Happiness in the Countryside: The Mute Girl Takes Charge

Lin Miao had been mute since childhood, and her grandparents disliked her. After her mother died of illness, her father soon remarried. Her stepmother, Yun, brought a son and a daughter with her, and took an instant dislike to Lin Miao and her siblings, constantly finding new ways to pick on them.

Lin Miao resolved to stand on her own two feet and make a name for herself by entering the world of business, growing her enterprise step by step.
