40 -40 Resentment_1
Zhulan had never seen the autumn harvest before.
In modern times, she would at best glance at mechanized, fast, and labor-saving farming on the news.
She was very curious about how it was done in ancient times and wanted to see it for herself.
Besides, she gradually got used to her body; many minor details of her original life had become blurry.
Fortunately, she remembered all the people and significant events clearly.
Zhulan asked Zhou Shuren, “Do you want to go see?”
Zhou Shuren hadn’t planned on going.
He wasn’t curious at all.
There were farmlands near the orphanage he had seen before, but then he looked into Zhulan’s shining eyes, swallowed back his words, and put down the book he was holding, “Okay.”
Zhulan took out the grain they would use for lunch and handed it over to Lady Li.
She also counted out a few coins for Lady Li to buy tofu and meat, then set off to the fields with Zhou Shuren.
Zhou’s village was in the north, where the leaves had turned yellow, making the scenery on the hills particularly beautiful.
Only Zhulan and her husband were free to appreciate it, as the villagers were all busy with the tense harvest in the fields!
Zhou’s land was easy to find as it was all in one piece.
Six adult men worked with exceptional efficiency.
They had already harvested two acres of rice, and the wild chickens, which loved eating the rice grains, were startled into flight as the rice was cut.
Zhulan had never eaten wild chicken, “All these wild chickens, we could just catch a few.”
The taste of the natural ecology must be good!
Zhou Shuren had experience setting traps, “Want to eat?”
“Of course, I do.
You say that nothing tastes good in the modern world with everything available.
Here in ancient times, everything I see makes me crave, and I even dream of meat.”
She had dreamt about gnawing on pig’s feet several times, waking up with drool on her pillow.
It wasn’t until she had Zhao make her a pillowcase that she managed to keep this from Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren said, “There are quite a few wild chickens here.
I’ll come back this afternoon and make some traps to see if I can catch any.”
“You have this skill?”
“I practiced with pigeons and sparrows.”
Zhulan believed in Zhou Shuren’s skills and was already thinking about how to cook the wild chickens.
As she scanned the expanse of rice fields, she noticed Wang Ru and a few other girls and remembered that the Wang family’s land was next to the Zhous, making it difficult for the two families not to clash.
Three girls were laboriously cutting the rice.
Wang Ru, who had never done farm work, hadn’t cut much and kept glancing hatefully at Wang’s fourth son.
This was far from the original story where Wang’s fourth son’s family was supposed to be loving.
Now that the Zhou family no longer distracted Madame Wang, her focus was solely on Wang’s fourth son’s family, pushing him to the point of intense resistance.
If a son was indeed born, Wang Ru and her sisters would only have their fate sealed to be sold.
Zhulan muttered, “No wonder!”
Zhou Shuren, with his sharp hearing, asked, “No wonder what?”
Pulling Zhou Shuren to start walking back, Zhulan whispered as they walked, “In the original text, I always felt that the accident with Madame Sun’s child was strange.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
When I first arrived, I suspected it, and now I’m almost certain that Wang Ru orchestrated it.
Wang Ru feared that if Wang’s fourth son truly had a son, she wouldn’t be able to control him anymore, so she took drastic measures.”
Zhou Shuren paused in his steps, looked back at Wang Ru with her deep grudge, and said, “There will be trouble in the Wang family tonight.”
Zhulan was stunned, “You mean something will happen to Madame Sun?”
Zhou Shuren said, “Wang’s fourth son and his wife are so preoccupied with having a son they completely disregard their daughters’ wellbeing.
Wang Ru can’t bear it anymore.”
Zhulan shivered.
As someone brought up under the red flag, she couldn’t bring herself to harm another, and Wang Ru had reshaped her understanding.
“She truly is ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve her goals.
That unborn child is still a life.”
Zhou Shuren patted Zhulan’s shoulder, “I’m here.”
Zhulan felt conflicted, “Should we…”
She swallowed the rest of her words.
How could she be indifferent, yet how could she not?
If Wang’s fourth son and his wife treated all their children equally, the child could be born safely.
The fault lay in their disregard for their daughters.
Without change from Wang’s fourth son and his wife, the child would not be born, as the other branches of the Wang family, except for Madame Wang, would rather the child not be born at all.
Zhou Shuren saw the change in Zhulan and was pleased.
He didn’t fear a kind heart, but a malicious one – that truly scared people.
He squeezed her hand, “We can’t help with this.
The root cause lies with Wang’s fourth son and his wife; they bear most of the responsibility.”
