After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai returned home with sorrowful faces. When Chen Donghua saw her two sons looking worried, she hurriedly asked about the progress of the matter.

Ruan Xiaojun said angrily, "Mother, you can't even imagine! I went to find Grandpa Clan Chief and we followed the pig's footprints to Grandma's house. Grandpa Clan Chief also saw the mud on the pig's footprints."

Then he took his second uncle to check the rice seedlings in the field. His second uncle did not deny that their pigs had eaten our seedlings. When we asked them to compensate us for the seedlings or give us 150 catties of rice, Grandma ran to the edge of the field, crying and threatening to kill herself, which angered the clan elder, who then simply abandoned the matter.

Later we had to go home. "Mom, it's all our fault for not taking good care of the seedlings..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Donghua was equally furious. She was used to her mother-in-law's tantrums and knew her sons were at their wits' end. She could only sigh and say, "This isn't your fault. Don't take all the blame. Let's think of another way!"

Ruan Mumu overheard the conversation between her two older brothers and her mother outside her room, and walked out of the room with heavy steps.

Seeing her family's dejected faces, she felt terrible. She knew that her family could only rely on those two acres of land to make a living, and now that the seedlings were destroyed, everyone was extremely anxious and eager to find a way to salvage the situation.

"Is Mr. Zi here?" Ruan Mumu decided to ask the space butler, Zi Elf, for help, so she silently murmured in her mind.

"Dear Master, it's so rare for you to summon me. Is there anything I can help you with?" The purple elf's voice immediately echoed in Ruan Mumu's mind.

“Mr. Zi, my rice seedlings have been destroyed. You are so smart, you must have some way to fix it, right?” Ruan Mumu told him about her predicament without hesitation.

"Master, we have rice seeds in our space!" the purple elf replied cheerfully.

"But it's probably too late now, isn't it?" Ruan Mumu asked dejectedly.

When Ruan Mumu was little, she had worked the land. Back then, her family was poor and could only make a living by farming. Fortunately, her parents were smart, hardworking, and diligent, so they managed to get by. Later, her parents went out to do business and built a successful career, which allowed them to move to the city and buy a large villa.

Nevertheless, the family still frequently returns to their old home in the countryside to relax from the pressures of work, sometimes do some work, and reminisce about their past life.

"Master, don't you know there's a spiritual spring in the space? That stuff can promote plant growth! Although the daily output isn't much, mixing it into the water used to soak rice seeds can speed up the germination process! It's just that the effect isn't that fast," the purple elf said somewhat proudly.

"What?" Ruan Mumu exclaimed in surprise.

"Mumu, what's wrong?" Chen Donghua asked with concern when she heard Ruan Mumu's exclamation.

Only then did Ruan Mumu realize that she had unconsciously shouted out her inner surprise.

To cover up her slight embarrassment, she quickly explained, "Mother, I just think Grandma and the others have gone too far, it's really shocking! When we divided the family property yesterday, we made it very clear that our family has nothing to do with them anymore, but they are still acting so recklessly. It's obvious they are bullying us! Our rice seedlings were destroyed, it must have been Grandma who drove the pigs to do it last night."

Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai nodded in agreement.

"Alright, there's no use saying more. Your grandmother has always been like this. If we keep pressing her, and something really happens to her, the villagers will say we forced her to her death, and we'll be gossiped about by them for the rest of our lives," Chen Donghua said with a sigh.

"Mother, let's see if we can salvage the seedlings now. We'll try to grow as much grain as we can!" Ruan Mumu said with a worried look on her face.

After hearing this, Chen Donghua could only nod helplessly and said, "Xiaojun, Xiaohai, you two go check on the fields later!"

“Yes, Mother,” Ruan Xiaojun and Ruan Xiaohai replied in unison.

At this moment, Ruan Mumu was preoccupied with the matter of the spatial spring that the purple elf had mentioned. She decided to go back to her room and lie down to ask questions slowly, so as not to involuntarily shout out her true thoughts again, which would make her family think she was talking nonsense.

So she said to the three of them, "Mother, eldest brother, second brother, I've been standing here for a while and I feel quite tired. I'd like to go back to my room and rest for a bit."

Upon hearing this, the three men looked at her with concern, worried that she might be unwell. After carefully observing her and confirming that she was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Ruan Mumu turned and went back to the room that didn't even have a door, and slowly lay down. Looking at the dilapidated walls around her and this extremely shabby new home, she couldn't help but sigh heavily: "When will this home ever improve?"

“Master, find an opportunity to come into the space, drink the spiritual spring water, and let your wounds heal faster. With your intelligence, leading this family to prosperity is a simple matter!” The purple elf responded to Ruan Mumu again.

"Mr. Zi, could you tell me about this vast space you manage? What's so special about it? Could you tell me all of that?" Ruan Mumu asked.

"My dear master, I don't know how to tell you this right now. You'll have to discover the surprise yourself!" the purple elf said mysteriously.

Ruan Mumu lay in bed, racking her brains about how to enter the space and retrieve the rice seeds without alerting anyone. After much deliberation, she decided to pretend to go to the toilet.

Guided by her memory, she arrived at the nearest toilet, but what she saw made her frown: a rickety bamboo door, a makeshift fence surrounding the area, a large pit in the center, and a stench that could kill… She sighed inwardly, realizing that this was several times worse than the toilets she had experienced as a child in her previous life. However, she had no time to complain about the appalling conditions, as she needed to complete her plan as quickly as possible.

She frowned, pinched her nose, and cautiously slipped into the toilet. Unable to stand the smell, Ruan Mumu didn't want to stay a moment longer. In an instant, she silently chanted "enter" and went straight into her own space.

Ruan Mumu found herself in her familiar room. She eagerly took deep breaths of the fresh air, seemingly trying to shake off the nauseating smell from before. She even felt a slight disgust at the lingering odor on herself.

However, the most important thing at the moment was to go to the restroom to relieve herself. After she came out of the restroom, she finally remembered that she needed to ask the space steward, Purple Elf, about the location of the spirit spring water.

"Master, the Spirit Spring is in the kitchen. There's a water purifier there, right? The water that comes out after filtering is the Spirit Spring water. However, it's no longer an ordinary water purifier; it's the source of the Spirit Spring water. It can only provide two cups a day." The purple elf answered her question perfectly.

Ruan Mumu walked into the kitchen with curiosity. Her eyes fell on the water purifier's outlet and she found an exquisite jade basin placed below it. The water inside was not much, about the capacity of two cups.

"Master, hurry up and drink a cup! That will help the wound on your forehead heal quickly." The purple elf urged anxiously, not wanting its master to suffer any harm.

Ruan Mumu took a cup, poured out one cup, and put the rest in a large cup filled with cooled boiled water. "Anyway, there are two cups every day, so I can't waste them. I have to remember to come and collect the spiritual spring water every day from now on, so as not to miss it," Ruan Mumu thought to herself.

Picking up the small cup, Ruan Mumu slowly savored the spiritual spring water. At first taste, it felt even sweeter than mountain spring water, and apart from that, it was no different.
