The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 19 Ancient Fantasy 15
"Really? Where can I hide it?" Her mother became interested as soon as she heard this. There's only so much space in the house, where could she possibly hide it?
Su Yuanyuan blinked. "It's a secret. I can't tell you. That's my little world."
Her mother rolled her eyes at her, saying, "You're just messing around. Are you sure no one can find it?"
"Of course, I've put it away properly, you can look for it, you definitely won't find it." Su Yuanyuan patted her chest and guaranteed, "If you find it, I'll go back and complain to the company."
"Alright, go and hide it well." Seeing how confident she was, Yue Niang believed her. At worst, she could just wait for her father to come back and look for it.
Su Yuanyuan took the silver note, walked around the courtyard, then went back to her room before coming out to tell her mother that she had hidden it well.
Moon Lady looked at her with some skepticism, said nothing, went out to look around, didn't care when she didn't find it, and tidied up to feed the chickens.
"Mother, are you going to give up looking for her?"
Su Yuanyuan didn't believe her mother was so at ease; that wasn't four taels, it was four thousand taels!
"I'm not going to look anymore. I'll wait for your father to come back and let him look for it." Yue Niang said indifferently. She had even searched the outhouse but couldn't find it.
Su Yuanyuan nodded, saying that it was fine for her father to look for it.
"Mom, when are we going to kill these chickens? They might freeze to death when it gets colder in a few days."
"Your father had something to do today, so we'll kill him tomorrow."
"Does it have to be my father who kills him? Can't we kill him ourselves?"
Looking at the listless chicken, Su Yuanyuan felt it was about to kick the bucket at any moment.
"Then you come?" Her mother glanced at her, her tone cold.
Su Yuanyuan quickly shook her head, saying it was fine to wait for her father to kill it; the chicken was lively and energetic, so it would definitely survive until then.
Su Yuanyuan sat in the room, feeling as if she had forgotten something. She stared blankly at one spot, trying to recall what she had forgotten.
She couldn't remember for a long time, so she simply gave up on thinking about it. Since she couldn't remember, it probably wasn't anything important.
She ate a few oranges, but finally couldn't sit still any longer, so she went back to her room and started embroidering. Hibernation was really hard to endure, especially in ancient times when there was nothing.
Su Yuanyuan stayed indoors embroidering, unaware that things were getting lively outside. She looked up, listening to the sounds in a daze.
What's going on? Shouldn't we be staying home all winter?
Su Yuanyuan put down her embroidery frame, put on a thick coat, and went outside. She saw her father busy in the yard.
Meanwhile, her mother was frying something in the kitchen, and a rich aroma wafted over.
"Dad, why is it so lively outside?"
Su Yuanyuan stood blankly at the door, and asked the question in a daze.
Su Jiye looked at his dazed daughter and smiled helplessly, "I told you to go out more. You've gone silly from embroidering, haven't you? New Year's Eve is in a few days, and everyone's out preparing for the New Year."
Su Yuanyuan suddenly realized and muttered to herself, "Is it already New Year's?"
She got dressed and went into the kitchen. Her mother had already fried a small basket of meatballs and was frying chicken nuggets.
Before her father could even lift a finger, several chickens froze to death that very night. Fortunately, it was cold, so they were fine after being outside all night.
"Mom, let me help you."
Su Yuanyuan walked over, rolled up her sleeves, and began to help.
"Can you give it up?"
Her mother looked at her mockingly, saying that no other family had a daughter like her, who spent the whole winter embroidering and must be getting bored to death!
"I'm just bored. What else can I do besides embroidery?"
Su Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly. She had only stayed in the room for a little longer, was it really that big of a deal?
For children, the Lunar New Year is the happiest time of the year, but unfortunately Su Yuanyuan is not a real child, so she did not feel happy.
During the Lunar New Year, the village holds ancestral worship ceremonies, but women are not allowed to participate; they can only cook outside the ancestral hall.
Su Yuanyuan reluctantly followed her mother to help out, but she still had to put on a smile.
She nimbly moved through the crowd when she suddenly heard someone mention the village chief's daughter.
She was taken aback. The village chief's daughter? Wasn't that Xu Yingxue? She slowed her pace and began to eavesdrop.
It turns out that the man Xu Yingxue saved a month ago secretly ran away while they were all asleep at night.
The next morning, when the village chief called him for breakfast, he found no one in the house and searched the yard but couldn't find him.
The village chief and the others didn't dare to ask openly. Although they knew what they needed to know, they all tacitly kept quiet about it.
They searched the village but couldn't find him, so they were certain he had run away. When Xu Yingxue found out, she was devastated and kept making a scene.
Finally, after Aunt Xu pressed her for details, she learned that Xu Yingxue had succumbed to the man's sweet words and given herself to him.
This really stirred up a hornet's nest. Uncle Wende was so angry that he grabbed a machete and was about to rush out the door, but Uncle Wenli stopped him.
The person has already run away, and they haven't been able to get any useful information from him in all these days. They also don't know where to look for him.
The most pressing issue right now is Xu Yingxue's problem. The older women in the village only know the general outline; the village chief's family is keeping it a secret, so they don't know much about it.
They hadn't seen Xu Yingxue for a month, and they didn't know if she was at home or had gone out to hide.
Su Yuanyuan frowned as she listened. Was this really the male lead? He was completely inhuman.
Although Xu Yingxue and she had some friction in the past, they did not have any deep-seated hatred. Su Yuanyuan felt indignant for her when she heard about this.
"Yuanyuan, don't just stand there, come and help." Yue Niang saw her daughter standing in front of a group of older women, frowning and seemingly lost in thought, so she quickly called her over.
The most gossipy people in the village are all in that group; we can't let her daughter hear anything she shouldn't.
"Coming, Mom." Su Yuanyuan snapped out of her daze and hurried over to help her mother. It was best to just listen to this kind of thing; she couldn't go to the village chief's house to say anything, lest people think she was gloating.
Time always passes by unnoticed. Spring comes and autumn goes, and Su Yuanyuan has grown into a young woman without realizing it.
She stopped selling embroidery a long time ago. Over the years, she has earned about three thousand taels of silver from the embroidery workshop. Her parents are frugal people and don't spend much. The family has saved more than ten thousand taels of silver.
They had been cooperating with Manager Lin for a long time. Su Yuanyuan provided Manager Lin with a recipe every month, and over time they became good friends.
She suggested moving to the town more than once, because there were too many rumors in the village, and people always kept bringing up the fact that she didn't get married.
Unfortunately, her parents were reluctant to leave, thinking that they would stop talking about it after a while, and that it would be difficult to persuade them in a short time.
Having no other option, Su Yuanyuan simply rebuilt the house, choosing a location further away from the rest of the village. As a result, the number of people coming to propose marriage increased significantly that year.
Her father dismissed them all with the excuse that his daughter was still young and he wanted to keep her for a couple more years, but Su Yuanyuan still heard a lot of unpleasant things from people.
Sometimes, seeing her parents' worried faces made her feel bad, but she was even more unwilling to marry just anyone.
