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 helped her mother out slowly, and said with a light laugh, "Now is the perfect time. In front of the whole village, the Yu family gave a gift of money and said they would send three turns and one ring, so there's no room for regret."
Otherwise, we can sue them for hooliganism and see who's afraid of whom!
Well, although I don't really care about this Yu family, Yu Jingyuan was someone you schemed against me to get him, and my head is badly injured. I might faint from time to time in the future, so I can't do any heavy work.
I left 190 yuan for my cousin to buy things, and the rest was for my nutrition expenses.
The three turns and one sound, along with a little over a hundred yuan, were given to my five older brothers, one for each of them to use for getting married, as compensation for my lost wages over three years.
From now on, let's consider this matter closed, okay?
The old lady nodded repeatedly: "I think this is a good idea. In the end, it's still the eighth girl who benefits."
There's a man driving a truck, how much money do you have?
The second wife was stunned for a moment, then became furious.
Ke Er's wife shook her head angrily and said, "Seventh girl, aren't you alright?"
In the countryside, which girl or boy doesn't get bumped and bruised at times?
You're asking for all the dowry the moment you open your mouth!
Have you ever thought about what kind of life your cousin will lead after marrying into the Yu family?
Besides, why should I?
Suddenly, Ke Enshu grabbed her mother and looked directly at Ke Meiyu, "Cousin, if I don't want any of these betrothal gifts, I'll give them all to you."
"Is this really over? You won't mention it again?"
"Naturally, I'm a pragmatic person. If a problem can be solved with money, I won't waste my breath talking!"
Ke Meiyu smiled and nodded in agreement.
"However, from now on, I'll walk my sunny path, and you'll walk your narrow bridge. You're not allowed to have any more designs on me or my family!"
Compared to the original owner's hatred, she would rather see her family living peacefully and happily, right?
Besides, I've always been quite lucky.
“Alright, words are no proof, let’s put it in writing,” Ke Enshu said, having been reborn, she was willing to spend the money for peace of mind.
After all, Yu Jingyuan was once her cousin-in-law, so he has great potential for the future!
This dowry of less than a thousand yuan may seem like a lot, but it's nothing in the future. It can be used as compensation for my cousin, and it can give me a rich life. Why not?
The agreement was drafted by the eldest son, who is currently in junior high school, with the old man as a witness, and signed by Ke Meiyu and Ke Enshu.
The old man couldn't help but add, "Eighth girl, you're too soft-hearted. Be more clever when you get to the Yu family, and do things openly."
Also, a woman needs to have her own child to rely on!
"If you've been wronged, go home. You're a daughter of the Ke family; your uncles, brothers, and nephews will seek justice for you."
“Grandpa, I know what I'm doing,” Ke Enshu nodded, but she didn't think much of the old man's attempt to appeal to family ties at this moment.
After receiving the money, Ke Meiyu kept thirty yuan for herself and gave the remaining one hundred and fifty yuan to the old lady.
The old lady happily accepted it, saying, "Grandma will save it for your dowry!"
After Ke Meiyu's first family meeting ended, the old lady and Ke's mother busied themselves making noodles for her, drizzling sesame oil on top, adding a handful of fresh green scallions, a crispy fried egg, three cloves of sweet and sour garlic, and a spoonful of pickled cucumber.
The children in the yard were craving it so much, they just kept sniffing and didn't dare to look away.
Even a one-year-old baby was drooling, squinting contentedly as they sipped the noodle soup.
Ke Meiyu hadn't felt anything at first, but as soon as she smelled the food, her stomach started rumbling.
Ignoring the heat, she picked up the bowl and ate heartily. The fragrant and chewy noodles paired with the side dishes were truly blissful!
After eating and drinking her fill, a wave of drowsiness washed over her, and she covered her mouth as she yawned.
The old lady smiled and took the bowl outside, telling her to get a good night's sleep, "Grandma will make you some fried pancakes tonight!"
Ke Meiyu nodded repeatedly, her sweet little mouth opening to say, "Milk is the best, I love milk the most!"
The old lady was overjoyed to see her so sleepy she could barely open her eyes, and still groggily patting her own horse.
Once everyone left, Ke Meiyu relaxed completely, slumped onto the bed, and stared blankly at the yellowed, patched mosquito net, as all sorts of suppressed emotions surged up.
She comes from the 10th year of the last century, which is also the year 3033 in the Gregorian calendar.
In that era, human civilization was nearly destroyed by a meteorite impact!
Various water and electrical circuits were destroyed, satellites were derailed from their original orbits and became uncontrollable due to changes in the magnetic field, world order was in chaos, and even more deadly was the rapid spread of the "zombie virus" in living bodies. In just one month, the global population of tens of billions was reduced to 30% of its original size.
People worked together to overcome difficulties and established security bases in various places.
The ten years of the apocalypse may seem short, but every day is an ordeal. The air and water contain a large number of interstellar microorganisms, which are very harmful to the human body and must be filtered.
Food became extremely scarce, and everything was grown hydroponically indoors, which was only supplied to high-ranking officials.
Ordinary people can only eat compressed biscuits or drink concentrated, sour nutritional supplements.
However, Ke Meiyu didn't suffer much. As the canary of the base, while others worked hard and were covered in dirt in exchange for a biscuit, she could still eat steak and drink red wine in a glamorous way.
The man had an intense possessive desire for her, wanting to keep her as a constant companion, and even expecting her to learn to be a virtuous wife and mother, and even hoping that she would take good care of her husband and children!
This obsessive liking suffocated her.
Her love-hate entanglement with the powerful figure was too deep, involving two prestigious families behind them.
Ke Meiyu couldn't tell how much genuine affection existed between the two of them, so when the zombie horde arrived, she resolutely shielded him from the zombie king's fatal blow.
At this moment, the image of the man holding her, his grief-stricken expression, and his screams still vividly appeared in her mind!
Ke Meiyu gently touched her half-empty heart, her lips curving into a smile tinged with sadness and relief.
"Ying Yan, we're even!"
When Ke Meiyu woke up, she felt much better all over, and even the pain from the wound on the back of her head was much less!
With a sudden thought, she threw off the covers and got out of bed. In a flash, she reached the curtains, turned around, and easily leaped back onto the bed!
Ke Meiyu's fair and bright face showed surprise, and then she cleared her mind and closed her eyes to perceive her surroundings.
She could hear every subtle movement within a 20-meter radius.
It was already dark, and the village still had no electricity. The villagers drank some thin porridge made from wild vegetables and mixed grains, chatted idly, and did some work in the dark.
The men wove bamboo baskets and straw sandals, while the women washed clothes and sewed shoe soles.
The rustling of bamboo strips and straw, the rustling of clothes being wrung out, the scraping of cotton shoes against the soles, the sound of autumn wind rustling through fallen leaves, the light, gliding sound of a night owl leaping over the courtyard wall...
The unique scents of autumn in the countryside drifted gently into her nostrils through the wooden window!
Her superpower came along with it!
