It took Qin Xue more than twenty minutes to arrive at the nearby village with her back basket, where there was a small river.

As Qin Xue walked along the riverbank, the sight of the crystal-clear water calmed her. Unconsciously, she had already been here for almost a month, and time had passed quickly.

Qin Xue untied her back basket and picked up some beautiful stones, gathering goose egg-sized pebbles into the space one by one.

Seeing small fish in the river, Qin Xue brought her back basket to catch fish, and indeed, she caught more than a dozen fishlings.

Qin Xue put the fishlings in a small pit with some water beside Spirit Spring, planning to dig a bigger pit later to see if they could be raised bigger.

If they could grow big, she wouldn’t have to buy fish in the future – she could simply catch them directly from the space. The thought made her happy.

Qin Xue changed locations to continue catching fishlings until she was tired. She then placed her back basket on the riverbank to dry.

Qin Xue saw some river sand in front of her and took a hoe and shovel from the space to dig some up for constructing a bathing pool later. She would need to buy some cement, though.

Using her consciousness, Qin Xue checked the sand and stones in the space, and stopped digging when she saw she had enough. She then packed up her things and returned to the military district.

Qin Xue felt increasingly capable, but she wondered about her current educational background.

Should she read some books and take the college entrance exam to become a college student? In those years, college students were highly sought-after, and the government even provided job assignments after graduation.

Perhaps she should take an exam to become a doctor, in which case she could resume her past career. This would also explain her medical skills if she decided to use them.

Well, that was a good idea. After the clothing store’s matters were on track, she would review materials and take the college entrance exam. She happily decided on this plan.

Qin Xue returned home in a good mood and started cooking. She made a sour and spicy shredded potato dish, a tomato and egg soup, and a bowl of white rice on the table.

Qin Xue untied her apron and sat down, ready to eat, but someone knocked on the door. Who could it be at this time?

She put down her bowl and opened the door to see Bai Jing, the white lotus she had met earlier in the day!

“Qin Xue, I’m here,” she said, slipping past Qin Xue and squeezing inside.

Seeing the fragrance wafting from the dishes on the table, Bai Jing wanted to eat as well.

“Qin Xue, haven’t you eaten yet?”

Qin Xue rolled her eyes – Bai Jing was obviously feigning ignorance. “Yes, do you need anything from me?”

Qin Xue closed the door and sat down to eat, not caring about Bai Jing’s expression. She was already hungry as she had been working earlier.

“Uh, it’s not a big deal, I just haven’t seen you in a long time, so I came to see you,” Bai Jing said, annoyed.

Didn’t she see herself standing here?

Qin Xue didn’t even invite her to eat, probably due to her big ego. If Qin Xue knew Bai Jing’s thoughts, she would certainly scoff at her histrionic antics. “Oh, I’m fine, there’s nothing interesting here. You can go back.”

Qin Xue couldn’t be bothered to deal with such a white lotus; she’d rather spend her time drawing some design sketches.

“Qin Xue, are you mad at me for not visiting you when you were hospitalized? I had to work and couldn’t get time off, so I didn’t come. Please don’t be mad, okay?” Actually, Bai Jing had time, but she was scared.

Though Qin Xue didn’t push herself, Bai Jing witnessed the accident and was afraid that her death would involve her, so she didn’t visit.

Who knew that Qin Xue would not only survive but also become even more beautiful? Moreover, Bai Jing was almost out of money, so she had to turn to Qin Xue for help.

She hoped Qin Xue would give her money and tickets as before, as well as let her eat at Qin Xue’s house.

But Qin Xue seemed different now.

“No, I’m not mad at you. You see, Molin has been on a mission for so long and hasn’t come back. It’s not good for a pregnant woman like me to be upset, so I didn’t even think about it. Don’t worry,” Qin Xue said, wondering what other reasons Bai Jing might have to keep chatting.

“I’m glad you’re not mad. We’re good friends, after all. I know you wouldn’t be mad about such a small thing. Qin Xue, you’re the best. By the way, I heard from other sisters-in-law that you often go to the city lately. What have you been doing?” Bai Jing asked, thinking about how she had secretly seen Qin Xue leave several times without being noticed.

“Actually, there’s not much to it. I’ve been looking for work lately. As you know, Molin is on a mission and I don’t know when he’ll be back. I don’t have a job or income, and I’m pregnant, so I have to find a way to make a living. Can you lend me some money? When I find a job and get paid, or when Molin comes back, I’ll repay you,” Qin Xue replied, doubting that Bai Jing would have the nerve to stay any longer..
