Becoming an Old Country Girl: Heading to Flee the Famine with a Baby

Can anyone relate? How did I wake up and find myself time-traveled? Couldn't they have made me a princess? Who is so unlucky to be reborn as a country girl with a child out of wedlock?

Fo...

Chapter 300 Why are you crying?

The next day, Zhen Wanwan got up early and went to the yard to do a set of radio calisthenics to stretch her muscles and bones.

She's afraid she'll become useless if she lies in bed like this every day.

Rou'er found it fascinating, and quietly picked up the shuttlecock, playing with it in a small corner.

He kept asking, "My wife's kung fu is really interesting!"

Rou'er mistakenly thought this was a martial arts training method.

Zhen Wanwan explained helplessly, "Good Rou'er, this isn't some kind of martial arts technique, it's a fitness exercise! It can improve your physical fitness and prolong your life!"

"Oh? Is it that amazing?"

Rou'er scratched her head. She looked at the strange movements and some of them were even a little indecent. She never expected that this kind of exercise could prolong life!

Thinking of this, she clapped her hands excitedly and pleaded, "Wife! Why don't you teach me? I can practice when I'm old!"

Without turning her head, Zhen Wanwan generously said, "Don't just ask yourself. Go and ask around. Anyone who wants to learn can come and practice."

Rou'er responded loudly and skipped off to inform everyone.

Soon, five or six people came into the courtyard.

Looking at Aunt Ma, who was still kneading dough and hadn't washed it properly, and Aunt Wang, who was rushing over with a broom, I saw...

And the hem of his trousers was covered in mud, etc...

Zhen Wanwan's lips twitched involuntarily, and she glanced at Rou'er.

This little girl must have misunderstood something, otherwise she really wouldn't believe that everyone is so interested in radio calisthenics.

Zhen Wanwan sighed and explained loudly, "If anyone has something to do, please go ahead and do it. Practicing this is voluntary; there's no requirement..."

Aunt Ma glanced in Rou'er's direction without realizing it.

The girl hurriedly told them all to go and practice exercises with Zhen Niangzi.

Rou'er stuck out her tongue shyly. Before she could finish speaking, someone came running over.

In the end, only Zhen Wanwan, Rou'er, and the idle servant were left in the courtyard.

"One, two, three, four; two, two, three, four... three, two, three, four..."

The sound of Zhen Wanwan leading the exercises came from the courtyard, attracting the attention of many people.

Zhu Yuan could hear the sounds coming from the courtyard from afar. He dismissed his subordinates and went to the backyard himself.

Seeing Zhen Wanwan constantly jumping and hopping around.

I was momentarily captivated by her bewildering behavior.

It wasn't until she finished a whole set of radio calisthenics and stretched her muscles that Zhen Wanwan noticed Zhu Yuan.

Curious, she stepped forward and looked at Zhu Yuan with a smile, asking, "Husband, aren't you going to the yamen today?"

Zhu Yuan naturally took her hand and gently stroked it: "I've been staying at the manor with Madam lately!"

As long as Zhen Wanwan's illness did not improve, he could not concentrate on his work.

For Zhu Yuan, nothing in the world is more important than Zhen Wanwan.

Zhen Wanwan was so moved she wanted to cry. Zhu Yuan had been a very good husband and father.

Having lived this life again, Zhen Wanwan felt for the first time that it was truly worthwhile.

She would treat Zhu Yuan even better from now on, so that he could also feel the warmth of home.

Their tender moment was interrupted when Sweetie and Baby woke up inside.

Zhen Wanwan entered the house first, followed closely by Zhu Yuan.

Granny Zhang and Xiaomei each comforted one of the children, while Zhuyuan and Zhenwanwan prepared milk for the child first.

"My lady, let me do it!"

Zhen Wanwan didn't argue and took Tianbao herself.

Sweetie's face was covered in tears, and Zhen Wanwan wiped her face clean with a wet towel.

"Little crybaby! Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Sweetie pouted; she dreamt that she had returned to the nightmare of her past life.

The dream felt so real it was terrifying, and that's when she started to cry out in fear.

Granny Zhang frowned and said, "Did you have a nightmare? I've heard that children this young often dream of being taught things by immortals! If they can't learn, they get a beating!"

Zhen Wanwan remained noncommittal; she had heard this rumor in her previous life.

Zhu Yuan prepared the milk and took the baby from Zhang Mama's hands.

Hmm...it seems like the baby has gained weight again...

Zhu Yuan secretly pinched the baby's chubby little bottom, which made the baby want to bite him fiercely.

Zhen Wanwan chuckled and said, "My little darling has grown up and knows how to rebel!"

The little boy's face stiffened, and he really wanted to argue that he had grown up a long time ago!

Previously, his mother would pinch his chubby cheeks from time to time, and he couldn't resist, which led Zhen Wanwan to mistakenly believe that he was a pushover.

It seems Zhuyuan has run into cotton wool.

An eight- or nine-month-old baby is not even as long as someone else's arm. How could he possibly outwit his father?

Zhu Yuan experienced Zhen Wanwan's happiness for the first time; no wonder the lady always liked to knead things.

Wow, it feels so good!

The family was relaxed and at ease inside, and the happy atmosphere affected everyone's good mood.

At this moment, four horse-drawn carriages swaggered into Guangling County.

If Zhen Wanwan and her friends were here, they would definitely see these people at first glance; they are the young masters they met yesterday.

A servant boy approached the first carriage and asked, "Young master! We've arrived at Guangling County and found out who's there. They're in Meizi Village. Shall we head there now?"

Hua Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No rush! Let's go to the inn and stay first!"

The highest-ranking person in the group was Hua Yan. He lifted the carriage curtain and swept his arrogant gaze around.

Feeling bored, he lowered the curtain.

He was stroking a bottle of medicine in his hand, a complex and intense interest flashing in his eyes.

It seems he will gain a lot from this trip.

Remembering the purpose of his trip, Hua Yan's eyes flashed with a determined light.

Suddenly, he remembered what had happened last night, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Luckily, the man is in Meizi Village, so he can solve all his problems on the way.

Zhu Yuan returned to his study and received a report from his subordinate. He nodded and said, "Understood! Continue to monitor his movements."

Zhu Yuan sat in the chair, recalling what he had ordered to be done overnight, a shadow passing over his eyes.

Hua Yan dared to make a move on his wife; this was something Zhu Yuan could not tolerate.

However, that person is still useful for now, as he is needed to treat Zhen Wanwan's illness.

Zhu Yuan didn't plan to do anything to him for the time being; he just treated him as a lucky charm and kept him around.

Of course, there are exceptions. If Zhen Wanwan were to lose even a single hair, Hua Yan would probably be living a life worse than death.

Zhu Yuan unfolded the map and re-examined the locations that had already been checked.

Of all the targets, there is still one that needs to be taken.

Zhu Yuan lowered his head, trying to think. He hadn't been working for nothing these past few days.

Taking advantage of the successive misfortunes of the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince, he secretly seized many cities.

However, on the surface, it still belongs to their original owner.

Zhu Yuan was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to officially announce to the world and have the people acknowledge him as their master.

And this might require the wife's help.
