After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 55 Upgrades Both Timelines

Su Chunsen nodded repeatedly, "You can arrange it as you see fit. Before Xiaoyu gets married, ask someone to pass on a message to us that if we can go back, we definitely will."

After the two brothers discussed and agreed on the plan, Su Chunlin bought some things in the county town before driving the oxcart back to the village.

Su Chunlin, who had just returned to the village, was not in a hurry to go to the village chief's house to reply, but instead slowly packed his things.

When Han saw that he had bought a lot of summer cloth, she was surprised and asked, "Have you struck it rich?"

Su Chunlin was speechless. "How did we get rich? It was all bought with our family's money. We were thinking that the new clothes we made last year were all winter coats, and we could start making summer clothes now. The fabric shops in the county town are big, and some of the fabrics are even cheaper than in our town. Since it's a rare trip, we bought some."

The couple were talking when Su Changxi and Huang arrived.

As soon as the two entered, they praised Su Chunlin for his competence and then complimented their family's ox.

This left Han in a state of bewilderment, both amused and exasperated.

Su Changxi also felt a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat and looked nervously at Su Chunlin, "Brother, do your elder brother and sister-in-law agree?"

Su Chunlin revealed a meaningful, mischievous smile, and finally nodded emphatically, saying with a smile, "With your family's conditions, you'd be considered very well-off in the surrounding area. My elder brother and sister-in-law are naturally satisfied. However, since they live in the county town, it might not be easy for them to come out. So, we've left Xiaoyu's marriage arrangements entirely to you. I wonder if you've decided on a wedding date yet?"

Upon hearing this, Huang knew that Su Chunlin had something in mind, and immediately stated, "You decide the wedding date, and everything will be done with you first. We can talk to you about it."

Su Chunlin was satisfied and then shared his thoughts.

Ultimately, both families set the wedding date for the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.

Because Su Yu was to be married off from that unfinished courtyard, Su Changxi and Su Sheng were more concerned than anyone else, and they could urge the villagers to speed up the process without Su Chunlin even having to keep an eye on them.

Han then took Su Yu to town and selected a large piece of red fabric to make her wedding dress.

From this day forward, Su Yu will be staying in the backyard making her wedding dress.

Ruan Xiaoyu was very diligent and eager to learn. Whenever she had free time, she would go to the backyard to help. Su Tai found it interesting, but she was not naturally good at it. After being pricked by the needle twice, she ran away.

Madam Han shook her head, her brows furrowed with worry. "This girl is getting married after the autumn harvest, and she even has trouble holding a needle and thread. What are we going to do!"

Su Yu smiled secretly, "Little Tai is pampered by her aunt, and her brother-in-law seems to do everything she wants, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't bring needle and thread."

Madam Han loved to hear this, and immediately smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared. "That may be true, but she still has to embroider a few stitches herself on the wedding dress."

Ruan Xiaoyu, holding a needle and thread, said seriously, "Auntie, once I learn how, I'll help my sister make it. My sister can just put the thread away."

"Just spoil her then!" Madam Han shook her head helplessly.

At this moment, Su Tai is watching the groundhogs work in the Earth Dimension. Once this batch of vegetables and rice is harvested, the amount of crops she can hand over to the Earth Dimension will exceed 100,000 jin, which can upgrade the Earth Dimension and at the same time upgrade the Wood Dimension to level two, which is very important to her.

Less than half of the four acres of vegetable garden had been harvested. The soil spacetime was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once the changes stabilized, the working ground mice all chirped and jumped around.

After visually assessing the situation, Su Tai discovered that she had gained six mu of fertile land and six mu of paddy fields, which meant that she now had ten mu of fertile land and ten mu of paddy fields in the Earth Time-Space.

After a brief moment of panic, the gophers resumed their work in an orderly manner.

Su Tai waited until they had finished harvesting all the cabbages and rice before leaving the Earth Dimension. With all the crops sold, her virtual currency balance once again reached five figures.

Unfortunately, with so much more land, she couldn't manage it all by herself. She would still need to hire gophers. The extra twelve acres would require twenty-four gophers, but with her limited funds, she could only hire ten at most. She would also need to set aside some money for seeds, so she was afraid that even hiring ten gophers wouldn't be enough.

Su Tai sighed and turned to walk towards the Wood Dimension.

After the upgrade of the Wood Dimension, a fresh vegetable supply store was added, which had a wide variety of vegetables. Su Tai looked around and was a little confused. This store didn't seem to be of much use to her.

She then returned to the transfer station and checked the rules.

Once you reach level two in Wood Time and Space, you'll unlock the Vegetable Shop. You'll need to spend 10,000 coins at the Vegetable Shop to unlock level three.

The Earth Time and Space has already reached level four, and unlocking level five requires paying 500,000 catties of crops.

This number made Su Tai's eyes light up. It took her more than a year to save 100,000 catties of crops. Wouldn't it take four or five years to save 500,000 catties?

However, with her current strength, she can't even manage these fields, so there seems to be no need for her to upgrade.

Su Tai made a self-deprecating remark and went to the Wood Dimension Seed Shop.

With too much land and too few workers, the land must be re-planned and allocated. Since cabbage is more cost-effective than rice, she decided to temporarily put the paddy fields aside and assign all the gophers to work in the cabbage fields. If there is any surplus, then rice will be planted.

After she finished planning, the virtual currency balance was cleared again. The Earth Time Space had eight more ground squirrels than before. They temporarily cultivated ten acres of fertile land and two acres of paddy fields, leaving the remaining eight acres of paddy fields unattended until later.

At this time, there were more wild vegetables in the mountains. Su Tai was impatient to follow Han Shi and the others to get needles and thread, so she carried a wicker basket into the mountains to dig wild vegetables and herbs. She could sell some virtual currency and add some dishes to the family. Occasionally, when she felt like it, she would buy some fresh vegetables from the Mu Shi Kong Vegetable Shop.

Anyway, no one in the family recognized it, so they just said it was picked from the mountains and no one would pursue the matter.

Su Zhan and Su Ming couldn't stop thinking about the vegetables she bought and kept insisting on going into the mountains with her, but Su Chunlin stopped them.

"Dad is planning to visit your aunt's house. Your mother is busy making clothes, so the work in the fields can only be done by you."

The two Su brothers looked bewildered. "Dad, where does Auntie live?"

Su Chunlin patiently said, "It's far! It takes five days to go from our home and back."

"So far away!" Su Ming snapped out of his daze and immediately rushed into the house to report this important matter to Madam Han.

Han, disregarding her work, came out to ask questions, which alerted Su Tai and the others.

"Honey, are you really planning to go to the ice fields?"

Seeing the worry on Han's face, Su Tai's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Icefield? What icefield?"

Han glanced at Su Tai, her interest waning. "The ice plains are grasslands at the foot of glaciers, quite far from here. No crops can be grown there; every household raises cattle and sheep. Your uncle took your aunt away with just two sheep back then."

Su Tai had no idea there was a glacier here, and looked at Han Shi with a fascination that suggested she had never seen anything like it before. Han Shi was even more worried. "Why are you so excited? The glacier is bitterly cold, with snowstorms or inexplicable downpours. There isn't even a decent tree, and there are jackals too. Life is tough!"

Almost all the girls there marry out of the area, so it's not easy for men to find wives. Otherwise, your uncle wouldn't have traveled all that way with two sheep to come here and ask for a wife.
