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

Yun Chenxin thought for a moment, "Let's start with 4%, and then each of us can compromise to 3%, but it can't be less than 2%. That's my idea, since we're not doing anything this time."

"Okay, you're right. One shouldn't be too greedy. Only a win-win situation can last."

It's getting late, and Yao'er will start crying if she can't find me.

In the evening, Liu Siyue took out a little rice from each of the granaries in the space, put it in an oil paper bag and left it there, waiting for Niu Dali to come and inspect it.

Early the next morning, Qingye set off in the carriage. When they arrived at the village, Niu Dali and the others were already up and working in the fields. "Village Head Niu."

"Oh, it's Miss Qingye. What brings you here today?"

"The master has arrived and wants you to go and see the rice seeds."

"Okay, I'll call Ma Dazhuang to come along. It'll be safer if the two of us watch it together."

Niu Dali and Ma Dazhuang drove the oxcart, following behind Qingye's horse-drawn carriage, until they arrived at the Yun residence. Qingye led the two men to the reception hall. "Niu Dali and Ma Dazhuang greet their master."

"Since you're all here, please have a seat."

The two were a little embarrassed. "Master, we can just stand."

"Sit down when I tell you to."

"Go lightly to my room and bring me those rice seeds; the kind you have is better."

Qingye brought over a plate of oil paper wrappings and placed it on the table between the two of them.

"These are all rice seeds, and each bag contains different ones. Please check which ones are usable."

Niu Dali and Ma Dazhuang opened the paper packages and inspected them one by one, rubbing them with their hands and smelling them. After looking at them, they shook their heads and said, "Master, of all the rice seeds you found, only these two packages are usable. The others probably won't sprout well."

This seed seller is absolutely despicable! He's bullying his master! If we actually use those rice seeds, this season's harvest will be a total loss.

"Master, we must hold him accountable. This is costing the lives of ordinary people; we can't let him continue to exploit them like this."

"Don't get agitated. I'll handle this. Just tell me which of the two bags of rice seeds you selected is better, and we'll buy that one to plant."

"Master, these two bags of rice seeds are the same; I can't tell the difference."

"Alright, once you've bought the rice seeds, you can come and pick them up."

Tell me about the situation on the estate.

"We have a total of 9 oxen on our farm. After the previous harvest, we started plowing the fields. With oxen and such a good plow, the plowing efficiency is very high."

The land on the estate will be plowed in three days. Our next tasks will be tidying up the estate, planting vegetables, and so on. We'll do whatever the master asks.

"I told Manager Ning yesterday that you should grow more of all kinds of fruits and vegetables, raise some chickens, ducks and fish, and raise some pigs. You can eat them at home and improve your lives. The pigs will be slaughtered at the end of the year, so you'll have meat for the New Year."

The meat from pigs I raise myself tastes especially good.

The two men knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Master, for allowing us to raise these animals."

"Didn't your previous owners allow you to keep them?"

"Yes, the previous owners said that keeping these things was unsightly, and that they made unpleasant noises and smelled bad."

"I also hate the smell and noise. You should keep the livestock far away from the houses so that the smell doesn't drift over. The livestock pens should be cleaned up promptly, and the manure should be piled up. I need it."

"Once the land on the estate is plowed, the oxen won't be needed for the time being. I have several estates in the town. You can drive the oxen there for them to use. You don't need to bring the plows; each estate has been allocated one."

Go back and select two skilled farmers, either men or women, who must be clever and quick-witted. They will come with me in three days to learn new planting techniques.

"Yes, Master, we've written it down."

Niu Dali and Ma Dazhuang left, and Liu Siyue said she wanted to go for a walk. Yun Chenxin sat down next to her and dismissed the servants. "Siyue, Lu Yunzhou might recognize me."

"What happened?"

Yun Chenxin then recounted the incident: "That day, I took Qingye out to the street. We had just come out of a clothing store when we bumped into Lu Yunzhou, who was walking towards us. I pretended to be calm and didn't recognize Lu Yunzhou, but unexpectedly, Lu Yunzhou called my name from behind."

Qingye asked me who Zhou Xiangxing was, since the scholar seemed to be calling out to them. I told Qingye that I didn't know Zhou Xiangxing, but I told her that the man's name was Lu Yunzhou, her ex-husband, and that she should be more careful in the future.

To my surprise, Lu Yunzhou caught up with me and blocked my way, saying that the two children were having a hard time, that their family was bullying them, and that the two children missed me very much.

I gave Lu Yunzhou a piece of my mind and then left.

Later, I asked Qingye to inquire about Lu Yunzhou's situation. Since the Lantern Festival poetry gathering, Lu Yunzhou has become famous in the county town, and everyone calls him the number one talent in Lingshui.

The young ladies of the county town were enamored with him and would always create chance encounters. This greatly displeased the young men of wealthy families, and the girls who used to like them all distanced themselves from them, mentioning Lu Yunzhou in every other sentence.

Jealousy drives people crazy. That day, Lu Yunzhou came out of Zuixianlou and was beaten black and blue.

In April, we had to admit that Lu Yunzhou was quite talented in his studies. I was afraid that one day he would get into high school and come back to cause us trouble.

After listening to Yun Chenxin's story, Liu Siyue was surprised to find that Lu Yunzhou was doing so well in the county town. She was neither a violent maniac nor a murderer, and as long as he didn't provoke her, she wouldn't bother with him.

"Chenxin, you did the right thing. No matter what, you can't admit it. There are plenty of people in this world who look alike. How many has he actually seen?"

If you ever run into him again and he dares to bother you, have Qingye beat him up. Give him a good beating, like a lecherous scoundrel. After all, you're a great beauty now; how can you let a man take liberties with you?"

"Are you making fun of me? Someone like me, calling myself a great beauty? I'm not even close to being a beauty."

"Don't be so quick to deny yourself. I think you're beautiful. You need to learn to appreciate yourself, okay?"

"Okay, okay, we admire each other."

"Chenxin, to be honest, do you miss your two children?"

Yun Chenxin lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "When I'm busy, I don't think about anything, but when the night is quiet, there's always a moment when I think of them."

They are my children, and I have always cherished them like precious jewels. No mother in the world doesn't love her own children.

I may think about them, but I won't go to see them, much less acknowledge them. My love for them can only remain hidden in my heart.

I have no expectations for those two children. Their fleeting longing for me was simply because they hadn't received any benefits from others and had been treated unfairly, which is why they thought of me, their biological mother who had once been there for them.

In their hearts, they probably hate me even more. They naturally think that I abandoned them and that the seeds of resentment were sown when they suffered injustice and abuse at home.

Therefore, I will never be able to acknowledge them in this lifetime. Even if we meet, we will be strangers.

"It's good that you can think it through. I'm just afraid that you'll act impulsively and get yourself into trouble again, and in the end, you'll be the one who gets hurt."

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly clear-headed right now. I just want to make money, just like you said, to be a professional woman, so I can shine wherever I go."

If I meet the right person in the future, I'll start a second spring in my life. If I never find love again, I have enough money to live a good life alone.
