After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 205 Su Xiaoxiao Begs for Forgiveness
Actually, the reason my uncle was so angry that day was because he believed the bad things that Granny Liu in the village said about Su Xiaoxiao. That's why he scolded Su Xiaoxiao and kicked her out of his house on New Year's Eve.

Actually, after just getting to know them, my uncle realized that these people are all quite easy to get along with and are all good people.

Since they are Su Xiaoxiao's friends, they are like family to her.

Su Xiaoxiao showed her uncle around the new house; there were so many rooms that her uncle was completely bewildered.

Looking at the very modern decor, the uncle's face showed great envy, and he nodded in praise repeatedly.

"This house is so beautiful, Xiaoxiao. I'm relieved to see you're doing so well. There's something else. Su Bingcheng told us all about it when he got back. You not only helped him pay off his gambling debts, but you also gave him money to open a hot pot restaurant. Xiaoxiao, you saved him. Now he's changed. He's made some money and even bought a lot of gifts for me and your aunt..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao smiled; it was a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart.

“Uncle, I’m so happy to see my cousin’s transformation. We’re all family, so helping him is helping me, and helping you and Auntie. Don’t worry, our lives will definitely get better and better in the future.”

Uncle was so moved by what Su Xiaoxiao said that he almost cried.

"Stop crying, it's so hot at midday. I just made some duck and vermicelli soup and pork rib and winter melon soup to help everyone cool down. They're very nourishing. Uncle, why don't you stay and have lunch before you leave?"

"Yes, stay here. We've all benefited from your help. Su Xiaoxiao only mentioned stewing pork rib soup earlier, but now she's added old duck soup as well."

The Emperor was already drooling. He was extremely attentive to his uncle, smelling the delicious aroma wafting from Su Xiaoxiao's kitchen.

Finally, the uncle agreed to stay for lunch, and Su Xiaoxiao even prepared some delicious and refreshing side dishes for them. This was because it was too hot working in the fields during the day, and these dishes were perfect for eating with rice.

Before leaving, Su Xiaoxiao packed up the old duck soup for her uncle, saying she wanted to send a portion back to her aunt so she could taste her cooking.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw her uncle to the door, he looked around to make sure no one was there, and then quietly asked her a question.

"Which of those two men inside do you like? I think they both seem to be interested in you."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly interrupted her uncle, "The older one and the younger one are sworn brothers. I, please don't try to match them up, okay?"

Uncle laughed when he heard that, "I think the younger one is pretty good, but the guy with the beard looks like he's got a lot of money..."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. My uncle could tell at a glance that the emperor was very rich. He really is rich; every blade of grass and every tree in the entire country belongs to him."

After seeing her uncle off, Su Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved. She felt that receiving blessings and understanding from her family was the greatest happiness.

After lunch, Su Xiaoxiao and the others had a full meal. In the countryside, if you could lie on the kang (a heated brick bed) at home, with a cool breeze blowing in from the window from time to time, and take a very pleasant nap, it would truly be a pleasure.

Everyone slept for more than an hour and didn't want to get up to work anymore; they wished they could sleep until night.

The afternoon sun was intense, and the air was still. Going outside in the sweltering heat would make you trip and fall flat on your face, then lie motionless on the ground. The coolest spots were actually under the shade of large trees or houses; lying flat on the ground for a while would immediately cool you down and bring you back to life. Passing by the fields, Su Xiaoxiao saw that the rapeseed flowers had turned golden yellow, and the stalks were laden with seeds, some of which had already burst open and fallen to the ground. She realized she had to start picking them now.

Su Xiaoxiao prepared sun-protective hats for everyone this time. They looked a bit ugly, but they could block a lot of the sun's intense rays.

The workers that Su Xiaoxiao hired to work in the fields were each paid thirty coins a day, which was considered a fairly high wage.

In the afternoon, the rapeseed field began to be harvested. An older worker said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Your rapeseed is probably harvested a bit late. It's almost as tall as a person's chest now, so it's a bit of a hassle."

Su Xiaoxiao said to them, "Why don't we harvest rapeseed like wheat? The stalks can be dried and used for firewood. Don't complain that the sweet stalks are too hard. We'll give you extra money later."

Su Xiaoxiao generously decided to give everyone more money, and as a result, everyone's enthusiasm for work immediately soared again.

The sound of "crunching" came out, and everyone saw that all the rapeseed flowers in the field had fallen to the ground in an instant. Then, some people began to tie them up little by little.

Actually, this time, the Emperor helped a lot because of Su Xiaoxiao; the fact that he was able to get out of bed and help with the work says it all.

Seeing the rapeseed flowers growing in the fields slowly ripening, creating a beautiful golden scene everywhere, the emperor was in a very good mood.

In my heart, I kept exclaiming, "The situation is excellent, the country is prosperous and the people are at peace!"

The main reason Su Xiaoxiao bought this field of rapeseed flowers was because oil could be extracted from them.

The afternoon always seemed to pass so slowly. Everyone had just woken up and was still a little sleepy. But here, with rapeseed flowers, there were many bees constantly flying around. Su Xiaoxiao reminded everyone not to get stung by the bees, otherwise it would be a real hassle.

Although being stung by a bee is not a big deal, it might delay your work.

There were many bees flying around the emperor, and he seemed quite curious, occasionally stopping his work to observe them.

Su Xiaoxiao tried her best not to provoke the bees. When she heard the bees buzzing around her, she could only slow down her harvesting to avoid disturbing them.

She even suspected that there might be a beehive nearby. Just as she was thinking this, Pei Yuan kept waving at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, come quick! There's a beehive here."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao perked up. If there were bees, it meant there was a beehive here, which meant she could go and collect honey.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly walked towards Pei Yuan. Pei Yuan was standing in a place where the rapeseed flowers were growing a little taller. On one of the small mounds, there really was a small beehive.

Suddenly, a rather large bee fell out of the hive; it was the queen bee.
