Before Qiao Zhixia harvested her first batch of medicinal herbs, she also completed the relevant procedures for planting and selling medicinal herbs.

Soon, the astragalus and gastrodia elata she planted were bought out by major pharmaceutical companies due to their excellent quality.

This is because she planted samples in advance and conducted quantitative testing, allowing the marketing and sales departments to make arrangements in advance and find target customers.

Her asking price is one cent higher than similar herbs on the market, but the medicinal properties of each of her herbs are more than several times that of ordinary herbs.

The dosage has been reduced and the cost has also been reduced.

So although her herbs may seem expensive, they are actually more cost-effective.

So the sales prospects are very good.

In the early spring, she arranged for people to plant 50 mu of rice, and also planted nearly 100 mu of soybeans and 200 mu of sweet potatoes in the orchard on the mountain.

Some of this is to be sold to the state as ordered grain, and also to cope with the upcoming visit of agricultural experts to the TV station.

It was a coincidence that the day when the TV station came was the day when Chen Jidong returned with the rescued Xia Hongmei.

But in just over two months, Xia Hongmei became a crazy girl with disheveled hair. She would take off her pants with a silly smile on her face when she saw people, because she had been trained to take off her pants without getting beaten.

The cameraman was nearly frightened into falling into the paddy field by the woman who rushed over and took off her pants in front of him. Fortunately, he closed the cover of his camera quickly, otherwise he would have recorded some embarrassing scenes.

Chen Jidong chased after his crazy mother, his face tired and defeated.

Why was Xia Hongmei the only one who came back?

Because Chen Lingling stayed in that cannibalistic village forever.

Qiao Zhixia heard from Secretary Chen's eldest daughter-in-law that Chen Lingling was tortured to death less than a month after being sold away.

When the corpse was dug out, several of its bones were broken and it was in a rotten state.

Not only has Xia Hongmei gone mad, she has also contracted a rotten meat disease, so she stinks. Now the Chen family has no choice but to lock her up and keep her.

But Xia Hongmei always howled in the house at night, disturbing the whole family and the neighbors.

At first, some people scolded Chen Jidong for not thinking it over. Why did he bring back a mother like this? Isn't this harming people?

Chen Jidong explained at first that he couldn't bear to see his mother being bullied to death outside.

But after a long time, he was tortured by Xia Hongmei to the point of being mentally weakened and gradually lost his good temper.

She was given a meal a day to prevent her from starving to death, and she was treated like a pig or a dog.

But even so, Wang Ruoqiu was still not satisfied.

Because now she has to take care of the children alone, cook and clean, and endure the stench of her crazy mother-in-law's crazy scolding.

Now her hands have become rough from doing housework, and her figure has been deformed after giving birth. She can no longer wear those beautiful blouses she used to wear.

Her hair was dry and frizzy, and the skin on her face was sallow, loose, and blotchy.

Today she is a typical sloppy rural woman.

She became the type of woman she once despised.

This is not the life she wants, she shouldn't be like this...

The crying of the baby, the scolding of the crazy mother-in-law, the shouting and urging of Chen Jidong... the endless housework and endless feeding were driving her crazy.

I thought Chen Jidong and his buddy had a chance to turn things around, but it turned out to be a scam, and the person who raised the funds ran away with the purchase money.

Even if you call the police, it is unlikely that the money will be recovered.

Now Chen Jidong not only has no money, but also owes thousands of dollars in debt.

He now works as a farmer in town. Every day he goes home to till the land in front of and behind his house and plant vegetables. Although his life is a bit hard, he can make ends meet with the subsidy from Chen 뀗ge.

Every time he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, he would think of Wang Ruoqiu's son, and he could endure it.

But Wang Ruoqiu couldn't bear such a life any more. Chen Jidong had no hope of recovery, and she could no longer see the handsomeness and elegance he once had.

He met an ordinary farmer.

That night, while Chen Jidong was asleep, she pulled out a drawer, wrote a letter and sent it to the provincial capital...

Chen Jidong was so busy making a living that he didn't notice Wang Ruoqiu's perfunctory and cold attitude towards him.

When I returned home in the evening a few days later, the house was still deserted and my son's diapers and clothes were still in the laundry tub, untouched.

땤Wang Ruoqiu was actually putting on lipstick in front of the mirror.

She hasn't dressed up for a long time.

"What day is today? Why don't you cook?"

Wang Ruoqiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Chen Jidong, I want to divorce you. Go cook for yourself if you want to eat!"

Chen Jidong thought he had misheard. He was stunned and asked, "What did you say? You want to divorce me?"

Wang Ruoqiu looked at him with contempt, "Yes! I want to divorce you. I want to take my son back to the city. You have to endure the hard life in the countryside alone!"

Chen Jidong didn't expect that Wang Ruoqiu, who was always gentle and obedient, would have such a look. He was shocked and at a loss.

"Why? You clearly said at the beginning that you were willing to spend the rest of your life with me regardless of whether I had money or not! Are you lying?"

"You said you would give me a rich life, that I would have no worries about food and clothing, and that I could just enjoy life happily. But look at the life you are giving me now? Do you still have the nerve to blame me for lying to you?"

Chen Jidong was speechless for a moment. He did promise, but how did he become like this step by step?

Isn't it because of her?

The memories of the past love-hate relationship kept lingering in his heart. His love for her was real, and his resentment was not false.

After the love and resentment offset each other, love was still greater in the end, after all, this girl had given so much for him.

"You gave up the college entrance exam for me. Do you really want to divorce me now? My current difficulties are temporary. I will start a business again. I promise to compensate you in time."

But after hearing his pleading words of surrender, Wang Ruoqiu sneered mercilessly:

"You are such an idiot. You believe everything I say. I didn't take the college entrance examination not because of you, but because I didn't want to take it. Do you think the college entrance examination is something that one person can pass? I just lied to make you feel sorry for me, but you really believed it. Don't you know that I hired the pickpocket?"

After hearing this, Chen Jidong felt as if a bucket of ice had been poured over his head: "What did you say?"

A few years ago, on the day when Wang Ruoqiu took the college entrance examination, Chen Jidong was sending her to the examination room. On the way, he got into a fight with two pickpockets and was stabbed in the stomach. In order to send him to the hospital, Wang Ruoqiu voluntarily gave up the college entrance examination and took care of him in the hospital for many days without taking off her clothes.

He would never forget how considerate and gentle she was at that time.

But she said it was all fake?

"I told you that you are a fool. Don't make empty promises to me. Do you think I will believe you? Only that idiot Qiao Zhixia would believe your lies. But what did she get? After you used her, you ruthlessly abandoned her on the wedding day?"

Wang Ruoqiu pursed her lips, her face full of sneer. Seeing this wretched man looking so devastated, she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.

Chen Jidong was staggering and about to fall, almost unable to stand.

It felt like he had fired a shot into the air many years ago, and now it had hit him right between the eyebrows.

"So you've never been attracted to me or liked me, right? All your previous behavior was fake? Your love was also fake?" Even though some of the answers were already very clear, he still wanted her to say it herself.

Wang Ruoqiu sneered out loud: "I said you are stupid and you still don't believe me. Can love and liking be used to make a living? I only know that I married you to enjoy happiness. If you can't give me the life I want, I should let you go."

"Wang Ruoqiu, don't you think you are too selfish? Even if you have never cared about me, have you ever considered your son?"

"Don't worry about my son. His biological father will come to pick us up soon..."
