back from the county today and found that the price of coarse grains in the county has generally doubled, and the price of grains sold here has increased by one coin compared to the county."

The shop assistant at the grain store said that grain prices would continue to rise.

I just came to tell you that if you have money, buy more grain. Even if you can't finish it all, you can sell it later.

I'll go in and see my great-grandmother.
