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

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Mingxuan, who had just stepped forward to go to Wanfu Teahouse, suddenly retreated, his face full of eagerness.

"Hiking and picking wild vegetables? That sounds more interesting than listening to folk songs! Xiuer, count me in! I want to go too!"

He was long tired of the same old soft-spoken tunes in the teahouses. A trip to the mountains and wilderness—how refreshing!

It's much more interesting than being dragged home by my father by the ear to look at the account books and facing two wooden, beautiful wives and concubines.

Lin Xiuer was taken aback when she saw the two young masters in front of her, who were in high spirits.

Her original intention was just to casually comfort Wu Liangcai, who was reluctant to leave the stroller, and take him hiking to help him get some exercise and lose weight. Unexpectedly, she got a free gift: Chen Mingxuan.

She glanced at Ping An instinctively.

Ping An had already put away the bottles and jars on the cart and was wiping the cart floor with a displeased expression.

Feeling her gaze, he looked up, his face expressionless, but when his dark eyes swept over Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan, the temperature noticeably dropped a few degrees.

His tightly pursed lips revealed his obvious rejection.

But the words were already out, and it was too late to regret them. Wu Liangcai waited anxiously, and Chen Mingxuan also looked on with anticipation.

"Alright," Lin Xiuer composed herself and readily agreed, deciding that she could always appease her man later that night.

"But let's make it clear beforehand: you have to listen to me when you go up the mountain. You can't run around, you can't complain about being tired, and you have to carry your own basket."

"No problem!" Wu Liangcai patted his chest to assure them, his body trembling slightly, but his aura was strong.

"I promise I'll listen!" Chen Mingxuan was full of confidence, as if he could already see himself transformed into a heroic herb-gathering knight.

"Hey Lin, are you starting a 'Young Master Transformation Camp'? Be careful not to exhaust these two gentlemen!"

Hu Yidao was tidying up the odds and ends on his stall, but his ears were constantly perked up.

Upon hearing Lin Xiuer say that she was going to take Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan home for dinner, especially after hearing that they would also go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables to cook something delicious, everyone was overjoyed.

He immediately pictured the pot of incredibly fragrant braised offal from last night, and his mouth nearly watered on the spot.

He quickly moved closer, rubbing his hands together and putting on a smile.

"You're just as much taking one or two along as you are, so why not take me along too?"

"I'm strong, and I can help you carry things. It's a great deal, as long as you let me have a meal."

Lin Xiuer was pondering the ghost story they hadn't finished discussing the night before when she suddenly came up with a few new ideas.

With more people, there will be more ideas. Besides, Hu Yidao is familiar with the town's situation, so having him around is a good opportunity to discuss things together.

Moreover, if those two young masters cause any trouble on the mountain, having more people around will provide extra protection.

So she nodded: "Okay. But I need to go buy some things I'll need for tomorrow first, then we'll go back together in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Lao Hu was overjoyed.

Finally, I don't have to go back to being alone with a cold stove and empty pots. There's also lively atmosphere and delicious food to look forward to. This trip was worthwhile!

He quickly and efficiently packed up his meat stall, preparing to close up shop.

Lin Xiuer, holding Ping An's hand and pushing the cart, led this hastily assembled wild vegetable-gathering team on her purchasing plan.

Our first stop was a bamboo weaving stall, where we picked out a brand-new, sturdy bamboo basket for each of Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan.

"Come on, young masters, get used to carrying this on your backs." Lin Xiuer handed them the baskets.

Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan took it with curiosity and clumsily carried it on their backs.

The empty basket wasn't heavy, but for these young masters who couldn't carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands, it was a strange and novel experience.

Wu Liangcai twisted his shoulders, while Chen Mingxuan straightened his chest, imitating the porters next to him.

Then they went to the grain store.

Lin Xiuer carefully selected various grains and rice noodles, haggling meticulously over the prices.

Her family is currently lacking everything. Today is market day in town, with many vendors selling a wide variety of goods at relatively low prices. She is eager to get everything she needs.

Passing by a stall selling bowls and plates, I bought a few more sets of ordinary new bowls and chopsticks.

The few chipped and broken bowls at home were enough for them to use, but they were simply not enough when there were more people.

I also bought two more earthenware jars with lids, which are suitable for storing sauces, lard, and pickling vegetables.

They shopped all the way, and the two young masters followed her, stopping and starting as they went, finding it all quite novel.

When they go out, either their servants take care of everything, or they go to restaurants and teahouses to order food directly.

The experience of browsing a market, picking out items, and haggling over prices is practically nonexistent.

The empty baskets on their backs were gradually filled with the things Lin Xiuer had bought.

A few bowls, a few pieces of fabric for making lining clothes, a bag of coarse salt, and a few bags of different varieties of rapeseed.

There were also a few tender green seedlings with their roots wrapped in wet mud and tied with straw rope.

She planned to make the most of every nook and cranny of the vegetable garden in the backyard, not wasting an inch of land.

A loofah trellis can be built on the top of the wall, and some lush, easy-to-grow chives can be planted along the back wall.

I can make dumplings and a loofah soup to cool down my liver when the time comes; just thinking about it makes me feel good.

As the basket gradually gained weight, Wu Liangcai's walking posture began to become a little awkward, and Chen Mingxuan also began to quietly adjust the straps.

Neither of them complained of being tired; on the contrary, they found it quite interesting. Especially seeing Lin Xiuer carrying a basket that was stuffed full and looked even heavier, how could they possibly admit defeat?

That woman, carrying that heavy basket on her back and holding two earthenware jars in her hands, walked steadily without complaining. They can't be worse off than a woman, can they?

The two young masters were also secretly vying with each other, gritting their teeth and persevering, determined not to let the servants do it for them.

In fact, over the past few days, under the subtle nourishment of her spiritual spring water, Lin Xiuer's physical strength has gradually far exceeded the level that her obese body should have.

She was so busy every day that she hadn't fully realized this change yet.

As Lin Xiuer passed by Liu Sanzhen's clothing shop, she turned and went inside.

"Brother Liu, I'm troubling you again."

She pointed to Ping An behind her, "It's getting hotter and hotter. I want to make two well-fitting short-sleeved shirts for my husband. The fabric should be breathable and absorbent."

Although earning money is not easy, you still have to spend what you need to spend, so she quoted Wang Shi and Xiao Bao's measurements.

"Make a summer outfit for my mother and my baby too, just make sure the material is sturdy and durable."

Liu Sanzhen's skills were among the best in town. He put down his work, took out a soft measuring tape, and came over to measure Ping An's dimensions.

Ping An cooperated by raising her arms and stretching her body.

As Liu Sanzhen took the measurements, he kept praising them.

"I didn't believe you when you told me last time. But after seeing it with my own eyes... Sister Lin, your man's physique is truly amazing!"

He measured Ping An's shoulder width and waist circumference, his eyes filled with the admiration a tailor would have for a good clothes hanger. "Those broad shoulders, that narrow waist, this is a natural clothes hanger! Everything looks good on him!"

Lin Xiuer felt secretly pleased. She had been completely captivated by his good physique back then, otherwise she wouldn't have succumbed to temptation and made love to him last night.

But speaking of serious matters, she really needs to go find her third brother as soon as she gets back and get a sturdier new bed made.
