“There are many people like this, and we may encounter such people in our marriages in the future. We just need to protect ourselves and prevent our property from being harmed. As for men, you can’t control them, so we shouldn’t interfere in their affairs. If he makes a mistake, we’ll find the next one. As long as we keep a positive attitude, we won’t get hurt. Many women who are abandoned by men are so upset that they feel like they can’t go on living. On the contrary, I think life is happier without the interference of men.”
Anyway, Wenxi wasn't worried at all. If Qin Mi cheated on her with someone else, she would let them be together. She wouldn't make a scene or threaten suicide to make others look down on her.
Isn't it wonderful to use this time to make money and enjoy life?
After being repeatedly "brainwashed" by Wen Xi, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue now have a very Zen-like attitude towards relationships. They are now rich and confident, and are not afraid of being abandoned or hurt by others.
With such good qualities, are they afraid of not meeting a better man?
The three of them swam in the water for a while, then found a place to change into clean clothes and left.
More and more people know about this place, even Xu Mengying, who doesn't work, knows. It's clear that this secret can't be kept anymore and has to be made public.
The next morning, while everyone was in the watermelon field, after finishing her lesson with the girls, Wenxi called over a few of the older employees. "I called you all here today because we're planning to go swimming in a stream in the valley tomorrow. Anyone want to come along?"
Everyone eagerly raised their hands to go, since there wasn't much to do in the village. They were also hesitant to go down into the river bend behind the village because it was too deep.
Wenxi told the ten people who came to learn how to grow watermelons to go in batches. Five would go tomorrow, leaving five people to watch over the watermelon field, and the remaining five would go together next time.
"Then everyone, meet outside my house at six o'clock tomorrow morning. Once we're all here, we'll head straight there." We'll leave around six o'clock, get there in two or three hours, arriving around nine o'clock. Then we can play for a few hours and come back in the afternoon.
Since they were to set off for the waterfall early the next morning, Wenxi started packing the things she would need for the picnic after she got back. She prepared the seasonings and food, and since they could also hunt and catch fish on the mountain, she only needed to bring these things.
Wenxi packed her things and went next door to inform Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui that their home was here. Even if they went to university in the future, they would still have to return to their hometown. She told them about this place so that they could have a place to escape the summer heat.
The next morning, after everyone arrived, they carried their prepared items and headed up the mountain in a grand procession. The morning breeze felt cool and refreshing on their skin.
Everyone chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lin Yiwan came to Wen Xi's side and asked curiously, "Xiao Xi, why did you suddenly decide to make this place public?"
Wen Xi said helplessly, "Xue Qiujun and Gu Huai'an both know about this place. It has become a public place."
Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Xue Qiujun? She's only been here a short time. How would she know about this place?"
"Maybe it was just a fluke, just like me back then. Didn't I also stumble upon it by chance?" Wen Xi shrugged helplessly, and then told Lin Yiwan what she had seen that day.
Lin Yiwan never expected that Xue Qiujun would be so blatant as to steal someone else's partner. Xu Mengying and the child were there, but Xue Qiujun completely ignored their presence and went to find Gu Huai'an. She really didn't know what these women were thinking.
Now that so many people know about this place, there are really no secrets left. In the future, everyone will know about this place, and anyone can come here.
After walking for a long time, everyone finally arrived at the waterfall. Those who had never been here before were captivated by the scenery.
Green mountains, clear waters...
It's so beautiful.
They all started yelling like gorillas.
After everyone had their fill, they found a place to spread out blankets and prepare a picnic area. Then some gathered firewood, others went hunting, leaving only a few girls at the picnic spot.
"Let's go catch fish and crabs!" Wenxi said to everyone, picking up her basket.
Afterwards, everyone went to the stream. Wenxi picked up a few stones, soaked them in fish sedative, and then threw them in several places. After a while, she saw fish, shrimp, and crabs float to the surface. Wenxi, wearing sandals, went into the water and started grabbing fish into her basket.
Qian Aiyun asked worriedly, "Sister Wen, are these fish really safe to eat?"
“Did you forget when we caught fish in the river bend? The fish in the river bend are the same; they just need to be left for a while,” Wenxi said.
Qian Aiyun recalled the time she caught fish in the river bend. The fish floated to the surface due to lack of oxygen, but they came back to life after a while. So, the fish here today were naturally edible. After that, everyone felt at ease and started catching fish and crabs. They could take the leftovers home to eat.
However, there are more than ten of them today, so they should be able to finish all the food. There's unlikely to be any leftovers.
Wenxi gathered all the fish and crabs that everyone had caught together and then took them down to the waterfall to process them, so that everyone could continue catching more.
Wenxi scaled and gutted the fish, then marinated them with seasonings at the picnic area, covered them, and then went to the waterfall to scrub the large crabs.
The crabs were still not fully awake, making them very easy to clean. There was no need to worry about being pinched by them. After cleaning the crabs, Wenxi went back to cook them.
Put the crabs into the pot, add scallions, ginger, and garlic, pour in a lidful of cooking wine, then cover the pot and start cooking the crabs.
The fire was lit with thick wood, and there were no weeds or fallen leaves around, so there was no need to worry about it starting a fire or running out of firewood. So Wenxi sat to the side and watched the lively scene of everyone catching fish.
Thinking that she would be leaving this place in a few months, she suddenly felt a strong sense of reluctance. Although this place had not brought her any good experiences in her previous life, many things had happened here in this life that she could not forget.
Twenty minutes later, the crabs were ready to eat, and Wenxi called out, "Qian Aiyun, you all wash your hands and come up to eat the crabs. After you finish eating the crabs, go catch some more."
Anyway, the effective time is one hour, so you can catch some more later, no need to worry.
And she can go to other places and throw a few more stones, which will give her another hour to catch them!
After everyone washed their hands, the five girls didn't know how to eat crabs, or if they ate them the way they used to, they would easily eat the inedible parts. So Wenxi taught them a new way to eat crabs.
