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

Lin Shuyun asked Old Man Xu to prepare the fish first, while she prepared the apricots.

Seeing that we didn't have enough basins at home, I picked up a basket of apricots and went to my third aunt's house to borrow basins.

At that time, people's living conditions were not very good, and they didn't distinguish so clearly between basins for washing clothes and vegetables.

Some families even share the same basin for washing their feet, face, vegetables, and even their bottoms.

However, the basin at my third aunt's house is new; it hasn't been washed at all. It's quite large and is specifically placed in the yard to dry water.

It was getting late, and the water in Auntie's basin was only half full. Auntie poured out the water and asked Lin Shuyun.

"Changtian's wife, can you carry this by yourself? Do you need me to help you carry it over?"

Wooden basins are heavy to begin with, and this one is so big that it must weigh at least fifty or sixty pounds.

Third Aunt looked at Lin Shuyun's small frame and realized she couldn't lift it.

"Thank you, Auntie. I can carry it. I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning."

Lin Shuyun simply picked it up, hoisted it onto her shoulder, and walked away.

As I was leaving, I ran into my third aunt's son returning from the fields.

Third Aunt's son looks quite like Third Aunt, and he also has the surname Jiang, and his name is Jiang Quan.

They have some roundabout family ties with Jiang Changtian's family.

Jiang Quan stared blankly as Lin Shuyun carried his family's basin away.

"Mother, my sister-in-law is really strong."

He was younger than Jiang Changtian, so naturally he had to call Lin Shuyun "sister-in-law".

"With strength like that, how will you survive in the future? Alright, alright, close your eyes and go wash your hands and eat."

Third Aunt carried the basket of apricots, shook her son, and told him to hurry inside.

Her daughter-in-law is petty; if she were to see this, she might not be happy about it.

Lin Shuyun borrowed a basin and washed the apricots first.

There's a well in the yard, which makes washing convenient; you don't have to fetch water from outside.

There are many river bends and groundwater at the foot of the mountain, so you can find water without digging very deep. Therefore, almost every household has a well.

Well water is cold, so in the summer we would put it in the yard to dry in the sun. After a midday, it would become warm and cozy, so our hands wouldn't feel cold when washing or doing other things.

However, you'll have to boil water in winter.

Lin Shuyun worked very efficiently, washing all the apricots.

By this time, Old Xu had almost finished washing the fish, and Lin Shuyun took over and started cooking.

Coal Ball came to Lin Shuyun's feet, meowing and complaining.

"Shu Yun, that cripple on the kang knows kung fu. He almost killed me today with an apricot pit."

Lin Shuyun didn't understand, so she patted the little cat's head.

"Coal Ball, you didn't go out today? Wait, I'll make you some fish."

Upon hearing that there was fish to eat, Coal Ball stopped barking and jumped onto an empty stool to wait, occasionally barking into the house.

What sounds like a cat meowing to others, Jiang Changtian hears as extremely offensive insults.

In the room.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Changtian struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

In just a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat and collapsed back onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Lin Shuyun naturally heard the commotion inside the house, but pretended not to hear it.

Jiang Changtian's leg bones have almost recovered. Standing up too soon would cause secondary damage, but what does it matter? Her healing ability can heal him.

Once the fish was cooked, Lin Shuyun called out as usual, "Time to eat!"

Four fish, three people and a cat, one fish per person.

In short, it smells amazing.

After finishing her meal, Lin Shuyun washed the pots and pans and began processing the apricots.

After removing the pits from the apricots, they are dried to make dried apricots.

Dried apricots can be stored for a longer time than fresh ones.

Xinghua Village has a lot of apricots, which may not be found elsewhere. If they are preserved for a long time, they can be transported to other places for sale.

There was only one pot in the kitchen, and Lin Shuyun planned to use it to dry things.

"Girl, I'll start a fire for you." Old Xu came over.

Lin Shuyun said, "You don't need to do that. You should go to sleep. You're so old, I don't want anything to happen to you. I'd have to pay for your medical treatment and medicine, and I'd be at a huge loss."

"Hmph, I'm just trying to help you out, and you don't even appreciate it." Old Xu pouted and went back into the house.

After he left, Lin Shuyun used her supernatural ability to extract the water from the apricot.

Those three baskets of apricots will take forever to dry.

After all the moisture was drained, Lin Shuyun felt somewhat tired.

However, the freshly made, all-natural dried apricots without any additives are ready.

When she returned to the room, Jiang Changtian was already asleep, so she tiptoed to lie down.

Recalling that inexplicable dream, and looking at Jiang Changtian's scarred profile, she used her supernatural abilities to heal his leg again.

then……

I feel like my body is being hollowed out.

The next morning.

Lin Shuyun yawned as she loaded a basket of dried apricots onto the donkey cart.

Three baskets of apricots, once dried, will only yield this one basket.

Old Xu was stunned when he came out to wash up. "Yun girl, you...you...you finished everything in one night. You didn't sleep at all, did you?"

"Oh, is Uncle Xu going to town?" Lin Shuyun replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

Old Xu shook his head, "I'm not going. I'll stay home and watch the house. It seems we're out of vegetables. Remember to buy some when you come back."

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Shuyun didn't make breakfast. She went to her third aunt's house to return the wooden basin first, and then took Jiang Changtian out.

Jiang Changtian looked at the basket of dried apricots on the donkey cart, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Once he can walk again, he won't let her suffer like this anymore.

Once the donkey cart had gone far away, Old Xu grabbed a sickle and sneaked up the mountain to trap rabbits.

Why take the sickle? Naturally, it's to avoid stepping into a trap and hanging yourself.

Yun Yatou works so hard to support the family, he can't just sit around doing nothing.

……

……

Lin Shuyun took Jiang Changtian to the clinic for acupuncture, and then went to sell dried apricots.

"Fresh dried apricots, both sweet and sour, delicious and inexpensive!"

Lin Shuyun found a shady spot to hawk her wares. Because of her pretty appearance, passersby would glance at her, but no one bought anything.

This is the season when apricots are in season, and fresh apricots are very cheap, so why buy dried apricots?

So... Lin Shuyun stood there for quite a while, but didn't sell a single dried apricot.

"Young lady, it's you!"

Lin Shuyun was just thinking about whether to go to a teahouse or something similar to promote her product when a man in blue appeared in her line of sight.

Ke Xiuming came over based on the voice and thought it belonged to a beautiful woman.

The woman was indeed beautiful, but the last time she had been rather frightening, a memory he still vividly remembered.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, Lin Shuyun smiled.

"Young master, would you like to buy some of my dried apricots? They're sour, sweet, and delicious!"

This smile made Ke Xiuming's heart pound, and he instantly forgot about the snake incident from last time.

He stared at Lin Shuyun with a lecherous look.

"Young lady, why are you working so hard? Selling dried apricots in this sweltering heat? Come with me to the teahouse up ahead and have a cup of tea."

Lin Shuyun originally wanted to punch this lecher, but then she changed her mind.

He smiled and said, "I'll go if you buy my dried apricots."

Seeing this, Ke Xiuming waved his hand and said, "Buy, buy, I'll buy them all."

"Awang, give me the money."

Ke Xiuming's attendant took out a money bag.

Lin Shuyun said, "Twenty coins per catty, that's two ounces and eighty coins in total, thank you."

"Keep the change."

Ke Xiuming, being wealthy and powerful, urged Awang to hurry up and give him the money, while looking at Lin Shuyun impatiently.

"This way, young lady."

Lin Shuyun accepted three taels of silver and handed a basket of dried apricots to her attendant named Awang, who was almost crushed by the weight.

Then I followed Ke Xiuming to the teahouse in front.
