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

Liu Siyue immediately stood up and bowed in greeting, "Siyue greets sister-in-law."

Pei Wanyu quickly stepped forward to help her up. "Sister Siyue, please get up. There's no need for formalities among family. My husband often mentions you, how smart and capable you are. I've always wanted to meet you, and today I see that you truly live up to your name."

Not only is April intelligent, but she also clearly possesses the qualities of a well-educated, sensible, and kind-hearted person.

"Sister-in-law, please don't praise me too much, I can't take praise."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Wanyu is right. In just a few months, April has grown even more beautiful."

"Auntie, please don't flatter me. You and Uncle have always been in good health. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't find it offensive."

Liu Siyue took all the gifts from her spatial storage. She didn't really know how to give gifts. In her mind, men would give cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, while women would give pastries, clothes, and jewelry. To avoid making a mistake, she gave some health supplements.

Madam Wang accepted the gift with a smile, saying, "You've come so kindly."

When did you arrive in the prefectural city? Are you alone?

"I arrived the day before yesterday, with Qingwu."

Where do you live now?

"We're staying at an inn. Something happened in the city these past few days, so we haven't dared to go out. Today the city gates opened, and the streets have returned to their usual bustling state, so we've come to visit today."

"We're already home, why are you staying at an inn? Which inn are you staying at? I'll have someone bring Qingwu over right away."

"Auntie, there's no need to go to so much trouble. We're perfectly fine staying at the inn."

We plan to go back tomorrow. We've been away for several days, and our family must be worried.

"I came out this time firstly to see Ruxue, and secondly to discuss some business matters with Brother Wang and Sister Wang."

"Why did you leave in such a hurry? If you're here, stay a few more days. You sisters can have a good chat, and let Zhi'er show you around the city. There are many fun places to visit in the city."

"No, Auntie, let's do it next time. Such a big thing happened in the prefectural city, and it's not very peaceful. You should be careful when you go out."

"Yes, you're right. Next time you come to the prefectural city, just come straight to my house and don't stay at an inn."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll definitely come and bother you again next time."

Upon hearing about business, Wang Qing'an became interested. "What kind of business is it this time?"

Liu Siyue then talked about the soap and mosquito coils. She took out two bars of soap, two bars of scented soap, and several coils of mosquito coils from her bag. "These are all. This soap can be used to wash hands and clothes. This is scented soap, which can be used to take a bath. I made several scented soaps, but only one type of soap."

This is mosquito coil. Now that the weather is hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes. This coil can burn all night, and the mosquitoes will fly away as soon as they smell it.

Wang Zhilan was delighted. "Sister Liu, you can put all of these in my shop to sell."

"Yes, of course I would consider Sister Wang first."

Wang Qing'an held the soap and smelled it again and again. "How do you use this?"

"When you take a shower, wet your body and rub it directly on your skin. It will foam up and leave your skin smooth. You can try it on your hands."

Soap is very convenient; you simply wet the clothes with water, rub the soap directly onto them, and then rinse them with clean water.

Now you can fill a basin with water and try it out.

After listening to Liu Siyue's explanation, everyone nodded repeatedly, eager to try it out.

Before long, the servants brought in four basins of water. Madam Wang, Master Wang, and the Wang siblings all tried it, and the effect was surprisingly good.

As she wiped her hands, Madam Wang smiled and said, "April, did you come up with all of this?"

Liu Siyue blushed slightly. "I just came up with this by chance when I was bored at home. Please excuse my poor attempt to imitate it."

"What you're doing isn't just wild speculation; it's true wisdom. Everything you create is unique, and this business is sure to be profitable. It's a one-of-a-kind business."

"Yes, this is something that wealthy people love, so it will definitely fetch a good price. I'll also benefit from April's success."

Amidst his joy, Wang Qing'an sighed, "The world may soon descend into chaos, business will be impossible for the time being. Safety is paramount, let's wait and see for a while."

"Brother Wang said nothing is more important than personal safety. Without people, you have everything."

Let's try mosquito coils.

"Okay, let's find a place with lots of mosquitoes."

Wang Qing'an led them to a damp, overgrown place. Not long after they entered, they were bitten on their faces and hands.

"This is it." Wang Qing'an squatted down and lit the mosquito coil.

The smoke from the mosquito coil rose in wisps, spreading in all directions, and sure enough, no mosquitoes came to bite. Wang Qing'an smiled and said, "This mosquito coil is good, this mosquito coil is good! I can finally get a good night's sleep."

In April, it would be wonderful if two kinds of incense could be made. During the day, using them would not only repel mosquitoes but also refresh the mind; at night, in addition to repelling mosquitoes, they would also calm the nerves and promote sleep.

Liu Siyue smiled and said, "Brother Wang is indeed a businessman. He is very thoughtful. After making the mosquito coils, he let everyone try them. I collected everyone's opinions and made several improvements. I added several medicinal herbs and made the two kinds of mosquito coils that Brother Wang mentioned."

I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring any. Today I'm using the most basic one, which only works to repel mosquitoes.

"Sister Liu, you're amazing! With such a great business, it's hard not to make money."

"Brother, if we can't do business outside, we'll do business in the prefectural city. Dongping Prefecture has 11 counties under its jurisdiction. Why don't we start by building up business in those places?"

Wang Qingan thought for a moment, "Hmm, that works too. It's really annoying to stay at home all day with nothing to do."

"Brother Wang, let's not rush into business. If the world is in chaos, bandits will surely run rampant, and it's too dangerous to go out. Let's try it out in the prefectural city first. We'll talk about it again when the situation stabilizes. I'll prepare the goods first, and we can get moving as soon as the opportunity arises."

"Alright, how about this, I'll go to Liujia Village in a couple of days to have a better understanding of the situation."

"Alright! Then I'll go back and wait for Brother Wang's arrival."

Wang Zhilan, standing to the side, was displeased. She snorted, "Sister Liu, we met first. Look at you, calling me 'Brother Wang' all the time, completely forgetting about me, your older sister. I'm so sad!"

Wang Qing'an doted on his younger sister. Even though she was over 30, he still spoiled and indulged her like when they were children. "Okay, okay, it was your older brother's fault. Don't be sad. I'll take you with me when I go, okay?"

Liu Siyue and Ruxue laughed so hard they bent over. Liu Siyue patted Wang Zhilan's shoulder and said, "Good sister, how could I bear to make you sad? My house is finished, and you are welcome to move in anytime."

"That's more like it!"

They returned to the reception room and took their seats. Liu Siyue then asked Ruxue, "Ruxue, what have you gained and what are your thoughts these past few months?"

"Sister Wang arranged for me to learn how to manage the shop, and I also went to the restaurant with Brother Wang to learn. I plan to go home in the fall and start my own business. I want to make the shop you gave me work."

I've never traveled far before. I'm hoping Brother Wang can take me with him when he goes on a long trip, so I can broaden my horizons and build up my courage. I'm going to do big business someday; I can't be confined to this small world.

Ru Xue laughed after she finished speaking, and the others laughed even harder. Wang Qing'an smiled and said, "Ru Xue has great ambitions. Follow me and learn from me. You will definitely be more successful than me in the future."

"Zhi'er, if you had the same kind of courage as Xue, you wouldn't have ruined your shops like that."

"Big brother, please stop making fun of me, okay? Give me some face."
