i read this novel few months ago, so i forgot about name, but basically:
She barely mention later. If i'm not wrong, later (like, in few hundreds chapters later, around the time MC already married but still not yet go to capital with A Qian), mrs zhao's husband got a job from MC to oversee a soybean press oil factory (another industry MC created). And a random woman who's recently widowed eyeing him. This woman almost success in making Mrs. Zhao's marriage wreck. But later MC know and help her point out this woman's scheme. This widow was mrs zhao's husband's sweetheart before marriage, but both family was not agree to the marriage. And the widow marry to another that richer than mrs zhao's husband (by her own choice, yes she is another greedy woman, this novel fulls of them). But now her husband dead, while mrs zhao's husband has a good lucrative job, she regret it, so she want to seduce him back. She 'accidentally' sprain her leg near mrs. zhao's husband house (the factory is rather far from the village, so the husband live there by himself), and pretend to be 'surprise' to meet the man. she try to get herself stay overnight and ruin herself so the husband has to accept her. And calculate it at the time mrs zhao weekly visit so mrs. zhao 'see' her. Ofc, mrs zhao is stupid enough to not even asking to her husband and directly when back home to her inlaws asking to divorce (LOL). MC and the mother in law is clear about what happen and directly punish the woman by throw her back to her maiden home and tell her maiden's family to keep their daughter to not wander around shaming herself. The husband barely know if he is being calculated by this widow (LOL). and this is the last thing they are mention in the novel.

The ex fiance whose engagement she breaks off in the first few chapters was the one I'm talking about. MC clearly rejects him but his family can't stand that this woman whom they didn't want turns out to be rich and successful. So they keep trying to make problems for her. Also, on the day of his marriage, somehow the ex came to see MC which his wife finds out and she makes a huge fuss along with her relatives calling the MC a family breaker, fox demon, whore etc.

Later, the ex saves MC's life and in the process breaks his leg. His family doesn't take care of him well and call him a cripple. He's not even given enough food let alone medicine. MC then tries to help him with a job to get him into a better financial state. Later, the ex's family gets into financial difficulty and they use the excuse that the ex became crippled because of MC and she should take responsibility. Basically using the ex to get money out of MC. The ex refuses and they throw him out of the family (I think. Read this a while ago and don't remember the order in which things happened.)

Ex is a decent guy who is just weak and caught up in the Confucian notions of filial behaviour meaning he tries to respect his elders and parents even if they abuse and use him. After he leaves the family, MC helps him get a decent job where he will make enough money to support himself and be prosperous.

It's nice to gain more information about this story from you! Thank you... I'm really anticipated to know more about this novel but it's kind of hard to find any spoiler due to the story might be too long and not as exciting as other time-travel story I guess. But I kinda like this slow pace and in detailed kind of novel

Did ml's family ever try to do anything after the ml separated their homes?

Wow, someone just doesn't take no for an answer. Was it just the ML's rejection to work for her family her reason? Did LFZ offend her in some way? I mean, they were from another town so, they would have much interaction.

Oh yes, she was the first person to create cotton clothing/bedding etc. although, even from the start, she had already decided to leave all those businesses to her family, specifically her younger brother. Well, she is still rich after she came to the capital after the general recovers his memories. But simply said, she really became so rich, she even started the trend of real estate selling. But due to royal interest, she has to let the idea be used by the palace, or else it may bring undue disaster to her.
