Yan Mingkun also asked her in the text message if he had offended anyone, leading them to want to deal with him.
Yunyu’s answer was: Boss Yan, you’re worrying too much. You are just unlucky.
Based on her calculations, his face (T/N: Face reading going on here) had no indications that someone was causing trouble for him. Thus, this means that the formation was not aimed at him.
What was the use of using such a formation to deal with a real estate boss in a small city like him. The formation was used to deal with the soul trapped in the formation and nothing more. Don’t know who it was, but their corpse was dismembered and imprisoned in the Seven Demons Soul Destroying Formation. Since the formation has been around for more than half a month, there was a nine out of ten chance that the soul inside had already disappeared.
Even if by luck there was a trace of residual soul left, it would be difficult to restore it.
Yunyu donated 200,000 yuan from the compensation this time round. There was no need to donate half of the money as she had risked her life for it.
It was alright if she made a small donation.
Yunyu and Wu Li (T/N: Childhood friend whose father pushed her mother resulting in a fall and who kinda like her if y’all have forgotten) were busy harvesting the wheat in the village in the afternoon. Wu Li had a good eye. The wheat grown by these families was very good. The grains were large and plump.
There were about nine families selling her wheat which totaled up to 30,000 jin. Now that smartphones have become popular, many people will use mobile phones to pay and receive money. Yunyu used her mobile phone to transfer the money directly.

But when she met someone who was older and did not know how to use a smartphone, Yunyu even went to the bank to withdraw cash for payment.
She had a good attitude and was smiling the whole time when addressing those aunts, grandmas and uncles.
Although the old people were curious about her staying in the village, they did not ask much.
The movement of Yunyu harvesting wheat was quite loud. The houses in the village were all nearby. Hence, when they heard movement, they all came out to take a look.
Seeing Yunyu and Wu Li harvesting wheat, they couldn’t help asking, “Xiao Yu, Xiao Li, what are you doing with so much wheat?”
Yunyu smiled, “My family has opened a steamed bun shop and I don’t want to buy flour from outside.”
“You’re harvesting so much?” Someone asked curiously.
Yunyu nodded, “Business at the steamed bun shop is pretty good. Auntie, I’ll treat you to steamed buns in the future.” They were all from the same village, so some courtesy was still needed.
The person responded with a smile, and did not pursue the matter by continuing asking.
However, when the next batch of people approached, someone still secretly asked the seller about the price.
Some people could not help but be moved when they heard that Yunyu was buying wheat at 1.5 yuan. The most important thing farmers care about is the price of grain. If they could sell for more money, they would hope to sell it higher.
It was just that most people would not approach Yunyu directly. However, that wasn’t necessarily so for some thick-skinned people. The person who approached Yunyu was a middle-aged woman named Zhao Jinhua. Her family was poor and lazy. The house was dirty and messy, and the kitchen was not cleaned. Their cooking stove was covered with black dirt, and the guests who had entered her house were also speechless when they saw it. So, people in the village did not like to deal with her.
Her man was also a lazy guy. He loitered around all day and gambled when he had money. When he did not have money on hand, he would be lazing around at home.
Can one expect such a lazy family to take good care of their fields?
Of course not! Their farm work was rarely done, and weeds were left to grow in the fields. Others would weed and fertilize the wheat fields and during the dry weather, they would even fetch water from the nearby stream to water the wheat fields. On the other hand, in her family, after they have planted the wheat, they have never bothered with it anymore. Based on what the villagers say, when harvesting, her family’s wheat was half the height of others.
With her subpar condition, Zhao Jinhua still went directly to Yunyu, ” Yunyu, I heard that your family is collecting wheat and still at the price of 1.50 yuan ah! Come take mine as well. I haven’t sold mine yet.”

Yunyu grabbed a handful of wheat from the wheat sack and turned to Zhao Jinhua, “Aunt Zhao, the wheat that my family is accepting must be at least like this. Only when the grains are plump can delicious steamed buns be made. If your wheat can meet this standard, I would take it too.”
Zhao Jinhua smacked her lips (T/N: For those who have stumbled upon this term and have not bothered to truly find out what it means here you go – The sound made by the tip of the tongue from the root of the front teeth. Usually to express surprise, admiration etc. Press the tongue against the teeth, and open and close the lips in cooperation. Honestly, I think it’s a “tsk” sound with more lip movement), “Aren’t they all wheat? What’s the difference when it all goes into the mouth? Though the grains are smaller, they still have the same taste.”
“Aunt Zhao,” Yunyu said with a smile, “Whether there is a difference in taste, you should know best. For those making food for a living, food is all about taste. Who would eat at your shop if the taste is not good? I can’t smash my own signboard (T/N: I can’t ruin my own brand).”
The wheat seller also chimed in, “That’s true. Zhao Jinhua, don’t make things difficult for others. No one will take your wheat when it is sold at the grain purchase station, and you still want to sell it at 1.50 yuan?”
Zhao Jinhua was anxious, “Hey, what are you talking about? Who said that my wheat is not accepted by others? It is I who don’t want to sell it.” Zhao Jinhua still wanted to grab onto Yunyu again, but was avoided by Yunyu. Zhao Jinhua was so angry that she said, “Yunyu, are you going to accept my wheat or not? If you are willing, I’m willing to go down to 1.20 yuan (T/N: It’s been a while since the last chapter so for the 1.20 and 1.50 yuan, imma assume that it is per 1 jin or something).”
Yunyu responded lightly, “No.” Does she take her for a fool to be taken advantage of?

Wu Li stood in front of Yunyu, “Aunt Zhao, don’t mess around.”
“Little fuckers… (T/N: In case y’all wanna know, the term is 小逼养的 Xiǎo bī yǎng de)” Zhao Jinhua began to swear at people, and her words were extremely ugly, scolding both Yunyu and Wu Li’s family.
Wu Li was annoyed, “Zhao Jinhua, don’t go too far.”
Neighbors also came over to stop her, “Zhao Jinhua, if you continue messing around and bullying the two children, we won’t be polite anymore. Don’t you know how lazy your family is? The wheat your family harvest is sparse, and you want to sell it at a high price? Dream on! We are all from the same village. If you dare to bully other people’s children, we will not allow it.”
“Misfortune comes from the mouth,” Yunyu said quietly.
Zhao Jinhua was taken aback, “What did you say?”
Yunyu glanced at her, “You will understand what I have said tomorrow.” This kind of person’s nature is hard to change. Sooner or later she will be taught a lesson because of her mouth.
Zhao Jinhua cursed and left.
Wu Li was annoyed that he didn’t protect Xiao Yu’er well.
By the time the villagers helped store the harvested wheat into Wu Yun’s two warehouses, it was already seven o’clock in the evening. Yunyu thanked the everyone, and solemnly thanked Wu Li, “Wu Li, thank you.
Wu Li who was a little red in the face replied, “We have been playing since we were young. There’s no need to thank me. What’s more, I keep eating food made by Grandma Yun.”
Yunyu smiled and said, “Alright then. Go back and rest early. Good night.”
Wu Li grinned, “Xiao Yu’er, good night.”
When Yunyu arrived home, she found that Grandma Yun had not yet eaten, and was waiting for her to come back to eat. Seeing her granddaughter’s dusty state, Grandma Yun was distressed. She urged Yunyu, “Go wash up and eat. Grandma has stewed fish soup.”
“Grandma, I’ll go wash up first. You can eat first, don’t wait for me.” After Yunyu said that, went to the back of the house for a shower and change of clothes. After coming out, Grandma Yun had already served all the food on the table. There was braised green beans with eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomato, boiled edamame, and a crucian carp tofu soup. The crucian carp was caught by Grandma Yun in Qinghe Lake.

Braised green beans with eggplant 茄子焖豆角 (Qiézi mèn dòujiǎo)，Scrambled eggs with tomato 番茄炒鸡蛋 (Fānqié chǎo jīdàn)，Boiled edamame 煮毛豆 (Zhǔ máodòu)，Crucian carp tofu soup 鲫鱼豆腐汤 (Jìyú dòufu tāng)
The edamame was grown at home. It was now tender and tasted amazing when cooked with some salt.
After eating, Yunyu helped clean the kitchen.
It was getting late, so she went to massage Mother Yun’s legs and head to bed early.
Yunyu came out of Mother Yun’s room and saw the moonlight shining upon the ground. The roses in the corner of the courtyard were in full bloom, and it was really beautiful under the moonlight.
These roses almost covered half of the wall. They were lush and had many flower buds.
Yunyu was in a good mood. She picked a few roses, found a glass bottle, brought it back to the room and placed it on the desk under the window. Just after setting it up, Grandma Yun knocked on the door and came in. Yunyu smiled and said, “Grandma, you haven’t slept yet? “
“Xiao Yu’er,” Grandma Yun pulled Yunyu to sit on the sofa. She looked at her granddaughter in a daze and secretly sighed before saying, “Grandma came to you about something.”
Yunyu was not sure what was going on, so she asked, “Grandma, what’s the matter?”
Grandma Yun’s eyes were red, “Xiao Yu’er, don’t worry about what grandma is about to tell you. Regardless of what happens, there is always your family here. Grandma will back you up. No matter what decision you make, Grandma will support you.”
“Grandma,” Yunyu became a little apprehensive. Licking her lower lip and she said, “What is really going on? Don’t scare me.”
Grandma Yun held her hand tightly, “During the hospital examination yesterday, the doctor said that you were five weeks pregnant .”
When Yunyu heard this, her mind went blank for a moment. She was at a loss and repeated, “Five weeks pregnant? Grandma, what are you talking about?”
How could she be pregnant? The next moment, her face turned pale. She suddenly remembered the dream she had a few days ago. When it came to fortune telling, she had never calculated for herself. But for some matters that were related to herself, there would always be hints and indications irregardless.
Also, she had not had her period this month. Yunyu’s period was always very accurate. However, when she was a princess, her period only came once every three months.
She unexpectedly overlooked this matter.
What’s more, when she just transmigrated, she was in a state of confusion, and had no thoughts of taking any morning after pills.

Yunyu’s eyes turned red instantly, “Grandma, what should I do?” It was the first time in her two lives that she had experienced such a thing. She was so flustered that she had no idea what to do next.
Grandma Yun caressed Yunyu’s hair and said, “Grandma already knows about the matter between you and Xiao Qin. When you were hospitalized, Xiao Qin knelt down and told me the truth. He said that the child is his, and he wants to take responsibility and marry you. But when it comes to marriage, how could Grandma decide for you? Xiao Yu’er, you need to think about this matter yourself. Whether the child is born, or … or it is … What Grandma is trying to say is that marriage in my era is different from that in the current era. In my time, most of the time, the couple just take a look at each other and rush into getting married and living it out for their lifetime. If the other party has a good character, actually …”
Grandma Yun did not say the rest. The current era is still different after all.
At that time, couples just looked at each other to determine the rest of their lives, and many of them only started slowly developing feelings after getting married. She and Grandpa Yun were like that. Grandpa Yun was a bit of a tough-guy, but he treated her very well. In their time together, never once was he impatient with her. When she got angry and lost her temper, the old man would coax her head on.
She had lived for most of her life, and would say that she was an accurate judge of character.
Xiao Qin was a young man with good conduct. To say that he would be responsible meant that he really intended to take up his duty and obligations. He would not easily give up halfway and was sincerely looking for something that would last for a lifetime.
Things like feelings cannot measure up to taking on real responsibility. Feelings will slowly dissipate and become family affection. In many cases, responsibility and sense of duty are the key to lifelong companionship between two people.
Grandma Yun had lived most of her life and could see through everything.
If Xiao Yu’er and Xiao Qin got together, it was good for the child to stay. The birth of a child is often accompanied by the love of the parents. She did not really want to agree with a single-parent child because it would hurt the mother too much.
