As a result, after Zhang Sanyou and others promoted their work, it didn't take long for everyone to know that they had methods for building new-style houses. After all, the temptation of an ordinary Earthen House lasting ten or even twenty years was too great.
Liu Qingxi was very satisfied with the effects of this promotion; in the future, there would be far fewer difficulties in promoting new-style houses.
Looking at the pile of silver coins and seeing her home transform from a dilapidated state to gradually becoming complete with pots, bowls, plates, tables, and chairs, she felt increasingly vibrant with life.
She was immensely satisfied with her current situation and full of confidence for the future. Just as she rolled up her sleeves to prepare for a big effort, there were already envious individuals secretly plotting against her.
This involved the Liu Family. Ever since Liu Qingzhi married Wandehai, Wang had been walking with an air of superiority. With her already high expectations, she now looked down even more on the daughters of ordinary families.
As a result, her future daughter-in-law's selection had become a challenge for the nearby Matchmaker.
Naturally, Wang couldn't ignore such significant movements concerning Liu Qingxi. Initially indifferent, she remarked, "Just a stinky Girl that I drove out; what ability could she possibly have? I don't believe it!"
Since the cave was outside Ten Li Pu, she learned about the happenings inside from others and naturally did not believe that the girl she had oppressed had any real talent.
"Don't doubt me; this is all true. From autumn until now, your niece has helped countless people build houses. You might not know this, but each house built means real Copper Coins!"
Hearing this, a woman around thirty dressed in red and green felt envy, jealousy, and hatred—all emotions intertwined into an intense loathing for Liu Qingxi.
"Li, is what you say true?" Wang was quite skeptical of the woman before her—not because she doubted women in general but because she was unwilling to believe that someone she despised could have such an outstanding daughter.
"Isn't it true? Can I deceive you? But your niece really should honor you as her elder after making money; how can she not say a word to you?"
Seeing Wang's face gradually turn pale with anger, Li felt a surge of triumph within her.
"Liu Qingxi, just wait! I will make you pay for this! You have brought me to this point; you won't have it easy either!"
This Li is none other than Zhang Gaoliang's daughter-in-law, the woman who tried to frame Liu Qingxi but ended up being humiliated instead.
Regarding the last incident, although Zhang Gaoliang did not punish her as severely as everyone imagined, the prolonged indifference was unbearable for her.
The honest and simple man who used to obey her every word now ignores her completely. How could a woman who was once held in such high regard tolerate this?
And the root of all this trouble is Liu Qingxi!
She deliberately came to speak with Wang, knowing that Wang's relationship with Liu Qingxi is well-known. As long as she can teach that girl, who tarnished her reputation and caused her to be neglected by men, a lesson, she is willing to do anything!
Li does not feel she is in the wrong. Even though this situation arose from her failed schemes, it does not stop her hatred from being directed at Liu Qingxi.
Wang went from disbelief to reluctantly acknowledging the truth due to Li's convincing description: "No way, I can't let that You shameless little wretch get away with this!"
With that, Wang stood up and said, "As for the Sorghum family, I'm done talking to you. I just remembered I have something to take care of at home!"
She hurriedly left for home, completely unaware of the smirk on Li's face behind her.
At the entrance of Liujia Cave, figures were bustling about; indeed, everyone was busy building houses for the Liu Family.
Thanks to Liu Qingzhi's selling herself and the wealth she left behind during her last visit, Wang quickly arranged for men to negotiate with the villagers and secured a piece of land.
In order to vent her frustrations thoroughly, this project was hastily started before deep autumn set in!
When the women returned, the men working laughed loudly and greeted her: "Hey, Eldest Uncle's Wife, you're back!"
"Ah! You all continue with your work!" Wang did not have the mood to chat with these people.
If it were usual, since these people were helping out and only needed food without worrying about wages, she would have given them a good face. However, Liu Qingxi absolutely could not be doing better than her family!
In a hurry, she pulled Liu Eldest to a secluded spot and said mysteriously, "Do you know how popular that little girl is now? Everyone in the village knows about it. Have you heard?"
Liu Eldest replied nonchalantly, "I've heard it once!" But why would this big man care about such matters? Hearing it once was enough to forget!
Unexpectedly, Wang glared at him with her slanted eyes, "Liu Eldest, what are you thinking? Do you know why I’m not with her?"
If he were a man, would she have to hear about this from others?
"I just thought it had nothing to do with us since she's been kicked out of the house!"
Before Liu Eldest could finish his sentence, the soft flesh he wanted to see was twisted painfully, making him grimace in pain. "I didn't do anything wrong! Ouch! That hurts, let go!"
Wang placed her hands on her hips, "So you know pain! So what if she was kicked out? She's still part of the Liu Family; any money she makes should belong to us. Also, if she can give others so much money and teach Zhang Sanyou and the others how to do it, why can't she help us?"
Wang felt a deep sense of imbalance growing within her.
Liu Eldest, who had never been as calculating as Wang, was drawn into her reasoning: "You're right, but what should we do?"
He looked at his wife with hopeful eyes. Over the years, Wang had made all the major decisions in their household; he had long lost his own judgment.
Wang's beady eyes rolled around restlessly. How could she get Liu Qingxi's method?
Just now, Li mentioned that the income from building a house was two hundred coins, which was an irresistible temptation for her. How could she remain calm?
"Dear wife, should we discuss this with our parents?" Liu Eldest felt that they should inform everyone. After all, while it was about making money, he didn't want to do it alone.
If only Fourth Brother and Fifth Son could do all the work, he would just wait to collect the money!
"What do we need to tell our parents for? Don't you know they are biased? Their hearts are with Third Son, and who knows what they might think about helping those two deadweights, taking from our parents' resources!"
Wang cursed loudly, remembering how Yan and the Qin Family had obstructed her in the past.
"Then are you saying I have to do all this work myself?" Liu Eldest was extremely unwilling.
"Think about it some more!" Wang waved her hand irritably, feeling angry at this man who only knew how to grin foolishly.
Honestly, what could he do? He was an unreliable man. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and all that anger was directed at Liu Qingxi and her brother.
"Hmph! I am your elder; I am Aunt. I don't believe you won't give me this method!" With that thought in mind, Wang strode towards Liu Qingxi's home!
