She became a god

As the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, families reunite, and relatives pay homage to their ancestors.

The name Li Zhengzheng has been officially written into the Li family genealogy.

Chen Xiaocao watched coldly as her sister, Li, who had once lived a life far inferior to hers, received this honor, and felt a complex mix of emotions.

Back when Li Zhengzheng was still Li Saonv, she was the most pitiful girl in the entire Xihe Village.

Although Li Zhengzheng's family perished in the fire and she now lives alone in a dilapidated temple, she is still listed in the family genealogy, has established a female household, and owns her own land.

Looking back at myself, when my maternal grandmother was alive, I didn't know how many days I lived, but I had enough to eat and wear, and I was never given a lowly name like Zhaodi.

Now, both being orphans, Li Zhengzheng feels reborn, but she owns no land and has a sickly younger brother to support.

"Sis, is dinner ready?"

The person inside called out several times but received no response from Chen Xiaocao. They then cursed, "Chen Xiaocao, where the hell have you been? Don't you know I'm starving to death?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Xiaocao's eyes. She took out a tael of silver hidden in a crack in the wall, went inside, and said a few words to Chen Yaozu.

Chen Yaozu asked hesitantly, "Can this really succeed?"

Chen Xiaocao said, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Little brother, you're a boy, so they'll be even more heartbroken if you get hurt."

Thinking of his future life of luxury, adorned with gold and silver, Chen Yaozu steeled his heart and let Chen Xiaocao pour several scoops of cold water on him.

On that day, a brother and sister beat a drum outside the county government office in Lishui County to appeal for justice, asking the county magistrate to find their missing father.

When the news reached Xihe Village, the Chen siblings had already been taken back to the Qi family.

Many villagers sighed with relief that the Chen siblings had finally overcome their hardships.

However, some people were not optimistic. If Qi Fei really wanted to take back the Chen siblings, why would he need to wait for the county magistrate to send someone to reprimand him?

This forced recognition of ancestry may seem glamorous, but there are countless ways to torment people within the confines of a large family compound. Whether these siblings can safely grow up to adulthood remains to be seen.

Wen Xichun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, even though she had long expected that the five taels of silver she had lent out would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog, never to be returned.

But even though it had been more than ten days since she was recognized as a member of the family, he still hadn't thought about returning the money to her, which made her somewhat unhappy.

They were poor and couldn't pay back their debts before, but now that they're rich, they still don't think about paying them back.

Hey!

Granny Chen shouldn't have incurred that debt of gratitude in the first place!

Wen Xichun frowned, secretly resolving that from now on, she would never owe favors to anyone if something could be solved with money.

【Chun Chun, why are you unhappy?】

[Could it be that they've run out of money?]

It's alright, we can go to the pharmacy again.

Anyway, we still have a lot of ginseng and lingzhi, which can be exchanged for a lot... a lot of money!

Wen Xichun shook her head, "We still have nine hundred taels, that's enough."

The well cost twenty taels of silver, the house was reinforced for ten taels of silver, and fifty taels of land was purchased.

Aside from daily expenses, they had no other major expenses in the short term, and nine hundred taels was more than enough for their living expenses.

The little panda, resting its chin on its hand, said, "How about we go to the county town for a stroll? Your spring clothes are too thin; you should buy some new clothes."

Red pandas have fluffy fur and don't have to worry about being cold or warm.

But I heard that Xi Chun is only human, and if she doesn't dress warmly, she'll easily get sick.

Wen Xichun herself didn't think so. She used to live well in a dilapidated temple wearing coarse linen clothes and animal skins, and now that she lives in a brick house, she is even less likely to get sick.

But since it was the little panda's kind gesture, she couldn't very well refuse.

The moment Wen Xichun stepped into the largest cloth shop in the county, she felt a little regretful.

There were too many clothes here; many of them seemed like a complete burden to her.

After searching for a long time, she finally found a few clothes that looked good: a black narrow-sleeved riding outfit, a red military uniform, and a dark blue tight-fitting outfit.

【Chun Chun, I admit the clothes you chose are very convenient for work, but you're not actually working very long hours each day.】

I think you should buy a few sets of casual, comfortable clothes so you can be more comfortable when you take a nap in the lounge chair!

Of course, the most important thing is that it won't prick me, the little panda!

Wen Xichun hesitated for a moment, but still bought a few long gowns and brocade robes.

The little panda pressed its advantage, saying, "Buy a few sets of silk undergarments. They must be soft and comfortable to wear so you can sleep well."

Wen Xichun touched it; it was light and soft. The little panda's eye was indeed good.

The little panda suddenly said, "I want a bib with a water-colored cloud pattern and a silver bamboo pattern!"

Red pandas love to eat pastries like peach crisps, but these pastries crumble easily and can get their fur dirty.

The red panda is a clean freak; she has to protect her fluffy, clean fur!

After finishing his shopping spree, Wen Xichun was about to leave the store when he suddenly heard a clear voice, "Hey, you strong man carrying a bamboo basket, please wait!"

Wen Xichun turned around and saw an androgynous young man dressed in a silver-threaded cloud-patterned brocade robe, his black hair tied up high with a white jade hairpin, wearing a pair of black boots embroidered with gold, and even a white belt inlaid with gold and jade hanging around his waist.

Wen Xichun was puzzled. The person in front of her was either rich or noble, but she had never met her before. Why would she call out to her?

But then the young man laughed loudly, "My name is Ji Chunxi. I wish to make friends with you, brave warrior. May I ask your name?"

Upon hearing this, gasps of surprise filled the air.

Wow!

This person seems to be quite famous!

But this name sounds a bit familiar.

The little panda thought for a moment, then realized it couldn't remember, so it stopped thinking about it.

Wen Xichun detests trouble the most. This Ji Xunxi looks like a big shot with a name and a surname. If she really gets involved with this person, there will definitely be more trouble in the future.

So she said calmly, "We've only met by chance, there's no need for us to become acquainted."

Ji Xunxi raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she had ever seen someone so disrespectful to her. Interesting.

"I saw that you were a strong and imposing man with steady breathing, so I thought you must be a skilled fighter. I was planning to recommend you as a constable. But now it seems that I was being presumptuous."

The onlookers looked at Wen Xichun with envy, and Wen Xichun frowned and said, "This is the last time."

Ji Xunxi's smile froze. She had only been being polite, giving the other party a way out.

The other party actually thinks they were wrong?

These days, many people want a government job but have no way of getting one.

This person is really something else; he practically offered her the imperial rations, and she refused them.

Is this woman truly indifferent to fame and fortune, or is she waiting for the right price to go?

However... this woman is really strange. She always carries a bamboo basket when she goes shopping at the cloth shop, and her expression always subtly changes, as if she is listening to someone talk.

But most of the customers in the fabric shop were neither too close nor too far apart, and they mostly chatted about everyday things. How could this cold woman occasionally show a smile?

Ji Xunxi's intuition told her that there must be a secret in the woman's bamboo basket.

Then she laughed heartily, "There's a teahouse right across the street. I wonder if you would give me a chance to treat you to a five-colored drink as an apology?"
