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

"We've built so many houses, so please make the furniture for my house as soon as possible."

"If we cooperate, I'll provide the blueprints, you provide the technology, and I won't concern myself with anything else. I'll take 40% of the profits, and you'll take 60%."

"No, no, that 40% is too much. We still have to rent the venue, and there are labor costs, etc. We won't make any money at all."

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Let us discuss it and we'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"it is good."

When Liu Dawang and his daughter arrived at the clan chief's house, it was already late at night, and all the doors were closed.

Ruxue stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Grandpa Clan Chief, Uncle Fusheng, it's me, Ruxue. My father needs to speak with you."

Everyone had just gone to bed, but they weren't asleep at all. They had nothing to do, so they didn't bother to light the lamps or waste oil. They just took off their clothes and went to bed.

Liu Fusheng heard someone knocking on the door, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was Ruxue and Dawang who needed to speak with them.

He immediately dressed and got out of bed, but the clan chief was already at the door and opened it for him. "Da Wang, it's so late. If you have something to do, come in and sit down."

Liu Dawang and Ruxue arrived in the courtyard. "Clan leader, it's too late, we won't go in. It's the same as talking here."

In April, she said she needed to make some food and asked if you were willing to pick some. She said she would buy 3 catties for 1 coin, and she would take as many as you picked.

"Dawang, if the girl wants to eat, we'll help her pick the fruit. These red berries are just unclaimed things on the mountain. They're sour, so no one wanted them. They all fell to the ground and rotted that year. Why would we give them money?"

"I'll help pick the fruit, but I can't accept money. Let them pick it tomorrow."

"Grandpa Chief, if you don't accept the money, you know how bad April is. She won't take the fruit you picked."

In April, she said she would take as many as they picked, but the bad and rotten ones were not acceptable.

Liu Dawang quickly chimed in, "Yes, clan chief, it's settled then. The fruit we picked can stay at your house first. My house isn't ready yet, but I'll come and move it in a few days when it's done."

We're leaving. We'll close the door.

"Take your time on your way back," the chief instructed.

"Fusheng, wake everyone in the family and bring them to my room."

The knocking by Liu Dawang and his group had already alerted the neighbors, who were already eavesdropping at the door. All they heard was, "We want as much as you can get."

Tomorrow they need to keep an eye on the clan chief's family and see what they're up to!

The clan elder had already lit the lamps, the clan chief was sitting in a chair, and the children and grandchildren were all standing. "The girl asked our family to help pick the red fruit, which is to help our family. She is repaying the kindness of Feng Shi and Da Wang."

You all need to work hard and not bring back any bad or rotten fruit. The girl is paying 1 coin for 3 catties, so what you bring back must be worthy of the money and the girl's trust in us.

Don't think this job is indispensable to you. Everyone in the village is scrambling to do this lucrative business.

"Father, Grandfather, we understand. We will never let you down."

"Alright, you can all go back to sleep now."

They couldn't sleep at all, they were all thinking about making money. There were 6 people in their family who could go up the mountain to pick fruit. Even if each person picked 50 catties each time, and made two trips a day, each person could pick 100 catties a day, which means each person could earn 33 coins a day. Wouldn't their family be able to earn about 200 coins a day? Oh my goodness, this money is too easy to make.

Everyone else had left, but Liu Fusheng remained. "Boss, is there something else?"

"Father, should we tell my second brother's family about this?"

"Now that you've separated your families, you're two separate households. Mind your own business."

The next day, just as dawn broke, Liu Fusheng took his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter up the mountain.

As soon as they stepped out, their neighbors followed.

They were so focused on getting on their way that they didn't notice the two people behind them. It wasn't until they reached the red fruit forest that the sun came out.

"What are they doing in this hawthorn grove? Are they going to pick the hawthorns?"

"Who cares what they do? We'll just do whatever they do."

"Yes, my wife is so smart." The two whispered among themselves, and sure enough, they saw them picking red berries.

The two men stepped forward to greet them, "Brother Fusheng, sister-in-law, what a coincidence! You've come to pick hawthorns too."

Liu Fusheng and his wife simply nodded and continued working. "Why did you have to come so late? Did you overhear your conversation in the yard last night?"

"So what if you heard that? This grove of red berries doesn't belong to us. Hurry up and pick them."

Not long after, Liu Youtian's family also arrived. Seeing how lively the red fruit orchard was today, Liu Youtian guessed that Yue must have told him that Fusheng's family was coming.

After exchanging greetings, they started working, and in less than an hour, their baskets were full of fruit.

After everyone sat down to rest for a while, they started to descend the mountain, and the couple followed behind.

"Brother Fusheng, why did Dazhuang and his wife come along? They're such big mouths, the whole village will probably know by the afternoon. This orchard is probably doomed."

"They probably overheard Da Wang and the others talking about this yesterday. That couple is incredibly cunning."

"Okay, come quickly after you finish eating, don't let the villagers ruin this forest."

Just as Liu Youtian said, when the couple arrived in the village, they told everyone they met. When the villagers heard that Liu Youtian and the clan chief's family had gone to pick the fruit, they were alarmed and called their families to carry baskets and go up the mountain.

When Liu Youtian and Liu Fusheng's families arrived, the entire red fruit forest was packed with people; it seemed that everyone who could come from the village had arrived.

Liu Fusheng felt heartbroken watching this. He thought, this wasn't picking fruit at all; it was clearly wasting things. Some people even cut off branches and sat on the ground to pick the fruit.

This forest doesn't belong to him, so he can't say anything. If he dares to speak, someone will immediately criticize him until he has nothing to say.

"Honey, stop looking, it won't help. Just pick them already, it's such a waste!"

When they came down the mountain, the entire red fruit forest was in a mess. The fruit on the ground was trampled and crushed, and the fruit on the trees was scattered and unpicked.

Liu Fusheng and his family returned home in a huff. The clan chief, seeing them like this, asked, "Why are you all so angry? What happened?"

The clan chief sighed. That's how the villagers are; they can't stand seeing others do well. "Go to the girl's place tomorrow morning and tell her what's going on."

Just after Liu Siyue and the others finished their breakfast, the four carpenters arrived.

Liu Siyue was chatting with Ruxue when Ruxue saw that she had something to do and was about to leave. Liu Siyue called out to her, "Ruxue, don't go, stay and listen with me."

Ru Xue pointed to herself, "I don't know anything, what's there to listen to?"

"It's precisely because you don't know how that you're learning. You're learning from others. Don't you want to do business? How will you learn if you don't?" Ru Xue stood next to her excitedly.

"Madam Liu, we've discussed it, and we'll split the profits 30/70, 70 for us and 30 for you. You don't need to worry about anything else. As for opening the shop, do you have any suggestions, Madam Liu?"

"Furniture is easy for others to imitate, so it's most important to stock up in advance to make money first."

Therefore, there needs to be a sufficient number of craftsmen. They can find a spacious place in town to work, start by making two designs, and then continuously introduce new designs to attract more customers to place orders.

I can give you 10 drawings first. You can gradually release them and turn them into a catalog for customers to choose from.

Ideally, you should have someone in the county town to help with promotion; you can offer them some benefits.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, I'm sure that wealthy families would all want to replace their furniture with such nice designs.

Take the most practical item, the wardrobe, for example. Clothes hung inside stay wrinkle-free, and choosing clothes is a breeze—it's so much better than the old trunks and drawers.

The carpenters' eyes gleamed. "Miss Liu, we will make the furniture you requested as soon as possible. Just as you said, we plan to make the wardrobe and the rotating dining table first."

"Yes, a rotating dining table is the most convenient to use in a restaurant."

"Now that everything is agreed upon, can we sign the contract?"

"Sign, we must sign, sign now!" the four masters replied in unison.
