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

Qingwu looked at the coarse cloth that Zaohua was pointing to. She said she wanted to make clothes for her family. Qingwu knew that Zaohua was frugal and that it wasn't easy for her to raise a child alone. "Sister Zaohua, don't buy this coarse cloth."

"Ah Fu, don't you have some flawed fabric in your storeroom? Pick out two bolts suitable for men's clothing and two bolts suitable for women's clothing."

"Okay, I'll go get it for you right away."

A moment later, Afu came out carrying four bolts of cloth. "Take a look and see if these colors are okay?"

"These two are suitable for men, this one is suitable for older women, and this one is suitable for younger women."

"Sister Zaohua, what do you think of this fabric?"

Zao Hua touched it with her hands, admiring it, and asked, "Is this cotton fabric very expensive?"

"Don't worry, madam. Qingwu and I are old acquaintances. I will definitely not charge you a high price. Although these fabrics have some flaws and cannot be sold, they are definitely good fabrics for making clothes if they are properly cut."

"Our shop's cotton cloth costs 500 cash a bolt, but I'll only charge you 200 cash for this cloth. Isn't that reasonable?"

Zao Hua's eyes lit up when she heard that. "You mean it?"

"Of course it's true. You can take the fabric and leave now after you pay. If there's any major problem with the fabric, you can have Sister Qingwu come to me."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it, I'll buy it." It would be foolish not to buy such cheap fabric.

When the village chief saw how cheap the cloth was, he was tempted and wanted to buy a few bolts for his family.

"Qingwu, can I buy a few bolts of silk too? The women and children in my family haven't had new clothes made in a long time."

Qingwu looked at Afu, "No problem, I have to give you face, how many do you want?"

"I need three horses suitable for men to wear: one for me and my two sons, one for my daughter-in-law and one for my grandson, for a total of six."

"Okay, you guys wait here, I'll go get the cloth."

"Zaohua, I don't have enough money on me. Could you lend me one tael of silver? I'll pay you back when we get back to the village."

"Okay, I'll pay it all at once in a bit, that'll be exactly two taels of silver."

Afu brought the cloth, Zaohua paid the money, and Qingwu and the village chief carried the cloth. They didn't want to shop anymore, so they headed towards the city gate.

"Qingwu, we really got a great deal thanks to you today."

"This isn't because of me, it's because of my young lady. My reputation comes entirely from my young lady."

"You also deserve credit."

The village chief thought to himself that April had a good eye; the servant she chose was not only loyal but also always put his master first.

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart directly to Changshun Brokerage and found the broker, Song Laosan.

"Isn't this Madam Liu? It's been a long time! Please come in! Please come in!" Old Song was extremely enthusiastic, serving tea and snacks.

"Madam Liu, are you here at the brokerage to buy a house, or perhaps someone else?"

"Buy a cook with good cooking skills, someone who can serve tea and water when guests come, someone who looks clever, and a housewife who does laundry and chores, but not too old."

"Any other requirements?"

"That's all."

Oh, by the way, I have a question for you. Are there any farmhouses for sale near Sifang Town, preferably close to Liujia Village?

"Since the government started levying taxes, quite a few people have indeed sold their estates and lands, but I don't have any near Sifang Town."

We only have shops near the county seat. If you want to buy one near Sifang Town, you'll have to go to the brokerage shops in the town.

Buying farmland is still a relatively good deal at this time.

"What villages are near the county seat? Tell me about them."

Are there any shops for sale in town recently? I need one in a good location.

When Song Laosan heard that a big deal was coming, he was very happy. "Madam Liu, please wait a moment. I'll go get the registration book."

"Madam Liu, look, there are five estates here. This one is 50 mu, this one is 120 mu, this one is 210 mu..." Old Song explained the situation and approximate location of these estates to her in detail.

"We're old acquaintances, no matter how well I describe it, it's not as good as you seeing it for yourself."

If you have time, but it's too late today, I'll take you to see it tomorrow.

"I don't have time to visit Zhuangzi, but I'll have someone else do it. You just need to coordinate with her, and don't try to fool anyone."

"Don't worry, Madam Liu, I'm counting on you for a living."

"Bring everyone over here, I'll pick some."

Song Laosan provides exceptional service to generous and high-quality clients like Liu Siyue, "He picked out more than a dozen people for her and brought them over."

"Madam Liu, as per your request, I have selected these."

"Madam Liu has a maidservant here, would you like her? She's a bit older, though."

"Oh, how big is it?"

"28".

"Bring it over here so I can take a look."

Liu Siyue quickly selected three people. Song Laosan brought out a woman. Liu Siyue took a look and saw that although the woman was extremely thin, her bone structure was beautiful.

"What's your name? Do you know kung fu? Can you show me a few moves?"

The woman stepped forward and said, "This servant is Ling Wushuang." She performed a set of punches, her movements light and graceful, her attacks as swift as lightning.

"Song Laosan, is there anything wrong with her background?"

"She came from the capital a while ago. I heard she's the sister of some general. Her family and husband's family committed a crime. All the men, regardless of age, were beheaded. Some of the women were sent to the brothel, and some were demoted to slaves."

"Don't worry, Madam. This is a government office; anyone leaving through here will be perfectly safe."

"Okay, I'll take it."

After calculating the amount, Song Laosan said, "Madam Liu, these four people will cost a total of 71 taels. The cook will cost 10 taels, but I'll still charge you 8 taels. The maid will cost 8 taels, but I'll charge you 6 taels. The old woman will cost 2 taels, and the maid will cost 55 taels."

After settling the bill and taking their indentures, Liu Siyue led the four women out of the brokerage.

"Get on the oxcart, I'll take you to buy clothes."

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart to the cloth shop. "Afu, give me some cloth to make clothes for them."

"Madam Liu, are these the servants you bought?"

"yes!"

"Are you buying fabric from the store, or from their surplus stock?"

"Buy two bolts of stock fabric per person, and two sets of ready-made garments per person."

Liu Siyue bought the cloth and clothes and took them to the Yun residence.

"Ningxiang, I want to buy a manor near the county town. Go to Changshun Real Estate Brokerage and find Song Laosan. He will take you to see it. Here are 3000 taels of silver notes. Take them."

"Madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it properly."

"Since I've entrusted this task to you, it means I trust you. You should also trust your own judgment. No matter which one you ultimately decide to buy, I won't blame you. The main thing is to make things convenient for us."

"Yes, I will certainly live up to your trust and do a good job."

"Is everything alright at home?"

"Everything is fine, Madam, please rest assured."

"Alright, I'll head back to the village now. Tell Chenxin that if she's free, she can take her out for a stroll."

"Yes, madam."

Ningxiang escorted the person to the door and saw four people standing there. "Madam, who are these four people?"

"They are my newly purchased servants, and I'm taking them back to the village."

The four people thought they were going to stay there, but they weren't.

Upon reaching the city gate, Qingwu greeted her, "Miss, you're back."

"Well, our oxcart might not be big enough; we'll have to hire a horse-drawn carriage."

"Okay, I'll go hire a car."

"I'll go."

"Brother Niu, it's been a long time. I'd like to hire your carriage to go back to the village."

Oh~

"It's Sister Liu! Long time no see! You've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

"no problem."

"You four, take your things and get on that carriage."

"Uncle Village Chief, Sister Zaohua, you get in the car too, let's go back."
