In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

"Thank you for your kind words, Master! Qiu Rong is willing to share your burdens and will do his best!"

Qiu Rong was overjoyed and immediately took a few steps back, bowing respectfully.

Jiang Mianmian nodded, and after inquiring about the recent situation at the mine from everyone, she asked them to leave.

Only Qiu Rong remained in the room. She took out a contract of indenture and said, "Tomorrow, your status will no longer be that of a slave."

[Qiu Rong, Occupation: Resident of Taoyuan, Special Occupation: Head Manager of Gujing Mine.]

[…After binding, you will receive a Peach Blossom House, one set of linen clothing, one set of cotton clothing…Daily rations: 8 ounces of white rice/white flour, 4 ounces of brown rice/black flour, 3 ounces of meat, 3 ounces of fruits and vegetables, one egg, and one bucket of clean water…Daily base points: 30; one-time reward points upon completion of the task are not fixed…]

Qiu Rong tightened his grip on the indenture. "So much stuff? Every day...every single day?"

"Yes, but since you're spending a lot of time at the mine now, these things will still be automatically put back into your Peach Blossom House, and I'll deliver them to you every now and then."

The supplies that originally belonged to twenty slaves at the mine also appeared automatically every day in the slave area of ​​Peach Blossom Spring. Jiang Mianmian didn't know the principle behind this, but it didn't cost her any merit points. It was just a bit troublesome, as she had to deliver them all at once.

Qiu Rong wouldn't mind at all; as long as he had things, this would be like living the life of a god!

He nodded repeatedly and quickly registered his identity.

Jiang Mianmian led him into Taoyuan, and the two chose a house in the village and gave him some daily necessities.

Qiu Rong happily circled around the room a few times, then came over somewhat awkwardly and asked in a low voice, "Um, Master, may I let my wife and child move in?"

"Of course, but they can only be bound to the identity of ordinary residents when they come here. They won't have as many things as you every day. However, if your wife has any other skills, you can let her learn them, and the children can also go to Taoyuan Academy to study."

Jiang Mianmian slapped her forehead, realizing she had completely forgotten about it.

From now on, she'll have to keep an eye on married men and families, and make sure they're not separated. Seriously.

"An academy? We still have an academy here?"

"Of course."

Qiu Rong looked regretful. "I have three daughters who can't go to school. I wish I could have a son."

"Manager Qiu is wrong. In Peach Blossom Spring, boys and girls are the same. As long as you have the ability, you can earn points. Moreover, Peach Blossom Spring Academy is open to both men and women!"

Jiang Mianmian corrected his thinking and led him out of Peach Blossom Spring.

After settling things at the ancient well iron mine, the two went to the Qiu family together.

After sending the Qiu family mother and daughters to Taoyuan, Jiang Mianmian headed straight for another iron mine. Everything was fine there, so it seemed that the person behind it all was incompetent; he could only take care of one person and not the other.

After collecting everything that needed to be collected and issuing a recruitment task, Jiang Mianmian followed the trail of Zi Gu and found the Fire Squad from before.

The captain, alone, did not look back at the fire station, but instead walked deeper into the mountains and forests.

Jiang Mianmian followed far behind him, keeping up for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. She found him too much trouble and kicked him over, saying, "Why do you walk so slowly? You're such a waste."

"what!"

Che Liuyi's head fell into a pile of leaves, and his eyeballs were almost injured by branches.

He was so frightened that he scrambled to his feet, finally managing to sit up straight. He looked around and saw it was that shrew from before. His anger flared up instantly. "Are you crazy? Why are you following me?!"

"I hate talking nonsense, so you'd better answer my questions honestly."

Jiang Mianmian stepped on his head.

Che Liu's head was stomped into the pile of leaves again. After struggling for a few moments, he realized that this woman was ridiculously strong!

He had no choice but to beg for mercy, "Let me go first, how can I tell you what you want to know?"

"You have no right to make demands."

Jiang Mianmian's voice was icy.

After a stick of incense.

Che Liu was bound and enslaved, and thrown into Peach Blossom Spring.

Jiang Mianmian went straight to the Yuan family's residence, where she saw Old Master Yuan looking on expectantly at the gate.

"Mianmian, you're finally back... Hey? Where are you going? I'm right here."

Master Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and the person who had just appeared had already run away? No, if she didn't come looking for him, then who was she looking for?

A meaningful smile played on his lips. Was he going to find Pei'er? Sure enough, his Pei'er was dashing and charming; even Mianmian, that girl…

"what!"

A piercing scream suddenly came from the inner courtyard.

Master Yuan's legs went weak. "Who's calling me? What's wrong?"

The butler quickly supported him, "It sounds like it's coming from Madam's courtyard, sir. Let's go take a look."

The two hurried towards the inner courtyard.

Jiang Mianmian had already grabbed Madam Yuan by the neck and laughed, "I really didn't expect it, Madam Yuan, you have quite the appetite. We've only met a few times, and you want my things, and you want my life too?"

"Hmm~"

Madam Yuan felt as if her eyeballs were about to pop out, and the suffocating sensation made her vision go black in waves.

Her personal maid rushed over, trying to pull Jiang Mianmian away.

"Slap! Get out if you don't want to die!"

Jiang Mianmian slapped her back, and with her other hand, she loosened her grip slightly and pushed her forward forcefully. "Why isn't Madam Yuan saying anything? Is she just naturally averse to talking?"

"You... huh?"

Madam Yuan collapsed to the ground.

Her throat was burning with pain. Was she not going to speak?! No, she couldn't speak at all! That brat Jiang Mianmian, she's a complete lunatic!

"What...what happened?"

Master Yuan rushed in from outside, shouting, "Jiao Niang! Your neck!"

"master!"

Hope ignited in Madam Yuan's eyes, and as she turned around, tears streamed down her face. "Ouch, it hurts so much!"

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Miss Mianmian, what happened?"

Seeing the bright red finger marks around his beautiful bride's neck, Master Yuan was heartbroken.

However, he did not expect that this was only the beginning.

Jiang Mianmian stepped on Madam Yuan's face, "Master Yuan, you don't know yet, do you? Those people at the Gujing Iron Mine dared to act so recklessly because you, my beautiful wife, were backing them up! I thought Master Yuan was being tough and didn't want to give me the iron mine, so he deliberately tripped me up. So that's the root of the problem!"

Master Yuan was greatly surprised. "How could this be? My daughter is always so gentle and delicate that she wouldn't even step on an ant."

"Really? Then how do you think your little Pei'er lost her legs?"

Jiang Mianmian had no evidence and mainly relied on speculation and fabrication!

She only learned today that this Madam Yuan was more than ten years younger than Master Yuan and was Yuan Pei's stepmother!
