A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

As Nie Qianqian walked back to the old house from the village head's house, she saw a couple with a half-grown child craning their necks to look inside the old house.

The old house was in a remote location, and few people passed by. Nie Qianqian quickly walked up and asked, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing the sound, the two turned around, and two slightly surprised voices rang out simultaneously.

"uncle?"

"flourishing?"

The visitors were none other than Liu Xiong, Nie Qianqian's uncle, and Huang Zhenzhu, whom we had just mentioned at the village head's house.

Liu Xiong lived up to his name; he was truly like a bear, tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, much like Nie Erzhuang. Years of manual labor had given him muscular arms and legs, exuding power. He had a square face, dark skin, but bright eyes.

Huang Zhenzhu and Liu Xiong looked somewhat alike. Unlike Liu Yan and the original owner of this body, they didn't struggle to get enough to eat, so they were both quite robust. In her memory, her aunt was a straightforward person who was capable of managing the household and handling chores.

Liu Xiong looked anxious. "Qianqian, I've finally found you. I've heard about what happened between you and your mother."

Huang Zhenzhu continued, "When I heard about what happened to you and your mother back in the village, your uncle was so worried that he rushed here. Qianqian, where is your mother? What happened?"

Liu Xiong said fiercely, "What's going on? It's just a divorce. A divorce is the right thing to do. Nie Erzhuang is a piece of trash. We should have divorced him a long time ago."

Huang Zhenzhu murmured, unable to utter a rebuttal to her husband.

This man doesn't understand the difficulties women face. Life was hard in the Nie family, but will things be better after a divorce and moving out? Two women plus a disabled person—how are they going to manage? Liu Yan will have no man to rely on for the rest of her life; won't she be like a drifting duckweed?

Nie Qianqian was very happy to see her uncle and aunt, and said with a smile, "My mother is inside. Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing his niece's smile, Liu Xiong felt a little relieved. It seemed that Qianqian was in a good mood and hadn't been worn down by this incident.

Huang Zhenzhu was more perceptive than the rough men, and she looked at Nie Qianqian a few more times with a strange feeling. She felt that this niece was different from usual.

Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Yan put down her work and rushed out to greet the three people as they entered.

As soon as Liu Yan saw Liu Xiong, her eyes instantly reddened, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

So much has happened during this time: the grievances suffered in the Nie family, the panic of initially moving out of the Nie family, the anxiety of facing Nie Erzhuang in court, the joy of Qianqian bringing her life to get better and better, and all these emotions welled up in her heart when she saw Liu Xiong.

Even Liu Xiong, a rough and tough man, had tears in his eyes. "Yan'er, why are you crying? I've been advising you to leave the Nie family for a long time. Now that you've achieved your goal, you should be happy. Don't cry so easily."

Liu Yan lost her parents early, and she was still young at the time and couldn't do much. Liu Xiong felt sorry for her losing both parents at a young age, so he always protected her from everything, which made Liu Yan too weak-willed. This kind of personality will always cause her to suffer.

Liu Yan nodded vigorously, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Big brother is right, it's a good thing, a great thing."

As the group entered the house, Huang Zhenzhu immediately noticed the new table and chairs in the main room. Then, noticing Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian's attire, she became even more puzzled.

In the past, when I saw the two of them, they were always wearing tattered clothes full of patches. How come their clothes have changed so much since they moved out? And why are there new tables and chairs in the main room?

Liu Xiong was very familiar with the old house where he grew up. As soon as he entered the main room, he saw the same table and chairs. He suppressed his curiosity for the time being and said that business was more important.

He took out a money bag from his pocket, put it on the table, pointed at the money bag and said in a gruff voice, "Yan, here are 500 coins. You can use them first. In the next few days, Pearl and I will clean up the west room of the house. Once it's cleaned up, you can take Qianqian and her husband and Tuantuan and move in with us. I know the condition of the old house. It won't last through the winter."

On the way here, Liu Xiong had discussed this matter with Huang Zhenzhu. She didn't show it on her face, but she wasn't very happy inside. Their family's conditions weren't considered good in the village. Their house wasn't big, and it was just enough for the two of them and their two sons. If Liu Yan's family of four moved in, it would be too crowded.

But she couldn't go against her husband's wishes, and since Liu Yan was divorced, she was no longer a member of the Nie family, but rather a member of the Liu family, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to go back to her elder brother's house.

Knowing her elder brother's family's circumstances, Liu Yan was deeply moved when she saw him giving her money and inviting her to stay at his home. Tears welled up in her eyes again.

Nie Qianqian never expected Liu Xiong to let them move in with her. Feeding a family of four is no small expense, and her gratitude towards her uncle only deepened.

Liu Yan, fighting back tears, choked up and said, "Brother, please take this money back. I absolutely cannot accept it, and I certainly cannot move in with you. We have food at home, so you don't need to worry about us."

Liu Xiong thought Liu Yan was being stubborn, so he stuffed the money into Liu Yan's arms, saying, "We're all family, no need to pretend. Just take it. If you don't live with us, you'll freeze to death in the old house in winter."

Liu Yan: "Qianqian said she wants to build a new house before late autumn."

Liu Xiong was taken aback and looked at Nie Qianqian, "Building a new house?"

Nie Qianqian: "Uncle has come at just the right time. Uncle is a master at building houses. We'll have to trouble Uncle to help us with this."

For a moment, Huang Zhenzhu wondered if Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian were asking them to pay for a new house. But then she thought, these two aren't the kind of people who can't see things clearly.

Liu Xiong thought his niece was being a bit delusional. "Qianqian, do you know how much money it costs to build a new house?"

Nie Qianqian nodded. "I went to the village head's house this morning to inquire, and it seems to cost about thirty taels of silver."

Huang Zhenzhu exclaimed in surprise, "Thirty taels?"

So, Nie Qianqian not only wants to build a house, but a high-standard brick and tile house? Has she gone mad?

Since they were family, Nie Qianqian didn't lie to her uncle and aunt who cared about her and her mother. Instead, she told them the truth: "Uncle, a lot has happened while you were away. Once, my mother and I went into the mountains to dig for wild vegetables and accidentally found a Ganoderma lucidum. We sold it in town and made a lot of money, which allowed us to build a house. My mother and I will always remember your kindness, but we have a large family of four, and we really can't bother you."

Liu Xiong and Huang Zhenzhu's eyes widened in disbelief. They'd dug up a Ganoderma lucidum?!

Liu Xiong was incredibly shocked. To be able to dig up a Ganoderma lucidum was such incredible luck; Heaven was truly blessing his poor sister.

No wonder their clothes were new, their complexions looked much rosier, and there were new tables and chairs in their home; it turned out they had this strange encounter.
