She already had a considerable influence among these five men.

"Meizi...you...are you pregnant?" Boss Sun was the first to voice everyone's question.

After hearing this, Zhang Mei was first taken aback, her face filled with disbelief. Then she slowly said, "I...I don't know either. I've just felt nauseous and want to vomit for the past few days...I don't know if I ate something poisonous...I don't want to trouble you."

Look! Look! How profound and righteous these words are!

Sun Laosan was the first to lose his composure. "How is that possible! You've always eaten the same things as us! And pumpkins aren't poisonous at all."

Brother, she's pregnant!

Zhang Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Then she nodded shyly.

High, really high!

She got to play this role. She's incredibly talented.

From then on, the Sun brothers took even better care of Zhang Mei. Not only did they prevent her from doing any heavy or strenuous work, but they also went hunting in the mountains.

Even though they only caught a few birds, they all ended up in Zhang Mei's stomach. Even her son, several men turned a blind eye and kept him as a pet.

Even if I do some chores every day, I still make sure he gets some food.

The man from back then has long since decayed and become infested with maggots at the foot of the mountain.

...

"Xiao Si, go to the vegetable garden and pick some greens, and also some tomatoes and peppers. The chicks have laid eggs, so we'll have scrambled eggs with tomatoes for lunch."

"Sure. But where did you get the oil?"

"Yesterday I went to Feng Ran's house, and she gave me some lard. Oh, right, Qi Xie said the pig can be slaughtered. He's planning to slaughter one first. He also said everyone should help, and the pig will be divided among everyone."

"We can raise the piglets that the wild boar is about to give birth to." Wang Nana chattered on and on, her smile never fading.

"Okay! I'll go ask about it later."

"Um."

Previously, Qi Xie raised all the pigs and sheep.

So far, two lambs have been born. Feng Ran didn't want them and gave one to each of the Wang and Gu families.

The sow is pregnant again.

This time, Qi Xie asked everyone to slaughter a sow first. Each family would get a small share. More would be distributed later. These were all caught together before.

The date was set for the next day, and everyone began to eat the "pig-killing feast".

They even used pig's blood, turning it into a spicy hot pot with vermicelli.

Each family received a small portion of the pork. The lard rendered from the pork fat was also divided equally.

Despite several families saying no, Qi Xie insisted on giving it to them.

Then the pig's head and internal organs were braised together.

I must say, everyone's skills are getting better and better.

"Envious?" Qi Xie, who was sitting at the table eating a pig's blood vermicelli hot pot, was stunned by Li Luo's question. Then she replied disdainfully, "Aren't you?" After saying that, she looked at Bai Lian and the other person next to her.

Li Luo rolled her eyes. She continued eating her rice noodles.

There's just no way to talk to this guy.

A few months later, Fengjiu and Fengmu grew even whiter and healthier. The two little ones smiled at everyone they saw. They were incredibly cute. Even Gu Ping'an liked to come over and play with the two children.

Feng Ran spends her days tending to her flowers and plants in the yard, and also looking after her two children.

...

Who are you?!

Gu Zhou had just finished lunch and stepped out of his house when he saw several men acting suspiciously as they wandered around the village.

"Oh, hello. My family just moved here. We're looking for a place to live."

The speaker was none other than Sun Laosan.

Five men, with a woman and a teenager.

Gu Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you from this village?"

"No. But my wife's ex-husband was..."

Now her husband is dead. We're back too. We'll find some land to farm and settle down here.

"As long as I can live a good life, that's enough."

I don't want to see any petty theft or other dishonest behavior. Otherwise…

Gu Zhou casually crushed a pebble that he had somehow gotten his hands on.

Old Master Sun narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scene.

"That's right. I thought so too."

It would be best if everyone could live their own lives peacefully.

If I encounter any petty theft, I won't let it go either.

After the two expressed their feelings to each other, Gu Zhou said "Do as you please" and went straight to Feng Ran's house.

Although the woman and child had been washed clean, Gu Zhou knew they were the same women who had returned to the village with another man earlier.

And this man just said that this woman's ex-husband was from this village.

That's pretty much it.

Are you sure?

After listening to Gu Zhou's words, Feng Ran replied.

"Yes, that's true. I just don't know why this woman suddenly changed husbands and brought five men back saying she wanted to settle down."

"Never mind that for now. Tell San San to be careful. Also, when you go up the mountain to chop firewood, it's best to leave the men at home."

Let's observe first. If it's malicious... we should just deal with it directly. Otherwise, the constant disturbances are making people anxious.

"Okay. I'll go and talk to San San and Qi Xie."

"Um."

...

"Meizi, is this your old home?" Sun Laosan asked, looking at the collapsed mound of earth.

"Um."

Zhang Mei answered weakly.

"I just turned around, and there are only a few houses in the center of the village that are still okay, but they are all occupied."

"Brother, are we staying next to those people, or at the beginning or end of the village?"

"...We just came from the left. There are two nice houses there. They're behind the village, and the fields in front of them aren't cultivated yet. Let's stay there."

besides!

Don't blame me for not warning you.

That guy was no ordinary person. Don't go and cause me any trouble.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died!

There are six men in our family now. If we work hard at farming, we can definitely survive and even raise Meizi's unborn child.

I will remind you again and again in this apocalypse: you must not eat people!

They survived by eating mud, twigs, and dead rats.

Now is not the time for any of you to hold me back!

"I know, big brother. How many times have you said that!"

"Yes, big brother!"

"OK."

"good."

"And you, you little brat, you better behave yourself. Meizi, you keep a close eye on your son. If he dares to cause trouble, I won't care if someone else kills him!"

"Okay! Okay! I'll keep an eye on things. Don't worry, big brother."

"Um."

"Brother, what should we plant? We don't have any seeds."

"We've already planted them. If it doesn't work, we'll borrow some!"

"Would they lend us the money...?" Old Sun didn't believe they would. These days, everyone's grain is precious...

"I know, the women living in that house have lots of delicious food! And they all seem to listen to her!"

The woman's son quickly revealed what he thought were the secrets he knew.

"How did you know?" Sun Laosan asked.

"I've been inside. The kitchen had lots of delicious food. The yard was full of people talking!"

"Big brother?"

Several men looked at Boss Sun, as if waiting for his answer.

After a moment's thought, Old Sun replied, "Let's go and tidy up the house first. Let's find a place to live."

Then we'll deal with the seed issue.

"That……"
