The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

But she would not tolerate Shen Lian's arrogance. So, she said calmly: "Sister Lian, you have your own ideas, and I have my own way of life. Everyone has their own way of living. Learning skills is good, but remember that inner cultivation is more important."

After hearing what Shen Yan said, Shen Lian felt a little dissatisfied, but she also knew that it was not easy for her sister to change.

She could only grit her teeth and say, "Sister, just continue to be a good person and see who has the last laugh."

The atmosphere between the two became awkward and tense. Shen Lian turned and left, while Shen Yan silently closed the door, her heart full of helplessness and regret about the dispute.

She didn't want to fall out with Shen Lian, but she couldn't compromise her principles either.

Shen Yan thought that after the New Year, she would have to find a way to do business, make more money, and move to another place.

At that time, we wouldn’t have to live in these alleys and could be farther away from the Shen family.

Song Yunfeng returned home and met Shen Yan, and the two sat down to discuss business matters.

Shen Yan proposed to Song Yunfeng her idea of ​​opening a small shop to sell daily necessities and handicrafts, hoping to increase the family's income.

Song Yunfeng frowned after hearing Shen Yan's plan: "Yan'er, do you know how risky it is to open a store? Besides, I'm working in the county government office now. I'm so busy that I can't even take care of my family. I don't have time to help you run your business."

Shen Yan gently patted Song Yunfeng's hand and said with a smile: "Husband, I know you are very busy on duty, and I don't expect you to help me wholeheartedly. I just hope you can support me, at least mentally."

Song Yunfeng looked at Shen Yan's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He nodded: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will fully support you. Although I can't help, I will try my best to create a better living environment for you."

After listening to Song Yunfeng's words, Shen Yan was filled with gratitude. She knew that with her husband's support, she would have greater motivation to pursue her dreams.

She was determined to work hard to do business well, bring more income to her family and let them live a better life.

So, Shen Yan began to prepare for opening a store. She actively looked for a suitable store location and prepared the necessary goods and funds.

Although Zhang Dashan also opened a shop and Shen Yan could get some money from her uncle, the cloth shop was not profitable and it was already very good to just make ends meet. So since the cloth shop opened until now, Shen Yan has never asked her uncle for money.

Shen Yan thought that the dowry was from her mother, and her mother's money was from her maternal grandparents. It was reasonable to help her uncle start a business, but as for her, she had to rely on herself.

But right now, the most important thing is to have a good New Year.

Shen Yan didn't like Shen Lian. This girl was good at pretending to be pitiful and well-behaved, so Shen Xiucai liked her more. As for his eldest daughter, Shen Yan, he kept calling her a "beast". The father and daughter had not spoken to each other for a long time.

Shen Yan didn't want to reconcile with the Shen family. After all, the letter of severance had been written. She had no relationship with the Shen family anymore, and she wouldn't need to support a scumbag like Shen Xiucai in the future.

In the past, when Shen Yan was still unmarried, Shen Lian always ridiculed her, said bad things about her, and humiliated her in various ways, which made Shen Yan very lacking in confidence. At one point, she thought she was very bad, not only fat and ugly, but also very bad.

But that was the original owner. Now Shen Yan has traveled through time from the postmodern era and won't fall for it. No matter how Shen Lian ridicules her, she can remain calm and even fight back.

Moreover, Shen Yan still holds a grudge now.

Although Shen Yan didn't want to reconnect with the Shen family, she still felt a little unhappy.

She recalled the past, the sarcasm and humiliation that Shen Lian had inflicted on her. That feeling had once devastated her, but now, she had learned to face it calmly and had the ability to fight back.

Now Shen Yan has learned to be strong and confident, and she no longer lets Shen Lian’s words affect her mentality.

However, Shen Yan still retains anger and dissatisfaction with the Shen family in her heart.

She clearly remembered all the injustices they had treated her, especially Shen Xiucai, whose derogatory names she used made her unable to let go.

Therefore, she had no intention of repairing her relationship with the Shen family. She was ready to live independently and no longer needed the support or maintenance of the Shen family.

Shen Yan is determined to live the life she wants without being disturbed or restrained by anyone.

Soon, the news that Shen Yan once sold paper-cuts in the town spread. In the alley, neighbors would sometimes come to inquire about the sale, and if they happened to see Shen Yan selling paper-cuts, they would buy a few.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I bought some paper-cuts and pasted them on the windows to make them festive.

As the New Year approaches, more and more people come to buy paper-cuts.

The alley was bustling with people and neighbors were telling each other about Shen Yan's craftsmanship and praising her exquisite paper-cutting skills.

Whenever someone comes to Shen Yan's house, she greets them warmly and shows them her various carefully crafted paper-cut works.

People stopped to watch, marveling at the beauty and magic of the paper-cutting.

They chose their favorite paper-cuts not only to celebrate the New Year, but also because they were attracted and inspired by Shen Yan's craftsmanship.

Some neighbors would chat with Shen Yan while choosing and buying paper-cuts.

They shared their family's preparations for the New Year, talked about New Year customs and festive activities, and a warm atmosphere filled the shop.

Shen Yan looked at the endless stream of people coming to buy paper-cuts, and her heart was filled with relief and joy.

The results of her hard work have been recognized and affirmed, and it has also added a warm and festive atmosphere to the neighborhood.

At this special moment, Shen Yan felt her own value and significance.

Although the money given by the villagers was not as much as those given by the rich people in the town, Shen Yan also ran a small business. She thought that making less money was still making money, and if she saved it up, wouldn't it be more?

Wang Jun will go to school next year. Aunt Wang’s family is in a difficult financial situation, so she has to pay for Wang Jun’s tuition.

On the other hand, Zhao knew that her daughter was scolded and did not get any benefit from Shen Yan, so she came to the house angrily early the next morning.

"Shen Yan, open the door, you beast!"

"This is your sister, who thinks about you every day and came to see you yesterday, but you scolded her back. Is there any justice in this world?!"

Zhao's noisy noise attracted a crowd of onlookers, who began pointing and talking, discussing this family matter.

The crowd of onlookers talked about it, and someone said with pity: "Alas, I heard that Mrs. Shen has always had a hard time, but you can't be so cruel to your sister."

Another neighbor echoed, "Yes, everyone knows how hard Shen Yan worked. It was not easy for her to marry into our community alone."

Someone interrupted and said, "But the daughter of the Zhao family is not an easy person to deal with. I heard that she often causes trouble."
