Li Zhengguo tried to appease her from another angle, "Well, at least you are the true heroine."
Tian Jing was most annoyed by this point, "Hmph! Chen Yao Shi is even planning to replace the heroine."
"What you said, I still don't quite understand, why would he want to replace the heroine?"
Tian Jing pushed her husband away, "Because the world of the book needs a male and female lead, or a male lead without a romantic partner, or a female lead without a romantic partner."
"You also said with certainty that I am the protagonist. If the protagonist dies, this world will collapse."
"I suspect I am about to die. The transmigrated Chen Yao Shi wants to live, which is why he's thinking of using Xiao Wei's other daughter to replace me."
Li Zhengguo clenched his wife's hand, "That won't happen, absolutely not. We've already seen the synopsis, and we definitely won't follow the path set by the author."
Tian Jing, now completely calm, leaned quietly against her husband's shoulder.
"Now, the most important thing is, I need to continue being pregnant and give birth to your third son, thus cutting off the source of your infidelity."
Li Zhengguo quickly raised his hand and swore, "Don't you know my heart? If I dare to do anything to wrong you, then may I be..."
Tian Jing impatiently covered her husband's mouth, "You dare to swear here? You are the male lead, if you die, we all have to be buried with you."
"Hmph! You cheated, and were killed by the rules, I don't want to die. I still want to live happily with the children, I want to find many young male stars, and I... woo woo woo..."
Tian Jing's subsequent words were forcefully interrupted by her husband's kiss.
Tian Jing angrily stomped on her husband's toes, only to be released.
The sky was so dark, the path ahead was blocked, and the path behind was shrouded in mist. The couple simply didn't rush anymore.
They sat down at this dead end, discussing how to deal with the situation.
...
Down the mountain, it had already descended into chaos.
Because it got dark, Mother Li couldn't wait for her younger son and daughter-in-law to return.
Her granddaughter cried for her mother, so she anxiously took her three grandsons to find her eldest son.
Her husband was tired after a day's work, but Mother Li didn't feel sorry for him; Ouyang Meihua did.
She said she would go up the mountain alone, it would be faster.
Although Ouyang Meihua couldn't be as fast as Tian Jing, she wasn't slow. A round trip to Laoyingzui took three to four hours.
It was eleven o'clock at night when she finally came down the mountain and told her mother-in-law that no one was at Laoyingzui, so how could it not be chaotic?
Mother Li, while coaxing her granddaughter, waited for her younger son and daughter-in-law to return quickly.
But she waited until dawn, and neither her younger son nor her daughter-in-law returned.
Both shocked and frightened, she listened to her granddaughter cry and couldn't help but cry along.
Ouyang Meihua came over and saw a scene of an old woman and three children crying.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Li wiped away a tear, "I'm worried, Lili's crying makes me flustered and heartbroken."
Ouyang Meihua was also speechless, "Mom, don't you know my sister-in-law's martial arts skills? Something must have trapped her."
"Otherwise, she wouldn't have been unable to return. You hurry and manage the household, don't let the villagers think something happened to the family. Do their mouths speak good words?"
Ouyang Meihua took her niece and roughly wiped away her tears.
"Your mom and dad must be busy with something important, can't you be more sensible?"
Little Miss Li Weili pouted aggrievedly, "Auntie, I miss them."
"Miss Mom and Dad?"
"Mhm."
"When they come back, Auntie will scold them. You be good and don't fuss."
Little Miss Li Weili quickly shook her head, "No, scold."
"Alright, no scolding. Don't cry, if you cry and fuss, I'll scold them."
"No, cry."
Little Miss Li Weili sobbed and wiped her own tears, but her thick cotton coat made her short arms unable to reach.
Seeing her aunt about to wipe her sister's tears with her hand again, Li Weihao quickly picked up a handkerchief from his sister's outer coat and gently wiped her tears.
Ouyang Meihua poked his forehead, "Since you can take care of your sister, why are you crying with Grandma?"
"I miss Mom and Dad too. I, I can't feel them."
"Nonsense, they aren't in the village, of course you can't feel them. Besides, they've gone into the deep mountains?"
Li Weihao didn't explain this blood connection to his boisterous aunt. He just wished his parents would come back soon.
...
As dawn broke, Tian Jing, nestled in her husband's arms, opened her eyes, "I wonder what's happening down the mountain?"
"They must be worried. Let's head out first. When the sun comes out at noon and the thick fog disperses, we'll seize the opportunity to leave."
"Mm."
Waiting with eager eyes until the sun was directly overhead, the couple stepped onto the ground that had closed its seams and emerged from the woods.
When their feet landed on the thick white snow, they felt a sense of passing through a lifetime.
Li Zhengguo pulled his wife's hand, "Let's go home first. Next time we come in, we'll ask Xiao Song if he wants to come in."
"Mm-hmm, home. Speaking of which, my heart feels uncomfortable again. That synopsis implies your third son is right beside you."
"With your personality, if you could have left that child, it must have been your mother who influenced it."
"Mother-in-law, only her husband belongs to her alone. Her sons can belong to anyone, or to many people."
Li Zhengguo squeezed the small hand in his, "Don't speculate about what hasn't happened. My third son will definitely be born to you."
Hmph!
Tian Jing snorted lightly and led her husband down the mountain.
Changing the subject, she warned, "Don't let me catch you, and you'll be sentenced to death."
...
Even though Mother Li had no appetite, she still had to consider the three children.
Li Weihao helped his younger siblings with the fire, while Li Min held her youngest son and pestered him about where her older brother and sister-in-law had gone.
"Mom, tell me the truth, where did my older brother and sister-in-law go? Someone said you were crying early this morning, what were you crying about?"
Mother Li threw down the water ladle, "Are you annoying me? Go back to your own home and cook."
"Suo Zhu is doing it."
"Marrying a wife like you, Suo Zhu is truly unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"Mom~ Why are you talking about me like that? Little sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law also don't cook, why don't you say anything about them?"
"Get out!"
Mother Li impatiently asked her daughter, "During your return visit three days after marriage, who knelt before me and took back their word?"
Li Min was unconvinced, "Mom, even if you're biased, you should be biased towards your own daughter! How can you be biased towards others? Old news from a few years ago... uh."
Li Min, whose back was to the kitchen door, was picked up. She twisted her neck.
"Little brother? Little brother, it's great that you're back. They all said..."
"Shut up!"
Li Zhengguo's face was icy cold, "Li Min, I solemnly warn you, don't ever come back to this parental home."
"Why?"
"Want to know why? Fine, I'll tell you. I heard everything you said clearly on your return visit."
"We also heard everything you just said, your sister-in-law and I."
"Outsiders? Heh heh, since your sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law are outsiders, then we shouldn't involve outsiders like you in making money together."
"Tell Suo Zhu to settle the accounts. After the accounts are separated, you can be close with whoever you want."
"From now on, you'll go grow seedlings yourselves. Don't you like listening to them? "
"Since you get along so well with them, then share their joys and sorrows. We here are all outsiders."
"I will also tell eldest brother that using the car will be like other villagers."
"We will no longer tolerate you, you ungrateful wolf, get out!"
Li Zhengguo said as he dragged his sister out of the courtyard. If it weren't for his nephew An'an, he would have thrown her out.
"Bang!"
The gate of her parental home was forcefully shut in front of her. Li Min, who had been thoroughly scolded by her younger brother, finally came to her senses.
Did her younger brother hear what she said on her return visit?
Was this the reason her younger brother was increasingly impatient with her?
She, she really just said it casually.
On her return visit, Mom was being petty.
Today, little brother was also being petty.
She hadn't even asked her little brother and sister-in-law where they had gone.
