Herbalist Exiled Wife: From Rags to Vast Farmlands

On the day of the family division, the entire village mocked Shi Lei. In order to sever all ties with his relatives, he chose to walk away with nothing, leaving the entire family estate behind and taking only two frail, sickly dependents with him. His second uncle called him foolish, and his step-grandmother cursed him to starve to death. None of them knew that the disgraced wife forced upon him by his arch-rival possessed extraordinary expertise in identifying all kinds of rare herbs and medicinal plants. A single wild mountain ginseng brought them five hundred taels of silver. Within half a month, a sturdy brick-and-tile house was built, and laborers were hired to cultivate a hundred mu of fertile farmland. Just as Shi Lei was relaxing in his rocking chair, happily watching his wife's growing baby bump, the very relatives who had once driven him out empty-handed showed up at his doorstep, pleading with him to return to the ancestral fold.
