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

The next day, as soon as Liu Siyue woke up, she checked out of the inn and went out to see what was going on.

She bought two steamed buns on the street and ate them. After she finished eating, she walked to the vicinity of Zhucui Pavilion and saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance. The shopkeeper and his assistant were cursing and wiping with water. "Who did this? Come out now, or we'll report you to the authorities. Don't beg us for a settlement. Our boss will have the magistrate sentence your whole family to jail or exile."

The louder they cursed, the louder the onlookers laughed, which made them even angrier, and they ordered the shop assistants to drive away the crowd.

The onlookers whispered among themselves: "See? They got what they deserved. This is what happens to unscrupulous merchants. Now everyone knows what to do. Go back and tell your families never to buy jewelry from Zhucui Pavilion."

Zhu Cui Pavilion was in trouble, but Jin Yu Lou was naturally the happiest. Belittling the opponent was like praising oneself. From today onwards, Jin Yu Lou's business will flourish and its wealth will increase, while Zhu Cui Pavilion will be deserted and no one will come to visit.

Taking advantage of this wave of public opinion, Jin Yu Lou launched a promotion to attract people to the store to make purchases. Even people who didn't originally intend to buy anything ended up buying something out of curiosity.

The people at Zhucui Pavilion were furious. No matter how they wiped or washed the words on the walls and doors, they couldn't get rid of them. "Manager, what should we do? These words can't be wiped or washed off."

"Close for three days, find a carpenter to replace the door panels, and find a bricklayer to plaster the walls with whitewash." The shop assistant immediately went to do it.

The manager of Zhucui Pavilion was wondering who could have done this. They had done it before and no one had ever bothered them. He immediately thought of the young master from yesterday. It must be him. He was here to take revenge.

"Alright, don't let me catch you. I'll make sure you're not dead, but I'll make sure you're badly injured." He immediately ordered his two kung fu-savvy men to go out and find someone on the street, and once they found him, to take him to his place.

Liu Siyue watched this scene from afar, finally feeling relieved.

The two men searched the streets, and Liu Siyue was standing right in front of them. They didn't recognize her because she was dressed as a woman. They could search the whole county town and still not find her.

The street stalls were all set up. She bought a silk flower for each of her sisters and then strolled around the county town. She discovered a business opportunity: making cakes. They could make them at home. She had made them before, but now she didn't have an oven. She would go back and think of a way to make them. She was sure she could.

She boarded the first carriage back to town, driven by the same driver as yesterday. The driver was happy to see her, and she greeted him in return. "Young lady, please get in and sit down. It's too sunny outside. We'll leave when it's time."

Liu Siyue boarded the carriage and leaned against the side, closing her eyes to rest. After a while, several more people boarded. She heard someone snort, and when she opened her eyes, she saw it was the same master and servant from yesterday. What a small world! Liu Siyue ignored them and saw that there were already eight people in the carriage, which was full. Then she heard the driver shout, "Ladies and gentlemen, please sit tight and hold on. We're about to depart."

With a crack of the coachman's whip, "Giddy up!" the carriage slowly began to move.

Having learned from her previous experience, Liu Siyue kept a tight grip on the carriage this time, still keeping her eyes closed to rest. This didn't stop her from listening to gossip. "Miss, how could the young master treat you like this? You're devoted to him, even defying the master and madam, and sneaking out of the house to see him, but he's indifferent to you. I think the young master doesn't care about you at all. In the future, Miss, you shouldn't go against the master and madam for his sake."

"Pearl, stop talking nonsense outside."

"Miss, I feel sorry for you. You used to always give Young Master money, but you didn't this time. This is how Young Master treats you. It's obvious that money is not as important as you."

"Zhu'er, don't say that about your cousin. He studies hard and has many expenses. It's also my fault for having a disagreement with my parents this time and forgetting to bring any money when I left in a hurry. You must remind me next time. I only gave my cousin a few hundred coins this time. How is he going to live? When you get back to the manor, take some time to deliver some to your cousin."

Listening to the conversation between the mistress and maid, Liu Siyue thought that this pampered young lady had encountered a gigolo, while the maid was quite clear-headed and devoted to her mistress. Sigh! Women in love are all brainless.

When they arrived in town, everyone got off the bus. Liu Siyue couldn't help but say, "Men who live off women are rarely good people. Maybe she's using your money to support another woman!"

Believe it or not, Liu Siyue actually hit the nail on the head.

It wasn't yet time for the village's oxcart to return, so she headed towards the town. The master and servant watched her departing figure, exchanging glances, wondering what she meant by those words.

The young lady still didn't seem to understand, but the maid seemed to get it.

When Liu Siyue arrived at the clothing shop, she bought a beautiful light pink dress for each of the two little girls. She could easily imagine how the two girls would look in these clothes, and she wanted her daughters to wear beautiful clothes when they grew up.

The oxcart wouldn't be back for more than an hour, and she wanted to go up the mountain to collect herbs, but she didn't have the right tools. All she saw at her second uncle's house was a hoe, a shovel, and two machetes, which wasn't enough for collecting herbs!

She also wanted to buy a dagger for self-defense, so she went into her spatial dimension to change into men's clothing. When she came out, she asked people on the street for directions to the blacksmith's shop. From afar, she could hear the rhythmic sound of hammers striking the metal. It was quite pleasant to listen to.

Upon arriving at the blacksmith's shop, a burly man with dark, gleaming skin asked, "Young master, what would you like to buy?"

Liu Siyue was stunned by this man's physique. His dark skin was as if it had been coated with oil, shiny and glossy, and his eight-pack abs were very strong and powerful. He could have participated in a bodybuilding competition.

Upon hearing the question, she immediately snapped out of her reverie, "Ah, I want to buy a hoe."

"Come in with me."

The burly man led her into a room filled with various finished farm tools, some hanging on the wall and others leaning against the floor. She walked to where the hoes were kept, picked up the smallest one, and weighed it in her hand. It was a bit too heavy. She smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have anything lighter than this?"

"This is the lightest hoe in the family. Everyone else says it's too light, but you say it's too heavy. If it's any lighter, it won't be able to dig the ground. If the ground is too hard, it might bounce back."

"I'm not for digging, I'm for gathering herbs."

"You're talking about a medicine hoe. This thing isn't used often, and nobody usually buys it unless you order one for yourself, young master."

"How much is the lightest hoe head?"

"160 coins. If you want a hoe, you'll need to add 20 coins."

"How much does a medicinal herb hoe cost? How long does it take to make a custom one? Do you have a sample? Can I take a look?"

"The medicine hoe is lighter than this, but more difficult to make than a hoe head. It costs 400 coins. I don't have a sample, but I can show you a picture."

Upon inspection, Liu Siyue realized that the hoes were indeed different from the handles, but buying the hoes would suffice for his needs. Even if he stopped gathering herbs, he could still farm. So he said to the burly man, "I'd like to buy three hoes, but not the handles. Do you sell any knives or daggers here?"

"Young master should know that these are all contraband items, and the government does not allow them to be made. However, if you can afford the price, I can take the risk and sell you one. The smallest is 20 taels, the medium-sized one is 50 taels, and the longest one is 100 taels. There is no bargaining. We can only look at the goods if you can accept the price."

"Okay, I want to check the goods first."

The burly man went out for a while and then came back in. "Young master, please follow me." Liu Siyue followed him to another room. The burly man took out three daggers of different lengths. Liu Siyue immediately took a liking to the one-foot-long dagger, and played with it in her hand. It was indeed very sharp.
