Chapter 2: It feels like I'm having a Hongmen Banquet
"Shut up!" Mrs. Zhang San roared and interrupted Shang Ruoting.
Although this matter is not a secret in the village, more than ten years have passed and no one has mentioned it anymore.
Now, this damn bitch Shang Ruoting is bringing up all sorts of issues and even exposing her shortcomings.
While Mrs. Zhang San was interrupting Shang Ruoting, her skinny hands reached out to grab her face.
Shang Ruoting instinctively dodged and was about to fight back, but she saw that Zhang Sansao's wrist was firmly grasped by Tan Chen.
"Mrs. Zhang San, Shang Ruoting is right. You did this, and it fits the description of a fickle person."
"Besides, it's only the first day that Shang Ruoting and I are married. How do you know she's a fickle woman?"
At this time, the onlookers also spoke.
"What Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting said makes sense..."
"Yes, although Shang Ruoting chased Qiao Yuan all over the village before, that was before they got married. It was only the first day of their marriage, and she called him a fickle person. It's really not kind of her to say that."
Mrs. Zhang San saw that the public's opinions were leaning towards Shang Ruoting again. Although she was unwilling, she had no way to refute it.
Shang Ruoting was feeling damp and uncomfortable. Today, she would stop gossiping about her. If anyone dared to say anything bad about her again, she would punch them...
She pulled up Tan Chen who was protecting him and said, "Let's go... home."
Tan Chen released his grip on Mrs. Zhang San's hand and let Shang Ruoting pull him away.
Zou Meihua and Tan Kai walked behind the two of them with gloomy faces.
The onlookers also followed behind them.
When they arrived at the Tan family, Shang Ruoting directly took Tan Chen back to their new home.
When I opened the door, what came into view was a dark and narrow room.
Facing the door, against the wall, was a broken wooden bed. On the wall behind the bed, was a large red wedding character.
In the middle of the room there was a worn round table and two chairs.
On the round table, there is a red thermos, an enamel teacup printed with quotations from great men, and an oil lamp.
On the ground on the west side of the room were two half-new cowhide boxes.
This is all the furnishings in the room.
Shang Ruoting was forced to marry Zhang Lanxiang and did not bring anything with her.
There was no change of clothes.
The weather was still a bit cold. Shang Ruoting had been walking all the way in wet clothes and was now shivering from the cold.
It would be great if her space was still there. That space was obtained by Shang Ruoting by chance in her previous life.
There is a magical spring that can promote the growth of plants and animals, a large piece of land, and a not-so-big hot spring.
I really want to go to the space and take a comfortable hot spring bath...
Just as the idea formed in her mind, Shang Ruoting disappeared from the spot.
It turned out that what she said in her heart, "I really want to go to the space", was her way of entering the space, which also meant that her space had followed her.
It’s a good thing that the space has followed her, but she just disappeared suddenly. She doesn’t know how to explain it if someone finds her after she goes out?
Shang Ruoting didn't bother to check the space, and immediately slipped away, appearing again at the place where she had just disappeared.
She glanced around guiltily. Tan Chen was still standing there, and there was nothing unusual. At this moment, she was somewhat glad that Tan Chen couldn't see, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain her sudden disappearance and appearance.
Shang Ruoting patted her chest and let out a sigh.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and was not discovered.
Now that the space has come with her, she feels more confident living here.
Not only did she grow all kinds of grains, fruits and vegetables in her space, she also stockpiled a lot of daily necessities. She could live a well-fed and well-clothed life here without having to earn work points.
Tan Chen felt that she was shivering from the cold on the way.
"If you don't mind, there are my clothes in the first suitcase. You can change into them first."
There are many clothes from her previous life in Shang Ruoting's space, but those
If she wore this style here, she would have no way of explaining its origin, so she gave up the idea.
"Thanks."
After answering Tan Chen, she opened the box he mentioned.
Although there were only old clothes inside, they were folded very neatly and had a pleasant soapberry scent.
Shang Ruoting picked and chose, and took out a white shirt and a pair of army green trousers.
As for underwear, she was still used to wearing those in her space.
Shang Ruoting bolted the door, took out a set of underwear and a set of thermal clothes from the space, and sat on the bed to change clothes. Anyway, Tan Chen couldn't see it.
After changing their clothes, they sat in the room in silence until dark.
Not knowing what Tan Chen was thinking, Shang Ruoting was always immersed in her own thoughts.
She had read many time-travel novels, but had never heard of anyone being able to go back after traveling through time.
So, she gave up the idea of wearing it back.
Since she can't go back, how will she live here in the future?
Divorce Tan Chen and return to uncle's house?
This is impossible. The original owner was a thorn in her aunt's side. She wouldn't have a good life if she went back. She would probably have to fight wits and courage with her every day.
Leaving Sihe Village?
It seems even worse...
Identity cards were not yet implemented in this era, and one had to get a letter of introduction from Murakami to go out.
If she left rashly, how could Murakami give her a letter of introduction?
It seems that she can only stay with Tan Chen temporarily for now.
As for what will happen in the future, we can only take it one step at a time.
She had just planned her future when the door was pushed open.
Zou Meihua walked in.
Shang Ruoting looked at her coming in without even knocking, and felt a little displeased for a moment.
However, since she had just arrived, she managed to hold back from getting angry and sat there quietly, wanting to see why she came.
Not long after, Tan Mingshan came in with a bowl of cornmeal porridge, and Tan Kai came in with a plate of stir-fried cabbage and some cornmeal pancakes.
In order to make it easier for Tan Chen to eat, Tan Kai was very attentive and moved the table to the bedside.
Shang Ruoting looked at Zou Meihua and Tan Kai, who were smiling but not really smiling, and felt like she was attending a Hongmen Banquet.
As the old saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Even though she could see that Zou Meihua had bad intentions, Shang Ruoting did not expose her immediately. After all, she had been here for most of the day, so she needed to fill her stomach first.
This was her first meal here. Although she was so hungry that her stomach ached, she didn't eat much. These things were simply hard to swallow for Shang Ruoting, who was used to eating delicious food in her previous life.
Except for him, the Tan family members were eating very happily. Shang Ruoting put down her chopsticks and planned to secretly take something to eat from the space later.
After dinner, Zou Meihua showed no intention of leaving.
"Tan Chen! Look, you're married now, and the house isn't big enough for us to live in. And then we have to arrange Tan Kai's wedding. Mom will make the decision today. Let's split up the family!"
Tan Chen didn't take it seriously, his lifeless eyes staring straight ahead.
"Okay, if Mom says to split up, then let's do it!"
Tan Mingshan, who was standing by, became a little anxious after hearing this.
"Tan Chen just got married and his eyesight is not good. How will he live after he separates?"
