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

Ping An's tone was very calm, as if he were saying something as simple as stepping on a few ants.

Lin Xiuer and Hu Yidao were both startled!

In a flash, the two of them almost simultaneously reached out and covered Ping An's mouth tightly from both sides!

"Ugh!" Ping An was completely covered up and seemed surprised by their strong reaction, blinking in astonishment.

The three exchanged a glance, held their breath, and, under the cover of the wind and swaying grass, silently retreated through the collapsed opening in the abandoned garden, like three shadows blending into the night, following the path they had come from.

Lin Xiuer and Hu Yidao only breathed a sigh of relief after retreating to the edge of a wild grove outside the garden wall and confirming that it was safe to do so.

Hu Yidao wiped the sweat from his brow, looking at Ping An with lingering fear, and lowered his voice, saying, "My little darling! You can't say things like that! Murder is a capital offense! It's a capital crime!"

Lin Xiuer nodded hurriedly, grabbed Ping An's arm, and looked up at him.

"My lord, listen to me! We're here to find a solution to the problem, not to create an even bigger one!"

There are ways to deal with evil people, but you must never kill them yourself.

"They are certainly despicable, but we've only just started to get by, and I don't want to see you pay for the lives of these scumbags."

Moonlight filtered through the sparse branches and leaves, falling on Ping An's face.

His face was expressionless, but his dark eyes still held a lingering coldness.

Seemingly confused, isn't solving the problem of the person who created it the most direct and effective solution?

But seeing the genuine worry in Lin Xiuer's eyes, he ultimately said nothing more, only nodding slightly, and the invisible chill around him gradually faded away.

Lin Xiuer was slightly relieved when she saw that he was no longer insisting.

The three of them squatted outside the breach in the wall. Lin Xiuer looked at the dilapidated and tall garden wall and pondered a solution.

"These bastards are utterly upside down! They were the ones who started the extortion and vandalism, yet now they're colluding with the government to distort the truth and turn the tables on us!"

"If we hadn't come here secretly today, they would have quietly submitted the complaint."

"Who says otherwise?" Hu Yidao was so angry that his beard stood on end, and he cursed the Black Fish Gang's ancestors for eighteen generations in a low voice.

"I was just thinking that this garden is too big. With just the three of us pretending to be ghosts, we don't have enough manpower, and it's easy to make mistakes."

Hu Yidao nodded: "Indeed, the place is too big. If they stay inside and don't come out, there's nothing we can do."

Suddenly, a sly glint flashed in Lin Xiuer's eyes: "Old Hu, what do you think? Can we get those two young masters to join us?"

"Them?" Hu Yidao was taken aback. "Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan? This... is that feasible? Don't scare them before you do."

"I think it's feasible," Lin Xiuer analyzed. "Wu Liangcai likes good food, and Chen Mingxuan is playful. Didn't they have a lot of fun on the mountain today?"

"Moreover, their identities are special. If anything goes wrong, the Black Fish Gang will have to think twice. Most importantly..."

She paused, a mischievous smile playing on her lips: "Just imagine, what if Young Master Chen dressed up as a woman, disguised as a beautiful and ethereal female ghost..."

"With his fair and handsome face, if he dressed up a little and appeared in a place like this in the middle of the night, how alluring would he be? Pshaw, how terrifying!"

"That will definitely draw the attention of those perverts. Once they're all lured out and isolated, we'll scare them half to death! The rest of them who are stuck in bed won't be a problem."

Hu Yidao's eyes slowly lit up as he listened, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands together: "Hey, this is a great idea! It's a bit underhanded, but it seems like it could really work! With Young Master Chen's looks, he'd be absolutely irresistible dressed as a female ghost!"

Ping An listened quietly from the side, his gaze falling on Lin Xiuer's face, which was flashing with calculation. The cold and fierce aura he had shown earlier had long since dissipated.

Deep in his eyes, however, a faint hint of indulgence and interest flickered.

The next morning, Lin Xiuer's stall at the usual spot in Caishikou was even more bustling than usual.

In addition to the complete set of ingredients for egg pancakes, today we also have a bowl of prepared batter and a basket of crispy fried crisps.

Sure enough, the moment this Jianbing Guozi appeared, it captured the attention and smells of diners.

As the batter spread on the hot griddle, it released a richer, more intense aroma of caramelized grains, which, mixed with the oily fragrance of crispy fried food, instantly attracted a large number of diners.

Egg wash is spread on a golden-brown crust, then sauce is brushed on, and chopped scallions and pickled vegetables are added. The crispy, crumbly crust and fresh vegetable leaves are rolled up.

The queue in front of the stall was even longer than yesterday, bustling with chatter and excitement.

"Boss lady, your new pancakes smell amazing!"

"Absolutely! Yesterday's egg pancake was delicious enough, but I never expected there to be something even better!"

"These pancakes of yours are not only satisfying, but also incredibly filling! I've felt much more energetic at work these past few days!"

Lin Xiuer responded with a smile as she quickly spread the pancakes, applied the sauce, and rolled them up.

She knew in her heart that there was probably some kind of nourishing effect from the spiritual spring water.

Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan arrived as promised, almost as if they were "drifting" over by the aroma.

As usual, Chen Mingxuan took out one tael of silver and said readily, "Xiuer, the same as always, ten jianbing guozi and ten egg pancakes, let Zhang Ma take them back."

After Zhang Ma left with her heavy basket, he himself stood by the stall with a freshly made jianbing guozi, smiling as he ate and watched the excitement.

Wu Liangcai also came over. His face no longer showed the paleness and listlessness of the previous two days; instead, he looked much more energetic.

"Sister Lin! I ate the wontons and crispy crab you made yesterday, and I slept so soundly afterward."

"Not only am I not starving like I used to be, but I even have energy in my legs after running laps this morning! Is there something special about your diet?"

Lin Xiuer kept working, laughing and joking, "There's no fancy stuff, it's just about using fresh ingredients and cooking with care."

"Brother, you exercise regularly to maintain your health, so your body will naturally feel comfortable."

Business was booming as always; before noon, the batter for the new pancakes was quickly gone.

After the last pancake was sold, Lin Xiuer wiped her hands and began to pack up her things.

She simply lowered her head, her usual excited enthusiasm for quickly closing up shop gone, and instead let out a soft sigh.

The sigh was soft, yet it carried an undeniable sense of loss and heaviness.

Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan, who had been waiting for Lin Xiuer to pack up her stall so they could go back with her to dig for wild vegetables, immediately noticed the change in her emotions.

"Sister Lin, what's wrong?" Wu Liangcai leaned closer, his face full of concern. "The new pancakes are selling really well, aren't they? I see everyone scrambling to buy them, so why are you sighing?"

Chen Mingxuan also came over anxiously, frowning as he asked, "Yes, Xiuer, why do you look so troubled? Are you tired?"
