Chapter 5 Lingxi's Residence

The old lady continued to output.

"Why can't the old woman order you around? If the old woman can't order you around, why did you come to our family? Why don't you stay in heaven and enjoy your life?"

"Grandma, I've never been to the fields before. If I go now, I'll just cause trouble for others!

How about this, I'll go to the fields to deliver meals, and you stay at home with Minghui and have a good rest." In the past, delivering meals was the old lady's job.

Pei Fuzhu could see that the old lady was unhappy about Lingxi's fainting and wanted to torture her. If she didn't let the old lady vent her anger, she would really make her get up from the ground!

Although the food was delivered at noon and the scorching sun was enough to melt people, it only lasted for a short while.

At worst, she could wear long sleeves and a straw hat.

Otherwise, if the old lady really made up her mind, she really couldn't defeat her.

Pei Fuzhu was reborn. Although she snatched Pei Lingxi's title of God's beloved daughter, so that she was no longer tortured by the old lady like in her previous life, she was still afraid of the old lady's bad luck.

She is not really God's biological daughter.

She still has to rely on this family for food and clothing. If she really angers the old lady, even if she has the title of a lucky doll, the filial sons and grandsons in this family will drive her out in minutes.

But she still felt aggrieved. What did Pei Lingxi's fainting have to do with her?
Why does the old lady wrongly accuse her when something happens? !
The old lady snorted and reluctantly agreed, and raised the corner of her mouth as she turned around.

Pei Fuzhu wiped her tears and walked towards the kitchen...
-
Lingxi lay obediently in the room, listening outside with her ears perked up.

This body has extremely good hearing, how good is it!

The vegetable garden in the backyard and the well in the front yard were separated by forty or fifty meters, and there was a wall of the house in between. Even so, Pei Lingxi, who was picking cucumbers in the vegetable garden in the backyard, could hear the whispers of Pei Fuzhu and Aunt Pei San, who were washing clothes by the well in the front yard.

Lingxi lay on the kang, listening to the noise outside and feeling no pressure at all.

So, apart from not seeing anything, she also watched the whole thing, and she couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes.

It wasn't until there was no noise outside for a while that Lingxi's excitement wore off.

Realizing that there was no one at home, Lingxi began to look around.

Lingxi's house has two rooms, the outer room is for guests and the inner room is for living.

The entire wall of the room is covered with smooth and delicate bamboo curtains, which not only keep out dust but also add a bit of wildness. The furniture in the room is very complete, with tables, chairs, kitchen cabinets and everything else. Her grandmother said that all the wood used is good.

There is a narrow kang (a bed that is 1.5 meters wide and 3 meters long) next to the window on the west wall of the outer room. There is winter in northern provinces for five or six months a year, so when guests come to the house, they sit on the kang first.

Therefore, there are kangs in the inner and outer rooms of Lingxi's house, and in addition to the kang, there is also a bunk bed in the inner room.

When Lingxi woke up, she was on the kang in the outer room. She didn't lie down after all, and got up quietly.

When she was in the Immortal Palace, she was too weak. If she wanted to leave the room, she had to beg her adoptive father to push her around the palace. Now that she finally had a body that could roam around, she really wanted to go out for a walk.

but--

Her grandmother wouldn't let her leave the house.

She always listens to whoever has the support.

Therefore, Lingxi planned to explore only in her territory.

As long as she didn't show up outside, she would still be lying in the eyes of others, right? Lingxi happily gave a thumbs up to her smart brain and walked around the room happily.

Lingxi's room is very clean and tidy.

There are two cabinets on the kang. One is used to store pillows, blankets, and bedding that are occasionally used when taking a nap in the outer room; the other is used to store toys such as go, chess, and cards.

On the kang cabinet there was a small box filled with snacks and a few books that he would flip through.

On the square table against the wall in the outer room, there is a set of tea sets and a thermos.

Next to the square table was a cabinet that was roughly the size of a cupboard. On the top shelf were jars of brown sugar, white sugar, tea, and honey. In the middle were cups, plates, and bowls. Below were a few cloth bags containing peanuts, pine nuts, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. The quantities were not large, only a few pounds in total.

A pastoral embroidery was hung just above the chest of drawers against the east wall.

The chest of drawers was filled with some miscellaneous small items such as needles, thread, scissors, slingshots, gloves, etc.

She then went to the inner room, where everything was also neatly arranged. The bedding on the bunk bed was folded like tofu blocks. Even in the three-door wardrobe, the clothes and bedding were neatly arranged, and every item was placed very carefully.

Lingxi, who had never cleaned the house before, was very impressed.

She had originally been thinking about putting the unused things into the storage pendant, but now it seems that everything is just right for her.

As I recall, the east wing where Lingxi lived was actually quite interesting.

Behind the bamboo curtain on the wall, there is actually a door leading to the yard next door.

The old Pei family has three courtyards in a row, and each courtyard is a bluestone courtyard with five main rooms and east and west wing rooms.

This was built with money from Lingxi's father. When it was first built, Uncle Pei was still a kid younger than Minghui, so of course he took care of his brothers who were about to start their own families first.

Therefore, the three courtyards from east to west were given to Pei Lao Da, Pei Lao Er, and Pei Lao San respectively.

However, Boss Pei, Lingxi's father, was always away, and the yard at home was empty until Lingxi returned home, when the yard finally welcomed its owner.

Lingxi was sent back to the village as a little kid alone. Although her family had a yard, they didn't dare let her live alone.

For safety reasons and to facilitate care, she lived in the east wing of Uncle Pei's yard, ate with Uncle Pei and his family, and usually went in and out through Uncle Pei's side of the yard.

The easternmost courtyard occupied by Lingxi's family has been locked since then and has never been opened again.

But in fact, for Lingxi's convenience, Uncle Pei and his sons quietly opened a door leading to the next yard in Lingxi's room.

The outer room of Lingxi's house is adjacent to the west wall of the kitchen in the next yard.

It is directly accessible from Lingxi's room. Lingxi used to take a bath and wash clothes there, and the old lady would occasionally cook for her on a small stove, all in the yard next door.

Normally, the door is closed and blocked with a bamboo curtain. Over the years, no one, except those who knew about it at the time, and even my eldest cousin's wife who lives in the same courtyard, has discovered that there is a hidden world here.

No one deliberately concealed it, mainly because no one took the initiative to talk about it...

Lingxi lifted the bamboo curtain according to her memory and was about to go to the small kitchen to take a look when she heard the sound of a door opening in the yard.

Lingxi's body stiffened and she immediately returned to the kang. After thinking for a while, she pulled over the snack box on the kang cabinet, took out the peach cakes that her grandmother had just given her, and ate them slowly.
