nMu Jingzhe had a headache. “No, Mu Xue, you’ve really misunderstood!”

n

n

nShe explained as quickly as she could. “I’m really not interested in Tang Moling and have never wanted to snatch him away from you. I really don’t have any feelings for him.”

n

n

nHad she eaten too much, or was she so tired of living that she wanted to snatch away the male lead?

n

n

nShe didn’t have a death wish.

n

n

nMu Xue still didn’t believe her, so she gritted her teeth.

n

n

n“I can swear that even if Tang Moling was the only man left in this world, I wouldn’t take another look at him!”

n

n

nMu Jingzhe was forced to swear.

n

n

nTang Moling stood aside, feeling completely ignored.

n

n

nHe felt tired.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe was also exhausted. “It’s really true. Mu Xue, I hope you believe me.”

n

n

nAt the moment, the scene was very similar to a scene of the female supporting character fighting with the female lead over the male lead. However, only God knew that Mu Jingzhe vehemently refused to have anything to do with the male and female lead. If one looked at the whole novel, one would notice that those related to them didn’t meet a good end.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe adopted her most sincere attitude and finally explained herself. She then left.

n

n

nMu Xue and Tang Moling were left alone.

n

n

nThough Mu Xue had said that she had gotten the wrong idea about them before, she avoided Tang Moling’s gaze.

n

n

nIt was because she felt a subtle discomfort in her heart. Previously, Tang Moling had been so powerful and different from the people she had met. She had felt his charm completely then.

n

n

nHowever, Tang Moling, who was high and mighty in her heart, had been pinned down by Mu Jingzhe just like that.

n

n

nThis made her feel a little awkward, as if something had collapsed in her.

n

n

nTang Moling was also a little distracted. He couldn’t help but think about Mu Jingzhe’s words. She had said that she would not take another look at him even if all the men in the world died.

n

n

nHe ought to be happy that she was helping him clear up this misunderstanding, yet he felt very awkward.

n

n

nDid she despise him?

n

n

nIt had been like this before, and now it was like this again?

n

n

nBoth of them were distracted and unhappy.

n

n

n******

n

n

nAfter Tang Moling was subdued, the children were all eager to learn martial arts. They even fantasized about going to the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts and become experts.

n

n

nWho had never dreamed of going to Shaolin and Wudang? Mu Jingzhe didn’t say anything and even encouraged them to go when they had the chance.

n

n

nGoing to different places would allow them to gain more knowledge. When the time came, they could regard it as traveling.

n

n

nTwo days later, before dawn, Mu Jingzhe took a big bag full of goods and went out with Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng, who went to the market to sell buns.

n

n

nWhen they arrived in town, it was dawn.

n

n

nWhile Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng set up the stall, Mu Jingzhe went to the county and then the city.

n

n

nThe trip to the city went quite smoothly. She handed over the goods and even received a new order. A foreign boss was even introduced to Mu Jingzhe.

n

n

nAfter negotiating, she went to get more supplies. This was a fruitful trip.

n

n

nBy the time she reached the town, it was already dark. She then rushed home with Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng, who had been waiting for her.

n

n

nThe next day, Mu Jingzhe took a look at the materials she had bought and took Shao Zhong with her to hire some workers.

n

n

nNow that life was slowly getting better, people had spare money to buy accessories and hair ornaments. The more well-developed the place, the more obvious this was. Thanks to her rebirth and existing foundation, her hair ornaments sold well, so the number of orders would probably only increase in the future.

n

n

nUnder the circumstances, she couldn’t do this alone. She had to find some people to do it with her.

n

n

nThis wasn’t a problem. There were quite a few young ladies in the village who were skilled in needlework and threading. She could ask them to work for her and pay them a wage; it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe had already made up her mind. She would ask three people to help her first and see how things went.

n

n

nThis time, not only did she buy fabric for the head flower, but she also bought beads and other materials, as she wanted to develop an accessory line.

n

n

nShe wanted to try making necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe’s search went very smoothly. The people she found were all good people with a reputation for being hardworking in the village. When they heard that they would be paid according to the number of pieces they made and would be given the money at the end of each day, they came over in spite of their doubts.

n

n

nThe simple production process began.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe was mainly responsible for matching the colors and coming up with the design and cutting, while her three workers would follow suit.

n

n

nThe rest of the time, Mu Jingzhe continued to teach Shao Dong and Shao Xi at home. She was kept rather busy.

n

n

nHowever, it was good that the house was lively. It felt like Shao Zhong had become more daring now.

n

n

nFor the first two days, the villagers didn’t know what Mu Jingzhe and the others were doing. They only saw the three of them going to Mu Jingzhe’s house. Later on, they found out that they were going to Mu Jingzhe’s house to help her make accessories and hair ornaments.

n

n

nEveryone was skeptical. However, the money that the three of them received at the end of each day was real.

n

n

nIn a short time, Mu Jingzhe became the hottest topic of discussion in the village. Everyone was talking about the hair ornaments she made, and many people came up to ask if they could work for her as well.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe calmed them down, saying she wasn’t certain.

n

n

nAfter a few days, Mu Jingzhe left for the city before dawn. This time, she didn’t return.

n

n

nFortunately, Mu Jingzhe had said that this might happen. Shao Qiyang was also at home.

n

n

nThe next day, Shao Qiyang couldn’t help but come out when he saw that she hadn’t returned even though it was almost afternoon.

n

n

nIn the end, he saw Mu Jingzhe, who was covered in bags, in town.

n

n

n“Thank goodness you came to pick me up. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I would’ve gotten back.”

n

n

nShe was strong, but there were too many things. She couldn’t carry all of them with her two hands.

n

n

n“What is this?”

n

n

n“Materials.” Mu Jingzhe’s face was covered in sweat, but her eyes were sparkling. “There’s another big order.”

n

n

nThis time, it wasn’t just hair ornaments. The necklaces she’d brought along were also sold out. She had received another order and had even been given a deposit.

n

n

nMu Jingzhe felt that she could make a small fortune.

n

n

nShao Qiyang borrowed a bicycle and, in combination with Mu Jingzhe’s tremendous strength, they transported the items home.

n

n

n“If everything goes well, we’ll be able to buy a bicycle after this delivery. Life will be more convenient then. You can also ride it to deliver letters.”

n

n

nShao Qiyang was stunned. “You mean you’ll be buying it?”

n

n

n“No, I mean, are you interested in buying a bicycle together? It’s a little difficult for me to buy a bicycle directly now, and it’s difficult for you too. Why don’t we buy a bicycle together first and then buy another one later?”

n

n

nMu Jingzhe’s little plan had been implemented without a hitch.

n

n

nShao Qiyang had a different feeling when he heard this, though. To him, it felt like the two of them were working hard for this small family and would be buying a bicycle together.

n

n

nThis was the day he’d dreamed of. A couple supporting each other after marriage…

n

n

nHis dream had been realized by Mu Jingzhe.

n

n

n“Sure.” He agreed and sped up, wanting the wind to cool him down.

n

n

nThis time, Mu Jingzhe found another young lady to work for her.

n

n

nNow that she had four workers, other than designing and teaching them at the start, she no longer had to make the accessories herself.

n

n

nEven so, she was still very busy. It was only occasionally that she was able to focus on designing at night.

n

n

nThe four young ladies, who came to her house to work, were completely relieved from doing housework. These days, their families would help them wash their clothes and call them when their meals were ready. They would come to work every morning and get off at night.

n

n

nThis business wasn’t a factory, but it resembled one. Because too many people came to ask if she was hiring, Mu Jingzhe had no choice but to temporarily close the door.

n

n

nBecause of Mu Jingzhe and the four women who earned money every day, the atmosphere in the village had changed.

n

n

nEveryone wanted to earn money and eagerly waited for Mu Jingzhe to hire more people.

n

n

nIn the blink of an eye, Mu Jingzhe, who’d originally had a bad reputation in the village, had become a popular figure.

n

n

nWhen Mu Jingzhe and Shao Qiyang really bought the bicycle, the atmosphere reached its climax.

n

n

nTheir home was bustling with life these days. It was completely different from the miserable state everyone had imagined they would be in after they’d split up the family assets.

n

n

nEveryone was laughing at Zhao Lan and the eldest branch of the Shao Family. They had only split up the family assets shortly before this. If they hadn’t done so, they would have been able to benefit from this business.
