"I think you're too useless! Otherwise, you wouldn't have given up after just one setback!"
As Lin Jiudong spoke, he secretly vowed: even without Lin Qixia's help, he would definitely destroy that little slut Gu Ciyu and snatch Li Pei away!
Thinking this, Lin Jiudong turned and went back into the house.
Lin Qixia could tell from Lin Jiudong's expression that she hadn't listened to what she said.
She took a deep breath, annoyed by this love-struck man's lack of common sense.
Regardless of the circumstances, it seems that even for the safety of the rest of the Lin family, they have to keep an eye on Lin Jiudong!
At this moment, the courtyard became quiet again.
Only Lin Qixia and her little niece, who was squatting in a corner playing by herself, remained around.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Lin Qixia slowly walked back to the courtyard wall and put the stone containing tsavorite that she had detected earlier into her system space.
Then she found a chair and sat down in the sun, her consciousness entering the system space, and decided to sell the stone and the embroidery together.
[Tsavorite, worth 20 gold coins!]
[Mid-to-high quality embroidery, valued at 8 gold coins! Trade?]
Lin Qixia looked at the panel in front of her and, with a thought, selected the "Agree to Transaction" button.
[Ding! Transaction successful, balance 28 gold coins!]
The sound of gold coins arriving in her account made Lin Qixia's smile widen; she finally had money!
Lin Qixia bought two jin of noodles, two bags of salt, and a dozen eggs, which she used up.
At the same time, she saw another shop window that sold medicines. Thinking of her head injury, she decided to buy herself some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs such as ibuprofen and amoxicillin. Medicines, such important supplies, were not particularly expensive, costing 5 gold coins per box.
That adds up to exactly 25 gold coins.
After buying all of these, I had less than 3 gold coins left.
Lin Qixia then stopped.
However, I definitely can't take out all the things I bought right away, it would be too conspicuous.
Fortunately, the system had storage space, so she simply put most of those things into the system space.
After doing all this, Lin Qixia finally relaxed and took out an anti-inflammatory pill from her spatial storage.
After a while, she felt dizzy and fell asleep in the chair.
When she woke up in the evening, her headache had completely subsided.
"His body recovered pretty quickly; no wonder he's been through so much fighting all the time," Lin Qixia muttered.
Although the head wound is still there, the swelling has gone down, and it's probably not a big problem now.
"Gurgle, gurgle..." Lin Qixia's attention was diverted by the sound of her stomach growling.
Indeed, she only ate a few bites of the wild vegetable porridge at noon because she found it too unpalatable.
By now, I must be hungry.
Lin Qixia got up and walked towards the kitchen. After checking, she found that there weren't many ingredients to cook. She took out eggs, noodles, and salt.
I quickly boiled water and cooked the noodles, added some of the wild vegetables my sister-in-law had picked that morning, cracked in an egg, and added salt.
The fragrant egg noodles were ready in no time, with leafy greens and egg protein, making them a nutritionally complete meal.
"Auntie, what delicious food did you cook?" My little niece came over at some point, drawn by the aroma, and peered in with her big, curious eyes as she leaned against the door.
After Lin Qixia beat up Lin Jiudong, and Lin Qixia gave her half a bowl of rice at noon, the child was no longer so afraid of Lin Qixia.
Seeing this, Lin Qixia beckoned to her: "Come here and try the noodles I cooked."
Although she's busy with her modern job, she enjoys experimenting with cooking in her spare time, and her skills are pretty good. However, the ingredients she prepared this time were rather basic, so the taste probably won't be particularly good.
However, it would be considered a very good food nowadays.
"Can I eat this?" Lin Yi cautiously leaned closer and asked her.
Her aunt seems to be much more generous than before?
Lin Qixia nodded nonchalantly: "Of course you can eat it."
She wasn't planning on eating alone; she cooked for the whole family.
"Great!" The little girl immediately jumped in excitedly.
Lin Qixia picked up a bowl and put a few chopsticks of wild vegetables mixed with noodles on Lin Yi's plate. She then ladled some soup and an egg into the bowl and handed it to her, saying, "Here, eat up, be careful it's hot."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lin Yi replied loudly.
He Zhilan, who had just entered the kitchen to prepare dinner for her family, saw this scene as soon as she entered the house.
She asked Lin Qixia with a surprised look, "Where did you get the flour and eggs?"
And Lin Qixia even made noodles?
In the past two years, the harvests in the nearby villages have been poor, and flour is a precious commodity for ordinary farmers. Even if they want to eat it, they should eat it sparingly.
Besides, where did Lin Qixia get the skill to make noodles?
"When I was surrounded by those thugs on the mountain, I was saved by a mysterious master. He gave me noodles, and I bought the eggs from Aunt Li next door with the money Lin Jiudong gave me from selling embroidery." Lin Qixia lied to He Zhilan.
Otherwise, some things are really hard to explain.
"I see." He Zhilan believed Lin Qixia's explanation.
Soon Lin Qixia came over and handed her some copper coins: "Sister-in-law, please keep the rest of the money. I really shouldn't have spent it recklessly."
As she spoke, she lowered her head, looking as if she knew she had made a mistake.
He Zhilan was stunned for a moment, then pushed the money back: "I can't accept this money. You two sisters lost your parents when you were young, and you are already pitiful."
“Our family is poor, and your older brother is injured. Your older brother and I are not capable. The reason we haven’t asked you for this money is so that you can keep it for yourselves and have some security after you get married.”
