She had inquired and found out that the treatment at the charity was excellent; each meal consisted of two sorghum cakes! The work was nothing more than pulling weeds and such, not tiring at all! This was much better than staying at home watching over that old woman, especially since Qin was very stingy, complaining that she was wasting food by only giving her thin porridge for every meal!
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Qin was a little surprised. Her second daughter-in-law had become much more obedient! So much so that when she saw the thick rice porridge at lunchtime, although she felt very sorry for her, she held back and did not say anything harsh!
Wang Erlang found it really hard to accept his mother and wife's kind and gentle demeanor at the dinner table! What was even stranger was that his mother didn't scold him for wasting food. He felt like his brain wasn't working properly and could only ask with a grin.
"Mother, you seem to be in a good mood. Look, it must be because my porridge is so delicious to you. How about I cook for you from now on?" Wang Erlang doesn't like cooking, but if cooking can fill his stomach, then that's a different story!
Upon hearing his words, Qin scolded him with a stern face, "Get lost! If it's like this every day, how can we live together? Don't just sit around all day. Go out and find some work. You're a man with a son. Do you expect me to support you?"
"Oh, Mother, don't be angry. If you don't want to do it, you don't have to! I was just saying. By the way, I've already sent food to Father, so you don't need to go over there." After saying that, Wang Erlang buried his head in his food.
Feeling annoyed, I realized I'd never get to eat such thick porridge again.
Old Wang ate his dry rice alone in the house, swallowing his tears along with the food. Gazing at the light in the main room, he thought of his abandoned eldest and second grandsons. He wondered where they were. What had gotten into him? How could he have abandoned his own grandsons? If they were here, they would be filial, especially the eldest, who certainly wouldn't have seen him go hungry.
In short, Old Wang probably never expected that his beloved wife would be so indifferent to his life or death. He was injured because he took the knife for her!
Sigh, what can be said? If Qin San Niang were here, she would definitely say that Old Man Wang was a lovesick fool, but not a good person! This ending is his own doing!
Qin San Niang had no idea that she was about to be stuck with this pest. She had been having a relatively leisurely time these past few days, and when she had nothing to do, she would think about going to check out her space.
This was shocking; the bear was still lying there quietly, breathing steadily, clearly under the influence of the anesthetic.
For some reason, seeing the enormous creature so quiet made her feel a pang of pity.
All things have a spirit, so why go to such lengths to kill them all for your own selfish desires?
Qin San Niang shook her head, turned around and went to the courtyard to get the first-aid kit. She disinfected and bandaged its wound, and gave it a sip of water from her spatial storage. Although the beast was asleep, it moved its mouth a few times and drank the water.
"Heh, so you know this is a good thing!" Qin San Niang chuckled softly, planning to release it into the woods tomorrow.
Looking at the fields behind the house, I was truly surprised; they were incredibly fertile!
The bean pods were all plump and hanging on the stalks, and the melons and fruits were also ripe! Their juicy appearance made her mouth water!
I picked a cucumber at random, wiped it with the corner of my clothes, and popped it into my mouth. I took a big bite, and wow, it was sweet, juicy, crisp, and refreshing. The taste was absolutely amazing!
Thinking that the shelves for fresh fruits and vegetables in her space could be replenished, she was even more surprised that in the blink of an eye, all the vegetables and fruits disappeared and appeared on her warehouse shelves. Beans were also placed in the bean storage area.
Qin San Niang's feelings at this moment can only be described as bewildered. Oh my, this is really too intelligent! The space god really didn't abandon her. Before, she had worked hard for several days to move things, but now, she can move them with just her thoughts.
To verify this function again, Qin San Niang used her mind to move things several more times, and they all miraculously worked!
She didn't know why the space had suddenly activated this function. Could it be because she had opened a charity? Oh my god, so doing good deeds can enhance the system's functions? It seems she'll have to find an opportunity to verify this later!
She had a lot of money. Besides building a house, she also planned to buy the mountain behind the house. In addition, she needed to store some food and herbs, which would cost a lot of money. Most importantly, she needed to buy jade to continue upgrading her space. In order to be able to relax in the future, she still needed to work hard to earn money now!
She didn't forget the purpose of her trip, so she found a book on winemaking and began to read it carefully.
The children have all gone to school, so no one can see what she's doing, and it won't arouse suspicion.
This book contains quite a few brewing recipes. After flipping through half of it, I chose a relatively simple distilled spirit called "Drunken Red Dust"!
What a coincidence! This wine is made from peach blossoms. Because it undergoes a second distillation, it's even more fragrant and mellow than the cloudy wines of this era. But whether it will be successful still requires a few more experiments! But where can we find peach blossoms? No worries, the man who sold us the hawthorns—his family grows peach trees!
Qin San Niang slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Alright, this is it! The name sounds good, and the ingredients are easy to obtain. If we don't make it now, when will we?"
That evening at dinner, she mentioned the winemaking business. He Yingyuan knew she must have found a partner, and he also wanted to expand the business together! However, he was currently in a weak position and couldn't offer Qin Sanniang a better way to cooperate. Moreover, the wine business was very profitable, and if it attracted the attention of unscrupulous people, it would be very difficult to succeed without some connections in officialdom.
Qin San Niang voiced this idea for two reasons. First, she was alone and vulnerable, and banding together would make survival easier. Second, she genuinely needed trustworthy partners; even buying maids and servants required time to prove their worth, and she was already bound to these families.
"Third Sister, is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me. Our house will be finished in half a month, and then there won't be any major problems!" Knowing that Third Sister Qin was going to help them out since she said that, where else could they find such a good opportunity?
Liao Hongying nodded, sharing the same thought. She was no longer the scholar's wife she once was; after so long in business, she was hardly used to stopping! Besides, with her husband teaching at the school every day, the headband business was slowly declining, with many counterfeit products appearing, making the business increasingly difficult.
There's also Gu Qingshan, who is naturally indispensable. Since he works as a hunter, he has a high degree of freedom, and it's no big deal for him to help Qin Sanniang out in his spare time!
