After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

The villagers love the exchange of gifts and are most afraid of receiving valuable gifts from others, only to find that they can't afford to reciprocate.

Jiang Zhiyun was both amused and exasperated, and then explained:

“I was thinking that if my mother-in-law goes out in the future, people might gossip about her. If you see her like that, please help her out. She has a soft nature and is easily bullied.”

"Of course! Leave it to me." Aunt Hong didn't like Zhang Meiqing either. "But no need for gifts. I may not be very educated, but I'm a loyal friend."

Yunniang is generous and pretty; in any case, Aunt Hong likes this kind of straightforward girl.

After Yunniang delivered the noodles that day, we had some contact. After a few days of contact, I found that not only was Yunniang nice, but Yunniang's mother-in-law, Zhang Meiqing, was also easy to get along with, although she was a bit nervous when speaking.

They're from the same village and have similar personalities; Aunt Hong is just that straightforward.

Yunniang's steamed buns were hot, and she brought over two more.

Only then did I go home and knead the dough.

Jiang Zhiyun was in charge of pulling and cutting the noodles, while Zhang took the drawings that Yunniang had made to the village to find a carpenter.

Originally, Jiang Zhiyun thought that if Zhang didn't like going out, she could go by herself. However, Zhang clenched her fists and insisted on exercising herself no matter what.

Yunniang thought it was a good thing, so she naturally agreed.

Jiang Zhiyun put dry flour on it and made it into dough to take to the market. As for the mushroom soup, it also needs to be cooked.

These mushrooms are extremely fresh, but all mushrooms contain some degree of toxicity, so they must be cut and blanched in hot water before being added to a pot of oil and water to cook the noodle soup.

After she put the mushrooms into the boiling water, Yang Ge'er stood by and huffed and puffed as he helped throw firewood into the fire.

"Auntie~ It smells so good." She said, drooling from the corner of her mouth.

These past two days, the little guy has liked to prop his face up with his hands while waiting for food. Yunniang grabbed the back of her clothes and pulled the little guy over: "Yang-ge'er, you can't eat this. It's poisonous. It has to be cooked before you can eat it."

"Wait until it's ready, then your aunt will serve you the first bowl."

Everyone says Xie Yang is a fool, but Yun Niang thinks he's just a late learner and slow to react. She thinks he'll be fine as he grows up. Besides, he can understand all the道理 (principles/reasons) she tells him.

Xie Yang nodded, smiling at Yun Niang. He didn't bother her any longer and went to play with the ducklings.

Yunniang thought the courtyard was quite large, and that she could actually cultivate a vegetable garden there. She could plant vegetables right in front of her house, and then pick whatever she wanted to eat, which would be more convenient, and watering the vegetables would be easier.

As for these ducklings, as the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring." Yunniang thought that since she didn't have any land at home and didn't care whether others were clearing land in the wild, she could naturally make a rice paddy. She could raise fish in the rice paddy and let the ducks swim around when they had time. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Yunniang still remembers the water source she created in her past life.

Once this business is set up, we'll start preparing for farming.

For the time being, Xie Shuheng's sickly condition hasn't improved, and since no one in the family knows how to plow the land, there's no way to clear the wasteland, which is a problem.

As Yunniang was thinking, she heard Xie Shuheng cough, and then when she went in, she saw him get up.

Jiang Zhiyun quickly went over to support him: "Why are you showing off? You should rest and recover properly before getting up again."

"She didn't drink the medicine either." Jiang Zhiyun frowned, somewhat annoyed. She had spent a lot of money to buy it, and she couldn't let it go to waste if she didn't take it!

Xie Shuheng was in a daze and numb a few days ago.

He's feeling better today, and he can feel that the medicine has been making him nauseous, and it hasn't helped at all. Now he's thinking of stopping the medicine; he's healthy and won't die.

But now that Jiang Zhiyun was staring at him, he felt a lot more guilty.

So, under Jiang Zhiyun's watchful eye, he picked it up and swallowed it spoonful by spoonful.

Yunniang looked at him and found it amusing. Such a tall, strong, and handsome man, yet he was afraid of hardship?

As usual, after he finished eating, I gave him a piece of orange peel; its sourness helped to relieve the bitterness.

Just then, Zhang returned from outside, even pushing a cart that the carpenter had made. Yunniang had someone make a wheelbarrow for it, but it was a bit pricey, costing half a tael of silver!

But thinking that it was something she would use to make a living in the future, Zhang gritted her teeth and paid the money.

She was covered in sweat when she pushed the cart back, but the aroma of mushrooms coming from the kitchen made her walk right in. The smell was so enticing; the mushroom soup was still simmering, and she figured it was fine. She ladled herself a bowl, drinking it down as if to quench her thirst and have a taste of the fresh mushrooms.

After drinking it, I felt something was wrong when I went outside; I felt dizzy.

When Yunniang helped Xie Shuheng out to bask in the sun, Zhang slapped herself incredulously: "No, how come there are five, six, seven, eight... people!"

"How come I can still see him? I can see my old man."

"Waaah... Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva... Why are there so many people? Where are you taking me?"

Xie Shuheng frowned, his eyes filled with confusion: "Is my mother possessed?"

When Jiang Zhiyun saw these symptoms, she realized that he was acting crazy and even hallucinating. He even came out of the kitchen with a little bit of mushroom crumbs on the corner of his mouth.

He said, "The mushroom soup wasn't cooked before Mother ate it! That's why she's hallucinating now."

Xie Shuheng said, "Then I'll go knock her out."

He was about to make a move when Yunniang realized he was a martial artist, and even seemed to be quite skilled.

But if I faint now, wouldn't the poison still be there?

She grabbed Xie Shuheng: "Wait, don't move. It might be too late to call a doctor now."

"Mother, please sit down."

To everyone's surprise, Zhang knelt down and began to cry to Jiang Zhiyun: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva who grants children, when will you grant my son and daughter-in-law a child? Boy or girl, I love them both."

"My son is dying, we must leave him an heir!"

Jiang Zhiyun: "..." Suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Her mother-in-law was asking for a child for her, but now she was the one asking for it?

This is the first time such a thing has ever happened in the world.

Yunniang didn't respond to her. Instead, she took out the pickled vegetables she had bought the day before. She had originally planned to stir-fry the pickled vegetables with meat strips, but now she rinsed the pickled vegetables with hot water and brought them over for Zhang to drink.

This is a traditional remedy; drinking it will cause acid reflux.

Before the dish could even be placed next to Zhang, she grabbed Xie Shuheng and cried out, "Son!"

Jiang Zhiyun was surprised: As expected of mother and son, even though they were hallucinating, they still recognized each other!

While they were still moved by the affection between mother and son, Zhang continued, "My son, I have never dared to say this. You have never mentioned the matter of sleeping together for so long. It must be because you are not good enough. It has been spread throughout the village."

Xie Shuheng's face darkened: "..."

"I'm concerned about your reputation. If you really can't have children in the future, don't blame me. Just look for the reasons within yourself."

Xie Shuheng was utterly speechless: "..."

If this weren't his biological mother, I really don't know if he would have killed her with a single blow.
