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

But then she noticed that Xu Qinghe didn't seem to want to eat. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"It's too early, I don't want to eat," Xu Qinghe replied lazily.

Shen Zhi looked at the large basin in front of him, picked it up, and was about to walk out when Xu Qinghe was startled and quickly stood up after him, asking, "Where are you going?"

Shen Zhi: "I'll leave some for you."

Xu Qinghe sighed, "No need, there's still a big bowl in the pot."

"These are all specially served to you. Eat them all, don't leave any." After saying that, she lazily sat back down.

Seeing her like this, Shen Zhi didn't say anything and slurped up the whole bowl of noodles.

After finishing his meal, he stood up and said, "I'm going to the sanatorium. I'll save the heavy work for when I get back."

Xu Qinghe nodded, "Yes, be careful at the garrison."

Shen Zhi nodded, "Okay." Then he went out the door.

As soon as Shen Zhiyi left, Xu Qinghe immediately perked up, took out the seeds she had bought the day before yesterday from her basket, and went outside.

As she walked, she used her supernatural abilities to check the seed's activity. Although she couldn't use her abilities to check the seed's variety, she could still tell whether the seed was alive.

Before long, Xu Qinghe picked out the seeds that couldn't be planted, and then divided the land into small plots.

She planted each packet in a plot of land, and soon the vegetable garden was filled with seeds. After planting the seeds, Xu Qinghe started watering them, using a ladle to water the furrows where the seeds were placed, just enough to soak the soil around the seeds, and then she started covering them with soil.

Before planting, Xu Qinghe had nourished the seeds with her special ability, and with the soil quality here, they should have no problem taking root and sprouting.

The only uncertainty is what will grow, since they are all seeds. Many grains in later generations have replaced the seeds, and she can't recognize them all, so she can only open blind boxes.

After finishing tending the vegetable garden, the two children woke up. Xu Qinghe helped them wash up and then served them noodles.

It was the first time the two children had ever eaten handmade noodles, and they both ate them with their hands and eyes covered in grime, looking like little kittens.

Taking the opportunity, Shen Chengyue asked, "Auntie, these noodles are really delicious. Can we have them for lunch again?"

Xu Qinghe chuckled as she wiped his mouth, readily agreeing, "Okay."

"I'll make you a lot for lunch, eat as much as you want."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately cheered with joy. After finishing their meal, Xu Qinghe took the two of them out the door.

Shen Zhi carried the water from the water tank at home back bucket by bucket. Xu Qinghe felt it was a waste to use it to wash clothes, so she decided to take them to the river instead.

The correct answer is that Shen Chengyue took her, because she didn't know the way to the river.

Shen Chengyue led her along a relatively secluded road outside the village, and it took them about 15 minutes to reach their destination.

When I arrived, I found that many people were already squatting down washing clothes.

Xu Qinghe looked around and found a quiet spot to take the two children there.

Just then, an old woman looked at her kindly and said, "You must be Shen Zhi's wife?"

As soon as she said this, the women around her all looked at her. Xu Qinghe felt a little embarrassed by their stares and quickly explained, "No, I'm the maid that Brother Shen bought."

Aunt Shen was taken aback. "Maid, aren't you Shen Zhi's wife?"

Xu Qinghe shook her head slightly, "No." After saying that, she led the two children to a secluded place.

As soon as she left, everyone started whispering, "Is this Shen Lao Er rich? He's willing to buy maids, but unwilling to buy himself a wife."

"Can I really trust you to keep such a beautiful maid at home?"

"Do you think Shen Zhi might be impotent? Is that why he bought a maid instead of a wife?"

"That's quite possible. Why would Shen Zhi suddenly return from the southern battlefield?"

"I heard he was doing really well back then, and was even appreciated by a powerful figure. Why would he come here as a lowly soldier? It's because he injured his manhood and couldn't stay any longer."

As whispers arose, Aunt Shen's face grew increasingly dark. "Shut up! What others buy is none of your business." With that, she picked up the basin and walked towards Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe noticed her approaching and quickly called out, "Auntie."

Aunt Shen gave her a kind look, then continued to ask, "Are you really the maid Shen Zhi bought?"

Xu Qinghe saw kindness in her, so she didn't hide anything, "Yes, really."

"Brother Shen saw that I was having a hard time all by myself, so he bought me to take care of the two little ones."

Aunt Shen glanced at the two children subconsciously. Seeing how clean and tidy they were, she realized that something had happened.

The Shen family is truly wicked! They can't even tolerate their own two children, forcing their own son to separate from the family and hire maids to take care of them.

"I am Aunt Shen Zhi. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. I will definitely lend a hand if I can."

Xu Qinghe quickly thanked him after hearing this.

Just as the two were talking, a little girl of eight or nine years old suddenly hurriedly packed her clothes, picked up a basin, and ran home.

He ran while shouting, "Mom! Something bad has happened! Mom, something bad has happened!"

Just as Sister-in-law Shen finished eating and was about to take a nap, she heard her eldest daughter rush in, making a ruckus. She immediately scolded her impatiently, "I'm not dead yet! What do you mean 'not good'?"

The young maid stood with her hands on her hips, panting heavily, "It's not that you're in trouble, it's that Second Uncle's family is in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen immediately perked up. "What happened? Did that little slut run away?"

Shen Erya: "No."

"It's the woman my second uncle bought, not my second aunt, but a maid my second uncle bought."

Sister-in-law Shen frowned. "What? Not your second aunt, but a maid?"

"Yes, I heard it from her own ears."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister-in-law Shen excitedly slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "We're rich! We're rich!"

"No, I have to go to your maternal grandmother's house right now and have your uncle come and pick her up. Two taels of silver is a good price to pay for a wife." With that, he rushed out.

As soon as she stepped outside, Shen's mother came over and asked Er Ya, "Where did your mother go?"

Shen Erya: "I went to my maternal grandmother's house to find a wife for my uncle."

Shen's mother was taken aback. "Didn't your mother run out of money?"

Shen Erya: "No need for money."

Mother Shen muttered, "No need for money? Who's so stupid as to marry off such a scoundrel?" Then she didn't pay any more attention and went about her business.

Xu Qinghe was unaware of Shen Dasao's plans. After washing the clothes, she took the two children back home, intending to go up the mountain again in the afternoon to see if she could find anything else.

Just as Xu Qinghe was preparing to go up the mountain in the afternoon, a loud horn suddenly sounded at the door, followed by knocking.

Xu Qinghe was stunned. Before she could ask, Shen's sister-in-law's voice came from outside, "Sister-in-law! Open the door quickly."
