Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Love at first sight vs. Love at first sight
Qin Suyun traveled through time before her wedding. At that time, the Pei family had found Pei Ying. Her original self had been engaged to Pei Ying when she was a child. If Pei Ying had not come back, the two families would have tacitly assumed that Pei Jing and her original self were in love. However, Pei Ying came back, and the person her original self would have married would have been Pei Ying. However, she was attracted to Pei Jing.
She revealed her true feelings, but the elders of the Qin and Pei families each had their own reasons for not letting her marry Pei Jing. She threatened to commit suicide, but she accidentally died. When she woke up, it was Qin Suyun, who had the same name and surname.
In the original book, because of this death, Qin Suyun's parents begged Pei's father and mother. Due to the many years of friendship between the two families, they finally agreed to Qin Suyun and made Qin Suyun and Pei Jing together.
The two of them loved each other and lived a comfortable life for a long time. Unfortunately, Pei Ying's life experience was exposed. The butcher she looked down upon before suddenly became the prince of a marquisate. She hated Pei Ying. If Pei Ying had not come back, both the Pei and Qin families would have tacitly agreed to her marriage with Pei Jing. But Pei Ying came back, which made her lose face and became a laughing stock.
Qin Suyun in the book always thought that she and Pei Jing could be superior to Pei Ying, the butcher, for the rest of their lives. She never thought that one day their status would be reversed, and they would have to bow and greet Pei Ying and others when they saw them. The injustice and resentment in her heart led her to do many stupid things in the book. In Pei Jing's eyes, these things made her regret marrying him. The couple quarreled constantly, and Qin Suyun was eventually killed because she poisoned the heroine but accidentally killed the marquis's wife.
When Qin Suyun came here, her marriage had already been arranged with Pei Jing, and the wedding date was very close, and she would get married in a few days.
What is different from the book is that Pei Ying left early. In the original book, Pei Ying also left home, but the people of the Pei family stopped him and brought him back, but this time they didn't find him.
The two elders of the Pei family asked many people to look for Pei Ying everywhere, but there was no sign of him. No one expected that Pei Ying would come to Yizhou.
In the original book, Pei Ying did not leave and lived in the Pei family for a long time until the marquis' wife became seriously ill. However, she missed her son who had stayed in Guangling in earlier years and came to look for him. They found Pei Ying and that is when everyone went to Yizhou.
When Qin Suyun came here, the government was asking everyone to move south. The Pei family was unwilling to move, but Qin Suyun thought about the future development of Yizhou, so she hinted to Pei Jing. Pei Jing persuaded the two elders of the Pei family. These were all inside stories. From the outside, it seemed that the government forced them to move, so they came to Yizhou.
When she arrived in Yizhou and met Lin Chuntao, Qin Suyun felt that the trip was worth it.
What no one expected was that the male protagonist Pei Ying of the original book came to Yizhou and married Lin Chuntao. Can the plot of the original book still go on?
And it seems that Lin Chuntao and Pei Ying have a good relationship, it feels like this is all a mess.
When Qin Suyunhe said they were forced to move here by the government, Pei Ying frowned slightly. He then asked, "They don't know I'm here yet, right?"
Qin Suyun: "I don't know."
Pei Ying said, "Then please pretend you've never seen me, Madam Qin."
Qin Suyun said: "That's no problem."
Qin Suyun agreed very readily. She didn't care about the male protagonist at all. She didn't want to talk to Pei Ying about the Pei family's affairs. She only wanted to talk to Lin Chuntao.
Lin Chuntao noticed Qin Suyun's anxiety and pushed Pei Ying: "Let me have a few sisterly words with Suyun."
Looking at Lin Chuntao's eyes and thinking about Qin Suyun's promise not to tell the Pei family, he left.
Lin Chuntao watched Pei Ying walk away and asked Qin Suyun anxiously, "Pei Ying, is he the villain in the book?"
Qin Suyun looked at Lin Chuntao and smiled: "You don't remember what I said that day. My role is a bit of cannon fodder. I married the male protagonist's brother."
Lin Chuntao hissed coldly, her eyebrows knitted into a knot.
"Ah... this, so Pei Ying is the male lead?"
Qin Suyun nodded solemnly: "That's right!"
"But I remember you said that the hero in the book ended up with a chieftain's daughter, and my name didn't even appear in the book!"
"Yes!"
"That's why I rushed back to tell you."
Lin Chuntao thought about what happened last night. She smiled and sighed, "Don't worry. It's too late anyway. Let's just pretend we don't know about it."
After hearing what Lin Chuntao said, Qin Suyun relaxed a lot. Although she and Lin Chuntao had a natural closeness, they had not been together for long after all, and she did not know Lin Chuntao's character very well. She was also afraid that after Lin Chuntao knew about this, she would think that Pei Ying would end up with other women in the book, so she had some ideas or something. So she said it earlier and had plans long ago.
But unexpectedly, Lin Chuntao didn't care at all.
"I almost didn't sleep last night, just worrying about what would happen if you knew and were unhappy."
Lin Chuntao smiled and said, "That's nothing. According to the plot in the book, the hero and the heroine haven't met yet, right?"
Qin Suyun nodded.
Lin Chuntao waved her hand. "Then there's even less need to worry. Don't worry too much, don't borrow money, and don't waste money. We'll continue to live the same way as before."
After the two of them finished talking about this, they chatted for a while. Pei Ying went for a walk in the backyard. When he came back, the two of them had not finished talking yet. Moreover, when he left, the two of them were sitting face to face with a long distance between them. At this time, the two of them squeezed together, and they didn't know what they were talking about. They laughed so hard that they fell forward and backward, and were extremely happy.
He stood in the yard for a long time without being noticed by either of them.
For so many days, Lin Chuntao has no close friends of the same age as her. She gets along well with the old ladies in the village, but not as well as she does with Qin Suyun.
The two of them are of similar age and seem to be very close and can talk about anything. They would lean on each other's shoulders and whisper in each other's ears whenever they heard anything.
Lin Chuntao and he had never been like this before!!
The more he looked at Pei Ying, the deeper his frown grew. He had heard of the name Qin Suyun. They were good friends when they were young, and when she grew up, she was willing to commit suicide in order to marry Pei Jing.
Pei Ying was thinking, and the two of them talked about something, but Lin Chuntao pulled Qin Suyun and trotted towards the bedroom.
Qin Suyun followed her to the outer room, and Lin Chuntao entered the bedroom. She exchanged a bottle of small umbrella from the system.
The packaging was a green porcelain bottle that looked very simple and ancient. Lin Chuntao did not tell Qin Suyun about the system, so when Qin Suyun opened the bottle and saw what it was, her eyes widened.
"I...!! Where did you get it?" Qin Suyun exclaimed. Lin Chuntao smiled and said, "It's a secret. If you run out, tell me. If I still have some, I'll share it with you."
Qin Suyun looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, my good sister."
"You don't know how worried I am. I've bought something here, but it's so hard to use."
Lin Chuntao smiled, and the two of them walked out of the house hand in hand. They happened to see Pei Ying in the yard. Qin Suyun quickly put the bottle into her sleeve and whispered to Lin Chuntao, "I think he's very upset with me. I'm going back today. I'll come see you another day when I'm free. Come see me when you're free."
Lin Chuntao said, "I'm going to be busy picking corn soon."
Qin Suyun smiled and said, "Call me, I'll help you break it."
"Then wait for my letter."
Lin Chuntao sent Qin Suyun away and came back. Pei Ying was waiting for her at the gate.
"Gone?" Pei Ying asked.
Lin Chuntao smiled and said, "Well, let's go back.
Qin Suyun hid the bottle quickly just now, but Pei Ying still saw it. The bottle was very similar to the bottle Lin Chuntao threw to him last night. He didn't know where it came from, but since they were using it in their room, outsiders wouldn't know, so they just hid it.
But if you give this thing to someone, won't they ask where it came from? Unless that person also knows where it came from, so they won't ask.
But when did Lin Chuntao become Qin Suyun's close friend? She actually trusted Qin Suyun so much.
"You and this Madam Qin..." Pei Ying paused when the words came to his lips. Lin Chuntao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him, waiting for the next words.
"What did you guys talk about? You were laughing so happily."
Lin Chuntao said, "It's just some things between girls. She told me that you had a childhood engagement?"
Pei Ying's expression changed slightly, and then he said seriously: "It was just a joke between our parents. I was lost when I was very young. She and Pei Jing were in love with each other. We have no relationship at all."
Lin Chuntao smiled: "That's what she said too."
Pei Ying then asked, "You two have known each other for a short time, right? I sense that you trust her a lot."
Lin Chuntao understood what Pei Ying meant and smiled.
"We hit it off right away," said Lin Chuntao.
Pei Ying felt a little sour in his heart, and as if his mouth was out of control, he asked casually, "What about me?"
Lin Chuntao was stunned when she heard this. She put her index finger on her chin and looked at Pei Ying in shock. Pei Ying came to his senses and realized that he had said what was in his heart, and his face turned red instantly, but since he had asked, he gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Chuntao, trying to make himself feel more justified.
Lin Chuntao looked him up and down and said jokingly, "Are you jealous of her?"
Pei Ying: "What does this have to do with jealousy?"
Lin Chuntao said, "I smell a hint of sourness."
Pei Ying was really a little jealous. He could feel that Lin Chuntao liked him very much, but it seemed that it was only physical. She had never called him husband, nor had she talked about love and joy. Even the intimacy between them was not as good as when they were with Qin Suyun.
Seeing Pei Ying fall silent, Lin Chuntao smiled and said, "I fell in love with her at first sight. How about you?" She paused for a moment, as if on purpose. Pei Ying's heart was in suspense. She laughed heartily and said, "Of course it was love at first sight."
She didn't say it formally, more like a joke, but Pei Ying's heart was still beating like a drum, as if it was going to jump out of his throat.
He didn't bother to verify whether it was true, but heard Lin Chuntao say, "When Grandma took me there, there were so many people, and I saw you in the corner at first sight."
"At the time, my grandmother said you looked a little scary and she was worried that you wouldn't be able to get along with me, but there was nothing I could do. I fell in love with you at first sight."
Lin Chuntao was talking nonsense, and Pei Ying's lips slowly rose, and an uncontrollable smile leaked out from the corner of his eyes.
"real?"
Lin Chuntao said, "Of course it's true. How can it be faked?"
Pei Ying thought about the time when he gave Lin Chuntao some silver and she confiscated it. He felt bad at that time, but when Lin Chuntao ran into him coming back from taking a shower that night, he finally got a little taste of her nature.
Whether it was love at first sight or love developed over time, as long as she had feelings for him now, that was enough.
The afternoon sun was a bit strong, and many families in the village were drying soybeans.
Lin Chuntao and Pei Ying said, "I haven't been to the fields for a few days. I don't know if the bean sprouts have turned yellow yet. If they do, we can pick the beans now."
"How about we go and take a look now?"
As she spoke, she pulled Pei Ying to leave, but Pei Ying pulled her back: "It's too hot now, let's go later."
As he said that, he pulled Lin Chuntao into the house.
Before they sat down, they heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away. They looked at each other and asked, "The tax collectors are here?"
Pei Ying hissed, "It shouldn't be this early, let's go check it out?"
Lin Chuntao nodded, and the two of them left the yard.
Their house was not far from the road to the village, so the two of them didn't go near the roadside. Instead, they walked to the corner of the courtyard wall and looked out. They saw two or three people looking at Luosha, knocking and shouting, "To celebrate this year's good harvest, Master Zheng has decided to rent cattle cheaper for next spring planting. Anyone interested in renting cattle for next spring planting can sign a contract in advance, and the price will be 30% cheaper than this year! This discount is only available to those who sign the contract before the winter month. After the winter month, the discount will be gone."
After shouting like this a few times, many villagers gathered around. Lin Chuntao clicked her tongue, thinking that everyone was required to pay in advance, which was the same as signing up for a gym membership.
But after paying this money, will we really be able to use the cow next year? Even if we can use it, will we be told to wait? Will we have to wait in line? Spring planting is a rush, so if we have to wait until the season is over, will we still need the cow?
Pei Ying asked, "What's so kind about this guy?"
Lin Chuntao said, "How many kindhearted people are there in the world? They're looking at the autumn harvest and taking advantage of everyone's surplus grain to trick everyone into handing over their grain. Even if we can't use the oxen for next spring planting, what else can we do?"
Pei Ying frowned.
These people walked around the village. The villagers were still a little confused, but they understood that paying grain and renting cattle now would be cheaper than renting them next year.
Moreover, this year Lin Chuntao rented cows to do the farming, and so much land was planted in just a few days, which was indeed much faster.
A curious villager came forward to ask about the rent. The other party said that the rent was 48 cents a day at the beginning of this year, but if the contract is signed now, it will be 35 cents a day.
It is thirteen cents cheaper for one day, and thirty-nine cents for three days.
This is indeed a lot cheaper.
Everyone was worried. After a brief promotion, the people left, leaving the villagers to discuss the matter. They also began to calculate how many days it would take to rent a cow on their land, how much it would cost, and how much cheaper it would be.
Some people were a little more rational and began to persuade us: "The grain harvest hasn't come yet. We have to wait and see what the grain prices are like."
