Chapter 496: Chapter 323 Won the Match_2

For them, a hundred taels per household was already a substantial amount of money—you must realize, it was pure profit after deducting labor and fertilizer costs.

Though a hundred taels might sound like a small earnings to them by now, hadn’t their years of hard work earned them far more than a re hundred taels?

Besides cultivating Bull Power in the mountains, they also planted rice and vegetables on those fields, growing crops all year round, resulting in a considerable harvest.

Initially, they thought buying the estate was expensive, but more than three years had passed, they had long since recouped the investnt, and even made so profit.

As long as it wasn’t a loss, they would continue to plant, and with previous experience, they had plans to cultivate more dicinal herbs besides Bull Power.

They also raised seedlings. This year, while still planting Bull Power, the family leased a few more hills to cultivate other dicinal herbs like chrysanthemums and honeysuckle, which were easy to harvest.

Moreover, they gathered herbs used for treating bruises and wounds, like Panax notoginseng, along with other dicinal wild grasses from the mountains to plant, aiming to organize a dicinal herb cultivation base.

Ever since Ye Shiqi obtained a dical Book that year, she had been diligently studying each dicinal herb, thus she drew specins of common herbs found in the mountains, those used for treating bruises and wounds.

This created a use for so villagers who couldn’t work at the estate or factory, like children and the elderly.

Since the opening of the wood mill and the bicycle factory at the entrance to their village, not only the young n and ladies had work, but also won needing to provide for their families.

Many capable won outperford the n and earned higher wages than so of the Old Masters in the factory.

Ye Shiqi self-taught from the dical Book in that bag. She began by carving a human silhouette out of a winter lon.

Seeing her do this, her doting wet nurse specially carved a wooden figure for her, marking each acupoint with labels.

Ye Shiqi’s secretive learning was confined to her imdiate family’s knowledge, as well as the two maids beside her; her grandparents, Aunt Lai, and her children were unaware.

Not to ntion the other workers in the house, who had no chance to enter the Lady’s room, how could they know the secrets within?

Aunt Lai joined the Ye family and gave birth to a daughter in the second year, who was now over two years old.

Ye Shiqi and her family could feel that the Old Master was very disappointed, and so was Aunt Lai.

However, the concubine seed relieved, often speaking with a hint of sarcasm, “Hmph, gave birth to a loss, what’s there to be proud of?”

Aunt Lai…, she would always get angry at such words, yet could only act coquettishly with the Old Master.

After having a child, her husband considered hiring a maid or a wet nurse to take care of the baby.

Hongji’s father also thought that having another child sleeping alongside them would impede the dream of having a son, so he asked his daughter-in-law to hire a wet nurse.

Mrs. Li, having no choice, eventually hired a wet nurse from another village for the infant girl, for in their village, as long as one was physically able and not lazy, everyone could earn money.

Who would leave their own child to beco a wet nurse for soone else and then live in that person’s house?

Mrs. Li rembered how she had left her own child behind to beco a wet nurse, although she later received so compensation for it.

However, those few months when the baby was so small, were really heartbreaking!

After giving birth to a daughter, Aunt Lai once again harbored ambitions of gaining power, continuously whispering into her husband’s ear.

Hongji’s father, under her influence, raised the issue many tis at the dinner table. Hongji was the first to object, followed by Mrs. Lai using the argunt that Aunt Lai had not yet given birth to a son.

She advised him to attend well to the Old Master and to bear more offspring. Each ti Mrs. Lai said this, she would grind her teeth and curse inwardly.

Mrs. Li always maintained a gentle appearance, she avoided confrontation unless soone crossed her bottom line by abusing her daughter or son.

Sotis, despite not arguing, her words made people realize that she was not soone to be trifled with, no longer the weak woman she once was.

Aunt Lai…, each ti she couldn’t get what she wanted, would sotis secretly pinch her baby to make her cry, then seek more attention from the Old Master.

The hired wet nurse, seeing bruises on the baby, didn’t dare to speak up but would secretly communicate with Mrs. Li.

The infant, initially crying for her mother, gradually recognized people and realized her own mother was always hitting her, while others looked at her with kindness.

Thus, afterwards, upon seeing Aunt Lai, she would cry, refusing to be held or sleep with her.
