After transmigrating overnight, Su Yuhe became a young farming wife in Zaoliu Village, living in a mud hut with a thatched roof and eating coarse grain and sweet potatoes.
Determined to give her mother and younger brother a comfortable life, she used the potatoes, tomatoes, chili peppers, and carrots in her personal space to spark a culinary craze in ancient times.
Just as things were beginning to improve, some troublemakers started showing up. Su Yuhe had to find someone to guard the house, and after looking around, she picked the little mute at the head of the village.
"Young man, want to earn some silver?"
"Two taels a month. Injuries are paid extra."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."
The little mute: "..."
Later, after living with the Su family for several years, the little mute suddenly disappeared. Su Yuhe moved to the capital with her mother and younger brother.
On a bustling avenue, Su Yuhe recognized the little mute at once, chatting away. She followed him all the way to the Prime Minister's residence.
Su Yuhe: "Weren't you mute?"
Jian Yuanhuai: "I was."
Su Yuhe: "How can a mute talk?"
Jian Yuanhuai: "What did you just ask me?"
Su Yuhe: "Weren't you mute???"
Jian Yuanhuai: "Oh, no."
Su Yuhe: "..."
Su Yuhe praised him silently: "Brilliant!" After playing the innocent little lamb for all these years, he'd finally shown his fox's tail.
