Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 186

Sheng Nuan already knew from customer service that Pei Shuo came from a high-ranking family, but she hadn’t expected that he could dig so well. He did it quickly and skillfully (￣▽￣)~*

In no more than half an hour, Pei Shuo was done, walked out of the field, and handed the hoe back to Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan quickly took it with a flattering smile, and at that moment, Pei Shuo noticed her soft, white hands.

Sure enough, she was spoiled. A little village girl who didn’t know how to do farm work, couldn’t fetch water, and was too lazy to dig… No wonder she had such soft, delicate skin and was so pampered.

As they walked back, Sheng Nuan carried the hoe and walked beside Pei Shuo, showering him with flattery.

“Company Commander Pei, you’re really awesome! You’re already a company commander at a young age, and not only can you serve in the army, but you can also dig.”

Pei Shuo’s mouth twitched slightly.

Sheng Nuan chuckled, “If my mom makes me dig again tomorrow, could you maybe… hehe…”

Pei Shuo glanced at her expressionlessly from the corner of his eye.

Sheng Nuan smiled obsequiously and cautiously tugged at his sleeve, “Come on, help me out. After all, the military and the farmers are one big family…”

The girl’s fair, delicate fingers brushed against his darker arm, the contrast in skin tones stark. The touch was soft and slightly cool, yet Pei Shuo felt as if he had been burned and abruptly shook the person off.

Sheng Nuan was caught off guard and stumbled, nearly falling. Then she saw Pei Shuo looking at her coldly with a tense expression.

She was completely baffled.

If you don’t want to help, fine, don’t help. But you don’t have to get so angry, right?

He almost threw her flat on her back!

Pei Shuo shot her another cold look before turning and continuing to walk forward.

Walking behind him, Sheng Nuan pouted and muttered under her breath, “What’s with the fierceness? Being so big is impressive?… Back in the day, Sister could’ve beaten three of you.”

Pei Shuo suddenly stopped and turned back, “Really?”

Sheng Nuan lifted her chin, about to say something bold, but then she caught sight of her own thin arms holding the hoe like bamboo poles. With a huff, she fell silent, shifting her gaze away as if she hadn’t said anything.

Pei Shuo’s lips curled slightly before he turned and continued walking…

A few days later, as the county high school was about to start its new term, Sheng Nuan told her family that she wanted to continue her studies.

The original host had attended school before but had dropped out after completing the first year of high school, wasting a year.

She borrowed books from Educated Youth Li Qingmu and went through the material from her second year of high school, finding no major issues. Then she mentioned to her family that she wanted to go back to school.

She had originally wanted to go straight to the third year of high school, but the school likely wouldn’t agree to that, so she could only start from the second year.

When they learned that Sheng Nuan was going back to school, although Sheng Qingyang and his wife were suspicious and worried that she would spend three days fishing and two days drying the nets¹, they did not object too much after Sheng Nuan expressed her determination.

Sheng Fei, standing off to the side, clicked his tongue, “You’ve been studying quite seriously lately, I just don’t know how long you’ll be able to keep it up.”

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow, “Just wait and see.”

Before Sheng Qingyang and his wife could leave, Sheng Nuan pulled out a small cloth pouch, revealing the money inside… The other three were instantly shocked.

“Where did the money come from? Be honest and explain!”

Seeing that Xue Suwan was about to pull her ear again, Sheng Nuan quickly covered her ears and said hurriedly, “I found an old wild ginseng root in the mountains and sold it in the county… If you don’t believe me, go ask at Guangxin² Pharmacy in the county.”

Sheng Qingyang was stunned, “Wild ginseng? You dug up ginseng?”

Sheng Nuan nodded firmly, “Didn’t I often go into the mountains some time ago? Whenever I entered the mountains, I searched and searched. My feet hurt from walking. I searched many times for a long time… Finally, I found an old wild ginseng.”

Sheng Fei frowned, “Weren’t you going to catch pheasants?”

Sheng Nuan replied seriously, “While I was searching for wild ginseng, I caught the pheasants along the way…”

Sheng Fei murmured, “So, during your time in the mountains, not only did you manage to collect a whole basket of mushrooms each time, but you also caught two pheasants and found an old wild ginseng at the same time?”

The harvest seems a bit too bountiful…

Sheng Nuan clenched her fist, “It must be heaven’s blessing. Seeing how poor our family is, so poor that even Second Brother can’t find a wife, it gave me such good luck.”

Sheng Fei pondered, “So, according to what you said, heaven pitied for me not being able to marry a wife, so that ginseng was meant for me, right? Well then, give the money back to me.”

Sheng Nuan: (╬￣皿￣)=○

However, with Sheng Fei’s joke, Sheng Qingyang and his wife managed to calm down a bit, though Sheng Nuan’s ear was pulled red by Xue Suwan again.

Next came the discussion on how to handle the few hundred yuan. Xue Suwan believed they should save it, but this was met with unanimous opposition from the other three.

Sheng Qingyang believed they should fix up the house a bit so that when they arranged a marriage for Sheng Fei, it wouldn’t look too shabby, and the remaining money would be for Sheng Nuan to decide.

For once, Sheng Fei and Sheng Nuan reached an agreement. They thought the money should be invested.

Sheng Nuan took the opportunity to propose leasing the nearby mountain land.

The village had just issued a notice about land leasing, and their village was also one of the pilot areas…

But since no one knew what to do with the land yet, no one was paying attention to the notice.

Sheng Nuan seriously suggested, “Let’s lease that mountain land.”

Sheng Fei was a bit skeptical, “Lease it, and then what? What’s it for?”

Since the Gastrodia elata seeds weren’t ready yet, Sheng Nuan didn’t explain much and simply insisted, “Lease it. We’ll figure out what to do with it later. It’s so cheap, even if we just farm it, we won’t lose money…”

Sheng Qingyang and his wife were puzzled: When did their daughter become so decisive?

But Sheng Fei’s eyes brightened and he agreed with Sheng Nuan, “Yes. I also think this is a great opportunity. The country has just started this pilot program, so they will definitely support it. Let’s lease it first… Worst case, we can go dig for ginseng in the field.”

Before he could finish, Sheng Qingyang smacked him on the head, “Why don’t you lease a forest and wait for rabbits while you’re at it?”

Sheng Qingyang and his wife weren’t particularly capable, but they were reasonable and willing to listen. In the end, the family decided to go ahead with leasing the land.

The next day, Sheng Qingyang and Sheng Fei went to the county early in the morning. First, they inquired about the policies regarding land leasing, and then they went to No. 3 High School to enroll Sheng Nuan.

No. 3 High School was one of the less prestigious schools, not as renowned as No. 1 High School or North High School, but it was easier to get into, so Sheng Nuan chose No. 3 High School.

Xue Suwan went off to work, and with nothing to do at home, Sheng Nuan planned to head to Baishi Village to check on Old Ma’s progress after cooking lunch.

But just as she was about to start cooking, customer service suddenly reminded her that in the original plot, today was the day Ma Er Ya would be assaulted by that rogue.

Pei Shuo would also be going to Baishi Village today, but by the time he got there, it would already be too late…

Sheng Nuan paused, then put down the ingredients she had prepared for lunch and headed out to the yard.

She had just seen Pei Shuo come back.

Knocking on Pei Shuo’s door, she heard him say “Come in,” and Sheng Nuan pushed the door open.

“Company Commander Pei…” Sheng Nuan smiled brightly, “Are you going to Baishi Village today? Can you take me with you?”

Pei Shuo was looking at the blueprints when he heard her words. He glanced up at her and replied with a slight “hmm,” saying, “I’ll go later.”

Sheng Nuan walked over to his desk and tried to negotiate, “How about we go now?”

Pei Shuo paused slightly, raising his eyes again.

Sheng Nuan clasped her hands together, “Let’s go now, okay? I’m in a hurry and need to come back to make lunch for my mom. Otherwise, she’ll pull my ears again when she gets home…”

Pei Shuo, seemingly a bit annoyed by her rambling, gave her a brief glance, then closed the folder, stood up, and grabbed the car keys from the side.

Sheng Nuan’s face lit up with a smile, “Hehe, let’s go…”
