When Chen Yuanyuan saw Shen Rong put away the clothes, the smile on her face became even more intense.

When she left, her back was straight, and she looked like a proud peacock.

Although Shen Rong did not hear what Chen Yuanyuan did specifically, she smelled a strange smell on her clothes.

She immediately packed up her clothes and planned to burn them after Chen Yuanyuan left Taohua Village.

In short, she would not wear this dress.

Although Shen Rongping wore old clothes when she was working, she actually had quite a lot of clothes, some of which were even made of very good materials, but she wore them very rarely.

She didn't want to arouse others' jealousy.

Chen Yuanyuan's visit had some impact on Shen Rong's feelings.

After Chen Yuanyuan left, she felt a little listless and couldn't even laugh.

Shen Rong's mood turned bad, and Changsheng was the first to notice it.

Originally Changsheng thought he had done something wrong, so he huddled in a corner to reflect for a long time. But after thinking it over, he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

As for Shen Rong, she did not notice that Changsheng was curled up in the corner reflecting on himself. She just wanted to be alone for a while. She did not notice that Changsheng was not with her as usual.

The two of them spent the whole morning like this. After lunch, Dong Ting suddenly trotted into the yard.

"Sister, Dad has bought the ox cart, you can go back and take a look!" The voice came in before Shen Dongting entered the yard.

Shen Rong stood up immediately, and her slightly depressed mood suddenly brightened up a little, "Really? I'll go back and take a look!"

Her parents bought an ox cart. This was a big deal and a happy event. Shen Rong didn't care about being sad and just walked to her parents' home.

Changsheng was counting ants in the yard. When he saw Shen Rong go out, he followed her without thinking.

As soon as Shen Dongting entered the yard, he was pulled out again by Shen Rong.

The three of them hurried back to the Shen family, only to see an ox cart and a yellow ox parked outside the gate of the Shen family's courtyard.

There were several villagers standing near the ox cart, talking to the yellow ox in great detail.

One said that the cow was very strong, and another said that the cow must have eaten a lot.

Others said that the cow was not as strong as the bull and that it was a bad buy. Of course, those who said this had a sour tone.

Others said that Shen Wu had become successful and was the first in the village.

Most of the people who said these words were men, while the women all stared at the ox cart.

The women only cared about whether the ox cart would carry passengers in the future and how much to charge when going to the town.

When someone asked this, the old man Shen who was soliciting customers tapped the pipe in his hand, looked at Shen Wu and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shen Wu quickly said that he had a lot of land at home and was too busy to handle it, so the ox cart would not pick up any passengers.

After hearing Shen Wu's answer, Old Man Shen's expression relaxed a lot.

The villager who asked this question couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after hearing Shen Wu's words.

The cow in Old Man Shen’s family is old and pulls the cart very slowly. When there are many people riding the cart, there is often not enough room. People who go out late can only walk to the town on foot.

For this reason, everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Old Man Shen's ox cart.

Do you think Shen Wu ever thought about making money by picking up passengers after buying the ox cart?

Of course he had thought about it, but when he thought that if he solicited customers, he would steal Old Man Shen's business, he gave up the idea.

Old Man Shen's family was not well off, and his son had passed away early. He was left with only an old wife to accompany him. He made a living by taking care of the peach orchard at the entrance of the village and driving a cart to pick up passengers. Shen Wu felt that he still had some strength left, so he did not plan to fight for this position.

Besides, he has already asked around to see who is selling land. By that time, when the family has more land, the cow will not have much time to rest.

Shen Rong stood outside the crowd, watching the cow being surrounded by her brother and sister-in-law and nephews and nieces. A few children secretly touched the cow's leg and quickly ran away. Her brother and sister-in-law were also laughing happily. Her parents were surrounded by the villagers and were talking, both of them with comfortable smiles on their faces.

When Shen Rong watched this scene, the depression in her heart inexplicably disappeared.

After being reborn for so long, she still hadn't trampled Gu Zhaoming into trouble. Instead, he was living better and better. Shen Rong was unwilling to accept this at first, but when she saw that her natal family was doing well and living happily, Shen Rong felt that what she had done since her rebirth was not as bad as she thought.

At least everyone is fine, her two sisters-in-law are fine, her nephews and nieces have both parents, and she is worth it even if she cannot get revenge in this life.

Shen Rong quickly figured it out, and the expression on her face became a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone should disperse. I've rushed all the way back and haven't eaten yet!" Shen Wu waved to everyone, then pulled the reins and led the cow into the backyard.

The villagers watched the cow go into the yard, then reluctantly dispersed in groups of three or four.

When Mrs. Lu saw Shen Rong coming over, she pulled Shen Rong into the house. When she left, she did not forget to tell Changsheng, "Changsheng, go with Dongting to see the cows!"

Changsheng was not interested in going to see the cows. His mind was now filled with the thought of not making his wife angry. But since his mother-in-law had spoken, he had no choice but to follow the group of little kids and go to the backyard to see the cows.

Inside the house, Mrs. Lu told her daughter in detail about Shen Wu's plan to buy land, and finally mentioned that the family was short of money.

"Mom, has Dad found a good piece of land? How much money does the family need? I'll go back and get it now." When Shen Rong heard that the family was still short of money to buy land, she immediately expressed her opinion.

"Buying land is a big deal and cannot be delayed. I will ask you to borrow some money first and then pay you back when I have money." Lu patted Shen Rong's hand with relief.

Father Shen Wu has his eyes on two pieces of land, one is 20 mu of top-quality dry land, and the other is 15 mu of top-quality paddy field.

Dry land is cheaper than paddy fields. Top-quality land costs five taels of silver per mu. The price of top-quality paddy fields is the same as the price Shen Rong bought last time, which is eight taels of silver per mu.

These thirty-five acres of land would cost more than two hundred taels. If all the Shen family's money were used to buy the land, it would naturally be enough.

But the fourth child, Dong Ting, is getting old enough to get married, and we can’t just not leave this little money for the emergency needs of the family!

Shen Wu discussed it with Mrs. Lu and decided to borrow part of the money from his daughter first and pay it back slowly in the future.

Shen Rong was not just talking when she said she wanted to lend money to her mother's family to buy land. Upon learning that her parents were going to borrow fifty taels of silver from her, Shen Rong stood up and went back to get the silver for her mother.

In fact, the family’s private money is all in Shen Rong’s space. As long as she wants, she can immediately take out the money to give to her mother.

But it was not appropriate for her to carry so many things with her, so she had to go back and get them.

When Shen Rong came out of the house, Changsheng was still feeding cows in the backyard with Shen Dongting and other children.

Shen Rong came from her mother's home alone.

She had to complete the act. There were villagers passing by everywhere on the road outside, so Shen Rong decided to go back for real.

Shen Rong's parents' home is in the west of the village, and her husband's family is in the east of the village. The two families span dozens of households in between, including the Gu family.

Shen Rong was so immersed in the joy of her mother's family's increasingly prosperous life that she subconsciously forgot about all the unpleasant people and things.

But unexpectedly, when she passed by Gu's house, someone suddenly grabbed her arm.

Shen Rong was startled and quickly looked back. The person who grabbed her was actually Gu Zhaoming.

"What are you doing? Let go!" Shen Rong's face turned cold and she said in a deep voice.
