It turned out that after the incident with the Liang Family that day, even though Chen Laoer and his wife had promised to take good care of Chen Jing under Old Village Head's pressure, they were unable to withstand Liang Xiu's mother's repeated machinations!

Actually, it was due to Chen Laoer and his wife's stupidity that they agreed when they heard that the Guo Family was willing to offer sixty silver taels to Chen Jing to serve her as their daughter. Chen Jing, on the other hand, was unwilling after hearing the news, but couldn't bear the pressure from the two of them.

When this matter became public, Old Village Head received the news very quickly. He asked around and found out the whole story. Then, he angrily came up to the door and scolded Chen and his wife. However, when he saw that Chen Jing no longer wanted to live, he felt very upset!

After returning home, it was Madam Wang who came up with the idea to directly sell Chen Jing her body to the Luo Family. Since she was still staying in the Chen family, Chen Er and his wife might not treat her well, and life might not be as tough as it was in the past.

The reason why Madam Wang mentioned Luo Qiuyun and the others was because in the entire village, other than Luo Family, no one else could afford to buy maids.

Of course, even if they could afford it, no one would be willing to buy a cousin from the same sect to serve them.

Listening to Old Village Head's explanation, Luo Qiuyun knew that she couldn't refuse anymore. She thought to herself: It's a human life after all. I didn't mind spending a few dozen taels of silver to buy it, then I'll buy it!

He made up his mind, but Luo Qiuyun didn't let him go immediately. After all, she had to protect her own interests. After all, a favor was a favor. Spending money meant that it was worth it.

Luo Qiuyun walked in front of Chen Jing and said, "Tell me, do you want to sell yourself to me? From now on, you are not allowed to betray us? "

"If you are willing, I can buy you. Of course, once you enter our Luo Family, us siblings will definitely not treat you unfairly." Luo Qiuyun said this because she wanted the opposite party to think it through. She didn't want him to say that she and Old Village Head were the ones who forced her.

"I do." Although she had moved here not long ago, she was still the richest family in the village. Seeing them buy houses and land the moment they arrived, Chen Jing knew that with Madam Wang on the side, Chen Jing had a good impression of the Luo Family siblings.

"Alright, Village Chief, Uncle, let's prepare to make a contract. There is one more thing I want to say, since Chen Jing has sold her body to our Luo Family, from today onwards, she will be a member of my Luo Family. No matter who it is, your Chen family has no right to rely on her identity as an elder to find her. Luo Qiuyun said.

"Sure." Old Village Head knew that she was trying to prevent Chen Laoer and his wife from causing trouble. After thinking for a while, she finally agreed.

Selling her body to be a slave wasn't what he wanted, but he could only watch as Chen Jing was forced to death. As an elder, Old Village Head was the most open-minded of all, wanting to become a beauty.

If it were any other village or elder, they would probably rather Chen Jing had been forced to death than have her become an outsider's servant.

Chen Jing should be considered lucky, but her life shouldn't end here! He just so happened to have an elder like Old Village Head, and coincidentally bumped into Luo Qiuyun …

"Tianli, go to your study and get some ink and paper. Later, write these down as well. Do you have any objections, Village Head Uncle?" Luo Qiuyun asked.

Old Village Head paused for a moment, sighed heavily and said, "Write it."

Luo Qiuyun no longer paid any attention to the helpless Old Village Head. She picked up the pen and ink, and started to write. The format of the writing was approximately the same as that of the housing deed and the land deed, in triplicate. Luo Family, Old Village Head and Chen Jing each took one copy.

After signing, drawing, giving money, and making a series of movements without any delay, Chen Jing became a part of Luo Family.

Chen Jing didn't want to get into any trouble with the Chen family after she sold herself, so she left the money to Old Village Head to take back.

Old Village Head knew that Chen Jing was completely disappointed with Chen Laoer and Chen Laoer, so he agreed to her request and left in silence.

After watching Old Village Head leave, Chen Jing remained calm. Luo Qiuyun knew that her heart was in pain, so she didn't say anything more. She just told her to go back to her room to tidy up her room, take care of the house's hygiene and food. If Luo Qiuyun wasn't free, then she would take care of Luo Tianxiang …

Although there was one more person at home, there was still no change in what they should do. One day, Luo Qiuyun woke up early in the morning and left Luo Tianxiang with Chen Jing while she brought Luo Tianli to town.

He had a lot of presents in his hands, including some food cooked at home and two taels of silver as "tuition fee" for attending the academy. He came outside to seek an audience with the teacher. It was said that the old teacher of this town had once been some kind of high official. Afterwards, he offended someone and was deposed, so he came here to start teaching and educating …

After Luo Qiuyun, Luo Tianli, and some others passed on their knowledge, not long after, the old man came out, "It's you who's going to the academy?" the old teacher asked, pointing at Luo Tianli.

"Yes, Teacher." Luo Tianli answered in a very standard manner because Luo Qiuyun had taught him before the incident.

"Hm?" The teacher didn't expect Luo Tianli to react like this and was curious, "Not bad, he's a good seedling. I don't know how good his comprehension ability is, so you should stay. If you learn well, you should stay.

"Thank you very much, Teacher. I will remember your teachings. In the future, I will study diligently and not cheat. I will strive to get my reputation as soon as possible." Luo Tianli said.

"Alright, this is what you said. Since you intend to have a good name, then you must persevere and work hard. Follow me." The teacher agreed to accept Luo Tianli.

Luo Qiuyun passed the gift and silver to the other party and left early without waiting for Luo Tianli to finish school.

On the other side, Luo Tianli followed the teacher into the academy. Since it was the first day of school, they were supposed to take a look at the teachers before arranging their seats. However, after this round of study, Luo Tianli was accepted as a disciple on the spot due to his outstanding performance, causing many to be envious of him.

Luo Tianli didn't expect it to be like this and was very happy in his heart. When he came back that day to tell Luo Qiuyun everything, Luo Qiuyun seemed to have already guessed that it would be like this and didn't have much of a reaction. She only warned him to not be arrogant and do what he had to do.

Seeing this, Luo Tianli was a bit disappointed. However, he knew Luo Qiuyun's temperament, so he quickly thought it through and worked even harder from now on.

After a few more days, Luo Qiuyun began to get busy with farming in the spring. Her family members were too few, plus Luo Tianli had to go to school every day, so she could only hire people to grow the dry land behind the mountain.

Therefore, Luo Qiuyun initially did not find many people, but after hearing that Luo Family's wages were high, in a few days, it would be rather difficult for them to earn some money first, then they would busy themselves with the idea of coming over to help, thus, Luo Family became the first village in the village to grow a good land.

Unlike other families, Luo Qiuyun planted most of her land in the middle of corn and wheat, while the rest of the land was planted in the middle of corn and wheat. She planted some low crops, such as peanuts, sesame seeds, red beans, and mung beans, in order to make full use of the land.

After paying her last bit of wages, Luo Qiuyun discovered that she only had two taels of silver left on her hands. If she were to keep the notes and gold for emergency use in the future, she could be considered a real pauper now.

"Looks like I have to hurry up and think of a way. How can I earn money?" Luo Qiuyun pondered for a long time before coming up with a decision that she thought was a good one.

The next day, Luo Qiuyun went to town early in the morning to buy ten catties of pork and quite a lot of ingredients needed to make the stewed meat. On the same day, she started to make the stewed meat.

Luo Qiuyun did not remember the specific procedure as being very firm. She tried it several times before finally producing the best brine.

After the meat was stewed, the aroma drifted off, drawing in the neighbors.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Madam Wang was rather familiar with Luo Qiuyun, so even though the people who came were very curious, she was the first one to speak.

"Making cured meat, the secret recipe passed down in our family. What do you think, sister-in-law?" I'm going to sell it in town, do you think? " Luo Qiuyun said, as she gave her a piece of stewed pork.

"Yep, yummy, yummy. You want to sell it in the town?" Madam Wang thought for a while and said, "This cured meat is quite good. As for whether it's good or not, I've never tried it before. You can try it."

"Alright, I'll listen to sister-in-law." Luo Qiuyun smiled and said. First, she put away the gravy, then she divided the gravy among the villagers and brought them back to the village.

Knowing that Luo Qiuyun wanted to sell these foods, no one had any intention of selling these secret recipes. However, once Luo Qiuyun made her move, many of the villagers envied her for her ability.

Luo Qiuyun was thinking about the sale. That evening, Luo Tianli came back from the academy to find out about the matter and wanted to help. He got Luo Qiuyun to prepare a small portion of cured meat for him and brought it back to the academy tomorrow.

"Tianli, is this method feasible? Will it affect you? " Luo Qiuyun knew that Luo Tianli's idea was not bad, but the ancient scholars were all high-handed. If they knew that Luo Tianli had this idea, their reputation would be affected, and they would be worried.

Luo Tianli knew what she was thinking about. He shook his head and said, "Sis, it's okay, I won't be stupid enough to say it myself. Wait for my good news. From the looks of it, Luo Tianli was not a fool.

Seeing this, Luo Qiuyun finally calmed down and agreed that he should do so. However, because of this, the academy couldn't calm down for a long time. Even the teachers were conquered by the meat and went to Luo Tianli for it regardless of their status.

One of them was called Shen San, a direct descendant of the Jiangnan clan's Shen Family. His mother was a noble daughter of the Jingli Mansion. Unfortunately, because she was young and immature, she was thrown into a small town to be raised.

His relationship with Luo Tianli was formed from a fight. Previously, Luo Tianli had been valued highly by the teachers the moment he arrived at the academy, and Young Master Shen hated people like this the most. One day after school, he led several other students to block Luo Tianli at the intersection.

Because of this, Luo Tianli worried for the whole night, afraid that the other party would bring trouble to his family. In the end, on the second day of coming back, not only did Third Young Master Shen, who had a pig-headed face, not hate him, but he shamelessly wanted to become friends with Luo Tianli.
