Xu Xinning deliberately came home late today. She thought she could imagine what was going on at home, but to her surprise, Niu Zhaodi stopped making a fuss after she found out that Xu Daya was mentally challenged. It seems that Niu Zhaodi also loves Xu Daya, but her love is divided into different levels.

As Niu Zhaodi walked out of the village, Xu Xinning stood not far away watching her.

When she looked into the distance with a blank stare and a helpless smile, Xu Xinning suddenly realized that Niu Zhaodi seemed to have changed.

In Xu Xinning's eyes, Niu Zhaodi is silly. She is willing to give her all for her family. Perhaps this is related to the education she received from childhood.

Niu Zhaodi is truly pitiful.

After Niu Zhaodi left the village, Xu Xinning also turned around and went home.

Mu Jingheng has been quite busy lately; during the day, he went to sell the items in Xu Xinning's space again.

Although a lot of livestock were sold last time, it was only the tip of the iceberg compared to the number in Xu Xinning's space.

Recently, Mu Jingheng has been selling fruit, and he has also suggested that Xujia Village start planting medicinal herbs.

The military's medicine department needs a lot of herbs, especially after Xu Xinning submitted many prescriptions, the demand for herbs has been increasing.

Mu Jingheng felt that if they could reach an agreement with the military on this cooperation, then the Xu family's good days were just around the corner.

It might even be a project that benefits future generations!

Xu Xinning has already started planting rice, wheat, corn, and other crops in her space, and Mu Jingheng will probably be busy soon.

Mu Jingheng went to sell the fruit himself.

Xu Xinning used her mind to put all the packaged fruit into the storage space, which made things much more convenient for Mu Jingheng.

It was almost dark, and Mu Jingheng still hadn't returned.

Today, Mu Jingheng went to see Brother Biao, the boss of the black market. If this person is trustworthy, Mu Jingheng wants to cooperate with him in the long term. With such a channel, there will be no worry about selling the items in Xu Xinning's space.

Mu Jingheng was reborn, and he knew the direction of the country's development, so he had already figured out how to proceed when the time came.

Xu Yao resides in Kyoto.

In the south, there was his good brother, Kuang Guangzhi.

Mu Jingheng already had a plan for everything.

When Niu Zhaodi returned home, the old bachelor was already cooking. Upon seeing Niu Zhaodi empty-handed, he couldn't control his temper.

Niu Zhaodi did not fight back this time, letting the old bachelor beat and scold her.

The old bachelor was taciturn in front of outsiders, but unexpectedly, his violent side was brought out in such a short time after he got married.

But as the fight went on, Niu Zhaodi's stomach started to hurt.

Niu Zhaodi had given birth before, so she understood what this kind of pain meant.

Niu Zhaodi actually got pregnant after Xu Zeyu, but she miscarried because she wasn't careful, and she hasn't gotten pregnant since.

The pain this time was very similar to the pain I felt when I lost my baby.

Niu Zhaodi's originally calm and uneventful heart seemed to suddenly come alive, as if by grasping this child, she could grasp her life.

Niu Zhaodi: "Husband, husband, stop hitting me! My stomach hurts, I think I'm pregnant."

The old bachelor's leg, which he was about to kick out, froze in mid-air.

It's impossible for an old bachelor like him not to want children. He had fantasized about it after Niu Zhaodi married him, but when he inquired, he learned that Niu Zhaodi had not been pregnant since giving birth to her son. At that moment, his fantasy was shattered. He thought he might never have his own child in this life, which is why he became more and more comfortable beating Niu Zhaodi.

But then suddenly he said that she might have a child. The old bachelor began to regret beating Niu Zhaodi. If he had beaten the child away, wouldn't he be a sinner to his family?

The old bachelor looked at Niu Zhaodi helplessly, unsure of what to do.

Niu Zhaodi: "Husband, quickly carry me to the bed, and then go find the barefoot doctor. I'm afraid if we're too late, we won't be able to save the baby."

The old bachelor's hands were trembling as he held Niu Zhaodi, afraid of hurting her belly again.

Old bachelor: "Are you sure you're pregnant?"

Niu Zhaodi nodded, then asked the old bachelor to pour her a cup of hot water. After drinking the hot water, she seemed to feel much better.

The old bachelor was in a hurry to find a barefoot doctor.

The barefoot doctor was hurriedly summoned, but his skills were limited and he couldn't see anything wrong. He simply suggested that they wait until dawn to go to the county hospital for a checkup.

After the barefoot doctor left, the old bachelor, for the first time ever, took out rice to cook white rice porridge for Niu Zhaodi.

This was the second time Niu Zhaodi had eaten white rice porridge since she married into the family.

The old bachelor was stingy. He ate mostly coarse grains and loved saving money. He was the kind of person who couldn't bear to spend a single penny. He treated money like his life, which was one of the main reasons why Niu Zhaodi couldn't get anything to send to her parents' home after marrying into the family.

But this same old bachelor is now cooking rice porridge for Niu Zhaodi, and even bringing it to her bedside to eat.

Seeing this old bachelor, Niu Zhaodi suddenly burst into tears.

The old bachelor was at a loss again, holding the bowl in one hand and awkwardly wiping Niu Zhaodi's tears with the other.

The old bachelor said, "No, no, stop crying. I promise I won't hit you anymore, okay? As long as you give birth to the child safely, we can live a good life together."

Through her teary eyes, Niu Zhaodi seemed to see Xu Yaoqiang from the past, the same way he had treated her when they first got married.

She remembered that when she was pregnant with Xu Daya, she didn't work. Xu Yaoqiang was worried about her being alone at home, so he was always in a hurry to come home. He also cooked the meals.

When did they start to change?

It must have been after Xu Daya was born, right?

At that time, she was instigated by her family and only remembered them, not that she was already a mother.

At that time, Xu Yaoqiang was both a father and a mother, and he also had to go to the fields to earn work points. Xu Daya often cried because she was hungry. He despised Xu Daya as a money-losing child and cursed at her in front of Xu Yaoqiang every day.

As time went on, Xu Yaoqiang became increasingly indifferent to her.

After Xu Zeyu was born, Xu Yaoqiang told her, "Let's live a good life together from now on," but she didn't cherish it.

Niu Zhaodi's tears flowed more and more, but she still nodded to the old bachelor.

This might be her last chance. If she loses even this last chance, she might not be able to live anymore.

The old bachelor seemed to have received some kind of promise, and chuckled, even kindly feeding Niu Zhaodi the porridge.

After eating the porridge, Niu Zhaodi fell into a deep sleep.

She had a dream in which she saw a place shrouded in white mist. Curious, she went inside and saw Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus throne. Guanyin Bodhisattva beckoned to her, and Niu Zhaodi stepped forward with trepidation. The Bodhisattva gave her a snow-white lotus seed. When she took the lotus seed and looked up at the Bodhisattva again, the Bodhisattva had already disappeared.
