After Being Thrown Into a Pond, the Capital's Richest Woman Fights Her Way Back

Chen Jiaojiao flung a severance agreement at her. “These nine mu of land will buy your silence for the rest of your life!” The whole village laughed and said she deserved to starve? Her fermented tofu and braised pork recipes sold like crazy across the town, her granary filled to the rafters, and a blue-brick courtyard sprang up from the ground. Jealous villagers blockaded her mill? Jiaojiao sneered. “The purchase limit is in effect. Prices go up 30 percent tomorrow!” Then the cold-faced hunter Ye Xuan kicked open her courtyard gate with a wild boar on his shoulder. “Shouldn’t you repay your life debt with your body?” She clutched her sore waist, utterly distraught.
