Although she wasn't lacking money, having nothing to do felt like wasting time.

Pastries are something rich people enjoy and kids love, but most villagers hesitate to spend money on them.

But as long as they're affordable, making some pocket money is easy.

She can make a variety of pastries, like osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, rice cake, etc.

They're all relatively simple and easy to make a profit from.

Actually, Sinian also noticed that the village is still quite poor, with only Zhou Yueshen's family having relatively good conditions.

The economic boost is mainly due to many people getting jobs at his pig farm, improving their family's conditions.

Most people still rely on farming for a living.

Although there are more self-employed individuals now, many rural folks are used to being honest and modest, and few have the means to start a business.

Sinian feels that, aside from a few bad apples, most people in the village are good.

But life is tough for them.

The sisters-in-law who came to help yesterday were mostly working hard from dawn till dusk at home, like tirelessly plowing oxen.

The backward rural mentality of favoring sons over daughters means that most women her age in the village are illiterate.

They worked at home when they were young, served their in-laws when they grew up, and still have to serve their children in old age.

It's as if they were born to do so.

Sinian sees this and, although she can't change it, genuinely hopes these women don't have to suffer like this.

She wants to go to school and has other paths to take in the future.

So Sinian thinks that for those she has a good relationship with, she might be able to teach them her pastry skills. While she can't do big business, she can try small ones.

For example, at Lin's house, her sister-in-law is very skillful and good at cooking.

Sinian plans to teach her pastry skills. Zhou Suixui is honest, down-to-earth, has good character, and is young.

Now that her older brother can help Zhou Yueshen with freight at the pig farm, she and her mother can set up a small stall at the market and definitely earn more than farming.

The last time she went to Lin's house, she saw that their land wasn't very good; it was sandy.

Big brother is busy, and father has trouble with his legs.

Depend on two women, how much can they plant? It's more practical to do some small business.

With this in mind, Sinian also had an idea.

But this matter can't be rushed. Seeing that it's getting late, she went into the kitchen. There were too many guests for the banquet, almost exceeding the expected range. So there weren't many leftovers, just some pork trotters and ribs.

Sinian planned to stew some soup tonight to nourish her body.

Of course, this time, she's nourishing herself.

On the other side, just as Sister Zhu returned home with the green bean cake, she ran into her sister-in-law, Xiaozhang Qian.

She instinctively hid the green bean cake behind her back.

"Sister-in-law, what goodies do you have?" Xiaozhang Qian is her husband's sister, she's had a few years of education and considers herself an intellectual. She's pampered at home but lazy.

She always hides any good stuff.

Yesterday, the green bean cake brought back for her younger siblings was also snatched by her. She was upset because her mother-in-law favored them, so she thought of buying some for Sinian today.

Unexpectedly, she ran into this situation again.

"Nothing much." Sister Zhu smiled awkwardly.

Xiaozhang Qian sharp-tonguedly remarked, "Oh, I just came back and saw that the woman from the Si family gave you a big bag of green bean cakes. You're pretending. Do you want to eat them alone? We haven't divided the family yet, sister-in-law, why are you so selfish?"

"I don't want much, just give me half."

Sister Zhu's face turned ugly. "Little sister, I'll give you a few pieces to taste. There are many kids at home, giving you half won't be enough."

"Kids can't eat that much. Your relationship with that Sinian isn't very good, right? If you run out, just ask her again."

"Alright, alright, give it to me quickly. I'm starving." Xiaozhang Qian snatched the green bean cake from her hand and walked into the house while eating.

Her eyes rolled around. Yesterday, Brother Zhou got married, and Zou Tingting hasn't returned yet, but Sinian is so generous, giving away such good stuff to so many people!

She heard it just now!

In the city,

Fu Yang returned to the Fu family, exuding a cold aura.

Fu Qianqian was in the middle of complaining about the fact that the Si family didn't bring any gifts to the wedding. When she saw Fu Yang coming back, she was surprised, "Brother, where did you go? Let me tell you, I attended Sinian's wedding yesterday, it was so grand!"

The Fu couple also looked at their son with confusion. He had taken a day off yesterday, and even when he was on vacation, he usually stayed at home in his study without going out. But yesterday, he disappeared for the whole night.

Now he returned, dusty and smelling of alcohol.

Fu Qianqian walked up and sniffed, wrinkling her nose in disgust, then exclaimed dramatically, "Wow, brother, how much did you drink? You smell so bad!"

The Fu couple frowned at their son.

Clearly, they had no idea what had happened to him.

Fu Yang had always been reserved since childhood, keeping everything to himself and never telling others what was going on.

And that personality hadn't changed as he grew up.

"Could it be that you're so happy because Sinian got married and won't bother you anymore, so you went to celebrate with someone last night?" Fu Qianqian guessed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yang's expression turned even uglier. He didn't say a word, just went upstairs without looking back.

Fu Qianqian looked at him, puzzled.

Soon, Lin Sisi, who heard that Fu Yang came home drunk, arrived with sobering soup.

Hearing that Sinian got married, the Fu couple also felt a little anxious.

Now, they were trying to reconcile their relationship with their two children, so they asked Lin Sisi to go upstairs and take care of him.

This was Lin Sisi's first time entering Fu Yang's room, and her heart was pounding.

The man lying on the bed was the one she had fallen in love with at first sight and had been obsessed with for the rest of her life. She had even divorced Zhou Yueming and plotted against Sinian to get him.

He is handsome and noble, with a cold, proud countenance and starry eyes that exude an aura unique to the privileged class. Though he may lack the maturity and steadiness of Zhou Yueshen, his aristocratic background and strong capabilities, coupled with his promotion to the rank of lieutenant at a young age, set him apart, making his future incomparable to that of Zhou Yueshen.

Lin Sisi had experienced wealthy days before. After all, Zhou Yueshen had never been harsh on her. But material satisfaction could never compare to spiritual fulfillment. No matter how much money she had, she would always be seen as a country bumpkin, someone whose family raised pigs.

However, with Fu Yang, everything would be different. She desired both power and money. Encouraged by courage, Lin Sisi entered the man's room. The room was dark, with a tall figure lying on the bed and the strong smell of alcohol permeating the air. In that moment, a bold idea sprouted in Lin Sisi's heart!

Meanwhile, Sinian rode her bike with Yaoyao to the market to buy groceries. There weren't many vegetables left at home, so she decided to take advantage of the market day, even though she was a bit late. Riding a bike made it much more convenient than others, and she could get there and back quickly.

They had enough meat at home, but vegetables were scarce. Sinian couldn't keep relying on other people's fields to pick vegetables, so she decided to cultivate a portion of their yard to grow some small cabbages. Therefore, she also bought some vegetable seeds.

By the time she got home, it was already late. Sinian assumed that her two younger brothers should have returned by now, so she planned to dig up the land with them today.

But as she approached the house, she heard crying from inside, particularly the cries of her younger brother, mixed with some commotion.
