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

Lightly, it went away quickly and returned just as fast. "Master, there are only five cows left at the livestock market today. I don't know much about cows, but they look quite strong."

"Qingwu, do you know how to watch cows?"

"I don't know how to look at cows. I guess they're livestock, probably like horses."

"Okay, let's go take a look at those cows."

When they arrived at the livestock market, they found that the people selling the cattle were not cattle dealers, but old farmers. Liu Siyue thought the cattle were quite good and would definitely be fine for plowing.

"Qingwu, what do you think?"

"Madam, please buy our ox. We've raised it from a calf to now, and it's just the right age to work. But unfortunately, something has happened at home, and we need money, so we have no choice but to sell it."

The other cattle sellers also looked at Liu Siyue expectantly, all hoping he would buy their cattle.

"Sir, how much is your cow?"

"Spring plowing is coming soon, and this is the time for oxen to work hard. My ox costs 30 taels of silver."

"Madam, why don't you buy my ox? Look, mine is bigger and stronger than his. Mine is 30 taels too."

"Madam, madam, madam, look at our oxen. They all weigh 30 taels each and are excellent at pulling carts and plowing fields. They are gentle and easy to raise."

"You know spring plowing is coming soon, so why are you selling cattle? Don't you farm anymore?"

Is there something wrong with your cows?

"Madam, I had no choice but to sell the ox!"

I wouldn't sell it if there were any other way, I absolutely wouldn't sell it. I can guarantee that my ox has absolutely no problems.

The others chimed in, "Madam, just buy my ox. I guarantee there's nothing wrong with it. If there is, just send me to the authorities."

Several people selling cattle were touching their cows, their faces filled with sorrow and reluctance.

"Madam, my son went hunting in the mountains and was injured by a wild boar. He is now on the verge of death and we need the money from selling the cow to save him."

"A disobedient son in the family is a good-for-nothing. He was lured to a gambling den and owed the den several dozen taels of silver. Gambling dens are places that eat people without spitting out their bones."

My son only borrowed 10 taels of silver, but in half a month he had almost 30 taels.

If they don't pay back the money, they're going to cut off my son's hands and feet.

"I only have one son, madam, please have mercy and buy my cow!"

"Madam, my wife suffered postpartum hemorrhage, and the baby is very weak. They need to be nourished with good medicine. If we stop the medication, their lives will be hanging by a thread, and the couple and their child will be separated forever."

The cattle sellers each told their own stories, each recounting their own hardships.

Looking at these people, Liu Siyue sighed at their hardships. Anyway, he had a lot of money, and it wasn't money he earned, so he might as well give back to the people.

"Alright, all of you stop crying. I've bought all your cattle."

The group of people who were wiping away tears looked up at Liu Siyue at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Madam, you just said you wanted to buy all our cattle, did I hear you correctly?"

"You heard me right, our lady said she's going to buy all your cattle."

"Yes, I'll buy all your cattle. I know you have a hard life. It'll only cost 30 taels of silver. I won't haggle with you."

The group quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Siyue, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives, Madam."

"Get up, all of you. Hopefully, this money will solve your problems."

"Where can I buy a cart? I need to harness the oxen to it."

"Madam, the cart stalls at the livestock market haven't opened yet; they probably won't open until after the Lantern Festival."

"Alright then, I'll pay you right now. Take the money and go home."

Liu Siyue rummaged in her sleeves, pulling out 30 taels of silver one moment and 30 taels the next, going from left to right, until she finally paid off the money for the 5 cows.

The group led the cattle to the market entrance and registered their identities.

"Madam, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."

"Don't leave yet. Help us get the cattle to their destination. We can't possibly move so many cattle back."

"Madam, just tell us where you want the cattle delivered, and we'll make sure to get them there."

"Lightly dance and gracefully sway, you take them back, let them escort you to the street corner, and you yourselves lead the cattle back."

"Yes, Master. And what about you?"

"I'll go to the pharmacy and see if they have any handcarts for sale."

"Master, why don't you let Qingye take them back? I'll go with you."

"No need, Qingye can't see that many cows by herself."

"Alright, don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

"Master, you must be careful!"

"Okay, okay, stop being so fussy."

As Liu Siyue drove the carriage, she thought to herself, "If I find any skilled men at the brokerage firm this time, I'll buy a few. We're currently repairing our house and preparing for spring planting, so we're short-handed."

Practicing martial arts is not something that can be done overnight; there's no quick and easy way to learn something that you can use right away.

If we put one or two of the buyers on the estate and teach the people there how to train, they will not only improve their health, but also be able to protect themselves if anything happens.

I'll get a personal servant for my second uncle and a few people at home. That way, I can be at ease even if I'm away for a long time. Just thinking about it makes me so happy.

Before they knew it, they arrived at Changshun Real Estate Brokerage and Liu Siyue went straight to Song Laosan.

"Mrs. Liu, it's been a long time! Happy New Year!"

Long time no see, Happy New Year!

"Madam, are you here today to buy a person or a house?"

Are there any men in the brokerage firm who know martial arts?

"Yes, a batch of government slaves were transported from the north before the New Year. Among them, more than 20 are skilled. Would you like to take a look?"

They said these people were servants, but I felt they had a lot of hostility about them.

If you're worried, you can wait. I'll reserve it for you if new stock arrives later.

"Do you even know anything about this person's background?"

Song Laosan lowered his voice, "I heard it was a servant of the Yongning Marquis's mansion. The Yongning Marquis's mansion was uprooted, and three generations of his family were executed. The crime was treason."

I overheard this, so please don't tell anyone.

"Will there be any problems if I buy them back?"

"You can rest assured, Madam Liu. This is an official product sold by the imperial court; there's absolutely no problem with it."

"Are you sure you want to buy them, Madam?"

"I'm sure. People who know martial arts are definitely strong and healthy. I want to buy some strong and healthy people to do farm work."

"Madam, why don't you go and take a look at those people first, and then decide whether or not you want to buy anything?"

"Okay, then take me to see it."

Song Laosan led Liu Siyue to an empty courtyard. "Madam, please wait here. I'll go and bring the person out."

With a clanging sound of chains, more than 20 people stood in the courtyard behind Song Laosan.

"Madam, look, it's them."

Liu Siyue looked at these people; although she wasn't in a good mental state, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Her gaze was cold, and her voice was slightly authoritative. "I heard from Song Yaren that you all have some martial arts skills. Can you show us?"

Let me make this clear first: I am just a village woman with a lot of land, and I want to buy people to farm it.

"If you're willing, demonstrate a couple of moves for me. If not, then we'll stop here."

They were once guards of the Earl's mansion, following their master into battle, how proud they were! Now, however, they were being picked and chosen by a peasant woman, and they felt really bad.

If only the woman in front of me were the eldest princess, but even the eldest princess is now in a precarious situation.

Having come to this point, what resistance could they possibly offer? They were government slaves, government slaves who would never be able to rise up, destined to be manipulated by others for the rest of their lives.

"I wonder how Madam wants us to train."

"You guys can practice however you like, I want to watch."
