Time travel is truly shocking.
Li Yuzhu couldn’t understand why she time-traveled, so with all her thoughts swirling, she didn’t sleep well.
Not knowing what time in the night it was, Xue Family beside her suddenly got up gently, sneaking outside.
Li Yuzhu’s eyes twinkled, she thought for a moment, and quietly followed.
She saw Xue Family walking towards the table.
On the table, inside a bamboo cover, there was a bowl of meat, which Old Qin and his wife couldn’t bear to eat and left it.
Was Xue Family planning to steal food?
Li Yuzhu squinted her eyes and coldly sneered, "Sister-in-law, are you trying to steal Granny Qin’s rabbit meat? We are staying at their house, and you are stealing their meat, does that make sense? Repaying kindness with betrayal?"
In the silent night, the sudden voice startled Xue Family.
"I... I wanted to relieve myself, it’s dark inside, I couldn’t see the way and bumped into the table, don’t talk nonsense." Xue Family turned around angrily and opened the door to go outside.
Li Yuzhu rolled her eyes, then went back to the side room to sit.
She was dead set on keeping an eye on Xue Family, just let her try to get at the meat again.
Xue Family stood outside for a while, pretending to have gone to the toilet, shivered in the cold wind, gritted her teeth, and went back into the house.
She silently cursed in her heart, is Li Yuzhu a fox?
The next morning, Mrs. Qin cooked a pot of corn mush with wild vegetables for everyone’s breakfast.
Xue Family, worried that Li Yuzhu wouldn’t let her eat, quickly grabbed a bowl.
Princess Consort Luling looked at her disdainfully several times.
The corn mush was the favorite of the two children, and they shared a big bowl.
After breakfast, Li Yuzhu treated Old Qin’s injured leg again.
And wrote him a prescription, telling him to get the medicine according to it.
Farming families are poor and can’t afford a doctor, Li Yuzhu treated him for free, which moved Old Qin to thank her repeatedly.
Mrs. Qin brought her eldest son, the village chief, into the room.
The village chief, hearing that Li Yuzhu’s family had saved his father, thanked them repeatedly, and also said, "Although I’m the village chief of a poor village, I’ll definitely help with whatever I can."
Prince Luling nodded and cupped his hands in thanks, "Then I’ll trouble the village chief."
Li Yuzhu then said, "Qin Lizheng, as for accommodation, Grandpa Qin helped us find it, what I want to ask is, is there any unused wasteland in Taohua River Village? Our family wants a piece of land to farm."
Qin Lizheng said, "There’s no vacant land nearby in this village, it’s all distributed."
Just as Li Yuzhu was disappointed, Qin Lizheng mentioned something.
Qin Lizheng said, "There is quite a bit of wasteland near Niu Tou Mountain, feel free to choose any piece you fancy, once you’ve chosen the place, report back here for a record after I measure it. But after the wasteland becomes fertile, it will be taxed, at eight qian silver per mu each year."
This is the ancient rule, Li Yuzhu expressed understanding.
She smiled and said, "That’s great."
She planned to enclose eight to ten mu, and as for the tax silver, with land and income, that wouldn’t be a problem.
The Great Princess, however, shouted, "Li Yuzhu, are you joking? Asking us to farm? I am after all..." a Princess! She suppressed her anger, "Li Yuzhu, if you want to farm, do it yourself, don’t involve me! I simply can’t!"
She turned her head away.
"I also can’t farm," the Second Princess frowned.
Xue Family found that whenever she spoke, she would be glared at by the Princess Consort and confronted by Li Yuzhu.
She simply kept silent, quietly nudged her husband, gesturing for Li Xingmao to speak up.
