While it was still early, she had to hurry to look for a broker and discuss the matter of buying a shop.

As for going around to look at the shops, when her husband was done resting, they could go and take a look the next day leisurely.

The next day, early in the morning, Qin Xiaoyao hadn’t even finished harvesting the bean sprouts when someone from the broker came to her door. He said that he had already sorted out many shops that met her requirements.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t delay any longer. She simply assigned the work at home to Wang Xiaomei and the others, then called Song Que and went out.

In the end, for the rest of the day, she and Song Que were led by the broker almost all the time to look at the various shops.

Of course, this was mainly because of the famine in Mountain Spring Town.

As a result, the current market demand for shops was not very good, and there were more people selling their shops.

As they had more spare money on hand, the couple planned to buy more shops.

When they saw a good shop with a reasonable price, they didn’t hesitate and asked the broker to help them negotiate with the owner straight away.

As long as the price was right, the transaction could be completed the next day.

This made the broker extremely happy, and he was even more attentive in serving the two of them.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, the couple had already bought a total of eight shops of varying sizes. They were all over the eastern, western, and center parts of the town.

The town’s western district had the most shops, with four, followed by the town center district, with three. The town’s eastern district had the least with only one.

In total, they had spent almost 8000 taels of silver.

After Song Que started going to work at the government office, Qin Xiaoyao also slowed down her pace of looking for shops.

She still had close to 4000 taels of silver in her hands, and she would at most buy two more shops.

Even as she told the broker to continue to look out for suitable shops, Qin Xiaoyao also chose a place to open her porridge shop.

The shop she chose was not far from the government office, located at the intersection of the main street. It was accessible in all directions and the location was very convenient.

The next thing to do was to prepare for the opening of the porridge shop.

She had delegated practically all the bean sprouts business and delivery matters at home to other people, and she was fully focused on getting the porridge shop ready.

Qin Dazhuang went to help her every day. Other than selling bean sprouts, the Qin brothers also went to her shop to help out.

Song Que had already started work at the government office and had gotten to know many people there.

In addition, Qin Xiaoyao had gotten to know many generals and soldiers in the military camp.

As a result, the porridge shop was already bustling even before it officially opened.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Eve.

This was the first time Qin Xiaoyao celebrated the New Year after she came to this world.

On this day, Mountain Spring Town was even more lively.

There were many people on the streets. All of them had changed their earlier dejected looks and were welcoming the arrival of the New Year in high spirits.

Song Que and Qin Xiaoyao were both on leave today, and they weren’t busy with the porridge shop either. They took their whole family out shopping.

Then, the family celebrated a lively New Year’s Eve.

At night, they went out for a walk on the streets again before coming back to stay up all night to welcome the New Year.

Little Song Ye almost couldn’t stand it and nearly fell asleep.

Thanks to Qin Xiaoyao telling them fairy tales, the little child was able to hold back his sleepiness.

In the end, Song Ye wasn’t the only one who was mesmerized by Qin Xiaoyao’s stories.

The whole family couldn’t get enough of her stories.

At midnight, the first sound of firecrackers going off was heard.

Following that, the street was filled with the sound of firecrackers popping.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up with joy. She also brought her family to the courtyard to light some firecrackers.

“Happy New Year!” It was not known who said this, but the whole family broke into smiles.

After setting off the firecrackers, everyone wished each other “Happy New Year” before returning to their rooms to sleep.

In the room, Qin Xiaoyao was lying on the bed, but she was so excited that she couldn’t sleep.

It was New Year’s Day today, but she felt everything was so surreal.

The memories of her previous life were getting further and further away from her.

It was as if only what was happening before her eyes was real.

However, this reality gave her an indescribably wonderful feeling.

“What’s wrong?” Song Que asked when he felt the person beside him turn over a few times.

Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at the man beside her.

She felt a surge of sweetness in her heart.

Then, she snuggled into Song Que’s arms and said, “Hubby, I feel so happy.”

Song Que was caught by surprise.

Following that, a smile appeared on his face.

He couldn’t resist reaching out to stroke Qin Xiaoyao’s head. “Me too,” he responded.

Thereafter, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on Qin Xiaoyao’s forehead. Qin Xiaoyao’s heart felt even sweeter.

“I can’t believe it. I’ve been in this world for almost a year,” Qin Xiaoyao took a deep breath and continued.

“Oh, yes. Hubby, when did you realize that I’m not Qin Sanya?” She didn’t feel like sleeping and suddenly wanted to chat.

Song Que thought for a moment.

“Probably the third day after you transmigrated,” he replied with a smile.

When he recalled what had happened back then, Song Que still felt like laughing.

“Oh… So fast?” Qin Xiaoyao was a little surprised.

She thought she had done a good job.

At the very least, her father and two brothers had never suspected her. Her mother-in-law and the rest of her family also didn’t seem to notice her abnormality.

Song Que smiled as he looked at the woman in his arms and kissed her on the forehead again.

“Of course,” he said proudly.

“Otherwise, do you think I would allow Qin Sanya to keep jumping around by my side?” At this point, a dangerous look flashed across Song Que’s eyes.

Qin Xiaoyao’s sharp senses detected it, and she felt her skin unwittingly tighten.

“That Qin Sanya didn’t offend you, did she?” she asked guiltily.

It couldn’t be helped. Qin Sanya was too special to her.

Most of the time, due to the mix-up in her memories, she even felt that she was Qin Sanya. It was just that Qin Xiaoyao’s will had taken up a more dominant position.

Song Que smiled as he glanced at the woman in his arms.

“She schemed so many times and joined hands with the wandering doctor to set a trap to force me to marry her. Aren’t all these enough to offend me?

“She even said that she wanted to sell Yun’er and Ye’ er. Her thoughts are even more vicious.” When he said this, Song Que’s eyes were already filled with hatred.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart trembled.

She did not expect Song Que to know everything about her predecessor.

“Er… It was indeed Qin Sanya’s fault for teaming up with the wandering doctor to set up a trap. But that’s also because she likes you too much…”

When she saw Song Que looking at her, Qin Xiaoyao gulped nervously and continued, “Also, when she said that she would sell Yun’er and Ye’er, she was just saying it flippantly. It was just to attract your attention.”

“You’re speaking up for her?” Song Que suddenly said.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled guiltily.

“No… I’m not really speaking up for her. It’s just that I happened to know the real situation.”

Song Que’s eyes darkened.

“Did Qin Sanya have a deep influence on you?” he asked.

Qin Xiaoyao was astounded.

Then, she nodded.

“Mm-hmm.”

“Actually, I’m suspecting that maybe I was her in my past life.”

When she said this, Qin Xiaoyao reached out and wrapped her arms around Song Que’s waist.

She did not dare to look at Song Que and continued, “If I were her and grew up in the environment she was in, there’s a high probability that I’ll do some despicable things to get you too.”

Qin Xiaoyao felt the body of the man she was hugging stiffen. She quickly added, “However, I won’t be as stupid as her to get spiteful with you. And I won’t do things that will hurt you and your family..”
