Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Both Centurion Xue and the old Village Chief shook their heads and sighed.

Li Yuan took a sip of wine.

After pondering for a moment, he said to the old Village Chief and Centurion Xue.

"I intend to set up a workshop in the village."

"To take in some orphaned girls to work."

"This way they can also earn some food to feed themselves."

"But I don't know how to go about it?"

Hearing that Li Yuan wanted to set up a workshop in the village, both Centurion Xue and the old Village Chief became interested.

Centurion Xue spoke first.

"It's not difficult for us military households to set up a workshop. You just need to go to the garrison town's yamen and ask for a business permit."

"If you want to set up a workshop in the village, the old Village Chief and I can vouch for you."

"The rest is just paying a business tax to the garrison town every month."

The old Village Chief then asked.

"I wonder, Brother Li, what kind of workshop do you want to set up?"

They actually laughed together, but said, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence."

Li Yuan looked at the expressions of the two and was a little puzzled, so he quickly asked.

"I wonder, why are you two laughing?"

Centurion Xue said.

"Young Master Li doesn't know."

"I happen to have a distillery in this Dongxiang Village."

"Some time ago, because the price of grain was too high, it has been idle and out of work."

"If Young Master Li wants to set up a distillery, you can give me five strings of cash, and I will transfer the distillery to you."

"Really?"

Li Yuan was overjoyed.

If there was a ready-made distillery in this Dongxiang Village, it would be too convenient.

Moreover, Centurion Xue asking for five strings of cash was actually not expensive.

Although the brewing equipment inside the distillery was not worth much.

But the five strings of cash included the distillery's business permit and land cost.

This saved Li Yuan a lot of trouble and allowed him to start work directly.

The three of them settled the matter of the distillery.

They drank even more happily.

Seeing that the time was almost Hai Shi, and it was getting late.

Li Yuan got up to say goodbye.

Centurion Xue said to him.

"There is one more thing, Li Yuan, you must remember."

"The day after tomorrow, which is the tenth day of you new military households entering the village."

"I will take you new military households to Xihe Fort to collect weapons and military equipment."

"Don't be late then."

Receiving weapons and equipment, this was a major event.

Li Yuan nodded quickly in agreement.

Back home, the Chu sisters were waiting in the house.

Seeing Li Yuan return safely, they were relieved.

Li Yuan called the girls over.

He distributed a set of the coarse cloth quilts he bought today to each of the three girls.

This made them pleasantly surprised.

Sleeping in a quilt was much more comfortable than sleeping on a straw mat.

Li Yuan had walked all day today.

In the afternoon, he went door-to-door to distribute grain, and he was really tired.

He directly pulled Chu Wanjun into the east room and fell asleep.

While Xiaoxia and Xiaozhu still lived in the west room.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning.

Li Yuan had not yet gotten out of bed in the morning.

Xiaoxia came to the east room and knocked on the door.

Li Yuan quickly opened the door and asked what had happened.

Xiaoxia said that she was originally going to chop firewood in the morning.

As a result, a woman came, put down two bundles of firewood and left.

Saying that she was thanking Li Yuan for sending her grain yesterday, and had nothing to repay.

These firewood was her thanks.

Li Yuan was a little curious, and quickly pushed open the door, only to see the back of a thin woman disappearing at the corner of the dirt road.

Chu Wanjun walked out, glanced into the distance and said.

"Husband, that person is called Cuiniang."

"Her husband also died in the Chishui River last year."

"Now she makes a living by chopping firewood."

"She is also a pitiful person."

Li Yuan was stunned, and quickly asked.

"Such a thin woman actually makes a living by chopping firewood?"

Chu Wanjun nodded.

Li Yuan was a little emotional.

Chopping firewood is very hard, and even ordinary men can't stand it.

A woman actually able to endure this hardship, Li Yuan admired her somewhat.

What's more, it was rare for her to be so grateful.

Li Yuan secretly remembered this woman.

After eating breakfast.

Li Yuan asked Chu Wanjun to prepare a gift.

There were two jars of wine, two strips of bacon, a roll of cloth, and a bag of coarse tea.

These were all purchased in the county town yesterday.

He asked Xiaoxia to carry these gifts and went out the door.

Walking on the road, Xiaoxia asked suspiciously.

"Husband, where are these things going to be sent?"

Li Yuan smiled.

"Xiaoxia, why don't you guess where we are going today?"

Xiaoxia shook her head with a puzzled look.

"So many gifts."

"Could it be that husband is going to see the high-ranking official of the fort today?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said to Xiaoxia with a smile.

"Today we are going to see your father."

Xiaoxia said "Ah".

"Husband... Husband is going to my house?"

Li Yuan nodded and said.

"Xiaoxia, you have been in my house for three days."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I want to bring some gifts to see uncle."

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Xiaoxia was very moved.

She lowered her head and said somewhat shyly.

"I am a slave girl, how can I trouble husband to care so much."

Li Yuan said softly.

"Xiaoxia, I have never regarded you as a slave girl."

"Since you have entered my house, we are a family."

"Your father, to me, is an uncle who needs to be filial to."

"Uncle has just recovered from a serious illness, it is appropriate for me to visit him."

Li Yuan's words moved Xiaoxia to tears.

Li Yuan patted her on the shoulder.

"Xiaoxia, lead the way quickly, I don't know the way to your house."

"Yes."

Xiaoxia nodded and led the way in front.

Li Yuan's words moved Xiaoxia's heart.

She now also wanted to take Li Yuan to see her father.

Her husband was so polite, her father should like him.

Xiaoxia and her father used to live in the North Cang Mountain, half a day's journey from Dongxiang Village.

Coming out of Dongxiang Village, they entered the jungle in less than an hour.

The mountain road was difficult to walk and it was easy to get lost.

If it wasn't for Xiaoxia leading the way.

Li Yuan would never be able to find the way into the mountain.

Wandering around in the mountains, they walked until noon.

They finally came to a village in the mountains.

This village was not big, looking from afar, it was only about a dozen households.

The houses were also mostly made of wood, using local materials.

In front of and behind the houses were hanging some animal furs and dried beast meat and fruits.

It seemed that the villagers here mostly lived by hunting and picking.

Li Yuan and Xiaoxia entered the village.

Many people looked up and greeted Xiaoxia warmly.

They looked at Li Yuan who was following behind Xiaoxia with great curiosity.

It seemed that this was the village where Xiaoxia used to live.

Xiaoxia pointed to a wooden house in the middle of the village and said to Li Yuan.

"Husband, that's my home."

"You wait for me to call my father."

But before Xiaoxia could walk over.

A wooden bucket was thrown out of that house.

With a bang, the wooden bucket hit a stone at the door and bounced up.

Making a loud noise, scaring everyone in the village.

Immediately afterwards, a roar came from inside.

"Xiaoxia, that bastard girl."

"She actually ran away without saying a word."

"Does she still consider me her father!"

"It's true that girls can't be kept!"

"When I find her, I will definitely break her legs!"

Hearing the roar of the person in the house.

Xiaoxia shrank her neck in fright.
