"Mother, why do you ask this? By the way, are you going to farm this afternoon? Can we use that cow?"
Li Shoucheng quickly changed the subject, wanting Wang Yi to forget about him sneaking into the Lan Miao tent.
Wang Yi slapped him on the back of the head. "Don't change the subject, you little brat. Lan Miao's parents are gone, so we must not bully her. Do you understand? Don't demand repayment for a favor. Have you read all this stuff?"
"Stop giving me any bad ideas, stop giving me any bad ideas!"
"Stop, stop, stop, Mom, stop hitting me. I'm going to make her stupid. I know, I really know. I didn't bully Lan Miao. I'm sincere to her!"
"Stop talking nonsense to me and stay away from me. I'm still in mourning. Stop causing trouble!"
"Mom, I know, I know!"
Li Shoucheng fled in panic. Even after running a distance, he turned back and asked, "Mom, you haven't told me yet. Do you want the big yellow ox this afternoon?"
"I don't need it. Get out of here!"
"Okay!"
Back in the tent, Qubing was sent by Wang Yi to fetch water. She looked at Lan Miao, but before she could speak, Lan Miao suddenly took off the mourning band on her head.
"Auntie, I do."
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Wang Yi frowned and tied the mourning belt back on her.
"I mean, I am willing to marry Brother Shoucheng. Moreover, if Brother Shoucheng finds a woman he likes or becomes a high-ranking official in the future, I am willing to be his mistress." Lan Miao said clearly without any hesitation or confusion. Wang Yi actually saw in her many shadows of the old-fashioned women played by Gong Huang in modern film and television dramas.
Calm, smart, resigned and persistent.
So sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
After tying the mourning band on her head, Wang Yi took her hand and earnestly warned her, "You don't have to marry Shoucheng, or any of my sons. You are your own person. Don't let your family's misfortune make you look down on yourself."
She touched Lan Miao's still childish face and said with a smile, "Girls, you are the most precious thing. Even if you never marry, it doesn't matter. Auntie is willing to support you, don't worry, you will not go short of food."
Lan Miao had a serious and earnest face, pretending to be mature, but suddenly the corners of her mouth turned down. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore and cried silently in Wang Yi's arms.
She cried for a long time, and only raised her head and wiped her tears after Li Qubing brought the water.
"Auntie, you're so kind to me. Just because you're so kind to me, it's not a bad thing for me to marry Shoucheng. Don't worry, I'll be humble and humble from now on, just asking to give birth to a child for the Li family, and I won't be jealous. Lan Miao's life is worthless, and there's nothing else I can do to repay you."
Wang Yi knew that she could not change the thoughts of women in this era, but she felt a little bitter in her heart.
If you really want to thank me, don’t give birth to another child for me to raise!
I am an old lady and I am not suitable to take care of children!
In the afternoon, Wang Yi lay down in the shade again, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan to rest.
The family watched her guarding her half-acre of land, lowering their heads and whispering to each other.
"Hey, you scared me. I thought grandma was really going to work. It's better this way. I feel at ease when she does this."
"Yes. Sister-in-law, you don't know the look on my mother-in-law's face these past two days after she went to the fields. It felt like she could grab me and scold me at any time."
"Hush, keep your voice down. Big brother is pulling the cows out front. As long as grandma stays healthy, we will all be lucky."
Several daughters-in-law were whispering while hoeing the fields, and Wang Yi's filial piety value suddenly increased by four points.
“…”
There is a kind of speechless feeling that when everyone thinks you are starting to get better, it is the calm night before the storm.
Count the ball!
Don't even think about asking me to work in the future.
Who doesn’t know how to take care of their health?
Zheng Yeheng was hiding alone in the tent, staring at a piece of sugarcane in a daze.
There were about three inches of sugarcane left, and a pile of sugarcane husks fell at my feet. I cut my hand accidentally while peeling the sugarcane, and it was a bit hot and painful.
"What magical power does she have? On such a sunny day, when the sugarcane isn't ripe yet, where does she get it?"
"How did she know about the poisonous weeds in the Yunzhi area?"
"These past few days, whenever I see her after a while, I feel that her skin is whiter, tighter, and more delicate. Also, it seems that her face has changed slightly, becoming... more beautiful."
"Is she just a peasant woman from Yeyingpo, Yunze Country? But she doesn't look like an ordinary person at all."
"Hongjiu, Hongjiu!"
"Here comes the prince!"
"Can you find out where Wang went?"
Now Zheng Yeheng doesn't like to call her Li Wangshi, so he just calls her Wangshi.
I can't call my subordinates "sister" in front of them. I am very concerned about my reputation.
"Right now, I'm enjoying the cool shade under the third big poplar tree outside the camp!"
"Very good. Prepare the fruit plate and pastries!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Yi closed his eyes, covered his eyes with two large poplar leaves, leaned on the grass, and listened to the breeze to enjoy the coolness.
At this moment, she somewhat missed the WIFI and air-conditioning watermelon, but the natural beauty was also very refreshing. No one in the family wanted her to work in the fields under the scorching sun, so she decided to just be lazy and enjoy the tranquility.
"Ahem. What a coincidence, Sister Wang, can I sit here?"
Zheng Yeheng tried hard to make the encounter, which had been planned for a long time, look like an unexpected one. His face was cold and a little arrogant, as if Wang Yi just happened to appear in the place where he wanted to cool off.
When Wang Yi saw Hong Jiu holding an iced fruit plate and exquisite desserts behind him, he frowned slightly.
Damn the capitalist ruling class, they can even get ice and fresh fruit during such a chaotic period.
Look, there are dewdrops hanging on the fruit.
