Traveling to ancient times? Break off the relationship first! Then divorce! Make a lot of money

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Grandma Xiao's faint response from inside the room.

"Yes, I'm at home."

After a while, Grandma Xiao came out from the main room and said with a smile, "I'm cooking in the backyard kitchen."

Yuan Junyao said, "I'll move in tonight and pay you the rent later."

"There's no rush for the rent. You can pay it anytime. Come on, come inside. There's a cowshed next to my house where there are no cows. Let's park it there!"

Grandma Xiao was very welcoming and arranged everything. She cleaned up the west wing and made it clean and tidy, which made people feel very comfortable.

She also helped Yuan Junyao move things.

In the carriage were some common clothes for changing, as well as some firewood, rice, oil and salt that she had left for herself. Although she might not eat at home, she still had to have what she needed.

In addition, she prepared a coal stove and a pot for herself. The coal stove is similar to a bucket, which is empty in the middle and is used to burn round black coal balls. It is most suitable for temporary cooking.

When she was ready to cook for herself, she would simply make it in the yard.

When the craftsmen come, there will be too many people, so they can only borrow the kitchen of Grandma Xiao's house. Then Grandma Xiao won't have to cook and can just eat with them.

She was not sure about cooking for so many people, so she planned to hire someone to do it. She asked how much it would cost for a meal or a day, and she believed that there were many women in the village willing to come.

"Why are you preparing so many things? What are you cooking for? I can eat with you. I have food from farming anyway, and I can't even spend all the rent from the land."

Grandma Xiao's family owns fifty acres of land, and it is not certain whether her two sons are dead or not, so each of them has twenty acres of land in their names.

When Grandma Xiao's husband was alive, he also had more than 20 acres of land. After he died, the state-allocated land was taken away, and he still had 10 acres left.

Grandma Xiao cultivated five acres herself and rented out the rest.

So she had enough food to eat and more money than she could spend. It was a small amount that an old lady could spend, and she was just trying to get by.

She could not rest in peace even after her death because she had never seen her two sons alive or dead.

"Grandma Xiao, let it be what it is. How can a young man like me take advantage of you?"

Yuan Junyao insisted on her own opinion. Although the old man was kind, she did not want to feel guilty.

Grandma Xiao nodded when she heard this, but didn't force it. She prepared to go back to the kitchen to continue cooking. She asked, "Have you eaten yet? We just moved in, let's eat together!"

Yuan Junyao did not refuse, otherwise it would be too unkind.

Grandma Xiao made cornmeal steamed buns and a plate of wild celery.

As soon as Yuan Junyao sat down at the table, she brought out a plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers. It was obvious that she had added this after Yuan Junyao arrived.

For ordinary farmers, the best food is eggs.

Cornmeal steamed buns are much more delicious than those made with brown rice and are not as difficult to swallow.

Yuan Junyao felt that she was quite lucky after traveling through time. The Uncle Hu and Grandma Xiao she met were very nice.

"Eat more. I usually eat alone. It's rare for someone to accompany me today."

Grandma Xiao was very happy and pushed the plate of scrambled eggs in front of Yuan Junyao, asking her to eat more.

Yuan Junyao nodded and asked Grandma Xiao to eat too.

Grandma Xiao just shook her head and said she didn't want to eat it.

Yuan Junyao could only eat by herself, but Grandma Xiao kept looking at her throughout the meal, which made her feel strange.

She thought that maybe Grandma Xiao had been too lonely all these years, so this happened.

After dinner, Yuan Junyao wanted to help clean up the dishes, but Grandma Xiao refused. Unable to persuade the old woman, she could only go for a walk in the front yard alone.

It was already dark after dinner. The sky was full of stars in the summer and the night was particularly cool.

Yuan Junyao was walking in the front yard, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.

At this moment of complete silence and peace, she suddenly heard an extremely faint sound coming from the west wing, like the muffled sound of something hitting the ground.

There was only one sound, but she heard it very clearly.

This west wing is different from the Zhang family's. The Zhang family's house has three rooms built next to each other, while Grandma Xiao's house is an independent large house.

The door opens double-handled and has windows on both sides, but it is locked. There should be no one inside. Could a thief have broken in?

She slowed down her pace and walked forward, wanting to see what was going on inside through the window.

Just as she was moving closer and hadn't seen what was going on inside, a sharp shout came from behind her.

"what are you doing?"

Yuan Junyao was startled and turned around subconsciously, only to see Grandma Xiao staring at her with a gloomy face, looking very ugly.

She had never seen Grandma Xiao show such an expression before, so she quickly explained: "I just heard a sound inside..."

At this moment, she just felt very strange. Wasn't it just a peek inside? Why such a big reaction?

Is there something weird here?

Grandma Xiao's expression softened as she said, "It could be a mouse. What kind of noise could there be? It's been empty for so many years."

Yuan Junyao nodded, not wanting to get involved, and moved a little further away from the west wing.

Perhaps Grandma Xiao also felt that she had overreacted. She explained, "I didn't mean to be mean to you. Ever since my two sons left home, I haven't dared to enter these two rooms. I'm afraid that seeing the things there will remind me of them. I also don't allow anyone to go in, alas."

Yuan Junyao apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I won't get close to you anymore."

The explanation was a bit far-fetched, but Yuan Junyao was not a curious person. Everyone has some secrets, so it was better to mind her own business.

After this happened, she no longer had the heart to take a walk and simply went back to the house to practice her internal energy.

Grandma Xiao stood there, watching Yuan Junyao return to the house with a heavy look in her eyes.

Yuan Junyao seemed to notice something, slowed down her pace and turned around suddenly, only to see Grandma Xiao looking at the west wing and wiping her tears secretly.

She couldn't help but sigh softly. Grandma Xiao was quite pitiful.

Back in the room, Yuan Junyao sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath and began to practice internal energy, and soon she got into the state.

But not long after, she suddenly felt her scalp tingling and a feeling of being watched.

She immediately opened her eyes and looked around the room.

The warm yellow light illuminated the simple room. Night insects chirped outside the window. The night was as usual, with nothing unusual.

But she felt more and more strange in her heart. Living in this house was not as peaceful as she had imagined.

The main reason she moved out was to have fewer arguments with the original owner's parents, so that it would be more convenient for her to do something and no one would control her.

Of course, living in someone else's house is not convenient, but at least they have no right to ask you what you are going to do, and she doesn't need to worry about anything.

These are only temporary. Once the new house is built, you won’t have to live under someone else’s roof.

Yuan Junyao took a deep breath and simply lay down on the bed.

Just take a rest first. I can’t calm down right now anyway.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
