“But Mother has always been good to you and has never mentioned divorcing you. This shows that she has no intention of climbing higher.”

“You little schemer. Come on, wash up and go to sleep.”

In Shopkeeper Lu’s courtyard, people were still awake, excited about their new home.

There was also today’s big news that made her excited. How could she fall asleep now?

“Xin’er, you don’t know, when Mother finds out that the son of that old man is the magistrate, my legs went weak.”

“Mother, you don’t need to be like this. Master said that even the Emperor is a mortal like us, just with a different official rank. You don’t need to take it to heart.”

“Master has someone to protect her; she won’t be bullied. Did you see what happened today? The Jiang family wanted to bully your master. If it weren’t for Lord Wang and Mayor Qian, things wouldn’t have ended well today.”

“That shows that Lord Wang is an upright official. Lord Wang would have done the same even in an ordinary family.”

Shopkeeper Lu shook her head. “You have a straightforward heart. I need to talk to you.”

Ruyi, Xiu Hong, and Xiu Yu chuckled while Shopkeeper Lu gave Ruxin a good lecture. They didn’t go to bed until late night.

On the other side, Qiao Mai let Yue Hong and Yue Xia rest in the side room. After putting Ling’er to sleep, she went to the space.

She checked on the reishi, which had already sprouted but hadn’t matured yet. On the side, she had replicated an additional acre and six-tenths of land, now totaling three acres and two-tenths, all filled with reishi.

There was no change in the space, but she wasn’t in a hurry. As long as she could level up, there was hope.

She went to the computer and looked at the boxes on the ground, which had all disappeared and turned into money bags.

Her merchandise had been sold. So, she stocked up a room full of goods and displayed them in her shop.

She gathered the money bags and put them in one place.

She didn’t count them yet. After finishing these tasks, she went to the field, starting from her starting point.

She cleared ten acres in one breath and planted them all with ginseng. She planned to start with valuable medicinal herbs and gradually have fruits and vegetables in batches.

This time, Qiao Mai had to plan her planting more carefully. She couldn’t plant little by little like before; it was too slow.

It wasn’t her fault that her initial plot was small, requiring more money and land. She could only plant small patches at a time. Now that she had more land, she could farm on a larger scale.

After planting, she sat down and started cultivating her internal energy.

Shortly after, she could feel her internal energy circulating throughout her body.

Qiao Mai concentrated her internal energy on her feet. With a slight push, she could easily jump three to four meters high.

With internal energy, she could perform light skills, moving quickly. A hundred miles only took half an hour to reach.

As her internal energy increased, the time would decrease.

She had a good grasp of grappling and fighting techniques from her previous life, and with internal energy, it felt like second nature to her. She had filled in the gap in her skills.

After she had washed her marrow and opened her veins, her sensitivity to internal and spiritual energy was exceptionally strong. Despite being only sixteen years old and the original host having lost her virginity, she would be a great asset if a skilled martial artist took her as a disciple.

The only thing that bothered Qiao Mai was marrying someone like Tian Sanzhuang, which made her feel a bit disgusted.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

The people in the small town couldn’t sleep that night as well. They had witnessed a woman who was only a stall owner living in such a grand new residence in merely a year. It was obvious that her shop was making bank.

When Wang Zongsheng and his daughter left, Qiao Mai prepared another cart of local specialties for them.

She held Wang Jiaru’s hand and said, “Forget about the martial arts manuals.”

“Oh, do you not want to be a martial artist anymore?” “No, I only need to know some basic martial arts for self-defense.” “That’s true. It’s difficult to find those manuals.

“If you have time, stay at my place for a few days. I have space now.”

“Don’t worry. Once I’m free, I’ll come.”

The two sisters hugged, and Qiao Mai waved goodbye as the carriage drove away, only returning to her shop afterward.

Yuan Jiaqi started their lessons after breakfast in the front hall while Old Mistress Wang took her maids to feed the poultry. She had planned what she would do when she came here long ago.

After eating their ready-made breakfast, Shopkeeper Lu and her family went to their shop as usual.

In no time, Qiao Mai inspected her shop and came to Shopkeeper Lu.

“Ruxin doesn’t need to embroider her wedding dress. She’s about to get married, so why not go to Old Mister Wang’s and learn something there?” “What can she learn there?”

“Your children are too naive. I’m afraid my disciple won’t be able to handle the

Feng family. So, don’t let her come to the shop during this time.”

Saying this, she pulled Ruxin and went back home. Shopkeeper Lu opened her mouth but didn’t say anything further.

She knew that Qiao Mai was doing this for Ruxin’s good, so she let her be.

At this time, Old Mistress Wang was feeding the cows. She wore ordinary clothes with sleeves and a sleeve cover, holding a bundle of green grass and placing it in the trough for the cows.

Seeing Qiao Mai coming, she waved to them affectionately.

“I thought I would have nothing to do when I came to your house, but I didn’t expect to become helpful.”

“As long as you like it.”

“Of course I do. I used to drink cow’s milk and knew it was good for the body. I’ve never seen such big udders on a cow before; they startled me when I first saw them.”

“These two cows have just reached adulthood, so their milk production isn’t high yet. Give them another year or so, and they can produce dozens of pounds of milk every day.”

“But how can your family drink it all?”

“If we can’t finish it, we’ll sell it. We can’t let the milk go to waste, right? Besides, I can make various dairy products. When the time comes, we can go to the kitchen together.”

“That’s great. I like messing around in the kitchen.”

Qiao Mai held Ruxin’s hand. “Old Mistress Wang, my student is getting married. If you have time, can you teach her something?”

“Teach her what? Don’t teach her those rigid rules that only do harm.”

“Not those rules. She’s too straightforward. The family she’s marrying into has concubines, if you know what I mean.”

Old Mistress Wang nodded. “Alright, when is she getting married?”

“On the 18th of October.’

“That’s soon. Her name is Ruxin, right?”

Lu Ruxin quickly gave Old Mistress Wang a salute. “Yes, Old Mistress Wang.”

Old Mistress Wang looked at Ruxin from head to toe. “Hmm, you’re a good girl.

You can follow me during the day, and I’ll teach you whatever comes to mind.’

“Thank you, Old Mistress Wang!”

Qiao Mai looked at Old Mistress Wang’s shrewd eyes and knew Ruxin would not leave empty-handed.

She was skilled in teaching people, as evidenced by the maids and servants around her.

To ensure everyone’s comfort, they didn’t eat together. Instead, each person’s maidservant would report to the kitchen, where the cook prepared the meal. The food was then taken back to their courtyard by their maids.

Seeing that the two kitchen maids were a bit overwhelmed, Qiao Mai went to the Broker Center to hire four more servant girls, which she handed over to the kitchen maids.

She also bought five maidservants, one of whom was a shrewd gatekeeper. The others were allocated by the head maid among the rough maidservants.

After all, they had many poultry to take care of, and with so much land, they needed enough manpower.

Most importantly, she had five acres of land to cultivate. When the time came, she needed enough people to keep up with the work.

To grow winter vegetables, she needed a greenhouse with transparent fabric. There was no such thing as a transparent fabric here.

Therefore, Qiao Mai bought two pieces of ordinary white fabric from a clothing store. After comparing it to her field, she realized it couldn’t block the wind. It let the wind through and decreased the temperature inside the greenhouse when the grass curtains were open during the day, which would quickly kill the vegetables.

That night, she searched the internet and found a solution. She could apply a white adhesive to the fabric, making it waterproof and windproof while allowing light to pass through.

Qiao Mai smacked her lips. “White adhesive? Where can I find that?”

It was obtained from rubber trees.. Did she have to plant rubber trees on ten acres of land?
