The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 15 Ancient Fantasy 11
She wasn't sleepy today, so she decided to tidy up. She managed to pick out some usable items, which she took out and used as soon as she came back from town—you could say she bought them.
The tidying up went on until dawn, and Su Yuanyuan was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She vaguely heard someone calling her, but she was too tired, so she responded and fell asleep again.
It wasn't until noon, when her mother called her for lunch, that Su Yuanyuan sat up in a daze. She washed her face with cold water to clear her head.
"You child, what time did you go to sleep last night? I called you this morning and you didn't seem to hear me. Come and eat right now."
The Moon Goddess served the dishes and kept nagging at her. Su Yuanyuan could only nod in agreement, not daring to show the slightest impatience.
Just like her mother said, the weather changes every day. They only rested for a couple of days before it started snowing.
Overnight, the snow had reached ankle-deep. Su Yuanyuan and her mother rarely went out anymore, with only her father occasionally venturing out.
Sometimes she would bring back meat, and sometimes she would carry a large bundle of firewood. Actually, her family had enough firewood, but her father said he felt uncomfortable if he went out and didn't bring something back.
"Husband, go to our parents' place later and see if they need anything else, and also send them some meat."
Her mother came out of the kitchen carrying a large piece of meat, which looked to weigh at least five pounds.
"Okay, put it there, I'll change my clothes and then go."
"Mother, can I go too?"
Su Yuanyuan has been staying at home for several days and wants to go out for a walk.
"You should stay at home. It's so cold, young ladies shouldn't go out too much. You'll catch a cold."
Her mother didn't even look at her; she just put the meat on the table and went inside.
Su Yuanyuan sighed in disappointment, shrank her neck, and ran into her room. She was just saying it.
It's so cold outside, it's much warmer inside. But having to keep embroidering is unbearable.
There's really nothing to do in winter, so Su Yuanyuan stayed indoors embroidering all day, only coming out to eat.
Half a month later, she felt that her skills had improved a lot, and the animals she embroidered looked just like real ones.
Of course, sitting and embroidering every day caused her weight to increase, but her mother said that it was just right now, because she was still too thin.
Su Yuanyuan had some doubts, but she didn't take them to heart. She still ran very lightly.
During dinner that day, her father told them some good news: there would be a big market in town the next day, and he told them to prepare themselves, go to bed early that night, and he would take them to town first thing in the morning.
"real!"
Su Yuanyuan opened her eyes wide with joy; she could finally go out.
"Be careful, don't throw the food away again."
Moon Lady tapped the table impatiently, reminding her to be careful.
"Hehe!" Su Yuanyuan chuckled, quickly finished her meal, and put down her bowl.
"I'll go prepare the things."
Looking at his lively daughter, Su Jiye chuckled and continued eating. "It's better for our daughter to be more lively. She's been staying indoors embroidering all day these days, and she's almost driven crazy."
Yue Niang rolled her eyes at him, "You spoil her so much, she'll lose all her girlishness if she gets any more lively."
"This is good. We only have one daughter, so we should make sure she has a comfortable life."
"You make it sound like everyone loves their daughter dearly. That's just how the world is. Do you want your daughter to be pointed at and gossiped about for the rest of her life?"
"Let's see who dares. I'm still here, I can still protect you, you can just have fun."
As Su Jiye spoke, he seemed to remember something and sighed.
“I know you like doing business, and I haven’t restricted you. You’re just overthinking things. You rarely go out after getting married. You should learn from our daughter and go for it with confidence. I’ll take care of you.”
Moon Lady lowered her eyes, her voice choked with emotion, "Why talk about these things now? I'm so old, how can I be as bold as a young girl?"
Su Jiye felt bad seeing her like this. It was all because of his mother-in-law. He didn't know what she had said to his wife before the marriage, but his wife dared not do business anymore. After the marriage, she rarely even went out.
He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into Yue Niang's bowl, his tone gentle, "Eat your food. Tell me when you've figured things out. I'll always support you."
"Hmm!" Yue Niang nodded, and stopped talking about it, just eating her meal in silence.
Unaware of her parents' conversation, Su Yuanyuan excitedly took out her embroidery, carefully selecting the flawed pieces and putting them together, planning to sell them the next day.
I rummaged through the space and found some other things that I could take out, including a 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. I don't know when I got it, but I plan to sell it secretly tomorrow.
She found her usual bamboo basket, lined it with several layers of thin cloth, and then packed the items into it.
The basket was placed in a conspicuous spot on the table, just in case I forgot about it tomorrow.
She hadn't been to a market in a long time; the last time was when she was ten years old, when she went with her dad and ate a string of all-natural candied hawthorns.
It was sweet and sour and quite delicious, but unfortunately she didn't like it very much. She only ate it occasionally, and never asked her dad for more.
Before it was completely dark, Su Yuanyuan climbed into bed, lay down, closed her eyes, and started counting sheep. And you know what? The more she counted, the more awake she became.
She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. After a while, she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore, so she quickly closed them to relax her mind and fell into a deep sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was still dark. Su Yuanyuan didn't look like she had just woken up. She quickly tidied herself up, picked up her basket, and waited in the yard.
"Father, hurry up!"
Watching her father slowly wash his face, Su Yuanyuan said with dissatisfaction.
Her father glanced at her sideways and said, "Wait."
Su Yuanyuan sat on the stool angrily. A moment later, her mother also came out dressed, and her father quickly got ready.
Carrying a bamboo basket on her back, she called them out. Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes so hard they almost flew to the sky. What a double standard!
She walked over, straddled her mother's arm, made a face at her father, and led her mother ahead, refusing to let him hold her hand.
Su Jiye's face darkened. He thought, "I'd rather not have this daughter!"
Yue Niang watched their childish behavior with a smile, clearly already used to it.
Because of the snow on the road, her father borrowed the village chief's oxcart and took her, her mother, and the village chief's aunt to town.
"Sister-in-law, why are you alone? Isn't Yingxue going?"
Seeing that there were only two sisters-in-law, Yue Niang asked curiously, "Isn't Xu Yingxue the girl who loves to join in the fun the most?"
"Don't mention her. I don't know what's wrong with that girl. When I called her this morning, she was like a firecracker had been set off. My husband told me to go by myself."
Aunt Xu looked very unwilling, and her tone was full of resentment.
“Originally, Wenli and his brother were going to come with me, but my sister-in-law came early this morning to call for help, saying that there was snow on her roof and asking the two of them to help clear it. There are no men in her family, so I asked the two brothers to go and help.”
