[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

The days in Atlanta seemed full and sweet.

Scarlett hadn't had this peaceful sense of happiness for a long time—the war had already started when she was reborn, and she was spinning like a spinning top to plan for food and money.After returning to Tara, she was worried about production design and her mother's illness, and then the situation in Atlanta was tense. She struggled to pull the lumber factory, and the relationship with Rhett was never clear... Now, these have become a thing of the past.Although Atlanta is still full of traitors, under Rhett's invisible protection, she has not been troubled by those things for a long time.She devotes all her energy to her career, works very hard, and enjoys the sweetness of love in her spare time...Maybe she has never lived such a good life in two lifetimes, Scarlett thought, she will live better in the future Miles!So the smile is even sweeter.

In January, there was great news in the family—little sister Karin was pregnant.Su Ailun and Karin got married together more than half a year ago, but now it's the younger sister who is ahead.People sincerely bless them, Scarlett is also very happy for Will and Karin, but at the same time, she also has to consider the impact of this incident on herself.On this day, she arrived at the sawmill he was looking at now half an hour before Will got off work, flipping through the books.It has to be said that Will Benting is an extremely capable person. The sawmill he looks after earns almost one-third more than the other one!Scarlett waited until Will was going home to explain why she had come.

"Let's go back together." She said with a smile, "I have something to discuss with you, and I'll go see Karin by the way."

Will naturally readily agreed.

-----------------

Will rode, slowing a little to keep up with Scarlett's carriage.The topic of two people being together is of course inseparable from Karin's pregnancy.

"I happened to be away when Catherine went to Aunt Pete's house yesterday," Scarlett said regretfully. "Is she here to see Karin?"

"Yes." Will replied, and he couldn't help but soften his eyebrows when he mentioned his wife, "Ms. O'Hara was also coming over, but because we plan to go back to Tara to raise the baby after a little stability, we let her not work hard." This trip—it was Miss Calvert, she was usually too quiet and thoughtful, and she had a good relationship with Karin, so Mrs. O'Hara asked her to come and accompany Karin for a few days to relax."

"Mom is really thoughtful." Scarlett also thought it was a good idea, but her focus was obviously on the other thing Will mentioned, "So, in a month or two, you and Karin will get back together." Tara?"

"April is almost the time for spring plowing." Will replied truthfully, "I had to go back to help, but Karin still wanted to give birth under the care of her mother... We plan to go back earlier this year."

"Ah." Even though she knew this was the result, Scarlett couldn't help feeling a little regretful, "It's hard to find a good supervisor like you."

Will smiled and didn't answer.

"By the way," Scarlett said again, she turned to look at Will with a very serious tone, "Will, do you still remember the promise I made when I asked you to help me in Atlanta?"

Will was a little surprised at first, and then immediately came back to his senses: "You mean..."

"Yes." Scarlett said, "I've made up my mind. When you and Karin's child is born and you return to Atlanta, I will fulfill my promise—you can buy me this time at a slightly lower market price." Bought a lumber mill."

This is a decision she made after thinking for a long time.

In the beginning, Scarlett persuaded Will to put aside Tara's affairs and come to Atlanta to help her. Although it seems to be a win-win situation in the short term, Will actually suffers in the long run.Therefore, at that time, Scarlett promised to sell him a store as compensation after he helped for a few years.Although at that time the minimum condition agreed by the two was the warehouse, not Scarlett's beloved lumber factory - the profitability of the two was not at the same level.But again, the energy required for the two is not at the same level.

It was a difficult decision for Scarlett to make.But she has already thought about it carefully. Her energy is limited after all, and she cannot take care of all the properties one by one. The shop has spread too much, and it is time to close it.And she's still single now, and when she gets married—well, she doesn't have to pretend to herself that she hasn't finished thinking about marrying Rhett—even if Rhett supports her career after marriage, she must reduce her investment accordingly Energy on the outside.Moreover, Gerald has made it clear that Scarlett will inherit all of Tara, and Karin and Sue Allen will settle in Atlanta for a long time. She is still willing to take care of Will, a hardworking and capable brother-in-law. Help is also worth this sawmill.So even though Scarlett was bleeding, she calmly made this suggestion to Will.

"Scarlett——" Will seemed taken aback, and he subconsciously declined: "It shouldn't—you know how much money the sawmill can make now, I mean, you don't have to worry about me not helping with all my heart..."

"Okay, Will." Scarlett interrupted him, "You must have your own career, right? I've delayed you for two years, that's enough. Besides, Karin is pregnant, it's time for you to think about yourself. "

Will was silent for a moment and said, "It was Tara who saved me back then..."

"But we're family now." Scarlett's green eyes looked at him warmly. "Aren't we?"

Will finally accepted Scarlett's kindness, but he said that he would run the factory well for Scarlett and buy it according to the market price, and he would never take advantage of it.Scarlett let him go.But Scarlett interrupts Will when he says he'll help find the person who saw the sawmill while he and Karin were back at Tara.

"Let me do this myself." She said relaxedly, "My hands have been itchy for a long time."

Will was stunned at first: "How can this work..." Then he couldn't help showing a smile.

Scarlett glared at him: "When you come back, I have a sawmill and a shop left in my hands, which is just enough for me to manage by myself. To be honest, I've had enough and can't go to battle myself! If it wasn't for the fame before— —”

"Yes, yes." Will said with a smile, "but Rhett's reputation has improved a lot now, you don't have to..."

"Who said I was doing it to cooperate with him?" Scarlett said all the words in a hurry, seeing Will just laughing, she couldn't help being annoyed: "Will Benting! You cheated the invitation from me before I haven't settled the matter with you yet about Butler!"

"Ah, that," Will said lightly, and he could see that he was holding back a smile. "I thought you'd be happy to see him at the wedding?"

... Scarlett didn't want to mention that she was really glad to see Rhett, but that was the night they parted!

Well, well, she admits that she has the courage to take care of the sawmill in person now because she has confirmed that Ellen's attitude will not change-and even if Rhett tries to reform himself, his reputation will not be achieved for a while. To the point that a Southern gentleman should be.Under such circumstances, it makes sense for her to "degenerate" and cooperate with the other party a little bit... It makes sense!Why is Will still laughing—

"Wait a minute," Will said suddenly.

Scarlett was bewildered but subconsciously reined in the rein. She looked in the direction of Will's gaze, and couldn't help being taken aback——

Before they knew it, they had almost arrived at Will and Karin's house, just one corner away.From this position they could just see Katherine Calvert standing on the Bentings' lawn, talking to Tommy Wellborn, blushing, across a long wooden fence.Tommy probably just passed by here. He didn't get off his horse, but bent slightly to talk to Catherine, probably greeting Karin's body, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.The blond man was facing them sideways, his figure bent over from the horse and the girl standing on tiptoe formed a beautiful picture scroll for a moment.

Scarlett subconsciously lowered her voice, and whispered to Will, "Maybe, they have some hope?" Catherine has always had a crush on Tommy since she met Tara last time, and Scarlett knew she was a very nice girl, if It may be a good thing for both of them that she gets what she wants.

Will also said softly: "Look."

So the two of them quieted down together, and they didn't talk to each other, as if they were afraid of disturbing the scene.Tommy and Catherine rode away after a few words, but Scarlett couldn't calm down.The past and present of several people appeared in front of her eyes intertwined. She smiled and sighed slightly——No matter what, everyone in this life will be very happy, right?

Really, everything will be fine.For example, Catherine doesn't have to marry the scumbag Jonathan, Fanny doesn't have to suffer the pain of losing her husband when she marries Tony, and Tony doesn't have to suffer the fate of being in exile... Will got his wish and married Karin, and Sue Ellen also married her older boyfriend Frank. After forming a good relationship, Melanie's body improved greatly, Ashley also began to stand on his own, and everyone gained happiness... Maybe she is the only one missing?Scarlett's face fell, and soon she was pumping her fists with vigor.

Decided!Damn Rhett Butler dawdles and she'll call tomorrow, huh.No matter how you look at it, it's his fault, Tara's most beautiful Miss Scarlett, now her sister has children but hasn't married yet... In short, everything is Rhett Butler's fault!Scarlett took a deep breath, and put aside the wicked captain in her heart for the time being, she still wanted to visit Karin now!

——Will watched his wife's sister enter his house with a wry smile, and decided to strengthen communication with Captain Butler.
