"After all, I was too naive."
"I thought ordinary people worked from sunrise to sunset, lived in harmony with their families, and had filial children and grandchildren. There weren't so many twists and turns."
“But after experiencing it myself, I realized how naive I was!”
This small mountain village is still considered good. There are poorer and more backward mountain villages that she has not seen yet.
In some places, they can't even get enough food to eat. Do you think they don't work? No, they hardly have a day off in 365 days.
But they just couldn't have enough food to eat, and they couldn't afford to buy a new piece of clothing all year round. Even in the middle of winter, they still had to wear heavy clothes full of patches.
After experiencing the life of ordinary people, Jiang Qingzhi returned to the imperial city and went into the palace to tell the emperor everything he had seen and heard outside the palace.
"Father, could you please reduce the people's taxes? You don't know how hard they're living. They've worked so hard..."
The emperor was in a dilemma! He also wanted the people to live a prosperous and healthy life, but he couldn't do it.
In fact, the current emperor is already a very benevolent monarch. Under his rule, the lives of the people in Fengyin Kingdom have improved a lot.
Bai Zhiheng looked at Lin Wange who was eating with resentment in his eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Humph, you're such a heartless person! You actually abandoned your husband and children. Aren't you worried that your husband can't live without you?"
Oh my god, when did you become so cheesy?
"Well, my sister-in-law is my only friend. If she wants to go out for a trip, I must go with her."
Bai Zhiheng sat next to her, looking a little unreasonable.
"I don't care. You have to accompany me on a trip. And this time it's just the two of us. No third person is allowed."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, right?"
"More or less."
Bai Zhiheng smiled with satisfaction and went to prepare his luggage.
"Father, are you going on a long journey?"
"Oh, isn't there some business in Los Angeles? I'll take your mother there to look after the business."
Bai Zinuo had an expression that said, "Father, just tell the truth. Your son already knows it."
"Father, you don't want to go out with Mom alone and are afraid that your son will follow you, right? Where are you going? I'll pack my bags and go with you."
"Get lost, you stinky boy!"
"You're almost going to be a father, but you're still pestering your parents. Go have some fun."
Bai Zinuo laughed heartily.
"Father, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Yingying and I are going out to escort the convoy. You want me to go with you, but I don't have time yet."
Bai Zhiheng pretended to kick him lightly.
"Get away from me, I don't want to see you."
The couple packed their luggage and took only Qiuju and her husband with them. They went wherever they wanted and rested there when it got dark.
"Madam, you treat me so well. I never thought that I could travel around the mountains and rivers so carefree when I am old."
"She's not old. She's in her thirties, in the prime of her life. Our Qiuju is still so young and beautiful."
"Oh, ma'am, you just like to tease me."
Lin Wange looked at the villagers busy at the foot of the mountain and sighed helplessly.
He looked at the people around him with resentful eyes.
"Hey! I just accompanied my sister-in-law out to experience the life of ordinary people."
"I didn't expect you to want to experience this as well. If I had known you'd like it, I would have waited for you to come along."
Bai Zhiheng took her hand and said softly:
"Compared to the bustling and noisy Imperial City, I actually want to live with you in this rural village."
Well, actually I also like living in a small village in the countryside, of course the prerequisite is that I have a lot of money and don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
Obviously, she was the one with a fortune and no worries about food and clothing, so she lived a very comfortable life in this countryside.
The couple simply settled down here and didn't return to the imperial city. Every year, their children and grandchildren would come here to visit them.
Sometimes they would stay here for a while, and even their daughters in the palace would leave their children here.
My little niece and grandson might have been bored in the palace, so they had a lot of fun when they arrived in the countryside. Even when people from the palace came to pick them up, they made a fuss and refused to go back.
The couple sat hand in hand under the tree to enjoy the cool breeze and watched their grandchildren playing and laughing in the yard.
They lived a simple and happy life. There were no quarrels or misunderstandings between the couple. They supported each other, respected each other, and took care of the family along the way.
Now that they have children and grandchildren, what else is there to regret in life? For them, there is no such thing.
