141 Second Marriage


    He couldn’t exin why he didn’t like it. Feeling a little discouraged, he put the bracelet down and said to the shopkeeper, “I’ll buy it.”


    The shopkeeper confirmed incredulously, “You are going to buy all of these?”


    Chu Tianbao nodded and urged him, “Hurry up!”


    The shopkeeper was overjoyed and asked the staff to quickly pack them up. The youngdies and madams at the side were all excited. It was too blissful to be this man’s wife. There were so many items, yet he bought them so simply.


    !!


    The shopkeeper counted. All the jewelry added up to 206 taels.


    Chu Tianbao only had 200 taels of silver in his bag. Seeing that he was making a huge purchase, the shopkeeper did not mind the six taels of silver. In order to let hime often, he even gave him a lot of freebies and sent him out of the shop respectfully.


    Only half of the sun was left above the mountain. But Chu Tianbao was nowhere to be seen.


    Bai Wutong made herself a pot of tea and sat by the door to wait.


    She wanted to see where Chu Tianbao went to y around again. And why didn’t he tell her?


    Chu Tianbao used his qinggong and rushed with all his might. When he arrived at Youjia Vige, the sun hadpletely set.


    He recalled Bai Wutong’s instructions to return home before dark and immediately became nervous. He used his qinggong and ran even faster.


    Chu Tianbao slid past Vige Chief Zhao like a whirlwind. The blurry figure stunned him, and he almost thought he had seen a ghost.


    Bai Wutong drank two cups of tea in a row and finally heard Chu Tianbao’s soft panting. He said carefully, “Wife ~ I’m back.”


    Bai Wutong nced at him and said, “You still know how toe back?”


    When Chu Tianbao heard this, he knew that Bai Wutong was angry and hurriedly admitted his mistake. “Wife ~ Tianbao won’t do it again.”


    Bai Wutong finally looked him in the eye. Her voice finally had a change in tone. “You won’t do it again. What do you mean?”


    When Chu Tianbao heard that he still had a chance to sleep in the bed that night, he hurriedly said, “I won’t dare toe backte again. Tianbao will definitely be home before the sun sets.”


    Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, Bai Wutong’s gazended on the bag he was carrying. “Tell me, where did you go?”


    Chu Tianbao chuckled and stuffed the bag into Bai Wutong’s hand. “Tianbao went to buy something for Stinky and wife.”


    The bag was quite heavy. Bai Wutong was caught off guard and almost lost her bnce.


    Surprised, she said, “You went to town?”


    Chu Tianbao nodded.


    Bai Wutong ced the bag on the table and opened it. When she saw all kinds of jewelry, she was surprised again. “Where did you get the money to buy so many things?”


    Chu Tianbao only had one copper coin on him.


    Chu Tianbao smiled foolishly. “I caught two bears.”


    Seeing his silly smile, Bai Wutong said half angrily, “You didn’t tell me when we entered the mountain.”


    Chu Tianbao quickly lowered his head and hid his guilty expression. He pulled out the big golden lock that he wanted to give to Stinky and unted, “This is for Stinky.” He raised the package and stuffed it all into Bai Wutong’s arms. “These are for my wife.”


    When she saw the longevity lock, Bai Wutong’s gaze softened. She picked it up and looked at it. The golden lock was actually solid and heavy. Wasn’t he afraid that it would crush the child’s neck?


    With this thought in mind, she said to Chu Tianbao, who had an expression anticipating a praise, “Stinky will definitely like it very much.”


    Chu Tianbao thought so too. His face was filled with joy as he showed Bai Wutong the jewelry he had bought.


    Bai Wutong opened a box. It was a white jade bracelet, but it was not top-notch white jade. It was much inferior to the jade hairpin Cui Lingyi had given her.


    In a small town, how many people could afford a top-grade white jade bracelet? It was already very good that Chu Tianbao could buy such a color of jade.


    Chu Tianbao asked nervously, “Do you like it?”


    Bai Wutong took out the white jade bracelet from the box and put it on her wrist, which was smoother than the white jade. She shook it gently and smiled. “It’s very beautiful and I like it very much. Thank you, Tianbao.”


    Chu Tianbao was overjoyed. His smile became even brighter. He even said, “I’ll buy many more for you in the future. They’ll look even better than this.”


    Bai Wutong responded softly and was about to open another box when she met Chu Tianbao’s burning gaze.


    He leaned closer and asked for a reward. “I want a kiss from my wife.”


    Bai Wutong’s ears turned red. Seeing that it was an effort from him, she quickly kissed him on the lips.


    Chu Tianbao was not satisfied. When he saw Bai Wutong unveil the pearl hairpin, he eagerly leaned over and said, “I want a kiss from my wife.”


    Bai Wutong looked up with a cold gaze. “You didn’te home on time, so does Tianbao have to sleep alone?”


    His wife was starting to dig up his mistakes.


    Chu Tianbao whimpered and finally behaved. He was afraid that he would be chased out of the room that night.


    Bai Wutong was allocated to the best ten acres ofnd in the vige.


    As she preferred to eat rice, she specially irrigated mountain springs through the canals and turned them into paddy fields.


    The 30 families of Qinghe were also more used to eating rice. When they learned that Bai Wutong was going to change the drynd into paddy fields, they also turned the drynd into paddy fields.


    There was good rice in Bai Wutong’s space. When everyone was growing seedlings, she also had some seedlings and mixed them in.


    During the harvest, everyone would be able to discover a few stalks of rice with an especially high yield and kept them to plow seeds for the next year.


    In addition to two acres of paddy fields, Bai Wutong had another eight acres ofnd. Bai Wutong had also nned to nt four acres of food, one acre of vegetables, and two acres of fruits.


    The output of ten acres was more than enough for her and Chu Tianbao to eat for an entire year.


    The four acres ofnd were nted with potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, and peanuts. She had also nted a little seedlings and mixed them in everyone’s seedlings.


    In the two acres of fruit fields, Bai Wutong specially got someone to buy various fruit seedlings and seeds. She also took the opportunity to nt the fruits in her field.


    When it was time to harvest, everyone would see the small tomatoes andrge watermelons in her field. She could then use the excuse that she had bought the seeds.


    Spring was a busy time for farming. There was a lot of work in everyone’s fields. Bai Wutong brought Chu Tianbao to work in the fields.


    There was a small seedling in each pit. Their task for the day was to water the seedlings.


    ...


    The canal was not far away, but it was still tiring to carry a bucket and water it.


    And they would have to water often in the future.


    Bai Wutong was tired and she sat at the side to rest. Chu Tianbao used his qinggong and quickly moved back and forth to finish watering the seedlings.


    As for the other ordinary vigers, it would take at least three hours to water an acre ofnd.


    Cui Shize and the others rarely did physical work, so they were panting after a while.


    Seeing how hard they were working, the sprayer that was necessary for watering and applying medicine in the modern world suddenly popped up in Bai Wutong’s mind.
