Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 48 Accepting 2 Oxen and 5 Chickens
"Immortal Tofu? Why is it called that?"
“I don’t know, maybe it was a gift from the gods to mortals?” Yu Meihua said, glancing at Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's about the same idea. Ancient books say that during famine years, many plants sustained a large number of people, and this immortal tree was one of them."
"It's really delicious. Do you have any more? Give me another one. I feel so energized after eating it. I was feeling hot and bothered just now, but now I feel cool and refreshed."
One of the clan elders looked at himself in surprise, realizing it wasn't his imagination.
Yu Banxia chuckled to herself. She had added some diluted spiritual spring water to the Immortal Tofu, so that the villagers would be in better physical condition and could work twice as hard.
"If that's true, give me another bowl."
"I want some too, do you have any more?"
"Yes, Xia made a lot. We'll go pick more tomorrow. We still have half of what we picked today."
As Zhao packed the food for everyone, she said with a smile.
"This is great. I need a bowl of this on a hot summer day. It's sour, spicy, and refreshing. It's so comforting."
"Yes, it's delicious." The Immortal Tofu received unanimous praise.
After everyone finished eating, Erniu and the others helped return the wooden basin to the Yu family. Then they were about to help pull weeds when Yu Banxia stopped them.
She walked to the rocking chair under the tree and sat down. Yu Banyue saw the few of them standing there, suppressing a laugh, and broke three long benches and put them down.
"Sit down and talk. My Xiaxia isn't going to eat you."
Several older women were still staying at her house, chatting quietly while eating sunflower seeds not far away, occasionally glancing in their direction.
"Sit down," Yu Banxia said, and the others immediately sat down obediently.
Yu Banyue was dumbfounded; this was too obedient.
“What are your names? You can’t just keep calling each other Erniu, can you?” Yu Banxia said.
Erniu quickly stood up and introduced himself: "I am Erniu, my full name is Fan Shouan, and this is Gou Dan, my cousin, whose full name is Fan Shouquan."
"The fat one is Zhang Fugui, the short one is Zhu Xiang, and this big, clumsy guy is Cao Dabao."
Yu Banxia glanced at them one by one and memorized them.
He then asked, "Have you discussed this with your families?"
“I told you, I told you. My mother said that as long as I don’t go out and cause trouble, I can come and help in the village.”
“My mother said so too.”
“Me too,” the group said in unison.
Yu Banxia frowned slightly, and the five people instantly fell silent.
"As long as you listen to me, I guarantee you won't regret it. I will teach you swordsmanship if I say I will, but I also have some requirements."
"What do you want? Tell us, and we'll agree to everything," the five said in unison.
Yu Banxia couldn't help but laugh. These people were quite interesting: "I'm training you, so I need your promise to work for me for five years, and you can't betray me during those five years."
"If I discover any betrayal, I will surely cripple your martial arts and punish you accordingly."
"Don't worry, Miss Yu. We five swear to heaven that if we betray you or fail to live up to your expectations, we will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
Xiao Bai said the oath had come true, and Yu Banxia then smiled and said, "There's no need to be so serious. I have faith in you. Let's make a small bet today. Five years from now, you won't be willing to leave."
"As long as you work diligently under my guidance, I will surely pave a bright future for you!"
"We are willing to follow Miss Yu!" A flame ignited in the hearts of the five men. They were willing to follow her, and for some reason, they had a feeling that what she said would come true.
Yu Banxia smiled slightly, then got up and walked back and forth under the jujube tree.
"Xiaxia, what's wrong?" Zhao asked curiously.
They had witnessed everything that had just happened. They were quite impressed by how obedient the five young men were, and how Yu Banxia had silenced them with just a glance.
The little girl is really quite formidable; from what they were watching just now, she seemed like a young lady from a high-ranking family giving a lecture.
I really hope their daughter will look like that someday; she's truly beautiful, as if she's radiating light.
"I'm thinking about where to arrange for them to rest, my house is too small for them," Yu Banxia said with some distress.
“Hey, it’s no big deal. My aunt’s family is all boys, and there’s an empty room. It’s hot today, so you can sleep on the floor.”
“It won’t be long before the workshop is up and running, then there will be a place to sleep, right?” said an aunt named An Xiufen.
Yu Banxia felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was the one who recruited the person, yet she was troubling them.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Auntie?"
"It's no trouble at all, you're too kind." Since An Xiufen said that, Yu Banxia stopped refusing.
Yu Banxia said, "Then thank you, Auntie. They eat at my house every day and then go back to your house to rest in the evening."
“Okay.” An Xiufen smiled readily.
"Thank you, Auntie." Erniu and the others quickly bowed and thanked her, doing it quite properly.
As the sun sets, the Yu family's kitchen begins to smell delicious, while the roe deer sleeps with a group of rabbits in the livestock shed.
Erniu and the other five went to pull weeds, Wu Zhuxiang and the others were busy in the kitchen, and Yu Banxia had nothing to do, so she lay on the rocking chair to gather her wood-type supernatural power.
As the supernatural power coalesced, the leaves on the jujube tree grew even greener, and the surrounding flowers and plants seemed to come alive, with the roses on the fence blooming even more vigorously.
The entire courtyard was filled with a fresh fragrance, which the people busy in the kitchen could smell.
The fragrance of the flowers completely overpowered the aroma of the meat. Curious, Yu Banyue went out to take a look and saw a thriving scene in the courtyard.
"Mother, sister-in-law, come and see!" Yu Banyue called to the two of them.
Fan Cuilan and Wu Zhuxiang also quietly walked to the kitchen door and looked into the yard.
I saw my daughter radiating a faint green glow, while the surrounding flowers, plants and trees swayed vigorously in the breeze.
She was like a forest fairy sleeping among flowers and grass, captivating all who looked at her.
The scene vanished instantly upon hearing the sound of the oxcart, while the flowers and plants remained vibrant and full of life.
However, the light emanating from Yu Banxia dissipated, and the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment before walking to the courtyard gate and looking outside.
But then they saw that their eldest daughter and son-in-law had returned, their oxcart loaded with all sorts of things.
However, Zhang Quangui had injuries on his face, and Yu Bantao's complexion was not good either.
"What's going on? Are you fighting at home?" Fan Cuilan rushed out and pulled her daughter up and down to look her over.
Yu Bantao shook her head and said she was fine, as her husband had blocked everything.
"What happened?" Fan Cuilan looked at her son-in-law again; his face and neck were covered in injuries.
"Mother, let's bring my brother-in-law and eldest sister back first." Yu Banxia also came over.
Fan Cuilan nodded quickly, Wu Zhuxiang ran back to the kitchen to check the pot, and Yu Banyue stepped forward to help carry the things home.
