Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

In Lihua Village.

"This subordinate greets the master and the two young princes."

In the yard, Xia Jin was weaving a small cage for catching grasshoppers with bamboo strips.

Xia Xiao looked at the cage that was gradually taking shape in Xia Jin's hand, and bit his fingers while making a babbling sound.

Xia Zhao was reading quietly on a bamboo table under the tree.

Wushuang knelt in front of the three people.

"Get up."

Xia Jin glanced at him, her voice gentle and her whole demeanor difficult to conceal even with the coarse linen clothes she was wearing.

"Yes, thank you, master." Wushuang stood up and reported to Xia Jin about the recent situation.

"Master, Yunyu sent a message saying that Xu Xiang's clan has been properly resettled in Maple Leaf City."

"Um…"

Xia Jin showed no emotion and nodded in response, continuing to weave the bamboo cage in her hands.

When Xia Zhao heard this, he looked up at Wushuang, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Is my great-grandfather's family well?"

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Xu's family has been properly accommodated by Maple Leaf County Magistrate Xie Linzhi, and they are currently doing well."

Wushuang replied to Xia Zhao.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhao nodded and stopped talking. He was missing his great-grandfather.

His great-grandfather always taught him strictly, and he wished he didn't see him for ten days or half a month.

Now, after all the experiences, times have changed.

Seeing this, Xia Jin touched Xia Zhao's head.

"Zhao'er, let's go visit them after some time."

"Yeah...thank you, Daddy."

Xia Zhao wiped his slightly red eyes and said to Xia Jin.

He has now gotten used to calling Xia Jin "Daddy".

Xia Jin rubbed his head again and continued to weave the bamboo cage.

"Master, there's one more thing. Yunyu has also sent news that he has obtained the seven-colored poisonous spider in southern Xinjiang. If nothing goes wrong, he will be able to bring it back in half a month."

Wushuang didn't know why his master was so anxious to find the seven-colored poisonous spider.

I didn't dare to ask too much, and just told Xia Jin the news as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jin finally raised his eyes and looked at the woven bamboo cage. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his hand holding the bamboo cage paused slightly.

Is there finally any news?

Is there a way to cure my poison?

Three years, so many days and nights, is there finally a glimmer of hope?

"Dad, is there any news about the Seven-Colored Poisonous Spider? That's great!"

Xia Zhao listened to Mu Jiaojiao and Xia Jin talking about his poisoning.

Naturally, he knew the use of the seven-colored poisonous spider and seemed particularly excited at this moment.

Xia Jin loosened her grip on the bamboo stick.

I thought, yes, that’s great!

Wushuang didn't know the truth. Seeing the two masters excited, he had a vague feeling that perhaps the master's poison...

But he didn't dare to continue guessing, for he was afraid that he was wrong!

Xia Jin calmed down in an instant. After all, she had only found the seven-colored poisonous spider, and it was still unknown whether she could solve the problem.

Although Mu Jiaojiao's words were convincing, this poison was too rare and overbearing.

Therefore, it is better for him not to hold too much hope...

After all, this is a poison that even the Valley Master of the Divine Doctor has no way to treat.

After thinking about it, Xia Jin waved his hand and signaled Wushuang to leave.

"Daddy, can Mommy really help you detoxify?"

Xia Zhao still couldn't calm down the joy brought by this news, and couldn't help but ask Xia Jin.

"I do not know either."

Xia Jin looked at the bamboo cage in her hand and did not hide her inner uneasiness and worry.

"Daddy, Mom is so powerful, she will definitely be able to do it."

Seeing this, Xia Zhao inexplicably felt that his stepmother could cure his father.

Her stepmother is so capable. She can reason with him, buy him books, cure his illnesses, and make money.

Her stepmother will definitely be able to cure his father!

"Um…"

Xia Jin looked at Xia Zhao, who was determined to believe in Mu Jiaojiao, and nodded.

He also inexplicably believed Mu Jiaojiao.

……

After the father and son finished discussing Mu Jiaojiao, they were each doing their own things.

Mu Jiaojiao slowly drove the carriage to the door of her home.

They were noisy all the way here.

This was mainly because the villagers had never seen such a large carriage and were very surprised.

Especially since the person driving this carriage is Mu Jiaojiao!

The news spread from one family to ten, and from ten to a hundred, dozens of households in the village came to see Mu Jiaojiao driving the horse-drawn carriage.

When they arrived at Mu Jiaojiao's house, Ge Dagen's wife Li Xiaoyue finally couldn't help but ask.

"Mu Xiaocao, this... is this the carriage you rented?"

Li Xiaoyue thought, Mu Xiaocao is such a spendthrift. This carriage must cost five hundred coins a day to rent. How much meat can he buy with that?

"No."

When Mu Jiaojiao saw that it was Li Xiaoyue, she was too lazy to even respond perfunctorily and just dismissed her with two words.

Li Xiaoyue was furious when she saw Mu Jiaojiao's attitude.

"Mu Xiaocao, you didn't steal this, did you?"

Then she raised her voice, her face full of contempt.

Mu Jiaojiao: “…………”

She didn't know what Li Xiaoyue's IQ was. Who would steal a carriage?

Then she looked at Li Xiaoyue with an expression as if she was mentally retarded.

At this time, Ge Dagen, who had just returned from the fields and had rushed to see the excitement after hearing that Mu Jiaojiao's family had a big carriage, heard what his daughter-in-law Xingfu said, and hurried over to pat his outspoken daughter-in-law on the back.

"You're such a mouthfull, do you have any brains? Who would steal such a big carriage?"

"Xiao Cao, don't be offended. Your sister-in-law is talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously."

Ge Dagen then explained and smiled apologetically to Mu Jiaojiao.

"It's okay, Brother Ge."

Mu Jiaojiao didn't bother with Li Xiaoyue because Ge Dagen was an honest man.

Li Xiaoyue's IQ is totally unworthy!

"I bought this car because I saved a noble man on the way. He gave me some silver as a reward."

Although Mu Jiaojiao felt that her family had a car and a house and it was none of outsiders' business.

But he still explained that he felt these women were too idle and always wanted to spread rumors about him!

"Xiaocao, this...how much money did you get for this?"

When Old Man Liu, who had climbed into Mu Jiaojiao's yard last time, heard that there was silver, his eyes lit up.

Then he rubbed his hands and asked Mu Jiaojiao with a shameless face.

"Uncle Liu, what does this have to do with Uncle Liu? Could it be that Uncle Liu wants to come and climb my yard again?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the disgusting old man and said sarcastically.

"That's right, Old Man Liu, could it be that after you've found out everything, you still want to come and climb into Xiaocao's yard to steal some silver?"

Aunt Liu, who lived not far from Mu Jiaojiao's home, naturally came to see Mu Jiaojiao's carriage. After listening to Mu Jiaojiao's ridicule of Old Man Liu, she retorted.

"You bitch, and your wife, stop slandering me. I'm just curious!"

Old man Liu's tricks were exposed, and he looked fierce on the outside but was actually weak on the inside.

"Hmph, Old Man Liu, keep your mouth shut. You know whether it's slander or not. Be careful or Uncle Zheng will kick you out of the village."

Aunt Liu was also a fierce person and threatened Old Man Liu by pointing at him.

"I won't argue with a wife like you..."

When Old Man Liu heard this, he became very scared and ran away timidly, cursing.

After he was caught climbing into Mu Jiaojiao's yard last time and having an affair with Widow Li.

Liu Lizheng had warned him.

He was afraid that after being kicked out, he would have to become a homeless person and beg for food.

"Bah, shameless old man!"

Aunt Liu looked at Old Man Liu's back as he left and said "Pah".

"Everyone, please go away. This carriage was bought by Xiaocao with the money she earned. It's clean."

Then she spoke loudly to the people around her.

After seeing everyone leaving in a rustle, Mu Jiaojiao stepped forward to thank Aunt Liu.

"Xiaocao thanks Auntie."

"Girl, what are you saying to thank me? We are a family and we don't have any differences."

Aunt Liu took Mu Jiaojiao's hand and spoke enthusiastically.

"Squeak~"

The door creaked open, and Xia Jin, his father and his two sons, who had heard the noise in the house, walked out.

"Little Grass girl, is this the man you bought?"

Aunt Liu went to visit relatives in the neighboring Xinghua Village some time ago.

When I came back, I heard that Mu Jiaojiao spent two taels of silver to buy a man with two children.

This was also her first time meeting Xia Jin.

I just think that the man married to this little girl Xiaocao is really handsome, and the two taels of silver are worth it.

His face is a little pale. Although he has gained some weight and regained some color recently after being nursed back by Mu Jiaojiao, he still looks sickly.

"Aunt, I am your husband, Xia Jin."

Xia Jin spoke naturally without waiting for Mu Jiaojiao to answer.

"Oh, Xiaocao girl, your man is so handsome, but he seems a little weak. Is it okay?"

Aunt Liu is straightforward and outspoken, and says whatever she thinks.

Mu Jiaojiao: “…………”

She really doesn't know if this will work!

After all, I haven’t tried it!

Xia Jin: ………

"Oh my, look at me, I'm straightforward, and look at his two kids, they can do it naturally."

Aunt Liu saw the young couple's embarrassed expressions and immediately explained and joked.

Mu Jiaojiao: ...

She thought, it’s better for Aunt Liu not to explain!

Xia Jin: He is actually suspected?

So, the atmosphere became even more awkward!
