Cong Luo's departure and Gu Dahua's remarriage became the latest gossip among the villagers of Taohua Village.

Some were discussing that Roche must have found a buyer.

Some people said that Gu Dahua looked honest, but they didn't expect that he would hook up with a girl from the next village so quickly.

Some people sympathize with the two children left behind by the Luo family. Not only are they not wanted by their biological mother, they now have a stepmother.

However, no matter how lively Taohua Village was, it did not affect the leisurely life of Shen Rong and Changsheng.

That’s right, in Shen Rong’s view, these days are leisurely days. With food and money, and no worries about food and drink, isn’t that leisurely?

In her previous life, in order to support Gu Zhaoming's studies, Shen Rong was busy all day long. She had to take care of both farm work and housework, and she never had a chance to rest.

It’s not like now. When she bought the 20 acres of land, she rented it out. So Shen Rong doesn’t have to go to the fields for this autumn harvest.

In the future, those days will be a matter of renting out the land and collecting rent.

As for Changsheng, when the autumn harvest came, he took a sickle and went to Shen Rong's mother's field to help harvest the rice.

The most important thing for Shen Rong every day was to wear a straw hat and go back and forth between the fields to deliver meals to Changsheng.

Sixth Grandpa and Sixth Grandma were already used to helping Shen Rong's family with the harvest, but the old people couldn't help but feel sorry for their grandson, so when Sixth Grandpa went to other villages for medical consultations, he would always bring back some pork from time to time for Shen Rong to cook.

Even though it's autumn now, the sun can still cause people to peel off their skin.

Shen Rong watched Changsheng getting darker and thinner in just a few days, and she couldn't help but feel distressed. She was also extra careful when cooking.

Of course, she did not forget her parents, and she stewed medicinal meals several times and sent them back to her parents' home. Even the tea that everyone drank when they went out to the fields was the herbal tea that Shen Rong specially made to reduce internal heat and prevent heatstroke.

Seeing this, Sixth Grandma said nothing.

But Shen Rong has money and is confident.

After seven or eight days of rushing to harvest, all the grain from Shen Rong's mother's home was collected, and Changsheng could finally take a break.

The twenty acres of land that Shen Rong bought this year are top-quality farmland, and she can collect rent from them this year.

The best farmland could yield three to four shi of grain per acre. After deducting the one-tenth tax paid to the court, the rest was divided into 40% and 60%, with Shen Rong getting 40% and the tenants getting 60%.

Shen Rong didn't collect much rent. Most of the rent was split 50-50. There was also the black-hearted landlord who split it 30-70, with 70% for the landlord and 30% for the tenant.

Shen Rong only collected 40% of the rent, and the grain she collected was more than 20 dan, which was equivalent to more than 3,000 to nearly 4,000 kilograms of rice, enough for Shen Rong's family of four to eat for a whole year.

After the grain was harvested, Changsheng was busy drying the grain.

Fortunately, we often dry medicine at home, the yard is big enough, and there are many large drying guns at home. We can just pour the millet onto the drying guns and dry it quickly and cleanly.

Gu family, after the autumn harvest, Shen Yuan family also collected some rent, but the Gu family did not have much land, only twelve acres, a few acres of dry land, a few acres of paddy fields, and none of them were top-quality land. The rent collected was less than half of what Shen Rong collected.

A part of it was beans, and a small part was rice. Although the amount was not much, it finally eased the family's financial situation. At least the family of three did not have to worry about food for most of the year.

After several months of recuperation, Liu's health was almost recovered. This time, she decided not to rent out the house, even before collecting rent.

With more than ten acres of land, if they cultivate it themselves, their family of three won't have to spend a penny on food for the whole year, and there will even be some left over.

When Shen Yuan learned of Liu's decision, her heart suddenly tightened. She didn't want to go to the fields to work!

Shen Yuan thought about it for a whole night and finally decided to make handmade soap and sell it. Even if the price was lower and he only earned some hard-earned money, it was still better than working in the fields.

Before the autumn harvest, the college was on vacation and Gu Zhaoming returned to the village.

After returning to the village, he worried about his livelihood and what gift to give to his teacher.

Mid-Autumn Festival gifts are given to teachers four times a year, and once on the fifteenth day of the second month of each season.

Gu Zhaoming didn't have any of these expenses.

When Shen Yuan learned that Gu Zhaoming was going to give a gift, she was thinking about her own plans. She had just made some soap, so she cut the newly made soap into several patterns, squeezed it, and gave it to Gu Zhaoming as a gift.

Shen Yuan thought, sending one person is sending, sending a few people is also sending.

She simply cut some palm-sized soaps, wrapped them in oil paper and asked Gu Zhaoming to give them to his good classmates.

Unexpectedly, this gift helped Shen Yuan to open up some sales channels.

Gu Zhaoming was well-educated, and many of his classmates in school were willing to be friends with him.

After he gave some soap away, many of his classmates came to ask him to buy some.

As scholars, they often deal with ink. Sometimes they accidentally get it on their sleeves, and sometimes on their hands. People found that the ink could be washed clean quickly with soap, so classmates who had used ink came to ask Gu Zhaoming where the soap came from.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

Shen Yuan did not stop at selling soap to Gu Zhaoming's classmates. She set up a stall beside the main road leading to the temple in the south of the village. She sold soap on the right side of the stall and braised meat on the left. During the autumn harvest period, the temple was quite popular and the business at the stall was also good.

After all this trouble, life can finally show some hope.

Of course, Shen Yuan was not satisfied with such a life.

In the past, she had read stories about heroines who traveled back in time to ancient times and did farming and business, and were very successful in everything, and finally accumulated a huge fortune. But when it was her turn, she realized how difficult it was to actually do it.

Even if she made soap, someone would imitate her recipe in minutes and even make something better than hers.

For example, now, the girl in front of me looked at a bar of soap, chose for a long time, asked questions here and there, and finally bargained for a long time before she spent eight cents to buy a bar of soap.

The soap cost ten cents a piece, but the girl in front of him managed to squeeze Shen Yuan out of two cents.

Shen Yuan once again felt that earning this money was really hard. She always felt that she should be the heroine and should not live like this.

Liu knew that her son had spent all his savings on buying medicine for her, and she also knew that her son's tuition was once again uncertain. After Shen Yuan decided to return to his old job, she finally stopped making trouble and wholeheartedly helped Shen Yuan.

Gu Zhaoming was not idle either.

After the three of them were busy, Gu Zhaoming's tuition was finally collected.

Shen Yuan worked hard to earn some money, and all the members of the Gu family who had lent her money before jumped out and demanded repayment.

Shen Rong watched Shen Yuan busying himself with making a living, as if she saw herself in her previous life.

Of course, she didn't sympathize with Shen Yuan at all. After all, it was her own fault.

But Gu Zhaoming is so lucky!

In his two lifetimes, he had been sponsored to study. This time, as she looked at Shen Yuan who had worked hard for him, she suddenly wondered if Gu Zhaoming would become a juren one day and kill his wife in order to abandon her, just like he did in his previous life.
