By the time we arrived at Lijiapin by oxcart, it was already completely dark.

At this time of day, everyone in the village is busy at home, so there are hardly any people on the road.

Arriving at her maternal grandfather's house, Su Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Grandpa, Grandma, open the door, it's me, Su Yan."

The grandparents in the yard were startled when they heard the sound.

Realizing what was happening, Grandma Li immediately put down what she was holding and opened the door.

Seeing the three people outside the door, she froze, and murmured, "Juanzi, you're back?"

When Li Juan saw her elderly mother, her nose suddenly stung with tears, and she called out in a tearful voice, "Mother..."

A few minutes later.

The family sat in the courtyard, the atmosphere somewhat silent.

After learning what had happened, Grandma Li (Chen Hao) held Li Juan's hand and wiped away her tears, saying guiltily, "Juanzi, I'm so sorry."

Grandpa Li Sheng's eyes were red; it was impossible for him not to feel guilty.

Back then, the Li family was so poor they couldn't even afford to eat, so they had no choice but to marry Li Juan off to a place as far away as Sushan Village.

The reason is simple: the Su family gave a large dowry.

"Grandma, Grandpa, at least now that my mother is back, you can be together every day. Right now, we need to make the most of our lives. The Su family is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves," Su Yan said, trying to ease the tension.

Grandma Li wiped away her tears and nodded, saying, "That's right, you three can settle down here. My husband and I are just waiting for you to come back."

Li Juan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her parents didn't mind and were actually very happy.

This matter is temporarily concluded.

The Li family has three rooms.

Grandma Li said that Su Yan had grown up and insisted that she live in a room by herself.

Su Yan did not refuse. Her grandparents had genuinely been kind to them, and she would remember their kindness.

...

The sky was just beginning to lighten in the morning.

Su Yan pulled back the curtain to look at the sky, then immediately got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and carried her basket up the back mountain.

She planned to collect some herbs and sell them in town.

She did want to make fried fresh mushrooms to sell, but these days the price of seasonings is as high as meat, so she should earn her capital first and put the idea of ​​selling food on hold for now.

At this critical moment, making money is of utmost importance.

Although she specialized in all kinds of delicious food in her past life, her second best skill must have been medicinal cuisine.

To make her medicinal cuisine perfect, she put a lot of effort into understanding Chinese herbs.

In this era when there was little development, herbs were probably the least lacking thing!

It is said that those who live near mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near water live off the water. Lijiapin happens to be located near mountains.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Su Yan immediately saw a large patch of Asarum!

Su Yan's eyes lit up instantly.

This doesn't look like herbs at all!

This is a walking RMB banknote, okay?!

Asarum has the effects of dispelling wind and relieving pain, as well as relieving exterior cold. Even in the 21st century, this medicinal herb sells for more than 100 yuan per kilogram.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the simple tools and got to work!

Seeing this vast expanse of medicinal herbs, she knew that the hills of Lijiaping had definitely not been developed yet.

In this era, when even the problem of food and clothing has not been properly solved, who has the mood to go up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs?

Even if someone has this idea, how many of them are literate?

With the goal of becoming the richest woman in the country in mind, Su Yan worked even harder.

About an hour later, she returned home carrying two baskets that were full.

When she got home, everyone was already up.

Li Juan came out from behind the stove and looked at the contents of the basket with a puzzled expression. "Ayan, why did you bring back so much grass? You don't need to burn grass to start a fire."

"Mom, these are medicinal herbs, not herbs." Su Yan said with a wry smile, "I plan to take them to town to sell, and with the money I make, I'll set up a stall to sell snacks."

Upon hearing this, Li Juan's eyes immediately reddened, and she said irritably, "If you need money, just tell your mother. Why sell medicinal herbs? The most important thing right now is your university education. I'll figure out how to get the money."

If her daughter loses her place in university because of her own actions, she will never find peace until the day she dies.

“I know what I’m doing with university. Mom, you only have 15 yuan a month. We can’t just eat and drink at Grandpa’s house for free, can we? My brother’s schooling also costs money, and 15 yuan will be gone in no time.”

Moreover, we certainly can't live in Lijiapin for long. My grandparents don't mind, but they're worried about what others will say, so I plan to buy a house in town.

Li Juan's divorce was bound to come out sooner or later; she brought her mother out of misery so that she could have a better life.

If it makes her mother suffer, then what's the point of all this?

"What?!" Li Juan's voice cracked with shock. "You said you're going to buy a house in town? Yan, did you suffer some kind of aftereffect?"

The house prices in town now start at around 1,000 yuan!

This was something she never dared to imagine in her entire life.

Su Yan could understand that Li Juan couldn't accept it all at once, but she still said, "Mother, please believe me this once. I'm not the Su Yan I used to be."

Well, it won't be long before there are more and more things her mother can't accept, so she needs to get used to it quickly.

Li Juan: "..." My daughter, the more you act like this, the more anxious I become.

Since Su Yan's behavior after waking up was becoming increasingly erratic compared to before, Li Juan strongly suspected that she had been driven to this state by those sons of bitches in the Su family and had not yet recovered.

Li Juan was afraid that her daughter would suffer another blow, so she decided to go along with her daughter's wishes for now.

“Okay, Mom will listen to you.” Li Juan suddenly became gentle: “Eat breakfast first, Mom has to go to work in a while, I’ll go to town with you.”

Su Yan had no idea what her mother was thinking, and sat down to eat breakfast.
