Originally, the family only needed to give thirty taels to settle the matter, but who knows how much more money they would be exploited by the government.

Having no other choice, Wang Wanlian paid the money.

The money here has been paid, but the fat man's money can't be paid.

She simply had no money left, and looking at the ruins of the tavern, she had no ability to rebuild it.

In the end, they sold the land and paid off the fat man's debt.

Holding onto that silver coin, Wang Wanlian was naturally reluctant to spend it, but Xu's mother was still lying in the mortuary.

So Wang Wanlian went to Xu Qingyou's side.

"What are you here for?"

Li Cuilian frowned as soon as she saw Wang Wanlian enter.

"Bring Xu Qingyou out here, I have something to say!"

Wang Wanlian didn't waste any more words with her and simply found a place to sit down.

Why did you call me?

Xu Qingyou happened to come over from the kitchen and looked at Wang Wanlian.

"Your mother is dead and has been left in the mortuary. Go and take care of her funeral arrangements, or people will gossip about you. You run a shop and are really rich, but you don't even care about your own mother!"

As Wang Wanlian spoke, she also pursed her lips.

"I remember the county magistrate wanted you to go, didn't he?"

Although Xu Qingyou didn't care much about the money, she still felt very uncomfortable looking at Wang Wanlian.

"I was adopted out a long time ago, and you took her things, so you have to take responsibility for these things. Otherwise... do you want to go to the county government office again?"

Xu Qingyou raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

Wang Wanlian is the kind of person who only cares about money. I want to see how much money she can actually pocket in the end.

"you……"

Wang Wanlian stared straight at Xu Qingyou, gave her a final glare, and then turned and left.

In the days that followed, Xu Qingyou heard that Wang Wanlian had bought a thin coffin and casually buried Xu's mother somewhere.

Xu Qingyou listened without doing anything. With her mother in that state, she was no longer worthy of being by her father's side.

Although Wang Wanlian called her mother very affectionately, in her heart, only her mother could lie next to Wang Erma.

So, in the end, what did Xu's mother possess?

She probably didn't own anything, but I wonder if, in the end, she ever truly regretted it.

Of course, Xu's mother has already been laid to rest, and Xu Qingyou no longer thinks about anything related to her.

But... Wang Wanlian's wonderful life has only just begun.

Time flies, and the autumn examinations soon came to an end.

Autumn has passed, and winter has arrived.

When the first snowflakes fall from the sky.

Lu Ziyao has returned, bringing with him good news: he achieved the top rank in the provincial examination.

"Qingyou, Qingyou... I'm number one..."

As soon as Lu Ziyao returned, he quickly stopped and went to the Xu family's shop.

"Yeah, I heard."

Xu Qingyou nodded slightly.

"Then let's get married!"

Lu Ziyao looked at her expectantly with his eyes.

"it is good!"

Xu Qingyou nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"It's really great!"

Lu Ziyao jumped up happily.

Since the two families had already discussed it beforehand, the Xu family had begun to slowly prepare the dowry several months ago.

Moreover, I have some money on hand, and I've bought many things with money.
