A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

As soon as Ye Qingxue finished speaking, Li You seemed to have found a way out and quickly took it.

"Yes, it's all because of that second daughter of the Ye family. She came to me today for no reason and said that I spend money extravagantly! I didn't believe it at first! But she kept persuading me, so I decided to go and see for myself."

The villagers outside the door all turned to look at Ye Hua'er.

Ye Yu and Wu Shuang had never seen anything like this before, and their faces turned deathly pale instantly.

Ye Hua'er quickly forced a smile, her expression tinged with guilt: "Third sister, when your second sister visited your third uncle and aunt last night, she asked you what kind of work you did to earn money to buy a coat. You hesitated and wouldn't say, so I was worried that you might not know how to spend money and that you might not be able to survive in the future. That's why I thought of reminding Aunt Li, but I didn't expect that I had misunderstood you, third sister."

"It's all Second Sister's fault," Ye Hua'er quickly admitted her mistake.

But Ye Qingxue knew that Ye Hua'er would never simply take the blame upon herself.

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Hua'er changed the subject: "It's just that Third Sister has a way to make money but doesn't share it with Second Sister. Second Sister is really a little heartbroken, but that's fine. But you didn't even tell your parents-in-law. That... isn't very good."

A hint of amusement flashed in Ye Qingxue's eyes.

This Ye Hua'er, being someone who has read some books, immediately found the flaw in her words.

Li You was stunned by the sudden accusations. He didn't expect that Ye Qingxue's money-making methods, which she hadn't told them, could be used as a pretext.

And that's exactly what Ye Qingxue wanted to bring up!

“Madam Ye, Er Ya is right. A few days ago your parents said they were going to take some mountain produce for you to sell. We were wondering about it.”

“You’re the only one in our village who can go to the county. Tell us about any ways you can make money.”

"Yeah, you don't mean you want to keep it for yourself, do you?"

Seeing that Ye Hua'er had stirred up the emotions of the surrounding villagers again, Ye Qingxue noticed the smugness in Ye Hua'er's eyes.

She gave a silent snort, then put on a smiling face: "Fellow villagers! Listen to me! I didn't mean to hide it from you!"

"Then why don't you say so?"

Ye Qingxue calmly replied, "Actually, I've been busy with something recently, and I wanted to announce this good news to everyone after it was completed!"

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment: "A happy occasion? What happy occasion?"

"Because I've been going to that county every day recently, the gatekeeper discussed with me that if I paid three taels at once, he wouldn't charge me any more tolls!"

"Oh? That's great! So... you've managed to get this done?"

Ye Qingxue nodded: "It's done! I was just thinking of telling everyone today! From now on, if you find any good goods in the mountains, you can ask me to help you exchange them for money in the county!"

These words struck the villagers like a heavy hammer blow, and their hearts began to beat faster in unison!

Even Ye Yu and Wu Shuang were somewhat tempted!

Are they allowed to sell things in the county now?

We won't have to go through years of not being able to eat more than a few grains of rice anymore?

Can you earn money with your own hands now?

The villagers were extremely excited, especially after hearing that the third branch of the Ye family had already put on padded jackets, which made them feel that this was a feasible idea!

The villagers fell silent, then erupted in a thunderous cheer.

"Ye Qingxue! You're really something!"

"I'm impressed! If you ever need anything, just let me know!"

"Village chief, you are truly proud to have such a daughter-in-law!"

"Oh, that silly boy is really lucky."

The villagers immediately praised Ye Qingxue, calling her a fairy descended from heaven.

But Ye Qingxue also knew that the villagers praised her to the skies because they had benefited from her. If they knew that she was trying to profit from it, they would drown her in their spittle!

She glanced into the crowd and unexpectedly saw Chen Shi. She raised her hand and waved to Ye Qingxue, her face full of joy.

And there was Xiaoshan, who looked at her with bright eyes, full of admiration.

Then Aunt Lu came over and, unusually, smiled and said to her, "Would you like some late-night snacks at my house tonight?"

Ye Qingxue was somewhat surprised. She knew that in the deserted village, it was difficult to even get three meals a day. Now, he was actually inviting her to have a late-night snack?

They were genuinely happy for her.

"How about tomorrow night? I'll give you two more eggs!"

"No need!" Aunt Lu shook her head and waved her hand, her smile widening. "I haven't forgotten your two chickens!"

Ye Qingxue's smile widened slightly: "I'll give it to you tomorrow night!"

"Row!"

Aunt Lu left with Chen and her son.

Ye Qingxue's smile hadn't faded when she saw the second family come forward and give her a forced smile.

"Xiaoxue, you've really made something of yourself! You'll have to take good care of your second uncle's family in the future, and help them negotiate the price!"

This was the first time Ye Qingxue had ever seen Ye Yu smile at her.

Money really can make the devil turn the millstone.

But his smile was truly as ugly as a ghost's.

Ye Qingxue looked at Ye Hua'er.

Seeing Ye Hua'er nervously twisting her fingers, stubbornly pursing her lips, and looking away without saying a word, I noticed that she was looking away.

She was young, but still proud, unwilling to admit defeat, and unable to swallow her pride.

Ye Qingxue didn't argue with her and dismissed them with a few casual words.

The person who came up last was the one Ye Qingxue least expected.

With his thick eyebrows and broad face, it was Liu Baode.

But Ye Qingxue knew that he was definitely not trying to get close to her.

"Ye Qingxue, you're really something! You've really managed to support my wife! You've even captured the hearts of the whole village!"

Ye Qingxue looked up at him with a teasing expression: "If I told you that she supported herself with her own money, I'm sure you wouldn't believe me."

Liu Baode sneered: "That woman has been supported by me for decades. What ability can a cripple like me have to make money? You can't fool me."

I can't talk anymore today.

"What exactly do you want to say? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Ye Qingxue turned to leave.

Liu Baode was still sneering behind her back: "I just came to ask you to tell her that if she doesn't come home tomorrow, I'm not going to want her anymore!"

Ye Qingxue stopped and quickly walked to Liu Baode.

Liu Baode sneered, "What? Getting impatient?"

Ye Qingxue: "Are you really willing to divorce Aunt Chen?"

Liu Baode was stunned for a moment: "Yeah, so what? Let me tell you, once I've made up my mind, no one can change it. Even if she wants to come back, I won't let her into that house!"

"Okay! You said it."

Having received an affirmative answer, Ye Qingxue ignored her, went inside, and closed the door, leaving Liu Baode outside, completely bewildered.

After entering the house, she wanted to go into the room, but Li You blocked her way, looking awkward as if he wanted to say something to her.

Lu Meng was no longer in the hall.

Tsk, pushing a woman out to take the blame again, what a lack of responsibility.

"Qingxue..."

Ye Qingxue knew what she meant, and sighed deeply: "Mother-in-law, you don't need to say anything. I know you listened to what others said, and I don't blame you. In the future, you can ask me to help you send anything to the county to sell."

She was still living under someone else's roof, and Ye Qingxue wasn't so foolish as to fall out with her in-laws right now.

Besides, the more items she delivers, the more profit she makes from the price difference; Ye Qingxue had her own calculations in mind.

Li Youzhi kept making "uh-huh" and "yeah" sounds, with a fawning expression.

Ye Qingxue didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so she went straight into the inner room.

Lin Zhi and Ye Jing both looked in her direction.

Ye Qingxue looked on with surprise when she saw that the two of them had lost their earlier melancholy.

"Xiaoxue, are you still our Xiaoxue?" Ye Jing spoke first.
