After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 7

That night was the most peaceful night Luo Ge had slept since transmigrating over.

She dreamed of her own little farmhouse and the big white teddy bear pillow on her bed.

Perhaps because of her background, she didn't like feeling lonely, especially at night. Whenever she hugged her white bear and slept, she always felt very settled.

Finding that long-lost sense of stability, she naturally slept very soundly...

Gu Jinchen got up very early every day to practice martial arts. By the time Luo Ge woke up, he was no longer in the room, so she didn't know what she had done last night.

But when she saw Gu Jinchen, she always felt something was a little strange about him.

But she didn't think too much about it and very naturally asked, "Morning."

"Mmm."

As soon as Gu Jinchen saw Luo Ge, the image of her snuggling into his arms last night floated up in his mind, a soft and fragrant bundle...

The more he thought about it, the more awkward he felt, and he hurriedly interrupted his own memories.

"I'll make breakfast, what do you guys want to eat?" Luo Ge didn't notice his situation and walked towards the kitchen while asking.

"Anything is fine, the older baby is not picky."

"The second baby is not picky either."

The two little ones were on the side washing up, and when they heard her words they quickly responded.

Given Gu Jinchen's cooking skills... they still believed in their little aunt a little more.

Hearing the two little ones say this, Luo Ge turned her gaze to Gu Jinchen.

"I'm fine with anything too." Feeling her gaze, Gu Jinchen slightly turned his head away.

"Alright." Since they were all fine with anything, she would just freely create.

When she entered the kitchen and opened the cupboard, she discovered that the Gu family's household seemed to be quite well off after all, with oil, salt, rice and noodles all available, still enough for a family to use for one or two months.

Looking at the cupboard, she turned her head again to look at the dilapidated courtyard, the empty house at the edge of the courtyard still had several holes in the roof, and the clothes he was drying in the yard were also patched.

Even the carrying basket and winnowing basket hanging on the wall had two small holes in them.

Everything on the outside was expressing the word "poor".

Hmm... Wealth should not be openly displayed, very good.

She scooped up some noodles with a bowl and spoon, then simply made some pancakes with the leftover vegetables in the kitchen from yesterday.

For her, these were simple pancakes, but for the big and little ones who had been eating unmentionable meals for over a year, they were simply a rare delicacy in the human world.

The eyes of the two little ones shone brightly, and they ate with enthusiasm dozens of times greater than yesterday.

"Little auntie, these vegetable pancakes are so delicious!"

"Second baby feels like he can eat a lot more."

While the little ones were wolfing it down, they did not forget to sincerely compliment her a couple times.

"Very delicious." Even Gu Jinchen was completely surprised, silently eating pancakes while praising along.

In his heart he marveled again at what a great bargain he had brought back.

"If you like it, eat more. I'll make more if it's not enough."

Hearing their words, Luo Ge's eyes smiled into crescents. What cook doesn't like having their cooking praised?

She was naturally no exception.

For this breakfast, the family truly enjoyed themselves, the faces of the two little ones full of satisfaction.

If no killjoys had come to make trouble, their good mood at this time could probably have lasted for a long time.

"Oh? Having breakfast? What are you eating? Smells so good!"

During the day when someone was home they kept the courtyard gate open. As soon as Old Lady Wang stepped into the yard, a scent rushed up to greet her, smelling so delicious it made one drool uncontrollably.

Hearing this voice, the adults and little ones in the yard all paused, Gu Jinchen's eyebrows locked tight.

The two little ones subconsciously shrank behind Gu Jinchen, clearly showing some fear.

Luo Ge had just brought the empty bowls back to the kitchen and had not yet noticed the situation outside.

"What is Old Lady Wang here for this time?"

Gu Jinchen's cold voice made Old Lady Wang pause in her footsteps, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.

But she soon resumed normal, smiling like a flower.

"What else could auntie be here for, if not for you!"

What else could she be here for, if not for the matter of the Qian family girl.

That Qian family girl had truly taken a liking to this Second Master Gu, and when she came yesterday she didn't manage to bring up the engagement. When she went back and truthfully told the Qian family, that Qian family girl threw a tantrum for a long time.

That Qian family girl's family foundation was quite abundant, with dozens of mu of land, it would not be an exaggeration to call them a small landlord.

Of course if they didn't have this household wealth, they also wouldn't have been able to raise that Qian family girl into her current form.

That Qian family couple doted on their precious daughter. As soon as she caused a disturbance they softened, and gave Old Lady Wang quite a lot more money, asking her to help them again.

So....she came.

She had thought that the reason Gu Jinchen disagreed yesterday must have been because of that girl he had just brought back, as well as these two little ones.

But now after so long had passed and there was still no news of that girl, she must have really been incapable after all.

And the Qian family had also taken a step back, agreeing to raise these two little ones as well.

In this way, she felt the chances of success were quite good, so she came to try her luck.

The Qian family had given her quite a lot of money, she should at least try right.

As she thought this, the smile on her face grew even bigger: "Auntie has come to tell you some good news, that Qian family girl has relented, she can let these two little ones stay without sending them away..."

Her words had not even finished when she glimpsed something from the corner of her eye that instantly made her voice freeze up.

"Husband, who is this?"

Luo Ge walked past under her stunned gaze, walking all the way to Gu Jinchen's side, and asked in puzzlement.

Husband? This...this...

Wasn't that girl they said was going to die okay!?

Hearing Luo Ge say this, and looking at Luo Ge, Old Lady Wang was stunned.

"This is Old Lady Wang from the village."

Hearing this "husband", Gu Jinchen also paused slightly before replying smoothly following Luo Ge's words.

"This is my wife. Yesterday I already went to the government office to register the marriage contract. We will hold the worship ceremony in a few days. Old Lady Wang can come eat a meal with us then if you have time."

Having spoken to Luo Ge, he then said to Old Lady Wang.

At this time Old Lady Wang was already quite embarrassed. If she had previously heard that this girl was at death's door, and they hadn't even held a wedding ceremony or anything, she could still have shamelessly tried to matchmake for the sake of that generous bride price money.

After all her son had now reached marriageable age, and she desperately needed money to get her son a daughter-in-law.

But now the girl was hale and hearty, and they had even registered a marriage contract preparing to hold worship ceremonies.

For her to still try and...it would not be good for her to still try and break them up.

As she thought this, she tactically retreated several steps back towards the courtyard gate. With a turn of her body she fled towards the outside.

"Oh, that's right, auntie will come over if I'm free then.

Oh yeah I suddenly remembered I still have things to do at home, won't disturb you guys."

If she didn't leave now, then when? Was she going to wait for Second Master Gu to lose his temper? She wasn't stupid.

There was no chance left to fish for that money. Why not try to stay on good terms.

And she felt guilty. She didn't know because she hadn't seen this girl earlier, but seeing her now she truly felt that the Qian family girl was incomparable, they were as different as heaven and earth.

Even those other girls the village aunties had introduced to Second Master Gu before, including the widows, still seemed slightly better than the Qian family girl.

Of course, except for their household wealth.

The Qian family foundation was indeed more abundant than most farming families'

If their family hadn't looked down on them, she even wanted her son to marry into it...that wouldn't work either. Even if her grandson didn't turn out good-looking it would still be a problem, since her son was quite handsome.

"......"

Watching Old Lady Wang's retreating back, the two adults and two children in the yard looked at each other speechlessly.

Alright, they truly hadn't expected that they would manage to get rid of Old Lady Wang so easily this time.

"Yesterday we discussed a date. I will go out and tell the village clan elders later so they can help witness. "

Thinking it over, Gu Jinchen felt that these old women would still come trying to matchmake for him. It should be because he hadn't publicized the news that he had married a wife.

It is still necessary to take a trip around the village to let everyone know clearly, so as to avoid similar situations in the future.

The Gu family has only one wife in their lifetime, and only recognizes one person in their lifetime.

At the moment he decided to choose her and bring her back, he had already considered it clearly and would naturally take it seriously.

Luo Ge did not know about the Gu family's traditions, so when he said this, she nodded her head.

"Okay." She could guess a little about his thoughts, so she had no objections.

After Gu Jinchen went out, Luo Ge, who was sitting there, was also bored. Her body also felt more flexible, so she went with the two little ones to the hillside outside to pick wild vegetables.

The Gu family did have a vegetable garden, but after the old couple passed away, no one took care of the vegetable garden anymore. Gu Jinchen was still good at farming, but he really couldn't take good care of the vegetables. No matter what he planted, he couldn't keep it alive, so he just left it empty.

They could only find some wild vegetables to use every day.

However, few people in the village would leave land to grow vegetables either, they all dug wild vegetables to use, and used their family land to grow grain.

In this era, grain yields were generally low, and satiety was the key. Vegetables that did not make you full were put behind.
