Becoming a Farmer's Widow: Raising Kids and Getting Rich with My Best Friend

Pei Yue, who had opened a chain of restaurants, was extremely busy every day. After not sleeping for several days, she actually died of overwork.

She transmigrated into the body of a widow na...

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Pei Family Reunited

This was the first time Granny Liu had eaten such a sumptuous meal with the Pei family, and she was a little embarrassed. Pei Yuezhi noticed her shyness and put a large lion's head meatball on her plate.

"I really benefit from you girls' hospitality. I can eat meat even though it's not a holiday. I've never eaten such a big lion's head before," Grandma Liu said with a heartfelt smile.

Liu Yuanyuan agreed wholeheartedly: "Mom, Yueyue's cooking is exceptionally good, and she's also very kind to us. She eats everything with us."

"Yes, Yuezhi is such a good child."

Pei Yuezhi was a little embarrassed by the praise: "Without your help, I would be overwhelmed even with three heads and six arms. Please stop praising me and let's eat."

“Yes! Aunt Liu and Grandma Li are both very capable! Mu’er is also obedient, even more so than her brother!” Fan Mu said earnestly.

"Yes, our Mu'er is the most obedient."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone laughed heartily. They were off work tomorrow, and even eating was more enjoyable than usual.

......

Grandma Liu didn't have to work today. After finishing her meal, she helped tidy up a bit and then went home.

Since being comforted by Liu Yuanyuan in the afternoon, Pei Yuezhi felt as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Watching Fan Mu and Li Nian'an running around playing with the puppy, Fan Chao sat in the courtyard drinking tea with Pei Yuezhi like a little adult.

At this moment, Liu Yuanyuan was lying on her bed, sprawled out, resting.

"Alright, it's getting dark. Be careful not to get bitten by mosquitoes. Let's go inside."

Pei Yuezhi called the child into the house.

"Yueyue, I want to sleep here. Your bed is so big. It's been so long since we slept together," Liu Yuanyuan said, turning over as she saw Pei Yuezhi enter the room.

“Okay, this bed was made by the child’s father himself. The other day when Yunzhi stayed here, Mu’er and I slept together. The little girl can even open it with her martial arts skills.”

Liu Yuanyuan took the child home, and then the two of them turned off the lights and lay down.

When these best friends get together, they often have trouble sleeping. But when they get together with Liu Yuanyuan, they don't even have to get up early, and they have a wonderful time chatting.

By the time the two of them realized they should go to sleep, it was almost dawn.

So by the time the two of them got up, it was already noon. Everyone had gotten up, tidied up, and eaten breakfast.

"Oh, I slept so well. This is the most comfortable sleep I've had since I came here." Pei Yuezhi stretched.

"I have to sleep with you, otherwise how can you sleep so soundly?" Liu Yuanyuan said in a cheeky tone.

Pei Yuezhi slapped Liu Yuanyuan on the head: "You're so vain!"

"By the way, I'm going to see Pei's father today. I don't know if I'll come back. I'm in the original body, so I'll go see her father on her behalf. I don't know why, but I just can't help but feel worried. Do you think the original soul hasn't left yet?"

Liu Yuanyuan rubbed her head and replied, "Don't scare me!"

"What's there to be afraid of? We've both died before."

"That's true."

It's noon now, and Pei Yuezhi plans to make lunch so she can eat her fill before going.

Hearing that Pei Yuezhi was going to her maternal grandfather's house, the two children insisted on going too. Since the old man hadn't seen his two grandsons in a long time, he took them both with him.

We had a simple lunch, then set off with a basket on our backs and the two children.

There were no more oxcarts at this point, and the journey between the two villages took an hour. Fortunately, Pei Yue had always enjoyed sports in her previous life.

I've been quite busy lately, but my stamina is still pretty good.

The child was actually quite fit, so the three of them walked across without any trouble.

When they arrived at Pei's father's house, Pei Yunzhi was nowhere to be found. Pei's father was copying books inside the house, and the window was open, so he immediately saw his beloved daughter and two grandsons.

"Yuezhi, you're back, Chao'er and Mu'er! Come inside quickly!" Pei's father stood up excitedly, feeling a little dizzy and almost losing his balance.

"Grandpa, please wait a moment, I'll be right in."

"Grandpa, be careful not to fall! Mu'er is coming in!"

Pei Yuezhi watched as the old man and the two children excitedly ran towards each other, and said helplessly, "Slow down, slow down."

While the three of them weren't looking at her, Pei Yuezhi put a chicken, three catties of pork ribs, and twenty eggs into the cloth-covered basket.

"Sister, you've brought the child! Are you tired? Give me the basket and come inside for a drink of water." Pei Yunzhi appeared out of nowhere, holding a few ears of corn and green beans.

Watching the three of them chatting, all three of them were laughing happily.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like Mr. Pei is more energetic than last time.

Pei Yunzhi walked up behind Pei Yuezhi without anyone noticing: "Sister, after you came back last time, Father was much happier. He even stopped refusing to take his medicine when I asked him to, saying that life is getting better and better."

The three of them chatted happily, while Pei Yuezhi went to the kitchen and soaked the ribs she had brought in cold water.

I returned to my original room, and my legs were a little tired after walking around for so long. The room was quite tidy and looked like it had been cleaned regularly.

Pei Yuezhi lay down on the bed: "The original owner's father and younger brother are really good people. If we open a shop and make money in the future, we should definitely treat them well."

"Ding, the system task has been triggered. You now own a small shop. Task rewards: one free shopping card and one 50% off card."

Free meal card, 50% off card?

"Aren't your task rewards getting more and more perfunctory? The previous reward was from the in-game store, now it's just store cards."

The system patiently replied: "The mall and discount cards are indeed not the same level of rewards, but since the host was a newcomer and had a difficult start, the initial rewards are naturally more generous. As time goes on, the system tasks will become less and less."

Pei Yuezhi thought about it carefully and realized that this reward was actually not bad. It was just that the first two rewards were too generous, so compared to them, it seemed ordinary.

There's a shop where you don't even need anything else; it just maxes out all the cheats, so it's normal that the rewards are less later on.

At worst, I'll just buy something expensive and make the system bleed money.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuezhi felt much better.

Looking at the sky, it's about time to start cooking. I brought spare ribs today, and seeing the corn and green beans that Pei Yunzhi brought, I'll just make a stew!

Pei Yuezhi hummed a song as she entered the kitchen, where Pei Yunzhi was already chopping wood in the yard.

First, wash the rice, then steam it, and then you can start cooking the dishes.

"Sister, I've left the firewood here." Pei Yunzhi carried the firewood in and saw Pei Yuezhi washing rice. "Sister, you left so much rice last time; your life has just started to improve..."

"Alright, alright, your older sister has a stable income and is eating well now. She can't just abandon Dad. You're just benefiting from his good fortune."

"It's my fault for being useless..."

"Stop! Go pick the green beans, peel the corn, and peel two potatoes."

After sending Pei Yunzhi aside, I first blanched the ribs in water with some scallions, ginger, and wine, skimmed off the foam, and then rinsed them clean.

"Okay, just leave it here. Go on out now."

"I can't let you see me getting the seasonings," Pei Yuezhi thought to herself.
