Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan
Chapter 47 The Substitute Bride (4)
Rain and mist hang heavy over the courtyard, the red candles at the lavish banquet dimmed.
Alone in the cold night in the bridal chamber, her newly made-up face is radiant, yet no one sees her.
Who pities the sleepless nights, the sorrowful fan in vain?
Year after year, the sun and moon revolve, hoping for your return to bring good news.
As dawn broke, Dong Ping had already gotten up and washed, and tiptoed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
As a newlywed, on the morning of her first day of marriage, in addition to serving tea to her parents-in-law, she also has to prepare breakfast.
Moreover, Dong Yunqing married into the Guo family to take care of Guo's seriously ill father, so how could she let her mother-in-law prepare breakfast herself?
Although Dong Ping was pampered by the madam at Cuihonglou, she had lived at home for many years before, so she could still manage things like washing clothes and cooking.
Furthermore, since Dong Yunqing is the second young lady of the Dong family, it's understandable that she wouldn't know how to do housework, and her parents could understand if she didn't do it well.
Although Dong Ping's cooking can't be described as particularly delicious, in the current situation, being able to eat one's fill is good enough; who would pursue dishes that are perfect in color, aroma, and taste?
Right now, it's just war, but in the future, when natural disasters strike, even basic necessities like food and clothing will become a problem, and life will only get harder and harder.
Fortunately, although the Guo family had declined, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and they still had a lot of food stored up at home.
Dong Ping took a bamboo winnowing basket to the yard and picked some fresh mugwort. She returned to the kitchen, picked up the remaining yams from the ground, moved a small stool to the well, and filled a bucket halfway with water to wash the yams and mugwort.
In the countryside, some common herbs are planted in the yard, or one or two common herbs sprout out of the ground on their own.
Perhaps because of yesterday's wedding banquet, there was still a lot of food left in the kitchen.
Therefore, Dong Ping will not go to the field to pick the food for breakfast.
Moreover, as a newlywed, Dong Ping didn't even know where the Guo family's land was.
Dong Ping had already decided what to eat for breakfast: millet porridge with green rice dumplings.
This breakfast is simple and doesn't require much effort, but it's extremely healthy.
Yam is sweet and neutral in nature, and non-toxic. It enters the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. It is mainly used to strengthen the middle and replenish deficiency, eliminate cold and heat pathogens, replenish the middle and boost qi, treat various deficiencies and injuries, and heal the five types of fatigue and seven types of injuries.
Pork is sweet, neutral, and salty in nature. It enters the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. It nourishes deficiency and strengthens the body, nourishes yin and moistens dryness, tonifies the kidneys and nourishes blood, generates body fluids and moistens the muscles, promotes urination and defecation, and quenches thirst.
Millet is sweet, cool, and salty in nature. It enters the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, and has the functions of harmonizing the middle jiao, tonifying the kidneys, clearing heat, and detoxifying.
The reason for serving it with green rice dumplings is that breakfast consisting only of millet porridge is not enough to fill you up, but Dong Ping doesn't have time to make steamed buns early in the morning.
In addition, we've already made millet porridge, so it's not good to eat soup noodles as the main dish, and fried noodles... My in-laws are not young, and it's not good for them to eat such greasy food so early in the morning.
It just so happens that it's springtime now, and the mugwort in the yard is growing vigorously, so Dong Ping decided to make green rice dumplings as a staple food.
Qingtuan (green glutinous rice dumplings) are made by mixing glutinous rice with freshly squeezed mugwort juice to form the dough, which is then filled with freshly ground sesame and white sugar filling. The glutinous rice is sticky and soft, the mugwort is slightly bitter, and the filling is sweet and fragrant, making it delicious, healthy, and filling.
A porridge of yam, shredded pork, and millet is simmering in the stove, while green rice dumplings are steaming in the steamer.
These two breakfast items only require some preparation time; once they're on the stove, as long as the heat is kept in check, there's basically nothing else to worry about. This saved time allows Dong Ping to carefully consider her next steps.
It's inevitable to confront your in-laws, and the sooner the better.
After all, the Dong family will send over the marriage certificate in just a few days.
If we wait until later to confront them, changing the marriage certificate will be quite troublesome. It's not impossible, but it will take a lot of effort. It's better to do it all at once now, since everything is just beginning.
But now that my father-in-law is seriously ill, if I accidentally anger him to death, my mother-in-law will definitely resent me.
At that point, the Dong family won't even need to intervene; the mother-in-law will probably divorce his wife on behalf of her son.
But we can't avoid confronting each other...
We need to think carefully about how to proceed with this showdown.
Dong Ping sat down on the small wooden stool in front of the stove, brought up the attribute panel, and opened the shop.
Each mission leaves me with 100 blessing points in debt...
Dong Ping's eye twitched involuntarily. She felt like she was doing the mission at a loss. At this rate, when would she be able to revive?
Although Dong Ping thought this way, she also knew that the road to resurrection was inherently long and arduous.
Of all the transmigration novels I read before I died, which female protagonist didn't perfect her own attributes before being resurrected?
With my terrible stats, even if I don't incur debt in every mission, the road to resurrection is still long and arduous.
Dong Ping's fingertips, which were sliding in the air, suddenly stopped, and a glint of light flashed in her previously calm eyes: Good stuff!
Item: Immortal Spring Water (Consumable)
Quantity: One bottle can be purchased per mission.
Efficacy: Cleanses the marrow and strengthens the body, eliminates various diseases
Price: 80 Blessing Points
After much deliberation and careful study of the user manual, Dong Ping gritted her teeth and decided to buy it. The price was a bit high, but it was worth it.
Moreover, if the immortal spring water is not completely used up during this mission, it can be stored in the system space and become one's own item for use in other worlds.
This world isn't some kind of immortal cultivation world. I only need to use this immortal spring water to strengthen my parents-in-law's bodies and cure all their ailments. I don't think I'll need much.
However, with a debt of 80 points, it means that Dong Ping can only use 20 points in the future.
In other words, Dong Ping's only resources now, besides the Immortal Spring Water, are 20 Blessing Points. Can these improve the Guo family's life and reverse Dong Ping's tragic fate?
Dong Ping couldn't help but sigh. Born into a chaotic world with constant natural disasters, the road ahead was truly long and arduous! Dong Ping shook her head helplessly, gritted her teeth, and still exchanged for the Immortal Spring Water.
The roosters in the yard have already started crowing.
Presumably her in-laws would be getting up soon, Dong Ping took a large plate from the cabinet, opened the steamer that was emitting white steam, and used chopsticks to pick up the soft and glutinous green dumplings and arrange them one by one.
She turned and left the kitchen, setting the food on the stone table under the locust tree in the courtyard. Then Dong Ping went back to the kitchen and carried the pot of simmering porridge directly to the stone table. Finally, she went back to the kitchen and brought back three sets of bowls and chopsticks, and a large wooden spoon, setting them out.
When Dong Ping finished setting out the breakfast, Guo's parents had not yet finished washing up. Dong Ping quickly lifted the lid and swiftly dripped two drops of spring water into the porridge.
The celestial spring water didn't specify how much to use at a time, but since this kind of celestial treasure has the effect of cleansing the marrow and rejuvenating the essence, it naturally shouldn't be used in excess.
If it really happens like in those cultivation novels, where you have to get diarrhea to cleanse your marrow and essence, Dong Ping can only laugh it off.
