Thinking of this, Chang Gui immediately made a decision. There was no need to even compare a daughter with no emotions with the prosperity and wealth of the entire family, so he made a decisive decision to let go of this daughter completely.
"You're right, we can't let the third girl affect our entire family." Chang Gui rarely agreed with the eldest wife's words.
When the eldest wife saw her hypocritical appearance, she couldn't help but smile sarcastically. Look, what a mercenary man. He is obviously cold and unfeeling, but he wants to blame others. He is really hypocritical and shameless...
But now that his decision is in the interests of himself and his daughter, she won't say much. As for the poor third girl? The blame is on her own bad luck. Her mother died young and her father was a beast. It has nothing to do with her, the aunt's mother, the eldest lady thought indifferently.
"Wouldn't this be good?" Chang Shuzhen said with a worried look, like a good sister who cares and loves her sister very much.
"What's wrong? This is the best way to deal with it!" Chang Gui said with finality and ruthlessly, "Just say that when she fled to Shanghai with us, she accidentally fell ill and died on the road."
In this way, he can cover up the fact that he left a daughter behind when he escaped, killing two birds with one stone.
"You are not allowed to mention the third girl in the future. Even if you mention it, the truth of the matter is what I just said. Do you understand?" Chang Gui said while looking at everyone in the room closely. This is what he planned to do. Everyone shut up. "Don't say anything you shouldn't say in the future. Be careful with your words and actions. Do you understand?" he warned again.
The others nodded quickly: "I understand."
Chang Shuzhen hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything and only let out a long sigh.
Seeing her like this, the second young lady on the side rolled her eyes and sneered in a low voice: "Pretentious, hypocritical!"
So after that, the Chang family justifiably forgot about Chang Shichu. Even if an uninformed outsider asked, everyone would just assume that she did not exist, and even the fourth lady was ranked one step ahead. bit, to completely erase her existence.
Chang Shichu didn't know that the Chang family was so ruthless, but even if she knew, she would still like them to draw a clear line with her.
She has already hired people to plant many ownerless fields in the suburbs, and even a lot of wasteland has been opened up on the mountains. Nowadays, many people from Qing'an City are waiting at the door of Chang's house, waiting for her to hire them.
Of course, there are also many people here who want to fish in troubled waters, or are lazy and take advantage. Of course, Chang Shichu will fire these people unceremoniously and will never hire them again.
Some people saw that she was young and a girl, and thought she was easy to bully, so they wanted to sideline her and take the cultivated fields as their own; They both do the same, take away all her money and sell her...
For people with such ill intentions, Chang Shichu naturally didn't mind giving them a leaf from the golden bark tree, so that they could enjoy the same treatment as the Li brothers.
After several unceremonious punishments, everyone finally knew that she was not easy to bully. Not only was she not easy to bully, but she was also very cruel - because they had seen the fate of those who had offended her, and they were all wailing and screaming in pain. , begging her to let go.
So just like that, her prestige was quickly established through daunting means. When people mentioned Miss Chang, they would no longer call her stupid, courageous, and naive, but would instead call her powerful and ruthless...
This was an unexpected surprise. Chang Shichu didn't care at all that others thought she was powerful and cruel. On the contrary, she was very satisfied, because this reputation reduced her a lot of troubles. After all, there are always some men who have no self-awareness and want to have sex with her. After getting married, it was natural for him to occupy all her family property.
Not to mention whether Chang Shichu is worried about his family property being occupied by others, but how can these men be so sure that Chang Shichu will happily marry them as long as they are willing? Where do they get their confidence from? This is really a question that puzzles Chang Shichu.
Fortunately, after she gained a ruthless reputation, the men who often intercepted her in the middle of the road and volunteered to marry her, "protect her" and "become her reliance" disappeared, which made Chang Shichu feel that the air was refreshing. few.
After the nearby fields were fully planted, Chang Shichu was not idle. She went to other places to sell grain. Next door was a major grain-growing province. She planned to go there to buy a batch of grain and bring it back to Qing'an City for sale.
Although Qing'an City gradually regained its popularity and there were more and more people, food was still scarce.
Chang Shichu also grows a lot of rice and wheat in her companion space. She can afford to feed all the people in Qing'an City for a year, but she can't produce food out of nothing, so she can only go to the next province to buy food. A cover.
Fortunately, there are no monitors these days, so she can put all the grain she purchased into the space, which makes transportation much more convenient and faster. Of course, she also has to hire someone to escort a batch of grain back to Qing'an City in an honest way, so that it can be concealed from others.
Chang Shichu went to Shangzhao City next door and rode alone on the road, so she became a big fat sheep. Along the way, she encountered several waves of robbers and two groups of human traffickers who wanted to abduct her. She was not polite. These people were bad guys who committed all kinds of evil, and their crimes were unpardonable. Chang Shichu simply destroyed them physically to prevent other victims from being harmed by them - after all, not everyone has her skills. .
She rode for more than two days before arriving at Shangzhao City. As soon as we entered the bustling city at the city gate, we were greeted by the loud noise of people. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, roadside vendors were shouting, and there were naughty children running and jumping...
This is a bustle that Qing'an City has never seen. Every time I see this scene for the first time, I feel like I'm from another world. Sure enough, human beings' sorrows and joys are not the same. Qing'an City was massacred, and it was devastated and corpses were everywhere; and thousands of miles away The Shangzhao City outside was a peaceful and lively scene. Although there were many beggars and emaciated people on the streets, they had not experienced war yet, so there was no fear or caution on everyone's faces.
Chang Shichu sighed and began to lead the horse to walk around the street. She paid attention to the merchants selling grain.
After all, Shangzhao City is a big grain-producing city, so there are many merchants selling grain in the city. Chang often saw two rice and grain shops after walking only two hundred meters away.
She went in and asked about the price. The price of food was quite reasonable, probably because there was no shortage of rice here. In fact, if it was in the countryside, the price of food would be lower, and it would be more cost-effective to buy in large quantities. However, it was already past the time of harvest. During the season, most of the farmers in the village had sold their excess grain to merchants, and it was impossible for her to buy much at this time.
