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

“Young Master, this is what happened. Miss Ye has wiped out the Beggars’ Gang.” Pei Shao bowed and stood in front of Lu Chuci’s bed to report to him.

Lu Chuci narrowed her eyes: "Mm."

Pei Shao continued, "There's one more thing."

"what?"

"Miss Ye seems to be at the Qi Refining level as well."

Lu Chuci was genuinely surprised: "You saw it with your own eyes?"

Pei Shao nodded: "The martial artist she defeated, according to my understanding, is an outer disciple of the Zhanyun Sect in the capital."

Lu Chuci's eyes flickered: "So?"

Pei Shao continued: "So the martial artist was familiar with the martial arts system. When I secretly observed him that day, the last thing he said before he fainted was, 'How come you also have the level of Qi cultivation?'"

Lu Chuci lowered his eyes and pondered.

Pei Shao offered a guess: "Could this Miss Ye be someone sent by those people in the capital to investigate the young master?"

"No." Lu Chuci denied it without hesitation.

Pei Shao was taken aback: "Why?"

"Because she rarely paid attention to me."

Pei Shao: ...That's very convincing!

"Regardless, there are indeed some suspicious points about Ye Qingxue herself. You should continue to follow her."

Pei Shao agreed, secretly thinking to himself: You just want to know more about Miss Ye, don't you!

However, he dared not say this to Lu Chuci's face.

"Pei Shao."

"Here!" Lu Chuci suddenly spoke, startling Pei Shao.

"What level of skill have you reached now?"

Pei Shao scratched his head, embarrassed, and said, "It's a bottleneck in Qi cultivation."

Lu Chuci glanced at him: "Sending you to follow that girl would be too easy to be discovered."

Pei Shao felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I will intensify my training!"

"Okay, let's go down."

"Yes."

Not long after Pei Shao left, Ye Qingxue returned.

I feel so refreshed after taking a shower!

Where are my parents?

Ye Qingxue looked around but didn't see anyone.

Lu Chuci's gaze quickly went blank: "Aunt Lu, invite them out for a late-night snack."

Ye Qingxue said "Oh," somewhat surprised that Aunt Lu had even called her parents: "Okay, I'll go now."

Riding on the donkey, we soon arrived at Aunt Lu's house, where bursts of laughter could be heard.

Ye Qingxue took the two chickens out of her spatial storage, pushed open the door, and said with a smile, "Aunt Lu, where should I put these chickens for you?"

Aunt Lu's eyes lit up when she saw the chicken: "Give it to me, you guys go ahead and cook, I'll go help Chen in the kitchen!"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Lin Zhi's eyebrows twitched with joy. "Xiao Xue, come and sit down!"

Ye Qingxue went over and sat down between Lin Zhiye and Ye Jing.

Ye Jing laughed heartily: "We're only getting invited to have a late-night snack because of Xiaoxue!"

Ye Qingxue, with one arm around each parent, said, "As long as Mom and Dad are happy!"

Ye Hao'er clapped his hands and said, "Hao'er is happy too!"

Ye Qingxue smiled and gently pinched Ye Hao'er's nose, making him giggle.

As they were talking, Mrs. Chen brought out two dishes and a pot of rice.

Everyone looked and saw that it was stir-fried vegetables with eggs and spicy stir-fried rabbit meat.

Lin Zhi sighed, "This is too much, there's no need to waste it like this!"

Aunt Lu pushed open the door and came in, carrying a bowl of mushroom soup and a bowl of steamed egg custard.

"It's alright, Qingxue sent most of it, we can't possibly eat it all."

Ye Qingxue picked up a piece of rabbit meat, which was very salty and delicious!

"Mmm! This dish is delicious. Aunt Chen, did you make this?"

Mrs. Chen smiled as she served everyone the food: "I made the scrambled eggs, and Aunt Lu made the rabbit meat!"

Ye Qingxue's eyes lit up as she looked at Aunt Lu: "Aunt Lu, your cooking is so good!"

Aunt Lu had just sat down when she was praised and felt a little embarrassed. She tucked a stray hair behind her ear with her right hand and said, "Oh, it's all just a haphazard attempt. Even if it tastes good, someone still has to eat it, right?"

Ye Qingxue's eyes darted around: "Aunt Lu, why don't you come with me to work in the county?"

Aunt Lu was taken aback: "Qingxue, you're hiring for that job?"

Ye Qingxue blinked and said mysteriously, "Yes, I'll tell the boss, and he'll definitely hire you!"

Aunt Lu twitched the corners of her mouth, seemingly not holding out much hope: "Work isn't so easy to find, especially since I'm from out of town. Qingxue, don't bother, come on, everyone, let's eat."

Ye Qingxue chuckled, said nothing, picked up her chopsticks and started eating: "Delicious, Mom and Dad, eat more!"

"Thank you, Xiaoxue!"

"Xiaoxue, you should eat more too!"

"Hao'er wants to eat too!"

"Hao'er, you're still young, eat more steamed egg custard."

"Humph."

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the food on the table was quickly devoured.

A neighbor passing by sighed with envy.

"The Lu family's daughter-in-law is really capable. She made money in the county, and the whole family is happy because of her."

"That's right, even the Chen family has benefited from her influence, and their lives have improved a lot."

Ye Qingxue walked over and opened the window, saying to them, "Let me correct you, sisters, Aunt Chen earned her money herself."

The neighbors pushed and shoved each other as they left.

Chen stepped forward, her face filled with gratitude: "Qingxue, I don't care what they say, you don't have to do this."

Ye Qingxue patted her shoulder: "You don't have to care, but I have to speak up for you."

"……thank you."

"Oh, right." Ye Qingxue remembered something, turned to look at the people at the table, and secretly pulled Chen Shi aside: "Aunt Chen, yesterday Liu Baode told me..."

Ye Qingxue told Chen what Liu Baode had told her the day before.

"So, are you going back?" Ye Qingxue looked directly into Chen's eyes.

Chen's eyes widened slightly, a complex emotion flashing across them.

After a long pause, he finally shook his head: "I'm not going back."

She has suffered most of her life and doesn't want to go back.

Ye Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then I'll ask the county doctor to help me write a divorce agreement tomorrow."

Chen lowered her eyes and agreed.

Xiaoshan noticed that her mother wasn't in a good mood, so she ran over and took her hand.

When Chen saw Xiaoshan, her eyes instantly reddened: "Xiaoshan, from now on you'll only have your mother."

Xiaoshan stood on tiptoe and hugged Chen's waist: "Mother, I'm not afraid. I've never had a father before."

Hearing this, Ye Qingxue felt a pang of sadness and patted Xiaoshan's head, saying, "Xiaoshan, I'm here too. I can be your godmother!"

Xiaoshan's eyes widened, and he turned his head away: "You're only five years older than me!"

Ye Qingxue: ...

Oh, I forgot again, this body has only just reached the age of marriage.

"Then can I be your older sister?"

"Okay." Xiaoshan seemed a little awkward, but he secretly curled up the corners of his mouth.

"Call sister!"

"……elder sister."

"So good!"

Ye Qingxue was amused to see Xiaoshan's face turn completely red.

Seeing that Xiaoshan was not affected by her divorce, Madam Chen was relieved.

"Qingxue," she suddenly called out to Ye Qingxue.

"Ok?"

"Starting tomorrow, can I receive some of my wages in advance? I want to find a tutor for Xiaoshan."

Children from ordinary families start school at the age of eight, but Xiaoshan was not given any more books after a few days of study because Liu Baode thought he was stupid.

Now that they are far behind, Chen is getting anxious and is thinking of having Xiaoshan learn something in advance before he starts school next spring.

Chen's eyes darted around uneasily, as if she felt that this request was difficult for Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue didn't think much of it and laughed, "I already calculated it for you. You'll get a good salary, so don't worry about finding a tutor."

Mrs. Chen was extremely excited and kept patting Xiaoshan's head: "Xiaoshan, quickly thank Sister Ye."

Xiaoshan blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Thank you, Sister Ye."

"It's okay."
