Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

In the courtyard, my second uncle and second brother were struggling with the weeds.

The grass grows really wildly, reaching knee-high, and in some places almost waist-high.

Liu Erniu was strong; he could pull up a large handful of grass at a time, uprooting it and throwing it into a pile against the wall.

Following behind, Liu Tiechui used a hoe to dig up the grass with deep roots, while he was responsible for gathering the grass into piles and then sweeping away the mud with a broom.

Liu Erniu weeded for a while, then straightened up to catch his breath. Looking at the work all over the yard, he clicked his tongue and said, "This house hasn't been lived in for more than a year, and the weeds have grown way too fast!"

As he spoke, he squatted down again and continued to pull, while talking to his nephew, "Iron Hammer, your Tao girl is quite bold, daring to bring you all here."

They only spent ten coins a month to move into such a big house.

This girl is quite the lucky charm.

Liu Tiechui kept his head down and worked without saying a word, but Taozhi spoke up: "Second Uncle, you're right, my little sister is a lucky star."

If she doesn't come back, we'll still be the same as before.

I still don't know how to treat my parents' injuries!

Who knows what other ways Grandma and the others will order them around!

"Oh, your grandma and grandpa really let your parents down."

But that's all in the past now. From now on, take good care of your parents and your sister.

However, your grandfather and his family are your elders after all, so don't hold a grudge against them.

Liu Erniu was genuinely happy for his elder brother, at least his brother wouldn't have to live such a stifling and miserable life anymore.

He can finally enjoy some good days.

"Second Uncle, I won't hold a grudge against them, but it's impossible for me to be nice to them."

I will never forget how they treated us, especially my grandmother, who sold her younger sister when she was little to get money.

They made my mother blind; I can never forgive them.

My older brother will not forgive them either.

Liu Tiechui said angrily.

Because of the resentment in his heart, he increased the force in his hands.

He wouldn't have swallowed his anger if killing them wasn't considered treasonous and punishable by imprisonment.

Seeing his nephew's tone, Liu Erniu could tell that he was filled with boundless hatred.

So he patiently persuaded, "Iron Hammer, if you don't want to forgive, then don't forgive!"

Anyway, we won't be living together anymore.

But your second uncle advises you not to do anything foolish.

Now that Peach Girl is back, your family is reunited, and you have a long and happy life ahead of you!

Just a moment ago, he really saw the murderous intent in his nephew's eyes.

"Second Uncle, don't worry. Although I may be reckless at times, I'm not stupid. I know what I should and shouldn't do."

Those people don't deserve to dirty my hands.

"That's good, that's good. You scared your second uncle just now."

Enough of that, let's get to work!

We need to get all this done before dark.

As they were talking, Tao'er overheard these words and thought to herself that her second uncle genuinely hoped that their eldest son's family would live a good life.

Let's slowly bring their second wife out to live a better life too!

Tao'er looked at her second uncle and second brother, who were covered in sweat, and took out a large watermelon from her spatial storage.

Those were planted in her spatial dimension before she returned; the watermelon seeds were bought at the farmers' market before she transmigrated.

She carried the bright red watermelon into the yard and called out, "Second Uncle, Second Brother, rest for a while and have something to quench your thirst."

Tao'er placed the watermelon on the clean stone table in the yard.

"Peach Girl, what is this?"

It looks so red, is it edible?

Liu Erniu pointed to the pieces of food on the tray on the stone table.

"Wow, this thing looks so pretty, and there are dark seeds inside."

Little sister, what's this strange thing?

How did you conjure that up?

Liu Tiechui asked, puzzled.

"This is called a watermelon. I asked Qingge to buy it at the market yesterday."

It's incredibly thirst-quenching, and has a sweet, refreshing taste. You should all try it!

"Peach Girl, we've never seen this before. Is it edible?"

You can't just eat anything, what if you get poisoned?

"Qingge is such a young girl, she might have been scammed, right?"

Liu Erniu looked worried!

Elders say that brightly colored things are generally poisonous, and the more vibrant the color, the more toxic it is.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tiechui immediately frowned. "Little sister, maybe we shouldn't eat it."

It wouldn't be good if I got an upset stomach.

There's well water in this yard, let's drink some!

Tao'er was both amused and exasperated. She shook her head, picked up a piece, and popped it into her mouth. "Mmm, so sweet and delicious!"

Liu Tiechui was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted, "Little sister, throw up quickly!"

Liu Erniu quickly added, "Tao Yatou, spit it out!"

Instead of stopping, Tao'er quickly finished the whole piece.

He then smiled and explained, "Second Uncle, Second Brother, please eat without worry."

This stuff is not only non-toxic, but it's also good for beauty and skin health.

This is a delicious fruit called watermelon. We don't have it here, but it's found in other places.

It's not surprising that you haven't seen it; I have, and I've eaten it.

Seeing that Tao'er ate it and felt no discomfort, the two of them boldly began to eat as well.

Once they started eating, they couldn't stop, saying it was a delicacy and they had never tasted anything so delicious.

Tao'er smiled and said, "You guys enjoy your food. I'll take some over to my second aunt and eldest brother so they can have a taste."

"Okay, Peach, go ahead!"

Liu Erniu nodded as he ate.

Liu Tiechui could only grunt, his mouth stuffed full.

My second aunt, eldest brother, and second uncle had similar reactions; they were initially hesitant to eat, but later couldn't stop.

"Peach Girl, thanks to you, your second aunt is able to eat such heavenly delicacies."

"If you ever need anything in the future, just ask my two girls for help."

Madam Xu thought to herself that Tao'er was willing to take out such good food for them, which showed that she did not treat them as outsiders.

She didn't have any special skills, so she could only help out when she could.

"Second Aunt, if our eldest son's family ever needs anything, we will definitely let you and Second Uncle know."

Eat as much as you like.

Tao'er knew that her second aunt was a simple peasant woman, and this was probably how she expressed her gratitude.

Qingge looked at Tao'er with admiration, thinking that following the girl was definitely the right decision; she was truly capable.

"Girl, I'm living a life of luxury with you; it's sweeter than honey."

Qingge talked as she ate.

The girl was not only capable, but she also treated her very well, not like a servant.

She was content to have such a master.

It's so much better than the days of fighting and killing before.

Xiuxiu was very reserved; she ate two pieces and then stopped. Her gratitude and admiration for her cousin grew even stronger.

"Cousin Tao'er, can I come and talk to you when I have time?"

"If you're not afraid of this house, you're welcome to come anytime."

Tao'er knew that Xiuxiu had her own little schemes, but they weren't bad, so she didn't object.

Shiliu was the one who ate the watermelon the most, constantly saying, "Cousin Tao'er, this watermelon is so delicious!"

This is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten in my life.

Cousin Tao'er, I like you!

Shi Liu's sincere and straightforward words made everyone laugh.

One hour later.

The main room has been completely transformed. The original wood color of the tables and chairs has been polished back, and although much of the dark red paint has chipped off, it still looks quite charming.

The ground has been swept, and although some of the blue bricks are chipped, it looks clean and pleasing to the eye.

Madam Xu directed Xiuxiu to roll up the old bedding. "Xiuxiu, put these in the side room. We can wash them clean and keep them for later use."

Then he said to Xiuxiu, "The main room is almost done, let's go clean the other rooms."

The inner room is the largest main room, which will be where Tao'er and the others will live from now on.

This house originally belonged to Miss Li Wanyu of the Li family, but she is now married.

Inside was a four-poster bed, made of pear wood, carved with flowers, very sturdy, but covered in dust.

Qingge carefully wiped the bed frame with a rag, and then wiped the small cabinet by the bed.

Qingge swept the dust off the floor, and Shiliu leaned out the window to look outside, calling out, "Miss, if the morning sun comes out, it can shine directly into the house."

"Yes, this room is sunny, that's perfect!"

It seems that Mr. Li dotes on his daughter, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged the best room for her.

Just then, Wang's cursing voice came from outside.

"Second son, second son's wife, you two come out here right now!"
