When the two sisters approached, Liu Qingxi was stunned. Liu Qingzhi, dressed in thin clothes and carrying a basket, was coming down from the mountain.
Compared to her previous lofty demeanor, even during the toughest times for the Liu family, she had never seen her sister dressed so roughly. Perhaps this calmness came from a profound realization.
She had never imagined that there would come a time when she could have a quiet conversation with Liu Qingzhi. Two years ago, they looked at each other as if they were enemies, but what about now?
Liu Qingxi truly didn't know what to say. She couldn't help Liu Qingzhi without any reservations; yet, seeing her living alone in a dark, damp place that was half-collapsed and blocked by rubble evoked an indescribable feeling.
“Qingxi, you should go on with your business,” Liu Qingzhi said, not wanting her sister to see her in such a disheveled state.
The two sisters, bound by blood, exchanged silent glances.
As Liu Qingzhi turned to leave, Liu Qingxi suddenly spoke up: “If you really have difficulties, you can come to me.”
Liu Qingzhi's emaciated body paused for a moment before she continued walking away. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably; it had been so long since she had received such concern.
Time flowed quietly as everyone gradually moved along their own life paths. Time brought both joy and sorrow; regardless of which, it was all part of life's experience.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
In Ten Li Pu, after two years, it underwent a dramatic transformation. Looking around the streets of Ten Li Pu, every household had Azure Brick Houses. The neat layout was pleasing to the eye, and the houses hidden at the foot of the mountains became ideal places to live.
Thanks to Liu Qingxi's talent in architecture and Yang Yichen's status as a young talent, Ten Li Pu gradually gained recognition and became regarded as a treasure land by the surrounding villages.
Some prominent individuals began considering buying property in Ten Li Pu to build residences where they could escape for leisure during the summer. Consequently, areas centered around Ten Li Pu became highly sought-after locations.
Many people, upon seeing their land becoming valuable and others willing to pay high prices for it, began to stir with excitement. At that moment, Liu Qingxi stepped forward decisively to stop Ten Li Pu's people from making this wrong choice.
"We cannot only focus on immediate profits. These lands provide us with endless long-term income. Once sold, what will happen to our descendants? Do you think that little bit of silver is enough to support your family for generations?"
People felt a jolt in their hearts, relieved they hadn't acted impulsively to sell. Liu Qingxi made a lot of sense.
To prevent some from succumbing to temptation, the village chief, Zhang Wuliang, took a firm stance, keeping Ten Li Pu's fields tightly controlled, ensuring that villagers had no rights to buy or sell, which would facilitate unified management in the future.
In the past two years, many events occurred, with the most significant change being the rows of houses that had been developed in Ten Li Pu.
On the long street of Ten Li Pu, a slender figure dressed in a blue long skirt spoke with a clear voice: "Hey Kid, let's hold off on taking any new business for now and just focus on our own houses."
"Got it, Miss Liu! Don't worry!"
The girl was none other than Liu Qingxi. At seventeen years old, she stood about 1.72 meters tall, with charmingly curved eyebrows and eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy cherry lips. When she smiled, her dimples added a cute playfulness that blended seamlessly with her competence.
These two feelings were not contradictory but rather harmoniously intertwined.
Over the course of two years, she was no longer the inexperienced girl from two years ago. Now, Liu Qingxi managed more workers and had businesses spread throughout Linyi County. Who didn't know the name of Miss Liu?
While many believed that a woman should stay home to support her husband and raise children, Liu Qingxi proved through her actions that women are just as capable as men.
Sometimes women can do even better.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
"It's not hard; just think about the days to come, and it gives us energy." Two years ago, Liu Qingxi gained fame by financing Boss to build the Flowing Villa, and since then, business has been booming.
Someone was interested in purchasing the land at Ten Li Pu and reminded Liu Qingxi of this opportunity.
Right, why hadn't she thought of it before? Building houses for others could be troublesome, especially when dealing with difficult clients. So why couldn't she follow her own desires?
Why couldn't she realize her ideas one by one?
Having worked in real estate for a long time in her past life, she was well aware of its profitability. It was one of the most lucrative industries; the more expensive the houses, the more people rushed to buy them, fearing prices would continue to rise.
Why couldn't she do this in ancient times?
She could easily become an ancient real estate developer, attracting wave after wave of buyers. Wouldn't that be better?
Thus, with this idea in mind, Liu Qingxi began planning her next big project. This was not just about building houses for others.
To construct buildings like modern developments would take an unknown amount of time, but that didn't matter; what mattered was that she dared to try.
As things progressed, several rows of completed courtyards appeared around Ten Li Pu. In addition, the original Earthen Houses were all replaced with neat Azure Brick Houses.
However, compared to the expanded area outside the village, it could only be considered an ordinary house.
For a project as significant as Liu Qingxi's, which could consume all of one's savings for an attempt, every Kid was working hard and giving their all.
Liu Qingxi was very satisfied with the results of the first few constructions, but they had not yet started selling.
Even so, there were quite a few inquiries because Liu Qingxi's reputation was simply too great; the happenings in Ten Li Pu could not be hidden from those in neighboring villages who were paying attention.
Indeed, the news had already spread.
After arranging the next steps, Liu Qingxi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and returned home. At that moment, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the door. "Is this Miss Liu's house?" asked a coachman in his forties.
"Yes, who are you?"
"Oh, our master has come to visit Miss Liu." Following him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, slightly plump, with squinty eyes; only the gleam in his eyes revealed that he was not as he appeared on the surface.
"This way, sir. My young lady has just returned and is changing clothes; please wait a moment." The maid Chunyu had also grown into a young woman.
Liu Qingxi's household was no longer like it was two years ago, with just two cooks and a few guards. The population had increased significantly, and there were even several long-term hired workers.
In the reception room, Liu Qingxi came out from behind: "What brings you here, Boss?"
