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

"Did Uncle Fusheng take over the accounting job?" Liu Siyue asked.

"Yes, I'll be in charge of the village's accounts from now on."

"Don't worry, April. I won't treat Brother Fusheng unfairly. He's in charge of the village accounts, so I can't let him work for free. I'll pay him his wages."

"Uncle Village Chief is right. That's how it should be. Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. If we don't separate public and private matters, there will be big problems in the future."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

"Then I will hand over these things in the village to you today."

Liu Siyue handed all the money to Liu Fusheng and explained to him what kind of money it was.

"This is the payment for 1200 taels of silver and 3 catties of charcoal. Young Master Wang has already settled the payment."

This 500 taels is a deposit for the next batch of charcoal. Please keep it safe.

"You all need to quickly settle the accounts today and tomorrow. Uncle Village Chief said he'll be distributing the silver to everyone the day after tomorrow."

"In April, could you please keep this much money with you for now? I'm a little worried about keeping it with me."

"Alright, I'll manage it for you this year. If you have extra money later, you can deposit it in a money exchange."

"Okay, thank you again."

After breakfast the next day, Liu Siyue and Qingwu went to town.

Halfway there, Liu Siyue took out a set of men's clothes from her spatial storage and changed into them in the oxcart.

Upon reaching the town entrance, Liu Siyue asked Qingwu to stop the car. "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

Liu Siyue jumped out of the car. "Master, why did you change your clothes? Why are you wearing men's clothing? Where did you get this men's clothing?"

"I bought it in the county town before, specifically to make it convenient to go out."

"Wasn't Master going to buy an estate today? Why is he dressed as a man?"

"Before buying the estate, I need to take care of something. I've been writing a storybook these past few days, and now that the whole book is finished, I want to sell it to a bookstore."

"Dressing as a man makes it easier to conduct business and less likely to attract unwanted attention."

"Master, are you out of money? Have you been staying up late every night writing stories these days?"

"I have some money, but not much, so I plan to sell my sketchbooks."

Qingwu's eyes were a little red. Her master had really had a hard time, having to support a whole family all by herself.

"Master, if you have any money-making business, let me help you. The livelihood of the whole family cannot rest on your shoulders alone."

"Master, hurry up and set up the instant noodle workshop. I'll help you sell instant noodles."

After hearing Qingwu's words, Liu Siyue felt both amused and touched.

"I still have enough money to buy a manor. I'm thinking of selling my sketchbooks; maybe I can buy a few more manors."

By the time the New Year arrives, the furniture makers will have received their share of the profits, and the doll makers will also have received their share. At that time, they will no longer be short of money.

After the New Year, I'll set up the convenience store and start doing business.

She has a lot of silver, but she can't use it right now. The newly arrived county magistrate is investigating Guo Changfeng's missing items, and it would be bad if she were to give herself away somewhere.

"Master, if we don't want to be recognized, we must hide our oxcart, otherwise it will be too conspicuous."

Liu Siyue thought about it and realized that Qingwu was absolutely right. The Bull Demon King was too unique; it would be difficult for him not to be recognized.

"I'll figure out a way to hide the oxcart in a bit."

Liu Siyue was thinking about how to get Qingwu away later. Then she had an idea. That's what she would do.

"Qingwu, go to the brokerage quickly and tell Sun the broker to take care of his business first. We'll go find him after lunch."

I'll find a place to hide the oxcart first, then we'll meet at the bookstore entrance.

After Qingwu left, Liu Siyue checked that no one was around and immediately put the oxcart into her spatial storage.

The Bull Demon King was overjoyed to enter the space, as this was his old home.

Liu Siyue entered the town carrying a bundle and went straight to the bookstore.

At the entrance of Yuewenzhai, the sign for collecting storybooks still stands there.

Liu Siyue stood not far away waiting for Qingwu. Not long after, Qingwu ran over and said, "Master, it's all settled. Sun Ya said he'll be waiting for us at the brokerage."

"Um.

"Qingwu, you stay outside and wait for me. If anything happens, I'll shout for you!" She was afraid this place was a black spot.

"Yes, Master, please be careful."

Liu Siyue stepped into Yuewenzhai. The shop assistant, Xiao Liu, was arranging the books on the bookshelf, while the manager, Shen Qianming, sat in front of the counter with a worried expression.

When Xiao Liu saw that a customer had arrived, he put down what he was doing and said, "What would you like to buy, young master? I can help you with your needs."

"I'm not buying anything, I'm here to sell storybooks."

Shen Qianming and Xiao Liu were both stunned, and said in unison, "Selling storybooks!"

Shen Qianming immediately came out from behind the counter. "Is this young master here to sell storybooks?"

"Yes, isn't there a sign at the entrance of your bookstore? Are you not accepting payments anymore?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Did you bring your storybook, young master?"

Liu Siyue patted the bundle on her back, "I brought it."

Shen Qianming was excited and hoped he wouldn't let himself down.

"Young master, please follow me."

Shen Qianming led Liu Siyue upstairs. Liu Siyue looked around the room, which was decorated in an antique style and had a scholarly atmosphere.

"Please have a seat, sir! I am the owner of this bookstore. My surname is Shen. May I ask how you are addressed?"

"My surname is Zhang."

"Welcome, Young Master Zhang, to submit your work to our bookstore. May I have the honor of reading your story first?"

Knock, knock, knock. The shopkeeper Shen let them in. A woman came up with a pot of hot water, made tea for them, and then left.

Liu Siyue took off the bundle, untied it, and handed a stack of papers to Manager Shen. In the meantime, Manager Shen had already poured her some tea.

"Young Master Zhang, please have some tea first. Let me read the storybook first." He prayed in his heart that it wouldn't be that old-fashioned tale of a poor scholar and a rich heiress.

The top of the manuscript was a blank sheet of paper. He removed the paper, revealing the title: *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, by Wu Xingyun.

Shen Qianming was somewhat excited; the name was clearly unique. He began reading with great eagerness. Chapter One: The Fuwei Escort Agency Suffers a Tragic Massacre

Eighteen years ago, the ten elders of the Sun Moon Sect challenged righteous masters to a duel atop Mount Hua...

Shen Qianming couldn't stop reading once he started; the first five chapters alone were enough to get his blood pumping.

He put the manuscript down. "The story is wonderful. I wonder how much Mr. Zhang plans to sell this story for?"

Liu Siyue held up three fingers. Manager Shen glanced at them and exclaimed, "Thirty taels?"

"Does the shopkeeper think my storybook is only worth 30 taels? It seems your sincerity in buying it is insufficient. Then let's give up."

"Young Master Zhang, please don't be angry. If you're not satisfied with the price, we can talk about it. Please tell me what these three fingers represent, so we don't waste time guessing."

"30000 taels."

"What? 30000 taels? Young Master Zhang's appetite is too big, asking for an exorbitant price."

"Shopkeeper Shen, I have my reasons for wanting so much."

Firstly: Is my story, with its novel concept, unique in the Great Sheng Dynasty?

Secondly, the story is highly engaging and captivating, keeping readers wanting more after finishing one chapter, ensuring sales.

Thirdly: This story has a total of 180 chapters and can be sold in 9 installments. When readers come to the bookstore to urge for more chapters, will it increase the bookstore's popularity and boost its revenue?

Fourthly: I have finished writing all 180 chapters of the story and can deliver it all at once, saving you the trouble of chasing me for more time.

"Shopkeeper Shen, to be honest, if I weren't in a hurry for money, I wouldn't have let the bookstore buy out all the books at once. I would have partnered with the bookstore and split the profits; that way, I would have earned more, don't you think?"
