The men devoured the food, nodding and praising it as they ate.

"This is so delicious!"

"I've never had such delicious food at a village banquet!"

"I can eat two extra bowls of rice just from this soup..."

The men's chatter reached Xiao Yunqi's ears. He lowered his eyes and ate, seemingly lost in thought.

As dusk fell, the men and women left, and the house became quiet.

As usual, Shen Qingyu didn't eat rice for dinner, nor did she eat any pork belly; she only ate a bowl of cabbage stalks.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunqi, as if possessed, picked up a piece of oily pork belly for her: "This smells delicious, eat it."

Shen Qingyu didn't hesitate to put the food back to Xiao Yunqi: "I don't want to eat it, I want to lose weight."

"..."

Xiao Yunqi looked at Shen Qingyu's large face and fat body, and said nothing.

Sure enough, in just two days, the pimples on Shen Qingyu's face had all subsided, the redness and swelling had disappeared, and the white pus spots had decreased.

As a result, her originally uneven skin looked much smoother, her facial features were clearer, and she even showed a hint of delicate beauty.

But still...fat.

Xiao Yunqi lowered his head and ate his rice.

Shen Qingyu waited until everyone was sound asleep before tidying up the bedding and preparing to go to bed herself.

Looking at Shen Qingyu busy under the oil lamp, Xiao Yunqi explained, "I bought a few extra quilts, one for you and one for me."

Shen Qingyu didn't even look up, her tone calm: "Okay."

"..." Faced with the calm Shen Qingyu, Xiao Yunqi was at a loss for words.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yunqi added, "Don't worry, even if we get divorced, I will make sure you have a good life together."

Shen Qingyu answered again, "Okay."

Xiao Yunqi: "..."

"The food you've cooked these past few days has been delicious. Thank you."

Hey!

Making conversation for the sake of it?

Shen Qingyu raised her head this time, and there seemed to be two points of light in her eyes under the oil lamp: "It wasn't made especially for you. Even without you, I will still cook every meal carefully for the children and for myself."

"You don't need to worry that I will disagree with the divorce."

“I am so grateful that you left me with these three children. I love them very much. Without you, I wouldn’t have them.”

“You built a big brick house and gave them money to support them. This is your duty as a father, and it is what you should do. I will not be grateful to you for this.”

Xiao Yunqi: "..."

That's something I've never heard of before.

Upon closer examination, however, it is impossible to refute.

Where did she hear these fallacies?

Xiao Yunqi suddenly realized that he knew absolutely nothing about his wife.

Shen Qingyu didn't give him time to figure it out and quickly went next door.

Before long, Shen Qingyu brought the three treasures, along with their blankets, over and placed them on the bed.

Before Xiao Yunqi could ask, Shen Qingyu explained, "He's already fast asleep. As long as you don't move him, he won't wake up. From today onwards, you'll sleep with him."

Xiao Yunqi: "...Okay."

As Shen Qingyu carried her bedding out of the room, she paused as if she remembered something: "It's cold, you should cover him with a blanket tonight."

Xiao Yunqi: "Okay."

Faced with Shen Qingyu and her three children, Xiao Yunqi seemed to have no choice but to respond politely.

Shen Qingyu went to the next room, and after confirming that her two daughters were fast asleep, she entered the space.

It was still that same small valley, the warehouse door was wide open, and the same notification sound that had rang out before rang out again: "Supplies storage rate: 10%..."

Shen Qingyu looked down at the clump of bone-strengthening grass at her feet and was pleasantly surprised.

When I came in last time, there was only one tree. It hasn't been that long, and not only has the original tree become much thicker, but many new shoots have also grown from its roots.

It seems that this space is very helpful for plant growth!

After calming herself down, Shen Qingyu first went to the storeroom to find facial cleanser, washed her face clean, then used a cell needle to remove blackheads and pimples, and finally washed her face with spiritual spring water to prevent infection...

Feeling the noticeably smoother and more delicate texture on her face, Shen Qingyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After skipping dinner for just two days, she felt that her waist had become thinner and her stomach had shrunk a bit.

However, the clothes are too loose, so it's not obvious yet.

I just hope I can lose weight.

There was a height and weight scale in the warehouse. Shen Qingyu stepped on the scale and found that she weighed 165 jin (approximately 82.5 kg) and was 1.65 meters tall...

The road to losing weight is still long and arduous!

For the rest of the time, Shen Qingyu spent every day cooking! Cooking! Cooking!

The food was plentiful and flavorful, and the men were full of energy!

With the help of the men in the village, the three tile-roofed houses were built quickly, in just ten days.

As a straight and sturdy beam was erected and a string of firecrackers was lit, the small village instantly became lively!

"Raising the roof beam..." the village head shouted, drawing out the sound, which made everyone cheer!

As if in response to the village head's shouts and the slaps from the crowd, several men standing on the beam grabbed small glutinous rice cakes that had been prepared in the baskets and began to throw them down like raindrops!

"Time to collect glutinous rice cakes!"

"Quick, quick! Throw some over here..."

"Here! Father! Here..."

This is a pure glutinous rice cake, with red characters for "fortune, prosperity, longevity, and happiness" printed on it.

In the countryside, people are reluctant to spend even a single meal of glutinous rice, yet Xiao Yunqi is now sprinkling it down by the handful!

Xiao Yunqi really did make money outside!
