Happiness System

After the storm, everyone felt like they had been reborn.

When Meng Yuxi woke up, the wind and waves outside were still quite strong.

She opened the window and looked, then turned back to Xiao Xia and said, "Take the fishing net and go fishing!"

"Ah?" Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment, "Madam, are there any fish?"

Meng Yuxi nodded, but was still dragged to eat and go up to the deck.

As the saying goes, the bigger the waves, the more fish there are, and there is some truth to this.

They cast two nets in a row and both broke. If there was no sun and they couldn't store the fish, the guards would have continued casting nets.

"Madam, the fish today are all good and plump!" Xiao Xia looked at the sky, "It's a pity that the weather is not good. If the sun came out, we could dry some fish!"

Meng Yuxi looked at her with amusement, "I can't even finish the fresh ones, and you're still thinking about eating dried ones?"

She shook her head. "It's going to rain. Ask someone to prepare tarpaulins to store water!"

"Hey!"

Xiao Xia didn't ask much. It was normal for it to rain since the sky wasn't clear.

I heard there was a big storm the day before yesterday and it also brought heavy rain, but unfortunately everyone was too busy to collect fresh water.

They don’t know how long they will be drifting on the sea, and fresh water resources are very precious!

If they cannot get supplies on rainy days, they will have to use seawater for distillation, which will consume other energy.

In short, all materials need to be carefully calculated!

After fishing, Meng Yuxi did not stay for long. She went to see the vegetables and fruit trees she planted, and input some supernatural powers to have people move the planting racks out.

Half an hour later, it really started raining.

The rain lasted for three days and the temperature dropped a little.

When everyone thought it was going to get very cold, the temperature actually remained at a comfortable 20 degrees.

When the sky cleared up, the women from each family went up to the deck to get some fresh air and counted the large ships on the sea with great interest.

"Sixteen ships, not one missing, that's great!"

To be honest, the number of people on their ship is less than a thousand, which makes it the ship with the least number of people. The other ships have thousands or even tens of thousands of people on board.

The refugees are like pigs, living in a small warehouse with no sunlight...

But there is still a glimmer of hope if we can leave Luli Continent.

Life at sea is indeed more dull and boring than life on land, especially for these former rich ladies, life is extremely boring.

At the beginning, they would use the skills of music, chess, calligraphy and painting that they had learned before to compete with each other, but later they found it boring and focused only on the matters between men and women.

The Meng family is a scholarly family and has never been wealthy. Most of the Meng family members are stubborn and rarely spend money on women. In addition, the family has fallen into poverty and has to save money, so they have no habit of taking concubines, and the backyard is relatively stable.

The Wen family is even worse. They have had few offspring for generations, and Wen Yujin is a widower. His parents died early, leaving him alone...

But the two families that shared the boat with the Wen family were different.

The King of Kang has one wife, three concubines, and several maids without official status. He has more than a dozen children. His eldest son, the Crown Prince of Kang, is only in his early twenties and has one wife, one concubine, and two maids...

The Lin family is a newly rich family that has only become rich in the past ten years. They have fewer concubines and maids, but Mr. Lin has a stepmother who is ten years older than him. The stepmother gave birth to many brothers and sisters who are only a few years older than his children...

His old man had been very ill before the famine. His stepmother was a troublemaker, and the old man was afraid that his young wife would cause trouble for his son, so he took her with him when he left.

In short, the family did not split up, and the burden fell on Mr. Lin.

Everyone's food on the ship is distributed uniformly, and there is no distinction between good and bad food. The masters do not have two kinds of food, so there is nothing to earn.

Women can’t make new clothes or jewelry. The clothes and jewelry they wear are all old ones. They can’t compare...

So we can only compare whose man loves us more...

There are also those young boys and girls who are together day and night, so it is inevitable that they will develop feelings of admiration for each other, and jealousy is not uncommon.

The two hostesses had a headache dealing with the lawsuit.

After the headache, I naturally have some thoughts...

The ladies of both families were reluctant to marry their daughters to illegitimate sons or those from side branches, so the brothers of the Meng family were chosen and became rich sons-in-law!

Although the Meng family are relatives who are staying with us, the Wen family has plenty of space for their young master!

Unlike them and their in-laws and relatives, who number about a hundred people, crowded together and making a lot of noise!

"Marriage?" Meng Yuxi was also shocked when she heard these tentative words. "Isn't this bad? There are no conditions for marriage! Isn't it too hasty?"

The Meng family has not yet split up. It doesn't matter if it comes to her own brothers and sisters, her father can make the decision. But for her two cousins, their grandparents and biological parents are all alive and well. It would be difficult for her father, an uncle, to make the decision, right?

It would be fine if she married her well, but if she didn't, wouldn't her father be blamed to death by her brother and sister-in-law?

"What's wrong with that? In my opinion, now is just the right time! You see, they are of the same age, and we have enough supplies right now... To put it bluntly, even if we reach the New World, before we have established a firm foothold, our conditions may be worse than they are now!"

Princess Kang enumerated a host of advantages of getting married now, the only thing being that the New World was a long way off and the children were already two years old and it was not easy to delay any longer.

Another concern was the fear that he might not live to reach the New World. Da Qi was particular about unmarried men and women, and was most afraid that unmarried children would die.

"Let me ask my father and brothers what they think. It's not easy to force them!"

Princess Kang persuaded Meng Yuxi, but Meng Yuxi didn’t want to get involved in these things at all!

She went back and told Wen Yujin about this first. Wen Yujin had the same opinion. They would not interfere in other people's marriages, but if the uncles were willing and wanted to marry the girls from those two families, they could sponsor some things during the wedding!

Only after the discussion did Meng Yuxi go to find her father and brothers. Her three brothers were all over 20 years old, but they were still shy and at a loss when it came to their marriage.

In the end, the three families pooled some supplies together and held a large blind date banquet. Meng Shijin was favored by Mu Yao, the legitimate daughter of Princess Kang. Meng Shisong and Mu Xian, the legitimate daughter of Prince Kang's brother, fell in love with each other. Meng Shibin and Lin Qianqian, the legitimate daughter of Lord Lin, fell in love with each other.

The Kang Palace and the Lin family also got married, and there were also several couples among the collateral relatives.

The Feng Shui master at Prince Kang's palace calculated a time and held a collective wedding for them at an auspicious time three days later.

When the date was set, Meng Yuxi asked someone to pick out some things and put them in front of everyone.

"Dad, brothers, although everything is kept simple, we can't just treat it badly. This is what I found, divided into three parts, just consider it as an advance gift from your sister!"

"Third and fourth brothers, don't blame me for being partial to fifth brother. He is my biological brother. My father will rely on fifth brother and his wife to serve him in the future. I should be more supportive of them."

The things she prepared included dried meat, dried seafood, fine grains, fresh vegetables, some snacks, a piece of red cloth for making clothes, and a piece of jewelry.

This was extremely simple in the past, and any slightly wealthy family could afford these betrothal gifts. But now it has been two years since the famine, and most families have lost at least half of their belongings. These things are very decent now.

Meng Shijin and the others were naturally embarrassed to accept these things. They were also a little at a loss. In the end, it was because they had not thought it through carefully enough.

In the end, Meng Yiyun decided to accept it, and after his daughter left, he began to set rules for his son and nephew.

“Ordinarily, marriage should be decided by your parents and grandparents, but even though Princess Kang and Madam Lin are the matchmakers, you are the ones who decide.

Manage your own life well in the future. You choose your wives yourself, and you can’t blame others for whether your life is good or bad.

Especially your sister..."

The three of them broke into a sweat and said they didn't dare.

In fact, they also feel that they have done something wrong, but they do not regret it.

They are both in their early twenties. They should have been married before fleeing the famine. Now they are eating dog food from their sister and brother-in-law every day. They are both hot-blooded boys. Who can resist it!

After giving his son and nephew a lecture, Meng Yiyun smiled and took his son and nephew to deliver the betrothal gifts to each family.

Of course, what they sent was not only what Meng Yuxi had prepared. The old lady might have been worried that her grandson would fall in love with another girl on the boat, so she prepared some things.

There was nothing else but some silver and jewelry, which were useless in those days.

But if they are kept well and wait until they reach the New World, if the New World is really as they expected, these things will probably be circulated soon.

Neither the Kang Palace nor the Lin family had expected that the Meng family was so polite. They accepted the things with a polite smile.

Those who depended on the two families were somewhat unhappy. Everyone had originally agreed not to give betrothal gifts or dowries, but you did this?

The Meng family didn't care about that. Taking advantage of the good weather, they quickly cleaned several rooms and washed and dried the beds...

On the wedding day, everything was kept simple. The groom picked up the bride, they worshipped on the deck and then sent her back to the bridal chamber. Then the rest of the people had a lively meal together and the wedding was over.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and what Meng Yuxi worried about finally happened.

There was a real shortage of supplies on the ship, not even contraceptive soup, and life was really boring. Everyone was just trying to make babies, and the women became pregnant one after another.

The three sisters-in-law of the Meng family were also infected one after another.

Meng Yuxi was very worried. They would encounter one or two storms at sea every month, some serious and some minor. Now there were only twelve ships left out of the sixteen.

Who knows whether those four ships sank or lost their way!

It is really not suitable to get pregnant at sea. It is difficult to keep the fetus in a storm, and feeding the baby after birth is even more difficult!

There is still a saying here that pregnancy cannot be disclosed before three months.

Ever since Meng Yuxi was covered in smoke during the first storm, she basically stayed in her room during subsequent storms.

By the time the three sisters-in-law became pregnant, they were already three months pregnant.

But she is too lazy to worry about it. She doesn't even take care of her own body. What can she say?

Before getting married, Meng Yuxi also told her brothers that it would be best not to cause any deaths. If they did not love their wives, what did it have to do with her, their married sister?
