Ye Caiping was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard, humming a song in a good mood.

"Ye, come out here!" a shrill child's voice rang out.

Ye Caiping was startled and turned around, only to see a thin, dark-skinned boy of about eight or nine years old standing at the door with an arrogant expression.

Li Gouwa?

Ye Caiping recognized him; he was Li Zhiyuan's neighbor and also Li Zhiyuan's nephew from a different branch of the family.

What is he doing here?

Ye Caiping ignored him and pretended not to hear him.

"Hey, I'm calling you!" Li Gouwa was annoyed. The good-for-nothing who had been divorced by the scholar uncle was ignoring him.

"Where did this bastard come from, barking all over the place?" Ye Daquan came out of the house, and when he saw it was Gouwa, he frowned: "Aren't you that beast Li Zhiyuan's neighbor? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see the Ye family."

Li Gouwa was initially intimidated by Ye Daquan's tall figure, but when he remembered that he was there on the orders of Uncle Xiucai and Sister Jiaojiao, he immediately straightened his back and became arrogant.

Ye Daquan's face darkened, but regardless of whether he stood up straight or not, he swung a large bag at him:

"You ill-mannered brat, how dare you call someone 'Ye'?"

Li Gouwa was whipped so hard he rolled to the ground, howling in pain.

Ye Caiping watched him roll around and gave a cold smile.

Although the original owner didn't treat her own family as human beings, she had nothing to say to her husband's family.

Not only did she serve her husband and mother-in-law like a servant, but she also extended her love to all the relatives and friends that Li Zhiyuan cared about, treating them with sincerity.

Li Gouwa had been favored by Li Zhiyuan since childhood, and the original owner also doted on Li Gouwa.

Whenever there was anything left in the house, it would be stuffed into Li Gouwa's hands first, leaving his two daughters to watch longingly.

A few years ago, he fell into an icy lake and almost died; even his parents gave up on him.

It was because the original owner covered him up all night that he came back to life.

As a result, now people keep mentioning the Ye family, and they're only willing to risk their lives for Li Jiaojiao.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Caiping asked coldly.

Li Gouwa jumped up from the ground, wiping the mud off his face: "You think I wanted to come? Let me tell you, it's Uncle Xiucai who needs to see you."

Instead of calling him Uncle Zhiyuan, they insist on calling him Uncle Xiucai, as if Li Zhiyuan is the only scholar in the whole world.

After saying this, Li Gouwa looked arrogant, waiting to see Ye Caiping's excitement and eagerness. However, what he got in return was Ye Caiping's look of disgust:

"What do you want from me? I don't want to get involved with shit."

Li Gouwa couldn't believe it. No one knew better than him how much Ye Shi cared about Uncle Zhiyuan.

He couldn't figure out what was wrong with Ye Caiping, so he had no choice but to complete the task of relaying the message: "Uncle Xiucai said that you should send over the jade that you always wear."

Jade? Ye Caiping was taken aback.

Seeing the change in her expression, Li Gouwa quickly said, "Yes, why aren't you giving it to me yet?"

"Get lost, what the hell!"

Li Gouwa choked, wanting to speak again, but Ye Daquan had already stepped forward, pinching his finger bone. Li Gouwa was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

"You little bastard, he's lucky he ran fast, otherwise I would have broken his legs!" Ye Daquan roared at his retreating figure.

Ye Caiping touched the jade pendant around her neck, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She noticed it the last time she saw Li Jiaojiao in town.

Li Jiaojiao had her eye on her jade pendant! No, it should be said that she had her eye on her spatial storage!

Unfortunately, the space had already recognized its owner and merged with her soul; the jade pendant was now just an empty shell.

Even so, it's impossible for her to have this jade pendant.

Who knows if the heroine might suddenly trigger something on this day?

However, Li Jiaojiao has an extremely stubborn personality. She is determined to do whatever she wants and get whatever she desires.

The main theme is about being reborn and doing whatever you want.

She needs to be prepared.

...

When Li Gouwa returned to the Li family, he poured out everything that had happened in Qinghe Village.

Li Jiaojiao and her brother exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.

Li Zhiyuan's face was filled with disbelief: "Impossible, that Ye family..."

Since then, he has made Ye kneel or stand as he pleases.

She would feel anxious and anxious if he gave her even a displeased look, and would try her best to please him.

Now that he's sent people to ask her for the jade, how dare she refuse?

Li Jiaojiao frowned slightly: "I'll go myself. I can buy it for a hundred or two hundred coins."

"No need." Li Zhiyuan thought for a moment, then chuckled, "Well done, Ye family, you've actually become smarter."

"She doesn't want to give the jade to Gouwa, she just wants me to come to her in person. Humph, she's giving me the nerve? She actually wants me to see her personally!"

Li Jiaojiao said anxiously, "But..."

"Jiaojiao, don't worry. Just ignore her for a few days, and she'll get anxious. Then she'll eagerly bring it over and beg me to accept it."

Li Jiaojiao thought about it and realized that Ye was indeed a shameless and wicked woman, and she shouldn't give her too much face.

With my father around, it won't take more than a few days to get my hands on the jade.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!" Gouwa suddenly rolled onto the ground.

"Doggy, what's wrong with you?" Li Jiaojiao was startled.

"Just now in Qinghe Village, that shrew's older brother punched me."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiaojiao and the other two immediately surrounded him, asking him all sorts of questions: "Where does it hurt?"

"This hurts! That hurts too! And this too! Sister Jiaojiao, please blow on it for me." Gouwa rolled on the ground, acting cute and adorable.

"I think you're pretty tough, you're just trying to trick me into bragging to you."

Li Jiaojiao was both heartbroken and annoyed, making a scene that made everyone in the room laugh.

...

The Ye family is very nervous about setting up a stall in the county town tomorrow.

That evening, while Ye Caiping was soaking dried vegetables, Old Lady Ye asked, "How many buckets should we make in the county town?"

Since it was her first time setting up a stall, Grandma Ye was a little worried. At that time, the stall in the small town only made one bucket as a trial.

Ye Caiping thought for a moment: "There are many people in the county town, so we can take a risk and make three buckets!"

Grandma Ye quickly started soaking the dried vegetables.

The next day, at four in the morning.

Six large buckets of spicy soup were loaded onto the vehicle, along with twice the number of tables, chairs, and bowls.

Because they were too heavy, Ye Caiping and the others could no longer ride in the carriage and could only walk out alongside the oxcart.

Upon arriving in the town, Ye Caiping, Ye Daquan, and Huan'er unloaded three buckets of soup and boarded an oxcart to head to the county seat.

The stalls in Dashu Town were handed over to Grandma Ye, Ye Erquan, and Ye Jin'er.

We're not worried about not having enough manpower. There used to be four people, but after they became more experienced, one of them was actually quite redundant.

Now there are three people, which is just right.
