659 Encountering Bandits
After that, Mr. Zhao left. As for what would happen later, Liu Qi didn’t know.
“Brother, if that’s the case, then it must be that when sister Yuelan came to find me that day, she found out about the situation in our residence. In order to help us, she thought of this plan.” Liu Jiaying said very excitedly, ” I was wondering why things were so coincidental. It just so happened that you weren’t at home. I had a fight with Liu Jiaxin and was locked up by father. When father said that he wanted to divorce mother, Chen Meizhen’s adulterer appeared.”
When Liu Qi heard Liu Jiaying’s words, he was stunned. He asked, “Ying ‘Er, what did you say? Father wants to divorce mother?!”
Liu Jiaying nodded and said, ” yes. All of this is just a plot of that man and woman. They want to use this as an excuse to divorce our mother and let Chen Meizhen become the lady of the Liu family. Then, we will be demoted from the first children in line.”
When Liu Qi heard this, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the table. He said hatefully, ” what a sinister plan. What a good father!” Liu Qi’s eyes were filled with hatred. It was obvious that he was targeting his father.
Liu Jiaying looked at her brother’s expression and said seriously, ” brother, forget it. In any case, he is now getting his retribution. Originally, I didn’t plan to forgive him for the rest of my life. However, I’m afraid that our mother’s heart will soften and forgive him very soon.”
Liu Jiaying was both angry and helpless against such a father.
…
After Lin yuelan had made all the necessary arrangements for the Lin family Village, she took Caixia, Mingyue, and two other guards to Zhou Shan city.
The three of them sat in the carriage. Caixia lifted the curtains in the carriage and looked at the bare land outside. Occasionally, there would be one or two people in ragged clothes with their backs hunched, looking for something. She immediately said with a little melancholy, ” every winter, how many people freeze to death or starve to death? ”
If Lin yuelan hadn’t bought the two sisters, they might have frozen to death in the wilderness this winter.
Mingyue was also looking at the desolate scenery outside, but her eyes were filled with anticipation as she said, “Sister, perhaps from next year onwards, there won’t be so many people starving to death or freezing to death.”
Caixia looked at Mingyue in confusion.
Mingyue looked at her master quietly playing with a teacup and said to Caixia with a smile, “Sister, have you forgotten? Master could grow eight stones of grain per mu. If master were to promote the farming method, as long as people were diligent, even if they did not have the eight stones per mu like master, they would at least have a yield of four to five stones per mu. The yield per mu was four to five stones. With a few mu of land, how many stones would there be? Even if they paid the taxes, it would not be a problem to feed a family. Don’t you agree, master?”
Mingyue could only say this because Lin yuelan would indeed promote this farming method. First, it was a measure to enter the eyes of the top. Second, she really couldn’t bear to see these people struggling to fill their stomachs every day.
Caixia and Mingyue were a pair of sisters who were bought by Lin yuelan from the human trade market in An Ding County. They were three years older than Lin Yuelan and were 15 years older.
Previously, Caixia and Mingyue were also maidservants who had served the young ladies of large families. However, because the two sisters were more beautiful than the young miss, the young miss had found an excuse to sell them off. After all, no young miss liked maidservants who were more beautiful than the young miss.
Because the two sisters were relatively beautiful, when the madam brought them to the market, they immediately caught the attention of the brothel’s procuress or those perverted men who wanted to buy the sisters.
However, the two sisters looked at those people with bad intentions and gritted their teeth, saying, ” if we have to sell our bodies or become the toys of these stinky men, we might as well just die.”
Just as they were in a deadlock, Lin yuelan opened her mouth and bought them at a high price.
For this, Caixia and Mingyue were extremely grateful.
Oh, by the way, the name Caixia and Mingyue was given by Lin yuelan.
Lin yuelan put down her teacup and smiled at Mingyue. “Mingyue, don’t you think too highly of your master? ”
Mingyue snorted. “Hmph, I didn’t think too highly of master. This would have become a reality in the future. Master will definitely be worshipped by the world in the future.” As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest. Her eyes were filled with longing and respect.
Lin yuelan shook her head helplessly.
