《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 41: There Were Actually Steamed Buns?!

Madam Hu's smile became even deeper, "She's better, very much better. Luckily, you went last time in time. Didn't you say later on that you were going to buy some silver needles to treat my Mother-in-Law's illness? My husband and I still felt sorry, but when I saw that Mother-in-Law was feeling better, I went to invite the village doctor over to check on her and he also thinks that your medical skills are really godly!"
With that, Old Hu's wife pulled Lin Xiaoye and thanked her profusely once again.
"Later, the doctor gave me a prescription and asked me to get some medicine for Mother-in-Law. He also said that if we don't irritate my Mother-in-Law at this time, it won't cause any problems."
Lin Xiaoye took the prescription and looked at it. Except for the calming herbs, the prescription was indeed based on the symptoms of stroke.
"The doctor was right, just follow this prescription and take good care of her for a few days. Your Mother-in-Law is usually strong and healthy, so after taking care of her health for a while, she will be fine."
"Yes, that's right, the doctor said the same thing."
After she finished talking, Old Hu's wife looked around: "Old Huo's wife, your husband didn't come with you?"
Lin Xiaoye smiled, "I came early today because I have some things to take care of. Now that I'm done, I have to go back."
"Oh right, I'm almost done selling my eggs. If you don't mind, you can go to the herbal medicine shop with me, so that we can go back together."
After that, Old Hu's wife pulled Lin Xiaoye forward.
However, Lin Xiaoye was still worried. There would definitely be no problem going back with Old Hu's wife. However, what should she do with her fabrics?
Lin Xiaoye walked forward with a heavy heart, but how could Old Hu's wife not see through it?
She stepped forward and asked, "What is it? Did you quarrel with your husband again?"

Everyone in the village knew about the relationship between Lin Xiaoye and Huo Li.
Lin Xiaoye shook her head: "That's not true."
Then, Lin Xiaoye suddenly looked at Old Hu's wife and carefully sized her up.
She wondered if Hu Sister-in-Law would lend a hand if she told her the situation.
Just as she was thinking, Old Hu's wife was also a perceptive person. She knew that Lin Xiaoye must have met with some kind of trouble, but found it hard to say it out loud.
She said, "Sister, if you trust me, then tell Sister-in-Law your troubles. You have already helped our Old Hu's family twice when you saved my son and my Mother-in-Law. I may have not read any books, but I still know about repaying favors. Last time, I already said that we will be family from now on."
Madam Hu's words were quite clear and from the looks of it, she seemed to be speaking with sincerity.
Lin Xiaoye's hand tightened.
Forget it, what else can she do?
With this in mind, Lin Xiaoye pulled Madam Hu's hand, "Of course I believe in Sister-in-Law. Then alright, I'll go back with you. However, I have a favor that I need your help with."
Hearing this, a smile blossomed on Madam Hu's face and she quickly nodded her head in agreement.
It looked like she was the one who asked Lin Xiaoye for help and that Lin Xiaoye had agreed.
However, Lin Xiaoye didn't bring Old Hu's wife over to Boss Zhang. After all, she made the medicinal soups from Boss Zhang's shop, so she was worried that Boss Zhang would be so enthusiastic towards her and it would be seen by Old Hu's wife.
Their village was a place full of troubles and the villagers were too gossipy. Although Old Hu's wife treated her quite well, she couldn't immediately believe others. There were some things that she had to take care of alone.
After Old Hu's wife bought the medicine, she followed Lin Xiaoye to take the fabrics. Lin Xiaoye also bought some grains, steamed buns and pork before following Old Hu's wife over to the town entrance.

Perhaps it was due to her good luck today, it was indeed very early. There were many people coming to the town, but not many were returning, so when they sat on the ox-cart, there were only two of them, as if they had rented the ox-cart.
This was perfect for Lin Xiaoye, the fewer people who knows, the better.
Just now, when Old Hu's wife saw Lin Xiaoye buying so many things, she had always wanted to ask, but actually, she felt that it was nothing when she saw Lin Xiaoye had actually bought fabrics. After all, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was almost the end of the year, so it was indeed time to take care of some things.
However, after seeing her buying steamed buns, meat and a lot of them at once, she felt pained by the amount of money that Lin Xiaoye had taken out.
At this moment, there were only the two of them in the cart, so she couldn't help but want to ask.
"About that, Sister, you bought so many things in one go. Did you have to spend that much money?"
Lin Xiaoye smiled, "Isn't this the end of the year? A while ago, my husband sold a lot of prey from hunting, and yesterday, he gave it all to me. He wanted me to go and pick up some things for the New Year to bring back home."
She knew in her heart that Old Hu's wife would definitely ask about these things and this was within her expectations.
Hearing that, Old Hu's wife nodded her head and felt that she had confirmed what she had been thinking just now. It was only right for them to buy some things for the New Year.
"Speaking of which, you're now living a better life than before. I think that when I go back, I will discuss this with my husband. We will also need to get some things for the New Year as soon as possible to bring at home. Otherwise, I'm afraid the prices of these things will rise later on."
Lin Xiaoye quickly nodded and thought of the times when prices usually skyrocket during New Year.
"That's right, that's right. You have to hurry up and buy things for the New Year."
Soon, the ox-cart arrived at the village. After walking for a while, Lin Xiaoye thought that they would be safe and sound today seeing that they were about to arrive at Old Huo's house, but she didn't expect that something would happen to her.
"Lin Xiaoye?" Not far away, there stood A'Lan and the one slowly walking over behind her was Luo-shi, who was about to wash clothes by the river holding a basin.
When Luo-shi heard that, she immediately went up and saw Lin Xiaoye sitting on the ox-cart. She immediately craned her neck to take a look inside the cart.
She saw several pieces of fabric on the ox-cart, as well as a lot of food. Wait a minute, what is that?
Steamed Buns! There were actually steamed buns?
Luo-shi's eyes immediately widened and the basin in her hands fell to the ground, as she hurriedly went forward.
"You bad bitch, you actually have the money to buy so much good stuff? Hurry up and take them down so I can bring them back to your grandma."
With that, Luo-shi did not care whether the ox-cart was still driving forward and quickly grabbed onto the handrail, aiming for the white steamed buns inside and grabbed it.
Seeing this, A'Lan quickly followed.
Old Hu's wife wink at Lin Xiaoye, then Old Hu's wife made the ox-cart stopped. Lin Xiaoye immediately jumped off the cart and rushed in front of Luo-shi to snatch the steamed buns back.

Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.

Wild Steam
Get on a train. Head east. Get on a ship. Travel further east, in style. See some wonders of the world. Find what was lost. Find where home is. How hard is any of that?Well, for Jake Ranger, pretty damned hard. The world being a wild, crazy mess from a global altering event called the Shattering doesn’t help much. Nor does being a famous folk hero. That last one really sucks, because people always run up to famous heroes and beg them for help with all their problems. Then there are the actual outlaws and monsters. They don’t help much either. Mostly they just get in the way and make everything way worse. And in a world that is so screwed up decades after the Shattering, there is a lot of variety to both outlaw and monster. Then there are the more civilized, (read: sane), non-human folk, and good old humans as well. They all get along just spectacularly. Totally best friends, on every level, for life. Of course getting to the east coast is only half the battle. Once there, he must contend with the so-called “civilized people.” Then there’s the ship ride; pirates and sea monsters are a thing too, after all. Should have read the brochure. But when the chips are down, the bad guys are winning and the wild winds of chaos are blowing, it helps to have a fighter on your side. Even if he is a little wild. After all, that’s not really a problem. That’s what beautiful women and lots of gold is for. Proper motivation is always key to success. Welcome to a Steampunk, Wild West, Victorian era, Lovecraftian infested, fantasy, shoot ‘em up world. Complete with a slow build harem of badass beautiful women, crazy adventures, and fun, monstrous villains. Welcome to the world of Wild Steam. Do enjoy your stay.
