Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 81 - 81 81 Nemesis 1

81: Chapter 81: Nesis _1 81: Chapter 81: Nesis _1 In the following days, Zhulan consciously paid attention to the movents next door and learned that Wang Ru took an ox cart to the county every day.

She didn’t know how Wang Ru managed to persuade Wang Laosi, but seeing him strolling around the village with his hands clasped behind his back, no longer downtrodden as he had been days before, it seed likely that Wang Ru had co up with so way to make money.

Zhulan calculated the days, figuring Zhou Shuren should have arrived in Jiangnan by now.

The North had donned its silver drapery, and she wondered what sort of scenery the ancient South must be showcasing.

She envied Zhou Shuren!

In Jiangnan, Zhou Shuren had been there for three days and had gained so understanding of the ancient region’s imnse wealth.

There were famous establishnts everywhere, and the number of spending dens along the river was as nurous as cow hair.

He also witnessed the extravagance with which the prodigal sons of bankrupt rchants spent money – tossing Silver Notes around as if they were re paper.

Zhou Shuren had plans in his heart and knew that the Ard Escort Agency would only stay in Jiangnan for ten days.

In three days, he got to know so scholars and demonstrated his eye for antique appraisal.

Initially approached by those who were skeptical, once his true abilities were recognized, the number of people requesting Zhou Shuren’s services grew.

Zhou Shuren marveled at how plentiful scholars were in Jiangnan.

The scholarly environnt played a role, but importantly, so did Silver Coin.

With the economy being the most developed in Jiangnan and families having extra money to afford educational expenses, the number of scholars naturally increased.

The downside was that the Imperial examination in Jiangnan was the most difficult to pass.

Ti flew quickly.

After spending eight days in Jiangnan, Zhou Shuren had completed ten jobs and earned one thousand taels of Silver Coin.

He also appraised antiques for so minor officials free of charge, who rewarded him with books and ink.

Zhou Shuren didn’t feel the slightest embarrassnt at being looked down upon.

Being underestimated was a fact, as he hadn’t even attained the rank of Scholar.

While rchants might pay him respect, those with true status didn’t regard Zhou Shuren as significant.

He also incidentally sold a good number of the family recipes, though mostly to small rchants.

The only significant sale was to a rchant from the foreign clans of Tubo: instead of taking Silver Coin, he traded for a gemstone and later converted the gemstone into Silver Coin.

The Li family’s trip to Jiangnan reaped a rich harvest of one hundred and twenty taels of Silver Coin.

Zhou Shuren intended to undertake antique appraisal just this once to earn so household assets for property investnts.

He would not continue in the future, for doing it once without gaining official recognition was fine, but doing it repeatedly could tarnish his reputation and negatively affect his chances in the Imperial examination.

After his return, he planned to diligently stay ho, study, and prepare for the exams.

On the last day, Zhou Shuren, accompanied by his father-in-law, went on a shopping spree.

He also pawned the jewelry Zhulan had given him.

Antique pearls were indeed valuable; a pearl necklace along with a pair of high-quality bracelets fetched one hundred and fifty taels.

With the fifty taels he had brought and the one thousand four hundred taels in his possession, after spending a re twenty taels on travel expenses, Zhou Shuren had plenty of Silver Coin in hand and didn’t hold back on his purchases.

Eventually, he hired a horse carriage from the Ard Escort Agency and filled it with several large boxes of goods.

The Li family bought less, but considering the rarity of their trip to Jiangnan and how things were cheaper than in the North, they still purchased a box full of items.

As Zhulan finally waited at ho for Wang Ru to success in making sausages, Zhou Shuren embarked on his journey back with the Ard Escort Agency.

Since learning about Wang Ru’s knowledge of her daughter’s role as the female lead, Zhulan had been on guard, anticipating Wang Ru’s scheming.

She did not know if it was because Xue Han had severed ties with Wang Ru, making it difficult to calculate her moves, but Wang Ru had been behaving quite earnestly.

When the sausages were ready earlier than expected, Zhulan realized that it was not that Wang Ru didn’t want to sche against the Zhou family; she was actually considering collaborating with the Illigetimate Son on the sausage venture.

In the novel, the first product Wang Ru started with was spicy kimchi.

It was only after the kimchi stopped being profitable that she gradually developed the sausages.

Unfortunately, due to the deviation of the plot caused by Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, spicy kimchi was plentiful everywhere, forcing Wang Ru to release the sausages early.

Lady Li beca terribly agitated when she couldn’t taste the sausages, feeling especially aggrieved, “Mother, I’ll go buy so sausages.

That girl Xue Han won’t sell to personally and even told people that she’d refuse to sell to anyone who gives a taste.

Moreover, she’s not just withholding sales from but also from our family and my maternal family.

Isn’t this bullying?”

Zhulan silently observed Lady Li.

Given what had happened with the spicy kimchi, she wouldn’t want to sell to Lady Li either if she were Wang Ru.

Lady Li seed to have a knack for ruining everything for Wang Ru!
