The news that Qin Xiangrong ran to Cen Ziwen's wedding scene in her wedding dress caused quite a stir and spread to every household. This gossip made everyone excited in the cold weather.
No one expected that Qin Xiangrong, who had always been gentle, would do such an outrageous thing. Many people said that she was too impulsive.
Doing this would only hurt the enemy by a thousand and herself by eight hundred. It would offend Cen Ziwen and also ruin herself. It would be difficult for her to get married again after this incident.
However, Qin Xiangrong herself didn't care much about this. She just wanted to stay at home with her parents and raise her son. She didn't want to remarry.
This kind of independent idea was unbelievable to the villagers, and even Qin Laoshuan couldn't accept it. If Qin Xiangrong's husband died and she became a widow, she could still be said to be chaste, but her situation was different.
Pei Shaorong didn't think it was a big deal. Apart from the fact that Cen Ziwen was a scumbag, Qin Xiangrong's current situation was somewhat related to her previous docility. Being strong and independent was a good thing for her.
But Qin Xiangrong seemed to have given up and didn't want to get married again. She planned to be alone for the rest of her life. He felt it was a pity. It was not worth it to be alone for someone who didn't cherish her...
The days passed in such gossip and excitement. The weather was still strange. The cold wind made people feel chilled. The soldiers stationed at various exits made everyone so scared that they couldn't even celebrate the New Year well.
As the weather had not improved for a long time, the fields could not be planted. In order to appease everyone, the court not only distributed porridge on a regular basis, but also distributed food aid according to the number of people in each household. Combined with everyone's own stored grain, no one starved to death.
However, it is difficult to say about the refugees hiding in the mountains. Ever since the heavy snow blocked the mountains and made it impossible to enter or exit, we have not seen any refugees fleeing into the mountains again. I don’t know what the situation is like.
It's impossible to farm here, and the weather outside is cold. The villagers stay at home all day and have nothing to do. Pei Shaorong has nothing else to do, but he is not idle.
Anyone who has had children at home should know that once there is a child in the family, there is no way you can expect a peaceful life. Even if Pei Shaorong's son is very quiet, he is still a child and will inevitably make some noise.
But despite all the noise, Pei Shaorong felt that having a child at home was different. Life was much more lively and he had an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
But at night Pei Shaorong began to dislike him and refused to let his son sleep with him, allowing Old Man Mo to happily hold him and play with him.
Taking care of a child to sleep at night will affect the deep communication between him and Abao. The couple needs to have some private world for their relationship to get better and better!
Mo Xiaobao also agreed with Pei Shaorong's opinion. Of course, his idea was different from Pei Shaorong's. He still wanted to have a child.
Every family in the village has three or four children. It would be so lonely if he had only one child. He had to give birth to a few more boys for Brother Pei to expand the family!
However, Pei Shaorong didn't really want to have another child. It wasn't that he didn't like children, but giving birth in ancient times was so difficult. Every time an adult was born, it was like going through the gates of hell.
This time, he was scared to death by Mo Xiaobao's screams for more than ten hours during the birth of his son. He was really worried that something might happen to Abao. After all, boys are different from women.
But Pei Shaorong didn't tell Mo Xiaobao about this idea. He knew that Abao, as a local, was persistent and stubborn about having children. This guy was even hoping to give birth to a basketball team for him. Just thinking about it made him feel both happy and sad...
The cold weather that lasted for a whole year finally began to improve, and the snow on the back mountain finally melted. However, it was still very cold, and if you wanted to find food in the mountains, you still had to go deep into the mountains. You didn't have to be afraid of heavy snow, but you had to be afraid of wild beasts.
But it is not okay to just live off the savings and rely on handouts from the court. If you want to feel at ease, you have to farm the land.
However, although the weather had improved, it was still very cold, and the plants that were planted either died or grew slowly. Therefore, Pei Shaorong thought of a way to solve this dilemma.
This method is greenhouse cultivation. He has tried this simple greenhouse before to cultivate fruit seedlings. Although it is not as good as the modern real greenhouse, it can simulate the warm climate environment and have some effect on plant growth.
After listening to his advice, every household in the village finally fenced off a piece of land and built a simple and primitive greenhouse to grow some crops, which more or less produced some harvest. This dispelled everyone's worries about the disaster and made them grateful to the Pei family from the bottom of their hearts.
As the snow on the back mountain melted, the refugees who had been trapped in the mountain ran down. Many people died due to lack of sufficient food and warm clothes, and some even dared to risk their lives to climb over the mountain and leave.
Therefore, in the end, there were actually not many refugees coming down from the mountains. Apart from running to the army to get porridge every day, these people wandered around the village begging.
But after the previous robbery incident, the villagers did not have a very good influence on the refugees, and what these people could beg for was very limited.
Therefore, if these people wanted to fill their stomachs, they had to think of other ways. Either they tightened their belts and relied on the court's porridge to survive, or they worked for the villagers in exchange for food as they did at the beginning.
The remaining part of the people took unorthodox ways, so every night in the village one could always see some men going to where the refugees were staying. Some women and boys who were slightly pretty, and even men, had enough food to survive.
It goes without saying what these men did when they ran to the refugees' place.
So much so that from time to time in the village, you can hear gossip about which man and woman are fighting again, how fierce the fight is, how loud the quarrel is, not to mention that this farce is really more bloody and interesting than the TV show...
The village was bustling and beautiful, but Pei Shaorong was not busy enjoying the gossip and farce of the country people. Seeing that the fields could be planted and the back mountain had been unsealed, he had to go to the mountain to see how many of the fruit tree seedlings that had been transplanted into the mountains were still alive.
Although it was estimated that the fruit tree seedlings were almost frozen to death in the mountains, Pei Shaorong still wanted to go and take a look. He had to see the corpses of the seedlings before he could accept the reality.
This is all his fault for being too arrogant and unlucky. He thought it was a drought, but who knew it would be such a damn alternating hot and cold weather. The sudden change in weather caught him off guard!
However, Pei Shaorong was quite lucky this time. Although many saplings planted in the mountains were frozen to death, some of them survived, which was a little consolation.
Now that the weather is no longer so cold, he can start cultivating seedlings again to lay the foundation for planting fruit trees in the future.
After comforting himself for a while, Pei Shaorong put the living sapling into the space before leaving to go home.
When he reached the outskirts of the back mountain, Pei Shaorong met many villagers. Although the weather was beginning to improve, the fields could not grow crops for a while.
These days, when everyone has nothing to do, they go to the mountains to look for things. After all, they can't always rely on the food stored at home. In addition, Pei Shaorong also met someone he really didn't want to see.
At the foot of the mountain, Mo Lanzhu, in tattered clothes, stood in front of him, looking pitiful, and stopped him from leaving. "Shao Rong, wait a moment, I have something to tell you..."
Pei Shaorong couldn't help but frown when he heard Mo Lanzhu's address. He felt impatient and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
Now, Pei Shaorong doesn't care so much about the past and his resentment has faded a lot because of his peaceful and quiet life, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't hate Meng Wan who has transformed into Mo Lanzhu.
When Pei Shaorong saw that Mo Lanzhu had brought her own death upon herself, he was too lazy to take revenge on her. Anyway, the fate of this woman was basically in front of him, and he didn't need to waste his precious time on her anymore!
"I……"
Mo Lanzhu felt a little hurt when she heard Pei Shaorong's scolding, but she didn't move away. She bit her lip and wanted to say something, but couldn't. She stared at Pei Shaorong with some confusion.
Once upon a time, she hated this man so much. If it weren't for her father's debt in her previous life, how could she agree to be the girlfriend of a loser who only knew how to spend money.
But after experiencing the 'perfect love' she had always dreamed of after traveling through time, she regretted it and found out that she was wrong.
She has always wanted to find a man who is educated, hardworking and responsible. Even if his family is poor, as long as they love each other and the man knows how to work hard for the family, that is enough.
Gold will always shine, and poverty is not temporary. She will accompany the person she loves to endure hardships, and then share wealth and glory, appreciate the flowers and the moon together, and grow old together, so she will marry Sun Yaocai.
But only now did she realize that Sun Yaocai was not the man of her dreams, and all the vows they made during their previous loving days were fake!
Now Sun Yaocai despised her for not being able to give birth to a son, despised her mother for not having help from her family, despised her for not having the beauty she had as a girl, and hated her even more for ruining his career, and refused to let her return to the Sun family.
Father Mo, who had impulsively severed ties with her, no longer cared about her. She had survived this year with the refugees, without enough food or clothing.
She couldn't stand it anymore. The ruthlessness of the Sun family and the hard life with the refugees made her feel like every day was a year.
Without anyone to rely on, she didn't know how to cook or plant crops. She didn't learn any ancient knowledge or survival skills during her years of traveling through time. She didn't know any grains or animals and even had difficulty finding wild fruits. She was bullied by refugees every day.
Think about how carefree her life is in modern times. Even the days when she was the girlfriend of that loser Pei Shaorong seem so wonderful now.
At that time, she didn't have to worry about anything. She ate well, dressed well, and Pei Shaorong held her in the palm of his hand. No matter how she lost her temper, he would always coax her and go along with her.
Although she still doesn't like Pei Shaorong, compared to Sun Yaocai, a man with whom she has a serious generation gap and grudges, Pei Shaorong, a loser who already knows how to make progress, is much better.
So Mo Lanzhu felt that she had thought it through. She wanted to go back to Pei Shaorong and be with this man again. She was willing to live with him.
Now Pei Shaorong has ability and money, and even some prestige and status in the village. She will no longer suffer by being with him, and she will live the life she once lived, being cared for and having no worries.
After experiencing the tragic reality, she proved that she could not bear the life of poverty at all, and she could not share the joys and sorrows as she dreamed of.
Thinking of this, and seeing Pei Shaorong looking impatient and wanting to leave, Mo Lanzhu felt dissatisfied and said quickly.
"Shao Rong, I've thought it through. I know you still like me, and I also know that you came here for me. Now I am willing to accept you and live with you. I..."
"etc!"
Before Mo Lanzhu finished speaking, Pei Shaorong interrupted her and said, "Ms. Meng, is there really something wrong with your brain?"
Pei Shaorong had no idea how shameless Mo Lanzhu had to be and how problematic her brain was to say such a thing.
How long has it been since he last contacted this woman? Not to mention the past life, even in this Linjiang Village, I have only met her a few times and scolded her a few times. How could she still think that he likes her...
What's the point of going back to him now? Doesn't this woman know that he is already married and has children? Doesn't she know how horrifying it is for her to say such things in her current body?
"Ms. Meng, if you have a problem with your brain, please take some medicine before you go out. Why do you think I still like you? Do you really think I, Pei Shaorong, am a dog that you can order around at will?"
“No… no…”
Mo Lanzhu shook her head. She didn't expect that even though she took the initiative, Pei Shaorong not only didn't appreciate it, but was impatient and disgusted. She suddenly felt panicked.
"Shao Rong, I know I was a little willful and mean to you in the past, but I've thought it through. Really, I want to be with you now, and I won't dislike you anymore..."
"Disdain?" Pei Shaorong laughed, "Ms. Meng, what qualifications do you have to disdain others now?"
"I..." Mo Lanzhu paused and bit her lip. "I'm sorry, please don't be like this. I know you are angry with me. Shao Rong, can we start over? Do you know that? I feel so uncomfortable and sad now. I am not living well at all. I want to go home and be with you. These ancient people are simply impossible to communicate with..."
So it was because he couldn't communicate with the ancients and did stupid things, his relationship with Sun Yaocai broke down, and he was kicked out of the Sun family and suffered without anyone to rely on, so he thought of Pei Shaorong, the scapegoat?
What does this woman think she is? A fool who likes to wear a green hat and pick up broken shoes? Why does she think that others will always chase her and wait for her? Where does she get such confidence?
Pei Shaorong took a deep breath, stared at Mo Lanzhu and smiled slowly, "Miss Meng, I feel relieved to know that you are not doing well. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do. If you come, tell me what makes you unhappy and make me happy. Thank you..."
After saying that, Pei Shaorong was too lazy to talk any more and walked around Mo Lanzhu and left.
There are not so many people in this world who are waiting for you to come back. Don’t be too self-righteous and take other people’s sincerity lightly. When they love you, you are a treasure. When they don’t love you, you are not even a blade of grass…
