The old clan chief suddenly came to his senses and nodded vigorously: "Good child, tell me, tell me, Grandpa is listening!"

Zisu: "Nowadays, the people of Wulipo basically rely on the weather for their livelihood, but this can't go on! I saw something called a waterwheel in an ancient agricultural book. It can be placed in the river and pump water from the river into the rice paddies."

She had seen waterwheels in her dreams. However, she had no idea how to make them. Based on her understanding, she gestured for a long time and drew a simple sketch.

After listening for a while, the old clan chief finally had some idea: "Okay, Sixth Grandpa understands. Sixth Grandpa will go and study with the carpenters in the village to see how to build the waterwheel you mentioned! As for the seed soaking and seedling cultivation you mentioned, Sixth Grandpa will tell the villagers that Sixth Grandpa's family will also plant a few acres of the experimental fields you mentioned!"

Zisu: "Okay, then take care, Sixth Grandpa!"

As the old clan chief walked, he muttered to himself, "That spendthrift Shangguan Chengfeng is truly a disgrace! All those books in Mu Feng's study are treasures, and his wife burned them all! That kid, if I ever catch him, I'll make sure his whole family pays!"

Zisu heard it clearly and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Aunt Cao, you're going to take the blame for this! Who told you to be so petty, trying to completely erase the traces left by my father, and actually burning down the things in his study! If you don't take the blame, you'll be letting God down!

In a small, one-courtyard house in the commoners' district of the capital, Cao was washing clothes while viciously cursing Zisu's father: "You short-lived wretch! You're going to die just when you were perfectly healthy. Otherwise, our family could still be living in the Marquis's mansion, enjoying a life of wealth and luxury!"

Shangguan Zhihua glanced at her mother with disdain and said irritably, "Ugh, Mom, can you please shut up? It's so annoying! All you do is criticize this person or that person all day long. Do you think our family will have a good life if you keep doing this?!"

To be honest, she, who had transmigrated from another world, couldn't stand her adoptive mother. Greedy, lazy, stingy, and short-sighted, she completely lacked the temperament and magnanimity that a noblewoman should have. Otherwise, her family might not have ended up in this situation.

Madam Cao was both shocked and furious: "You brat, how dare you talk to me like that? If it weren't for me, where would you be? Since you look down on me so much, then get out of this house if you dare! If I had known you were like this, I should have strangled you the moment you were born!"

That brat! Ever since the Marquis's title was stripped, she's become so outrageous. She's always giving me the cold shoulder, always berating me, as if I, her mother, am some terrible person. What kind of daughter dares to talk to her mother like that?

That brat must be possessed!

As soon as this thought arose, Cao felt a chill run down her spine, and a seed of doubt was planted in her heart.

Shangguan Zhihua was unaware of her thoughts and didn't bother to pay attention. She was preoccupied with figuring out how to get close to Xiao Fan, whether to use recipes and her beauty to win his heart. Alternatively, she could try to get close to Xiao Fan's sweetheart, Qian Fengqin, and befriend her to achieve the same goal.
