Old Lady Shen stepped forward and slapped Old Lady Zeng twice. Old Lady Zeng raised her hand to slap back, but was grabbed tightly by a hand. She struggled hard, but found that the owner of the hand was very strong and her bones were almost crushed.

"Ouch! It hurts so much, Shen Mingzhu, you little bitch, let me go now."

Shen Mingzhu did not give her a chance to fight back. She slapped Zeng Lao Po on the other side of her face twice and warned her in a deep voice:

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today. If you dare to spread rumors and harm my family again, I'll make sure you die without a burial place."

Her voice was so cold that Old Lady Zeng trembled all over.

Old Mrs. Zeng spat out two front teeth with a wow. Her face was burning with pain. She wanted to fight back, but she met Shen Mingzhu's dark eyes. These eyes were like demons crawling out of hell, as if they wanted to send her to the eighteenth level of hell. Old Mrs. Zeng was so frightened that her whole body turned cold. She swallowed the curses and pointed at Old Mrs. Shen and cursed:

"Mr. Shen, you are bullying others. I will settle the score with you when my son comes back."

Old Mrs. Zeng left the Shen family as if fleeing after saying some harsh words.

Old Lady Shen put her hands on her waist and cursed: "Bah, you old bastard, you hurt someone and you want to take revenge? Come on, let's see if my Shen family is afraid of you?"

Then, she said to the villagers who were trying to stop the quarrel, "My Shen family is not a good family. We will not be lenient towards those who want to harm our family. From now on, we will not buy wild vegetables from Zeng Lao Mazi and Li Lao Pozi. As for others, as long as they don't say bad things about our family and don't harm our family, we will continue to buy them."

"By the way, in addition to wild vegetables, our family will purchase some fresh herbs in the future. If anyone doesn't know them, they can come to my house to learn how to identify herbs."

Boom! Old Lady Shen's words caused a huge uproar. When the villagers heard the good news, they no longer cared about Old Lady Zeng and Old Lady Li. They hurried home and asked their family members to come to the Shen's house to learn about herbs.

If you don't make money, you're a bastard. Who can't get along with money? Now the old Shen family is everyone's god of wealth, so we should be more respectful to the old Shen family in the future.

The wild vegetables in the surrounding mountains have been almost dug up. In order to make life easier for their families, many wives and mothers in the village have asked their husbands to go back to their parents' homes and bring their families to dig wild vegetables to sell.

Those who were watching the fun thought that the road to wild vegetables was blocked, but they didn't expect that there was a new way to make money. Now the Shen family has provided everyone with a new way to make money. The Shen family is the good people!

As for those two gossipy women, Old Lady Li and Old Lady Zeng, stay away from them from now on.

Old Mrs. Li was dumbfounded when she heard the news. The Shen family not only purchased wild vegetables, but also purchased medicinal herbs from the mountains. More importantly, the Shen family also taught everyone about medicinal herbs?

How could she be missing from such a good thing?

Mrs. Li immediately put on a flattering face, walked up to Mrs. Shen with a flattering look, bent over and said flatteringly:

"Mrs. Shen, I also listened to the slander of Zeng Lao Mazi. Please forgive me this time! Look at how pitiful my family is. There are more than a dozen people in my family! I rely on the money from selling wild vegetables to survive. Please give me a chance. I will definitely correct my mistakes and never spread rumors again."

Old Lady Shen pouted at Old Lady Li, "You ungrateful, ungrateful person! Although my family made a little money from buying wild vegetables, we also made money with you. But you spread rumors outside to harm our family. You want me to teach you about medicinal herbs? What the hell do you want!"

Old Mrs. Shen ignored the gloomy face of Old Mrs. Li, called Shen Mingzhu into the house, slammed the door, and locked Old Mrs. Li out.

Mrs. Zeng was beaten today. She returned home with her hair and clothes in disarray. She was pointed at and talked about along the way. She had no place to vent her anger. She happened to see Hu Erya and Hu Sanya coming back with baskets on their backs. She pointed at the two girls and yelled at them:

"Hu Erya, Hu Sanya, why don't you two little bitches come back soon? You are walking so slowly, are you looking for some wild men?"

Hearing their grandmother's horrifying curses, Hu Erya and Hu Daya shuddered and stopped subconsciously.

Old Mrs. Zeng became even angrier. She walked up to Hu Erya, grabbed her ear, and slapped her in the face with her backhand.

"Where's the money? Why are there so many wild vegetables left?"

"You useless bitch, what's the point of me keeping you? You can't even sell wild vegetables, I'll beat you to death."

Old Lady Zeng grabbed Hu Erya by the hair and walked into the yard, cursing her with obscene words as she walked. She then grabbed a broom from the corner and hit Hu Erya with it.

Hu Sanya was so scared that she started to cry and beg for mercy: "Grandma, please don't hit my sister. We are not being lazy. It's really because no one in the city buys wild vegetables and we can't sell them!"

"Grandma, we can't sell wild vegetables. Not only can we not sell them, but there are also hooligans who come to take advantage of my sister, some people steal wild vegetables, and some people come to collect protection fees. Grandma, really, if we hadn't met my elder sister, we wouldn't be able to come back."

Hu Sanya burst into tears when she recalled her experience of selling wild vegetables in the county town. The people in the county town were too cunning and terrible.

When Mrs. Zeng heard the news about Hu Daya, she let go of Hu Erya and was about to start scolding her when she saw Hu Daya twisting and turning into the yard, holding a handkerchief.

Mrs. Zeng immediately changed her expression and greeted her with a smile, "Why are you back, Daya? Aren't you going to receive guests tonight?"

Hu Daya felt sick when she saw the distorted face of Old Lady Zeng. She frowned and said, "Today I saw Erya and Sanya selling wild vegetables in the county town. How much can wild vegetables sell for? No one in the county town buys wild vegetables. You let them go to the county town like this, aren't you afraid that they will be kidnapped?"

Mrs. Zeng immediately stepped forward, bowed and smiled:

"Yes, yes, you are right. I will never let them go to the county town to sell wild vegetables again. Isn't it because our family is in financial difficulty and tight on money?"

Hu Daya shook her handkerchief and said disdainfully:

"Alright, alright, don't I know what kind of person you are? Haha, you just want money, right? Take it! Don't torture Erya and Sanya anymore. If you beat them up, how can you sell them for money?"

Hu Daya threw the purse away and walked away without looking back. Before leaving, she said sarcastically:

"Humph! You really laugh at the poor but not at the prostitutes. What immoral things did I do in my previous life to be born into such a family?"

After Hu Daya left, the flattering smile on Mrs. Zeng's face disappeared. She suddenly changed her expression and yelled at Hu Erya and Sanya with disgust, then happily walked into the house holding the purse.

When Hu Erya saw that Old Lady Zeng had left, she began to sob. Hu Sanya patted Hu Erya on the back and comforted her softly:

"Sister, don't cry. Everything will be fine when we grow up. When we grow up, we can work in a brothel and earn money like Sister Daya, and then grandma will treat us well."

Hearing this, Hu Erya cried even harder. Her voice was a little loud, and she was beaten again by Old Lady Zeng.

What happened in the Shen family today spread throughout the village, and the whole village was in an uproar. After hearing what his wife said, the village chief slammed the table in excitement and asked in disbelief:

"Really? Auntie San is really willing to teach the villagers to identify medicine?"

The village head's wife poured a glass of water and drank it, then said, "Really, Third Auntie promised in front of everyone today. Not only that, but Auntie also said that in the future, Uncle's family will not only buy wild vegetables, but also medicinal herbs."

She walked up to the village chief and whispered in his ear:

"Let me tell you! Ru Hai went to Bailu Academy. It is said that the dean of Bailu Academy admires him very much. Things are going to change for the old Shen family."

A trace of excitement flashed across the eyes of the village chief. "That's good, that's good. In the past, my cousin's family favored the eldest wife. Look, what has the eldest wife done over the years? Others don't know, but I know. The two people in the eldest wife! None of them studied hard. Now it's good. The third wife has risen, and the old Shen family also knows how to take care of the village."

The village chief's wife quickly reminded him: "Don't go out and say this."

The village chief nodded in agreement, his eyes full of hope.

The Shen family has had good food during this period, and the family has been back on track. The Shen family members have learned about herbs and have earned money, and they are all very excited.

On the day of rest, Shen Lao San came back to rest and told everyone a good news. He was going to take part in this year's county examination. Shen Mingshu also said that he wanted to take the Tongsheng examination this year, which surprised everyone in the Shen family.

Next, the old man mentioned that he was going to take the provincial examination next year and become a juren.

When this bomb was dropped, everyone in the second room was so shocked that they were speechless, but Shen Mingzhu covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Everyone in their family was in a state of involution!
