Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

After the grain was emptied, the house instantly returned to its previous state. At first glance, it looked the same as before, but upon closer inspection, everything was different.

Just as Xu Qinghe was looking around her newly furnished home with satisfaction, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the front door.

A sense of urgency about the apocalypse made Xu Qinghe immediately cover up the grain jar.

Next, she closed the door to the main room to prevent anyone from peeking in from the courtyard. Only after all this was prepared did Xu Qinghe open the door.

As he walked towards the door, he calmly asked, "Who is it?"

Upon hearing Xu Qinghe's voice, Sister-in-law Shen outside the door was immediately furious and replied curtly, "I... open the door for me right now."

Although Xu Qinghe sensed the impatience in her tone, she still obediently opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Sister-in-law Shen with her hands on her hips and a fierce look on her face.

Logically speaking, since Sister-in-law Shen is Shen Zhi's sister-in-law, Xu Qinghe should address her as "Madam." However, since they are in the countryside, and Shen Zhi said that such formalities don't apply, Xu Qinghe hesitated for a moment before following Shen Zhi's lead and calling her "Sister-in-law."

He had barely finished calling her "Sister-in-law Shen" when he said with a look of disgust, "Sister-in-law what? Hurry up and give me those two taels of silver!"

Xu Qinghe remained calm. "No."

"No? I don't care! Shen Zhi spent the money I gave him to get married, so you all have to pay him back!"

Xu Qinghe was speechless. "Your brother is getting married, shouldn't he be paying for it himself? Why should we pay for it?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a cocky-looking man stepped out from behind Sister-in-law Shen, looking at Xu Qinghe with a disdainful expression and saying, "Just because he's my sister and Boss Shen is my brother-in-law, they have to tell me what to do."

"I don't care, you have to give me this money today, or I'm not leaving your house." After saying that, he gave Xu Qinghe a greasy look.

The malicious probing instantly displeased Xu Qinghe, and she became less polite, saying, "I said no, and that's it. Go find whoever promised." After saying that, she ignored them and slammed the door shut as fast as she could.

Enraged, Sister-in-law Shen raised her hand to knock on the door and scold Xu Qinghe.

Shen's sister-in-law's younger brother, Wang Mingliang, stopped her, saying, "Sister, stop knocking."

Sister-in-law Shen immediately became furious, "Why shouldn't you pay? If it weren't for buying her, your second son would have spent the money you would have used to get married."

"Now you've lost the money to get married, and your mother's gone mad with anger! How can I let her get away with this? She has to give me back the money today, or I'll sell her off to whoever she got it from."

Originally, Sister-in-law Shen wasn't so angry. Although she felt that her second son had taken the initiative to spend two taels of silver, she also took the opportunity to kick him out of the house with nothing, so she was the one who profited.

Who knew that when she returned to her parents' home and mentioned this matter, her mother scolded her severely, saying that she only cared about herself and not her family, and that she watched her family line die out without her consent. Shen Dasao couldn't swallow this and came to make a scene with Xu Qinghe.

Unexpectedly, her younger brother stopped her before she could even start yelling. "Why are you stopping me? I'm going to give her a piece of my mind today."

Wang Mingliang tugged at Sister-in-law Shen's arm and said with a sly grin, "Sister, listen to me!"

Seeing her brother's expression, Sister-in-law Shen knew he was up to no good. "What are you trying to say!"

Wang Mingliang's eyes lit up. "Sis, what do you think of her looks?"

Sister-in-law Shen frowned, recalling Xu Qinghe's earlier demeanor, and said with some disdain, "What else could it be? Just like that!"

Wang Mingliang knew his sister wasn't telling the truth the moment he saw her expression. "Sis, isn't she prettier than Cuicui?"

"You're saying that Second Brother Shen used the money meant for my wedding to buy himself a wife? Does that mean he bought her for me?"

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen's eyes immediately lit up. "That's right! The money meant for your wedding was used to buy her, so isn't she your wife?"

"You wait, I'll knock on the door right now and make her come with you. Once she's part of our family, let's see how arrogant she can be then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mingliang chuckled slyly, "Sis, once she marries me, we can do whatever we want with her."

Sister-in-law Shen instinctively reached for the door to knock, but stopped abruptly, turning to look at Wang Mingliang and saying, "She's been with the second son for several days now, Mother, don't you mind?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mingliang's face immediately darkened. Then, he heard Sister-in-law Shen say, "And what about Cuicui? She's been with you for years. How can you just replace her like that?"

Hearing Sister-in-law Shen's worried words, Wang Mingliang also hesitated, but Xu Qinghe's appearance just now really made him very tempted.

"Hmph! What's wrong with Zhang Cuicui? We've been together for so many years, and she still asks me for money because of her father."

"As for this woman, she really can't be my proper wife."

"Sister, how about this? You get me two taels of silver first, and I'll marry Cuicui. Then I'll bring her home and make her my concubine, how about that?"

Sister-in-law Shen frowned. "A concubine? Our family can't afford that, can we?"

Wang Mingliang: "How can we not afford to raise them? We still have Dad and brother-in-law."

Looking at her proud younger brother, Sister-in-law Shen finally agreed.

"Alright, let's ask the second brother for the money first, then we'll ask him for the people."

"Since the second brother isn't home, let's go back first and ask for the money when he gets back." After saying that, the two of them left without looking back.

At this moment, Xu Qinghe was completely unaware of the two's plan, her mind only focused on how to prepare the afternoon meal.

Xu Qinghe ate meat buns for breakfast and chicken for lunch, so she wanted to make something lighter for the afternoon.

But thinking about Shen Zhi's exhausting training, I couldn't make it too bland, so I simply made tofu with egg, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a pot of rice.

After preparing the meal, Xu Qinghe waited for Shen Zhi to return. While waiting for Shen Zhi's return, Xu Qinghe didn't rest but turned around and started studying the vegetable garden.

In ancient times, courtyards were very large, and each family had its own vegetable garden. However, because no one lived there for a long time, the vegetable gardens were abandoned.

The soil needed to be turned over before it could be used, so Xu Qinghe wanted to take advantage of the cooler nighttime to turn the soil over.

We'll start planting vegetables once the land is ready. After all, she bought so many vegetable seeds, and it feels like there's something I haven't finished if I don't plant them soon.

Just as Xu Qinghe was rolling up her sleeves and turning over the floor, there was another knock at the door.

Based on the time Shen Zhi returned yesterday, Xu Qinghe guessed it was him, but still asked, "Who is it?"

Then he heard that familiar "me". Shen Chengyue, who had been waiting nearby, heard that it was Shen Zhi and ran to the door. He then opened the door with a deft movement.

As Shen Zhi carried him into the courtyard with one arm, he searched for Xu Qinghe's figure.
