Reincarnation and Rebirth

Su Wan'er had no choice but to continue meditating and practicing her skills. Just as she sat down, she suddenly asked, "Then what does this mission have to do with me leaving the Su family?"

Xiao Bai suddenly said in a cheeky tone, "Then guess why Master transmigrated into this Su Wan'er's body, and even in several lifetimes?"

"You stupid dog, I'm asking you a question, and you're asking me the same one?"

Xiao Bai jumped in alarm and ran away as fast as she could, saying, "Master, all I can say is that Su Wan'er is the one destined to change the fate of Ziyun Kingdom. Therefore, you cannot refuse to be Su Wan'er, nor can you leave the Su family. The Su family has a secret..."

Because Xiaobai was running too fast, Su Wan'er didn't hear the last few words clearly, but she roughly understood that leaving the Su family would prevent her from completing the mission. Sigh...

I've sighed more these past few days than I've sighed in three lifetimes combined.

Su Wan'er hurriedly emerged from her spatial dimension only when the sky outside began to lighten.

Perhaps it's because of her training, or perhaps it's the nourishment from the spiritual energy in the space, but now Su Wan'er doesn't feel sleepy even after sleeping for an hour a day.

The sound of rustling clothes coming from next door suggested that Wang was getting ready to work. Su Wan'er didn't know whether to describe her as hardworking and capable or as honest and simple. In any case, she really wanted to give her an award, an award for model daughter-in-law of the year.

He turned over and went back to sleep. In the Su family, people don't get up until after 7 a.m., except for the second branch of the family.

Yesterday, because Su Youlu returned, Su Xiang'er came back to squeeze in with her eldest and second eldest sisters. Although there was a wooden board separating the two rooms and the kang (heated brick bed) was also separated by a wooden board, they were still on the same kang. The noise last night still made Su Xiang'er blush and feel extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, she desperately wished that her hearing was so good.

Su Xiang'er was growing up, and when she went out to work, she would hear the women telling dirty jokes, so she understood them and naturally blushed.

Su Wan'er missed modern reinforced concrete houses terribly; even if the soundproofing was terrible, it wouldn't be this awkward.

Su Xiang'er, who was beside her, also got up at this moment.

"Xiang'er, it's still early, sleep a little longer."

"Big sister, you go to sleep for a while. I'm going out to help Mom with the chores. Dad didn't bring back any money yesterday, so Grandma will definitely cause trouble today."

Su Wan'er scoffed, "Didn't Fourth Uncle also come back empty-handed? Why is he only scolding our second branch of the family?"

Su Xiang'er paused in her dressing and sighed, "Who told Fourth Aunt and Yue'er to be able to earn money through embroidery?"

Making money? Yes, how come I didn't think of that? In this family, whoever can make money can hold the old lady's lifeline, right? I was so stupid to insist on arguing.

Didn't Madam Chen try to sell my perfume last time? That means there's definitely a market for it. However, the raw materials for perfume aren't cheap, so I need to find a way to get the old lady's approval.

As for how much they earn, that's beyond their control back home. Those four mothers and daughters only earn about a hundred coins a month, and the old lady cherishes it like it's nothing.

Thinking of this, Su Wan'er stopped sleeping and jumped up, accidentally waking up Su Zhao'er as well.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what time is it?"

"Zhao'er, sleep a little longer, it's still early."

Su Zhao'er rubbed her eyes. "I'll go take care of Ming'er. Eldest sister, second sister, you two go ahead and do your work."

Alas, the poor man's child learns to be independent early; the ancients were right.

Next door, Su Youlu was still fast asleep, and little Su Ming was also sleeping soundly. Su Wan'er gently picked them up and brought them to Su Zhao'er's side, tucking their already thin blankets in. "You two rest here. Now that your father is back, you are too young to get up. It's cold outside."

"Okay sister."

Su Wan'er felt sorry for her little sister's face, then took out half a large white steamed bun from her bosom.

"Hey, big sister, can you do magic tricks?"

"What magic trick? This is something my eldest sister has been hiding. She's been keeping it warm. You can secretly have some with Ming'er later."

"What about you?"

Su Wan'er gently pinched her small nose. "Little housekeeper, don't worry, your eldest sister won't let your second sister go hungry. Alright, hide now, don't let anyone find out."

As she spoke, she glanced at the outer room. Su Zhao'er immediately understood what her elder sister meant: they couldn't let their father find out. So she quickly stuffed the steamed bun into her bosom and hid it under the covers.

Today, the eldest son's family is going to town for a wedding banquet. One of Chen's cousins ​​is getting married. As it was getting bright, Chen urged the younger children to hurry up and get ready to leave.

After a few days of rest, the wound on her head has healed, but she continues to pretend to be weak and avoid housework.

"Mother, it's so early, let me sleep a little longer." Su Qing'er was a little reluctant.

"Get up quickly. Your cousin is getting married. I heard that the county magistrate's wife and son will be there to celebrate. Get ready properly. Oh, and give that perfume to your mother."

Su Qing'er was overjoyed that the magistrate's son would be going, but the next second she was unhappy when she heard that her mother wanted to take her perfume. "Mother, I can't bear to use that stuff. You're not going to give it away, are you?"

“You silly child, you can’t catch a wolf without risking your cub. Besides, I want to talk to your uncle to see if it’s possible to come up with a prescription and sell it at your maternal grandfather’s shop.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qing'er immediately got out of bed. "Are you serious? Then why don't we just ask Su Wan'er for it?"

Madam Chen patted her forehead, "You silly girl, let's not even talk about whether that wretched girl is willing to hand it over or not. Even if she does, do you think the money will still fall into the hands of our eldest son's family after your grandmother finds out?"

"Mother is right, I'll go get it." Su Qing'er quickly opened her little box and reluctantly took out the perfume. Madam Chen laughed and scolded, "Alright, cut a little for yourself."

The eldest son's family was dressed to the nines. As they were leaving, Su Chen deliberately ran to the second son's door to show off, "Wow, some people will never get to eat such a good banquet in their lives. The feast had chicken, duck, fish, and meat—it was so delicious and plentiful..."

Su Zhao'er slowly tore apart a steamed bun to feed Su Ming, completely ignoring Su Chen. Su Yue'er, from next door, overheard this, her fingers tightly gripping her handkerchief, her eyes filled with a gloom beyond her years. Su Jie was even younger, completely oblivious to the deliciousness of meat and fish.

Su Chen felt like he was punching cotton, and unwilling to give up, he tried to rush inside, but Su Wan'er stopped him sharply, "Su Chen, you're nine years old, don't you know the rules? Boys and girls shouldn't sit together after the age of seven. Why are you rushing into our room?"

Ever since Su Wan'er taught him a lesson last time, Su Chen felt a little afraid of her. But he wouldn't back down, so he said, "Pah, a little brat, she'll be sold off sooner or later."

"Say that again...!"

“Wan’er, Chen’er is still young, why bother arguing with him?” Madam Chen said, frowning as she stood at the door.

"Oh? So Su Chen goes to Su Qing'er's room often?"

"You, you stop spewing nonsense and slandering Qing'er's reputation."

"Alright, I'm leaving." Su Youfu came out of the room, his face full of disgust.

Today, they not only need to go to Chen's family home to discuss the perfume, but he also needs to find Master Gou. Su Wan'er must marry into his family; he can't lose his position as county magistrate.
