Divorce her scumbag husband, marry the war king, and the hot wife gets rich through her spatial abil

Before going to bed, he also put a pot of hot water in the old lady's room.

It was late at night, and the wind was howling outside. Meng Fei was sleeping by the window. He opened his eyes and touched the transparent paper with his hand.

Honestly, this thing is amazing. It blocks the wind, the cold, and the rain. It's much better than white paper.

If the Dragon Kingdom could be popularized, then the people would suffer less.

After thinking it over, he lightly slapped his own face. He had promised himself to be an ordinary farmer, so why was he involuntarily worrying about these things again?

He sighed inwardly, turned to look at Xiao Nan. His wife was sleeping soundly. In the dim light, her fair face glowed with a soft light. He wondered what his grandfather would think when he found out he had become a live-in son-in-law.

The Meng family has protected the Dragon Kingdom for generations. They are hereditary kings of different surnames in the Dragon Kingdom. No matter how many kings come and go, the Meng family's status will not change.

It's a pity that this title might come to an end when it falls into his hands.

He did not approve of his grandfather's blind loyalty. The Meng family was not protecting the emperor, but protecting the millions of ordinary people in the world.

As for his grandfather, he considered him the king to be his protector, and Meng Fei would never be anyone's slave.

He is him, and I am me. As Meng Fei thought about this, his eyes reddened. This generation of kings had disappointed him too much.

He would rather spend his life toiling away in this small mountain village than return there heartbroken.

Just then, a few birds chirped outside. Meng Fei's eyes sharpened. He quietly got off the kang (a heated brick bed), dressed, and tiptoed out, closing the door behind him.

Xiao Nan opened his eyes and instructed, "Longlong, go check on him and protect him while you're at it."

"Oh."

When Longlong flew out, he saw Meng Fei standing in the backyard with his hands behind his back and a man in black kneeling in front of him.

"My lord, the soldiers at the border have heard that you are no longer alive, and many of them have retired and returned to their hometowns to farm."

"Yes, such a king does not deserve such good soldiers. Let them go."

"You...you don't feel sorry for me?"

"What's the use of feeling sorry for them? If this continues, they'll be killed by their superiors sooner or later. It's better for them to go back to their hometowns early, stay with their wives and children in the warm winter, and not suffer in the dead of winter."

"Your Highness, he doesn't believe you've passed away and is sending people everywhere to look for you."

"Hmph, as long as you don't tell, they won't be able to find this place."

"The few of us didn't return to Beijing; we're staying around you."

"Stay here and starve?"

"We can hold on for a while longer."

“After the New Year, as soon as spring arrives, my wife is looking for long-term workers. You can come and work here.”

"Yes!" the man in black replied happily.

He reached into his pocket and took out a silver note: "Take this and settle the brothers in."

"Yes, Your Highness, you still care about us."

"Go away, go away, don't come looking for me for no reason."

"Then I'll be leaving."

The man in black vanished in a flash, and Meng Fei reverted to his rough-looking self, tiptoeing back into the house.

Seeing Xiao Nanyi, he finally felt relieved.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nan was thinking to himself, "Damn, he's actually a border general, and a pretty high-ranking one at that. He must have a lot of influence over the soldiers."

"Master, his status must be very noble. What if he leaves us then?"

“Go away, I don’t care about these things. Even if I leave, I’ll take a few seeds with me. I need to raise my child and become his mother-in-law. It doesn’t matter whether he’s there or not.”

"Tch, what a hypocrite. I was touched before, and I even said he was a good person."

“I’m not a bitter woman. He’s good to me, and I’m good to him. If he wants to leave, I can keep him physically, but I can’t keep his heart. I’m not going to do anything like that.

"The master has picked up a general; his luck is off the charts."

"Whatever, let's go to sleep."

The next day, Meng Fei left after breakfast, and Xiao Nan quietly went about his work.

The weather is getting colder. Although there is no frost or snow, it is so cold that you want to pull your hand back when you stretch it out.

Xiao Nan boiled three pots of water and asked his grandmother to dilute the water when washing dishes and clothes, so she wouldn't use cold water.

She lit a charcoal brazier for the four-tenths of an acre in the backyard and also lit a stove in the wasteland.

The greenhouse was warm, and the sweet potatoes and vegetables were growing well, just as she had expected.

Four kinds of vegetables—cucumber, tomato, green beans, and chives—have already filled a large bunch. By the end of the year, we can enjoy fresh vegetables.

She is quite at peace now, no longer expecting advancement in her career. She is content to stay quietly in this small mountain village.

Fresh air, azure skies, and distinct seasons—it's infinitely better than the apocalypse.

That saying goes, "Without expectation, there is no harm."

In the morning, Jiang came to visit. She and her grandmother were inside the house, doing needlework at the kang table.

"Sister Wang, your daughter is such a good cook. The dumplings you brought over the other day were delicious."

"I'll send you some when I pack more."

"That won't do. If you get used to that food, you won't be able to eat it at home anymore."

“My daughter said that once the ice is frozen, she will start making dumplings and put them in the storage room, so that she can cook them whenever she wants to eat them without having to prepare the filling and make them herself.”

"That saves a lot of trouble."

"That's right. These dumplings can be eaten directly from the water or with some vegetables added, and they can even be used as soup."

Jiang quietly asked the old woman, "Could you teach me?"

The old woman was taken aback, and immediately said, "You'll have to ask my girl about this."

Jiang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Then ask the girl if the dumpling recipe is for sale?"

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang said shyly, "I think these dumplings taste good, and I'm thinking of renting a shop in town with my husband to make them. Is that okay?"

"It should work. I don't know much about these things. Xiaofei said the thugs in town are hard to deal with."

"It's fine. My husband knows their boss. He just treats him to a meal once a month."

"Let me ask the girl first. These are her things, so I can't make a decision. When do you want to rent the shop?"

"Winter is coming, and I'm not idle, so I'm thinking of renting it out and starting to work now."

Just then, Xiao Nan picked a handful of sweet potato leaves and came into the house, intending to tell his grandmother that they would be stir-fried for lunch.

Upon seeing Jiang, she greeted her politely, "Aunt Jiang, you're here?"

"Yes, yes, come, sit here, what's this?"

"The vegetables I grow in my backyard."

"I've never seen a dish like this before."

"You can stir-fry it, or blanch it and make a cold dish."

"You're so clever and quirky; the things you bring out are things that none of us villagers have ever seen before."

"Hehe," Xiao Nan didn't want to talk to her anymore and planned to find an excuse to leave.

Jiang stopped her and said, "Miss Xiao, your dumplings are really delicious. Could you teach me how to make the filling and wrap dumplings? I want to sell dumplings in town. Don't worry, just name your price, and I'd like to buy your recipe."

Xiao Nan glanced at the old woman, who lowered her head, looking somewhat guilty.

"Don't worry about buying or not, Grandma, you can teach Aunt Jiang. You know how to do it too."

"Huh? You agree to teach your Aunt Jiang?"

"Yes, it's not difficult at all. You know how to make meat filling and vegetarian filling, so just teach me according to that method."

"But there are some things that only you have."

"It tastes just as good even without it."

"Then I'll teach you?"

"Yes, but there's one seasoning in it that's very expensive and you can't buy it. If you want to use it, it costs one tael of silver per jar. I bought it and mixed it myself, so Aunt Jiang has to pay for it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang felt relieved and quickly said, "I'll pay, I'll pay."

"Yes, I have some in my kitchen cabinet. Grandma, after you've received the money, just give Aunt Jiang a jar. You two chat, I'm going back to my room."

"Okay, okay, you're busy, you're busy."

As soon as Xiao Nan left, Madam Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Xiao Nan, she felt immense pressure, as if she were facing not an ordinary woman, but a noblewoman from a powerful family.

The old woman patted her, and Jiang came back to her senses.

When do you plan to start learning?

"I'll go back and get you the money right away. I have meat at home, but what about the vegetables?"

"Cabbage or radish will do. Right now, I can only teach you how to wrap meat. You'll have to wait until next year to learn how to wrap vegetarian ones."

"Then let's learn how to cook meat first. I'll be right back."
