After that, Wei Fang secretly grew jealous of Yun Hua.
So when Liu Xuejiao suggested that they become close friends, Wei Fang immediately agreed.
Liu Xuejiao was tall and slender, with slightly sallow skin. She wasn’t particularly eye-catching.
Wei Fang didn’t think Yu Hongwei would necessarily take a liking to her.
She felt that only by standing beside someone like Liu Xuejiao would she have a chance of getting Yu Hongwei to notice her.
If Yun Hua stood beside her, there would be no chance for her at all.
Yun Hua had no idea about all the little schemes going through Wei Fang’s mind.
But the novel had made it clear that all those so-called close friends around the female lead would eventually become cannon fodder.
She had no reason to waste her time with these people.
After all, she was nothing more than cannon fodder herself in the novel.
Yun Hua kept feeling as though Liu Xuejiao was subtly sizing her up.
Could she be looking for the jade pendant?
It seemed she really needed to protect this jade pendant carefully.
Keeping it in her space was definitely the safest option.
Yun Hua had been looking for an opportunity to enter her space and examine it properly.
She had only taken a quick look while on the train and hadn’t had time to investigate it carefully.
It wasn’t until she went to take a bath that evening that she finally got the chance.
In the village, men and women had separate bathhouses. There were no individual stalls, so if several people happened to bathe at the same time, everyone could see each other.
Yun Hua was rather embarrassed by that.
She didn’t want other people seeing her naked, and she didn’t want to see anyone else naked either.
So she waited until everyone else had finished bathing before going herself.
Li Jing really wanted to go with her, but Yun Hua refused.
She said she wasn’t used to bathing with other people and was promptly mocked by Wei Fang for being too delicate.
Liu Xuejiao and Wei Fang quickly became friendly with one of the female educated youths who had arrived earlier.
Her name was Liang Ying, and she had already been in the countryside for two years.
Yun Hua actually didn’t want to make friends in the countryside.
After all, a little over a year would pass quickly.
But when she thought about how Li Jing had genuinely treated the original owner well in the novel, Yun Hua decided that she could look after her a little.
While Yun Hua bathed alone in the bathhouse, she asked Li Jing to stand guard outside the door.
To keep Li Jing from getting bored, Yun Hua even gave her two pieces of pastry.
She specifically warned her that she wasn’t allowed to peek. Otherwise, Yun Hua wouldn’t give her any delicious food in the future.
The moment Li Jing heard there would be more delicious food in the future, she nodded vigorously.
She happily stood guard outside the bathhouse.
Fortunately, it was probably too late. Everyone had already finished washing up and gone to bed, so hardly anyone came by.
That suited Li Jing perfectly.
Otherwise, it would have delayed her from eating her pastries.
As soon as Yun Hua entered the space, she quickly walked around the villa once.
After confirming that it really was the villa she had owned in modern times, she was overjoyed.
The only thing that made her feel slightly guilty was the thought that the house had somehow come along with her, while she no longer had to pay the mortgage.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
She hadn’t wanted something like this to happen either.
Since she was already here, all she could do was avoid danger as much as possible and find a way to survive.
For now, though, the most important thing was the spiritual spring water in the courtyard, which looked somewhat like a bathtub.
Yun Hua quickly surveyed her surroundings.
There was nothing in the space except her villa and some farmland.
Nothing else.
She could see everything at a glance.
It was obvious.
Heaven and earth were both here, but she would have to do all the work herself.
She really was going to spend her days earning work points in the village and her nights farming in her space.
Yun Hua nearly cried.
She knew that the spiritual spring water could cleanse impurities from the body.
It could also make her more beautiful and fair-skinned.
It could even strengthen the body and cure illnesses.
Seeing that she was the only person in the space, Yun Hua quickly stripped off her clothes and stepped into the spiritual spring.
Only after getting into the water did she realize what a treasure this spiritual spring really was.
The water felt warm and soothing.
Could this be the legendary kind of water that was warm in winter and cool in summer?
That would be absolutely wonderful.
Yun Hua looked down at the thick layer of black grime that had been expelled from her body.
It smelled awful.
She felt like she was about to throw up from the stench.
She quickly rubbed herself down in the water.
To her surprise, the black grime slowly disappeared.
The novel had said that the spiritual spring had a cleansing effect.
Now that Yun Hua had witnessed it with her own eyes, she could only marvel at how miraculous it was.
She quickly washed herself clean and climbed out of the water to get dressed.
She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but why did her clothes feel a little tighter?
Could bathing in the spiritual spring actually make her gain weight?
She lowered her head.
Uh…
She couldn’t even see her toes.
It turned out that the weight on her chest had grown a little heavier.
Yun Hua remembered that the original owner had already been quite well-endowed.
After soaking in the spiritual spring, she had developed even further.
Yun Hua’s face unconsciously flushed.
She lifted both hands and gave the weight on her chest a little lift.
In my previous life, I wanted a fuller figure but never had one. Now that I’ve finally gotten one after coming here, I never expected it to become this big.
This has to be at least a D cup, right?
On her current small frame, it felt as though even breathing had become difficult.
Worried that Li Jing might have been waiting too long outside the bathhouse, Yun Hua quickly tidied herself up and left.
The two of them then walked back toward the dormitory.
Meanwhile, at the village chief’s house…
The village chief’s wife, Wang Xiangyun, was asking about the new batch of educated youths who had been sent to the countryside.
As soon as Gu Hongjun mentioned the new educated youths, he looked troubled.
“This batch has two female educated youths who are going to be troublesome. They don’t look like people who can work, especially that Yun girl. Just look at how fair and delicate her skin is. She’s obviously never done farm work before. Her family must be pretty well-off. She was probably raised like a spoiled young lady. That girl is far too delicate. She could barely walk today.”
If Yun Hua had been there, she would probably have said that it was because the original owner had been too lazy and disliked exercising.
She had also been pampered by her parents, so she really wasn’t accustomed to hardship.
As for Yun Hua herself, although she had often performed surgeries and worked long shifts in modern times, she still paid close attention to keeping herself fit.
Whenever she had free time, she would go running, work out at the gym, or practice yoga and Pilates.
The original owner, on the other hand, was more of a homebody.
She loved reading, which was why she had developed a liking for the male lead, who looked like a delicate scholar.
But Yun Hua wasn’t there, so naturally she had no idea that the village chief thought she was too delicate.
Still, the helpless expression on the village chief’s face at the train station had given Yun Hua some idea of what he thought.
She didn’t really have anything to argue about.
She really didn’t know how to do farm work.
Beside him, Wang Xiangyun immediately became interested.
“Fair and delicate? Is she very pretty?”
The village chief nodded.
“She is quite pretty.”
After saying that, he suddenly felt that something wasn’t quite right.
“So what if she’s pretty? Can pretty looks feed her? If she can’t earn enough work points, what will everyone else think? And if we don’t give her enough grain and she ends up starving, what are we supposed to do?”
Wang Xiangyun gave her husband an exasperated look.
“She came from the city. How could she possibly have the same strength for farm work? We started doing farm work when we were little, so of course our bodies are different. How about this? Tomorrow, assign Yun to work under me. I’m worried the other aunties might scare her into crying.”
Gu Hongjun thought about it.
It would probably be better to let his wife take care of her.
If some of the other village women were too harsh and frightened Yun Hua into tears, it would only create more trouble.
As Wang Xiangyun ate, she also reminded her son,
“Son, help us out a little tomorrow, all right? If Yun is too slow, you’ll have to put in a little extra effort.”
Gu Huaian was eating his meal when he heard Wang Xiangyun.
He simply answered, “Mm.”
Wang Xiangyun found it somewhat strange.
Her son rarely volunteered to help with anything.
Still, she didn’t think too much of it.
She simply assumed that her son had finally grown up and learned to be considerate of his mother.
