After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

Lin Xiaohu whispered what happened before, "I saw they were all out, so I crawled into their house and killed their chickens. I also threw their clothes on the ground and stepped on them."

When Ma heard about killing chickens and stepping on clothes, and thought about her own situation, she immediately screamed, "I knew it! It must be them! It must be them! They must be taking revenge on us! I'm going to find Zhen and the others!"

Ma was about to go out, but was stopped by Lin Shi. "How do you know it was them? Who in the Qiao family do you think could do this?"

Ma was stunned. Among the Qiao family, only Zhen was powerful, but she was pregnant. The others were all weaklings. The only one who was not so weak was Qian. But it was impossible for Qian to do that because the wall of their house was much higher than that of the Qiao family.

"Could it be... Qiao Da?"

Lin Shi thought that Qiao Da was indeed a little different recently, but...

"Can Qiao Da really enter our yard in the middle of the night without making any noise? Do you think he is that powerful?"

Ma thought it was impossible. A trace of fear suddenly flashed in her eyes. "Could it be that Xiaohu really killed their chickens and this is retribution?"

Lin Shi: "Forget it, I'll keep watch these few nights to see who it is, and you can also observe the Qiao family occasionally."

Ma nodded, "Okay, okay."

Lin Shi: "Let's clean up the chicken and eat it first."

Ma looked at the dead chicken, covered her chest and felt heartbroken again, but when she thought about the same thing happening to the Qiao family, she suddenly felt much better.

"By the way, you weren't discovered by them, were you?" Ma asked her son quickly.

Lin Xiaohu: "No...no, I'm back and they haven't come back yet."

Lin Shi: "Maybe they don't even know that Xiaohu did it, otherwise why didn't Zhen come running over and yell?"

Ma immediately agreed, "That's right, but Zhen didn't yell? That's strange. Did she change because she's pregnant? But she was still so aggressive when she was pregnant before."

Lin Shi: "Who knows about you pregnant women? Maybe it's a stage change?"

"Too."

At the Qiao family's side, everyone went to work in the fields after breakfast, but Qiao Chao stayed at home. Zhen Yue asked him and the three children to wash the clothes, and then asked Qiao Chao to take care of the vegetable garden behind the house.

Some land was left empty by the destruction of Lin Xiaohu before, so Zhen Yue asked Qiao Chao to turn the land over first, as she wanted to plant something.

But she didn't know what happened to her wood-related ability. She tried it when she first came here, and although she found that her ability was still there, she couldn't use it at all. She thought it was because she didn't have enough energy in her body.

After resting for a few days, she walked over and put her hand on a plant to do something. Just as she released a little bit of her supernatural power, the baby in her belly began to move desperately.

"Hmm..." Zhen Yue covered her stomach and groaned, not daring to move. This damn child! It was such a delay!

Qiao Chao, who was standing at the side, sensed the movement from her side and immediately put down the hoe in his hand and walked over. "What's wrong?"

Zhen Yue paused and waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll go take a rest."

Qiao Chao hurried over to support her, and after he had placed her down on the bed and made sure she was okay, he went to the back of the house.

Zhen Yue was resting in the room. She touched her belly and thought about how she would show her skills after the baby was born!

It will be time to prepare lunch soon, but Zhen Yue can't do it by herself as there is another adult at home.

The chicken and rabbit pickled yesterday have been put aside, and they are almost done with a green vegetable and a pickled vegetable.

Xiaohua lit the fire, Zhen Yue sat aside and instructed Qiao Chao, "Put some oil, and then put the chicken in."

Qiao Chao: "Oil?"

Xiaohua quickly pointed to the oil can on the side and said, "Uncle, it's inside."

Qiao Chao quickly opened it and took a look. There was only a thin layer of lard inside. Qiao Chao took half of it and asked, "Is this enough?"

Xiaohua whispered, "Uncle, it's too much. A little bit will be enough." As she spoke, she looked at Zhen Yue, afraid that her aunt would scold her uncle again.

Zhen Yue also wanted to eat oily dishes, but this family really couldn't be so pretentious right now, "Half is enough."

Xiaohua wanted to say more, but her aunt had spoken, so Xiaohua didn't dare to say anything else.

Qiao Chao put oil into the pot. The pot was already hot. Then he heard a "swish" sound and some oil splashed up. Qiao Chao felt a pain on the back of his hand and quickly stepped back a few meters.

Zhen Yue: "Why are you retreating? Put the chicken in quickly."

Qiao Chao swallowed, quickly picked up a piece of meat on one side and threw it in... yes, threw it in... Fortunately, the meat really went into the pot.

Zhen Yue was afraid that the chicken would fall to the ground, "... start frying it quickly!"

Qiao Chao was stir-frying in a hurry again, "Just keep flipping it like this?" He turned his head to look at Zhen Yue, and his hands suddenly became a little strong, but Qiao Chao exerted so much force that a piece of chicken flew out of the pot.

Zhen Yue held her forehead with her hand, "Turn it over for a while, then wait a moment before turning it over again. Wash the meat and put it in quickly."

"Oh oh oh." Qiao Chao was completely flustered and sweating all over.

"Cut some ginger and put it in." Zhen Yue added. She had originally thought of putting wine in it, but there was no wine in this house, and wine was still a bit expensive.

Qiao Chao: "Where's Jiang?"

Xiaohua immediately went to get the ginger. Qiao Chao took the knife and prepared to cut it. Zhen Yue said, "Wait a minute, isn't the ginger dirty? Don't you know how to wash it?"

Qiao Chao: ...Hurry up and wash the ginger.

"How to cut it?"

Zhen Yue: "Cut it into slices, two slices will do."

Qiao Chao fiddled with it carefully, "Is this thick enough?"

Zhen Yue: "Okay, cut it! Are you a pig? How come you can't even cut a slice of ginger?" Zhen Yue started to curse again. She was angry anyway.

Qiao Chao: ...He really can't! He can review memorials, but there is nothing else in this house except Qiao San's pen.

In the end, he quickly cut two slices of ginger and stir-fried it for several times. Only after adding a little water and letting it boil did Qiao Chao wipe his sweat.

Cooking is so tiring for him... No, why should he cook? Obviously, the original body didn't have to do the cooking before.

But when I saw Zhen Yue’s belly... forget it, let’s just do it.

The chicken had been marinated before so there was no need to add salt. Zhen Yue asked Qiao Chao to pick up a piece for her to taste, and then said, "It's almost done, let's take it out of the pan." Although it took a long time to stir-fry, it was okay.

After the chicken is ready, it is the turn of the rabbit meat. This time, Qiao Chao is much more skilled than when he fried the chicken, so Zhen Yue can take a break and no longer has to keep an eye on it. She just needs to remind him when it is time to add water.

Green vegetables are much simpler, just add some oil and stir-fry them. The same goes for pickles.

The dish was finally cooked. Qiao Chao picked up the bowl and took a big sip of water. He was so tired that he might as well go to work in the fields or go to the mountains to have a look. He might as well go again in the afternoon.

Xiaohua went to cover the oil can and saw that there was only a little oil left in it. Her uncle put too much oil in it today.

But my aunt didn’t say anything, and Xiaohua couldn’t say anything either.
