After being exiled, she married a rough man, and the sickly beauty was spoiled

He Zhan only stayed at home for one night before returning to the city.

On the day when A'mo officially entered the military camp, Song Huiling and Yang accompanied him to see him off.

During the period of recuperation, Song Huiling went to Machen Village several times.

Ding finally decided to keep the baby.

She injured her body when giving birth to Xu Yanqing, and the doctor said it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again in the future. The small number of offspring has always been a pain in her heart.

Mrs. Ding had never thought that she could get pregnant at her old age. When she found out she was pregnant, she was so excited that she could not suppress her joy and felt that it was a gift from God.

But when she thought of the Xu family's poverty and the current situation, and that the child would suffer with the whole family as soon as he was born, she hesitated again.

In the end, Xu Duanyang, despite the pressure of being scolded by her, told the whole family about this matter.

Xu Duanyang knew Ding's real concerns, and took the initiative to take on the heaviest work at the horse farm. Not only did this free Ding from the work, but he also allowed her to receive more monthly pay to supplement the household expenses.

The Xu family also sympathized with the difficulty that Ding had in getting pregnant at an advanced age, and took the initiative to take over all the household chores, big and small.

Song Huiling knew the general direction of the book. The fifth prince would ascend the throne in two years, and Xu Xianzhang, as a supporter of the fifth prince, would definitely return to the capital again.

She didn't want to reveal this to Mrs. Ding, so she just advised her to relax, thinking that the hard times were temporary and that there would be endless happiness in the future.

Ding didn't take Song Huiling's comfort to heart and just smiled it off.

After experiencing the misfortune of exile, she also came to see things more clearly. She realized that wealth and glory are all illusory, and that the greatest blessing is that her family is safe and healthy.

In the blink of an eye, one month has arrived quickly.

Song Huiling was going to Longxi Tea Farm, and He Zhan also received a secret mission and had to leave Qingyuan County, which would take three months.

It will take several years for the situation in Qianzhong to stabilize. Song Huiling knew that before the fifth prince ascended the throne and led the army in person, He Zhan would be busy, and it would be normal for the couple to be apart more than together.

Song Huiling was reluctant to leave, but she could only keep her concern in her heart.

During this period, Xie Yunsui came to see her once. Knowing that she was unwilling to divorce He Zhan, he did not say anything else. He only asked her to treat him as her brother in the future and not to have any grudges against him.

Since Xie Yunsui was able to let it go openly, Song Huiling would treat him with courtesy in the future, but he would not be able to be as close to him as he was to his brother.

Longxi Tea Plantation was twenty miles away from Qingyuan County. After Song Huiling arrived in Qingyuan County from Yuntun Village, she hired a donkey cart to take her to the tea plantation.

During her recovery period, she had come to the tea plantation once in advance to visit the owner, Zhan Xuan.

Knowing that it was Zhou Fuyuan who recommended her, Zhan Xuan did not immediately agree to let her enter the tea plantation.

He only told her to heal her wrist injury first. The tea plantation would be recruiting in a month and there would be several rounds of competitions.

If she really wants to work in the tea plantation, she should come and participate in the recruitment and get in based on her real ability.

Song Huiling had inquired about it and found out that Longxi Tea Farm was not only the largest tea farm in the vicinity of Qingyuan County, but also the largest tea farm in the entire Qianzhong area. There were many people trying their best to get in.

On the way to the tea plantation, she met many travelers, and when she asked, she found out that they were all going to the tea plantation to participate in a job recruitment competition.

The donkey cart traveled through the green valley. The rolling hills were planted with tea and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

Near the end of the valley, a slightly tall wooden platform stands on the ground, with four thick pillars deeply inserted into the soil. In front of the platform hangs a striking cloth banner with four large characters "Recruiting Tea Workers" written on it.

There was a long table under the stage, and two teams of people stood in front of the table. They were all here to participate in the recruitment.

After Song Huiling got off the donkey cart, she walked towards the team on the left, and soon there were people standing behind her.

Those who have registered their information will be taken into the tea garden, and the team will keep moving forward.

Song Huiling was just queuing when suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind her and pushed her away.

The movement was too fast. Before Song Huiling could come to her senses, she looked up and saw an unpleasant face.

The man had a handsome face, and if it weren't for the crooked scar across his face, he would be considered gentle.

But the way he behaved, as well as the fierceness and rudeness in his eyes, had nothing to do with the word "gentlemanly".

Song Huiling felt that this person looked familiar, but she had no impression of where she had seen him.

She rubbed her sore arm, looked at the man, and said angrily, "Brother, I have no grudge against you. I am just standing in line here. How am I bothering you? Why did you bump into me for no reason?"

Hu Wendi didn't look closely at the woman in front of him. Just a quick glance told him that she had a very beautiful face.

He also felt a strange sense of familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen this woman somewhere before.

But ever since what happened last time, his disgust for beautiful women has reached its peak. As long as he looks at a beautiful woman for a second longer, his inner anger will completely surge up.

He didn't even look at Song Huiling, but looked at her with his nose, and snorted, "Don't you see that all the people in this line are men? Why are you, a woman, joining in the fun?"

Song Huiling was so angry that she laughed: "Today's recruitment did not state that women were not allowed to participate. I will line up in whichever team I like. What does it have to do with you?"

As she spoke, she forced her way back into the line, ignoring the man's hostile looks.

But Hu Wendi seemed determined to go against her. The moment she squeezed in, he pushed her out again.

Song Huiling staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She was petite and was embarrassed by a big man like Hu Wendi in front of her. The other people in the queue couldn't stand it and they all spoke up for Song Huiling.

"My dear, you are too narrow-minded. Why are you fussing over a weak woman? She is just standing in line and it doesn't bother you at all."

"Girl, he won't let you stand in front of him, so come here."

Hu Wendi turned around and looked at the people behind him, sneering: "I am clearly helping everyone, why are you blaming me? If anyone in this team is selected, they will have to follow the manager in the future. The people in the team next to them will all be hired as handymen, how can it be as glorious as following the manager?

This woman is obviously a tea picker, but she insisted on squeezing into our team. If the judges see her appearance during the formal competition and take pity on her for her beauty, and recruit her to the manager's side, wouldn't that be taking up our places for nothing?"

If Hu Wendi hadn't said it, no one would have thought about it. According to their understanding, all the people following the manager were men, and as for the women, most of them were tea pickers.

After Hu Wendi said this, everyone immediately looked at Song Huiling with wary eyes, fearing that she would snatch their spots.

The men who had originally spoken up for her immediately turned against her and began to accuse her.
