"Let's go, I'll take you to see someone." Lu Congrong grabbed Gu Li's arm and headed towards the county town.

Gu Li glanced back at the village, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Lu Congrong toward the county town.

Gu Li only felt at ease after stopping at the gate of the Cai family's house.

"How did you get in touch with the Cai family?" Gu Li asked.

Lu Congrong revealed a smug expression: "Because my brother is a scholar, many people in the county want to get to know him."

Without her scholar brother, Gu Li felt offended.

In the village.

Su Jiaoniang suddenly sneezed, looked up at the sky, and it suddenly became gloomy and chilly.

Is it going to snow soon?

Madam Feng looked up and shook her head: "Yes, winter is almost here."

"Madam, Huang Erlan is here!" Xie Shi said softly as she walked behind Su Jiaoniang.

Su Jiaoniang looked outside and saw Huang Erlan standing at the door, glancing inside every now and then.

"Bring the person over here!" Su Jiaoniang said. Xie Shi walked outside, and when she returned, Huang Erlan followed behind her.

Huang Erlan walked into the flower hall and saw Madam Feng next to Su Jiaoniang. His eyes widened suddenly. Goodness, how could there be such a beautiful person?

The plump woman seemed to rub her cheeks, shifting her gaze away from Madam Feng, whose face was covered in ointment. She took a deep breath and said, "Sister Su, the chili peppers are harvested and will be delivered tomorrow. What will you plant in the greenhouse next?"

"We've harvested them. Now we'll continue planting chili peppers and some off-season vegetables." With winter approaching, her hot pot restaurant can open for business.

There are enough chili peppers; if you don't seize the opportunity, it's like wasting money.

"A greenhouse?" Madam Feng asked in surprise.

Su Jiaoniang nodded.

Being able to build a greenhouse that allows plants to grow even in winter was indeed beyond her expectations.

"Let's go take a look!" Madam Feng was very curious.

Seeing that Madam Feng was interested, Su Jiaoniang led her toward the greenhouse.

Old Guo stood guard outside the greenhouse, occasionally squatting down to rake through the soil, doing something no one knew.

Madam Feng leaned closer and asked a question.

Old Guo chuckled and said, "There's a rat's nest in the field, and there's plenty of grain inside. Let's dig it out and have a nice meal!"

"A rat's nest?" Madam Feng stared at the ground.

Old Guo was now even more motivated. He dug down with his shovel, and after about a foot, he saw a fat mouse sleeping. He chased the mouse away and continued digging. Soon, soybeans appeared in front of him.

Madam Feng has learned a lot.

Su Jiaoniang also broadened her horizons.

Although she had hundreds of years more experience than people of this time, she still didn't know much about things like farming.

He picked two peanuts out of the soil: "Are they edible?"

"I can eat it, I can eat it!" Old Guo popped open a peanut and put the pink peanut in his mouth.

He said, "You may not know this, but the granary official is a good thing. Although he steals our grain, in years of famine when we can't get enough to eat, if we try to find a granary official's den, our whole family can be fed for a long time."

Old Guo spoke with a look of reminiscence on his face, as if he had experienced many things in the past.

Su Jiaoniang looked down and examined the rat's nest, memorizing the characteristics of the land where the rat's nest was located. Perhaps she could use it someday in the future; of course, it would be better if she didn't.

Madam Feng, imitating Old Man Guo, picked up a peanut from the ground, squeezed it open, and put it in her mouth.

Chewing slowly: "The taste is quite good, it's not too sour!"

"Mice are clever; they won't spoil!" Old Guo chuckled.

Old Guo led the two into the greenhouse, where some chives were planted in a corner, along with a few eggplants and carrots.

Su Jiaoniang's mood instantly improved upon seeing the lush greenery.

Madam Feng squatted down and, upon seeing the chives, immediately said, "Xiao Ke loves chive dumplings the most. I didn't expect there would still be chives for sale in winter." As she finished speaking, the smile on her face slowly faded.

Her son is still with the Cai family, and it would be very difficult for her to even take a look at him.

I don’t know how the Cai family will teach their children, but I know without even thinking that they will say she ran away with another man, that she is immoral. In short, in the eyes of her children, she is an unfaithful woman.

"It's nothing, just cut some to take home, make dumplings, and send them to the children." Su Jiaoniang patted Madam Feng's shoulder and asked Old Man Guo for a sickle.

They cut the chives and took them back.

Madam Feng and Su Jiaoniang made dumplings together.

Although her childhood was miserable and tragic, because she was beautiful, she rarely participated in kitchen work and instead learned how to please men.

I clumsily pinched the dumplings together.

Seeing that Madam Feng had emerged from her grief, Su Jiaoniang breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Having gone through ten months of pregnancy, one will have a deep-seated love for one's child.

The dumplings smell delicious once they're wrapped.

Madam Feng looked at Su Jiaoniang, who then loaded the dumplings onto the mule cart. Su Jiaoniang drove Madam Feng to the Fu family's inn, where they used the kitchen to cook the dumplings. With the dumplings in hand, they headed towards the Cai family's residence.

Of course, Su Jiaoniang did not choose to enter through the main entrance.

Carrying Madam Feng, they scaled the wall and landed in the backyard: "Where does the young master live?"

Madam Feng gave an address, and Su Jiaoniang led her people, avoiding the Cai family servants, to a courtyard.

Inside stood a servant. Su Jiaoniang frowned, then suddenly smiled, took out a copper coin from her purse, and tossed it on the ground, one by one, into the small courtyard.

He glanced at the servant standing upright, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it, which landed squarely on the servant's neck.
