The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

"Is this the pile of extremely smelly pig intestines you were talking about?" Chen Rong exaggeratedly picked up a piece of tempting braised pork intestines, his face full of disbelief.

Chen Xi chuckled, with a cunning light in his eyes: "Yes, come on, try it and tell me how it feels?"

Chen Rong half-believed and half-doubtedly put the piece of pig intestine into his mouth, chewing it slowly, and gradually a look of amazement appeared on his face, "This taste is absolutely amazing! Sister, where did you learn this skill? How can you make it so delicious!"

Xie Tianyi was infected by the two people's emotions, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, then nodded approvingly, "Indeed, it is fragrant, soft and chewy, your cooking skills are really not to be underestimated."

Chen Xi was secretly proud in her heart, thinking of the points rules of the mysterious space. She could accumulate points every time she went out to see a doctor and save someone. In the future, whether it was medicinal materials or daily necessities, she could generously exchange them with points. She didn't have to hide anything anymore. Financial independence made her feel at ease.

After a while, the rich pork rib soup was drunk up, and the braised pork intestines disappeared without a trace. The three of them put down their chopsticks reluctantly, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

Chen Xi quickly cleared the tableware on the table and prepared to send it to the kitchen. "Xiaoyang and Xiaochen, I'll assign you a small task. Send these fresh wild vegetables to the backyard to feed the chickens. From now on, their diet will be in your hands."

The two children cheered and jumped for joy; they never tired of the task of taking care of the little lives.

Xiao Yang secretly glanced at Xiao Chen beside him, lowered his voice and asked quietly: "Didn't you say before that if Daddy found a bride, he would no longer like us and would beat us? But why is this beautiful sister so gentle to us?"

Xiao Chen looked at his brother's puzzled face, thought for a moment, and answered seriously: "Sister must be so kind to us because she loves Daddy so much. Since sister treats us like this, we should also treat her well."

The two brothers smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

Chen Xi was in the kitchen, washing dishes, and her eyes would occasionally cast tenderly towards a corner of the yard.

There, two children gathered around a group of fluffy chicks, carefully handing over the rice grains in their hands.

Recalling the past, the days when I depended on my younger brother Chen Rong were like an old scar that hurts dully.

At that time, his parents went to work far away, and their world consisted only of that cold old house and their strict and ruthless grandmother.

The closet is full of yellowed and faded old clothes, each of which tells of the difficulties of life.

The resentment and hatred towards Old Mrs. Chen once again surged into her heart along with these memories, but it also reminded her to cherish the beauty in front of her even more.

As the sun set, Chen Rong carefully helped her brother-in-law Xie Tianyi to the bed, then turned around to get water to clean him.

Xie Tianyi's voice was filled with guilt: "Chen Rong, I have to trouble you to take care of me. My body has really become a burden to the family."

Chen Rong gently wiped her brother-in-law's wound and comforted him: "Brother-in-law, don't say that. Family members should support each other. I believe in my sister. She has the medical skills to bring people back to health. Your leg will definitely get better."

At this moment, Chen Xi walked into the room and just happened to hear this conversation.

Xie Tianyi's tone revealed a bit of helplessness: "After so many years, my legs have lost all feeling. I'm afraid there is no cure."

Chen Xi's eyes were firm, and his words were full of encouragement: "Don't think like that, mentality is very important. I will go to the clinic tomorrow and ask them to prepare a set of silver needles. I will come back and try to do acupuncture for you, maybe it will bring a turnaround."

This medical skill, known as the "ghost hand" in modern times, is more than enough to deal with such minor injuries.

After taking care of everything, Chen Xi began to arrange the daily life: "There are limited rooms at home, we have to allocate them reasonably. Chen Rong, you can take the two little ones to sleep in the next room. Your brother-in-law needs to be taken care of at night, and I will be next to him."

Chen Xi held a rag in the clear water and walked towards the next room. Although the room was small, it seemed particularly warm because of the children's laughter.

Soon, the room was completely new, with a faint scent of soap filling the air, as if new vitality had been injected into every corner.

"Okay, you guys go and get some rest. I have tidied up the room." Chen Xi looked at the little guy's innocent face, his eyes full of love.

"Two little ones, let's go back to the room and sleep." She bent down and held one of them in each hand.

"Brother, can you tell us a story tonight? Just like dad used to do." The two children stared at Chen Rongpan eagerly.

Chen Rong smiled warmly and agreed while chatting with the children as they walked. His words revealed endless pampering and care.

Chen Xi looked at the three of them, a warm smile forming on the corner of his mouth.

"I'll go to the kitchen to get some warm water so you can soak your feet and relieve your fatigue." Chen Xi whispered and walked towards the kitchen.

In the bedroom, Xie Tianyi lay quietly on the bed, his long eyelashes casting a shadow, his eyes hiding complex and unspeakable emotions.

I used to think that Chen Xi's marriage to him was just a temporary solution, but now that I have witnessed her meticulous care for her family, I suddenly realize her sincerity and deep affection.

He felt mixed emotions, gratitude and self-blame intertwined.

Chen Xi came back with warm water and caught Xie Tianyi's complicated expression at a glance, "Come, let me wash your feet and relax."

She gently lifted Xie Tianyi's feet, carefully took off his socks, and cautiously soaked his tired feet in warm water, rubbing them slowly with her fingers.

"Being with me, you have suffered a lot. You work so hard every day, and you still have to take care of a useless person like me." Xie Tianyi whispered, his voice full of guilt and self-blame.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi raised her eyes and looked at him, with determination and tenderness flashing in her eyes: "If you hadn't taken me in, my brother and I would have been homeless long ago. I haven't had the chance to repay this kindness yet, so how can I say I feel wronged. What's more, you were my savior, and I gave you everything I was willing to give. Don't blame yourself for this anymore, we will face everything together."

A warm current surged in Xie Tianyi's heart, and his faith became stronger.

He must study hard, obtain academic success, and make this family a better place because of him.

As the night fell, Chen Xi looked at the thin bed with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He then said softly, "There is only one bed, why don't we sleep on each end? This way, if you need any help at night, I can respond quickly."

Xie Tianyi understood what was going on and said nothing more. The two of them just slept in their clothes and spent a peaceful night together.

At the first light of the next morning, Chen Xi had quietly gotten up and was ready to go to the town's clinic.

She is busy in the clinic not only to make a living, but also out of a sense of responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded.

After about half an hour of bumpy carriage ride, Chen Xi and his group finally arrived at the town.

Chen Xi stepped into the clinic with ease, and a faint scent of medicine filled his nose, making him feel calm and peaceful.
