Gao Fengjuan wailed incessantly outside the door, disturbing everyone in the West Residence.
Xiao Xinling's small face flushed with anger. She put her hands on her hips and walked out, saying, "Hey, are you mourning in the morning? What are you shouting about? If you're not tired, others are annoyed..."
Why is this person so uncouth? She was just divorced by her husband. She could find another one later, why act like she wanted to die or live?
Gao Fengjuan looked at Xiao Xinling with a choked sob and asked, "Little girl, are you married?"
Did she know that a man was a woman's pillar of support? If she was divorced, where would she find a man as capable and handsome as Sanman...
Xiao Xinling's beautiful eyes widened, and she stomped her foot, "No, who are you calling a little girl? You uncivilized person, this is outrageous!~"
Gao Fengjuan: "..."
Why does this girl have such a condescending, "I'm a queen" attitude?
Just because she has a little money, why is she showing off?
Looking at her, she must be a nouveau riche, and her parents were uncultured.
"Hmph, I'm not like you!" Gao Fengjuan glared at the main house again, then got into her carriage and returned to the county town.
Sanman wants to divorce her? No way...
Anyway, she had already torn up the divorce papers, so they didn't count.
"Granny Gao, why was that woman divorced?" Xiao Xinling asked, looking at the departing carriage with curiosity.
Granny Gao smiled slightly, "I rarely inquire about other people's affairs, but I overheard them arguing just now. It seems this daughter-in-law was too troublesome. Her husband not only managed their shop but also supported his entire family. He must have been overwhelmed, which is why he divorced her..."
"From what you're saying, her husband is a live-in son-in-law?" Xiao Xinling blinked. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Granny Gao 'hmmmed' and said, "Probably!"
"Then this woman deserves it. She doesn't endear herself to anyone, and she cries and shouts even more than I do. If he divorced her, then so be it!"
After Xiao Xinling's rant, she walked towards her room, "Granny Gao, have them prepare breakfast and bring it in. Don't forget to boil two eggs. Oh, and don't they have salted duck eggs and salted goose eggs in the countryside? Bring me two..."
The salted duck eggs from the palace were too unpalatable. After peeling them, there was no yolk butter, and they weren't fragrant at all.
"Yes, I understand, Miss!~" Granny Gao replied.
As soon as Xiao Xinling entered the room, Xiao Jinheng walked out of the West Residence.
He vaguely saw a familiar back, but it didn't seem quite right...
After all, so many years had passed, and the person must have grown taller.
He heard that the little village girl and Aunt Gu had gone to the fields to harvest potatoes and peanuts, and he also planned to join the fun.
"Commander Kong, what were the Yun family arguing about just now?" Xiao Jinheng asked casually.
Kong Xingzhuo craned his neck to glance at the East Residence, "Your subordinate heard that Sanman's wife was divorced, and Sister Guihua was also reprimanded by Aunt Gu..."
"Oh?" Xiao Jinheng paused, switching the basket in his hand. The basket contained some pastries and washed melons, which he planned to give to the little village girl and Aunt Gu later.
"Sanman brother is fine, why did he divorce her?" Xiao Jinheng wondered.
Kong Xingzhuo chuckled, "Why else? Sanman's wife is useless. She always finds fault with everything and expects Sanman to do all the work. The whole family is like vampires. After years of this, Sanman finally got fed up..."
Xiao Jinheng 'oh'ed and asked, "Then why was Sister Guihua scolded?"
"Your subordinate doesn't know about that. Perhaps she farted while eating!~"
Xiao Jinheng: "..."
A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory.
He carried the basket and ambled to Xiaoxitian's field at the village entrance.
He saw Aunt Gu bending over and pulling up a seedling. Miraculously, a cluster of fist-sized things appeared in the soil...
They were dark and covered in dirt, and he didn't know what they were.
Each seedling had piles and piles of round things beneath it. They were irregularly shaped, ugly, but numerous.
After pulling up almost three seedlings, a basket was filled...
Xiao Jinheng was slightly stunned. What kind of crop was this, and why was it so high-yielding?
"Young Master Xiao is here!~" Aunt Gu looked up and wiped the sweat from her brow, "It's dirty in the field, and the wind is strong. Young Master Xiao should go back inside!"
She knew that Xiao Jinheng's background was not simple. She had initially thought he would stay in Dashui Village for a month or two and then leave, but unexpectedly, he had stayed for several years, and he had also grown taller...
When Young Master Xiao first came to Dashui Village, he was like a little meatball, glaring at everyone, more domineering than the Emperor.
Xiao Jinheng walked over and asked with a smile, "Aunt Gu, what is this crop planted in the field called?"
If it could survive, it could be widely planted throughout Daliang Kingdom...
When the common people faced a famine, with this thing to save their lives, they wouldn't starve to death!
"It's potatoes!~" Before Aunt Gu could answer, Xiaoxitian walked over with a large potato, her small hands covered in mud.
Xiao Jinheng twitched his mouth, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Why did it look so strange?
Xiaoxitian: "..."
If it couldn't be eaten, why would she work so hard to plant so much?
Was she planning to let it rot in the ground?
"It can be eaten! You can roast it, boil it, stir-fry it, or stew it. My family is boiling potatoes tonight. Do you want to come and try?" Xiaoxitian asked, blinking her big eyes.
Xiao Jinheng felt a little conflicted...
He was hesitant to eat such an unfamiliar thing.
But when he thought of the sweet potatoes boiled and the dumplings with rich lard filling steamed at the Yun family last time, his mouth began to water.
Forget it, as long as the Yun family ate the first bite, he would dare to eat the second.
Xiao Jinheng pointed to another patch of dry crops, "What are those?"
They didn't look like soybeans, nor like beans, they were just strange...
"Those are peanuts!~" Xiaoxitian casually picked a pod of peanuts and opened it, revealing three peanuts in her palm.
Xiao Jinheng picked up a peanut and examined it carefully, "How do you eat this?"
As soon as peanuts were mentioned, Xiaoxitian's spirits immediately lifted.
She gestured with her small hands, "Peanuts can be made into fried peanuts, cold peanut salad, peanut oil, peanut butter, peanut brittle, peanut candy, and peanut cookies. There are many ways to prepare them..."
The reason Xiaoxitian planted peanuts was to make a side dish for her father and brother to go with their wine.
She could grab handfuls of these things in her space, but taking them out directly would lack a sense of accomplishment.
Letting peanuts and potatoes bloom and bear fruit in the fields of Dashui Village and experiencing the joy of harvest, how wonderful that would be...
Although the crops in her space also needed her constant attention, it didn't affect her farming in reality.
Xiao Jinheng was more interested in peanuts than potatoes after hearing this.
"With so many potatoes and peanuts, we definitely won't be able to finish harvesting them today!"
Xiao Jinheng glanced at the little village girl's five mu of land and instructed Kong Xingzhuo, "Go call Xiaoying and Xiaojun to come and help with the harvest!"
