She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 46 Waiting for the Profits
The nights in early spring are still cold.

No one was walking in the courtyard of Liujiazhuang, and everyone had returned to their houses.

Liu Yingyue glanced at the east room and quietly walked towards the west room.

There were three rooms with candles burning. She found a room where there was sound and stood under the window to eavesdrop.

"I'm telling you, if you don't give that shop to my cousin, I will never forgive you!" said a woman's voice.

"According to what we agreed before, if the shop is not sold within three months, I will be the one to sell it. By then, won't your cousin be able to buy it easily? Why are you in such a hurry? Three months will be up soon."

"The boss is really something. His son is gone, his sister-in-law has gone crazy, and his daughters are all married. What is the point of him guarding the shop? If he were more generous and gave the shop to us, would we not have to support him in his old age?" The woman snorted coldly.

"That's right, I think so too, but Gui Niang, you can only think about this in your heart and can't say it to anyone. The eldest son-in-law is not someone you can easily mess with. Be careful that he complains to the eldest son-in-law, or we'll be in trouble."

"Humph, the eldest daughter of the first house, even though she's married, is still meddling in her parents' affairs. She runs to her parents' house every other day, eating from her bowl and looking at what's in the pot, afraid that we'll bully her parents. She looks at us like thieves. What an uneducated little girl!"

"Who told her husband is the county magistrate? We can't afford to offend him!" Liu Eryuanwai sighed.

"Okay, let's not talk about her. Let's talk about my brother's baby's full moon tomorrow. How much gift money do you want to prepare?"

"Is five taels enough?"

"Five taels? Are you ashamed to give it to me? Eight taels!! If you don't have eight taels, don't come to my bed! Humph!"

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, eight ounces, eight ounces. I'll listen to you, my lady. It's getting late, shall we go to bed?"

"Sleep, sleep, sleep. You only know how to sleep with me, huh."

"What are you saying? Would you be happy if I slept with someone else?"

"How dare you! I'll tear your skin off!"

The lights went out, and the man and woman in the room said nothing valuable anymore, just flirtatious words.

Liu Yingyue frowned and left quietly.

As she thought, when the two brothers had conflicts, it was mostly because of the uneven division of the family property.

When the family property cannot be divided, there must be a daughter-in-law from one side making trouble behind the scenes.

Anyway, she is not in a hurry to buy a shop. She will wait until the affair between Mr. Liu Er and his wife is exposed and they start a fight with Mr. Liu Da, and then she will reap the benefits.

Maybe I can buy the shop for less than one hundred taels.

Instead of letting Mr. Liu Er give the shop away for free to his wife's brothers, it would be better for her to buy it so that she can at least get some money to support Mr. Liu Da in his old age.

It was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly.

Liu Yingyue spent two cents and bought a torch from a farmer in the village. She held it up to light the way and walked home.
.
After Tian Fangzheng and Liu Yingyue separated, he drove the ox cart home.

Halfway through the journey, I met a relative.

The relative asked him to do an important matter the day before yesterday and now asked him the result.

Tian Fangzheng followed his relatives to deal with the important matter and did not return home until dark.

At this moment, he remembered what Liu Yingyueshao said. How could he find Qin Xiuzhu if he went to the market street again?
Not to mention Qin Xiuzhu, there was not a single vendor on the street. Today was not a big market, so everyone went back after noon.

As soon as it gets dark, only the beef noodle restaurant is still occupied. There are people in the liquor shop, and all other shops are closed.

The street was dark and deserted.

Tian Fang was touching the back of his head, thinking to himself, Madam Liu's sister-in-law should know what Madam Liu is going to do, right?
Thinking of this, he went home with peace of mind. --
Qin Xiuzhu certainly didn't expect that Liu Yingyue was going to do something important.

After selling the cakes, she went to the shop in front of the beef noodle restaurant and pretended to buy something. She heard that Chen Baian was sent back home by his aunt to work and would not come back until tomorrow, so she left the market unhappily.

On the way back to the village, Qin Xiuzhu met Yang Yongcui who was also on her way back from the market.

Yang Yongcui came to the market to sell herbal medicine. After getting the money, she asked the old doctor to prescribe some other medicine.

Her mother has been in poor health for many years, and her father has a disability in his legs and feet and has to take medicine all year round.

Yang Yongcui earned money to support her family of three by herself. Although she often smiled in public, she would often roar in anger when no one was around.

She hated why her fate was not like Liu Yingyue's?
Why is she so poor?

It would be fine if she was poor, but why did she, a little girl, have to support her parents?
God is unfair!

"Sister Yongcui? Are you alone?" Qin Xiuzhu greeted Yang Yongcui happily.

When Yang Yongcui saw Qin Xiuzhu’s donkey cart, she opened her eyes wide and was slightly stunned.

"Sister Yongcui, why are you staring at my donkey cart? What's wrong with the donkey?" Qin Xiuzhu blinked, looked at the donkey, and asked her in confusion.

Yang Yongcui cursed in her heart, what a bunch of idiots!
You can't even do this little thing!
"No...nothing, I'm just curious that you can drive a donkey cart." She smiled awkwardly.

"I have learned how to drive a donkey cart a long time ago. Early this morning, it was me who drove the donkey cart and brought Liu Yingyue to the market." Qin Xiuzhu raised her eyebrows proudly.

Speaking of Liu Yingyue, Yang Yongcui glanced in the direction of the market and said, "Xiuzhu, you didn't go back with Yingyue? Aren't you waiting for her?"

Now that Liu Yingyue is not here, could it be that things are getting better?
Yang Yongcui felt happy again.

"Hmph! Don't mention her. Who knows where she went to play? Sister Yongcui, come on board. I'll take you home."

"Do you want to pay for the bus fare?" Yang Yongcui asked teasingly.

"We are good sisters, why would I accept your money? Come up, with you by my side, I won't be alone on the way home. It's more than ten miles away, and it would be boring if I were alone." Qin Xiuzhu waved to Yang Yongcui and nodded with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite." Yang Yongcui got on the donkey cart.

Qin Xiuzhu sold all the cakes by herself today. She was in a good mood and kept talking about selling cakes.

This made Yang Yongcui extremely jealous.

Because she didn't know anything. She had to be taught by others how to do such a profitable job as digging herbs. But even though she tried very hard to learn, she still couldn't recognize all the herbs.

If you don't recognize many, the herbs you can dig will be limited, and you won't make a lot of money.

Seeing that Qin Xiuzhu could make cakes and earned more than a hundred coins, how could Yang Yongcui not be jealous?

"Xiuzhu, when I came back, I saw your sister-in-law Liu Yingyue." Yang Yongcui narrowed her eyes and bit her lip.

Qin Xiuzhu was able to run her own business independently, so she no longer cared where Liu Yingyue was and just said "oh" faintly.

"She will go home by herself, you don't have to worry about her."

"I saw her talking intimately with a man." Yang Yongcui glanced at Qin Xiuzhu secretly.

Qin Xiuzhu turned around suddenly, widened her eyes and asked, "With whom?"

"Luo Si'an."

"What?" Qin Xiuzhu took a deep breath.
