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

The woman said, "Master, you've been coming to my room these past few days. Aren't you afraid the madam will come looking for you? The madam can't do anything to you, and you can't protect me. I only have one way out: death."

"Don't worry, she can't come."

"How can you be so sure, sir?"

"I gave her a calming soup before she went to sleep, and she slept soundly until dawn."

"Master, I'm quite scared living in this mansion. So many people died and were secretly buried without being reported to the authorities to seek justice for them. Do you think their spirits will haunt us? I always feel that the mansion is eerie, and it's several times colder at night."

"No, we didn't kill them. Even if they're haunted, they're not looking for us, but for the people who killed them."

This mysterious assassin is highly skilled in martial arts. Reporting it to the authorities won't bring any results; it will only cause trouble for me. It's better to settle things quietly and have some peace and quiet, so that my wife can give up on her hopes.

"Master, if Madam keeps thinking about avenging the young master, I'm afraid the manor will not be peaceful."

"You don't need to worry about that. I've already persuaded Madam to let it go, and she won't continue thinking about revenge."

"Master, your vast fortune cannot be left without an heir. Why don't you let me bear you a son?"

"Okay! Let's come quickly!"

Qingwu couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she got up, left the Wu residence, and returned to the Yun residence.

Qingye hadn't slept. Hearing noises in the courtyard, she called out, "Sister Qingwu, you're back."

"Hmm, you're still awake?"

"It's so late and you're still not back. I can't sleep."

"Now that I'm back, you can relax. Go to sleep, I'll be heading back to the village first thing tomorrow morning."

The next day, as soon as the city gates opened, Qingwu left the city. The carriage sped along the road and soon arrived at Liujia Village.

"Master, I'm back."

Qingwu first recounted the events at Huichuntang, then handed her the silver from selling honey syrup. "Master, Manager Wang gave 16 taels of silver. Doctor Li didn't want the money for these medicines, but I insisted, and Doctor Li accepted 1 tael of silver. There are still 15 taels left."

"My lord, I acted on my own initiative. You won't blame me, will you?"

"You always think of me, so why should I blame you?"

What's the situation in the county town now?

"Master, the county town is as calm as still water. The Wu family didn't report it to the authorities at all; they secretly buried the person." She then recounted what she had learned. "Master, do you think that lady will give up?"

"Probably. The richer people are, the more afraid they are of dying. What if they die before they've spent all their money?"

"Master, that Master Wu is no good either. He actually drugged Madam Wu and slept with the maids in the manor. He's shameless."

"Who cares about shamelessness, as long as it doesn't affect us."

And so, the days passed, and the seedlings cultivated in the village grew better and better. In a few more days, they would be ready to be transplanted. With a clap of thunder on the plain, the first spring rain fell. The villagers were overjoyed. As soon as the rain stopped, spring sowing would officially begin.

The rain was light and not heavy at all; it was all absorbed by the soil as it fell into the ground. This spring rain lasted for three days. When the rain stopped, a rainbow appeared in the sky, colorful and very beautiful.

Two days later, Liu Siyue arranged for people to dig up the chili seedlings and transport them to the village by truckload. The village chief and the villagers waited under the big willow tree to receive their chili seedlings.

"Uncle Village Chief, these are chili seedlings. They were distributed according to the original registration. The weather is good now, and the soil moisture is just right. They should all survive after being planted."

"Uncle Village Chief, where are the furrows I asked you to prepare?"

"Everything is ready here."

"Everyone, watch carefully how I plant chili seedlings, and plant them the same way in your own fields:"

First, no more than three seedlings should be planted in one hole. Why three? This prevents seedlings from dying, so that you don't have to replant later and waste land. In case of strong winds, the seedlings can support each other and won't fall over.

Secondly, sufficient distance should be left between each planting hole. This is beneficial for plant growth, ventilation, and light, resulting in larger, more vibrant-colored peppers. It also makes later fertilization and watering management easier.

Liu Siyue first took three seedlings out of the car. "Look, these seedlings are growing very strong. Dig a hole and plant the seedlings in it. Then press the soil down firmly with your hands. It just rained today, so there's no need to water them for now. The seedlings will recover in two or three days and start to grow."

She took out three more seedlings, picked up a thin stick from the ground, roughly measured their size, and broke it. "Look, the distance between these holes is about this far. Remember, don't plant them too close together. If they're too close, they won't grow big, and they won't be able to color properly and turn red."

Don't ignore my advice, or I won't accept the fruit if it doesn't ripen properly.

Planting is very simple; just follow the instructions. When you get home, burn plenty of wood ash; you'll need it for the chili pepper patch later.

After Liu Siyue finished speaking, everyone was vying to take a stick and compare it with the stick in her hand. Liu Siyue handed the stick to the village chief and asked him to make a size standard for everyone.

"Uncle Village Chief, no matter how late it is today, we must distribute all the chili seedlings. My second uncle will supervise the uprooting of the seedlings, and Bai Qiming will be responsible for transporting them back to the village."

"Okay, okay, I'll make sure the chili seedlings are delivered to the head of each household."

The villagers were enthusiastically planting chili seedlings, which made the people of Bainiwan envious. "What kind of seedlings are you planting? They're growing really well! Could you give me a few to plant too?"

"No, we bought them all, just enough for our own planting, we don't have any extra."

"Where did you buy them? We'll go buy some too."

The villagers of Liujia Village looked smug. "You can't buy these. These seedlings were specially cultivated for us in April. They were all counted, and there isn't a single one left."

The people of Bainiwan didn't believe their nonsense and went back to their village to find their village chief. "Village chief, the people of Liujia Village are planting seedlings. Those seedlings look very strong. Could you please ask me for some? We'll pay for them; we won't take them for free."

"Come on, take me to see it."

When Wei Yuanguang arrived at the field, he squatted down to observe carefully. He had never seen this seedling before. Could it be that this was the chili seedling that Liu Maoquan had mentioned, and that Liu Siyue had produced it again?

He walked up behind the people who were planting seedlings and deliberately said loudly, "These chili seedlings are growing really well; they're guaranteed to survive if you plant them."

The man turned around. "Oh, it's Village Chief Wei. You know these are chili seedlings?"

"certainly."

"How did you know? Is this a secret of our village?"

Wei Yuanguang smiled faintly and remained silent. "How I know is none of your concern. I have my own way of doing things." With that, he turned and left.

The villager from Liu's family told his wife to hurry back to the village so he could tell the village chief that their village's secret had been leaked.

Wei Yuanguang saw the people from his village and said, "Let's go back."

"Village chief, what are they planting?"

"They plant something called chili peppers. I don't know what they look like or what they're used for. I just heard it from someone. It was Liu who made it. She had the people in Liujia Village plant it, and when it bears fruit, they'll sell all the fruit to her."

"The people of Liujia Village are going to get rich again! Village Chief, could you help us buy some seedlings to plant too?"

"If I could buy them, I would have bought them long ago. I'm afraid the Liu family has already taken precautions against people falsely reporting and reselling them."

"Village chief, what should we do? Life is getting worse every day. The wild vegetables on the mountain haven't even grown yet, and we're already facing a food shortage."

"Could you go to the Liu family and help our village?"

"I really can't do anything about this. If you have the ability, go and ask for it yourselves. I will definitely not stop you. I even hope that you can get it! So that everyone in the village can live a good life."
