Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

In short, the Liu family became famous in Xinghua Village.

Everyone was talking about the Liu family behind their backs.

Originally, everyone had become indifferent to the matter between the Liu and Fei families.

When Liu Minhua and Xu Manman met, everyone couldn't help but gossip again.

The intense gaze fixed on Liu Minhua, making her feel somewhat overwhelmed.

The woman who brought her frowned but said nothing.

She was Liu Minhua's cousin. Liu Minhua's family was well-off and didn't need to dig for wild vegetables at all. This time, she only brought her along after Liu Minhua begged her.

Unexpectedly, Liu Minhua came to dig for wild vegetables because she wanted to cause trouble for Xu Manman.

The aunt disagreed and didn't want others to laugh at her family, but since no one said anything, she didn't feel comfortable speaking up.

Xu Manman didn't care about the lawsuits between the group; she was busy digging for wild vegetables and smuggling them into her spatial dimension.

She also smuggled firewood while collecting it.

Without Liu Minhua watching over her, Xu Manman found a less conspicuous spot, which made it easier for her to get things done.

At noon, everyone took out their dry food, and Xu Manman pulled out a potato.

Aunt Lin gave Xu Manman a steamed bun made from two kinds of dough, but Xu Manman refused to accept it. Aunt Lin then forced it on her.

Feeling embarrassed, Xu Manman gave a small potato to Aunt Lin.

These are potatoes I boiled this morning. They were too small, so she took two.

Aunt Lin refused to accept it, but Xu Manman insisted, so Aunt Lin had no choice but to accept it.

"You're just being polite, it's just a steamed bun."

They were neighbors, and when Fei's parents were alive, they helped her a lot, and she remembers it all!

Now that Fei Huainan is in trouble, she will help him if she can.

Liu Minhua was disdainful when she saw this; it was just an act.

If you have any backbone, don't accept Aunt Lin's steamed buns!

In the afternoon, everyone continued working.

Just as Liu Minhua was about to cause trouble for Xu Manman, Xu Manman spoke first: "Comrade, where are you going? To prevent me from misunderstanding any further, I'll ask where you are first, so we don't bump into each other."

Liu Minhua looked embarrassed and annoyed, glaring at Xu Manman with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire: "Who wants to be with you?"

After saying that, he turned and went to the side.

Upon seeing this, Xu Manman went in the opposite direction.

When she came down the mountain, Xu Manman had a large bundle of firewood and a basket full of wild vegetables.

Liu Minhua's family was already wealthy, and she had three older brothers, so they were never short of food.

She doesn't need to dig for wild vegetables at all.

But with Xu Manman as a comparison, seeing Xu Manman carrying a large bundle of firewood and a basket of wild vegetables on her back...

She felt particularly uncomfortable because there wasn't even half a wild vegetable left in her basket, and she hadn't gathered any firewood at all.

Actually, she went up the mountain today to see the wife that Fei Huainan had married.

What happened afterward was beyond her control.

Liu Minhua went up the mountain triumphantly, wanting to embarrass Xu Manman.

In the end, Xu Manman wasn't embarrassed; instead, she was the one who got really angry.

Xu Manman didn't care about Liu Minhua's feelings at all; she was extremely happy right now.

Her basket was filled with wild vegetables, her hands were full of firewood, and even her ten-square-meter space was crammed full.

The wild vegetables can be picked once and eaten for several days, so Aunt Lin said she wouldn't go up the mountain tomorrow.

Then I chatted with a few of the aunties about their family's private plots of land.

July is the height of summer, and temperatures are high.

You can grow vegetables in your own plot of land, such as lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, celery, lettuce, eggplant, peppers, fennel, sweet potatoes, carrots, water spinach, broccoli, loofah, bitter melon, pumpkin, celery, winter melon, and green beans.

Xu Manman was incredibly envious. She knew nothing about farming and thought that it was impossible to plant anything this year.

If she could still grow vegetables, she would like to plant some to eat in the winter.

"Auntie, where can I buy the seeds?"

Aunt Lin was very generous: "I have some seeds here, come and pick some to take back."

“Vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, celery, and lettuce need to be seeded first. I have extra at home, so you can take some back with you.”

"If that's not enough, you can buy more at the market in three days."

Xu Manman kept Aunt Lin's words in mind. After parting ways with them, she turned and walked home.

Through the wooden stakes of the fence, Xu Manman saw Fei Huainan sitting on a stone in the yard, leaning against the wall, with his eyes closed, like a sleeping beauty in a crystal coffin.

The glow of the sunset fell upon him, adding a touch of tranquility to his appearance.

Xu Manman carefully pushed open the door and went inside. The moment she opened the door, her once serene eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a chilling aura.

When he saw that the person who came was Xu Manman, his eyes fell on Xu Manman's basket and firewood, and he gave a cold, mocking laugh.

"Did the sun rise in the west today? I can even see you bringing back wild vegetables."

Xu Manman was already quite tired after a busy day, and now, hearing Fei Huainan's sarcastic remarks, she was so angry that she wanted to hit him.

She thought Fei Huainan was cuter when he was asleep; he was just a waste of his mouth.

Exhausted after a long day, Xu Manman had no mood for arguing, and she angrily put her things down.

Then I heard a ding-dong sound.

"Congratulations to the lucky one! Quest progress +1. You have received a set of natural dyes, a set of each of the Four Treasures of the Study, plus five beauty and health pills made by the imperial physician."

Xu Manman was somewhat caught off guard by the sudden reward. She looked at Fei Huainan to make sure he was still on the rock.

Take out the Consciousness Nourishing Pill immediately.

With a thought, a beautiful white porcelain bottle appeared in her hand the next moment, with the words "Beauty Elixir" written on it.

This beauty-enhancing pill also comes with instructions.

According to the description, these were things that only the favored concubines in the imperial harem could afford.

Eating it can make your skin fair and elastic, and also improve your figure.

Xu Manman looked at the beauty pill, then at the writing set and paints, all because of Fei Huainan's jade pendant.

Forget it, why bother arguing with a patient?

Xu Manman quickly adjusted her mood, treating it as serving a customer.

Xu Manman smiled, revealing a perfect eight teeth, and only after confirming that her attitude was good enough did she leave the kitchen.

He patiently explained the science to Fei Huainan.

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Don't get it wrong next time."

"I picked a lot of wild vegetables today. How about we have steamed vegetables for dinner? They taste really good."

Fei Huainan was already prepared for Xu Manman to cause a huge scene.

Result, that's it? ? ?

The woman's smile was rather sinister; could she be planning to drug him?

Xu Manman didn't care what Fei Huainan was thinking. Since he hadn't refused, she took it as his consent.

There were two pounds of dark flour at home, which is a coarse grain that is highly regarded by people in later generations.

Xu Manman picked the wild vegetables, washed them clean, mixed them with flour, and steamed them in a pot.

After steaming, stir-fry it in oil with some garlic cloves; it smells incredibly delicious.

During the meal, Fei Huainan didn't dare touch his chopsticks, suspecting that the woman had indeed drugged the food.
