My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang needed help, but she didn't expect that before she could even talk to the Mu and Zhou families in detail, someone would come to her door offering their services.

That day, just as lunch was about to be served, Wu Xialian came to the door carrying a few radishes.

As soon as Madam Nie saw her, she said, "We don't need radishes now."

Wu Xialian smiled and said, "I'm not here to sell radishes, I'm giving them to you as a gift."

Nie had never personally gone to the market to buy vegetables before, and with the rise in food prices after the war, she didn't realize at first that she had been ripped off when buying radishes.

But after walking around the village several times yesterday and asking about prices at several different places, she quickly realized that she had been ripped off.

Someone who takes advantage of her ignorance and tries to ruin her life is definitely not a good person.

She refused again, saying, "I can't accept something for nothing. Our two families have nothing to do with each other, so I dare not accept your carrot."

Wu Xialian, having been given a cold shoulder, lost her initial smile. She thought to herself, "Why am I being so arrogant with a refugee from elsewhere?"

She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not here to give to you, I'm here to give to Madam Lu. Move aside and don't block the way."

Hearing the noise, Ji Yunshuang came out of the house and said, "Our family has no connection with you, so I won't accept the radishes."

Wu Xialian's smile froze, but she quickly stuffed the radish into Ji Yunshuang's hand, saying, "Won't we get to know each other better if we spend more time together? This is one of my own, big and tender, it's delicious."

Ji Yunshuang didn't answer. She looked Wu Xialian up and down and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Wu Xialian was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a benefit. When Ji Yunshuang asked, she honestly revealed her intentions: "Let my husband and younger brother work for you! With more people helping, your house can be built sooner, don't you think?"

As she spoke, she waved behind her, pulled the two men to show Ji Yunshuang, and kept praising them.

Upon seeing the two men, Ji Yunshuang refused them without hesitation, saying, "I already have enough workers at home, we don't need any more."

Seeing Ji Yunshuang refuse, Wu Xialian immediately retorted angrily, "Did that gossipy woman Gao Lan say something bad about my family to you? Let me tell you, Lu—"

Ji Yunshuang interrupted her, saying, "It's not what Gao Lan said, it's just that I think the two of them aren't a good match."

As soon as Wu Xialian's younger brother arrived, he stared at her lecherously, while her husband was hunched over, looking listless and obviously a lazybones.

She would never call a lecherous lazybones to her house to do chores.

But Wu Xialian felt that her husband and younger brother were both excellent, and that Ji Yunshuang's refusal to let them work at home must have been due to Gao Lan's gossip.

She hated Gao Lan and Ji Yunshuang to the core, and that very night she began spreading gossip about them everywhere.

Despite the delicious aroma wafting from the Fang family's old house every day, the Lu family actually couldn't afford to feed their workers anything good.

It was all boiled pig offal, and the offal hadn't been washed properly. She said that the boy from the Li family next door went to work at the Lu family's house and then came back and said that the Lu family's pig offal hadn't been washed properly, probably to make the workers feel disgusted so they would eat less and have it served as a dish a few more times.

This is to warn everyone not to work for the Lu family anymore. The Lu family is so stingy that those who go to work for them might not even get paid in the end.

It is also said that Gao Lan is resourceful; she became very close to the Lu family as soon as they arrived in the village.

However, if she were a member of the Lu family, she wouldn't refuse such a good offer that came to her door.

Several women who were chatting with her overheard this and hurriedly inquired about what good news it was.

Wu Xialian then began to speak hesitantly about how one time she returned from working in the fields and saw Gao Lan and the second son of the Lu family secretly enter the grove.

Curious about what the two were doing, she secretly followed them. Before she even got close, she heard those kinds of sounds coming from the woods.

She was so embarrassed that she quickly grabbed her luggage and ran away.

Poor Wang Erniu, Gao Lan must have cheated on him countless times behind his back.

He knew nothing at all, and foolishly worked for the Lu family every day, helping them repair their house.

After saying that, she pretended to give a few more instructions, telling everyone not to spread this around, as it would be bad if word got out.

Everyone verbally agreed, but in reality, they couldn't wait to share this exciting news with their acquaintances as soon as they turned around.

Within a few days, the rumors that Wu Xialian had deliberately spread spread throughout the village.

Gao Lan felt that the villagers had been looking at her strangely lately.

However, she has been busy harvesting grain these past few days and has not paid attention to the strange looks from others.

She spent the last two nights visiting several villages in the surrounding area and bought all the grain she could find.

Watching the grain being hauled back cart after cart, Ji Yunshuang felt immense joy. However, she still felt that this wasn't enough.

Even though she already had plenty of food in her space, she still wanted to buy lots and lots of food and continue to stockpile it in her space.

She knew this was a psychological illness caused by the decade of the apocalypse.

It's not the end of the world anymore, and there are already so many supplies in the space, she doesn't actually need to hoard food anymore.

But if hoarding food makes her happy, so what's wrong with hoarding? Isn't the point of life to be happy?

However, if she wanted to stockpile more grain, the money in her hands alone wouldn't be enough; she needed to start a business.

She took out the stir-fried peas she had prepared in advance and started talking to Gao Lan about how to sell them.

"Let everyone try it first, and if they like it, then they can buy it."

Ji Yunshuang took out the bamboo tubes she had prepared earlier. "Two copper coins for each bamboo tube. At the beginning, we can say it's an opening promotion: buy two bamboo tubes and get one free. Later, we'll say buy five bamboo tubes and get one free."

Gao Lan was a little worried, "This bamboo tube costs two copper coins, will anyone buy it?"

Seeing that she was still not confident, Ji Yunshuang said, "I happen to be going to the county town tomorrow, and I'll go to the market with you to sell."

Hearing that Ji Yunshuang was going to the city, Gao Lan was immediately relieved.

The two agreed on a time and went to the city the next day.

That day, Gao Lan borrowed an oxcart from her brother's family again, and the two of them drove the oxcart to Hongdu together.

Upon arriving in Hongdu, Gao Lan first found a fellow villager she knew and spent one coin to store the oxcart at the villager's shop where he worked before going to the market with Ji Yunshuang.

After arriving at the market, Ji Yunshuang found a spot, laid out her peas, and called out, "Selling fairy peas! Fragrant and crunchy fairy peas! If you don't like them, you don't have to pay! Don't miss out!"

The moment the hawking cry was uttered, it instantly attracted a large crowd to come and watch.

What are "miracle beans"?

"If it's really not good, you don't have to pay?"

……

The onlookers started asking questions all at once.

As Ji Yunshuang distributed the fried peas to everyone, she replied, "Fairy peas are beans that even immortals would praise. Fellow villagers, try them and see if these fairy peas I'm selling are fragrant and crispy."

Gao Lan realized what was happening and quickly followed Ji Yunshuang's example to solicit business.

Stir-fried peas might seem utterly ordinary in modern times. But for people in ancient times who had never experienced Hextech, it was a delicious and crispy snack.

The price doesn't seem expensive, and eating these magic beans one by one takes quite a while, so even if you buy a whole bamboo tube, you won't finish it quickly.

Hearing that there was a new opening promotion—buy two bamboo tubes and get one free—many people bought two bamboo tubes.

Gao Lan watched as Ji Yunshuang sold more than a dozen bamboo tubes of fried peas in a short time, and she was filled with admiration.

She also learned from Ji Yunshuang how to conduct business with people.

Gao Lan was an outgoing and talkative person, and she quickly learned from Ji Yunshuang and started doing business quite well.

Seeing that she had mastered the skills of doing business, Ji Yunshuang felt relieved and went shopping.
