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

After exchanging her silver coins and copper coins at the money exchange, Liu Siyue returned to the Yun residence.

When Ningxiang saw her mistress return, she quickly handed her the land deed for the estate. "Mistress, this is the land deed for the estate. It covers a total of 200 mu and cost 1500 taels. There are also two hills around it, which cost an additional 500 taels to buy. Now that land belongs to you, mistress."

"Okay, take me to see it another day when I come back."

"April, you're here. It's been so long since we've seen Yao'er. How big has she grown? Bring her to the county town for us to see when you have time."

"The little guy is growing very well. I'll bring him over for you to see during the Chinese New Year."

Chenxin, how's the stuffed animals coming along?

"Everything is fine. We'll stop work on the fifteenth of next month. Manager Jiang specifically came to say that."

Starting tomorrow, the plush toys will be available for sale.

"Okay, if I can't make it on the last day of work, you'd better treat everyone well."

After working so hard for so long, it's time to take a good rest. Time flies so fast; the New Year is almost here.

"Master, are we going back to the village today?"

"Yes, I need to go back. I'll leave right away."

Liu Siyue stayed in the house for a while before returning to the village.

On the way, she asked Qingwu, "Qingwu, have you noticed that my second uncle seems a bit unhappy lately?"

"Master, you've noticed it too? Do you know why?"

"I roughly know that my second uncle felt that he was a useless man who spent all his time surrounded by women and did nothing. He felt that he had lost his dignity as a man."

My second uncle had said before that he wanted to buy land when he had money. We're going to the land brokerage in town later to see if there are any farms for sale nearby.

"Yes, Master."

When the two arrived at the town's real estate brokerage, they found that there were indeed several estates for sale. The broker took out a map of the town and roughly told them the locations of the estates. He said that there was an 80-mu estate in the direction of Liujia Village, and Liu Siyue decided to go and take a look.

The other places are a bit further away, but they are large in area, so I'll visit them when I have time.

Liu Siyue followed the broker to the farm. There were houses and a water source. She took a quick look and thought it was quite good. The terrain was flat, which was conducive to farming and irrigation was also convenient.

She started negotiating the price with the broker, saying, "800 taels is too much. If you can sell it for 600 taels, we can get the land deed done right now."

"I really can't sell it for 600 taels. To be honest, the owner's lowest price is 780 taels, no bargaining."

If this price is unacceptable, you can look at other properties.

Seeing that the price was so firm, Liu Siyue decided to continue negotiating. "Here's what we'll do," she said, "I'll offer 700 taels. You go and negotiate with the owner. If you can negotiate a lower price than 700 taels, the extra silver is yours."

I'll come to the brokerage firm to see you tomorrow.

"Okay, it's a deal."

After visiting the estate, Liu Siyue and Qingwu returned to the village.

After Wang Yalan left, Su Yimin thought it over for two days and finally figured out the path he wanted to take in the future. He didn't want to live a cowardly life anymore.

Therefore, he made an important decision: to pledge allegiance to the eldest prince. The prefect was one of the eldest prince's men, and he wanted to offer his pledge of loyalty to the eldest prince.

He sent his servant to the academy to call his son, Su Nanxing, back. "Father."

"Xing'er, your mother has left with your sister, do you know that?"

"My son knows."

So what are your thoughts?

"Father, I know you've had a tough time these past few years, and I understand how you feel."

My mother didn't understand my father's dignity as a man, but I could.

The father wanted to achieve something great, but he was constantly hampered and suppressed, leaving him with nowhere to vent his pent-up frustration.

He had to put on a smiling face for his mother when he got home, and he also had to endure the suppression from his superiors and the indifference from his colleagues when he was outside. The son saw his father's pain.

When his mother wanted to leave, the son neither tried to stop her nor left with her, because he knew who he was.

My surname is Su, and I am my father's son. I want to stand with my father and bring glory to my Su family.

No matter how good my maternal grandparents' home is, it's not my home.

Su Yimin hadn't expected that only his son understood him in this family. He hugged his son tightly, "Thank you, Xing'er. With you, your father is content!"

"Xing'er, study hard, and your father will pave a bright future for you."

"Go back to the academy! Father still has official business to attend to."

The next day, Su Yimin took the blueprints for the curved plow and the finished curved plow to the prefectural city to meet the prefect.

"This humble official greets Your Excellency the Prefect."

"What brings Lord Su here to see me privately when he is not at the county office handling official business?"

"Your Excellency, since I entered officialdom, I have always been concerned about the people. In order to alleviate the people's suffering from farming and improve production efficiency, after several years of dedicated research, I have finally created a lightweight and durable curved plow that saves time and effort and more than doubles production efficiency."

Your Highness, I would like to present the design drawings of the curved plow and wish you a glorious ascension to the throne.

If this plow is promoted, His Highness will surely gain the support of all officials and the love of all people.

His Highness the Crown Prince is virtuous and talented, deeply loved by the people, and truly a wise ruler. This humble official is willing to follow His Highness to the death.

"Very well, as long as what you say is true, His Highness is kind-hearted and will certainly not let down those who have served him."

Su Yimin presented the blueprints for the curved plow. The prefect, who was not very knowledgeable about farm implements, did not understand the blueprints and frowned.

Su Yimin knew what was going on when he saw the prefect frowning. He was prepared. "Your Excellency, I have already made a finished product. You can find the agricultural official to verify it yourself."

Do you know the difference between the plows used today and the curved plows?

"Okay, let's go experiment now."

"My lord, please do not rush. I have another matter to report, which I believe will be of great help to the Crown Prince."

Prefect Cai glanced at Su Yimin, and thought to himself that he had no idea this man was so capable.

"Speak, I'm listening."

"My wife is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. The Crown Prince can use this as leverage to bring the Minister of Revenue into his camp."

"Su Yimin, don't try to deceive me. Do you know what the consequences will be for saying these words?"

Although I have been serving in Dongping Prefecture, I am well aware of the affairs of the capital. The Minister of Revenue has three daughters; two are married in the capital, and one died young. Whom did you marry?

"My lord, I know you won't believe me when I say this. Back then, the Minister of Revenue's third daughter, Wang Yalan, wanted to marry me. However, the Minister disagreed, but Wang Yalan insisted on marrying him. In a fit of anger, her father announced Wang Yalan's death to the public."

Wang Yalan followed me to a post outside the capital, and we've kept in touch intermittently through letters over the years. If you don't believe me, this is a letter from my father-in-law from a few days ago.

When Prefect Cai took the letter and read it, he laughed heartily, "Su Yimin, you have done a great job. With my curved plow and this letter, His Highness will surely be even more powerful."

"I will recommend you to His Highness; you can expect a promotion and wealth in the future."

"Su Yimin, thank you for your patronage, sir. I will serve Your Highness wholeheartedly."

"Su Yimin, now that you have pledged allegiance to His Highness, which means you are one of my men, go back and work well with the County Magistrate to find the items that Guo Changfeng lost as soon as possible."

"Rest assured, my lord, I will work together with Magistrate Fang to find those items."

Since Guo Changfeng's house was burglarized, I have never relaxed my checks on vehicles leaving the city, but I have not found any suspicious people or vehicles. It seems those people are hiding very well.

"Yes, you did a good job. His Highness needs money and supplies to start his rebellion, and the lost items are no small amount."

"Let's go see this curved plow; it's not as amazing as you say."

The agricultural official personally guided the plow, and the oxen walked quickly and steadily, seemingly without any effort. Moreover, the curved plow could adjust the depth of plowing, making it extremely useful.

The current plows can plow a maximum of three acres of land per day, but the key issue is that they are very heavy, making it tiring for both the person and the ox.
