Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 110: Eldest Sister-in-law Elopes with Someone (Part 22)

"Then you should stay at my parents’ house for a while; once your house is built, you can move out." The team leader allocated her a piece of land.

Concerned about her safety as she lived alone, and aware there might be ill-intentioned people in the village, the team leader specifically allocated her a plot next to his own house, conveniently next to a large piece of wasteland.

The team leader’s parents had four sons; after his youngest son got married last year, the elderly mother decided to split the sons off so the couple could raise more chickens and pigs, leaving the two of them as a single household.

The four brothers simultaneously applied for plots and sought to stay together, resulting in a plot at the foot of the mountain, conveniently located at the village entrance, close to both the fields and the mountain.

"Thank you, Team Leader."

Yuan Chun expressed her gratitude.

The team leader’s parents were a very open-minded and kind elderly couple, welcoming Yuan Chun into their home while sympathizing with her hardships, encouraging her to rest and recuperate instead of working.

"Heaven have mercy on you, you’re so thin. Take good care of yourself, and don’t rush to work until you’re well again. Anyway, with that beast’s compensation, you’re not short of money and food. Your health comes first."

Liu Fusheng’s compensation was not mentioned to the team leader, but Yuan Chun shared it with the elderly couple.

Since they were living together and sharing meals, Yuan Chun didn’t want to take advantage of the elderly couple, so she planned to spend some money to buy good food to repay their kindness.

Hence, the day after returning to the village, Yuan Chun went shopping, purchasing all the materials needed for her house, along with two pounds of meat, an old hen, fifty eggs, and half a sack of rice.

Located in the south, Yunqiao Team had paddies, yielding rice twice a year, ensuring all households had sufficient rice, although eating rice abundantly at every meal was beyond reach.

Rice was often mixed with sweet potatoes to make sweet potato rice.

Granny Yang saw the half sack of rice and frowned, "Here I am, not lacking enough food to feed you for a few days. Save this rice for yourself until your house is ready, then you can keep it for yourself."

Trying to refuse the offer, Yuan Chun then heard Granny Yang say, "In half a month, the early rice will be harvested, and your house should be nearly done. When it comes to double harvesting times, you’ll have plenty of food."

"As for the meat, it won’t keep in this summer heat, so I’ll salt it for you to enjoy during the double harvest." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Granny Yang, it’s too hot; salted meat will attract maggots. Let’s eat it fresh; let’s have some steamed meat." Yuan Chun proposed.

She took out a packet of steamed meat powder.

Granny Yang, equally worried about spoilage, sliced the meat while lamenting, "Even if you have money now, you shouldn’t be extravagant. This is all meat and chicken; you shouldn’t indulge so much at once."

"After building your house, you won’t have much money left. You still need to marry and prepare a dowry, saving hidden money for when you marry into a husband’s family. Secret savings empower you..."

With the meat steamed, Yuan Chun prepared a generous bowl and furtively delivered it to the team leader’s house.

Only the youngest daughter was home, receiving the food before Yuan Chun left. That evening, the team leader’s wife brought over a bowl of shrimp for the elderly couple and Yuan Chun.

"Dalin picked these early from the creek. He got quite a few, but we’re out of chili powder, so they’re not very spicy—have them anyway."

Granny Yang: "I have dried chili peppers here; take some home to mask the fishy taste. I’ll add some chilies and cook it again."

That night, Yuan Chun enjoyed a heartwarming, spicy fish and shrimp meal that brought sweat to her forehead.
