Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

For the next period of time, Xiao Wan spent all her time in the workshop and planting vegetables and fruit trees in the space. She studied with her brother at night to hide the fact that she could read and write.

Otherwise, the Zhao family would send wild animals and Xiao Wan would send food back. As the two of them interacted with each other, their feelings gradually warmed up.

Xiao Wan also met Zhao Mingyuan's cousin Fu Mingxuan, who looked cold and defensive towards her, but Xiao Wan didn't care. Her original intention of saving him was just for Zhao Mingyuan.

That day, Xiao Wan was teaching the women in the workshop how to make vermicelli noodles. Four women kneaded potato starch into dough, and they worked hard in a large vat to mix the dough evenly.

At the same time, one person boiled water in a large pot, one person continued to knead the dough, and one person poured the vermicelli into the pot with a colander. The female worker knocked on the edge of the colander with her hand, and the vermicelli fell out. Another female worker scooped the vermicelli out of the pot.

The last person will spread the vermicelli out, cut it evenly, and put it outside to dry and shape it. It becomes vermicelli. Finally, you just need to tie it up.

Xiao Wan took some of the dried vermicelli home and planned to try how it tasted in the evening.

As soon as I got home, I found that there were visitors. It was my aunt Shen and Liu Jingui, as well as my cousin Liu Jinyu. Liu was sitting in the main room looking at the three of them helplessly. I can't chase my sister-in-law away for no reason even if she comes to visit.

Seeing Xiao Wan come in, Liu Jingui came over to greet Xiao Wan and wanted to touch Xiao Wan's hand. Xiao Wan grabbed his arm and threw him away.

Liu Jingui didn't expect that his cousin was so strong. He was not angry at all. Instead, he felt even more itchy when he saw Xiao Wan's excitement.

Liu Jinyu watched her brother being thrown out. Not only did she not help, she also kept staring at Xiao Wan's clothes and the lilac earrings on her ears, as if she could see through Xiao Wan. Xiao Wan felt very uncomfortable.

Liu Jinyu stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Wan's sleeve, and asked with stars in her eyes, "Cousin's clothes are really beautiful. Give me one. I heard you have a lot of material at home."

Xiao Wan looked at her cheap cousin with a headache, thinking how would she know that? But it was not easy to get rid of her, so she could only patiently ask them what they were doing there.

Liu Jingui climbed up and chuckled, "Second Aunt, my parents asked us to come and help. Your family has opened such a large workshop, can you trust outsiders? I'm your nephew, isn't it better than others to manage it? Don't worry, I don't ask for much wages, just a hundred coins a day as a manager is enough for me."

Haha, Xiao Wan almost laughed out of anger at these shameless words. Her aunt Shen looked as if it was a matter of course, and she applauded her son's words in her heart.

"We don't need any. We've already hired someone good, and we're only hiring female workers. I'm afraid you're not suitable."

"Huh? Only hiring female workers? Then why not ask your cousin to take care of it for you. Your cousin has been smart since she was young." Shen started to promote her daughter again.

She had heard that the Xiao family's workshop only paid twenty cents a day, and provided meals, which showed how wealthy the Xiao family was. Moreover, she came this time not just to ask her children to work.

Xiao Wan asked coldly, "Jin Yu, are you strong? We do hard labor here. We carry and wash potatoes every day. You can be a steward, too. Can you read?"

Xiao Wan's series of questions confused Liu Jinyu, because that was not what her mother told her.

My mother said that my second aunt's house was my home and asked me to ask her for new clothes and jewelry. My second aunt's family was very rich now, living in a big house and running a workshop, so I asked her to find a way to stay.

How could she know how to read, and she didn't want to do manual labor. Her mother said she wanted to be a rich lady in the future.

I have to say, there are a lot of such ignorant people, including Xiao's uncle's family and the Shen family. Do they think it is so easy to be a rich wife?

Shen laughed and stared at Liu's new clothes with golden eyes. If she wore them, they would definitely look more noble and beautiful than those on Liu Ermei.

She rolled her eyes, changed her tone, and pretended to be pitiful and said to Liu: "Second sister, I know that your eldest brother and I did the wrong thing, but your nephews and nieces are grown up, and our family is poor, so they want to come and work for your family to earn some money so that they can marry Jin'er. After all, they can call you 'Auntie'. Why don't you let them stay for a few days and see if there is anything they can do for them? Is that okay?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt a little soft-hearted. When the two children were young, they were very close to their aunt, but later they were taught by their eldest brother and sister-in-law in a way that was simply unbearable to watch.

My nephew is almost sixteen years old, but he is still so carefree. I feel uncomfortable about it, so I look back at my daughter.

In front of outsiders, Xiao Wan always listened to her parents, so she said, "Mom, you decide."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said to Mrs. Shen, "Sister-in-law, why don't you stay here tonight? Have Brother Jin learn how to buy potatoes from his uncle. Once he learns how to buy potatoes from other villages and plant some himself, he'll definitely be able to make a living."

Shen nodded with a smile, but she didn't agree in her heart. You are so good, Liu Ermei, you only have one nephew, and you treat him like this? Humph, just wait, I won't be polite either.

Xiao Wan felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to make vermicelli or anything like that. However, Mrs. Liu, considering that they were her family, still prepared a sumptuous meal.

The meal was so delicious that Shen's mother and son drooled over it. Shen was even more proud of herself, thinking that she would be able to eat and drink like this every day in the future.

Xiao Wan asked Liu Jinyu to sleep with her so that she could keep an eye on her. Liu Jingui went to the guest room in the outer courtyard, and her aunt also stayed in the guest room in the inner courtyard.

Liu Jinyu touched Xiao Wan's bed and quilt, and saw the furnishings in Xiao Wan's room. She was so envious that she almost fainted, and she just wished she could live there every day.

Xiao Wan ignored her and slept well that night.
