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

After thanking Doctor Wu, the Liu sisters headed home. Liu Ruyun couldn't help but ask, "Siyue, you said you wanted to collect herbs to sell. Do you really know anything about medicinal herbs?"

"I know her," Liu Siyue gave her an affirmative answer.

Liu Ruyun was immediately delighted. With a way to make money, the family would have income, and her father wouldn't have to work so hard all by himself anymore. "April, I'll go up the mountain with you to collect herbs and sell them from now on."

"Okay, let's go together."

Before April, Liu had found a book about Chinese herbal medicine in the supermarket's book section. It was illustrated and easy to remember. Even though she couldn't remember it when she got to the mountains, she could take it out of her storage space to look at it anytime.

Back home, Liu Dawang told them her decision: she would start building the house the day after tomorrow. She asked the villagers for help; usually, villagers don't charge wages for building these kinds of adobe houses, they just provide meals.

"Ruyun, please prepare the meals at home better."

"Understood, Father."

Liu Siyue called Liu Ruyun into the house, took out five taels of silver, and said, "Cousin, keep this silver for household expenses."

"Cousin, I know our family is struggling financially. My aunt still needs to take medicine, and I have a lot of money on me. I don't need it right now, so besides buying medicine for my aunt, I should buy some good food. Don't sell the eggs anymore; cook one for everyone in the family every day to help them get better. Only when they are healthy can we earn more money."

My older sister believes in me; things will get better for our family in the future.

Liu Ruyun was somewhat moved. Although her cousin had been taken in by their family, her cousin had helped them even more. Now, she just wanted to gather herbs and earn money as soon as possible.

By the third day, Liu Siyue clearly felt that her milk supply had decreased significantly. Today was the last dose of the medicine, and after finishing it, she would be completely weaned and wouldn't have to feel so embarrassed when going out.

Construction on the house had already begun, so Liu Siyue asked her second uncle, "Second Uncle, how much would it cost if we used roof tiles for this room?"

"This room I built for you is a bit bigger than the others. I'll have Uncle Tian calculate it; do you want the roof tiled?"

"First, see how much money you need. If it's not much, it's best to use roof tiles. They're less likely to leak and will last longer. Even if you rebuild the house later, you can still use the roof tiles after removing them."

Liu Dawang went to Liu Youtian and started calculating for him that he would need about 700 tiles, each costing 3 wen, which is 2 liang and 1 qian of silver. 2 liang would be enough.

"Are you trying to build a roof?"

"I asked her in April, and she's thinking about it." "It's good to have roof tiles; it'll make the place more comfortable and secure for longer. If we decide to have roof tiles, we should decide as soon as possible. We still need to go to the kilns near the county town to buy them; we don't know if they have any ready-made ones," Liu Youtian said.

Liu Dawang immediately went to find Siyue, saying, "Siyue, Uncle Tian said two taels of silver is enough."

"Second Uncle, let's build a tiled house then." She went inside and looked around, actually taking two taels of silver from her spatial storage and handing it to Liu Dawang.

Liu Dawang took the money and decided to have Liu Youtian help him buy it the next day.

And so, every night while they were asleep, Liu Siyue would go into her space and start turning over the soil. The soil here was very loose, so it wasn't too tiring to work on. It was just that the tools weren't very good. She would work for an hour every night, and after seven or eight days, she had turned over a large area of ​​land. She didn't know if it was an acre or not. She found some vegetable seeds from the supermarket, tomatoes and peppers, and planted them one by one according to the instructions on the packaging.

She felt she couldn't just plant these, so she found other vegetables she liked to eat, like lettuce and spinach, and planted them first to see if they could grow. If they couldn't, it would be a waste of effort.

Only one day had passed, and seedlings had already sprouted from the soil. A stream had also appeared next to the spring, as if it had come from the spring itself. Small fish were swimming around in it, which made her very happy.

Liu Siyue felt that the vegetables were changing every day. Five days had passed, and the greens had grown big enough to eat. The peppers and tomatoes had also produced fruit. She watered the peppers and tomatoes with some stream water. Unexpectedly, when she went in the next day, the peppers and tomatoes that were small and green yesterday were now all big and red.

She was stunned. This spiritual spring actually had this effect. There were so many vegetables, and she couldn't finish them all, nor could she take them out. How long would it take her to pick them all by herself? If only there was a way to pick them quickly.

As she thought this, the tomatoes and peppers in the field piled up at her feet, their vines turning into fertilizer. Since there was no place to store them in her space, she tried to use her mind to move them to the supermarket, and she actually succeeded. She also used her mind to send the vegetables to the supermarket, placing them separately from the vegetables in the supermarket. The vegetables grown in her space were different from the vegetables in the supermarket.

She discovered that both the space and the supermarket had preservation functions, and the supermarket could automatically restock items after they were taken. It was wonderful! It seemed that there were many functions in this space that she didn't know about, waiting for her to discover them.

Liu Siyue hadn't added any spiritual spring water to the water these past few days. Instead, she secretly added it to her second aunt's medicine. She heard from her cousin that some of the chickens had stopped laying eggs, so she put a few eggs in the chicken coop every day. When Liu Ruyun went to collect the eggs, she found that there were more eggs in the coop than before, and the eggs were even bigger than before. Some of the chickens that had stopped brooding had started laying eggs again. She didn't know which two chickens were laying eggs, but they were laying two eggs a day. The family had achieved egg freedom.

She told her mother about this phenomenon, "Mom, the chickens that stopped roosting have started laying eggs again. Look, these eggs are much bigger than the others, and some of them lay two a day."

"Mom, don't worry about food at home anymore. Just eat whatever I make for you. April and I have already figured out how to make money."

"What method? Is there any danger?"

"There's no danger in going up the mountain to collect herbs; we're not going deep into the mountains."

Liu Siyue didn't have much money and was a little flustered. Without money, she felt insecure. There was a pawnshop in town, but it was a ruthless one. If she couldn't get a good price, she might get herself into trouble. She wanted to go to the county town to find out about the purchase of medicinal herbs there and pawn some of the things from the supermarket.

The first thing that came to her mind was a mirror. She chose a wooden frame about the size of a face, with carved patterns on it, which looked both rustic and exquisite.

"Cousin, Uncle, the house is almost finished, and I'm planning to go to the county town." She shared her idea, and everyone was a little worried. "We're worried about you, a woman, going out alone. How about Uncle accompanies you after the house is finished?"

"Second Uncle, don't worry. I went to the county town with Lu Yunzhou a few times when he was sick before. He'll be fine."

"I'll take an oxcart to town early tomorrow morning, and then a mule cart. That's the baby. I'll have to trouble my cousin to take him to Sister-in-law Zaohua to feed. If I can't make it back that day, I'll stay in the county town for one night and I'll definitely be back the next day."

Seeing that the two looked worried, Liu Siyue quickly comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll go this time to see which medicinal herbs are easy to sell so that we can be more targeted when we collect them. Otherwise, if the herbs we collect are hard to sell or don't fetch a good price, then all our work will be for nothing."

The two men found her words very reasonable and urged her to be careful, to be patient and tolerant, and to avoid conflicts with others, as ordinary people like them couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Liu Siyue readily agreed. In the morning, Liu Ruyun boiled a few eggs for her to take on the road. She took the small bundle, put it in her basket, and went to the village entrance to catch an oxcart.

Liu Siyue wasn't familiar with the women sitting on the oxcart and didn't greet them. She found a seat, closed her eyes, and began to rest. She heard them whispering about her, but she ignored it completely, like flies buzzing around.
