Happiness System
Chapter 103 The original wife of the resentful male supporting role ()
After thinking about it all night, Fu Mao started to play slack the next day. Not only did he fail to keep up with the team, he also pushed the car all over the place. Zou Yin was so angry that he almost fell off several times and started cursing loudly.
Fu Mao admitted his mistake humbly, but he was still like that when he pushed the cart. In less than half an hour, Zou Yinran's arrogance was deflated and he no longer dared to ride in the cart pushed by Fu Mao.
Without Zou Yiran, Fu Mao still had a hard time.
His wife Qian Yanhua had a difficult delivery and before she had recovered the accident happened at home. He had not yet taken a concubine and had a good relationship with his wife. When he pushed the cart, he would let his wife sit up and rest for a while.
Compared with this side, the combination of the third and fourth bedrooms is much more harmonious.
Although Han Shuangshuang, a pregnant woman, would also sit on the cart when her husband pushed it, she had a concubine in the third room who could help.
Fu Xiuwu, the fourth roommate, was strong and healthy. It was no problem for him to carry a little luggage and a few young children. He didn't even need the help of his concubines. He could even let his frail wife sit on it to rest.
Moreover, he has a mindless worship of his second brother Fu Xiuwen, and now he has a second sister-in-law. In short, he just follows whatever the couple does.
Under Fu Xiusheng's mocking eyes, the two vehicles changed every day and soon transformed into "luxury" flatbed trucks that could shelter from wind and rain.
It was also a coincidence that on the second day after the cart was modified, there was a loud thunder and heavy rain fell.
The rain came very quickly. Half a quarter of an hour ago, the sky was clear, but suddenly a big black cloud gathered, followed by thunder and heavy rain.
The yamen runners only had time to cover everything with tarps before the rain started to fall.
Their location was right next to the river, the terrain was very low and not safe.
No matter how heavy the rain falls, the team cannot stop.
Fu Ronglang asked his wife, daughter-in-law and daughter to get on the cart to avoid the rain, but Qin Yunxi did not respond and only allowed her mother-in-law and Fu Qingyue to go up.
The road will only become more and more difficult to walk on after the rain, and they have recently acquired quite a few belongings...
It would be a loss if both the father and son got sick because of this.
She put the simple raincoat she had made a few days ago on the father and son, and then put it on herself and put on her veil.
This kind of attire is a bit hot, but at least except for the calves and feet, the rest of the body will not get wet in the rain.
The same thing happened with the third and fourth wives. The two wives squeezed onto the cart together, and the two brothers worked together to push the cart.
When buying rain cloth, Fu Ronglang also bought one and divided it into three parts to give to three carts.
The fourth room had some money and bought one too, so all the adults in the third and fourth rooms made raincoats.
Although the two concubines were unable to sit on the cart, they were not exposed to the rain, and the two grown men did not ask them to help push the cart.
The first and fifth wives were in a terrible situation.
The first thing they did when they got the tarpaulin was to divide it into three parts, one for each family, and the remaining one was just slightly larger than the cart.
Fu Mao directly gave the rain cloth to his wife and asked her to make a raincoat for him, while he went to learn from his fourth brother Fu Xiuwu, and took time to gather wool from the forest to make himself a raincoat.
The rain started to fall. I saw my elder brother and sister-in-law who were in such a mess and my wife who was blown to and fro by the wind. I was also worried that my son would suffocate under the oilcloth.
Fu Mao made up his mind, took the child out and hung him on his body, stuffed the only change of clothes into his wife's arms, abandoned the cart, half-supported and half-dragged his wife to catch up, following behind the second wife's cart.
After the fourth wife gave up, the first wife's family was stunned. Fu Xiusheng looked at the person who was gradually surpassing him, and had no choice but to push the cart forward in the rain with his two concubines.
The rain lasted for nearly an hour, and not surprisingly, most of the people who had no protective equipment fell ill.
Kong Hu had no choice but to stop the team again and ask people to boil medicine and distribute it.
Nearly half of the people in the Fu family's main branch were sick. Fu Xiusheng dragged his sick body to the elders to act pitiful, pretending to be nine out of ten when he was only three parts sick, causing Fu Ronglang and his wife, who had originally softened their hearts, to become hardened again.
Apart from throwing down two prescriptions, he no longer cared about their share.
Fu Mao had been prepared to be scolded and punished, but he did not expect that his father and stepmother would not even scold him and simply let the matter go.
However, after this incident, Fu Mao didn't dare to live with the first wife anymore. Anyway, his fifth wife had no family background, so he simply asked his father for a backpack and then left.
During this rain, more than ten people fell down and hit rocks and bled to death, and more than fifty people died from acute illnesses without receiving medical treatment.
Then the death of nearly seventy people did not cause any waves.
Among the exiled team, there were 32 households with a total of 2,782 people. According to the Dalī law, a 70% loss rate was allowed.
Therefore, in the eyes of the yamen runners, the lives of the fugitives were nothing.
The reality is so cruel.
The reason why the Fu family did not suffer any torture except hunger was not only because the Fu family was not guilty, but more because Qin Yunxi was generous.
Including the Qin family and the "friends" along the way, Qin Yunxi paid a total of nearly five thousand taels of protection money.
The exile team was divided into four categories. One category was the yamen runners, who were assigned to escort every ten prisoners. The 279 yamen runners, including Kong Hu, were upper-class people and had the power to kill the prisoners.
The next class are the Fu family, who were exiled but not convicted. Usually their ancestors had made great contributions or paid a huge price to preserve their family.
The yamen runners also had the right to kill them, but they were not allowed to kill without reason.
If they were paid enough silver, the yamen runners would generally not interfere too much with their work, and they would have a certain degree of freedom.
For example, during the rest time, if some people in the family leave the team, the yamen runners will not care as long as they can get back before the team sets out.
The next level is a lighter punishment, which usually involves confiscation of property and exile to the border as a military household.
The lowest level was for serious crimes, for which the head of the family would usually be beheaded to show the emperor's power. If the emperor was in a bad mood, all adult males would be beheaded. They would also be exiled to the border, but instead of being made into military households, they would become the lowest level of slaves.
The latter two had no human rights during exile, and the yamen runners could beat or kill them depending on their mood.
Of course, the 70% loss rate refers to children under ten years old and people over forty-five years old.
Yes, in this era, men and women can get married and have children at the age of fifteen, and they are considered old when they are forty-five.
As long as you get married quickly enough, you can become a great-grandfather before you are fifty years old.
The Jin family, where the heroine Pei Miaomiao belongs, is a serious criminal family, and the head of the family, Ning Yuanhou, is the uncle of Pei Miaomiao's current husband.
The reason why the heroine chose her current husband is because her uncle, Marquis Ningyuan, has no biological son. The next Marquis Ningyuan will be selected from among his nephews, and her current husband is the most promising one.
Of course, these are all in the past tense.
Qin Yunxi is now keeping a close eye on Fu Xiuwen, fearing that he will use his own money to help Pei Miaomiao.
Little did she know that her behavior actually made Fu Xiuwen feel relieved. In addition, the Fu family and the Jin family were far apart, and Pei Miaomiao sacrificed herself several times to ask someone to pass messages to Fu Xiuwen, but he refused.
Later, Pei Miaomiao no longer insisted on asking for money or things face to face, but directly let the messenger express her demands.
Of course Fu Xiuwen continued to refuse. The reason was ready-made. He was now a gigolo and his wife was very strict with him. Although he had some money in his pocket, his wife had to account for every penny he spent!
Undoubtedly, Fu Xiuwen portrayed himself as a henpecked husband, and Qin Yunxi became a harem.
The crowd, who originally knew about the affair between Fu Xiuwen and Pei Miaomiao and wanted to watch the fun, couldn't help but sympathize with Fu Xiuwen when they remembered how Qin Yunxi cut off three fingers without batting an eyelid.
The weather became increasingly hot after the rain. In the early stages, the progress of rushing to the south of the desert was delayed a lot because these once weak prisoners could not walk and many of them fell down due to illness after being caught in the rain.
As the temperature rose, Kong Hu became more and more impatient.
The people below were even more violent and many of the convicts were whipped for walking too slowly.
This kind of irritability has to have a way to vent, and this is where the female prisoners start to suffer.
"You brothers, keep an eye on your women and tell them not to run around..." Fu Ronglang heard the women's screams and the yamen runners' teasing, and he could only remain silent with a frown.
Qin Yunxi sighed and could only take out the silver bills and continue to offer tribute.
But once the situation had begun, things would only get more and more chaotic. In addition to the yamen runners, those strong and healthy fugitives also began to stir.
In addition to the dagger, Qin Yunxi also bought two boning knives specially used for slaughtering pigs at a high price.
After that, during her daily rest time, besides taking care of the children, her favorite thing to do was to sharpen knives.
Looking at the machete that was sharpened to a shine and following Kong Hu's warning, the yamen runner who had originally had some thoughts about the women of the Fu family had to give up.
Let’s not talk about whether these fugitives from the Fu family, who are defined as good citizens, will be punished after they draw their knives, but if they do, they might lose their heads.
Not worth it! Not worth it!
It is not worth giving up hundreds of other women for the sake of these twenty or so women from the Fu family!
There are plenty of women in the convict group!
Unlike the Fu family's tight defense, the Ning family of the Jingguo Mansion next door has more than 200 people, most of whom are women.
Before the accident, the old Duke was still alive and his family had not split up. The Ning family was also a prosperous family. The old Duke alone had seven sons, and each son had at least five or six sons...
The current head of the Ning family, the former prince of the Jingguo Mansion, is only a few years younger than the old lady of the Fu family.
The Ning family believes in having many children and more blessings, so there are quite a few concubines in each room, plus the unmarried female family members...there are really a lot of women!
His family is simply defenseless!
"A tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog! Now the situation has become like this. All families should just protect their wives and daughters. Comfort those concubines. It is better to live a miserable life than to die. Don't let them do stupid things. The people in Mo Nan are open-minded and will definitely not care about those things... When the time comes, the family will give them some dowry so that they can be married off as the main wives..."
The current head of the Ning family lost a lot of his energy overnight, and now looks older than the old lady of the Fu family.
Two concubines with strong tempers died in the Ning family, and the other concubines who were less courageous became like zombies after hearing the news.
Qin Yunxi had just come from a more cruel and chaotic apocalyptic world, so her heart was as hard as iron. Plus, without her special powers, all she could do was to protect herself and her two children.
