Transmigrated into a fat wife, farming, raising children, and picking up husbands

The wall was repaired, and the roofs of the main house and side rooms were quickly completed as well.

The new tiles were laid neatly, and the doors and windows were replaced with new ones, painted with clear varnish, and gleamed in the sun.

The main courtyard has three rooms, with the central room being the main hall. Lin Xiuer lives in the room on the east side, while Wang Shi lives in the room on the west side.

The kitchen was set up in the west wing, and Xiao Bao had one room and Xiao He had one room in the east wing.

No more running between the village and the town every day.

On the day we moved into the garden, Xiao Bao ran around the yard several times, touching and looking at everything, he was overjoyed.

"Mom! We have a new home!" he called out, looking up at his mother.

Lin Xiuer had only been in town for two days when Xinglong Gambling House was suddenly shut down, causing a sensation throughout the town.

I heard that Zhao Tianba was arrested and imprisoned in the county jail. His men either ran away or were arrested; none of them were left.

Now Peach Blossom Town is finally at peace, and the villagers are all applauding.

Pei Zhao left her a lot of money. Now that the garden is almost finished and the danger has been eliminated, it's time to put the opening of the shop on the agenda.

These past few days, Liu Ruyan has been helping Lin Xiuer inquire about shops near the dock.

This area is close to the pier, with a lot of foot traffic and numerous shops and inns.

Not far from the teahouse is a shop that used to be a general store. The owner is getting old and is going back to his hometown to retire, so he's planning to rent it out.

Lin Xiuer went to take a look; the shop was quite large and in a good location.

The space is conveniently divided in the middle; the front can be modified to make a shop, and the back warehouse can be converted into a kitchen.

When Chen Mingxuan and Wu Liangcai heard that she was going to open a shop, they were more enthusiastic than anyone else.

"Xiuer, I want to invest!"

"Sister Lin, I want to invest too! Just tell me how much, and I'll ask my dad for it!"

The two argued back and forth, giving Lin Xiuer a headache.

"Can you keep accounts?" she asked.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Won't."

"So what kind of shares are you investing in?"

Chen Mingxuan said matter-of-factly, "It doesn't matter if you can't do accounting, as long as you come to eat every day!"

Wu Liangcai nodded vigorously.

Lin Xiuer was both amused and exasperated.

The first person to object to Chen Mingxuan's investment was his father, Old Master Chen.

"You're investing?" Old Master Chen glared at his adopted son. "You brat, what can you do besides eat? Investing in what?"

"Madam Lin has worked so hard to open her shop, why are you causing trouble!"

The day after he scolded his son, he personally went to Lin Xiuer's house.

"Hehe, Madam Lin," Master Chen got straight to the point, "If you want to open a shop, my son is unreliable. If you want to cooperate, just come to me."

Lin Xiuer was stunned for a moment.

Mr. Chen continued, "Look, I've been running this shop for over ten years. I have more experience than you. I can do accounting and I know how to run a business."

"I can also get you an experienced manager from the rice shop to mentor you, teach you how to do accounting, how to source goods, and how to deal with people."

"You have the skills, I have the experience; we are the best partners."

Lin Xiuer thought about it and realized that made sense, so she nodded.

She had no experience in opening a shop, so having an experienced shopkeeper to teach her was definitely the best thing that could happen.

Moreover, with Chen Mingxuan acting as her inside man, she wasn't afraid of this old man tricking her.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Chen."

Every morning, she would set up her stall to sell pancakes as usual. After tidying up the house, she would also oversee the shop's renovation. In addition, she ate very little every day, so Lin Xiuer lost weight very quickly.

A month later, her jawline became clearly defined.

Her once round cheeks have sunken in, revealing a beautiful contour.

My waist has become slimmer, the new clothes are no longer tight, and I feel lighter when I walk.

Every time Wu Liangcai saw her, he would stare at her face for a long time, then lower his head, pinch the flesh on his stomach, and sigh.

"Sister Lin, how did you lose weight so quickly? Please teach me!"

Lin Xiuer didn't even look up: "Work more, eat less."

Wu Liangcai nodded and tried it for a few days.

He'd be willing to work, but if he missed a single meal, he'd get so hungry he'd see stars. He couldn't take it anymore and ran back to eating braised pig's trotters.

However, these days, he either comes to the garden to weed and hoe, or goes up the mountain with Lin Xiuer to collect spices.

He's exhausted every day, like a dog, and has indeed lost a lot of weight, which makes his dad so happy that he praises him to everyone he meets.

The happiest person after moving into the new garden is Xiao Bao, who runs around the yard like crazy every day.

While Lin Xiuer and the others were clearing land and planting vegetables in the backyard, he was in the yard, chasing chickens, teasing dogs, catching grasshoppers, and playing hide-and-seek with Gou Dan.

They lived like gods, incredibly happy.

Watching his carefree figure running around the courtyard, Lin Xiuer suddenly thought, "It's time to send him to school."

Xiao Bao's face fell when he heard this.

"Mother! I don't want to go to school!"

"no."

"I'm not going! I'm not going!"

Lin Xiuer squatted down and looked at him: "Why aren't you going?"

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Bao finally blurted out, "I can't play anymore if I go to school!"

Lin Xiuer smiled and patted his head: "You can play at school too. You can also develop your intelligence earlier."

"After learning to read, I can read lots and lots of interesting books, understand things, and even help my mother with the accounts."

Xiao Bao blinked, looking a little hesitant.

But he still didn't want to go.

However, it was no use.

Once his mother has made up her mind, nothing can change it.

The next day, Xiao Bao was taken to school.

The school was only about a hundred meters away from his house.

The teacher was an old scholar in his fifties who had taught for more than twenty years, and most of the children in the town were his students.

On Xiao Bao's first day there, he cried like crazy, clinging to Lin Xiuer's leg and refusing to let go.

Master Zhou looked at the fair-skinned little boy before him and asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Bao was about to say "Xiao Bao" when Lin Xiuer spoke first.

"Lin Yi".

She glanced down at Xiao Bao, then looked at the teacher: "What do you think of Yu Liyi, teacher?"

Master Zhou stroked his beard and nodded: "Lin Yi. Yi as in spreading wings, a good name. Ambitious and hopeful."

He lowered his head and looked at Xiao Bao: "From now on, your name will be Lin Yi, remember that?"

Xiao Bao tilted his head back and repeated the name Lin Yi in his mind several times.

Lin Yi found it difficult to adapt during the first few days of being confined to the school.

I have to carry my schoolbag to school every day.

I would sit there for the whole morning, listening to the Master talk about classical Chinese texts.

Your hands should be placed neatly on the table, your feet should not move around, and your eyes should be focused on the book.

What could be more fun than running around wildly in the yard? He wanted to skip school several times. But every time the thought crossed his mind, the teacher would call on him to recite his lessons.

He stood up, stammered a few lines, and surprisingly, recited them correctly. The teacher stroked his beard and nodded: "Not bad. Sit down."

Lin Yi sat down, feeling a little happy.

He later discovered that he could memorize the words in those books at a glance.

He understood those sentences after the Master explained them once.

While other children were still stammering through their lessons, he had already memorized them.

The teacher praised him, saying, "Lin Yi is a clever child."

He'd be happy for half a day if you praised him once.

After being praised twice, he felt that going to school wasn't so bad after all.

If you praise him three times, he'll get up early every day, carry his schoolbag, and go to school by himself. When he gets back, he'll review his lessons and write the words he learned during the day several times.

After he finished writing, he showed it to his mother. His mother patted his head and said, "Great job!" which made him even more enthusiastic.

That little figure, sitting upright, wrote each stroke carefully.
