Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

This is basically how courtyards are arranged in the village.

"I don't know either, I'll just do as my third aunt says."

Third Aunt smiled and said, "That's all you need to know. Buy everything you need today. You can have rice or noodles for lunch. You don't need to buy vegetables like cabbage and radishes; we have plenty in our garden."

Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian didn't grow vegetables, but Third Aunt's family had many members and grew a lot. They couldn't possibly eat all the common vegetables, so they would sometimes take them to the county market to sell.

Anyway, these dishes aren't worth much money, so I might as well use them to do someone a favor.

"Then thank you very much, Third Aunt," Lin Shuyun replied.

When Auntie San left, she was a little regretful, saying, "All of Changtian's friends are good-looking, but they are all engaged."

Once there were no outsiders, Lin Shuyun said to the five people, "You should go to town and rest for the night and come back tomorrow. As you saw today, the courtyard is only so big, there's really no place to stay."

Qingfeng said, "Young Madam, please make a list of what you need, and we will buy it according to the list so that you don't have to make the trip yourself."

Lin Shuyun didn't stand on ceremony and quickly wrote out a list, which she gave to Qingfeng along with the money, saying, "Thank you all, here's the money."

"Need not……"

Just as Qingfeng was about to say that he didn't need to give any money, the bag containing the money was already in his arms.

The five of them went to town to prepare things.

Tingni flashed her canine teeth, "The young mistress is quite sensible; she actually paid."

This made him like her more.

These men, who had been living a life of hardship and sleeping in the open, didn't have much money on them. They hadn't earned any money since finding the young general.

"Hmph, at least she still has some shame." Golden Snake still had a sour face.

Tingni smiled and said, "As a fellow woman, don't be so prejudiced. Why should women make things difficult for each other? I think the young mistress is a very nice person."

The golden snake stopped talking and didn't even bother to look at Tingni.

Qingfeng and the others looked at Jin She, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. They knew she wouldn't listen if they tried to persuade her, so they simply gave up.

noon.

Old Xu came back drunk.

He got quite drunk at the village chief's house, jumping and running around excitedly for a while before Xiaoqing finally got him back to his room to sleep.

There was another patient in the room, Gu Chen.

When he came in, Gu Ru and Gu Bao, who were taking care of Gu Chen, were so frightened that their faces turned ashen.

Xiaoqing scoffed, "What? Cowards! I won't do anything to you!"

Xiaoqing came out after putting Old Man Xu down.

Qin Niangzi asked Xiaoqing to set up a resting place in the livestock shed, which was the same shed where the donkeys used to be.

Xiaoqing thought it was for the workers building the house, but after it was finished, Qin Niangzi said that Xiaoqing and Xu Laotou would stay there that night.

After working all day, it turned out the livestock shed was for his own use; Xiao Qing's face turned green with rage.

He was on the verge of going crazy, and he was taking his anger out on the piece of wood.

Hearing this, Lin Shuyun took out a pear and handed it to Xiaoqing, saying gently, "Brother Xiaoqing, how about we switch? You can go to the room and stay with my husband, and I'll stay outside."

Xiao Qingmu shook her head with a stern face, "No, how can a woman like you sleep in a place like this?"

“But I can’t bear to let you live here. The best solution is for me to live in the livestock shed and you to sleep in the bed. You are my brother.” Lin Shuyun sighed and looked at Xiaoqing with concern.

Xiaoqing was moved for a moment, but her expression remained unpleasant. "What's the point of two grown men squeezing together? I'll stay here!"

Lin Shuyun smiled, "Brother Xiaoqing, I knew you were good to me."

Xiaoqing reached out and touched Lin Shuyun's hair. "You're my sister, why are you being so polite with me? You're a girl, you should remember to take good care of yourself."

Qin Niangzi said sarcastically from the side, "Tsk tsk, she didn't want to stay, but she ended up staying anyway. Why did she make such a fuss in the first place?"

Xiaoqing didn't reply or pay attention to Qin Niangzi, and turned to go to her room to get her things.

Qin Niangzi stood there for a while, then went into the kitchen to cook.

Lin Shuyun watched their retreating figures as they went to find Jiang Changtian. Only the two of them could resolve the knot in their hearts.

Xiaoqing and Old Man Xu spent the night in the livestock shed, but it wasn't too cold at night, so they could cover themselves with thicker blankets.

Old Xu has been asleep since he returned at noon, fast asleep on the makeshift bed.

Xiaoqing stared blankly into the darkness.

"Why are you standing here looking at something so late at night instead of sleeping?"

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard a sound.

Xiaoqing turned her head and saw that Old Man Xu had woken up and was sitting on the bed looking at her.

"Looking at the moon, looking at the stars, why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing up here?"

"Hehe, I need to pee, come help Grandpa up!" Old Xu swayed as he got up.

Xiaoqing's face darkened, but she still helped Old Man Xu get up in the middle of the night.

After returning, Old Xu lay down again.

Xiaoqing turned around and continued looking at the night sky. The moon had disappeared into the clouds, and the night seemed even darker.

"Grandpa, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

"Eat well, drink well, play well, and have fun." Old Xu scratched his slightly itchy buttocks.

What if you feel that all of this is meaningless?

"Then live for the people you care about, and make their lives better. Stop being so sentimental and go to sleep. You still have work to do tomorrow! Don't even think about slacking off!"

Old Xu turned over, yawned, and fell asleep again.

Does he care about anyone? It seems like he doesn't anymore.

Xiaoqing didn't know how long she had been standing there.

……

……

The day after dawn, the people building the house arrived.

It's Old Li from the village just two miles away. He's a skilled house builder and has built courtyards for wealthy families in town.

When they arrived, they brought six other people with them, all of whom were used to doing manual labor.

"Scholar, tell me how you want this courtyard built." Old Li asked the host to tell him in advance how big and how it should be built.

Jiang Changtian had already discussed it with Lin Shuyun yesterday and they had taken out the blueprints they had drawn in advance.

Old Li exclaimed, "Wow, this courtyard is really grand!"

While Jiang Changtian was talking to Lao Li, Lin Shuyun and Qin Niangzi were processing the meat they had bought yesterday.

At the door of my third aunt's house.

When her daughter-in-law, Ms. Tan, saw that her mother-in-law had actually taken so many vegetables from the field, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Mom, these are all perfectly good vegetables, are you just giving them away for free? There are so many!"

She was planning to send some of these radishes to her parents' home, but she never expected to give them away for nothing. How could she accept that?

They didn't say they'd pay, so if we just hand it over like that, it's practically free.

Third Auntie could tell what her daughter-in-law was thinking at a glance. "If you don't want to go, you can stay here. I'll call someone else to come with you. Stop nagging and talking nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Tan hurriedly went to say goodbye.

She's already lost so much money on vegetables, she has to make it back, otherwise she'll suffer a huge loss.
