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

The pawnshop owner wasn't annoyed. He smiled and said, "Young master, your price is far too high. I can't afford it. If you're truly committed to this deal, let's offer a fair price that satisfies both of us. I'll offer 1000 taels. What do you say?"

The shopkeeper lowered the price by half, but she felt there was still room for a premium. After several rounds of back and forth, they finally set the price at 1200 taels per bead.

The shopkeeper was about to write a pawn ticket and collect the money when Liu Siyue stopped her, saying, "Shopkeeper, please wait."

The shopkeeper turned around, thinking Liu Siyue had changed her mind. "Young master, have you changed your mind?"

"Shopkeeper, please be patient and let me finish speaking."

The shopkeeper was a little displeased. He thought to himself, "If you dare to play any tricks, I'll beat you until you bark like a dog." But he kept a calm expression on his face, revealing nothing of his displeasure.

"Shopkeeper, if I had a set of such treasures, what price would you offer?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean by that, young master." His eyes gleamed, and his words implied something about the pearl.

"I have all four of the Four Gentlemen: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum."

Is this really true?

"certainly!"

"Please come inside for a chat, young master."

Liu Siyue quickly refused. If she went in, she might be robbed and killed. She wasn't going to fall for it. "Shopkeeper, it's fine here. We can agree on a price, settle the transaction, and then leave each other alone."

The shopkeeper, understanding her concerns, didn't press the matter further. "If you truly possess such skill, sir, I'm willing to add another 100 taels per bead. What do you say?"

Liu Siyue felt that was enough and that she couldn't be too greedy. "Alright, the shopkeeper is so straightforward, I can't be ambiguous either."

She took out the four beads one by one, and the shopkeeper quickly took out a tray to catch them. The tray was lined with light blue silk, which made the beads look even more dazzling.

He examined each one carefully and found them to be exquisite. He immediately wrote a pawn ticket and went to the back to collect the silver notes.

"Please wait a moment, young master, I'll go get the silver notes."

In a short while, the shopkeeper pushed a 5200 tael silver note in front of her. Liu Siyue took the silver note in her hand. It was the first time she had ever seen a silver note with a face value of 1000 taels.

She tucked the silver notes into her bosom and thanked the shopkeeper, who smiled broadly and asked, "You even know which family's young master you are from? How should I address you?"

"We don't need to know about the shopkeeper. We only do business, nothing else."

"Alright, if you have any rare treasures in the future, you can bring them over. I promise you won't lose out."

"If it's the same type of bead, but with a different pattern inside, it's still priced the same."

"That's natural."

Liu Siyue casually took out a bead representing the 12 zodiac animals and placed it on the table. To her surprise, a lifelike golden dragon appeared, as if it were soaring through the sky.

The shopkeeper immediately tensed up. He was so excited that his hands trembled. He just stared at it quietly, as if trying to see something amazing in it. His boss was going to prosper, and he himself would rise to great heights. He never expected that such a small county like Lingshui could have such a treasure. It was truly a blessing from heaven for Pan Guicai.

The shopkeeper steadied himself. "Young master, I'll give you 1500 taels for this bead. Isn't that generous enough?"

She offered to raise the price, so these zodiac beads must be valuable. But we'd already agreed on a price, so she couldn't go back on her word. One should always keep their word.

"The shopkeeper is a straightforward person. This bead set is 12 beads in total, representing the twelve zodiac animals."

The shopkeeper told her to bring them all out, still charging 1500 taels for each one. Although each one cost 200 taels more, the value of just one dragon ball was immeasurable.

Liu Siyue arranged the beads on the tray. The shopkeeper was amazed when he saw the lifelike animals inside. He exclaimed that they were truly exquisite and wondered which master craftsman they were made of.

After completing the process, the shopkeeper calculated that the total amount was 18000 taels, but there was not enough money in the counter. "Young master, the amount of money to be transferred today is huge, and there is not enough money in the counter. We are still short 1 taels. Please wait here for a moment, and I will send someone to the bank to get the money."

Liu Siyue accepted 8000 taels of silver notes and waited outside the counter. The shop assistant even brought her a cup of tea.

The shopkeeper immediately instructed the accountant to fetch the money. Less than a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper came out with the silver notes. "10000 taels, please count them, young master."

After counting the money, Liu Siyue took out 1000 taels and asked the shopkeeper to exchange them for 100-tael silver notes. She then took out 100-tael silver notes and asked the shopkeeper to exchange them for loose silver.

"Shopkeeper, the transaction is complete, farewell!" She bowed to the shopkeeper and left gracefully.

Fearing she might be followed, she walked quickly. When she saw an empty alley, she slipped into her spatial dimension. This time, she was indeed followed, not by someone from the pawnshop, but by a street thug.

The thug was squatting across from the pawnshop. He saw Liu Siyue go in and take so long to come out, so he figured she must have a lot of money. He followed her after she came out of the pawnshop, but she suddenly disappeared when they reached the alley. He walked back and forth through the alley several times, but couldn't find a single person. "It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight," he muttered as he walked away.

Looking at the thugs outside, Liu Siyue thought to herself that she was still vigilant, otherwise it would be troublesome if she were targeted. She was in a good mood today, so she lay down on the bed and counted her money.

"Baby, look! Mommy earned so much money for you today. Aren't you happy?"

Okay, don't cry, I'll make you some milk now.

She mixed the milk and fed the baby, but the baby still cried. She touched the baby's head and it wasn't hot. Afraid that she might be wrong, she got a thermometer to measure the temperature, which was 36.5 degrees Celsius, which is normal.

She put the child down, untied the diaper, and discovered that the child's bottom was red and covered in small rashes.

She quickly searched online and found out it was eczema. Oh dear, she felt like a terrible mother. She quickly cleaned and dried the child. The room was warm with the air conditioning on, so she let the child lie naked on the bed and applied some baby powder. Perhaps feeling more comfortable, the child started playing.

She went to the supermarket and found some pure cotton towels to put under the baby's bottom, then put a diaper under the towels before holding the baby and starting to breastfeed.

When the child saw the pacifier, he was so excited that he waved his arms and legs and swallowed it in one gulp, sucking on it with great effort.

Liu Siyue put the child on the bed, went to the supermarket and brought a small crib in a trolley. It was made up comfortably inside.

She removed her makeup, changed her clothes, left the space, and headed straight for the Weaving Cloud Cloth Shop.

"Madam, you've arrived. What would you like to order?"

"Ah Fu, buy a few sets of women's clothes and some men's clothing. Take me to see them."

"Madam, please come with me to the second floor."

Liu Siyue bought five sets of men's clothing, four sets of middle-aged women's clothing, and clothes suitable for her age. The men's clothing was all made of the finest brocade. The middle-aged women's clothing included two sets of noblewoman's clothing and two sets of clothes for the head maid. The clothes suitable for herself were very ordinary, just fine cloth.

I bought so many so that I can easily change my clothes in the future, instead of always wearing the same outfit and being recognized by others at a glance.

Having money meant she could spend it freely. These 12 sets of clothes cost 110 taels and 400 coins, and Afu rounded it down to 110 taels for her.

"Madam, I'll have my servants deliver these clothes to your residence."

"No need, just pack it for me, I can carry it myself."

Afu packed two bundles for her, and Liu Siyue carried one on each shoulder as she left the cloth shop. She hadn't gone far when she entered an alley, went into her spatial dimension to change clothes, and headed to the next shop to sell her things.
