Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

When she opened her eyes, it was almost noon.

Seeing that it was bright outside, Wen Tang stretched and then lazily got out of bed.

As soon as Wen Tang stepped out with her toothbrush, she was greeted warmly by her mother-in-law, "Tang, what would you like to eat?"

"Would eggs work?"

"Mom will cook you two."

Wen Tang "..."

"Mom, did you find money on the street this morning?"

Zhong Meixian shook her head. "I haven't left the house yet!"

The old lady said this and went into the kitchen with a smile.

Wen Tang moved to the yard next to her best friend who was holding a child. "Did the old lady suffer some kind of shock early this morning?"

Chi Yue shook her head. "Before you got up, she was still the same as usual."

Wen Tang wondered, "Could it be that she misunderstood again that I'm pregnant?"

"What did you say that made her misunderstand?"

Wen Tang shook her head.

"What did I do that made her misunderstand?"

Wen Tang shook her head again.

"That shouldn't be it."

After thinking it over, Wen Tang told Zhong Meixian while eating the eggs, "Mom, I'm not pregnant yet!"

Wen Tang felt that if she didn't say this, she would choke on the egg in her mouth.

As soon as Wen Tang finished speaking, Zhong Meixian immediately put on a smile full of wrinkles, "Oh, it's alright, it's alright. You're still young. If you don't get pregnant in the first year, you'll get pregnant in three years eventually. There's no rush!"

"No rush, no rush," Zhong Meixian muttered twice more, seemingly trying to comfort Wen Tang, but Wen Tang felt that she was more likely comforting herself.

"Mom, why don't you eat the rest of the eggs?"

"You eat, you eat, I don't like eggs."

"I don't like it."

"When did Gu Yanli leave this morning?" Wen Tang changed the subject.

"They left just as dawn was breaking, and when they left they told me to buy more meat for them!"

"I only think about you," Zhong Meixian said sweetly.

Wen Tang, on the other hand, felt embarrassed. "Hehe, of course he has to think of me. I'm his only wife. Who else would he think of if not me?"

Zhong Meixian could only nod, "Yes, that's right."

Wen Tang smiled shyly, "Hehe, right?"

Wen Tang ate both eggs. After washing her hands, she picked up the net and basket by the wall and said, "Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

With so many orders now, they need to make soap frequently to build up inventory in case they need even more later.

So when she was free, she would go out and collect clams and other similar items herself.

Moreover, once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the weather turns cool, and the soapberry trees outside begin to drop their fruit.

She went out and picked some back, trying to make some soapberry soap.

She noticed back in the spring that there were quite a few soapberry trees in the area where they were.

Wen Tang, carrying a net and a basket, was spotted by Luo Qiao and Luo Tian, ​​who were picking peanuts in the field.

The peanuts had already been harvested, but some were inevitably left in the field, so these female educated youths were assigned to pick them up.

Picking peanuts isn't tiring; everyone loves doing it.

Luo Qiao especially loved doing it, because she really loved taking advantage of the situation.

Sure enough, Wen Tang was seen passing by when she walked through the fields.

She saw it and nudged Luo Tian beside her, "Look, where is she going?"

Luo Tian shook her head.

Luo Qiao threw the two peanuts she had picked up into the basket, straightened up, and said, "Sweetie, come with me to find a place to relieve myself."

When working in the fields, there were no toilets nearby, and it was impractical to travel back and forth to the educated youth settlement. So they usually relieved themselves in small woods, low-lying ditches, or behind graves.

Men are always easier to deal with.

To avoid being seen, the women usually travel in pairs.

So when she asked Luo Tian to accompany her to the restroom, no one else reacted.

As they walked out of the field, she grabbed Luo Tian and followed Wen Tang.

Wen Tang was heading towards the lake.

Luo Qiao asked curiously, "What is she doing there?"

"Is there anything good in the lake?"

Until she saw Wen Tang scooping up clams, snails, and other things and putting them all into the basket, Luo Qiao looked completely at ease.

"I said, what is she reselling if she has no resources!"

"So they're taking advantage of the current shortage of supplies and the fact that everyone has nothing to eat, using some spices to sell vegetables that have no cost!"

"Hmph, he does have some brains, but they're useless."

Luo Qiao has made up her mind to report Wen Tang.

Now that they know what Wen Tang is doing, they feel even more confident.

The convenience couldn't last too long. Knowing what Wen Tang had come for, Luo Qiao pulled Luo Tian away again.

Luo Tian, ​​being pulled along by Luo Qiao, kept turning back to ask, "Can those things be eaten too?"

Luo Qiao nodded, "Yes, once it's cleaned thoroughly, adding numbing and spicy flavors will make it taste even better."

"Qiaoqiao, have you eaten this?"

"Oh, right, I ate it once at your biological parents' house before."

Luo Tian lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Oh!"

Wen Tang was unaware that she was being followed.

After scooping up half a basket, they turned to picking up soapberries.

Fortunately, Luo Qiao didn't see her move, otherwise Luo Qiao would probably have guessed something and wouldn't have been so determined to do something so foolish.

After catching clams and snails and collecting half a bag of soapberries, Wen Tang arrived home to find Zhong Meixian already cooking.

It's stir-fried green peppers with shredded pork.

You can smell it from far away.

Wen Tang threw her things down as she entered the door and asked, "Mom, is the pork cooked?"

Zhong Meixian nodded, "Yes, I was thinking of stir-frying the leftover meat from yesterday."

"This way you'll have the strength to work, and Xiaoyue will have enough milk to eat."

Wen Tang nodded, "Then don't cook it too spicy, Xiao Yue is still breastfeeding."

Zhong Meixian nodded, "It's not spicy, it's not spicy, there weren't many chili peppers."

Wen Tang put the soapberries she had picked into a winnowing basket and told them that she would make new soap in the afternoon.

Zhong Meixian and the others didn't understand and didn't offer any opinions.

Chi Yue simply said, "The child is asleep. I'll help you."

"Uh-huh!"

In just one afternoon, the soapberries were packed into molds.

Wen Tang then said to Chi Yue, "I'll go to the county town tomorrow and order another batch of packaging paper and molds."

"There are still cardboard boxes left, but not many."

Wen Tang pondered.

The next day, before she even left the house, Director Wang arrived at the Gu family's residence.

"Director Wang?" Wen Tang was pleasantly surprised to see Director Wang.

"Hmm, are you heading out?" Director Wang asked with a smile, noticing the crossbody bag on Wen Tang's back.

"Yes, I feel like I don't have enough cardboard boxes and molds, so I'm thinking of ordering another batch from the county town."

Director Wang nodded. "It's time to order."

When Zhong Meixian saw Director Wang, she brought him a stool and said, "Director, please sit down."

Then she busied herself pouring tea.

Director Wang quickly said, "Auntie, don't bother, I just need to say a few words to Xiao Wen, and then I'll leave."

"You don't need to bother."

Despite saying that, Zhong Meixian was still busy.

They quickly made some brown sugar water.

Director Wang sat down and said, "Comrade Wen, I have some good news for you."

“Yes, Director, please speak,” Wen Tang said, sitting opposite Director Wang, behaving like a model student.

"That's right, didn't the neighboring county buy soap from us a few days ago?"

"Ok!"

"These products sold very well after we got back, and everyone said they were great to use and cleaned things very well."
