Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

"Tongtong, could you cook me something? It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just some porridge will do!"

The system ruthlessly rejected: "Sorry, host, none of these functions are available!"

"Can you get in? I can go in and mess around by myself!"

"I'm sorry, host, the two space fragments you drew are both time-prohibited space fragments. They can only store items, and living beings cannot enter them."

Qiao Manman was somewhat disappointed, but she didn't force the issue. She took out a mooncake from her spatial storage, unwrapped it, and wolfed it down.

The mooncake was sweet and fragrant, but it was so dry it made her choke. She choked until tears streamed down her face.

Although the second crisis has been mostly resolved, she still feels wronged.

Why did she, who neither harmed heaven nor committed any wrongdoing, suddenly transmigrate like this?

She just stays at home all day being a useless bum, what's it to her?

After finishing a mooncake, Qiao Manman raised her hand to wipe away her tears and stubbornly stood up.

By the moonlight, he packed the white rice from his system space into the grain bag given to him by Fu Xianling. Fearing that the amount was not enough, he also opened another bag and poured some into it.

The same goes for soybean oil. After filling one 10-liter bucket, I opened another one and filled both 5-pound buckets to the brim, leaving only a small gap, before storing them all in the system space.

Seeing two flat, sharp stones by the roadside, I also put them away, just in case anyone had any bad intentions.

Qiao Manman didn't know what time it was; she only knew it was dark and there was no one on the street. In the distance, the residential buildings were lit with dim, yellowish lights.

Qiao Manman walked quickly toward Fu Xianling's house, and soon arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

I had just put my things out and was about to knock on the door when I heard a loud argument erupt inside.

Qiao Manman's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Fu Xianling's husband or mother-in-law was unhappy that she spent so much money to buy these things.

Pressing my ear against the door, I heard words like "child," "hospital," and "not laying eggs."

She was so confused that she didn't know whether she should knock on the door or not.

Only when the noise inside the house subsided did Qiao Manman knock on the door. The sound wasn't loud, but it startled the people inside.

After a period of chaos, Fu Xianling placed her hand on the door latch and asked in a thick nasal voice, "Who is it!"

"It's me, Auntie!" Qiao Manman looked around furtively to make sure no one was watching before saying, "Auntie, I've come to bring you something!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Fu Xianling quickly unlatched the door and saw a large bag of grain outside. She hurried inside to call her husband to come and help.

Fu Xianling finally breathed a sigh of relief after a group of people moved the things into the yard and bolted the door again.

After checking and confirming that everything was in order, Fu Xianling went inside to get the money.

Her mother-in-law kept saying to the man, "My God, this rice is really good. I'll bring two pounds for your sister-in-law to try tomorrow!"

Qiao Manman found these words strange and hid in the corner, pretending to be a quail. Two minutes later, Fu Xianling came out and handed Qiao Manman a stack of bills.

Qiao Manman counted them; seventy-one yuan, just right.

But it's still not enough.

She owed the hospital ninety yuan, and even if she used all the money she had on her, she still wouldn't be able to fill that hole.

Therefore, we need to find another way to make money faster.

Thinking of the fertility pills that had appeared twice in the space, Qiao Manman had an idea.

Pulling Fu Xianling out of the yard and hiding her under the wall not far away, she asked shyly and cautiously, "Auntie, I just heard you talking about a child in the hospital. Is your child sick?"

Fu Xianling's expression tightened, and she forced a smile while waving her hand: "That's not true!"

"That's good!" Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying, "Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to help."

Then, seemingly unrelated, he said, "I have a relative who has been married for over ten years and still hasn't gotten pregnant."

The man kept saying he'd married a barren hen, but the woman's family dragged him to the hospital. Guess what? It turned out he was infertile!

After her initial surprise, Fu Xianling covered her mouth and asked, "Are you serious? Whether or not one can have children has something to do with the man?"

"Otherwise, having a child is a joint effort, so why should the man push the responsibility onto the woman!"

Fu Xianling nodded thoughtfully.

Then Qiao Manman continued, "However, my relative has finally gotten better after all the hardships."

She sought medical help everywhere for the past two years, and actually found a folk remedy. She took it just once, and lo and behold, she got pregnant! And with twins, a boy and a girl!

Now that she has both a son and a daughter, her in-laws cherish her like the apple of their eye!

Seeing Fu Xianling staring blankly, Qiao Manman waved her hand with a smile: "Hey, why am I telling you all this? You're such a chatterbox. Auntie, I'll be going now, I'll come see you again another day!"

But as he turned around, Fu Xianling grabbed his arm.

Qiao Manman was secretly delighted: "Hey, it worked!"

But he feigned innocence: "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

Fu Xianling looked at her with a deep gaze: "What you just said, was it true?"

Qiao Manman trembled and quickly asked the system, "System, is the fertility pill definitely effective?"

"Don't worry, host. As long as both the man and woman who take the pills are not missing any parts, there is a 99% chance of conceiving twins."

Therefore, Qiao Manman nodded firmly: "Of course, but those pills are very expensive, extremely expensive, and most people wouldn't dare to try them easily."

"How expensive is it?"

"One pill costs 100 yuan and must be taken by both men and women at the same time."

What if you lie to someone?

"I can collect a deposit first, and then collect the balance six months after you become pregnant!"

"So, you heard everything at the door just now?"

Fu Xianling stared at her intently, as if weighing the truth or falsehood in Qiao Manman's words.

Qiao Manman readily admitted, "Yes! If Auntie thinks I'm a liar, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

However, given your mother-in-law's attitude, are you sure you still have room to back down?

Fu Xianling closed her eyes briefly, then gritted her teeth as if making a firm decision: "Fine, I'll buy it. Meet me under the old locust tree in three days."

Qiao Manman smiled, reassuring her: "Auntie, just think about it. If the person behind me can produce such good rice, they can't be an ordinary household."

It's perfectly normal for someone to have a secret formula for conceiving, isn't it?

Fu Xianling felt enlightened; the haze in her heart dissipated largely because of those words.

Nodding, "Auntie believes you!"

Qiao Manman waved to her and skipped away.

Back at the hospital, after handing over the seventy yuan to the payment window, the staff member solemnly said, "Mr. Qiao, I'm so sorry, I was being petty this afternoon. Your partner has already paid the outstanding hospital fees!"

Qiao Manman: "......"

Lu Yuan is back, and he even paid the money for her?

Paying the money is fine, as long as she pays it back. The key issue is that the "partner" was something she made up to gain people's trust.

Lu Yuan probably doesn't think she's trying to cling to him!

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to accept it. Once we get back to the countryside, who will even recognize us?

Qiao Manman waved her hand with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. You're just thinking about the hospital, I understand! Where's my boyfriend? Is he in the ward?"
