"No wonder no one wants to be a farmer, it's really tiring! It's okay most of the time, you just need to weed and fertilize, but the autumn harvest and spring planting season is really tough!" Xu Han said with a sigh.

“Hunting is still better. Although you have to get up early every day to go up the mountain, it’s much easier than farming. At least you don’t have to rely on the weather to harvest,” Lu Chuan agreed.

"Hunting is too dangerous. You think hunting is easy because you are good at it. Ordinary people don't have your skills!"

Moreover, hunting doesn't involve growing food; all food must be bought. If a natural disaster strikes, there's absolutely no food left. Farming is much better; you reap what you sow.

"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right. If it weren't for her coming to save me, I would have been the first to starve to death after the drought hit," Lu Chuan said to Xu Han with a grin.

"Of course! I'm here to save you, so you'd better treat me well, or you're finished!"

"No, no, it's my honor to serve my wife." After saying that, he sidled up to Xu Han in a cheeky manner.

A night of tenderness...

The next day, Xu Han slept until she naturally woke up, stretched her arms and legs to loosen her muscles and bones, and lay in bed for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

Upon entering the courtyard, I saw that the beans that had been gathered up yesterday had been spread out to dry.

Lu Chuan was not seen in the yard; he must have already gone out to collect the game.

Xu Han first went to the kitchen to eat breakfast: a tea egg, a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), and a bowl of corn porridge. She ate her fill.

After eating, I sat for a while before leaving the kitchen and then went to the vegetable garden in the backyard to pick today's vegetables.

Some of the vegetables in the space had been dried out a while ago, but after these few days of harvesting, the space was quickly filled up again.

What to do? Everything in the space needs to be kept fresh. Only the food in the bathroom, kitchen, and corridor can be temporarily moved outside.

However, it can't be left out for too long! After all, it's processed flour, and if left out for too long, it will definitely get moldy and damp.

The space is completely full and there's no room for anything else, but it's still very hot, so we can't make jerky or anything like that yet!

There's no space available right now; I don't even know if I can fit all the freshly picked vegetables in.

The more I think about it, the more my head aches. I need to stock up on enough vegetables and meat for at least four years, and then I'll need to add water and grains later.

I can't fit everything in here now, what am I going to do in the future! I wish I could have more space, but I don't know if my current space can be upgraded.

Xu Han was thinking when suddenly everything went black before her eyes, her body swayed, and when she opened her eyes she found herself inside a spatial dimension.

Before Xu Han could even react, she saw that the small room had become larger. Xu Han was overjoyed; it seemed that heaven had heard her prayers and upgraded her space.

Hahaha! Heaven has saved me! This is fantastic! Now I have a place to store my things.

Xu Han hurried over, wanting to see what the other half of the space looked like, when she heard a loud bang, as if she had bumped into something.

Realizing what had happened, Xu Han immediately covered her forehead. "What the heck?! There was nothing there! Why did I bump my head?! It hurts so much!"

That was quite a collision, since Xu Han hadn't expected anything to block her way and just walked right past it!

After a while, Xu Han didn't dare to walk directly forward this time. Instead, she reached out and touched something in front of her. Sure enough, she touched an invisible wall and couldn't reach the space on the other side.

What the heck?! This is outrageous! They gave me extra storage space, but I can't even use it?

Just as Xu Han was racking her brains trying to figure it out, she suddenly looked up and saw the words on the wall.

"If you need to expand the space, please pay 120 taels of silver."

Below is a 10-hour countdown, along with a small note: "Space area 120 square meters, same function, time frozen."

Good heavens! It wasn't a windfall after all! Upgrading the space requires money!

But this is a great deal! You can get 120 square meters of space for a little money, and the functions are the same. It's a bargain no matter how you look at it!

I still have 150 taels of silver, and Lu Chuan should have a little bit of loose silver left.

After upgrading the space, I'll have 30 taels of silver left. With my daily income, that should be enough for later on! But I'll definitely be living a tight life.

If we run out of money later, we can sell some dried bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms. Lu Chuan also said that the autumn hunt is coming soon, so we should have some income.

Money shouldn't be too scarce. Even if it is a little tight, we still need to upgrade the space, since we can dig for bamboo shoots or other things next spring!

The space is already full, and there are still many things to acquire! It's definitely not enough.

I didn't earn the money myself, so I can't just upgrade the space without saying a word. Anyway, there are still 10 hours left, so I'll wait until Lu Chuan comes back and tell him before upgrading!

Normally, Lu Chuan wouldn't object. Any objection would only be due to exceptional circumstances.

After figuring it out, Xu Han flashed out of the space, picked all the vegetables that needed to be harvested that day, and barely managed to stuff them into the space.

Then we went to the front yard, dried the beans, and found a shady spot to start shelling corn.

Lu Chuan didn't return until the sun was almost at noon.

Xu Han, who had been waiting all morning, finally saw Lu Chuan return and hurriedly went to greet him.

Seeing Xu Han's excited and happy expression, Lu Chuan was puzzled! What's wrong? It's like she was waiting for him!

Xu Han ignored Lu Chuan and pulled him into the main room, pressed him down into a chair, and sat down opposite him, saying with a serious yet happy expression.

"I have something very important to tell you!" Hearing Xu Han say this, Lu Chuan was even more puzzled!

"What's wrong? Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Lu Chuan asked worriedly, grabbing Xu Han's arm and looking her up and down.

"I'm not hurt, don't worry." Hearing Xu Han say this, Lu Chuan was finally relieved. He gestured for Xu Han to continue.

Xu Han didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Didn't I tell you before that my space is full? There's no room left!"

Lu Chuan knew this; Xu Han often complained that the space was too small.

"The good news is that the space can be upgraded and enlarged, and the functions will remain the same as before! But it will cost 120 taels of silver!"
