Chapter 18 Asking about the situation

"That's only because Dalang is smart. Look at my son, who went to school with Dalang, and he's still herding cattle! He's such a good-for-nothing!"

"That eldest son is known throughout the surrounding villages as having the potential to become the top scholar, while your son is known throughout the surrounding villages as someone who only sleeps in class. When the teacher asks a question, he always answers, 'I didn't sleep!'"

"Haha..." A burst of laughter filled the main room.

Seeing that the Pei family had started their meal, they reluctantly headed back.

In the end, the village chief got drunk and was sent back by Pei Yuanjun.

The village head was escorted out of the courtyard by Pei's father before walking back home on his own.

The crowd dispersed, and it was already dark.

Qi Yunran slept fully clothed with Xiao Jingxuan, planning what job she should do after receiving the divorce papers, and also how to register Xiao Jingxuan's household registration.

Then send him to the town school.

Then we need to buy some fertile land to grow vegetables and other things for them to eat.

To make money, she wanted to grow datura, which has a wide range of medicinal uses; its leaves, roots, and flowers can all be used in medicine.

It has excellent anesthetic effects and is used to make the ancient anesthetic powder, Mafeisan.

She used to grow datura mostly with her mentor. They were experienced and the prices were quite good.

We also need to go to the town's clinic to inquire about Mafeisan (a type of anesthetic), whether it's still available in this era, and calculate whether growing it can make money.

Qi Yunran was asleep, but the Pei family's house was brightly lit.

Pei's parents were a little intimidated by Pei Yuanjun's suddenly serious face. Why was their eldest son's gaze so frightening all of a sudden? It made them both very cautious and afraid to move.

"Big... Brother, what's wrong?"

Pei Yuanjun's eyes swept over them, sharp and piercing: "Where is Qi Yunran?"

"Big... Brother, why are you asking her? Did you hear something from someone else? Who was it? I'm going to tear her mouth apart and make her spout nonsense."

Pei Yuanjun gave her a sharp look, and Pei's mother, Wang, shut up.

"Eldest son, did you run into Qi Yunran on your way back?" Pei Hongwen, Pei's father, asked in a low voice. "Yes!"

This can be considered an answer.

"I knew it was that little bitch who had too much of a mouth. Don't listen to her nonsense!" Wang immediately protested.

“You don’t know, ever since you went to the capital, she’s been showing her true colors as a lazy bum at home. Not only does she not do any work, she forces my mother and father to do it, otherwise she won’t give me any food. Look at my mother’s hands, they’re all calloused.”

Pei's mother stretched out her hand, and Pei Yuanjun looked at her plump, white hand. There was a blister on her palm from using a hoe.

Then I thought of Qi Yunran's thin and dark-skinned body.

Suddenly, a storm gathered in his eyes.

"Originally, I came back this time to take my parents to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury, but seeing how you've been mistreating my wife, you can stay in this town! I'll take Yunran to the capital."

"Dalang, we are your biological parents! How could you treat us like this?"

"Didn't you treat my wife the same way? You even kicked her out."

Wang immediately retorted, "That's because she had the plague and that's why I kicked her out. Brother, you wouldn't just stand by and watch that little slut infect us, causing me and your father to die, would you?"

"Yes! Dalang, do you even care about us anymore? Do you even know who your parents are?"

A cold glint flashed in Pei Yuanjun's eyes. No wonder his little wife said she wanted to dump him.

First they said she was a jinx to her husbands, then she was kicked out because she contracted the plague.

It's easy to imagine what the villagers will say about her and her.

How much suffering has the wife endured?
No wonder she pretended not to know him as soon as she came back and tried to distance herself from him.

I felt heartbroken by what Pei's mother and father did.

"Mother said that Qi Yunran is lazy and gluttonous, and forced you and Father to do chores."

"But what I see is that my mother is healthy and strong, and my father is carefree! But my young wife is thin and dark from being tanned. Why is that? Mother, can you explain it to me?"
