My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

Synopsis

# SPATIAL # DAILYFAMILYLIFE

After a car accident, a modern loving couple, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui, both transmigrated through space. Zhou Ying became a jinx everyone despised and had difficulty getting a full meal. Gu Chengrui became the son of a wealthy, cold, and violent family. They hated him and were indifferent to his wife. With no one to love or care for the couple, they made a decision. They decided to split up from the family! They were penniless in their new house, which had nothing. But there's nothing to be afraid of! They had their interspace and wisdom to get rid of poverty and get rich in minutes! As the days started getting better, trouble came knocking on their door. The family wanted them to go back to being their mule? No way! The couple stood united and called them out on it, refusing to go back! Their old rival, a father-daughter pair, wanted to steal their house? The couple rolled up their sleeves and clashed with them head-on! After much difficulty, they finally had peace, but then a disaster that happens once every thousand years came...

"Knock, knock ..."

Curses followed a series of rapid knocks on the door." Jinx, where's the food? What time is it already? Why aren't you getting up to cook? You'll suffer if the old Madam is hungry."

After Zhou Ying was woken up, she sat up and wanted to retort back. But when she saw the pile of firewood in front of her and the frozen fat little hand in front of her, she was stunned. She then panicked and directly swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She clearly remembered getting into a car accident while driving with her husband to Food City. It was a city built under her name, and they went there to attend the anniversary celebration.

But where was this place... And who was the person shouting outside ...?

At this time, her body couldn't help but shiver, and her stomach also felt a burst of pain. That feeling of extreme cold and extreme hunger tormented her until she felt dizzy and felt like she had almost lost her life again.

In a daze, memories flashed through her mind like a movie, and she realized she had transmigrated into another world.

She transmigrated into the body of a new bride, Zhou Ying, who had the same name as her. She was married to bring luck to the groom's family, a custom to bless someone deathly sick with good luck in hopes they would recover from their illness.

The target to bring blessings from her marriage was the Imperial merchant Gu family's sick matriarch, who was also her current husband's mother. She was the respected Noble Princess, Ping Yang.

The tragic thing was that the princess passed away on the night her original self married.

The next day, after the princess's death, the Gu family was sent to prison for smuggling salt. Ultimately, all their assets were confiscated, and they were sent back to their original hometown.

In the end, the Gu family pushed all the blame onto her host. They blamed her, saying she was a jinx and a disaster magnet. Since then, she became the most despicable person in their household, who was required to wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and eat less than cats.

Although her husband, Gu Chengrui, had the same name as her original husband, their personalities were the exact opposite.

He clearly knew that his family was taking their anger out on her, but he had never protected her. He had always been cold to her and always ignored her.

He would always order her around if he weren't condemning her, and he didn't have any self-awareness of being her husband.

However, as a concubine's son whose mother had died, his situation was not much better than the original her. Two days ago, he had suffered from a cold and didn't even get a single copper coin for his treatment.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of her husband, a military doctor, Gu Chengrui.

He was not good at sweet-talking, but he would cook for her. He would study hard to learn all kinds of skills and protect her in times of danger.

"Jinx, get up and cook. Are you looking for a beating..." At that moment, the knocking on the door was getting louder and louder, as if the person was going to rush in at any moment.

"I hear you. I'll be right there." At this moment, a hoarse male voice rang out from her side. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sounds of coughing and wheezing. She could tell that there was inflammation in his lungs.

"Then hurry up. Why aren't you getting up at this time? "You're so lazy." The person replied with dissatisfaction, then turned around and left.

At the same time, Zhou Ying turned her head and looked at the man sitting next to her in shock. He was her "husband" who had never helped the original her at all.

No, he was not a man. He looked more like a 17 or 18-year-old boy. He was tall and handsome and looked quite similar to her original husband.

However, the boy's face was ashen, and he was as thin as a matchstick. He squinted his eyes and leaned against the firewood, looking like he was about to die at any moment.

Regardless, his upper body was standing straight up against the wall, as determined as a soldier who was determined to defend his position.

As she thought of this, she couldn't help but tear up.

After sensing that she was looking at him, the boy immediately raised his eyes and looked at her. At first, he was alert, with a glint of sharpness in his eyes. But soon, his eyes were full of kindness.

This was because his original wife was a traditional newly-wedded woman who was named a jinx and rejected by others after failing to bless their family with her marriage.

After nearly a month of torment, she had become numb and self-abased, so it was impossible for her to look at him so daringly.

Especially when he saw the tears of excitement in her eyes, he was even more confident in his guess.

The two of them shouted excitedly at the same time. "Brother Rui!" "Baby!"

Then, Zhou Ying threw herself into his arms and cried, "You fool, you could have dodged it. Why did you come to save me?"

"If I hadn't, how else would we be fated to be husband and wife again in this life?" Gu Chengrui hugged her back and chuckled.

However, tears also started to well in his eyes. He had thought they would be separated after death, but he did not expect they would be fated to continue to be together in this life. When he thought of this, he hugged her tightly, turning his head and gently kissing her cheek.

But his kiss fell on nothing because Zhou Ying had already raised her head and reached out to his head and neck. "It's so hot. I have to lower your temperature immediately. "

After saying that, she left his arms and tried to contact her interspace.

It was a space that had followed her since she was young, a space that she couldn't see the end of.

It was surrounded by seawater, and there was only an island in the middle that was about 1000 square kilometers in size.

There were mountains, water, and fields on the island, like a heavenly garden.

As long as the interspace was still there, she would not have to worry about food and clothing no matter where she went.

After confirming that the connection was still there, she was overjoyed and said, "Brother Rui, wait a moment. I'll go to the interspace to get special fever medicine, food, and clothes."

Gu Chengrui's eyes lit up. "Okay, remember to take some medicine yourself. Just in case."

Zhou Ying nodded in response and immediately flashed into her interspace.

She did not stay after confirming the realm was still full of life, along with the cattle and sheep. She immediately went to the river that ran through the entire interspace to wash her hands.

Then, she went to a warehouse inside a palace and took two cups of millet porridge, four veggie buns, a stack of cold medicine, and a few tablets of fever medicine. Finally, she also found two sets of thermal wear.

After leaving the space, Zhou Ying put the food and medicine aside and said, "Put this on to keep warm first. It's too cold today. "

After saying that, she took out a men's sweater and helped him put it on. She then covered him with the old quilt and handed him the porridge.

Gu Chengrui took it and said, "You should eat quickly too. Don't go starving."

Zhou Ying nodded and quickly changed her clothes. She had a cup of millet porridge, a bun, and four cold medicine tablets. After that, she said, "I'm going to cook now. We'll discuss further when you're a little better."

"Alright, we'll leave after I recover. We can't stay in this house any longer." Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

Otherwise, he would only be a burden if he went out in his current state.

The key was that, based on the current situation, he was the only one who could bring up the matter of splitting up with the family. If Zhou Ying was the one bringing it up, not only would it not solve the problem, but she might also be viewed with hostility and even get beaten up.

Zhou Ying responded, turned around, and walked out of the woodshed with a bunch of firewood. When she saw the standard double-door courtyard with black tiles and green bricks outside, she really felt bad for the original couple. It seemed that they really had to leave this family as soon as possible.

After that, she turned around and entered the kitchen next to them. After looking at the prepared ingredients, she couldn't be bothered to do something different. Instead, she cooked a pot of millet porridge, a tray of white steamed buns, fried cabbage in vinegar sauce, and mixed it with a plate of shredded salted vegetables according to how the original her cooked.

When she was almost done with her work, everyone got up one after another.

At the same time, she also recognized that the one who had woken her up before was the new wife of the Gu family's household, Mrs. Liu, and she had been promoted from a concubine.

She was a middle-aged woman with beautiful looks.

Perhaps it was because she had been suppressed too much by the princess in the past. Once promoted, she became arrogant and wanted to show off her authority everywhere. Instead of appearing dignified, she seemed to be copying the late princess.

At the same time, she also realized that the Gu family was large. First of all, was the eldest matriarch of the Gu family, Gu Chengrui's biological grandmother, Mrs. Qiao.

The main family branch that the couple was staying in now had one wife and one concubine, four children consisting of two boys and two girls, and her, their daughter-in-law.

There were even more people in the second family branch. They had one wife and two concubines, with five children, consisting of two boys and three girls. There was also Mrs. Yang, the wife of the eldest son, Gu Chengzhi, and the child in her stomach.

As far as she knew, this was not all of them. After leaving the capital, all the concubines in the two family branches who did not bear children were dismissed on the spot.

Therefore, she and Gu Chengrui were the only children his father disliked and had no mother. Naturally, they were bullied.

After the meal was ready, a group of women quickly helped her to place the food in the dining hall.

They sat at two tables, one for the men and one for the women.

The dishes on the table were the same, but there were more steamed buns on the men's table.

After everyone sat down, Zhou Ying found that there was no seat for her. At this time, she also remembered that the original her had not eaten at the table since she entered the Gu family.

When she thought of this, she felt a burst of anger. Seeing that there were still three steamed buns in the basket, she picked them up and turned to leave.

"Jinx, what are you doing? You can't eat steamed buns. Put them down." Mrs. Liu stood up and said.

"Aren't the steamed buns there for people to eat? Why can't I eat them?" Zhou Ying turned her head and asked with a smile.

Then, she grabbed a steamed bun and took a bite. She even chewed a few times, loudly on purpose. She didn't look like she was eating a steamed bun, looking as if she was chewing them up on purpose.

"You... You jinx. It's already good enough that you have something to eat. How dare you eat those steamed buns?" Mrs. Liu raised her hand and pointed at her angrily.

After she finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to grab it, but the old Madam Qiao saw Zhou Ying's abnormal attitude and immediately stopped her. "Alright, she's been busy the whole morning. It's just a steamed bun. Just let her eat it. She can just put the other two down."

Everything in and out of the house depended on her, especially in the kitchen. If she really made a fuss and shirked the responsibility, it would be troublesome for them.

"Madam, Chengrui hasn't eaten yet. He's sick and can't survive without staple food. So, I have to take these two steamed buns with me." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she got ready to head out again.

At that moment, her older brother-in-law, Gu Chengzhi, stood up and stopped her. "Sister-in-law, you're going too far. You and your husband don't work, so you two can just share one bun. We still have to work in the workshop after dinner. We can't take it if we don't have enough."

"Not working?" Zhou Ying turned her head and asked with a faint smile.

Then, she waved her hand in front of his eyes and said, "We, husband and wife, do all the dirty and tiring work in this house. You should be very clear about this."

Gu Chengzhi looked at her hands, which were rougher and redder than his own, and he didn't know what to say.

"Jinx, how could you speak like this to your older brother-in-law..." When her second aunt, Mrs. Yao, heard her words, she immediately slammed the table and stood up.

Without waiting for her to finish, Zhou Ying immediately said, "Stop. I think you know better than I do why the princess died and why the Gu family was raided.

Don't push everything on me, and don't call me a jinx. I don't think I am worthy of being called that. "

"Where's your upbringing? Is this how the Zhou family taught you to speak to your elders?" The old madam put down her chopsticks and shouted angrily.

"Respect is mutual. We're about to die, so who cares about being polite?" Zhou Ying turned her head and looked straight at her.

The old madam was at a loss for words when she saw Zhou Ying's calm and sharp eyes. She asked, in confusion, "What do you mean you two are going to die? Aren't you still alive and well?"

"Really? I was considered slightly chubby when I married into the Gu family. But look at my face now. I've lost so much weight in less than a month that I'm only left with a layer of skin." When Zhou Ying said this, she deliberately pulled the skin on her face.

She then continued, "The nights these days are cold and long. Who could stand eating just porridge and doing heavy work every day?

"Last night, if it weren't for the warm water left on the stove, we would've frozen to death in the woodshed.

"Also, my husband's illness has been dragged on by the cold wind to become a lung inflammation. I'm afraid it will endanger his life if it's not treated. "When Zhou Ying said this, she lowered her head and looked at the steamed bun in her hands. "So, not only does he need the steamed buns, but he also needs medical treatment. Look..."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. Although lung inflammation wasn't an incurable disease, the medicine used wouldn't be cheap.

"It's just a cold. It'll pass soon. It's not that serious." Mrs. Liu unhappily said, not waiting for the old madam to open her mouth.

"Cough, cough ..." Gu Chengrui lifted the curtain and slowly walked in, accompanied by a series of heart-wrenching coughs.

Everyone immediately looked at him. When they saw his ashen face and skinny body, they were all shocked.

Especially the old madam. She really didn't expect that in just two days, the young man would become like this.

It was no wonder Zhou Ying, who had always been silent and submissive, was full of thorns today. She was even dissing whoever she could.

"Good morning, old madam, father, mother, second uncle, and second aunt." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he gave a simple bow. Then, according to the original him's attitude, he looked at Zhou Ying and complained, "Why didn't you call me when it's time to eat?"

"It's my fault. Your body is weak. You should sit down first. "Zhou Ying's lips curved up as she immediately helped him to the men's seats.

Mr. Gu quickly raised his hand to stop them. "Since you're sick, go back to your room and eat. Don't give everyone else your sickness."

Gu Chengrui raised his head and looked at him coldly. He coughed and said, "You're right, but I'm afraid I can't get through this illness. Father, please give me some money to go to town and get some medicine. "

"Money, money. How can we still have money at home? It's just a cold. After dinner, you can ask your wife to make you a bowl of ginger soup and sweat it out." Mrs. Liu didn't wait for Mr. Gu to speak and directly replied.

Gu Chengrui did not even look at Mrs. Liu after hearing this. He wasn't born from Mrs. Liu's womb, so her attitude was unimportant. How he would get along with them in the future would ultimately depend on his father, Mr. Gu's, attitude.

Unfortunately, Mr. Gu had no feelings for him to begin with. In addition to the recent series of blows, he subconsciously avoided the truth and decided to put all the blame on the couple. Otherwise, Mrs. Liu would not have dared to target and torment them like this.

Therefore, he only glanced at him indifferently and said, "Listen to your mother, we really don't have any money."

"Is that so? Let's ignore that our relatives and friends gave us silver when we left the capital, a total of 50 taels of silver that we passed to the family.

After returning to the village, the family received a hundred taels of dividends from the family's oil mill. Was it all spent in less than ten days? "Gu Chengrui sneered.

"After we returned, we spent on food, clothes, beds, and furniture. Do you think we could do much with a hundred taels of silver?" Mrs. Liu counted with her fingers.

"That's right. On the way home, the officers exploited us a great deal. There was nothing left of the silver others gave us." Second Aunt Mrs. Yao agreed.

Gu Chengrui's heart turned cold, but at the same time, he was happy. The more ruthless they were today, the less guilt he would have in the future.

As they were at an impasse, he swept his gaze across the room. Other than a teenager from the second branch, Gu Chengxi, who had no say in this and cast a sympathetic look at him, the others were either indifferent, ignoring him, or straight up disdainful. In short, nobody cared about him, let alone spoke up for him.

After another bout of coughing, Gu Chengrui looked at his father and said, "Since this family can't accommodate the two of us, let's just separate. We'll accept our fate, dead or alive."

"Third brother, what are you saying? We're all family. Why are you splitting up?

"Besides, who says this family can't accommodate you two?" The old madam quickly said.

Gu Chengrui turned to look at the old lady and said, "Old madam, does the family really not even have the money to treat your grandson's cold?

"Do you really not know what we've been through in the past half a month?

"Who here treats us as a family? Our treatment is probably even worse than that of a servant. "

"You ..." The three questions made the old madam lost for words.

She knew that even she had some spare money, let alone her two daughters-in-law.

However, things were different now, so she had to keep some just in case.

Thinking of this, she could only look at Mrs. Liu, hoping she could take out some silver to keep them.

But Mrs. Liu met her eyes and avoided them.

Her son and daughter were already of marriageable age.

Their family didn't have a decent income, so how could they give money to others?

Not to mention, if Gu Chengrui stayed at home, he would get a share of the family property if Mr. Gu died early. It was better to take advantage of this and directly shoo him away to save the trouble.

Seeing Mrs. Liu's reaction, Mr. Gu naturally understood what she meant, so he directly said, "Then let's split. But other than the things in your house, there's nothing else for you."

"It seems my father doesn't want me as a son anymore. That's fine. In the future, whether we live or die will be our fate." At this point, Gu Chengrui coughed twice and took two deep breaths before saying, "However, words need to be written as proof. I'll have to trouble you to go with me to the family leader to write a written proof and the village chief to separate our household registration."

"You ..." Mr. Gu was furious after hearing that.

At the same time, his expression was a little unnatural.

A few days ago, he almost had a fall out with the family leader because he wanted to get back a hundred acres of land that he had entrusted to the clan to look after in the early years, as well as the dividends from the workshop and the two officers' positions.

If the family leader knew that he had separated his son from the family without giving a thing, who knows how he would laugh at him?

However, he felt increasingly uncomfortable when he met Gu Chengrui's firm eyes. In addition, Zhou Ying had already started to rebel. Thus, he felt it was better to kick them out of the house now. Therefore, he returned to the house to get the household registration book and said, "Then hurry up. The family leader will be going out in a while."

Gu Chengrui responded and gently patted Zhou Ying's hand away. "Pack up our things and wait for me at home."

Zhou Ying nodded. She quickly ate the steamed bun in her hand. Then, she put down the lunch box and went to the kitchen to drink the remaining millet porridge. After that, she went back to her room to pack up.

However, there wasn't much to pack. They each had a change of clothes, an old quilt, and a piece of coarse cloth curtain used to block the window. A bag was enough for them to pack it all up.

There were also two paper cups and the remaining medicine that Gu Chengrui had hidden. She put them away in her interspace.

As for the people in the dining hall, they were eating and drinking as they should. No one came to greet them.

Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, looked out from time to time. She was looking concerned, guarding against Zhou Ying for fear that she would steal things from the house.

On the other hand, Gu Chengrui coughed non-stop when he came out of the door after catching a cold breeze. By the time he reached the family leader's house, his face and neck were already red from coughing.

When the family leader saw this, he looked at him with disdain and asked them to sit down. He asked, "What's the matter, coming here with you and your father?"

"Big brother, my third son wants to be separated. Please help me write a record." Mr. Gu said.

Seeing this, the family leader looked at Gu Chengrui in dissatisfaction and said, "Chengrui, right? Your grandmother and parents are both still alive and well. It's against the rules for you to suggest splitting up at this time. "

"Uncle, please do it for your nephew." Gu Chengrui raised his head and looked at him hesitantly. In the end, he sighed and shut his mouth.

However, he quickly turned his head and bent over to cover his mouth as he coughed non-stop. He coughed so violently that it was as if he wanted to cough out his lungs at any moment.

The family leader frowned. "Why didn't you find a doctor to take a look at him? He's coughing so much. Don't drag it out any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Gu only nodded nonchalantly and did not reply.

Gu Chengrui, on the other hand, had a bitter look on his face, but he had no intention of speaking.

The leader could tell from their reactions that something was amiss. In addition to the rumors that circulated in the village, he did not try to persuade them any further. Instead, he asked, "Have you discussed what to give your third son?"

"Just the things in his room." Mr. Gu said vaguely.

After the family leader heard this, he looked at the father and son in surprise. However, seeing that Gu Chengrui had no intention of fighting for it, he was too lazy to care. He got up and returned to the room to take out some stationery and draft the documents for their separation.

At the end of his writing, he raised his head and asked the father and son, "Then what do you say about filial piety after the separation?"

"If he has some, then give some. If he doesn't, then forget it." Mr. Gu said.

Gu Chengrui heard his vague words and quickly said, "Although I didn't get any of the family property, my father raised me, so I will give my dues according to the normal customs of the village.

"I will share the medical expenses with my second brother if my father is sick. But I will not be giving him the usual filial piety dues.

Of course, Mrs. Liu is an exception to this. "

Although he and his girl didn't have any assets on the surface, they were undoubtedly rich just from the things in the interspace. Also, it was only a matter of time before they became the wealthiest people in the region. He didn't want them to latch themselves onto him in the future.

Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, but then he looked away as if nothing had been said.

On the other hand, the family leader looked at Gu Chengrui and nodded in satisfaction. "That's reasonable. But you can't just stand by and watch if your father is sick and bedridden. "

"I will." Gu Chengrui nodded heavily.

After the family leader wrote this down, he made two copies. Then, the three signed and stamped their thumbprints, each holding one copy.

After leaving the family leader's house, the father and son went to the village head's house to talk about the household registration. This time, it was unknown whether Mr. Gu wanted to save face or was really that eager to get rid of them, but he took the initiative to pay the processing fee.

After Mr. Gu left, Gu Chengrui looked at the village chief and asked, "Grandpa Qian, is there any house in the village that I can rent?"

After a moment of hesitation, the village chief replied, "I don't know about this. I'll ask around for you later, but you have to pay more attention to it."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he bowed and turned to leave.

Just as he arrived back at the Gu family, he met Zhou Ying, who was carrying a large bag and was driven out by Mrs. Liu.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui coldly glanced at Mrs. Liu. After seeing her retreat, he took Zhou Ying's bag from her and left.

Zhou Ying immediately followed him. When she saw him coughing non-stop, she quickly took out a small bottle of cough syrup from her interspace and handed it to him. "Rui, you should drink a bottle of cough syrup first."

Gu Chengrui looked at the small medicine bottle in front of him. He grabbed her hand and scanned their surroundings.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, he whispered, "Hurry up and put it away. I can still hold it in. After we have settled down, I'll just get two bottles of IV into me."

Hearing this, Zhou Ying put the cough syrup back into her interspace and said, "Alright then, don't force yourself."

"Don't worry. I'm much better after taking medicine this morning. "

"By the way, where are we going?"

"You know about the Mother God Temple halfway up the mountain, right?"

Zhou Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen that before. Although it's a little shabby, it's a good place to stay for the time being after some simple cleaning."

Thus, the two of them helped each other up the mountain.

When they arrived at the Mother God Temple, Gu Chengrui was coughing so much that he could not stand up straight.

Zhou Ying glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, she said, "Rui, you can't delay your illness any longer. I'll send you into my interspace to get two IV bottles into you."

After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she immediately looked around to ensure no one was nearby. Then, she helped him into the Mother God Temple.

She helped him to the back of a statue and brought him into the space, reaching the villa they had built by the river.

After helping Gu Chengrui lie down on the bed, Zhou Ying asked him for a list of his needed medicines. Then, she went to the warehouse to prepare the medicines, put him on an IV drip, and made him a cup of honey water as he requested.

After his condition had stabilized, she took a bucket of water and a broom from the space.

After that, she cleaned up the Mother God Temple, which was close to a hundred square feet in size, and sprayed a large amount of disinfectant.

After cleaning up, Zhou Ying looked at the statue of the Mother God that had been weathered, all shabby looking. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt sad and thought the statue looked dear to her.

"I have no choice but to stay here. Sorry for the disturbance," she bowed respectfully.

Afterward, she took a rope from her interspace and went outside to pick up some firewood. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if someone found out that there were no signs of them living in the temple.

After she came out, she realized that the river running through the village was right below the Mother God Temple. This was a good place, with a mountain next to a river.

Then, she went directly up the mountain but did not get much firewood. Instead, she found a small nest of licorice, which she dug out and tied up.

After she was done digging, her stomach began to growl. She carried the licorice on her back and returned to the Mother God Temple.

After putting down the firewood, she walked behind the statue and stayed there for a while. After making sure that no one was nearby, she entered her interspace with the licorice.

As soon as she arrived at the villa's entrance, she smelled the fragrance of cooking meat. She quickly put down the licorice and went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Then, she turned around and walked into the kitchen. When she saw the busy figure inside, she walked over and put her arms around his waist from behind. "Why didn't you wait for me to come back? You're still coughing so badly. You shouldn't be inhaling the smell of smoke."

"I had nothing to do, so I stir-fried a plate of veggies and pressure cooked some pork ribs along with corn soup." Gu Chengrui smiled and turned his head.

Then, he looked up, picked up a dead leaf on her head, and said, "Hurry up and set up the table. We'll be eating soon."

"Yes, sir." Zhou Ying responded, turned around, and took two sets of bowls and chopsticks. She carried the garlic-flavored veggies to the dining room.

On the other hand, Gu Chengrui had also finished cooking. He placed the ribs into the soup and followed her.

After that, they sat down and had a good meal. After the meal, Gu Chengrui took a tissue from the side and handed it to her. "Baby, did you get anything from the mountain?"

"I was going to pick up some firewood, but there really wasn't much to pick up in the outer area. I did find a small nest of licorice and brought it back."

"Licorice?" Gu Chengrui's eyes lit up, and he continued, "This place is about five miles away from town. Let's go to town in the afternoon.

"Take the licorice you dug up and some red sage and astragalus from the mountains in your interspace.

"Buy a pot or a crock when you return, and some food as a cover. "

"But your body..." Zhou Ying was concerned.

"I'm fine. The medicine has already taken effect. I can handle it."

"Alright, then you can boil a kettle of water to drink. I'll go wash the dishes." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

After washing the dishes, she went to the warehouse again to get more medicine. But this time, it was an amount large enough for him to use for three days.

After that, the two drank some water and rested for a while. After he drank his medicine, the two took their tools and went up the mountain.

Then, according to Gu Chengrui's instructions, she dug out about two pounds of red sage and five pounds of astragalus before stopping.

They stopped in front of an apple tree. Zhou Ying reached out and picked two, then handed one to Gu Chengrui. She turned around and sat on a big rock, eating the apple while scanning the entire island with her mind.

To the east of the island was a group of mountains, covering an area of nearly 100 square kilometers. However, it had been slowly transformed by the two of them.

Now, in addition to some precious medicinal herbs and trees, they had also planted all kinds of fruit trees, dried fruit trees, tea trees, and all kinds of medicinal herbs.

Of course, they also raised a batch of bees, which could produce a large amount of honey every year.

The river flowing down the mountain divided the land at the foot of the mountain into two, but it was not even. One side was larger than the other, about a two-to-one ratio.

There were all kinds of freshwater fish and prawns in the river. Because of the rapid flow of the river at the foot of the mountain, they had also built a small hydraulic power station, which could supply electricity for the entire interspace.

On the smaller side of the plain, she had plowed it into a field and planted sweet potatoes and taro. Now, there were herds of cattle and sheep on it. In the middle, there were also donkeys, deer, pigs, and various kinds of livestock, such as chickens.

At the same time, they also planted some trees in the fields, such as coconuts, olives, bay laurel, and some other oil-based trees, which were just enough to separate the various groups of animals.

Something worth mentioning was that there were also some sea ducks and swallows herding near the grass on the beach. In the past, just the sea duck eggs and birdnests were a significant income.

On the larger side of the plain next to the river, was their small two-story villa at the foot of the mountain. Below it was an industrial area of about 100 acres and a drying area of 100 acres.

They were all factories with extremely low pollution for processing agricultural products and food.

Behind the industrial area was the palace that was initially present in the interspace that covered an area of ten acres. There was a warehouse with no end in sight, storing a large number of materials that they had prepared for a possible apocalypse.

They couldn't enter any of the other rooms except for the study room, which was one of the reasons why they had built another villa.

The rest of the land was planted with all kinds of crops.

Because the interspace was similar to a subtropical climate, they could plant three seasons in a year, giving them an impressive annual output. Of course, the labor needed was quite large.

Fortunately, the interspace had a user-friendly option when it came to farming. She could control her interspace with her mental power, and the river water could fertilize the fields. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to manage all of these.

At the same time, Gu Chengrui, who had sat down with her, finished an apple and bumped into her. "You are surveying the mountains and rivers again. Have there been any changes?"

"Yes, the crops are almost ripe. We'll be busy tonight."

"Then I'll extract some peanut oil for later." Gu Chengrui helped her up after he finished speaking.

After that, the two brought the medicinal herbs down the mountain and packed them separately into a broken sack. Gu Chengrui carried them on his back and left the interspace to rush to town.

When they met other people on the way, the two greeted them politely regardless of their attitude.

The first was to win the villagers' favor so they could integrate into the village as soon as possible.

The other reason was to let them know they went to town to sell medicinal herbs. It was an excuse for their money source so that Mrs. Liu would not frame them for stealing money in the future.

When they arrived in the town, Zhou Ying found that this small town was really lively. It was especially so at the pier outside the town, which was densely packed with all kinds of people.

"I heard that the Gu family used to rely on river transportation to make a fortune, right?" she turned to ask Gu Chengrui.

"Yes, at first it was river transportation, then it developed into sea transportation. It can be said that transportation is the Gu family's pillar industry.

This small town is really a good place with connections. As long as you have the brains, you can still make a living even if you don't make a fortune. "

"It seems like we have to make a good plan."

"Yes, but we have to do it slowly. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if we get targeted." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he pulled her hand and walked forward.

On the way, they found a tea stall and inquired about the various medicine shops in the town. The two went directly to the poorest medicine shop owned by the Luo family.

Because one of the other two shops was owned by the Gu family's rival, the Qiao family, and they had been suppressing the Gu family during this period of time. If they were recognized, they would only be humiliated.

The other family that owned the other shop had connections with the capital, so they naturally didn't want to go there.

"Dear guests, do you want to see the doctor or get medicine?" As soon as they entered, a boy grinding medicinal herbs at the counter immediately stood up and greeted them.

"I'm here for the doctor to get medicine but also to sell medicine." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he placed the sack against the counter.

When the boy saw this, he opened the sack and took a look. When he saw the medicinal ginseng inside, he immediately greeted them warmly and asked them to sit down. "Wait a moment. I'll go find my master."

After he finished, he ran to the back door and shouted, "Master, there's a patient."

After that, he sat down and started to grind the herbs again.

Not long after, a white-haired old man walked out and sat in front of a table. "Young man, come over and sit."

Gu Chengrui stood up, walked over, and sat down. He stretched out his hand and said, "You're amazing. You could tell at a glance that I'm the one who needs treating."

At the same time, Zhou Ying also perked up her ears to listen.

"Although the Luo family's medical skills are not well-known, they have been passed down for a hundred years. Some common diseases should not be a problem for me." Doctor Luo replied, then closed his eyes and took Gu Chengrui's pulse seriously.

After a moment, he looked at him with a surprised face and said, "Have you taken any medicine? The effect is quite good."

Gu Chengrui was convinced of his skills now. He then nodded and said, "An elder gave it to me, but I've finished it."

"Do you know the prescription? The medicine is very effective." Doctor Luo hurriedly asked.

Gu Chengrui shook his head. "I don't know. But I heard it's a pill made after concentrating some essence."

After Doctor Luo heard this, he nodded thoughtfully. Then, he wrote a prescription for him and said, "Take three of them and let's see how it would go."

After he finished writing, he handed the prescription to his apprentice.

Gu Chengrui stood up and called Zhou Ying over. "Doctor Luo, I'll have to trouble you to take a look at my wife."

Doctor Luo nodded and took Zhou Ying's pulse. "Mental and physical fatigue, malnutrition, and a chilly body.

"You will have to be more careful in the future. Otherwise, it'll be complicated to get pregnant."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to prescribe two doses of medicine for her to recuperate." Gu Chengrui said.

"I'll prescribe her two doses of cold-expelling medicine. As for the rest, it will have to rely on her to rest to heal."

"Understood." Gu Chengrui nodded.

After the doctor finished writing the prescription, Gu Chengrui carried the sack over and said, "There are also some wild medicinal herbs here. Please help me take a look."

"Oh," Doctor Luo replied, with curiosity. When he saw the sage, which was a type of red sage, his eyes lit up excitedly. "Red sage, a good quality red sage!"

"Ahem." The apprentice coughed and reminded him.

He was reminding the doctor that he was overly excited. Wouldn't this clearly tell them that they lacked this medicine?

Gu Chengrui glanced at him, then asked Doctor Luo curiously, "Why? Is this red sage very rare?"

The growing conditions for red sage were not harsh, so it should not be that rare.

At this time, Doctor Luo also realized that he had lost his composure and had even revealed his bottom line. He could only laugh dryly and reply, "The red sage is not hard to come by, but there is a drought in the northern part of the country, so the production is low, and the quality is poor."

"A drought in the north? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"It's not too serious, so it hasn't spread yet, but the reduction in production is certain."

"Then what is the price of this red sage?"

"Although your red sage is good, it's a fresh one, so I can only give you 100 copper coins." Doctor Luo rubbed his chin and pondered.

Gu Chengrui heard the high price and nodded. "Then, please take a look at the astragalus and licorice," Wang Yao said.

Doctor Luo opened it and took a look. As the quality wasn't bad, he directly said, "The price of the astragalus is 20 copper coins per pound, and the price of licorice is only 5 copper coins per pound."

"Sure, please weigh it."

"Sure, wait a moment." After Doctor Luo finished speaking, he went to the back and took a scale, weighing them one by one.

Two pounds of red sage, five pounds of astragalus, and 15 pounds of licorice. In total, they got 375 copper coins. After deducting the 75 copper coins for the medicine money, the two of them had 300 copper coins left.

When Doctor Luo sent them out enthusiastically, he said, "If the two of you have time, you can find more red sages. If the quality is good, I will take them all."

"Alright, I'll remember this." Gu Chengrui cupped his hands in salute and left the medicine shop with Zhou Ying.

Gu Chengrui turned his head when they were outside and said, "Babe, think about what we should buy."

Zhou Ying pondered and replied, "A pot, rice, salt, and vegetables are just what we need. We'll think about the rest later."

"You're right. Let's take a look at the rice and noodles first." Gu Chengrui pointed at the grain store not far away after he finished.

Zhou Ying nodded and followed him.

"What would you like to buy, dear customers?" The shop assistant said politely after letting them in.

"What's the price of this refined rice?" Gu Chengrui pointed at the rice in the best condition and asked.

"The polished rice is 8 copper coins. The crushed rice and unpolished rice are 6 copper coins." The shop assistant replied.

"What about white flour?" Zhou Ying asked, pointing at the yellowish-white flour.

"8 copper coins on the polished flour, 5 copper coins on the unrefined ones." The shop assistant turned his head and said. Then, he saw her walk to the millet section and said, "Both millet and long grain rice are 5 copper coins each, river planted rice is 10 copper coins, and sorghum rice is 3 copper coins."

After Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui looked at each other, they were both astonished. It seemed that the prices here were not low. No wonder Mrs. Liu had to calculate their food expenses.

"Then give us five pounds of polished rice and two pounds of millet," Zhou Ying said. "As for the bags, we'll buy them from the shop."

"Alright, please wait a moment." The shop assistant replied and turned around to weigh the items.

Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui walked around the shop seriously and found that all the grains were processed quite crudely.

Take the polished rice, for example. There were still some rice grains with broken shells inside.

The refined flour couldn't even be held up to the standards they had in their world in the 80s. It seemed that he would have to change the standard of their flour when he processed them in the future.

After the two of them left the grain shop, they went to buy a pot and some salt.

These two were even more expensive. The salt was 20 copper coins per pound, and it was a large grain salt. Thus, they only asked for half a pound to put up a front.

A three-liter double-handle cast iron pot actually costs 150 copper, and a hatchet costs 50 copper coins.

They did not have many copper coins left after leaving the blacksmith shop.

Therefore, the two had to go back. On the way, they spent fifteen copper coins to buy a pound of lard, five copper to buy a bamboo chopping board, and finally two copper to buy two small cabbages.

By the time the two of them returned to the Mother God temple, the sun was about to set. Gu Chengrui put down his things and said, "Babe, take out the pot and knife. I'll go and get some firewood."

"Alright, come back soon." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took a bucket of water from her interspace, then found two stones to prop up a stove. She then used hot water to wash the pot, knife, and chopping board.

Then, she squeezed out some hot oil and soaked the pot, knife, and chopping board with it before letting them dry.

Then, she took out a piece of tofu, two handfuls of vermicelli, and a claypot from her interspace. She made a claypot of tofu and cabbage.

At this moment, she realized that they hadn't prepared any bowls or spoons, so she had to take one from her interspace.

When she was almost done with her work, Gu Chengrui returned with a small bundle of firewood.

Zhou Ying immediately went up and reached out to take the firewood.

Gu Chengrui dodged." I'll do it. Don't get your hands dirty."

After he finished speaking, he put the firewood aside and threw a few logs into the fire." I remember that there was a lot of firewood stored in the space. I will take out some more later. The wind outside is quite cold, and the fire should stay lit."

"Okay, wash your hands, and let's eat first. We'll talk after dinner." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took out six fist-sized steamed buns from her space.

After the two of them had a hot meal, they sat around the fire to boil the medicine.

After finishing their medicine, Zhou Ying put the claypot, bowls, and utensils back into her interspace. She turned her head and saw Gu Chengrui staring at the moon through the window. She pursed her lips and walked over to sit on the stone beside him. "Are you homesick?"

Gu Chengrui lifted his hand and pulled her into his arms. "That's right. I wonder how things are at home. Will that kid, Chengjun, be able to take over?"

"Don't worry, don't be fooled by that kid's flippant attitude. He's pretty intelligent and filial. Without you in front of him, he'll definitely take over.

"As for money, with the ecological farms and Food City we left behind, as long as he manages it well, he can live without worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. "

Gu Chengrui grunted softly. He turned his head and kissed her forehead gently. He hugged her tightly and did not say anything else.

Zhou Ying also cooperated by leaning into his arms, finding a comfortable position, and closing her eyes.

At the same time, she felt a little melancholic because she had no one else to worry about other than him.

In her previous life, her parents divorced when she was three years old and left her to her grandfather, who was a chef.

In the second year of middle school, her grandfather suddenly passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage. Her father even took back the old house and savings under the urging of her stepmother.

If not for the interspace, she would not even be able to survive, let alone go to school.

It was not until she met Gu Chengrui in the martial arts club in college that she felt truly alive.

Her current life wasn't any better. Although her father was the head of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, it was said that when she was born and her mother died from a difficult birth, he didn't even show his face.

As such, she had grown up in the kitchen with her mother's good friend, who was her adoptive mother in this life.

It was only when he heard that the Gu family was going to give the princess a marriage blessing that he remembered her. However, after receiving their betrothal gift, he kicked her out of the house with a shabby dowry.

So, if she really had someone to worry about, it could only be her adoptive mother.

The two of them sat in silence for a while until the temperature in the temple dropped. They got up and walked around outside. After making sure no one was around, they returned to the interspace.

Then, Zhou Ying first took out a bag of whole wheat flour from the warehouse and made 50 pounds of noodles. Then, she began to harvest various matured crops in the space with her mental power.

Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui drove a modified electric car across the river and began feeding the various animals they raised. He also checked their health and pregnancy status.

After Zhou Ying finished harvesting, she turned around and went into the workshop to use the dough press, oven, and blender to steam 400 whole wheat buns and 200 beef and scallion buns.

Finally, she returned to the villa and cooked a pot of purple rice porridge with a pot of assorted vegetables.

After finishing her work, she took a hot shower, put on her pajamas, and dried her hair. When she sprayed on her skin lotion, she carefully sized up her appearance in this life.

She looked at least 80% similar to her previous life. She had an oval face, squinty eyes, a straight nose, and a slightly thicker, cherry-like mouth. In a way, her looks were more refined than those of her previous life.

However, her pasty and dry skin made her overall look dull. It seemed that she had to take good care of it.

As for her body, it was well-developed. She was about 1.65 meters tall, and it would be perfect if she could grow another three to five centimeters.

After Gu Chengrui finished his work, he put away the peanuts she had dried and went to the oil mill to squeeze about 100 pounds of peanut oil.

When he returned to the house, he saw her looking smugly in front of the mirror. He smiled and walked over to her, sizing her up. "You still looked beautiful, but a little young. I can't eat you up. "

Zhou Ying's lips curved into a naughty smile. She leaned in and kissed his ear. "Are you sure?"

Gu Chengrui felt the familiar, gentle, feather-like teasing and the breath that blew into his ear. His ear suddenly felt itchy, and he subconsciously turned his head.

At the same time, a sense of lust rushed into his head, causing his mind to buzz and go blank. His ears also turned red.

However, he reacted quickly. He turned around and quickly kissed her on the neck, then quickly took off his clothes and rushed into the bathroom.

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment, then touched the place where she was kissed with a face of dissatisfaction. But she suddenly laughed when she turned her head and looked at his back.

After a while, she finished applying her toner and put away their clothes. She washed them in the washing machine and dried them before bringing them to the bedroom.

Then, she washed a few sets of underwear that were suitable for their current figures.

Soon, Gu Chengrui came out in his sleeping robe and twisted his long hair with a depressed look.

Zhou Ying quickly stepped forward and said, "You can't twist your long hair like this. You have to wipe it gently. Otherwise, it will easily be damaged. That's why we can only use the hairdryer to dry it quickly. "

Then, she took the towel and started to rub it gently.

"I used to do your hair smoothly," Cheng Chengrui said gloomily. "It's awkward when I'm doing it to my hair."

"That's because I usually dry to a certain extent. Besides, you will get used to it slowly." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she was almost done drying his hair.

Then, she brought him to the mirror and started to blow dry his hair layer by layer.

After cleaning up, the two of them each had a bowl of purple rice porridge with some side dishes and went back to their bedroom to rest.

As soon as Zhou Ying laid down, she saw Gu Chengrui holding a pillow, blanket, and clothes while he walked out. She was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you...?"

"You're 16 now, and I'm 17. We are both too young. For the sake of our physical and mental health, we should sleep separately for the time being." Gu Chengrui looked at her deeply and walked out after he finished speaking.

After Zhou Ying heard it, she was taken aback shortly. In the end, she approved of that notion. They shouldn't take it too hard with their current bodies. It was better to avoid that kind of suffering.

After lying down, she thought she would have to get used to her new bed, but she didn't expect to fall asleep the instant her head touched the pillow.

On the other hand, Gu Chengrui, who was in their study, laid down after setting the alarm for six o'clock. He turned over a few times, got up, and drank two bottles of cough syrup before he fell asleep.

The alarm clock rang the following day, and Gu Chengrui woke up instantly. He looked at his thin and weak arms, stunned for a moment, but quickly remembered that they had transmigrated.

Thinking of the current situation, he quickly got up and changed his clothes to go downstairs to find Zhou Ying.

They had to get out as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if they were found out that they were not in the Mother God Temple.

When he arrived at the master bedroom, he saw that Zhou Ying was still asleep. He didn't know what kind of sweet dream she was having, but she had her mouth wide open, smiling, and her drool was flowing out.

Even though he couldn't bear to wake her up, he still went up to the bed and pinched her little nose.

"You're so annoying. Go away. "Zhou Ying slapped his hand away and shouted subconsciously, and she woke up after that.

When she saw him, she paused for a moment before she quickly regained her senses. However, she still yawned and asked, with a tired expression, "What time is it now? I just fell asleep."

After she finished speaking, she threw herself into his arms and closed her eyes.

Gu Chengrui shook his head. He rubbed her stomach and said, "Get up. If you're tired, we can go to the mountains and return for a nap."

When Zhou Ying heard this, she immediately remembered that they should be living in a broken temple with no doors or windows. She immediately sat up and said, "You're right. We can't let anyone steal our stuff. "

After the two of them quickly washed up, they went out of the interspace. When they just got out, they shivered from the cold while Gu Chengrui started coughing.

"Rui," Zhou Ying was worried. "You should go back to my interspace first. You can come out after I start the fire."

"Let's do it together. I'm worried about you being alone outside."

Zhou Ying didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, she took a bundle of ordinary firewood from her interspace. She also took out some alcohol and a hand blower to start a fire quickly.

Then, the two of them worked together and soon started the fire.

Zhou Ying took out the small pot and heated the remaining purple rice porridge from last night. She also took three beef buns and two cucumbers.

When they were almost done eating, Gu Chengrui asked curiously, "Baby, what dream did you have this morning? You were smiling so wide that you were drooling."

Zhou Ying suddenly felt embarrassed, but when she remembered the dream, she smiled and replied, "I dreamed that I had become a fairy, and I didn't have to work so hard to harvest the crops in my space anymore. I could do it with a wave of my hand.

"With a wave of my hand, I could speed up the growth of our crops and instantly stir up a large area of the sea. I felt my power was boundless, just like the mighty beings in fantasy novels. "

Gu Chengrui thoughtfully asked, "Are you tired from rushing to work yesterday?"

"No, maybe I just wanted to be lazy. It's just a dream. Don't take it seriously." Zhou Ying shook her head.
