Yunxia's Quick Transmigration Journey

Chapter 9 A Village Girl in the 1970s

The money I saved from selling ginseng in previous years, plus what I got from this sale, is almost 20,000 yuan. And with Li Yuxuan's 10,000 yuan, he could buy a small courtyard house in Beijing. I wonder how expensive courtyard houses are in this fictional world.

Speaking of Li Yuxuan's savings, it has to be said that this guy is quite skilled in mechanical repair. He can put together several broken watches and make them about 80% new, and he can also assemble and repair broken radios. The majority of his savings come from his work with these kinds of things.

The couple spent 30,000 yuan to buy two courtyard houses, each with two courtyards. They chose the one closer to the school and settled down there. The three children lived with the mother-in-law. After getting familiar with the surroundings, Yunxia found a local aunt to help take care of the children; the system had even selected the best candidate for her.

Yunxia then asked, somewhat humiliatingly, "Were you the top choice when you scanned me?" The system honestly replied that if there had been a second soul, it wouldn't have chosen her. So she unilaterally severed ties with the system.

Li Yuxuan also studied mechanical engineering in college. Since Yunxia knew nothing about it, she just encouraged him, saying, "Yuxuan, your major sounds amazing. You're so smart, you'll definitely become a leader in this field." He then devoted himself to his studies and family every day with great enthusiasm.

There's no way around it, she's just a complimenter. Li Yuxuan is just that good at being praised. The first time he was praised, he would blush, but later he got thicker-skinned and became more and more energetic with each compliment. There's no way around it, he's just that outstanding, and his wife loves him to no end.

Later, Yunxia, ​​who was hopelessly in love with him, kicked him off the bed. He complained, "My wife doesn't love me anymore," but Yunxia, ​​with a heart of stone, nodded and said she couldn't love him anymore, she was tired.

Actually, Yunxia had a lot of ginseng, but since she was unfamiliar with the area, she planned to disguise herself and sell it to her professor of traditional Chinese medicine. Hehe, she's really clever. She'll save up and buy three more sets.

Time flies, and Yunxia has already graduated from university. However, she plans to continue her studies and start her postgraduate journey. She feels that she hasn't learned enough, that she lacks natural talent, and that she can only make up for it with diligence and time.

Her grades were no match for those talented students from Peking University; she was only able to get in because she was an early bird.

Fortunately, her memory is much better than in her previous life. She had basically forgotten everything she learned from a third-rate university in her previous life during the years she worked, so it was naturally much faster for her to pick up that knowledge again in this life.

Medicine was a field she had never been exposed to before. Starting from the same point, she seemed much more ordinary. Her grades in her major were only average, but her academic performance was quite outstanding. Memories of her school days from her previous life would occasionally haunt her.

During their university years, the two of them would go to the south to buy goods every summer and winter vacation. Yunxia would resell clothes, while Li Yuxuan would resell watches and radios.

To this end, the couple specifically bought two street-front shops with courtyards. Li Yuxuan brought two friends from his hometown to manage the shops, paying them a base salary plus sales commission each month. They could earn over one hundred to two hundred yuan a month, several times the salary back home at that time. The couple was extremely satisfied with the job and worked very hard. Li Yuxuan also posted advertisements to hire several reliable and hardworking people as ordinary employees to assist them.

The two shops, one selling clothes and the other watches and radios, were deliberately chosen to be across from each other, as the owner of the adjacent shop only rented out the properties. Yunxia even sold all her ginseng to raise the money to buy the shops.

Sigh! Next time I go back to my hometown, I have to go up the mountain again. I'm not short of money now that I've opened the shop, but I'm short of ginseng, the kind that can save my life.

After they became wealthy, she and Li Yuxuan bought three more two-courtyard houses and one three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). The three-courtyard house, in particular, was renovated, and its rockery, pavilions, carved beams and painted rafters perfectly matched Yunxia's aesthetic tastes.

The children have started school, chattering away every day; so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. They have houses now—each child gets a two-courtyard house, and one for each set of parents. The three-courtyard house is for the couple themselves. If the children aren't satisfied, they can buy their own.

After graduating from university, Yunxia bought a large piece of wasteland in a village near Kyoto during the two years that the policy on pursuing postgraduate studies had been relaxed.

Although Li Yuxuan didn't understand, he was very supportive. He wouldn't object if his wife bought junk, as long as she was willing. Of course, Li Yuxuan believed his wife must have her reasons for doing so.

When Yunxia asked for his opinion, he said, "My Xiaxia is never one to make decisions without a reason. Even if you buy it just to play with, as long as Xiaxia is happy, it's up to you. If you don't have enough money, I'll try my best to earn more."

Yunxia felt a warmth in her heart and deliberately asked, "Why not just say you don't have enough money, and I'll give it to you? You wave your hand and give me a lot of money, and then I'm so touched that we pour out our hearts to each other, isn't that how it's always written in storybooks?" After saying that, she looked at Li Yuxuan teasingly.

The tall Li Yuxuan, who was over 1.8 meters tall, suddenly became a little short of breath and muttered, "All the money in the house is with you, Xiaxia. I have less than 50 yuan of my own money."

Yun Xia raised an eyebrow, gave her a sharp look, and said teasingly, "What, you think your secret stash of money is too little? Feeling wronged?"

Li Yuxuan immediately pounced on Yun Xia like a hungry tiger, carrying her straight to the bedroom, saying as he went, "Wife, you're so cute. I don't want my secret stash of money anymore, it's all yours, everything I have is yours."

Li Yuxuan: "Xiaxia, I'm going to give you all the savings I've accumulated over the past few days. You'd better catch them all."

Yun Xia: "..." Yun Xia's face turned the third color on the seven-color chart. She cursed Li Yuxuan in her heart for being a heartless old rogue and a lecherous old man.

Amidst the creaking sounds from inside the house, Yun Xia's back and legs ached from collecting her private stash. Li Yuxuan, on the other hand, handed over his money willingly and with complete satisfaction.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Li Yuxuan made handing over his secret stash of money a daily must. Yun Xia was already used to it. The thirty-year-old man had the vigor of a young man and the charm of a mature man. Who said only women could be charming? Her old man was very alluring.

The female lead and the male lead have now started a company. Just like in the original book, she studied economics and started accumulating wealth while in college. After the market economy opened up, she was among the first to start a company and become rich.

The male lead owns a real estate company and will become a real estate tycoon—tsk tsk tsk, a total domineering CEO. Back in her teenage years, Yun Xia, like other girls, fantasized about a domineering CEO falling in love with her, the ugly duckling. This male lead is definitely the protagonist of a fairytale romance for a lovesick girl.

With Li Yuxuan as her ideal partner, Yunxia no longer views handsome young men through rose-tinted glasses. After all, she's gotten used to rich and delicious food, and simple dishes and porridge hold no appeal for her. "I'm definitely a mature, ordinary woman now, and I no longer crave things that don't belong to me," Yunxia thought to herself.

Compared to the future richest man and woman, Li Yuxuan and Yun Xia are like ants and elephants. They are just an ordinary handsome man and beautiful woman.

Later, Yunxia found a reliable construction company and built her first building on the rural wasteland she bought. This is where her dream of becoming a landlady began.

Clothing and home appliance stores might decline as the market becomes saturated, but the money she earned during the most prosperous years of her business allowed her to buy a piece of barren land near Kyoto. With enough savings from her shops, she built her second and final building within her means. Her rental income business flourished relentlessly, rain or shine.

As the children grew up and started their own families, Yunxia and Li Yuxuan accompanied each other over the years, while also shining brightly in their respective fields.

One day, she suddenly remembered that her Jade Bead Space was not yet bound, so she quickly spent 100 points to have the system bind her soul.

It's actually a plantation space that the body can enter, totaling 500 square meters, with the thatched-roof yard being about 100 square meters. Unexpectedly large! I remember the female lead's initial space in the storyline was 1500 square meters. I wonder if this 500 square meters of Yuzhu's space was a special addition by Heaven to make it a round number, and also a way to give it to the female lead through the male lead to strengthen their relationship. Heaven really knows how to play games. It's a pity she managed to snatch a tiny bit.

After Yunxia bound herself to the space, she collected seeds of various grains, vegetables, and fruits. She also specially selected seedlings of several fruits that she liked to eat, and bought harvesting tools and a hulling and grinding machine. She was extremely busy.

Entering the 20th century, Yunxia began stockpiling daily necessities. She stockpiled plenty of oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and had accumulated enough toilet paper and sanitary napkins to last her entire life. She also stockpiled several large boxes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and shower gel.

I bought several hundred sets of high-end skincare products; even if I don't use them, I can give them as gifts.

She keeps a box of every kind of medicine she can think of: cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, fever reducers, painkillers, alcohol and medicine for treating external injuries, etc.

Just in case, Yunxia also prepared some vacuum-packed cooked food and small bread, instant noodles, hard-boiled eggs, braised beef, etc. Yunxia specially placed the medicine and food in the thatched yard. Yunxia had tested it and found that the 100 square meters where the thatched house was located was a static space. What you go in is what you come out.

Thinking about the backwardness of ancient times, Yunxia went through the essential skills for a time-traveling woman again, making backups of cement, glass, soap, a simple spinning machine blueprint, a basic explosive formula (Yunxia wouldn't use these actively; if a time-traveling female lead blew her up, she could retaliate), and a method for purifying salt. She then put them in a box.

I bought two hundred sets of exquisite glass teaware, each with a different style and pattern, and some sparkly hair clips and headwear with rhinestones.

Yunxia even spent 50 points to buy a small villa for her space. She can then take a bath, change clothes, and cook special meals for herself there.

The system said, "This is a high-tech product. Just place the energy plate on it and the hut's power and water supply systems will start."
