Wei Yuankai Reborn 2
Zhang Fuwei grew up in the border, and he knew all kinds of things in the border, and he talked a lot about the customs of the border. There are often Rong people here to plunder, so that the life of the people is very difficult. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for those women to stay out of the door like the ladies in the capital. In fact, the women here work like men, no one will say anything when they go out in public. For rich people, it is easy to want more women, and it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, but for ordinary people in the border, women are very rare.
“Lieutenant Wei, you don’t know the situation in ordinary people’s homes. Women give birth to children, half boys and half girls. Those big families have three wives and four concubines. Aren’t many ordinary people unable to marry wives? Of course, women here at least it’s not because of this.” Deputy Zhang said with a smile: “People who come here to serve as soldiers are from all over the world, and most of them are not married. They come here, and after serving as soldiers for many years, they often marry with girls here with this, there will be more bachelors here…”
There has been a war here, and most of the soldiers who go to the battlefield are soldiers from various places, and many of them come every year. Once they come, won’t there be more men and fewer women here? In the end, many men could not marry a wife at all. Then, all kinds of things came out.
“We don’t like widowhood here. After a man dies, even if that woman has seven or eight children, even if she is too old to have children, there are many people who are willing to marry her. After all, marry her and raise children. If you don’t marry… a bachelor’s family is a bit warm, it may take a long time for someone to know about you being robbed or killed, even if you are lucky and don’t encounter such a bad thing, you can only be starve to death when you are old and unable to walk. There is no grave when you die, no one worships you. So it is not bad to be able to marry a widow. Some people can’t even afford to marry a widow, or they can’t wait for the right time in the end, after saving money, she can only spend the money to rent other people’s wife, and rent it for two years to find a way to have a child.”
“Renting my wife to others, this…” Wei Yuankai spent many years in prison in his previous life, he never knew such a shocking thing existed.
“The family can’t afford enough to eat. Let the woman go to someone else’s house to eat for two years, in exchange for some money, isn’t it good?”
Deputy Zhang saw Wei Yuankai’s frightened look, and became more interested. He made up his mind to have a good talk with this young master today. In the past, Wei Yuankai had always put on airs as a young master. Although he fought fiercely, he didn’t know the sufferings of the people. He was a little uncomfortable with it, but Wei Yuankai didn’t talk to him very much before, so naturally he wouldn’t talk about these things… Now he can shock this Eldest young master. Wei Yuankai knew that what Zhang Fuwei said was reasonable, he still felt that it was useless for a man to be unable to support his own wife, but he suddenly thought that he was still killed by his own wife, which seemed even more useless….
“In some families with many brothers, one person and one daughter-in-law are absolutely unaffordable. In the end, the brothers pooled their money to marry a wife. In the end, when the child was born, there was no distinction between you and me…”
Hearing this, Wei Yuankai face was all black.
“Actually, there is another kind that is very common. Some soldiers married wives, later they went to the battlefield and injured their hands and feet and couldn’t work. They would find someone with sound hands and feet to help the family. Of course, his wife would also give to that person. Having a baby…in the end, the family will live together like this.” Zhang Fuwei looked at Wei Yuankai’s ugly face and smiled.
Wei Yuankai doesn’t know what to say right now, there is actually one woman and two men in this world! After he was surprised, he remembered what Deputy Zhang had asked him before. If Mu Ling had a child with another man, of course he would not treat that child well, he might even kill the child together with Mu Ling. In this case… How could Mu Ling be able to have a child she had with another man? like? But things can’t be said like this, women and men are different after all, women marry and obey their husbands, they should teach their husbands women and children to obey their husbands… But, even if it is a woman, if it is not her own child, how can she like it? Suddenly figured this out, Wei Yuankai felt as if he had been slapped in the head, and he couldn’t recover. Wei Yuankai tossed and turned, in the end he didn’t sleep all night. He seldom thinks about things in the back house. Although he knows that his family is ashamed to Mu Ling, he feels that he respects Mu Ling very much, which is to make up for it. But now that he thinks about it, he feels that this is not right. Wei Yuankai almost didn’t sleep all night, but was woken up by a crisp voice the next day.
“Brother Wei, my mother made some fried spring rolls, let me bring them for you to eat.” Mrs. Liu shouted at Wei Yuankai’s door with a basket in her hand.
Wei Yuankai was recuperating in the border town, and there were so many people here, so it was impossible for him to live alone in a courtyard like he did in the capital. Mrs Liu can easily find the door. In his previous life, he only bought a house after he wanted the Liu family. Although he doesn’t want the Liu family now, he can buy another one, so that no one can casually shout outside the house…
At this time in his previous life, Wei Yuankai was young, he didn’t know how to judge people, he never took women seriously, he only thought of Liu Shi as a lively and cute little girl, but in this life… These days, Liu Shi continued to care about his wounds but after coming here a few times, Wei Yuankai could clearly see the clinging in her eyes. He already had a problem with Mrs. Liu, now he felt even more uncomfortable after discovering this. In her previous life, Liu Shi followed him for the sake of wealth, right? This Liu’s father was actually just a scholar, but at the border, there were so few scholars that even if he was only a scholar, he later became the head of the county government. The county magistrate here was originally demoted by the Beijing officials for committing a crime. He has no foundation here, he has no hands, so he simply ignores everything, so that a lot of power falls into the hands of Liu’s father, making Liu’s father a local emperor. However, although Liu’s father looked at the scenery, he was only a master in the end, and it was difficult to go further. That’s probably why he tried to put Liu’s side by his side.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuankai couldn’t help but smile wryly. In fact, in his previous life, if the Liu family had been more obedient and hadn’t given Mu Ling medicine, maybe he would really have made the Liu family prosperous for the sake of Liu Dalang who died trying to save him. It’s a pity that the Liu family is dissatisfied… Or maybe it’s not dissatisfaction, but jealousy… Wei Yuankai remembered Zhang Fuwei’s words again, and suddenly lost interest: “I don’t like greasy food, take it back.”
Wei Yuankai refused again Yes, Mrs. Liu was obviously very reluctant, but she was just a girl after all, even though she was brave, she couldn’t do things like breaking in, so she stomped her feet and left indignantly.
Wei Yuankai was young and in good health, he could get out of bed after a few days. After he was able to walk this time, he didn’t study all day long, but looked around. With this look, he saw many things again. There is no shortage of women at the border who show their faces. Women who sell noodle stalls on the street can even scold their husbands because they miscalculated the money, and these are things that he has never noticed or thought of before. No, he may have noticed it in the past, but even if he saw it at that time, he would probably only think that these women are shrews, he would not think that women can actually do many things that men can do, so they underestimated them. In his whole life, he finally fell on a woman. Wei Yuankai wandered around like this for half a month, and finally decided to let go of these things first, and then think carefully about what he should do next. He has lived a whole life and knows many things in this world. Since this is the case, he should strive for greater power in this life! Thinking of it this way, Wei Yuankai’s stagnation due to rebirth was swept away, and he became ambitious again. An old man with an ambition of a thousand miles, and even before his death in his previous life, he could not be called old! After gaining ambition, Wei Yuankai took a pen and paper, and wrote down what would happen in his memory one by one, and then made a plan for himself, such as how to make contributions at the border.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuankai thought that he really couldn’t live in the house assigned to him in this barracks anymore, lest he wanted to hide the plan he had written and there would be nowhere to hide… Called the soldiers, and he immediately let the man took his silver and went to a small yard to buy.
The more Wei’s mother thought about it, the more frightened she became. She even thought about things like her son’s missing arms and legs. It was only after she became tired that she finally gave up her mind but she was still worried, and finally let Mu Ling to come here riding carriages days and nights. Wei Yuankai really didn’t think that his letter would lead to such a thing. At the same time, he felt a little ashamed, feeling that he was ashamed of his parents.
“Master, after I came, I went to the military camp to look for you first, then I found out that you were here. Why did you suddenly buy a house?”
Wei Yuankai’s buying a house is a good thing for Mu Ling, it is convenient for the people she brought to settle in, but she was also worried, worried about which woman Wei Yuankai bought the house for.
“There are a lot of people coming and going in the barracks, it was too noisy during the regimen, so I bought a house.” Wei Yuankai said.
Mu Ling immediately smiled: “This is what it should be. Master shouldn’t lose himself. Master, we have traveled all the way here, so how do we settle down?”
“The houses in the backyard are all empty.” Wei Yuankai said immediately, and then saw Mu Ling happily going to the backyard, and only a nanny next to Mu Ling came to him to help Mu Ling claim credit.
“Young Madam has never traveled long distances. These days, she was bumped in a carriage and vomited non-stop every day, but because she was worried about Master, she would not slow down the journey, she lost a lot of weight… Master, where is the kitchen? I’ll go get some hot food for the young lady, we’ve been eating dry food for a few days for the journey.”
“Ma’am, have worked hard.” Wei Yuankai knew that the journey was very tiring, thinking that Mu Ling was worried that she had been going all the way but his mood was a little complicated.
The servants all went to pack their things, Wei Yuankai washed himself with well water, changed his clothes, asked where Mu Ling was, and rushed over, only to see Mu Ling leaned on the chair asleep. The sleeping girl showed her slender neck. As long as he exerted his strength, he could avenge all the vengeance of killing his body and son in his previous life. However, there is actually a reason for such a girl to reach that point in the end, right? It was because he was so self-righteous back then that he never put himself in her shoes.
“The bath water is ready?” Mu Ling opened her eyes in a daze, and Wei Yuankai realized that his hand touched Mu Ling’s cheek. The slippery skin on his hands made Wei Yuankai’s heart flutter, and he unconsciously remembered the astonishment when he first saw Mu Ling.
Mu Ling was already blushing. Although Wei Yuankai was nice to her, the two of them stayed less often together, and Wei Yuankai would not normally do this kind of intimate behavior. The face of the blushing girl and the crying old woman he saw before he died overlapped. Wei Yuankai’s heart sank, he finally stretched out his hand to wrap Mu Ling in his arms. Nothings happened now, he will treats Mu Ling well, so he won’t fall to that point. If his son was born by Mu Ling, how could Mu Ling be so ruthless as to kill him?
