Reborn from the apocalypse, Pei Shaorong had only one thought in his mind: kill that despicable couple, collect supplies, and prepare for the end of the world!
One year later...
Pei Sha...
To be honest, if we don't count Mo Lanzhu, there can be no grudges or interactions between Sun Yaocai and Pei Shaorong.
But because of Mo Lanzhu, Pei Shaorong hated Sun Yaocai from the bottom of his heart.
However, Pei Shaorong hated Sun Yaocai, and Sun Yaocai didn't like him at all, just because Mo Lanzhu failed to borrow money from the Pei family before!
Sun Yaocai didn’t know about the grudge between Mo Lanzhu and Pei Shaorong in her previous life. He only knew that the Pei family was his wife’s relative and his brother’s husband’s family. They had such a close relationship and the Pei family was rich, so why didn’t he help them in the first place?
Needless to say, Lanzhu's brother and her husband must have despised the poverty of the Sun family. They looked down on him for failing the exam and were afraid that he would not be able to pay back the money he borrowed!
Because of failing the college entrance examination, Sun Yaocai was looked down upon by many people. He was devastated and angry by the fact that his relatives and neighbors turned against him.
The Pei family refused to lend money, and Old Man Mo turned against the Sun family and made trouble. The attitudes of relatives and neighbors made Sun Yaocai inexplicably develop a kind of jealousy and indignation towards the world.
Sun Yaocai, who didn't understand what was going on at the moment, wanted to speak up for justice immediately when he saw Pei Shaorong's "vicious" bullying look.
"Master Pei, please forgive me when you can. You are so cruel to a weak woman. Isn't it too much..."
Mo Lanzhu beside him also echoed, "Pei Shaorong, it's hard to change one's nature. You even bully women. Are you still a man?"
After the two finished talking, Pei Shaorong immediately laughed, "I'm overdoing it? Mr. Sun, I think you've read all this book into a pig's stomach. If someone sends you a mistress to destroy your relationship with your spouse, will you try to forgive them when you can?"
After saying that, Pei Shaorong looked at Mo Lanzhu again and said, "And you, Miss, who do you think you are? Do you need to ask whether I am a man or not? Besides being self-righteous, you have also learned the skill of meddling in other people's affairs, right?"
Looking at Mo Xiaobao, whose face was still very pale, Pei Shaorong was very angry. He had spent so much effort to comfort Mo Xiaobao and told him not to worry about the child.
Today, just two words from Old Lady Xue destroyed all of Abao's psychological preparations. Not only did she waste all his efforts, but she also scolded him so harshly.
If Abao continues to be depressed because of the child, Pei Shaorong thinks that he will kill someone...
"Don't slander me. How dare you accuse this young lady of her innocence? A gentleman should do what he should do and should not do what he should not do. Master Pei, you are going too far!"
Sun Yaocai didn't know what "mistress" meant, but he understood the meaning of "destroying the relationship between husband and wife". He was immediately furious. Pei Shaorong, a man, was arguing with a woman and saying nonsense to destroy her reputation in front of so many people. This was not what a gentleman should do.
"Haha, Sun the talented man, Sun the Confucian scholar, I'm really sorry, but I, Pei, am not a gentleman. I have a low level of education and I don't even know how to write the word 'gentleman'..." Pei Shaorong sneered.
"If you are a gentleman, you should do a good deed and take this girl and old woman away. Don't let them get in the way of my house. I can't afford this girl and mother-in-law who came to my doorstep!"
“………”
Pei Shaorong's attitude was really arrogant. He looked much more ferocious than when he annoyed Liu Meihua during last year's Spring Festival. It was the first time that the people in Linjiang Village saw him with such an attitude and expression.
Normally in the village, Pei Shaorong was always smiling and polite to everyone he met, but he suddenly turned into such a fierce and rogue look that everyone was unable to react.
The same goes for Mo Lanzhu. In her impression, Pei Shaorong may be arrogant, but he is also a brainless and eloquent person who would resort to violence if he disagrees with someone else's words. How come Pei Shaorong is so good at scolding people now?
Sun Yaocai is a scholar with a thin skin. He is good at writing poems and lyrics, but quarreling with others is his Achilles' heel. He stared at Pei Shaorong and was speechless just like Aunt Xue.
Xue Huaer was now even more ashamed. She had tried to commit suicide but was insulted instead. She looked at Pei Shaorong with hatred, then lay on Sun Yaocai and cried pitifully, which immediately made Sun Yaocai feel soft in his heart.
On the other side, Aunt Xue was so angry that she could hardly breathe. The Pei guy was going too far. She just said a few words to Mo Xiaobao about his infertile boy, but the Pei guy turned against her and ruined her daughter's reputation. It was so hateful!
If this woman's reputation is ruined, no matter how beautiful she is, it will be difficult for her to find a husband in the future. What should her daughter do?
The increasingly loud discussions of the surrounding villagers almost drowned out Aunt Xue. She gritted her teeth and made a "clacking" sound. She made up her mind and pounced directly at Pei Shaorong with her teeth bared.
"Mr. Pei, it's you who coveted my daughter's beauty, and now you're defaming my daughter's reputation. I'm going to fight you to the death today!"
Aunt Xue rushed towards Pei Shaorong with an angry look of a victim. No villager had seen her go to the village to propose marriage, and she couldn't let Hua'er's reputation be ruined.
She had good intentions and wanted her beautiful daughter to marry this guy named Pei, but she didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a bastard. Not only did he not know what was good for him, he even dared to ruin her Hua'er's reputation. Today, she must make sure that this guy cannot get away and give her Hua'er an explanation!
Aunt Xue was furious, but considering Pei Shaorong's tall and strong stature, she didn't dare to rush up to him and fight.
Seeing Pei Shaorong raising his hand reflexively, Aunt Xue simply rolled her eyes, pretended to be like "you hit me" and fell down...
"Ah, Aunt Xue fainted!" A villager exclaimed, and Xue Tieshi and Lin Ge'er who came later also ran over to check.
Not to mention that this old woman Aunt Xue had pretty good acting skills. Her face had already turned a little blue from anger, and now as she lay on the ground she even managed to make some muscle twitches and twists, which really looked a bit scary.
Xue Tieshi and Lin Ge'er, who were originally angry at Aunt Xue for her reckless behavior, were also frightened. After all, she was their mother and mother-in-law, they had to be worried. The surrounding villagers had already started calling for doctors to save people.
Staring at the "fainted" Aunt Xue, Pei Shaorong sneered in his heart, and pulled Mo Xiaobao, who also wanted to go up to check, over.
"What's wrong? You fainted before you even touched me?"
Pei Shaorong pushed the crowd aside and walked to Aunt Xue. He saw that the village doctor took out the silver needle he carried with him to save Aunt Xue but Aunt Xue did not wake up. He immediately admired the old woman's acting skills and ability to endure pain. She could still pretend even after the needle was inserted into her body!
The villagers couldn't see it, but he, the person involved, knew it very well. The old woman fainted before he even did anything. It was obvious that she was trying to take advantage of the villagers' sympathy and kill him by relying on her seniority.
Pei Shaorong has experienced so much from his previous life to this life. Aunt Xue's cheating is just like showing off one's proficiency in front of him!
The doctor had been trying to save the patient for a long time but to no avail. Just as he was wondering if his medical skills had regressed, Pei Shaorong spoke.
"Doctor, please move aside. I know a little about first aid. You can't do this. Today I will teach you how to perform first aid. It's artificial respiration!"
"What? What is artificial respiration?" The doctor looked confused.
"…It's mouth-to-mouth breathing!" Before Pei Shaorong could say anything, Mo Lanzhu next to him added a sentence inexplicably.
As soon as these words fell, the doctor and the surrounding villagers were all in a state of “…”. If they really gave her artificial respiration today, Aunt Xue would lose her dignity in her later years…
"..." Xue Tieshi, the son of Aunt Xue, couldn't help but change his expression even though he was angry at his mother's ignorance.
He looked at Pei Shaorong and wanted to speak, but was pulled back by Brother Lin beside him. He turned around and saw his mother's fingers moving, which was obviously angry...
Unable to help but hold his forehead, Xue Tieshi realized that his mother was pretending, and immediately blushed and lowered his head, ready to carry her home. If he continued and was exposed, the Xue family would be disgraced!
But today, Aunt Xue was stubborn and didn't appreciate it at all. When she found out Xue Tieshi was going to take her back, she suddenly became angry and had a seizure. She pushed Xue Tieshi away and rolled directly in front of Pei Shaorong and fainted again...
Pei Shaorong looked at the old woman with amusement, then showed a helpless expression to Xue Tieshi, took out a tael of silver from his arms and yelled.
"Whoever is willing to do artificial respiration for this old woman today, I will give him one tael of silver plus ten kilograms of grain as labor wages!"
When Pei Shaorong said this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then an old man with a mouth full of yellow teeth ran up and said, "Pei family, I'll do artificial respiration for her!"
Money talks, and with ten kilograms of grain, the old man Chen from the village was tempted. In fact, he had some small thoughts. When he was young, he coveted Aunt Xue's beauty, but Aunt Xue looked down on him. He was the one she hated the most in her life...
Seeing Old Man Chen coming out, Pei Shaorong nodded, then stared at Aunt Xue lying on the ground with a sinister smile.
"A Bao, go get Uncle Chen two leek pancakes to eat and then give Aunt Xue artificial respiration!"
If leeks don’t work, try garlic. I’ll see if you can still pretend…
When Pei Shaorong said this, the surrounding villagers fell into a daze, Xue Tieshi's face twitched, and Lin Ge'er stared at his mother-in-law and couldn't help laughing.
Aunt Xue, who was lying on the ground, finally couldn't pretend anymore and woke up faintly. If she continued pretending, she would really be kissed by old man Chen who had eaten leeks. She might as well just hit her head against a wall and die!
"Mr. Pei, you... you bastard, if you don't give my Hua'er an explanation today, I will die at your doorstep!"
"..." Seeing that Aunt Xue was still pretending and making the matter ambiguous, as if he had done something to offend Xue Huaer, Pei Shaorong was speechless.
Xue Huaer next to him also had a look of grief and heartbreak. Pei Shaorong felt completely confused and was about to speak when Sun Yaocai, who had been pretending to be a hero, spoke before him.
"Mr. Pei, although this matter has nothing to do with me, I just can't stand it anymore. As a man, why do you have to force an old lady and a weak girl? As a man, you should take responsibility for the mistakes you make!" Sun Yaocai supported Xue Huaer and stood up for her.
"The government office in the town is still open. You are so disrespectful to an old woman and have ruined her reputation. According to the laws of Dali, you will be caned when you go to the government office. If you bully me again, I will not be polite. We will meet at the government office..."
After Sun Yaocai finished his flowery words, Pei Shaorong couldn't help but bulge out the veins on his forehead.
Damn, this scholar was chopping electric wires with a kitchen knife, and there were sparks and lightning all the way - his brain must have short-circuited!
"You're still not polite? Sun Yaocai, is there something wrong with your brain? Which eye of yours saw me do anything wrong? Since you know this matter has nothing to do with you, don't force yourself to get involved! Defamation will also be prosecuted!"
Pei Shaorong continued, "I say, Mr. Sun, why are you so protective of this girl from the Xue family? Are you attracted to her, or are you two having an affair? Can't bear to see your lover being wronged?"
Pei Shaorong was too lazy to reason with Sun Yaocai in a flowery way. To deal with such a thin-skinned person, he had to use some foul language and he was guaranteed to win in minutes!
Sure enough, Sun Yaocai's face immediately turned red with anger, and he angrily said, "Mr. Pei, please be careful with your words. The daughter of the Xue family and I have never met before. Don't slander me, or you will be punished..."
Aunt Xue, who had just taken a breath, was also shocked. She immediately yelled at him, "Mr. Pei, you bastard who deserves to be struck by lightning. I curse you to have no son in your life! I curse you..."
"ah--"
Before Aunt Xue finished her curse, Pei Shaorong finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to slap Aunt Xue in the face.
Then he turned around and kicked Sun Yaocai to the ground, pulled out the dagger he carried with him, and sneered at Sun Yaocai's face, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a good person..."
“………”Sun Yaocai’s face was pale, he was shivering and unable to speak. There were water stains on the fabric of his lower body clothes, and a strong smell of urine filled the air.
Pei Shaorong looked at his lower body, slapped his face with a dagger, and said sarcastically, "I thought you were so powerful that you dared to stand out, but it turns out you only have this little bit of backbone..."
