Chapter 389 - 4: The Male Lead Is So Popular_2
The captain furrowed his brows: "You think you can just skip work when you want to? What’s with this outdated thinking? If everyone acted like this, how would the village get its work done?"
Frustrated at home with that horrid spirit in her house, and now out here she had to put up with the captain’s temperament. The captain himself was biased; otherwise, how could his daughter be here looking after the farm tools?
What’s so interesting about farm tools, anyway? Can they be eaten? And you only get eight work points a day for it...
Pah!
The cheeky Old Mrs. Chu chimed in with a sarcastic tone: "Well, what can we do? Our child is known for being hardworking. She’s already worn out her body at such a young age. Can’t she take a break? Captain, if you don’t believe it, why don’t you take her to the hospital for a check-up?"
Also, maybe let the hospital treat this starving ghost. It would be best if the government could take her in.
It would save their family from spending money.
Really wish they could find a witch to cast a spell... but ever since the ’Four Olds’ were eradicated, these people are too scared to come forward.
Old Mrs. Chu sighed.
...
No one expected the Zhou Bapi-like Old Mrs. Chu to say such things, and everyone was truly surprised. Meanwhile, Wen Juan, who was registering the farm tools, suddenly realized—
No wonder the girl last night seemed so familiar; it’s the one from the Chu Family!
Hmph!
When she first transmigrated, she actually felt sorry for the girl, thinking she was suffering in such an oppressive family and felt sympathetic for quite a while... Who knew at the critical moment, the girl would interfere.
She was resentful, but also afraid that last night’s incident would be exposed. After all, if her wish had been fulfilled, she would have been eager for it to come out, but nothing happened. In the middle of the night, she couldn’t come up with a reason for being by the river, nor could she risk creating gossip... so she could only swallow her anger.
As for considering Chu River a threat—it wasn’t that serious.
Transmigrators have a discerning eye, after all.
Chu River?
Standing at one and a half meters tall, weighing no more than 60 jin, dark and scrawny, and spoke in such an unpleasant manner...
The male lead would have to be blind to choose someone like him!
Not at all!
As she absent-mindedly registered farm tools, she suddenly heard a weak voice: "One hoe."
Looking up, it was the pale Zhao Weihong.
She was also Shi Suifeng’s wife, who didn’t recognize gold-studded jade.
...
Recalling her foresight and having read the entire book, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority and looked at Zhao Weihong with pity:
"Weihong, why do you look so weak?"
Zhao Weihong just smiled: "I don’t know what happened last night, I had diarrhea the whole time..."
With a lot of people collecting farming tools, everyone had to hurry up to start work, so the two sisters didn’t have a chance to talk much.
Once all the tools had been handed out, Wen Juan continued to sit there eating seeds, contemplating how to efficiently form a family with Shi Suifeng.
Meanwhile, out in the scorching sun-drenched fields, Zhao Weihong, while enduring the burden of weeding, couldn’t help but think of her past life.
In her past life, she initially couldn’t follow the army, stayed at the Shi Family for a year, and finally got the chance to join them, only to find out Shi Suifeng had adopted three comrades’ children. With just a small stipend each month, how could they support such a family?
Especially dealing with those three kids, transitioning from a newlywed wife to a stepmother wasn’t an easy task. She was an outsider both inside and outside the military district, and eventually, she simply made an excuse to return home and elope with someone else using referral letters.
Traveling and transferring from the seaside, she smuggled herself to the island, but met the wrong person, living half her life drifting and never managing to afford even a small dwelling on Hong Kong Island.
However, while doing cleaning work once, she saw that family who came to the island for a tour.
A dignified father, three accomplished children, accompanied by a group of people with varied temperaments...
Upon opening her eyes again, Zhao Weihong found herself reborn to the day she first met Shi Suifeng in her past life.
...
That night, she wanted to go down the river to catch fish but unfortunately cramped her leg, and Shi Suifeng went down to rescue her, both of their clothes soaking wet.
He was handsome, tall, and an exceptionally fine man in the area. Zhao Weihong’s maiden heart was pounding, thinking of how her family expected to use her for a bride price, and deliberately had him take her home.
The next day, rumors spread throughout the village.
Yet, this life after being reborn, there was no time for a serendipitous encounter by the river; instead, she was turning uncomfortably in the toilet.
By the time dawn approached, her stomach finally quieted down, but Zhao Weihong was already weak and weary.
