Xiao Nan asked for two packs of needles and a dozen tubes of sewing thread.

Do you have a bronze mirror?

The shop assistant was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, it's kept in the cabinet in the back. If you want it, I'll go get it. It's three taels of silver. Do you want it?"

"Stop nagging. If I don't want it, why would I be asking you?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go get it right away."

The commotion alerted the innkeeper who was resting in the back. He came out and smiled at Xiao Nan when he saw her.

"Young man, what would you like to buy?"

"The guy went to the back to get it."

"Oh"

So the shopkeeper walked over and sat down on the recliner next to him. When Xiao Nan saw the recliner, his eyes lit up and he immediately pointed.

"How much is this one you're sitting on?"

"I don't have this at home. You can buy it at a carpenter's shop, but I don't know if they still have it now."

"Thank you."

After buying the bronze mirror with three silver coins, Xiao Nan bought ten flowerpots and finally went to the carpenter's shop.

The shopkeeper watched her retreating figure and muttered to himself.

"Look at how thin she is, she doesn't look like a man at all."

The waiter didn't notice. He said, "Some of the kids from poor families are fat, they're all like that."

The shopkeeper shook his head; he didn't think the waiter's words made sense.

In the afternoon, Xiao Nan returned home early. Her grandmother shook her head helplessly as she saw that Xiao Nan had bought a lot of things again.

As she placed the deck chair in the shade, the old woman asked, "What's this?"

"A recliner is a chair that you can lie down in. You can sit down and try it out. You can stand up or recline."

She demonstrated for the old woman, and when Wang Po tried lying down, she was as happy as a child, praising her incessantly.

"This chair is great, it's cool and comfortable. We can sleep in the shade from now on."

"Yes, the room is stuffy."

Xiao Nan smiled and took out a needle and thread and a bronze mirror from the basket and handed them to her.

"This is for you."

Seeing the needle and thread, the old woman said happily, "It just so happens that we don't have much thread left. You're so thoughtful."

"I see the needle is rusty too."

"So you understand me perfectly, don't you?"

The old woman held the mirror in her hand and was stunned when she saw herself in it.

The old woman pointed to herself in the mirror: "This is me. I'm so clear, even clearer than when I see myself in the water."

Xiao Nan's true feelings: I haven't shown you the real mirror yet.

"Then take a closer look, I'll go cook."

"The food is ready. I've cooked some mung bean porridge. You can just prepare some vegetables."

Xiao Nan watched as she stared intently at the mirror, moved the flowerpot to the wall, and went into the kitchen with a smile.

I made over ten thousand taels of silver today. Although I'm not short of money, the silver I earned still came from here, so I'm very happy.

She prepared four cold dishes and also took out a small jar of low-alcohol liquor.

The two sat in the courtyard, and the old woman looked at the vegetables and asked her, "Did you make money today?"

"yes,"

“I went to the pharmacy to buy tonics and happened to see someone injured. I know how to treat external injuries, so I helped them save the person. Afterwards, the shopkeeper gave me two taels of silver as a reward and also gave me the medicine.”

"Wow, that's really little."

"So, the money is all gone, haha. Come on, Grandma, let's drink this jar of wine and have a good night's sleep."

"Okay, Grandma will drink with you!"

An old man and a young man were eating and drinking when two small dogs ran to the gate and started barking.

In just a few days, they've already learned to protect their home.

But there was no sound at the gate, which meant someone was peeping or eavesdropping. Xiao Nan frowned, picked up the water he had just used to wash vegetables, quietly walked to the door, and splashed it hard. He heard hurried footsteps outside.

Then, Longlong flew out of her body.

Xiao Nan calmly sat down opposite the old woman: "Come on, let's drink!"

The old woman took a sip of her drink and said, "Someone is jealous of us widows and lonely people, so they're eavesdropping outside the door, aren't they?"

"Yes, otherwise Juanjuan and Fengfeng wouldn't have called out."

"Ugh."

“Just ignore them. Let’s close the door and live our lives. Once I’ve saved up some money, I’ll buy a donkey and take you to the market at the end of the year.”

"No, it's too conspicuous; we can't defend it."

"It's a donkey, not a cow, and not a horse, so what are they envious of?"

"Sigh, only the village chief's family in the whole village has a cow. If we want to buy a donkey, they'll definitely try to take advantage of us."

"I'm here, I'll take care of it."

"How can a young woman like you handle so many people?"

“I dare to fight them to the death, but they don’t. Don’t worry, come on, don’t just drink, eat some food.”

After dinner, the two lay on the recliners, rubbing their bellies contentedly. They felt a little dizzy, but also incredibly good.

The stars and moon climbed into the sky, illuminating the earth. It's so hot! I really want to eat some watermelon.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan got up and walked to the basket, bent down and took out a small watermelon, cut it in the kitchen, put it in a bowl and came to the old lady: "I forgot, I also bought a watermelon, here, eat!"

The old woman reached out and picked up a piece; it was icy cold to the touch. She knew the girl had lied again.

Where can you buy watermelons this cold? I wonder where she got them from.

However, this watermelon is really sweet and juicy. It made me feel much cooler after eating it. I haven't had watermelon in a long time. This girl has become more and more capable since leaving the Zhang family. She can even get her hands on watermelons that rich people eat. I'm really lucky to be with her.

During the rainy season, there were many mosquitoes in the yard. After the two finished eating the melon, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Nan lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), glancing sideways at the doghouse. The two little guys were sleeping soundly, sprawled out, occasionally opening one eye to peek at her.

Xiao Nan burst out laughing, and a moment later, Longlong returned.

“Reporting to Master, those were just some villagers who wanted to see what you usually do at home. They were just curious and had no intention of harming you.”

"Okay, then forget it. Just try not to burn other people's houses or hair in the future."

"What are you afraid of?"

"If we're afraid of attracting the wrong people, we can forget about having a peaceful life."

"Ok!"

The next day, because they had been drinking, they woke up late and burst into laughter when they met.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.

Xiao Nan went elsewhere, carried back several loads of soil, took out a bag of organic fertilizer from his spatial storage, mixed it with the soil, and filled ten flowerpots.

Then, he selected several kinds of seeds from the space and planted two pots of cucumbers, two pots of small tomatoes, two pots of cilantro, two pots of celery, and two pots of chili seeds.

Including the vegetables in the backyard and the wasteland, there are eleven kinds.

She even set up a shelf in the front yard specifically to display these ten pots of vegetables. If she had transmigrated earlier, she would have filled the entire yard with flowers and plants.

Ideally, flower seeds should also be dried on the roof, so that the entire rooftop would be covered in blooms—that sounds wonderful!

Next spring, I'll plant grapes on one side of the open space on the other side of the gate, and kiwifruit on the other. I'll also plant some vine-like vegetables along the back wall.

Xiao Nan was thinking about his future life, thinking that he could eat whatever he wanted.

Longlong appeared in a flash. After transforming into a human face, he pouted and said with a displeased expression:

"Master, Zhang Lao Er has hair now."

Xiao Nan glanced at it and asked, "Whose is it?"

"You're so clever. That hair belongs to Zhao. Haha, she cut some of her own hair and made a wig for Zhang Lao Er overnight. It looks very realistic."

"Oh, hair can't be cut easily here. Zhao is really good to him. I just wonder how he reacted when he heard that Zhang Lao Er was going to marry into the family?"

"You mean to let her know?"

"Yes, they see us as a thorn in their side, so how could I let them have an easy time?"

"Send another note?"

"You know how to transmit your voice, why waste a piece of paper? She's not worth it."

Longlong was unhappy: "But she doesn't deserve to hear my voice either."

"That's your problem. Just figure out a way to let her know."

"Oh, by the way, the Zhang family is building a new house, a brick one. I forgot to bring that hundred taels of silver the other day, what a pity."

"Let them be happy for a while. Once we've grown stronger, I'll make sure the Zhang family doesn't have it easy. We'll take them down one by one, but we'll do it discreetly and naturally."

“Master, your temperament has changed.”
