Happiness System

"Brother Jin, it's been almost a year! We've been in the sea for almost a year, and we've been away from Tianyuan City for more than three years. When do you think we will reach the New World?"

Meng Yuxi stared at the still endless sea, feeling three parts confused and seven parts numb.

Wen Yujin stood beside her with a determined look on his face, "It shouldn't be far away, we will definitely reach the new world!"

The Wen family still had nearly half of their supplies, and everyone was in good health, so he wasn't very anxious.

However, most of the supplies of the Mu and Lin families have been consumed. Due to the huge consumption, they even dealt with all the horses and only had two left. Recently, the heads of the two families were so anxious that their mouths were foaming.

Unfortunately, the Wen family was unable to help.

The total number of people in the Wen family is less than two hundred, while both of their families have nearly four hundred people, which is twice as many as the Wen family.

It’s not that the Wen family is arrogant. In terms of numbers, they are definitely not as good as the Mu and Lin families. But in terms of strength and materials, those two families are definitely not as good as the Wen family!

Recently, people in the Wen family dare not go out and talk about what they eat, for fear of being put in a sack by the jealous people from the Mu and Lin families.

Meng Yuxi also became much more low-key and no longer went to the deck to barbecue or have hotpot.

In fact, she has been quite worried recently. The bellies of her three sisters-in-law are getting bigger and bigger, and she is quite worried that they will give birth prematurely or something.

Yes, three! After being looked down upon by the Mu family, Mu Xian finally learned to bow her head.

She promised her grandparents that she would look after her cousin, so she naturally couldn't just leave him alone, but that was all she could do.

Naturally, Mu Xian's treatment and status were not as good as Mu Yao and Lin Qianqian's, and even Meng Shisong, her cousin who didn't know how to discipline his wife, was lower in status.

When Mu Xian just came back, she wanted to protest and make some noise, but after being starved for two meals, she calmed down.

Mrs. Mu had originally hoped that her daughter could get some things from the Wen family, but who knew that Mu Xian couldn't even protect herself, let alone enter the Wen family's territory.

Meng Yuxi doesn't recognize Madam Mu as her relative at all!

Mrs. Mu was extremely angry but there was nothing she could do.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather became extremely hot again.

Meng Yuxi is used to sitting on the deck every afternoon, tending to her vegetable garden and watching the sunset and taking a breath of fresh air.

When she saw the pregnant women from the Mu and Lin families, she was really scared.

It should be said that anyone who is surrounded by a few skinny and yellow guys with big bellies and dim eyes, looking at people like starving ghosts looking at a plate of braised hotpot... any normal person would be scared, right?

Mu Yao and other pregnant women were even more miserable. As soon as they went out, they were caught by those sisters. If they disagreed with them, they would kneel down and cry and use moral blackmail. They were so scared that they dared not even go out.

"Brother Jin, are the Mu and Lin families in a bad situation? I saw the women over there... they are terribly thin!

It shouldn't be this bad. Didn't we say that we should prepare at least one year's worth of food?

The horses have been basically dealt with, and there are often seafood supplies. Although the vegetable garden does not produce much, it can still be counted as a contribution..."

Meng Yuxi was really puzzled. Princess Kang and Madam Lin did not look like the kind of people who were all show and no substance but could not manage the household.

"They have many masters and a large population at home, and they are hungry on land. So when they are at ease on the ship, they naturally want to nourish their bodies.

This one eats a little more, that one eats a little more, they are all relatives, for the sake of peace, the housekeeper can only turn a blind eye, and by the time you start to pay attention it will be too late..."

Wen Yujin was also speechless about those two families, but it was not impossible for the couple to talk about those things in private.

"How horrible! Fortunately, our family didn't take in these messy relatives!"

Now Meng Yuxi was speechless. That’s it?

Just like that, he was inexplicably bankrupted by his children and relatives and in-laws?

"It's hard to guard against thieves in your own home!" Wen Yujin held her hand, "If it were Madam, you would definitely do better than them!"

Meng Yuxi smiled, "If it were me, I wouldn't have taken these people in from the beginning! I know what kind of relatives I have, and it's hard to change one's nature. You can pretend for a while, but not forever!

I would rather be scolded, ridiculed and spurned by the outside world than go into these troubles!

No, I’m in a lot of trouble right now!”

She pointed at the Meng family's elder brother and said, "I should have sent those ancestors to be my sons-in-law from the beginning!"

Wen Yujin smiled and shook his head, "You're just being stubborn!"

For a family like theirs, if they become a live-in son-in-law, they won’t be afraid of being laughed at!

Knowing what had happened to the women in his family, Wen Yujin didn't think of negotiating with the heads of the Mu and Lin families.

Maybe they are just waiting for you to negotiate so that they can take the opportunity to bite a piece of meat off of you!

The old carpenter they found was really capable. When the idea of ​​dividing the area into three parts was first proposed, the old carpenter had already reserved three private exits for them.

It's not a big deal at this moment. Just open the exit on their side, then ask the carpenter to build the prepared wood, and arrange people to guard it!

After the exclusive exit was built, Meng Yuxi blinked, "Brother Jin, I really want to reach the New World as soon as possible! I feel like I've been stuck on the ship for a while! I even forgot about this exit!"

She was still thinking about the pregnant women hanging around over there. Should she scare them away or stay at home?

They completely forgot that there was another exit and they could have easily avoided the people over there!

Wen Yujin hugged her and looked at the sea with a smile on his face, "It's my fault. I should have opened this exit when we boarded the ship!"

In fact, it was not that he had forgotten, but he was afraid that his wife would become complacent and bored. He thought that Princess Kang and Madam Lin were pretty good people and wanted to have more contact with them.

Princess Kang and Madam Lin are indeed nice, but the other female members of the two families are too bad.

Wen Yujin felt a chill when he thought of the two women's shameless offer of themselves for sex.

Those women are not even one-tenth as good as his wife. They are so vulgar and common. How could he possibly be interested in them when there are so many pearls and jades in front of him!

After chatting for a while, Wen Yujin whispered, "Xier, hold on a little longer, we may soon reach the New World!"

Meng Yuxi looked at him in surprise: "Any news?"

Wen Yujin shook his head. "Not really any news, but Xier, didn't you notice that the recent storms have calmed down a bit? And..."

Meng Yuxi thought about it carefully and sighed, "These days are a bit numb. I haven't done 'calculation' for a long time!"

"Xi'er, just be patient and wait, we will be able to live a normal life soon!"

Wen Yujin knew what she meant by "calculation" and couldn't help laughing.

Meng Yuxi was in the mood to joke with him now. "I heard that people who stay on the boat for too long will not be able to adapt when they land. Brother Jin, do you think we will become weak shrimps when we go ashore and won't even be able to walk?"

Wen Yujin looked at her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we will learn to walk again slowly, and then your husband won't laugh at you, and Xier won't laugh at your husband either."

"Madam, it's bad, it's bad, madam!"

Xiao Qiu ran up in a hurry, her face still in shock, "Madam, Fourth Uncle's wife is in labor, she's going to give birth!"

Meng Yuxi and Wen Yujin looked at each other and put away the smiles on their faces, "I'll go take a look!"

It's no wonder that Xiaoqiu was panicking. The women from the Mu and Lin families have been experiencing miscarriages and premature births in the past few months. Among the babies born, only one girl survived so far, and the rest died.

Come to think of it, Lin Qianqian’s baby wasn’t born prematurely, so the situation shouldn’t be that bad.

Meng Yuxi arranged the delivery arrangements in an orderly manner.

Wen Yujin listened to her calm voice and watched her walk away, but did not follow her.

As a cousin's husband, it is not appropriate for him to be there.

"Is the hot water ready?"

"Have you informed Mrs. Lin?"

"Have you taken out the things you prepared earlier?"

Meng Yuxi is a sister-in-law, and it's really speechless how she manipulates the old nanny's heart.

After explaining everything one by one, she saw the Mu sisters standing there nervously and fearfully. She frowned and looked at her two brothers with dissatisfaction.

"Third brother, fifth brother, please stop getting in the way and take your two sisters-in-law to the vegetable garden. The cucumbers and tomatoes in the garden are ripe..."

Meng Shisong and Meng Shixu finally reacted and immediately helped their wives away with the maid.

As soon as they left, Mrs. Lin came over and asked, "How is my Sissi?"

Giving birth has always been a huge hurdle for women, especially in such a harsh environment, where it is a life-threatening situation.

To be honest, Mrs. Lin now admires Meng Yuxi a little. She said she would not have children and she really did not want to have them. She is independent-minded and cherishes life.

There is really nothing good about people like them who are trapped in their own web. Among the mothers who gave birth, not only did the babies die, but two mothers also died of complications during childbirth, one from the Mu family and one from the Lin family.

There is no condition to incinerate or store the body in this environment, so it can only be thrown into the sea... leaving only a set of worn clothes. After arriving in the New World and settling down, we will find a way to make a cenotaph.

In years of famine, human life is very cheap!

At least they are just tightening their belts. I heard that cannibalism was seen on some ships.

Mrs. Lin was worried and couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

"Mrs. Lin, the baby is in the right position, so it's fine. First babies usually have slower labor. She just started having labor not long ago. Please come over and have a cup of tea."

Meng Yuxi also understood her thoughts as a mother, and smiled and asked someone to bring tea and snacks.

Madam Lin was also a little embarrassed. She walked over and smiled awkwardly, "Look, I'm not as steady as Madam Wen. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Mrs. Lin loves her daughter dearly, it's only natural!"

Xiao Xia, Lin Qianqian's maidservant and the midwife brought by Madam Lin were inside, so Meng Yuxi was not worried about what was inside.

He sat outside and chatted with Mrs. Lin casually.

Lin Xixi was in good condition. She even ate a whole bowl of noodle soup during the labor pains...

Mrs. Lin did not hear her daughter's wailing, and as she chatted and ate snacks, she gradually felt relieved.

When her hand found nothing, she realized that she had finished all the other person's snacks, and her face turned red.

You have no sense of propriety!

Such fine food can’t be bought with a fortune these days, but she actually finished a whole plate of snacks!

But she hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time, so it felt really good!

Noticing Mrs. Lin's embarrassment, Meng Yuxi glanced at Xiaoqiu, who immediately and calmly removed the empty plate and quickly brought up a small plate of honeydew melon.
