Recently, Zhang Shan Ni had beco the villagers’ mobile gossip repository.
First, there were the nas ’ferocious’ fed by her own mother and sister, then there was Wang Xiuzhen inciting behind her back to ruin her reputation, Zhang Shan Ni, originally an unknown little village girl, suddenly beca a celebrity in Qingfeng Village.
Fortunately, these people only dared to whisper a few words behind her back from a distance.
And these words were just a bit of loose gossip, not enough to make her angry and want to act.
However, the main instigator was now targeted by Zhang Shan Ni. As for Wang Xiuzhen, guided by intuition, she felt that there were so things about the other party that she hadn’t figured out! Right now, Zhang Shan Ni, who strongly trusted her own intuition, would sneak to Zhou’s house from ti to ti to secretly investigate anything inappropriate about her.
But after several days of fruitless effort, Zhang Shan Ni felt a bit discouraged, yet she still did not want to give up.
Half a month had passed since Xie Jingchen left, and the household’s at supply had rapidly decreased. With many half-grown kids at ho and herself in the midst of developnt, their consumption was too high. Seeing they were about to run out of at, Zhang Shan Ni couldn’t sit still anymore.
This day, November 11th, with only three days until the winter harvest, Zhang Shan Ni made up her mind to go hunting in the mountains today to get so ga for the kids and her in-laws to replenish their bodies.
In Zhang Shan Ni’s eyes, at had to be fresh to be the most nourishing. Although her Space had everything, she couldn’t reveal it out of thin air; she had to be careful, even when using the Space’s resources for her family, she was very cautious.
It wasn’t that she was stingy. Rather, most of the things in her Space were of much higher quality than in this era, and so were ’advanced’ items not yet born in this backward era.
Take, for example, her sanitary pads - small items easy to conceal - and the washing machine, recreational vehicle... Sanitary pads could still be explained away due to their very private nature, but to produce a washing machine or an RV out of nowhere 0.0!
Not even the silliest could conjure up such models.
For the forr, there’s no electricity in the countryside; even if she didn’t care about anything else, the most vital energy source wasn’t available, making the washing machine just a pile of junk tal!
For the latter, the cars she collected didn’t exist in this era. Thinking back to her ti, the oldest model was from 2017...
Now it’s only 1978, a gap of nearly forty years; even the car shapes were different, let alone engine types, fuel sources, and the like.
Zhang Shan Ni had plenty of advanced, valuable technological items in her Space, but this era was not the ti for them to appear. She could only ’look but not touch.’
However, items like flour, vegetable oil, salt, sugars, and other foods that dissolved without retaining form, she could still secretly mix and use a bit.
Zhang Shan Ni had strong spiritual power, and after comparing the food from both eras, she still felt that the food from this era was a bit purer. The supplies she had stored in the future were, after all, stimulated for growth; they might taste a bit better, but when it ca to nutrition, the primitive was more exquisite.
As ntioned before, Zhang Shan Ni had a miserly nature. Seeing such a natural environnt, after her husband left, she would almost nightly take advantage of the terrain, secretly raiding the Primitive Mountains’ natural resources.
The wild ga near human habitation had unexpectedly reduced by thirty percent, all taken into Zhang Shan Ni’s Space.
If not for the Primitive Mountain’s paths being really difficult to navigate, too far away, and the travel being too troubleso, the deep Primitive Mountain would not escape her hunting hands.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she harvested at night, it was only ever stored in the still space. At ho, since she hadn’t officially gone up the mountain, there was no way for ga to appear out of thin air.
Over the past half a month, Zhang Shan Ni gradually opened up her ’true nature’ in front of Zhou Xiuhua, and her strength was gradually detected by Zhou Xiuhua. Over this half a month, the mother-in-law finally ca to accept the Third Son’s Wife’s powerful strength, which was simply a close second to Xie Jingchen of the Old Xie Family!
The old lady, unable to sleep beside her husband, kept muttering under her breath: Getting a wife for the Third Son, he sure has strong tastes that are unbearable for her to witness!
It truly took the old lady nearly a week to co to terms with the Third Son’s Wife’s formidable combat power.
Zhang Shan Ni possesses a strength that doesn’t lose out to Xie Jingchen’s; whether it’s chopping wood or carrying heavy loads, anything under two hundred jin is as easy as lifting feathers for her!
When it cos to the eldest son chopping wood, he’d take half an hour to chop a hundred jin of firewood and even need to take a rest in between. But when it’s Zhang Shan Ni’s turn, it’s just chop-chop-chop non-stop, and it takes less than ten minutes in total, even faster than the Third Son!
This skill, once revealed, not only shocked Xie Jingwei greatly, but also made Xu Xiaofen no longer dare to flaunt her ’elder sister’ role in front of Zhang Shan Ni!
Xie Tiesheng was the most composed, watching the Third Son’s Wife’s performance-like actions. Clasping in his hand the crispy peanuts fried by Zhang Shan Ni, he humd a little tune while enjoying them, couldn’t be happier.
At this mont, he only regretted not having two liang of white liquor in hand...
Hearing the Third Son’s Wife says she wants to go up the mountain, Zhou Xiuhua’s first instinctive reaction was preferring her not to go.
However, Xie Tiesheng noticed the Third Son’s Wife’s determined gaze and after thinking for a while, finally nodded in agreent.
For the first trip up the mountain, the old man also instructed that she must return ho before dark in the afternoon.
Originally Xie Tiesheng wanted the eldest son to accompany her, after all, though the Third Son’s Wife is strong, she’s still just a woman, and it’s safer to have a man with her.
But Xu Xiaofen was against the idea of her husband being alone with the sister-in-law, fearing it would invite gossip, thus, she spoke out even before Xie Jingwei, saying they were going to visit her parent’s ho.
Xie Jingwei wasn’t too keen on going anyway; these past few days, he had been working on the road construction every day, exhausted to the bone, lifting an arm felt draining, let alone hunting. He just wanted to sleep on the Kang for a whole day and night!
These days, the workload assigned by the production team for road construction was very heavy. Most of the village’s adult n had gone to work, as there was nearly a yuan’s daily wage enticing them, and many were eager to take on the job.
Despite being tired, for the sake of money, people still endured and took up the work.
Because of the high wage, the requirents were also high; those under sixteen or over fifty-five, and of course, won, were uniformly rejected.
For that daily wage of a yuan, Xie Jingwei really pushed himself. The family’s fields were now managed by both Zhang Shan Ni and the Eldest Aunt. As for Mr. Xie, with tasks already assigned by the production team, he could only occasionally tend to the fields.
Eldest brother-in-law, in order to make extra money, left the fields in the hands of the two won, sothing Zhang Shan Ni wasn’t quite content with. But on reflection, they had three children to provide for; relying solely on farming, where was the money to be made?
He was over thirty, and thinking of his own small family for a change, from his perspective, he hadn’t done anything wrong.
As for the fields, since the Eldest Aunt knew her husband was out earning extra money, she dared not slack off, especially when faced with Zhang Shan Ni’s calm, big apricot eyes and, contemplating her combat power, Xu Xiaofen dared not say an extra word let alone complain.
Earning extra cash was indeed legitimate, but to farrs, the fields are the lifeblood they depend on to survive.
