"What? What did you say? You found another roe deer and a goat?!"

Her voice was sharp and jealous, making people frown.

Su Yan looked over and saw Liu Cuihua, the wife of Dazhu who had come to beg for food with her child that day.

She nodded slightly. "Yes, is there a problem?"

Liu Cuihua's face twisted with jealousy, and she said sarcastically, "Are wild animals in the mountains so easy to catch? The village hunters only manage to catch one pheasant in a whole day when they go up the mountain, how come you always find dead wild animals every time you go up?"

"There's nothing we can do; luck isn't something everyone can have."

Su Yan shrugged, looking both incredibly lucky and extremely worried, making everyone around her envious.

"Who knows if that's true or not," Da Zhu's wife said dismissively, giving Su Yan a lewd look.

How could the villagers not know what she meant?

This implies that Su Yan was seducing a man on the mountain, which is why the man gave her wild animals as payment.

This made everyone a little suspicious, and their gazes toward Su Yan gradually became abnormal.

Seeing this, Liu Cuihua glared at Su Yan with a smug look on her face, her eyes full of provocation.

Hmph! You little slut, you're too green to mess with her!

If we don't teach her a lesson, Liu Cuihua won't be able to swallow her anger from last time!

Su Yan's face turned cold; this scene chilled her to the bone.

All the good intentions I had before have been wasted.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Su Yan often goes up the mountain because she wants to collect herbs to sell in town to supplement her family's income. Don't you know what her family's situation is? Besides, every time she finds wild animals, she doesn't keep them all to herself, but tries to share them with everyone. But you guys take her meat and now you're bullying her here! A bunch of heartless bastards!" the captain roared.

He was genuinely angry.

Lin Xiuli also spoke up, saying, "Don't you people know how important a girl's reputation is? Uncle Dazhu, keep your wife in check. If I hear her making baseless accusations against Su Yan again, I'll have to send her back to her parents' home. We can't tolerate troublemakers in Lijiaping."

Liu Cuihua is already old enough to be a grandmother. If she were sent back to her parents' home, she would definitely become a laughing stock in Lijiaping and her parents' home.

These days, the brigade leader and his wife really do have that power.

Liu Cuihua panicked instantly, but unwilling to be inferior to Lin Xiuli, a junior, she put her hands on her hips and said fiercely, "Why should I be sent away? Do you think you're so great just because you're the team leader's wife? How dare you help outsiders bully your elder?"

After saying that, Liu Cuihua pointed at Su Yan with jealousy and said sarcastically, "Who knows if you got all this stuff by going to the mountains with men? Bah! I'd rather starve to death than eat what you get by selling your body! You look like a vixen at such a young age, who knows how many men you've slept with!"

"Smack!"

"You filthy woman, shut your mouth!"

Dazhu slapped Liu Cuihua across the face.

That stupid woman has completely disgraced him!

"ah--!"

Liu Cuihua was spun around after being hit. After regaining her footing, she covered her bruised face and looked at her man in shock. Her voice was shrill: "You bastard, you actually hit me? Have you taken a fancy to that little slut? Did you sleep with her? I'll tear you apart today, and then I'll go deal with that whore!"

After saying that, Liu Cuihua jumped onto Dazhu like a lion that had lost its mind, pinning him down and scratching him violently.

The scene instantly descended into chaos, filled with Dazhu's screams and Liu Cuihua's ravings.

Everyone realized what was happening and quickly went to pull the two people away.

The main problem is that both of them are very serious about their actions. What if someone dies if this continues?

Su Yan was speechless.

In her past life, she had seen quintessential rural women on television, and now she was encountering one in real life.

Moreover, she felt that Liu Cuihua's resentment towards her was really inexplicable!

Is it really necessary to hate someone like this just because they didn't give her a bite to eat?

"Aunt Lin, take a few people over to carry the goat and the roe deer. I want half a carcass of mutton, but I don't want the two roe deer. You can divide them equally. Also... you are not allowed to give any to Liu Cuihua's family."

Su Yan completely blacklisted Liu Cuihua and her family.

From now on, no one will be able to benefit from her unless she so chooses to.

Lin Xiuli couldn't help but find it amusing, and nodded, saying, "Okay, Auntie will remember."

"It's still in the same spot as last time, so I won't go over there. I'll have my grandpa come to your house to get the mutton later."

Su Yan left after giving her instructions, her mood briefly affected but quickly returning to normal.

She wouldn't waste her emotions on things that aren't worth it.

When she got home, her mother grabbed her and questioned her as soon as she entered the door.

Li Juan was stunned after hearing her daughter's explanation...

No, why is the mountain god so good to her daughter? Could it be because she brought food up the mountain to worship?

Su Yan didn't give her a chance to overthink, and directly changed the subject: "Mom, it's getting late. Let's go to town and see if the stall is ready. If it is, we'll be busy tonight."

Upon hearing this, Li Juan stopped arguing and immediately called for an oxcart to go to town.

...

When they arrived in town, it was almost noon. Su Yan originally planned to eat lunch before going, but Li Juan insisted on seeing the place first and then eating.

"It's worth several hundred yuan, how can you be so careless?" Li Juan scolded as she walked.

Zhou Yuanqing happened to be in the shop when the two arrived.

Upon seeing Su Yan, Zhou Yuanqing paused for a second before speaking up: "Your stall is just set up, check if there are any problems."

As he spoke, he brought out a stall from the shop featuring a novel design made with the best materials.

One side can be used for heating and stir-frying, while the other side can be used to place food and takeout containers. Below are cabinets for storing items.

Most importantly, Zhou Yuanqing added his own ideas, creating a second layer that could hold all sorts of odds and ends. The wheels were incredibly smooth and quiet when pushed, and the details on the top of the second layer were very well done, even more perfect than what Su Yan had seen in her previous life.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Yuanqing explained somewhat guiltily, "I'm sorry, I added my own ideas without your permission. If you're not satisfied, you can return it."

He mainly felt that Su Yan's design was very novel, and then he had an idea that he could do better, so he did it.

"No need, I'm very satisfied." Su Yan looked at him with a bright smile and asked happily, "How much is the final payment?"

She hadn't expected Zhou Yuanqing's ideas to align with hers so well; the business was even better than she had imagined.

Li Juan couldn't find fault with it either, but the price made her heart skip a beat.

Zhou Yuanqing clenched his fists and hesitated, saying, "We used a lot of materials, so the final payment is four hundred."

Including the deposit, it's five hundred yuan in total.

Su Yan looked surprised and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure it's only four hundred?"

She thought it would cost at least six hundred.

This boss is really honest.

Zhou Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "It's four hundred."

"OK."

Su Yan counted out four hundred from her pocket and handed it over.

Just as Zhou Yuanqing was about to answer, an unfriendly voice suddenly rang out.

"Su Yan, what are you doing here?!"
