Chapter 176 The Life of a Scholar's Daughter (4)



So every time the peaches ripened, the family didn't eat many of them. The little girl's most vivid memory was of longing to eat peaches.

Tang Baozhu thought that this couldn't be done. Perhaps she had inherited the little girl's obsession while in this body, so she decided to keep all the peaches for herself.

I took a closer look at the fence in the yard. The fence was quite high, but the kids still managed to climb it.

Planting a ring of thorny vines around the outside of the fence should be enough to keep the unruly kids away.

There are plenty of fruit trees in the Tang Baozhu space, and even the forest elves gave her a lot of fruit, some with various medicinal effects.

She really doesn't lack fruit, but for some reason, she doesn't want anyone to touch these two fruit trees.

I instantly felt enveloped by a chilling atmosphere. It wasn't that I was stingy and didn't want to share; it was definitely because the girl was too obsessed.

Another way is for Li Jun to come here more often. In the village, there is no one taller and stronger than him, which is particularly intimidating.

Tang Baozhu felt it was a pity that such a large area in the backyard was only used to plant two peach trees; it was a waste of space.

You can clear the land to grow vegetables, so that when you are in mourning, you won't have to buy vegetables from outside.

Although things in the space can be taken out, there must be a source. We don't want to give anyone a handle to use against us. Nobody is stupid.

As for planting a ring of vines around the outside of the courtyard wall, besides keeping the naughty kids company, it's also to keep out those hooligans. As a single girl living here, I'm sure there will be people with ill intentions coming to harass me.

Although I don't have to worry about what others might do to me, and I'm sure I can subdue anyone who comes in, I'll lose my reputation in the process.

From the beginning, we didn't give them any chance to avoid gossip, since we didn't know how long we would stay in this Qingshan Village.

As the sun was setting in the afternoon, Tang Baozhu finally went into the kitchen. It was no different from an ordinary farmhouse kitchen. She hadn't really wanted to go in, but the kitchen chimney hadn't emitted any smoke all day, which seemed strange.

I can only pretend to boil some water now, because the flint and steel is really not very useful. I'm lucky if I can get it to light once out of ten strikes.

Sitting in front of the stove, watching the fire burn inside, I wondered how I would live my life in this world.

Tang Baozhu felt that she didn't have any great ambitions, so maybe the world should be filled with more book lovers.

As a scholar, my father must have had a lot of books. Today, while cleaning the room, I saw his study, and an entire wall was covered with his books.

Most of them were copied by him. His father, a scholar, used to copy books for the bookstore owner, earning money and also getting to copy an extra copy to keep in his own study.

Therefore, there are many books in the study. If you can understand and thoroughly comprehend all the books in the Imperial Study, then you will not have wasted your time.

Ideally, she could also develop beautiful calligraphy skills, then she would truly be a talented woman.

The little girl can read and write calligraphy, but her scholar father says she lacks her own character.

You don't need to set your goals too high. As long as your writing is presentable, that's enough. You can even make money by copying books in the future.

In ancient times, most women earned money through embroidery. They were quite skilled at it and would alternate between embroidery and copying books so that they wouldn't get tired or worry about damaging their eyes.

After thinking it through, I saw that the water in the pot was hot, so I quickly carried it to the bathroom next door to take a shower. After showering, I checked all the doors to make sure they were all closed properly.

After making sure it was locked, I went back inside. I went into the small space first, ate a meal, and then wandered around inside for a while.

I checked on the seed first; it already has two leaves. It seems it needs to grow a bit bigger before it can be of any use.

Those spiritual plants were taken care of very well; none of them died and they are all thriving.

Emerging from the space, I lay on the little girl's intricately carved bed—just that one bed was enough to make the villagers envious.

This bed was commissioned by the scholar's father and took three years to make. Although the materials are not as good as those precious woods such as rosewood and sandalwood, the large bed made of camphor wood is still considered to be made of good wood.

This large bed cost several thousand taels of silver, which shows how much the scholar father was willing to spend on his daughter.

Tang Baozhu felt that if she wanted to continue living such a comfortable life, she first needed someone to protect her. An orphan girl, especially one with a lot of wealth, would definitely attract a lot of unwanted attention.

The girl's fiancé, Li Jun, is so burly; he'll definitely be able to protect her.

Then try not to use the money in the space, but earn money by embroidering and copying books, and live each life well.

Just as she was about to check the red envelope group, she heard some noise outside. Tang Baozhu jumped up from the bed.

Someone must have sneaked in. I quickly activated my wood-type ability. A level 10 ability is no joke. There are a lot of weeds outside the yard.

Anyone who dares to come in has a death wish.

I quietly left the room and heard the sound of someone climbing over the wall outside.

Moreover, they weren't alone. They crept over quietly and heard the sound of two people arguing outside.

"Boss, I really can't climb up there, why don't you climb it?"

"If I could climb up, I wouldn't be calling you. Let me tell you, if you don't climb up, you won't get any of the good stuff. You'd better think it over."

The person who spoke first seemed to be hesitating, and it was only after a while that someone else spoke.

"Boss, we agreed to split everything equally. But boss, Tang Xiucai's daughter is so beautiful, aren't you tempted?"

"How can you not be tempted by such a beautiful young lady? But we should also consider whether we're alive to enjoy her. Have you forgotten Li Jun's fists? He's the kind of guy who kills without hesitation. I don't want to feel his fists again. This time, we're only after money. As for the young lady, let's forget about her."

Tang Baozhu could hear the regret in his tone; he still harbored the wicked intentions, but lacked the courage.

Moreover, she could recognize the voice; it belonged to that pretty boy, Li Fugui.

This never happened in the previous life. It seems that they were unwilling to give up because they didn't find anything yesterday, so they came again under the cover of night.

She was actually planning to settle scores with them anyway, and now that they'd delivered themselves to her doorstep, she wasn't going to hold back.

It's a good opportunity to settle scores from the past life in this one. As long as he climbs the wall, she'll use her wood-based powers to grow vines and pull him down. She's not sure she can break his legs.
