Li Jun had spent almost all of her remaining money in the past month. Fortunately, the farm had no shortage of rice, flour, or other food. If she were at home, she would have worried that she would not have anything to eat.
Tang Baozhu asked him if he needed any help.
Unfortunately, I was rejected.
Li Jun felt that as a grown man, he could overcome any difficulty by persevering. If he encountered any problem and asked his fiancée for help instead of finding a solution, he would never achieve anything great in the future, or rather, he would never accomplish anything great because he had never encountered any difficulties.
Fortunately, the most difficult month has passed, and the farm will soon start to see profits.
Tang Baozhu had been staying at the estate for a month, and it was about time for her to go back. After all, the two of them were not yet married, and it felt a bit inappropriate to stay any longer.
In modern times, living with the man's family or cohabiting might not be a problem, but in ancient times, it was unacceptable; people would be particularly harsh on women.
When Tang Baozhu wanted to go back, Li Jun was very reluctant, but he agreed. He would never refuse his sister Baozhu, and he would agree to whatever she wanted to do.
After being away for a month, when I returned home, I could clearly feel that the house was devoid of human presence, covered in a thick layer of dust.
If you haven't been home for a year, the house might look particularly dilapidated. It seems that no matter what the house looks like, it still needs people living in it and a sense of life.
The following days were as peaceful as ever. I stayed at home for two months and finished embroidering the piece.
She carefully put away the remaining 50 taels of silver and did not continue to collect embroidery, intending to rest for a while.
The rent from the rented-out fields has been collected. We kept enough for three people to eat for a whole year, and sold the rest.
Although it wasn't a lot of money, it was still several dozen taels of silver, which was a nice bonus.
After Li Jun's crops were harvested and sold, he had some money. The first thing he did was buy Tang Baozhu a large gold bracelet.
Perhaps because the first bracelet she picked out was a very thick one, they assumed she liked heavy ones and brought back a large, thick gold bracelet.
This left Tang Baozhu unable to say she didn't like it, since she had already chosen one last time, so she could only express her happiness and accept it.
The happier Tang Baozhu was, the more Li Jun felt that although his fiancée's taste wasn't great, she had firmly adhered to this habit: whenever she had a little spare money, she would buy her a gold bracelet.
During the first year of her mourning period, Li Jun bought her four gold bracelets, each one more substantial than the last.
It was because he raised more and more chickens and ducks, and sold the eggs, that he was able to earn more and more money, which allowed him to buy her so many things.
Tang Baozhu would never tell him not to buy something, because if you said no, he might never bother to prepare a gift for you again.
Although the gift may not be exactly what I wanted, it is still a token of Li Jun's goodwill, and I cannot let it down.
After a year of mourning, Tang Baozhu was happiest because she could finally eat meat. Although she didn't usually like eating meat, not being able to eat it for a year made her crave it.
Chunxue and Qingliu also followed Tang Baozhu and were cooped up for a whole year, unable to eat meat. But it wasn't too bad for them, since they might not even get to eat meat once a year at home.
Whether they eat or not makes no difference to them, but it would be better if they could eat.
After the mourning period ended, Li Jun became increasingly blatant in coming to our house. He practically ate all three meals a day there, except when he went to the village.
I only go back to sleep at night.
The two got along better and better. There might not have been a passionate love, but there was a genuine affection between them that remained simple and genuine.
It can only be said that for an old monster like Tang Baozhu who has lived for hundreds of years, having simple and genuine feelings is already quite good. She is not a young person, so where would she find any passionate love?
When Tang Baozhu was almost two years into her mourning period, the pretty boy Li Fugui finally married that woman. He even sent an invitation home, but Tang Baozhu didn't go, using the excuse of mourning. Instead, she sent Chunxue to deliver the gift and then returned home.
Then, on their wedding night, they summoned the five puppets back and went straight to their house to cause trouble, killing the pretty boy and the woman. The pretty boy's family was also beaten up, and almost everyone suffered injuries of varying degrees. Each of them needed at least half a month to recover.
This was a major incident in the village. A report was filed with the county government, but the officials searched the village for a long time without finding anything, and the matter was eventually dropped.
Tang Baozhu wasn't worried about being found out at all. With such powerful cultivation, how could the puppet be discovered so easily?
It's unlikely that anyone will even encounter them. Even if you do, you might think they've just passed by. Don't doubt it, the puppets are that fast.
After the pretty boy Li Fugui and that woman died, Tang Baozhu could clearly feel a sudden sense of relief coming over her body.
This made Tang Baozhu suspect that her father, the scholar, had been watching her all along, since she hadn't forgotten what happened before his burial.
As expected, Tang Xiucai truly doted on his daughter, and he was uneasy even after she died. He only left after Tang Baozhu helped him avenge her.
This made Tang Baozhu feel even more that there were some incomprehensible things in the world. After all, she already had a red envelope group and a system, so she no longer doubted anything that couldn't be explained by science.
The only thing left is to live until the little girl passes away. There are still three or four years until the little girl in her previous life passed away. Only after passing this time hurdle can she rest easy.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was time to leave the mourning period. Over the years, she had never forgotten to practice calligraphy, and now her handwriting was quite good.
Every year I also take on a few embroidery projects to embroider, which helps me improve my embroidery skills without becoming rusty.
If you try to improve your embroidery skills behind closed doors, it will be extremely difficult. I feel like I haven't made any progress in the past few years, except that I've just gotten a little faster at embroidering.
After the mourning period ended, the happiest person should be Li Jun. Li Jun is not young anymore, he is already 22 years old. Other young men in the same village are already fathers of several children at that age.
But he was willing to wait for Baozhu. He didn't know when it started, but his feelings for Baozhu grew deeper and deeper, to the point that he couldn't live without her.
