Chapter 2.

The maid Xiu Mei stood at the door like a lookout stone, saw Wei Ruo from afar, trotted up and saw Wei Ruo carrying a bamboo basket of herbs, then said in a heartbroken and slightly complaining tone:

“Miss, why did you run off to the mountains alone again? How dangerous that is!”

As she spoke, Xiu Mei had already skillfully picked up Wei Ruo’s bamboo basket and carried it onto her own back.

“Good Meimei, I didn’t head for the dangerous cliffs, really! There are so many rare herbs in the mountains that are worth so much money, I’d be wasting my money if I didn’t pick them!”

“That won’t work either! It’s not like you’re as fit as I am! Even if you want to go, you have to bring me along! The master you hired taught me so much kung fu, I have to put it to use!”

“Who’s going to cook for me if I take you up the mountain? My good Plum my five organs are counting on you!” Wei Ruo pouted.

Today this trip can give her tired enough, ran all the way to pick medicine has already consumed her physical strength tank, but also gave someone to catch the birth, about to give her dry waste.

“It’s not too late for me to come back and cook for you! If you run off to the mountains alone like this, I’ll be so worried at home that I won’t be able to cook the rice properly, and I won’t be able to tell the difference between salt and sugar!”

Xiu Mei stomped her foot.

“I’m hungry.” Wei Ruo tilted her head and looked at Xiu Mei in a babbling manner.

“Miss, you’re changing the subject again!” Xiu Mei was helpless.

“Don’t starve me, look at how thin I am.” Wei Ruo touched her stomach, the hint was very much in place.

Just save people so critical when the frown are not blinking, now for a meal but in with their maids to sell cute and good, simply a different person.

“Okay, okay, it’s been made for a long time, it’s all simmering in the stove, hot! I’ll go and bring it out to you.”

Xiu Mei, who had a knife’s mouth and a tofu heart, turned around and went into the kitchen while muttering.

I can’t help it, because their young lady’s eyes are so eager for food, it’s a pain in the ass. I can’t stand it!

The courtyard where Wei Ruo was located was filled with all kinds of plants, from ornamental flowers to medicinal herbs and crops.

The only space was left for a stone table, and when the weather was good Wei Ruo liked to eat and drink tea in front of the stone table in the sun.

This place was one of the He family’s other courtyards, and there were only two people living here, Wei Ruo and her maid, Xiu Mei.

Wei Ruo was crossing over, and the fetus was dressed as a female supporting character in the book.

In the original, she was the young lady of the Wei family, an official family, who was mistakenly carried away by the He family, a merchant family.

He was raised in the He family, a family of merchants, until he was three years old, when a fortune-teller told him that he was destined to be killed by both of his parents, and so he was sent to this home.

The only ones who came along were Wei Ruo’s nurse and maid, Xiu Mei.

After that, the He family sent five taels of silver every month, and then stopped asking questions.

Even on New Year’s holidays, Wei Ruo never saw them again.

Now Wei Ruo was thirteen years old and had been living inside this manor for ten whole years.

For Wei Ruo, she enjoyed her life inside the manor and enjoyed dealing with the village people.

She didn’t want to go back to either the He family or her birth parents’ house, because in the original story, she herself had a very difficult time both in the He family and in her birth parents’ house.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei went out together.

The other compound where Wei Ruo lived was backed by hills, and out the door was a large expanse of farmland.

It was the busy farming season and the villagers were busy planting rice seedlings in the fields.

As Wei Ruo passed by, the villagers greeted her.

“Ruo Ruo ah, my head of the family went up the mountain today and shot a rabbit, I left you a rabbit leg, remember to ask Xiu Mei to take it back later!”

“Miss Ruo’er, I picked some watercress today, I’ll share a portion with you, ask Xiu Mei to take it.”

“The medicine you gave me last time, Ms. Ruo’er, is really useful, my tiger got better after eating it!”

“……”

Wei Ruo greeted them and then went to his field.

Like the others, she took off her shoes and stepped barefoot into the silt-covered rice paddies and began planting rice seedlings.

Xiu Mei persuaded Wei Ruo several times to rest on the side and let her do it, but Wei Ruo must do it herself.

Because she had reasons why she had to plant it herself.

Wei Ruo had a space that appeared when she crossed over, and the entrance to the space was a red point in the palm of her left hand, like a vermilion sand mole.

There was a simple thatched hut inside the space, and at first, the thatched hut was empty of anything.

Beyond the thatched hut was also a void, white as if shrouded by a thick fog.

Later, Wei Ruo began to decorate the thatched hut, adding furniture, making arrangements, and storing items from the hut over the course of several years.

With Wei Ruo’s construction of the interior of the thatched hut, the thick fog outside the house receded a bit, and a square piece of land about two meters by two meters large appeared, and rice was planted on the land when it appeared.

So Wei Ruo started planting rice, and when the rice matured and was harvested, Wei Ruo gained experience value.

After a few plantings, the experience value was full, the space was upgraded, and the fog in front of the house receded a bit more, and a new piece of land of the same size appeared, this time with sweet potatoes planted on it.

At this time Wei Ruo understood that her space could be upgraded, and the experience needed for the upgrade was gained through her planting, and when the experience value was full, she could upgrade, and after the upgrade, new land and new seeds would appear.

It’s very similar to an online game from many years ago called Happy Farm, where you gain experience by planting, and when your experience value is full, you upgrade to get new plantable land and new seeds.

Later Wei Ruo took out the rice seeds in the space and planted them, and the same experience was available after the harvest, but only if she planted them herself, and she couldn’t get experience from the part that was given to the villagers to plant.

So she needs to be on her own whether she’s in space or out of space.

The master and servant were busy with their work when suddenly two sisters with a group of people appeared on the ridge beside Wei Ruo.

Seeing Wei Ruo, who was standing barefoot in the mud with her face covered in mud stains, a look of disgust appeared on the faces of the two Sisters in unison.

What kind of behavior is this? All the maids in the house are more decent than her!

“We are the house servants of the school captain’s residence, and have come to take Miss back to the residence by order of the master and madam.” The Sister explained the purpose of her visit.

The school lieutenant’s residence? Xiu Mei looked surprised and asked, “You guys got it wrong, my lady’s family is in the county, she doesn’t know any school lieutenants.”

“It used to be, but from now on, it’s not.” One of the sisters said, “My master has already investigated clearly, when we were in the Haining Prefecture, the He family and our lieutenant’s wife gave birth at the Guanyin Temple at the same time, and then encountered roving bandits entering the mountains, and in the panic, they carried the wrong child.”

Another Sister added, “Your foster parents’ family, the He family that does business in the county, has agreed to us picking you up.”

At those words Xiu Mei’s mouth grew, too surprised to speak.
