Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1196: Regret

Cheng Lin and Hongling each helped an elder sister-in-law and Tao Yanzhen pull them along, making it much easier for the two girls.Since the two families were already related, it was natural to walk closely together.

The Tao Family brothers and sisters cleaned up and went to the Li Family.

Tao Yanzhen noticed Li Xue looked a bit downcast.

"Li Xue, what’s wrong?"

Li Xue smiled, "It’s nothing."

"Hmph, it’s because my brother-in-law went out again, and my sister is worried."

After Hongling said this, everyone in the family laughed, and Li Xue blushed, though she didn’t deny it.

Tao Yanzhen felt a bit bitter inside; they truly seemed happy.

Li Yungui also had a change of opinion about the Tao Family brothers and sisters. He hadn’t expected the three seemingly pampered individuals to adapt well here, better than other educated youth. That was good.

Nowadays, Li Yungui paid special attention to the educated youth, hoping not to have another Yan Shuping situation, which was like a toad crawling on one’s foot, irritating without hurting.

The family hadn’t eaten yet when they heard the sound of a carriage outside.

Li Yungui quickly went out and saw Wang Shulin and Zheng Jixian coming in.

"Well, Li Yungui, your son’s wedding, such a joyous occasion, and you didn’t inform us?"

Li Yungui smiled and welcomed them, "It was just too rushed, no time at all, the eldest will leave in a week."

"We thought maybe you looked down on us and didn’t want us to come for the celebration?"

"What are you saying? How could that be? It really was just too rushed.

Quickly, come inside and sit. You two came, let’s have a drink today?"

"Who’s drinking with you? We ran into each other at the township, heard about it, and came to see."

"When Chaoyang gets married, I’ll definitely inform you, you have to understand me."

"Alright, we just came to have a look. You old thing didn’t invite us, but we came for the child."

They each took out five yuan, "Alright, let’s not stand on ceremony, the family doesn’t even know we came here, if we’re back late, they’ll worry."

Li Yungui understood. When they went out, their families would always be anxious.

"Alright, when December comes, we’ll have a drink."

Li Manjiang and Wang Menglin came over to greet Wang Shulin and Zheng Jixian.

"Alright, we’ll have more chances to meet in the future, we really must leave now."

The whole family came out to see them off. Watching them drive away, they went back to eat.

Tao Chunhe realized Li Yungui’s strong connections.

The village chief of a small mountain village, he could be both flexible and astute, truly remarkable.

At the meal, they didn’t talk about Wang Shulin and Zheng Jixian.

"My troublesome niece doesn’t have this fortune.

Li Yungui’s eldest son seems so promising, and that fool was deceived by a pretty face. I’m so angry I want to slap her."

"What’s going on?"

"Don’t mention it, it was earlier this year when I was talking to Li Yungui, worried about his eldest son’s marriage. My niece came to our village, and I thought this girl looked good, educated, and usually seemed smart, so I suggested her to Li Yungui."

I was going to take the kids to the Li Family, let Li Yungui and his wife have a look, but who would have thought this girl would disagree, saying she’d already gotten involved with an educated youth."

I was so mad I didn’t eat for days, that educated youth doesn’t even seem good, just a pretty face deceiving such a fool."

The matter was dropped, I didn’t dare tell Li Yungui, but months later, the couple came to my home.

Finally, I had to be honest."

"It’s not meant to be."

"Exactly, it’s just not meant to be. That foolish girl, really angers me. The Li Family’s situation is so good.

She’ll regret it one day. Really doesn’t make people worry."

"Enough, why think about that? It’s not just a niece, even a son or daughter is hard to manage, let things happen naturally."

"I know, but seeing the eldest of the Li Family felt like such a pity today."

Wang Shulin took Zheng Jixian to the edge of the village and hurriedly drove back himself. It’d take him a while to reach home.

Li Manjiang was still holding Wang Menglin tight at night, "I must work hard when I return and get you to join the forces soon."

Wang Menglin, drifting off, murmured, "I don’t want to leave home, it’s so good here."

Li Manjiang didn’t catch it, wanting to ask, but realized she was already asleep.

His heart was filled with reluctance; just a few days before leaving, how could he leave such an excellent young wife?

With his mind racing, all he could do was sigh in the end.

The next day, after breakfast, "Dad, Mom, today Menglin and I are going to the city, want to check if our photos have been developed."

"Go ahead, take Menglin around, buy anything she likes."

Wang Menglin had no complaints, though initially she thought she’d be quite carefree, but after these few days together, this man had rooted himself in her heart, couldn’t be as carefree as she first imagined.

The two rode their bikes to the township, parked them in the government yard, and took a ride to the city.

Today, Jiang Xinyu and her husband didn’t go to work but carried their children up the mountain.

Wei Kaiyun felt his wife was a bit down, so decided to wave off the kids and take her out for fun.

Last year, around this time, Jiang Xinyu went up the mountain, so she headed straight for the chestnut tree.

After filling two bags with chestnuts, they let go. "Let’s go inside and have a look?"

Wei Kaiyun dared not; he might try alone, but not with his wife. But seeing her excitement, he finally agreed.

Though they saw good things along the way, they didn’t pick them.

"The villagers don’t go in further than this."

"Alright, let’s see if there’s anything good inside."

"Xinyu, do you really want to go in?"

"Let’s just take a look. If we find something good, next time we can bring more people."

"Next time I’ll come with Old Yang."

Jiang Xinyu saw Wei Kaiyun’s worried expression and nodded in agreement. Why make him worry, after all, she wasn’t set on going in, just felt a bit bored.

They headed back, passing by the persimmon tree, picking two baskets, ripe enough to make dried persimmons to change up the taste for the kids.

On the way down, Jiang Xinyu carried only one basket of persimmons, while Wei Kaiyun had a basket with a bag of chestnuts behind him and was holding a bag in front.

When they got home, Jiang Xinyu felt her shoulder had been sore from the strap, and Wei Kaiyun wasn’t faring much better.

Shi Xian saw his parents return and immediately recognized they’d gone out for fun, grabbing onto Wei Kaiyun’s pant leg, refusing to let go.
