"Wow, why is there thunder in broad daylight? So scary."
"Maybe it's because the Liu family sold their granddaughter for twenty taels of silver, and God couldn't stand it anymore."
"Then why didn't the thunder strike the Liu family?"
Everyone looked at the lightning and thunder in the distance, and their calves were trembling. It was the first time they had seen such a loud thunder, as if it was going to poke a hole in the mountain.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour, the thunder stopped in the sky. The dark clouds came and went quickly. The sky reappeared and the sun shone on the earth.
Moreover, a strange scene appeared in the sky after the thunder.
"Look! There are so many birds—"
"The biggest one is—oh my god, the legendary phoenix!"
"God has shown his power!"
A group of people knelt down again, closed their eyes, clasped their hands together, and muttered something, not knowing what they were praying to some god.
This was Xue Huan's second time to go through the foundation-building tribulation. She was very familiar with the process. After finishing, she jumped onto the spirit boat and returned to the three Zhangs.
Unlike the villagers at the foot of the mountain, the mother, daughter and three others were very comfortable throughout the whole process. Although they saw the thunder outside, they did not feel scared because the barrier blocked the sound. Instead, they were in the mood to appreciate it while scrubbing their bodies.
After washing their hair and taking a bath with the fragrant soap provided by Xue Huan, the mother, daughter and three others felt refreshed and renewed. When they put on the new clothes hanging on the screen, they felt that they were no longer themselves.
These clothes are so light, so soft, and so beautiful that they wear them with great care, fearing that their rough hands will scratch and tear them. But they can't not wear them either. After all, they have washed them so clean and they still smell good. If they were asked to wear their old clothes again, they would be disgusted.
But after putting them on, they still felt very uncomfortable. They didn't know what to do with their hands and feet, and they walked in fear, afraid that they would trip over the hem of the skirt and make it messy.
In fact, their worries were completely unnecessary. Although these clothes were not robes, they were just as dust-proof, waterproof and fire-proof, and dust could not fall on them.
The mother, daughter and their two children were enjoying themselves as if in a dream. When they saw Xue Huan coming back, they hurried to greet her and forgot to take care of their skirts for a moment.
Xue Huan looked at them wearing new clothes after bathing and nodded.
It can be seen that Zhang has a good foundation. Even though she is old now and has wrinkles on her face, you can still tell that she was a beauty when she was young.
Daya and Sanya obviously inherited her good foundation, with good facial features. However, due to years of hard work and lack of food and clothing, they became pale and thin, and their color was reduced to only 4 or 5 points.
But this little bit of beauty also makes them stand out from other girls in the village.
After eating the spiritual food, most of the impurities and toxins deposited in their bodies were expelled, making their skin condition much better. In addition, after eating their fill, they knew that Xue Huan was here to help them, and they felt more confident. Their whole spirit was different.
Now wearing new beautiful dresses, they are completely different from before.
There was a gleam in his eyes, and he felt full of life from the inside out.
Xue Huan felt relieved.
She walked forward, put away the screen and bathtub, and left the two puppets outside to act as her followers. Even immortals need servants to show off their abilities.
Afterwards, she used magic to dry the wet hair of the three Zhangs and took them onto the spirit boat.
"What are your plans?" Xue Huan asked Zhang's mother, daughter and three others on the spirit boat.
Daya said resolutely, "Even if I have to beg on the street, I will never go back to that house."
This time, no one in the family, from her grandmother to her youngest cousin and even her father, objected to selling her. The moment she was caught by her father and locked up in the woodshed, she was filled with despair and prayed that someone would come to save her.
Finally, she waited for her mother to come, but before she could run away, she was caught again.
The most painful thing in the world is not having no hope, but falling into deeper despair after having hope.
But there is no most desperate, only more desperate.
She curled up in the woodshed all night without sleeping, thinking about how she could get away, and she also fantasized that she could escape halfway.
But her grandmother actually drugged her, making her weak and powerless, and she didn't even have the strength to resist.
When she was carried into the sedan chair, she thought she would never be able to escape.
I have already made up my mind to die.
However, at this moment, the sister she had even forgotten came back and pulled her out of the quagmire.
Now that she's out, why would she go back?
It was her mother who conceived and raised her. The meals she ate at the Liu family and the few clothes she wore were enough to repay her for the more than ten years she had worked like a slave at the Liu family.
From now on, she will live for herself.
Daya had the determination and courage to fight to the death.
Erya also expressed her opinion: "I won't go back either. If I go back, I will definitely be sold by grandma. I don't want to be the wife of an old man who is old enough to be my father."
The two daughters expressed their determination one after another, and then they looked at their mother together.
Faced with the hopeful eyes of her two daughters, Zhang almost shed tears. It was all because of her incompetence as a mother that they had to suffer with her.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say: Okay, then we won’t go back, and the three of us will live outside from now on.
But this is easier said than done!
Without the Liu family, they would be three weak women. How could they earn money to support themselves? Even if they could earn money to support themselves, without a man to support the family, they would not be able to keep the money, and trouble would come sooner or later.
Moreover, what about Daya and Sanya’s marriage in the future?
Zhang remained silent for a long time, which made the light in Daya and Sanya's eyes gradually dim.
Seeing this, Zhang was heartbroken.
Xue Huan frowned and asked directly, "I have two options for you. One is that I will give you a large sum of money directly, which will allow you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life. After you have the money, you can buy houses and land, hire servants, or start a business.
"The other thing is that I'm going to give you a secret recipe that will help you make a living. With this secret recipe, you can sell it directly or build up your business step by step. It's all up to you.
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. Only when you stand on your own feet can you live a better life. If you put your hopes on others, especially those who only care about how to squeeze out your value, you will only end up with a tragic end."
Daya: "I choose the secret recipe!"
Sanya: "I'll choose the secret recipe too."
Zhang hesitated: "We have never done business before. Even if we have the secret recipe, I am afraid we won't make much money for a while. Why not..."
