Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

The barren mountains on Nanzhou Island were also dug up completely. The villagers found a few pieces of gold ore but no gold mine cave. Instead, they found a coal mine.

The afterglow of the setting sun lazily sprinkled on the barren hills that had been dug up and were in a mess, and the villagers gathered together to talk.

"Alas, I have been digging for half a month and found nothing. It is such a waste of effort."

"We still have coal, right? It's not a big loss."

"This coal can't be sold at a good price here."

The coal consumption in the Yazhou area is relatively low, but the amount of coal required in the cold northern regions is very high, which makes it even more necessary to develop maritime trade in this area.

At this moment, Jiang Yan calmly walked around the barren mountain, then slowly walked to the villagers, coughed a few times, and suggested: "Fellow villagers, since you have reclaimed this barren mountain, why not spread some fertilizer and plant some fruit trees, so that you will not waste your hard work."

The villagers saw his smiling face and felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

But this suggestion is indeed good. After all, the effort has been spent, and it would be unreasonable not to plant something.

Besides, Jiang Yan has always made great contributions to the village, so there will definitely be no harm in listening to him.

So they all agreed, "Then we will listen to your advice and plant some fruit trees."

Jiang Nianwei has already cultivated high-quality lychee, golden pillow durian, mango, jackfruit and other fruit tree seedlings suitable for planting in tropical areas in the space.

"Everyone, I am not giving you these fruit trees for free. You need to spend silver to buy them. Each sapling costs twenty coins."

The villagers looked embarrassed, and they had other concerns in their hearts: "Miss Jiang, you also know the situation in our village. We finally have a better life... We can afford to buy these fruit trees, but if they don't bear fruit and can't be sold, then we will lose money again, right?"

Jiang Nianwei explained confidently, "Since I asked you to plant fruit trees, I naturally took this into consideration. I will definitely not let you do a business that loses money. You spend money to buy not only fruit trees, but also planting techniques. I can also guarantee that there will be a market for them and help you sell them!"

Seeing that they were still hesitating, she continued, "When have I ever lied to you? I am doing this for the good of the village. You are willing to buy it. Whoever plants trees on this barren mountain will own the land in the future."

Several elderly women took the lead in responding and donated money to buy fruit tree seedlings. "I believe Miss Jiang, since she came, she has brought a lot of benefits to our fishing village."

Everyone started to agree: "I want to buy it too!"

In this way, most of the prepared fruit tree seedlings were bought, and Jiang Nianwei planned to plant the remaining ones at home to take the lead and observe the growth status and cycle of the fruit trees cultivated in these spaces in the fields.

During this period, Jiang Nianwei stayed on the island to plant fruit trees, and her family members would come to help if they were free.

Jiang Nianwei taught the villagers who bought the fruit trees how much water was needed for daily irrigation, how much fertilizer was needed, and what pesticides were needed.

Since this was bought with money, the villagers were extremely attentive to this matter and no one dared to slack off.

Baihualou also reopened. Jing Zhuo was busy making muskets, so everything in the restaurant was left to Nanny Liu. She handled it very thoughtfully and everything was in order, so Jiang Nianwei didn't have to worry about anything.

After the fruit trees were planted, Jiang Nianwei found the shop that the dentist had been looking for.

The dealer introduced with a big smile: "Although this place is in a remote location in the city, it hides something extraordinary in its tranquility. The price is low and the space is spacious. As for those prosperous shops in the bustling streets, it is difficult to find an opportunity to transfer them at the moment."

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Qiu Xuemei looked around and thought the environment was indeed good, but she could not hide a trace of worry: "This place is indeed elegant and pleasant, and it makes people yearn for it. But I am afraid that it is too remote and will be deserted in the future, affecting our business."

Jiang Nianwei nodded in agreement, but she also considered another aspect. "The cosmetics we sell are effective and we have accumulated a group of regular customers. I think business shouldn't be a problem. Good wine needs no bush."

Most of the regular customers were introduced by Wu Xiangxiang and they did not seem like ordinary people.

Although the location of this shop is not in a prominent place in the bustling downtown, it has a unique sense of tranquility and elegance.

Moreover, as the shopkeeper of this shop, the eldest sister-in-law is not like Yunniang who can hide in the back and focus on the craftsmanship. She needs to do the work herself.

After some discussion, the two decided to buy the shop. The shop had two floors, and after some decoration, the second floor could also be used as a place for daily rest.

Although Yazhou City is pitifully small now, its future may not be certain.

This is already the most remote area in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and officials here can still make some money, let alone those high-ranking officials in the capital.

And one day, she will bring her business to the capital.

Now that the shop is open, the demand for skin care products is not as great as before. It is enough for her to make them alone. It is time to scale up the business.

Jiang Nianwei found a suitable piece of land in a village near Yazhou City, bought it, and planned to build a factory specifically for the production and processing of these skin care products.

The land is surrounded by flower fields and is not far from the beach. Coconut trees can be seen everywhere. There is no need to worry about raw materials, but building the factory will take some time.

The wages of the surrounding workers were not high, so to be on the safe side, Jiang Nianwei called Chunyu over and asked her to help supervise the work.

At first, Chunyu was afraid that he did not have the ability, but his shrewd calculations in the Marquis' Mansion came in handy here, and he was able to work like a fish in water. He usually ate and lived in Baihua Tower, which was convenient.

On this day, Qian Song specially booked a private room at Xianyu Boat to entertain Li Kun, and also specially invited Wei Qing to come along.

Before leaving, Qian's mother was still muttering at home: "Look at our Song'er, how sincerely he treats you, and even remembers to bring you along for such a joyful occasion as a banquet. You are pregnant now, so it's time for you to bring some joy to our family."

Wei Qing felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She had been silent at first, but she, who was used to forbearance, actually retorted:

"Mother-in-law, you are wrong. My daughter-in-law has recovered well recently. But I can't give birth to a child alone. If my husband doesn't want to be close to me, how can I give birth to a child alone?"

Qian's mother felt that she was becoming more and more presumptuous. "Why don't you examine your own reasons? Why does Song'er avoid you? Isn't it because he is tired of you?"

When Qian Song returned home, he saw her dressed so old-fashionedly, and he couldn't help but frowned, "What old-fashioned clothes are you wearing? Change into something with a delicate color and dress up carefully, don't lose my face."

It was him who usually asked her to dress like this, but now he wanted her to dress up? How could she not be confused?

Only after she changed into a brightly colored dress did Qian Song reluctantly nod.

After Jiang Nianwei's reminder last time, she had been secretly observing Qian Song these days and found that he was indeed often sneaking around in the small kitchen.

Wei Qing couldn't help but start to wonder if Qian Song had secretly drugged her.

Moreover, after Qian's mother's leg healed, her temper not only did not improve, but she became even more harsh and harsh on her, and bullied her even worse.

While cleaning the room, she discovered that her mother-in-law had hidden a small rag doll with her name embroidered on it. What was even more frightening was that the doll was covered with embroidery needles. She was so scared that her heart tightened and a chill went straight to her bones.

All of this frightened her.

When Wei Qing followed Qian Song to Baihua Tower, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But when she found out that the person her husband had invited to the banquet was Li Kun, her heart suddenly sank.

Li Kun looked her up and down, and his scrutinizing gaze made her extremely uncomfortable.

But Qian Song seemed to have not noticed it. Instead, he moved around Li Kun more flatteringly, and said attentively, "Mr. Li, please take a seat."

He glanced at Wei Qing who was standing stiffly beside him, and gently pushed her shoulder, urging her, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and catch up. Don't keep Master Li waiting for too long."

Jiang Nianwei, who was standing on the opposite side of the Baihua Building, had seen this scene clearly, so she said to Ah Zhao beside her, "It looks like Li Kun is going to cause trouble again. Can you help me?"

Ah Zhao understood, "No problem."

In the hidden box of the Xianyu Boat, the flickering candlelight illuminated Li Kun's deep eyes. He knew very well that this invitation was not just for a meal.

Qian Song whispered in his ear: "Mr. Li, after my wife drinks that glass of wine...you can..."

Li Kun smiled meaningfully, glancing at Wei Qing's graceful back, "Qian Song, why didn't I see before that you are so sensible? Don't worry, if my father needs help in the future, I will definitely recommend you, a sensible person, first."

Qian Song first pretended to express his gratitude, and then began to pour wine.

Wei Qing saw this and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her brows. She said softly, "My dear, I really can't hold my liquor. I'm afraid I'll spoil everyone's fun."

Qian Song consoled her, "Madam, Master Li is here today, so please give me some face and have a sip of wine just to celebrate the occasion, okay? I will definitely not make you feel uncomfortable."

Wei Qing had now entered the tiger's den and was in a difficult situation. "I..."

In an instant, the gentle husband's expression suddenly changed. Seeing Wei Qing's hesitation, he raised the wine glass mercilessly and pressed it to her lips, "Drink it quickly."

Wei Qing struggled in vain and was forced to drink the glass of wine. The spicy taste rushed straight into her throat, causing her to cough repeatedly.

In a moment, she felt dizzy and unable to move. She was secretly shocked to realize that Qian Song really had ulterior motives... He really wanted to use her as a plaything and give her away to others.

"Mr. Li, I will leave first. Please enjoy your meal slowly..." Qian Song quietly left the room.

Li Kun waved his hands. He had been ordered around by Jing Zhuo these days and felt depressed. Today he could finally relax...

Just as he was ready to do something bad, his head was suddenly covered by a black cloth. Then, a series of rapid and fierce punches poured down like a rainstorm, landing on his body accurately.

He was caught off guard, and cries of pain rose and fell, echoing in the air around him: "Ouch! Who is this blind bastard? How dare you treat me like this! Do you know who I am?"

Ah Zhao cleared his throat and imitated Qian Song's voice and said, "I've long disliked you, a fat guy. You dare to humiliate my wife. Today I'll make you suffer!"

Jiang Nianwei took the opportunity to quickly take Wei Qing and escape through the window.

After Li Kun fell completely silent, A Zhao followed him and left immediately.

Qian Song, standing outside the door, had mixed feelings. He was suppressing his emotions, but he couldn't help but stick to the door, wanting to listen to what was going on inside.

It was not until an hour later, when there was no response after knocking on the door, that Li Kun's men broke in.

There was no sign of Wei Qing in the room. Only Li Kun, with a cloth bag on his head, lying on the ground, dying.

The men quickly helped Li Kun up and untied the cloth bag on his head. Li Kun was beaten black and blue, and was still cursing, "Qian Song, you bastard, I... I only slept with your wife because I respect her, and you actually tricked me!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something strange in his mouth, and it turned out to be a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood, among which was a broken front tooth.

He was so angry that he kicked Qian Song hard without even standing still. "How dare you plot against me? Tie him up!"

Qian Song's face turned pale, and he tried to defend himself: "Mr. Li, it's unfair! Even if I, Qian Song, had the courage of heaven, I would not dare to have such disrespectful thoughts towards you..."

Li Kun was unwilling to believe what he said. It turned out that Qian Song had been deliberately planning to set him up.

Inside Baihua Tower, Wei Qing felt an unpleasant smell rushing into her nose, and she suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and found that the person in front of her was Jiang Nianwei.

She couldn't help but murmured, "I was just..."

"Now, you can finally see clearly what kind of plot and calculation is behind the usually righteous and gentle husband?"

Wei Qing shook her head silently, feeling terrified, "I didn't realize that he had such a dirty thought in his mind, how ridiculous!"

"At this moment, you need to act decisively, use offense as defense, and quickly end this evil relationship in order to protect yourself."

Qian Song's ruthless face and her mother-in-law's arrogant attitude of bullying others flashed through Wei Qing's mind. The memories of the past seemed so pale and powerless at this moment, and could no longer be a hindrance in her heart.

"Miss Jiang, what you said is absolutely right... I have made up my mind, and I will do as you say."

……

Li Kun thought that Qian Song had framed him, and he was furious and vowed to make him pay the price.

First he gave him a severe beating, breaking one of his arms, and then he used his power to make him lose his position as inspector.

Qian Song was unable to understand all the inexplicable things that had happened. He returned home in a daze and found that Wei Qing had been waiting for him at home for a long time.

"Shameless bitch, it's you! Did you team up with outsiders to frame me?"

Seeing that he was calm now, Wei Qing only regretted why she was deceived by him in the first place. "I framed you? It was you who wanted to give me to Li Kun, but now you blame me?"

"Go and explain clearly to Master Li, this is all your fault!"

"Do you still think I'm a foolish woman trapped in a deep house? You secretly gave me drugs that made me weaker and weaker. It was just a despicable way for you to cover up your own inability. People said that I couldn't continue the family line, but who knew that it was you who ruined your body? You know, words are like knives, and every word cuts deeply into my heart."

"This is the divorce agreement. If you sign it now, I will keep everything a secret for you. But if you insist on not changing your ways, I will walk out of this door and expose your true colors to the world! You are a hypocritical sanctimonious person who has already contracted a disease and lost the essence of being a man!"

Qian Song was so angry that he covered his chest, "You...what nonsense are you talking about?"

But with trembling hands, he picked up the brush and wrote his name on the divorce paper. Then he said like a devil, "Don't tell anyone a word, or I will strangle you to death!"

"I have investigated all of this, and I have not wronged you in the slightest...Looking back to the time when I first entered your Qian family, we had a brief period of affection and harmony, but my mother-in-law's orders were hard to disobey. She ordered me to personally serve her medicine, wash clothes, and cook soups every day, and I obeyed her orders without complaint.

She choked up and continued, "Little did you know, I was already pregnant with our child at that time, but because of overwork, the fetus's breathing became unstable and I ended up having spotting. I thought it was the root of the disease that made me unable to get pregnant again. In order to avoid making you sad, I never told you anything."

Her voice became more and more firm. "Now that your Qian family has no descendants, this is a small consolation for my innocent unborn child. You will never be able to repay me for the rest of your life!"

Qian Song fell to his knees, feeling unbelievable. When Wei Qing had just married, he had not yet lingered in brothels, so it was indeed possible that she was pregnant. And the child was gone, and it was all caused by his mother.

Qian's mother, who was standing nearby, finally heard everything they said. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously your weak constitution. How can you blame my child without any reason!"

Just as Qian's mother was about to raise her hand to teach her a lesson, Wei Qing followed the method Jiang Nianwei taught her and accurately inserted a silver needle into Qian's mother's acupuncture point.

She continued, "You use the inconvenience of your legs as an excuse to control me. You use the pain as a weapon to torture my heart every day. Since you like lying down so much, then lie down forever and never get up again! This can be considered revenge for my lost child."

Mother Qian felt an indescribable numbness and tingling pain spreading to her legs. Her legs trembled uncontrollably and she finally fell to her knees powerlessly, unable to get up by her own strength.

"You two disabled people, mother and son, should live together. I will not serve you anymore!"
