To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Li Yueyao sat woodenly on the couch, facing her chattering grandmother and her stepmother who was pretending to be serious with a handkerchief.

Zhang looked very disappointed: "I shouldn't have said this to you now that you're older, but life is full of bumps and bruises. You know the situation at home now. Although you're a concubine, your family hasn't treated you badly. Now you have servants living in your big house and your life is not much worse than before. Why did you have to cause trouble? What's the harm in getting beaten up? Every family lives like this.

If you are patient, life will slowly get better. After a year or two, you can have a child and you will be able to establish yourself. "

Li Yueyao: "What do you mean by standing firm? I was born with bad luck and my aunt passed away early. For so many years, I have served my stepmother and brothers and sisters without any quarrels or any bad intentions. You are my grandmother, how could you have the heart to push me into the fire pit?

Over the years, even if I'm a concubine's child, you can still develop feelings for me even if I raise a cat or a dog. You know exactly what kind of person he is. He wouldn't let go of any maidservant who was even slightly pretty. His first wife was driven to death by him. He's already over 40, so what good would it do me to stay with him?

He was hurt by his indulgence in his youth, and now he buys concubines to make him miserable. Do you know how I've been spending the past few days? There's not a single good spot on my body that he hasn't pinched, and he just enjoys watching his concubine scream for fun.

The concubine who had been with him for three years was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death by him. She could only dream of having children. That old concubine will never have the chance to be a mother in her life. Do you want this blessing? I have finally realized that our family is rotten to the core. I am sending my daughter away to be a concubine for one thousand and two taels of silver. If I am lucky, you will cling to me eagerly. If I am disgraced, you will all shrink your necks and run away faster than anyone else.

What kind of family is this? They're clearly hungry wolves that devour people without leaving any bones behind! No wonder they want to separate from you. They just look down on you, a bunch of maggots. And you still claim to be from a family of scholars and have the integrity of a scholar. Pah!

If you believe me, your ancestors' graves will be overgrown with grass. I wonder if you can spend the money you earned from selling me. Just wait and see the retribution of heaven's law of karma. Let's see which beasts the heavens can spare.

Zhang's face turned pale after being scolded: "You have grown wings and climbed up the social ladder. Since you look down on your mother's family, we should have less contact with them. If you have a difficult time in the future, don't come to us for help. We don't deserve to have you as a relative."

Li Yueyao turned around, got on the carriage and left without looking back.

Li Yueyao was in the car seeing Li Wenting's family preparing a banquet to celebrate, and tears started to fall down her face. Reincarnation is a skill. Although Yang is fierce, she really loves her child. As a woman, who wouldn't want to live the life that Xu Huizhen has? The couple has a good relationship, the parents-in-law are loving, and the son is smart and sensible.

My life has been ruined and I can only watch other people's happiness from afar.

Li Yujin was directing his men to butcher a pig when he looked up and saw a pale little face. He remembered that this was the granddaughter of the Li family, and according to seniority, he should call her "clan aunt." What kind of experience could a young girl of her prime have gone through to feel such a gloomy despair?

The banquet at Li Wenting's house was a great success. The guests all praised the Li family for using genuine ingredients in their dishes. They also couldn't help but envy the Li family for having survived for only a few years. With so many exiled prisoners, as long as Li Wenting's family was pardoned, even if it was only to restore their reputation, they would at least have climbed out of this quagmire.

After the banquet, the servants cleaned up and returned the tables and dishes they had borrowed from the neighbors. Some of the leftover food was given to the neighbors, and some was used by the servants to prepare the evening meal.

Yang sat on the armchair and took a sip of tea. "What a sin that old woman Zhang has committed. Yueyao, a tender-skinned child, was sold off by this tigress for a thousand taels of silver to a beast. That beast has brought disaster to several concubines."

Xu Huizhen was shocked. Zhang Shi sold her concubine out of hatred, but why did she sell her granddaughter? "Zhang Shi has completely lost her shame. Her family shouldn't be like this. They still have several thousand taels of silver, and they can make a living. How could she be so wicked and abuse someone like that?"

Yang wiped her eyes. "This family used to be so well-dressed and well-fed that they don't know how to make ends meet. His family got more land per head, and no one wants to suffer as a peasant. His family is not like ours. Huizhen, you and the two children can buy slaves from Silla to farm the land, but his family can only farm on their own. If they can't make ends meet, they have to buy grain and pay taxes. It's getting harder and harder."

Zhang was planning to use her granddaughter's influence to buy slaves from Silla to farm the land. She could even sell them for a small fortune. It's just a pity for Yueyao, a child of such outstanding character and appearance, yet she ended up like this. The Zhang family's lack of moral integrity means their branch is completely ruined.

Li Yujin ate and drank enough but could not sleep. He could not forget those desperate eyes. He did not sleep well that night. When he was having breakfast, Yang saw the dark circles under her precious grandson's eyes and was so distressed that she repeatedly called for the servants to boil two eggs.

The servant soon brought two peeled boiled eggs. Yang got up, took out a cotton handkerchief from the kang cabinet, wrapped the eggs in the handkerchief, tested the temperature, and then used the eggs to search the skin around Li Yujin's eyes.

"Your dear grandson, you didn't sleep well, did you? Studying is important, but you also have to take care of your health. Your delicate body can't stand being abused. After you finish your meal and digest it, go get some sleep."

Li Yujin told his grandmother what he had seen yesterday, and Yang again jumped up and down and scolded Zhang. Even if her grandson was kind-hearted, it was Zhang who was doing the evil.

Li Yujin was no longer angry after knowing the whole story. If nothing else worked, he could still make this evil beast die quietly.

The most disgusting thing about Li Yujin is that he is a pervert. This beast who tortures women and bullies the weak should be eliminated as soon as possible. It is a waste of rice.

Li Yueyao opened her eyes and a new day began. Every day seemed like a year to her. After breakfast, this tormented girl secretly rubbed the silver hairpin on the wall. She had really had enough of this kind of life. At worst, one life would be exchanged for another, and no one would think about it.

The hairpin was almost sharpened after a whole morning. At this moment, the whole house was in commotion. Soon, a maid banged on the door: "Aunt Li, something bad has happened. The master fell off his horse and broke his neck and died. Please come out quickly!"

Li Yueyao sat down on the ground, cried silently and murmured softly: "I'm dead now."

Li Yueyao quickly opened the door and saw that Madam Wen in the opposite room was also in disbelief, her pale face quickly flushing. The two of them supported each other and ran to the front yard, each wanting to see for themselves whether the demon was dead.
