Chapter 50: The Change of Space
Translator: 549690339
Today, Qin Xue made dinner early as she had to go back to the workplace.
She took the bus back to the military compound with Fang Hong and Yu Xiu, along with their two children. Before leaving, she closed the shop’s door:
“Fang Xiu, it’s just you and your son tonight, so be careful. Don’t go out if it’s unnecessary, and don’t open the door for strangers at night, alright?” Qin Xue was worried as she gave a reminder.
“I know, when you guys weren’t around before, I took care of Taotao by myself just fine. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
“It’s not the same as before when your sewing shop was small and nobody thought there was much money to be made there.
But now it’s different; some people might envy our recent success, and they might cause trouble while we’re away.
So you must be careful, alright? Don’t open the door if there’s something wrong.
If you really can’t cope, just shout to attract attention.” Qin Xue kept nagging.
“That’s right, Qin Xue has a point, Fang Xiu, you and your child must be careful,’
Yu Xiu and Fang Hong also thought it was inappropriate, and they reminded Fang Xiu together.
“Alright, I get it, you guys should go back quickly or you might miss the bus.”
Fang Xiu waved goodbye to Qin Xue and the others, her eyes red with emotion. What a blessing it was to have found these true-hearted sisters.
Even with the unfair treatment she got from her previous family, she had no regrets now that she had these sisters.
Jing Xin, are you watching from heaven? We, mother and son, are living well now.
It was already dusk when the five of them returned to the military compound.
Under the dim light, Qin Xue didn’t forget to remind Fang Hong not to share a room with Mr. Xie tonight. She would prepare the medicine herself the next day. The water in the shop’s tank was spiritual spring water, which could be used without her personally preparing it.
“I know, you always worry a lot.” Fang Hong blushed, opening the door to enter.
Qin Xue laughed and opened the door to her house. As she turned on the light, she found the room deserted. It seemed like her cheap husband hadn’t returned yet?
Qin Xue touched the table with her hand and could see the dust patterns on it; it had a thin layer of dust.
Qin Xue filled a basin with water and wiped the tables and chairs clean. After cleaning the kitchen, she thought for a moment and fetched another basin of water. She went into Chu Molin’s room to clean it before coming out to mop the floor.
She didn’t usually feel tired when cleaning, but with her big belly now, it felt exhausting.
Her back ached so much that she could barely straighten up. She put away the mop and dumped out the water before grabbing her clothes and entering the space.
“Master, you’re here!” Xue Ling happily ran over to Qin Xue when she saw her.
“Yeah, I haven’t been here for just one day, and the space seems different now.” Qin Xue looked around at everything in the space.
She had divided the land in the space into several parts.
There were fields for rice, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and a piece for various vegetables.
The fishlings Qin Xue had caught had grown and reproduced, looking plump and delicious. They made her crave fish soup, so she planned to make some after her prenatal checkup at the hospital tomorrow.
On the peach blossom grove side, she had fenced off an area with bamboo to raise several laying hens and gotten many eggs. She also raised some roosters for meat.
Li Zhao had helped her find the rice seeds. She had planted all these things secretly in the space when no one was around.
She had bought the chicks discreetly at the market while handing out flyers and snuck them into the space when no one was looking. These were just some of the things she had accumulated in her space.
Even if Qin Xue stopped working in the future, the items in the space alone could provide a good life. As they had more and more things in the space, she found out that the land would expand.
After asking Xue Ling, she learned that it was a labor welfare benefit given by cultivators in the past.
However, the question remained – how could the rice in the space be turned into edible grains once they were out of the space?
Qin Xue picked two tomatoes to eat before stripping off her clothes and getting into the pool. It felt so comfortable, with all her pores opening up in relaxation. She sighed contentedly with her eyes closed.
After soaking for half an hour, she finally got out and put on clothes..
