In the Apocalypse, Ke Meiyu was a “canary” kept by the big shot Ying Yan.
She resented the big shot’s domineering, indifferent, and ruthless nature, yet yearned for the freedom of an or...
Ke Meiyu opened her eyes and sneered. If she wasn't mistaken, the treasure she had taken from the mountain was what Ke Enshu was looking for.
The original text is vague about this matter, only saying that before getting married, Ko Eun-sook went to the back mountain every day to take better care of her parents, and then she had a stroke of luck and found a treasure, and also accidentally triggered the spiritual spring space.
But now it seems that all of Ko Eun-sook's actions clearly point to one thing.
That means Ko Eun-sook is using her rebirth to steal the original owner's luck!
For example, she stole the original owner's fiancé who might become a big shot in the future; or she came to search the original owner's place when she couldn't find the treasure.
Unfortunately, the reborn Ko Eun-sook encountered the reborn lucky koi fish.
Ke Meiyu sat up, propped her chin on her hand, and thought for a moment. The allure of treasure to reborn individuals was simply too great. Ke Enshu hadn't found it this time, so perhaps she had a backup plan.
No matter what it is, Ke Meiyu is not afraid. At worst, she will deal with whatever comes her way!
The roe deer hunted from the back mountain were very plump, each weighing sixty or seventy pounds. Ke Meiyu casually picked one up and quietly tossed it into the old lady's room before going back to her own room to sleep.
In the Ke family compound, there were five stoves. Before the family split up, Ke Meiyu only ate one person's portion per meal, but now she can eat at both the old lady's and her own family's. Two portions are only half full, and with some snacks and fruit, she secretly adds some extra food to barely satisfy her hunger.
After eating breakfast for two people, Ke Meiyu took the little dumpling's hand and, escorted by her second brother, trudged towards the town.
Before they even left the village, Ke Meiyu suddenly tugged at her second brother's sleeve and said with a smile, "Second brother, you don't need to see me off. I'll go with Tuanzi on the bicycle!"
Ke Erge was taken aback and looked around. Where did this bicycle come from?
Before he could react, his sister pushed him behind a tree.
Ke Meiyu, dragging Tuanzi along, jogged all the way and successfully intercepted Qin Yuanjiu, who was riding a bicycle, in the middle of the road.
"What a coincidence, Comrade Qin! Are you also going to the city?" Ke Meiyu asked with a smile.
She was exceptionally beautiful, and now she smiled sweetly and obediently. Even though Qin Yuanjiu disliked this woman who was constantly pestering him, he had to admit that Ke Meiyu was a rare beauty, making it hard for anyone to truly feel disgust towards her.
His lowered eyes were filled with a storm, and he spoke coldly: "Get out of the way!"
“Comrade Qin, I’m with the group… I’m going to the police station in town with young Lu Yuehai. You’re an old acquaintance of his uncle, so you should lend a hand, right?” Ke Meiyu said with a light laugh, her brows unfurrowed.
"I'll speak for you," Qin Yuanjiu said without lifting his eyelids.
"Oh, no need. Lu Yuehai and I have nothing to do, so I'll just go for peace of mind. Maybe he can even talk to his parents and uncles." Ke Meiyu waved her hands repeatedly. Today, she was determined to sit in the back seat of the big villain!
Therefore, Ke Meiyu kept praying in her heart:
Heavens above! Earth below! This humble woman has no choice but to submit to the system and conquer the cold-hearted villain for the sake of her life. But this world is unkind to women; she'll have to get married sooner or later anyway, so she might as well form a family with the villain.
Anyway, all men are equally wicked, and even her childhood sweetheart was just someone she played with.
Moreover, as long as it's not a powerful man who controls even the color and style of her underwear, she can accept it!
She genuinely wanted to live a good life and enjoy the world's delicious food again!
"Comrade Qin, I'm entrusting this to you," Ke Meiyu said, clasping her hands together with a hint of flattery.
Her voice was soft and sweet, both delicate and charming, making it hard for anyone to resist.
Qin Yuanjiu suddenly raised his head, stared at her fiercely, his tongue pressed against his back teeth, and sneered: "Seventh Sister Ke, is that it? You're so desperate for men that you can't move when you see one and have to cling to him?"
Ke Meiyu glared at him, gritted her teeth, covered Lu Yuehai's ears, and said directly, "I'm already eighteen years old. At that age, you could have two kids following you around in the village."
"After the marriage with the Yu family fell through, my mother kept urging me to marry. I didn't want to just marry someone I'd only met a couple of times. So, Comrade Qin would be a better fit."
"Besides, I don't treat every man like this. It's just you. Who told me to save you and you to save me? We've been through thick and thin together. Why are we being so formal?"
Qin Yuanjiu stared at her for a long time with a gloomy face. "Comrade Ke, I advise you not to provoke me."
Ke Meiyu's eyes lit up. "So what if I messed with you? Will you marry me?"
She spoke excitedly, stretching out her hands and starting to gesticulate, "Look, I'm beautiful, you'll be so proud to take me out. I have five very capable older brothers, no one in the village will dare to bully you, let alone trick you into fishing and kill you. After I get married, I will also try my best to be your good wife, and together we'll make our lives prosperous and happy!"
The little boy heard clearly now and said with a smile, "Uncle Qin, the sister is really beautiful. You saved me, so you choose first. If you don't marry the sister, I'll marry her when I grow up!"
Ke Meiyu gently tapped him, "Adults are talking, children shouldn't interrupt."
Qin Yuanjiu's hands, gripping the handlebars, bulged with veins. "Seventh Sister Ke, marriage is no child's play. It's a matter of a lifetime for the couple and their two families. Have you thought it through?"
“Of course, I’m eighteen, not eight. I know very well what I’m doing and saying.” Ke Meiyu nodded heavily, feeling that there was hope in the matter, and continued, “Comrade Qin, I’m serious. You’re good-looking and knowledgeable. Although you’ve been sent to the cowshed, many people know that you can’t be kept here.”
“I know I’m a country girl. Apart from being pretty and being pampered at home, you don’t like anything about me.”
"However, I promise that after we get married, we will live a good life together. As long as you don't betray me, I will never leave you!"
Qin Yuanjiu said with a half-smile, "Are you sure? You won't regret it?"
Ke Meiyu gritted her teeth; Heaven's will and the system wouldn't allow her to regret it!
She's thought a lot these past few days. She values her life; there are so many delicious and fun things in the world. She's also given up on the vague notion of love. What difference does it make who she chooses?
"I'm sure, and I won't regret it!"
If I can survive for ten years under the thumb of a big shot, can't I at least live a lifetime in this peaceful era?
Qin Yuanjiu nodded, "Okay, then let's go get the certificate and pick it up in town."
Ke Meiyu was stunned for a moment, blinking her eyes in disbelief. It was that simple?
Why did she get the feeling that he was even more eager than she was?
"What, scared? Or is it just a passing fancy, and you're not willing to do it when you're actually in front of it?" Qin Yuanjiu said casually, one hand on the bicycle and the other in his pocket, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
