Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil
Chapter 48 Who knows you poor scum?
"How could that be? In an ordinary family, marrying into the wife's family might be laughed at, but marrying into a rich family is something to be envied."
Zhang Dashan nodded, grinned, and deliberately picked up the white jade pipe, showing off by putting on some tobacco, lighting it, and smoking it.
The village chief saw this and was extremely envious.
"Did your daughter-in-law buy this for you?"
"Of course, my family can't afford this kind of thing."
Madam Qian also extended her wrist: "Look at this jade bracelet, it's of such good quality. It was also bought for me by my second son's wife."
"That's really something, they're a wealthy family after all, they're so generous."
Madam Qian scoffed, "Her family is more than just rich. I heard that they are related to the Qiao family in the county town by marriage, and they can even talk to high-ranking officials in the capital."
The village chief was startled, thinking to himself, "The Zhang family has really hit the jackpot, managing to climb up to such a wealthy family."
He quickly bowed to Zhang Dashan and said, "If Erzi becomes successful in the future, please take care of our Ping'an Village."
Zhang Dashan smiled smugly: "Of course, he grew up in the village."
Honestly, what kind of concern do you have? If my son ever amounted to anything, our whole family would leave this godforsaken place. Who would even know you poor wretches?
Although she complained inwardly, she still asked Qian and Zhao to prepare two dishes, and the two of them had some drinks at noon.
Xiao Nan was alone. She didn't cook lunch. She leaned against the quilt, eating an apple and leisurely reading a book.
Juanjuan and Fengfeng have grown taller; their heads are now up to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
Longlong, like a gossipy old woman, recounted the events that had happened in the Zhang family to Xiao Nan.
"Master, you said the Fang family knows about this, but they wouldn't have Fang Shi watching him so closely, would they?"
"Well, we can't keep an eye on them just by looking. If that's the case, we've overestimated them. That kid might actually get away with it later."
"Master, you must work hard after the New Year. I can only wander around here. If the space is upgraded, I can go to town to wander around."
"Wouldn't that make you even wilder?"
"Master, I can help you collect ill-gotten gains."
"No need. The contents inside are enough for us to live on for several lifetimes. Acquiring ill-gotten gains also depends on fate. Taking everything you see will only bring unnecessary trouble upon yourself."
"understood."
"Behave yourself. I, your master, neither cause trouble nor fear it."
"OK."
Before we knew it, it was mid-October, and the crops in the fields had been harvested. Since no crops are planted here in winter, no one had plowed the fields. They would only tend to the land when spring came and the flowers bloomed.
Grandma no longer goes to help at the Jiang family's house. She stays home every day to clean the yard and cook breakfast and dinner. Her health is getting better and better every day.
Meng Fei also returned home from outside, bringing back a document and a stack of silver notes.
He handed the two items to Xiao Nan: "Wife, from now on, at the end of each year, someone will bring money to our house. Just wait to receive the money."
Xiao Nan's eyes flickered, but she didn't ask any more questions. She took the documents and banknotes and locked them in the cabinet.
Seeing Meng Feifei's simple and unassuming appearance, a thought struck him, and he said softly:
"My husband, you must be hungry after all this work. What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Meng Fei looked intently at Xiao Nan: "Everything my wife cooks is delicious, and I love to eat it all."
Xiao Nan gave him a flirtatious wink: "Let's have dumplings then, today's filling is chives."
"it is good!"
Xiao Nan turned and went to the kitchen. Meng Fei watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.
He took the recipe to his friend, the royal merchant Murong Yunpeng. When he saw the recipe, he didn't think much of it at first, but when he saw Meng Fei's serious expression, he immediately sent his confidant to purchase the ingredients and mix them according to the proportions.
Finally, he took it to his own restaurant and asked the chef to add it to the dishes.
The taste that emerged shocked him, and he realized the value of the recipe. He immediately signed a contract with Meng Fei and gave Meng Fei 10,000 taels of silver as a thank you gift.
Meng Fei, however, never revealed anything about Xiao Nan to the other party.
But where did my wife get such a precious recipe? There has never been anything like it in the Dragon Kingdom before.
Moreover, those ingredients are only available in pharmacies.
I never expected that adding it to stir-fries would make them so delicious. I wonder if my wife has any similar recipes.
In the kitchen, the old lady helped her wash vegetables, while Xiao Nan fried eggs and cooked vermicelli.
We're not eating meat today, we're having a three-delicacy filling.
Chives, eggs, dried shrimp, vermicelli, and fresh shrimp in the room—she didn't use them. Dried shrimp is a good explanation; it's something you can easily catch and dry in the river in the summer, and it won't arouse suspicion.
In no time, the filling was ready. The old woman smelled it and exclaimed:
"It smells so good! I didn't expect vegetarian fillings to smell so good."
Xiao Nan curled his lips: "There are seasonings inside, as well as soy sauce for braising and lard. If it's not fragrant, everything else will smell bad."
"Haha, that makes sense, that makes sense."
"You take care of the dough, I'll wrap it up, and we'll be able to eat it in no time."
Meng Fei washed up, changed his clothes, and came in: "I'll finish the leather, you two wrap it."
"it is good!"
Just as the three of them were busy in the kitchen, the gate to the courtyard opened. The old woman wiped her hands and went to open the door, and Jiang grinned at her.
She handed a cloth bag to the old woman: "Sister Wang, my husband got some food outside. Let your family try it. I'm leaving now."
Watching Jiang's retreating figure, the old woman opened her mouth and then smiled.
She closed the door, took the cloth bag to the kitchen, put the bag against the wall, washed her hands, and continued wrapping.
Xiao Nan glanced at the cloth bag and asked, "What's that?"
"I haven't checked yet. I'll check after I finish wrapping it. They say it's for eating."
"Is this a reward for your help at her house?"
"She's being too kind."
"After you've finished making the dumplings, take a big bowl to her as a gesture of goodwill."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, girl."
The old woman was deeply moved; the girl understood her heart perfectly and had touched her soul.
After making the dumplings, Meng Fei started the fire, Xiao Nan cooked them, and the old lady opened the cloth bag, which turned out to be full of dates, fresh ones, some green and some red.
The old woman grinned, poured the dates into a basin, rinsed them with water, and carefully picked out the ones with wormholes before presenting them to Xiao Nan.
"Come on, have a taste. This is called Lingzao, and it's very sweet."
Xiao Nan picked up a completely red jujube, took a small bite, and said, "Hmm, not bad, very sweet and crisp. Do we have jujube trees around here?"
The old woman picked up a jujube and put it in Meng Fei's mouth, then ate one herself. She said, "There are some kinds. Some trees were transplanted from the mountains, and some are jujube trees."
Are there any fruit farmers around here?
"Fruit farmer?"
"Yes, they're the family that specializes in growing fruit trees?"
The old woman shook her head: "There should be some to the south, but it's cold here. Besides, these days, we can't even get enough to eat, so why would we grow fruit trees?"
Xiao Nan raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, she thought of something and immediately communicated with Longlong telepathically.
"Longlong?"
"Master, I'm here!"
"Is it okay to plant fruit trees in the field?"
"all right?"
"Then how do we calculate it?"
"What? How do you calculate it?"
"For example, from planting to fruiting is one cycle, but what about after fruiting? It goes dormant in winter, wakes up in spring, grows leaves again, blooms again, and bears fruit again. Doesn't that count as another cycle?"
Longlong thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Logically speaking, yes, but if you buy land and plant fruit trees all over it, wouldn't that be a one-time benefit? Even if I agree, the space won't allow it, right?"
"Never mind, after the New Year, I'll buy a few acres of land and try it out."
Longlong pouted: "Even if it is, the space won't let you get something for nothing. It might limit you, starting with one year, then three, five, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty years, and so on, increasing the number of years."
Xiao Nan's face darkened. If that were the case, using fruit trees to achieve spatial advancement would take forever.
