Chapter 181 Jinjiang Exclusive
Just as the audience guessed, the Zhang family was in turmoil almost every day after the Zhang Gui incident.
A small quarrel every three days is considered minor. Others have a small quarrel in the morning, a big quarrel at noon, and there is no peace in the night.
But even though things got so bad, Li Yuaner never went to the village chief to say that she wanted to divorce Zhang Gui.
Just as she said when she first started making a fuss, she no longer has any family from her mother's side, and her only support is her husband's family.
Li Yuaner is not the kind of person who is very independent and can make up her mind to live alone as a daughter, and her son is still young.
If she divorced, she would inevitably worry that Zhang Gui would marry a new wife in the future and treat Zhang Xiaochuan as a thorn in his side.
What's more, in ancient times, few women would actually think of divorce because of a little quarrel.
No matter how much trouble we have, we still have to keep living our lives.
Perhaps it was because she knew she had no choice that Li Yuaner couldn't bear it and had to make a big fuss.
In the past, Zhang Gui and his wife could not be said to be very loving, but at least they lived in harmony.
Zhang Gui had not even been much tempted by Su Ying before, perhaps because he knew that Su Ying was just looking for a sucker.
But now, after making a mistake and eating something secretly, I was trapped in endless blame and disdain for a long time.
It was not until more than half a year later that Li Yuaner's endless quarrels finally wore away the Zhang family bit by bit. Zhang Gui felt guilty about her. The submissive Zhang Gui could no longer bear it and stood up to resist. He began to look at Li Yuaner coldly and use cold violence against her.
Some female relatives who had a good relationship with Li Yuaner couldn't stand it and privately advised her to just divorce and set up a daughter-in-law household, but they were scolded away by Li Yuaner.
The latter realized that continuing to make trouble would only make his life miserable for the rest of his life, so he reconciled with Zhang Gui as before.
Not only did she stop mentioning infidelity, but she soon gave birth to a son for Zhang Gui, and life seemed to have returned to its original harmony.
But this is the result that will come much later.
At that moment, the Zhang family was still in chaos.
At first, the neighbors would watch and see what was happening, but after a few times, they realized that there would be no new developments, so they became too lazy to watch anymore.
It’s not just the Zhang family that’s having fun, the others’ are also very nice.
For example, those who saw the growing number of people trying to please Lu Miaomiao finally realized that Lu Miaomiao was not a living person.
At first they actually didn't believe it.
So naturally it was time for Lu Miaomiao to perform again.
But it was so uncreative to open one's head all the time. Lu Miaomiao listened to Lu Xuan's advice and changed her routine. She broke her fingers in front of her admirer, breaking them off one by one, and finally letting both hands drop.
The visual impact of the fingers and wrists falling all over the floor was so great that several admirers fainted on the spot, and the others were so scared that they ran away.
Later, when they met by chance on the road, the men turned around and ran away, fearing that they would chop off their heads if Lu Miaomiao said something to them.
Lu Miaomiao said: If you want to watch it, you can consider it.
"Hahahahahaha—" Zhang Chengming and others who were watching the whole thing clapped their thighs and burst into laughter: "Look at how angry they are!"
"I knew they would be scared away!"
"These cowards, they were so brave before, hurling insults at each other and being jealous of each other, but now they're running faster than rabbits."
The young and strong men who were laughing at Lu Miaomiao had obviously forgotten that on the day Lu Miaomiao first appeared, when Lu Qing was showing off in the village with her, their legs went weak when they saw Lu Miaomiao performing her head-lifting stunt.
…
In stark contrast to the unfortunate experiences of Lu Miaomiao's admirers, Wu Yang finally had his day when all the hard work paid off.
Although his chance to make further progress was interrupted last time, what he said to Li Yue still had the desired effect.
After all, the most secret thoughts in your heart have been revealed, so what else is there to worry about?
When he saw a woman expressing her affection for Wu Yang again, Li Yue no longer pretended to be indifferent but chose to take the initiative. In the busy processing shed, he wiped the sweat off Wu Yang who was helping to clean the fish and fed him with hot water, showing with practical actions the fact that they had a "good relationship".
Wu Yang was also very pleased with this, and he asked her while the iron was hot: "When should I propose marriage?"
Wu Yang asked this question in public on purpose, and the woman who was interested in him was also there.
Li Yue's face was a little hot, but he pretended to be calm and said, "The New Year is coming soon, let's wait until after the New Year."
Wu Yang curled his lips, "Okay."
In order to avoid any further complications, Wu Yang told his father about going to the Li family to propose marriage after the New Year, and asked his father to tell the village chief so that both families would be aware of the matter.
In this way, even if the two are not really engaged, everyone in the village and outside the village knows that they are in a relationship, and no one will say anything when they are close to each other.
Chen Rong felt so sad when he saw his former brother and his sweetheart hanging out together all day long.
On the way back from winter fishing, Chen Rong sat on the back seat of the sled and sighed, "When will I be able to live a good life like this?"
Liu Chun, who was standing next to him, said speechlessly, "If you also want to get married, just shout to the female workers' tent. There will definitely be someone willing to marry you."
Chen Rong curled his lips, "I won't marry just anyone. I have someone in my heart."
Zhang Chengming, who was driving in the front, said loudly, "You have to be patient if you want to marry Mr. Ji. She comes from a much better family than us. She's been taught different things since elementary school. She's still breastfeeding her husband's child. There's no way she's going to remarry anytime soon."
If it had happened before the disaster, she would have been criticized for remarrying just a few months after giving birth to her deceased husband's child.
Ji Xiuling did not reject Chen Rong harshly, which was already a good way to show her feelings.
Chen Rong opened his mouth. This was something he had not considered before.
After all, during the rainy season, Ji Xiuling had said that there was no need for a formal relationship and that she could just... cough.
But if you think about it carefully, he is going to spend his whole life with her, so he should really consider Ji Xiuling more from her perspective.
"However, you still have to show your affection." Liu Chun reminded him, "There are many female workers trying to curry favor with Aunt Chen recently. If Mr. Ji misunderstands that you've married someone else, it will be even harder for you to win her heart."
Chen Rong's expression changed, and the idea of waiting for a year that had just occurred to him was immediately suppressed. He said with a serious face, "Then I'd better go find her to get engaged first. At worst, I can wait until she completes the one-year mourning period before marrying her. That should be fine, right?"
When a husband dies, a daughter-in-law is supposed to observe mourning for three years.
But after all, this is a period of catastrophe, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the previous red tape.
Just wait for a year until the child is weaned, and that's enough.
Liu Chun jokingly said, "You speak as if Mr. Ji will definitely agree if you propose marriage."
Chen Rong's face froze for a moment, and then he blurted out, "If you don't agree, I'll just take her home!"
At this time, the group had returned to the village, got off the car and walked to the processing shed with the fish.
As soon as Chen Rong finished speaking, he found Ji Xiuling, who had just finished class, walking over. He had just said something that she had heard clearly.
Chen Rong: “!”
The young men in the hunting team, eager to unleash chaos, shouted at Ji Xiuling, "Mr. Ji, Chen Rong wants to take you home. What do you say?"
After more than a month of teaching, Ji Xiuling was no longer as reserved as when she was first rescued. She did not look angry or embarrassed after being teased, but just glared at Chen Rong.
How could he know that she wouldn't agree when he hadn't even tried to propose?
After the last unpleasant parting, Chen Rong never expressed anything openly. Even if she figured it out later, did she, a woman, really have to take the initiative?
Chen Rong looked at Ji Xiuling who glanced at him and turned away, and felt numb all over as if he had been electrocuted.
He couldn't help but pull the person next to him to confirm: "Was she shy just now? She didn't get angry when I said this, so it means she agrees, right?"
Everyone was speechless.
shy?
Which eye saw it? How come they didn’t notice it?
However, Mr. Ji's reaction did not seem to be disgust.
Several young men looked at each other and sighed secretly.
In addition to Chen Rong, there are actually several men in the village who have a good impression of Mr. Ji.
It’s just that Chen Rong saved the other person’s life, so he really needs to have the upper hand to take action.
Now it seems that Mr. Ji is also interested in Chen Rong, and others may have no chance at all.
In fact, Chen Rong doesn't care about other people's feedback.
He concluded that his judgment was correct, and casually gave the space ring containing the fish to the others, "You take it to the village chief, I will discuss the marriage proposal with my mother!"
Liu Chun was helpless, "Is it really that urgent?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he thought about Ji Xiuling's conditions and felt that it was reasonable to be anxious.
Inside the processing shed.
The aunts who were busy collecting the fish also saw the scene and joked with Ji Xiuling, "Is Mr. Ji going to become a member of the Chen family in the future?"
Ji Xiuling's ears turned red and she didn't say anything.
The aunts probably guessed her concerns and counseled her: "It's not easy for us women to live a good life. When there is a choice, just make it boldly and don't think too much."
"That's right, the opinions of others are not as important as your own life."
"People outside can barely make a living now. They're all busy taking care of themselves, and no one cares about other people's affairs."
Ji Xiuling thought about her life before she met Yunlu Village, smiled with relief, and nodded, "I understand."
She had lived a law-abiding life for the first half of her life, but in the end she almost ended up with two deaths.
We should not live our lives always for the opinions and gossips of others.
It's time for her to follow her heart for once in the rest of her life.

In the private school's special training room.
A group of little rascals were besieging several of the Huo family's personal soldiers.
The younger ones were responsible for diverting the coach's attention, while the older ones, Li Miao, Lin Man, Zhang Dafu, Lu Chen, and Mei Xue, served as the main attackers and were scattered in different directions to launch attacks.
Even though the oldest of them is only thirteen years old, they are just as strong as an adult.
Some time ago, Lu Xuan underwent ultra-long and intensive special training using vampire vines, and his reaction ability has been greatly improved.
Facing the Huo family army with practical combat experience, they fought back and forth for a while, which was quite interesting to watch.
On the first day when the personal soldiers were invited to give the little devils a practical lesson, they almost suffered a small loss due to negligence. After learning from the lesson, they dared not take these little devils lightly anymore and would give at least 60% to 70% of their effort during training.
The same is true today.
The two sides fought for a long time until all the kids were exhausted and could only lie on the ground gasping for breath, and the practical class was declared over.
The guards secretly adjusted their breathing, pretending to be calm on the surface. They looked at the little ghosts on the ground and teased, "You still have a lot of practice."
After a period of training, Xiong Dabao, whose figure was finally not so round, said unconvincedly: "If Chenchen had used his supernatural power, we wouldn't have lost so easily."
As he said this, he winked at Lu Chen.
Come on, show the coaches some power!
The other children also looked at Lu Chen expectantly.
Lu Chen sighed in embarrassment, then quickly threw his gravity ability at several coaches.
The bodyguards felt their bodies suddenly become heavy, and one of them stumbled and almost fell down without any preparation.
Zhang Dafu's eyes lit up, but then he thought about his special ability which could only help one or two ginger and garlic plants grow and couldn't be used on humans, so he shook his head and sighed like a little adult.
Mei Xue also felt a little regretful.
Her special ability is poison. Brother Lu Xuan said that if it is controlled well, it can not only kill people with poison, but also paralyze the whole body or cause severe pain.
It's a pity that her control ability is still too poor now. Every time she attacks, she uses poison that can kill people. Otherwise, it would definitely be very useful to restrain the enemy.
The soldiers gritted their teeth and held on, scolding Lu Chen with a smile, "What did your brother say? You are not allowed to use your superpowers. Hurry up and put them away, or we will complain."
Lu Chen chuckled twice and didn't dare to bother the coaches anymore. He retracted his special powers and quickly offered a large pile of snacks before the coaches came to deal with him.
"Coaches, you've worked hard. Come have some dried meat and crispy fish, as well as pork jerky, dried persimmons, and preserved fruits."
He not only gave it to the coaches, but also shared it with other classmates who had consumed a lot of energy and were a little hungry.
Soon, the kids stopped arguing with their coach and gathered together, each picking their favorite snacks and starting to eat them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
The dried meat and crispy fish were quite dry, so Li Kangbao and Zhang Dafu took the initiative to share juice and milk tea with others.
The bodyguards looked on with envy and jealousy.
These kids are so rich.
Not only can you eat as much snacks as you want, but everyone also has a space ring!
Several of them were holding a bunch of snacks that Lu Chen had stuffed into their hands.
After accepting Lu Chen's "bribe", the few people couldn't deal with him anymore. They looked at each other and started eating silently.
Their living conditions are a little better now, but they are not yet rich enough to buy a bunch of snacks that are high in ingredients and expensive.
The Lu family’s snacks taste the best among all other families.
Whether it is beef jerky, pork jerky or crispy fish, many precious spices are used in them. They are not only delicious but also very filling.
Several people ate and chatted.
Personal Soldier A: "I heard that Lu Chen's immortal skills are not very high at the moment, and his level is limited. Boss Lu can use higher-level abilities, but I wonder what will happen if he uses gravity to crush us."
The name "Boss Lu" was changed by them later.
Given the help Lu Xuan had provided them, it would inevitably seem disrespectful if they followed the general and called him "Brother Lu."
Everyone thought that the other party opened a grocery store, so they simply called him Boss Lu. Lu Xuan didn't correct him when he heard it.
Soldier B twitched his lips and said, "You know what will happen if you add several times or even dozens of times the weight in your own country?" Being crushed on the spot is the least of the problem.
Personal Soldier C: "Lu Chen is still young after all, and can't compare to Boss Lu, but if he really uses his magic in battle, he will have a huge advantage."
B: "The other people in Yunlu Village who know magic are not bad either. They have people who can control gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice."
Soldier A sighed, "That's great! I wish I could have such a special ability. My requirements are not high. I would be satisfied if I could just increase my speed or strength."
The others looked at him sideways and said, "You wish."
Even if it is to enhance speed or strength, that is a magical skill. Can ordinary people like them possess it just by saying so?
It is said that the villagers paid a considerable price to obtain the magic.
The villagers didn’t say how much, but it was definitely not something they could afford.
The personal guards didn't really expect to obtain magical skills, so after expressing their feelings for a few moments, they quickly changed the subject.
"I heard that during the monthly exam, the top-ranked brats received a lot of food as rewards. The total amount was more than what we earned from our hard-earned winter fishing catch."
"I always heard people say that people with good education have a bright future, but I didn't expect it to be the same even after the disaster."
"That's only true in Yunlu Village. Outside, a scholar who can't lift anything is useless. Haven't you heard that a scholar is useless?"
"But the courses taught in Yunlu Village are very practical. I used to get a headache from all the nonsense in academies, but I can understand everything taught here!"
Others nodded in agreement.
After becoming coaches, they are also allowed to attend classes as auditors.
In just a few days, he not only learned a lot of words, but also understood simple arithmetic.
The natural science class that explained the origin of the world opened their eyes;
The first aid knowledge taught by Boss Lu himself in the survival class, which even Doctor Lin in the village was fascinated by, made them surprised, excited, and beat their chests and stamp their feet.
If they had known these things when they were fighting before, perhaps those comrades who were seriously injured could have saved their lives!
It was too late when they encountered Yunlu Village!
But on second thought, if the disaster had not occurred, Yunlu Village might not have taught these contents in the private school.
Thinking of this, the guards could only sigh.
·
One and a half months into the extreme cold season, the temperature is minus 45 degrees Celsius and there is heavy snow.
The end of the year is approaching. After being busy for half a month and earning a lot of supplies, the victims of the Huo family army finally leave and prepare to go back to spend a reunion with their surviving relatives.
The village was also busy preparing for the New Year.
They do a thorough cleaning, make various fried foods for the New Year, go to the grocery store to buy New Year's goods, carve the ancestors' rankings in preparation for ancestor worship, and the women in the family specially wear brightly colored clothes.
The whole village was filled with a festive atmosphere.
On New Year's Eve, Lu Xuan took the initiative to let the audience make requests, and according to their wishes, he worked with his family to prepare dozens of dishes.
Any dish that Lu Xuan has and has cooked at home before will have a place in the evening.
First, there are all kinds of hard dishes made with chicken, duck, fish, beef, mutton, pig, deer, seafood and river fresh, braised, sweet and sour, honey-glazed, steamed, fried, everything is available;
There are also various stir-fries, stews, cold dishes, and braised dishes;
The staple food includes rice, noodles, and various kinds of buns and dumplings, fried rice, bibimbap, sauerkraut noodles, beef noodles, scallion oil noodles, mushroom sauce noodles, hot and sour noodles...
There is also a huge fruit plate made up of different kinds of mutant fruits, a glass of monkey wine per person and unlimited fruit wine.
Because some viewers took the initiative to go to Xingbo to promote the New Year celebrations in their dimension, when all the dishes were served, the number of people online in Lu Xuan's live broadcast room also reached a historical peak.
The barrage of comments filling the screen and the special effects of throwing gifts are so dazzling that it is impossible to keep up.
The extravagant New Year’s Eve dinner that exceeded the standard made everyone inside and outside the live broadcast room extremely satisfied.
After dinner, Lu Xuan dug out the electronic fireworks he had won from a silver blind box and set them off outside.
The colorful fireworks bloomed in the snowy night sky for a full half hour, and the villagers who had never seen it before were amazed and surprised.
Miao Jinfeng exclaimed in admiration: "This is so beautiful!"
Li Tie also sighed: "I have lived half my life and never thought I would be able to see such beautiful fireworks."
Zhang Wende said, "I heard that people in the city set off fireworks during festivals. I wonder which one looks better than this."
Mr. Zhang immediately said, "Ah Xuan's fireworks are definitely more beautiful. After all, these are the fireworks of immortals. How can mortals compare to them?"
The others nodded in agreement, "Exactly!"
More importantly, during the disaster period, they were able to stay up together and watch the fireworks without missing a single one. This kind of perfection is so rare.
In addition to them, the Huo family army, which was not too far away, also saw the sky full of flowers blooming in the distance.
The victims gathered in a warm floor-heated room, holding New Year's Eve dinner filled with fish, meat and vegetables in their hands, and watched for a long time with tears in their eyes.
…
And for the audience, the carnival has just begun.
Late at night, Lu Xuan took advantage of the surge in traffic in the live broadcast room to hold a lucky draw and gave away 100,000 New Year gifts in one go.
The gifts included grains, vegetables, fruits, various by-products, fresh fish, fish soup, genetic evolution liquid... In short, all the things that had been won before were won.
In addition, many items drawn from blind boxes and items purchased from the mall that can be used by Star Alliance citizens are included in the prize list.
The audience was overwhelmed by the huge surprise and almost went crazy with joy.
[The host is really bleeding a lot today! ]
【Happy New Year! 】
[I beg the anchor to celebrate Chinese New Year every day from now on! ]
[Are you trying to bankrupt the anchor? ]
[You don’t have to focus on just the Spring Festival. In fact, there are many other ancient festivals, such as the Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine’s Day, Ghost Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival…]
【??? Greedy or are you greedy?】
[Forget about other festivals, but are we serious about the Ghost Festival?]
It is impossible to give out gifts like this every time, but with the recycling function, winter fishing has started again, and Lu Xuan has indeed earned points much faster recently.
It's not impossible to draw more prizes during the next festival, but...
Lu Xuan: "I will try my best to send you some useful things, but whether you can get them depends on your luck."
Live broadcast room audience:!!!
It’s Chinese New Year, why are you saying such heartbreaking things!
One hundred thousand places may sound like a lot, but when you draw one hundred thousand out of hundreds of millions of people, the success rate is still quite impressive.
Even though the audience looked as excited as if they had won a prize, only those who were crying behind the scenes knew who was crying.
However, such a big move and the enthusiastic response from the audience brought Lu Xuan huge rewards.
The number of online followers increased by over 100 million in a single day, the number of fans increased by over 50 million, and gift points were collected in large quantities.
Taking into account the increase in fish catches and raffles from the previous few times, as well as the income from gifts, Lu Xuan's total data before going off the air had reached 900 million online, 250 million fans, and a balance of 300 million points.
…
New Year's Day.
Lu Xuan took Lu Chen to the village chief's house early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings to the Zhang family, and Lu Chen received a lot of red envelopes.
Normally, people have no place to spend money, but in the county town, every family has some cash in hand, which is just right for giving out red envelopes during the New Year.
Afterwards, other people also took turns to come to the Lu family to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone was busy coming and going for the whole morning.
During this period, Lu Xuan also sent a lot of holiday gifts to the Huo family army. The gifts were not expensive, just some fried food, cakes and drinks.
I hired female workers to make pastries when I was catching fish. I found out that there was a family that ran a pastry shop, so I commissioned her out.
That afternoon, Huo Tiankuo personally came to the Lu family to wish Lu Xuan a happy new year. He also mentioned a topic that he had hesitated for many days and finally decided to test the waters.
About genetic evolution fluid.
