Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Wang Douniang even came over, and when she saw Peng Mian helping to take care of the two children, she showed a displeased expression.

"Sister-in-law Fang, you're just too kind-hearted. You even helped take care of these two children. Yao Feiran went to the county town alone with your husband. Aren't you afraid something might happen?"

Peng Mian spoke softly, but her expression was indifferent: "I'm fine, Aunt Yao is very well, I'm willing to help take care of her."

She and her husband have been in the village for years, but they haven't gotten along with anyone. Now they're saying things that are meant to sow discord.

Yao Feiran is much more capable than her husband; she can even kill a tiger. She feels more at ease when her husband goes into the mountains with her. Her father-in-law was killed by a tiger, and later the village suffered a severe drought. Her husband took her to this place to escape the disaster. Originally, her husband thought he would give up being a hunter, but after moving to a new place, he was destitute and had no means of livelihood, so he had no choice but to return to his old ways.

"I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you listen? Although you're good-looking, you're not fit for any work. I, your stepmother, just want to find a man, and you're bringing a wolf into the house. Don't regret it later."

Peng Mian replied in a calm tone, "Aunt Yao doesn't think much of my family."

Wang Douniang looked at Peng Mian as if she were a fool, then glared at her before leaving.

They finally arrived in the county town. Wu Zhuang was quite familiar with the area, so he took the game to a restaurant to sell it. Yao Feiran looked around. The county town wasn't big, and there were restaurants and inns around. Most of the people coming and going were dressed in dark colors, as commoners weren't allowed to wear bright colors.

"Selling Shaoxing wine! Selling Shaoxing wine! Honest and fair to all, with an authentic taste."

Yao Feiran watched the vendors selling wine and remembered that wine production and sales were permitted in this dynasty, which was indeed a way to make money.

"Sister Feiran, the items have been sold. The three deer sold for thirty-eight taels of silver, the tiger skin was sold to a lucky young master for two hundred and twenty taels, and the tiger meat sold for fifty-three taels of silver."

They kept one deer for their own consumption.

Wu Zhuang's eyes were filled with excitement; he had almost never seen so much money before. Yao Feiran thought to herself that this amount of money could buy a house in the county town, but it wasn't a long-term solution.

"I'll take two hundred taels, you take one hundred taels, and use the rest to buy some millet and pork."

Wu Zhuang waved his hand: "I don't need that much. I didn't really do anything anyway."

Yao Feiran gave him a strange look. She had thought Wu Zhuang was a cold person, but she didn't expect him to be such a good person. Last time the tiger came, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants, but he didn't even think about abandoning her and running away.

"Take this. Thanks to you for handling the tiger skin so well. My child and I will stay at your place for now. I'm planning to buy a house in the county town and move there then. I'll have to trouble Peng Mian for the time being."

Wu Zhuang couldn't refuse Yao Feiran, so he had no choice but to accept it. After hearing Yao Feiran's words, he had some doubts: "Then what about your household registration? The county government doesn't allow you to stay in the county town for a long time."

"At that time, we can only get a certificate from the village head to transfer the property. However, it's not easy to get the village head to help us, so we'll have to spend some money."

"That old guy is very greedy. When I first came to the village and wanted to settle down, I gave him all my savings before he agreed to let me stay. This house was bought at a high price and is not worth that much money at all."

There's nothing we can do about that.

Yao Feiran narrowed her eyes. If all else fails, she'll try to win people over with virtue.

Wu Zhuang smiled mysteriously: "It's alright, I have a way to get him to do it for you for free, and he'll do his best."

"What method?"

"The village head is having an affair with that Aunt Liu. His wife is very fierce, so he doesn't dare let her know."

"..."

Aunt Liu's husband was a carpenter's apprentice in the county town and usually only came back once every few days. Unexpectedly, he had an ambiguous relationship with the village head.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Every time the man from the Liu family goes out, Liu's wife hangs a piece of cloth on the tree."

"Why are you so gossipy? Does your wife know?"

His expression turned anxious: "Don't tell her, I found out by accident too."

He was also afraid of damaging his heroic image in his wife's heart.

Finally, Yao Feiran used her own money to buy more than ten steamed buns and a few sets of clothes, and went back with Wu Zhuang.

It was already late when they returned, and there were hardly any people left in the village. After taking the things out of the donkey cart, Wu Zhuang went to return it.

Peng Mian's eyes widened when she saw so many things being taken out. There was enough grain to last for a year and more, and most importantly, a lot of meat had been bought.

"You made so much money from it?"

"We've run into a sucker who's got his eye on that tiger skin."

"If only there were suckers every day."

"....."

After returning from Wuzhuang, the couple were so excited that they couldn't sleep. With that hundred taels, their lives would be much more comfortable from now on.

"Sister Feiran said they'll be staying in the side room for now, and will move to the county town in a while."

"No problem." Peng Mian smiled, then, recalling what happened during the day, she said sarcastically, "The Zheng family came to see me today, saying that Sister Fei Ran is a troublemaker and that I should kick them out."

Yao Feiran has only been here a short time, yet she has already helped her husband earn so much money. How could she possibly drive them away?

Wu Zhuang was speechless: "Sister Fei Ran treated them well, but I didn't expect them to be a bunch of ingrates."

Yao Feiran returned to the house and took out the steamed buns.

The two children exclaimed "Wow!" and their eyes widened instantly.

"Eat."

As soon as Yao Feiran finished speaking, the two began to wolf down their food, and she gave Zheng Qingrui some instructions.

"Whatever you want to eat in the future, Mom will buy it for you. Don't accept this girl's favor for nothing. But if you want to marry her, you can give her some gifts."

"Then I won't. I don't like those young girls from the village."

Yao Feiran glared at him; he really was a scumbag.

"You're just a country bumpkin yourself, yet you look down on Fang Suniang!"

Seeing that Yao Feiran was about to get angry, Zheng Qingrui quickly changed the subject.

"Mother, can I learn to read? If I can recognize a few words, I can work as an accountant in a big restaurant and give you a better life."

"I'm too old to rely on you, kid."

"No, that won't do. I'm your only son, and I'll take care of you in your old age."

Yao Feiran rolled her eyes at him. Although she didn't like the boy, it was still more convenient to have male members in the family in this dynasty.

After that, Yao Feiran and Wu Zhuang frequently went into the mountains and forests, but they never saw a tiger again. However, they often hunted large prey such as wild boars. Wu Zhuang helped out and then sold the game.

Half a year passed, and spring and winter soon arrived.

Yao Feiran already has over five hundred taels of silver. It's currently the animal breeding season, and Wu Zhuang has also made a lot of money. She's preparing to take a break for a while.

Yao Feiran is also preparing to transfer to the county town.

During this period, I have already found a two-courtyard house that costs more than seventy taels of silver. All that is left is to transfer the household registration there.
