Chapter 278 Two people carrying one on their backs
When everyone learned that Baoyu had been cured by the ginseng nourishing pills fed to him by Daiyu, they were all amazed.
Grandmother Jia exclaimed, "They truly are two jade-like children!"
Only Baoyu remained silent, perhaps because the slap from Lin Daiyu had been too much of a shock.
That day, he finally couldn't resist and came to see her privately.
"Lin Daiyu, are you still my Lin Daiyu?"
When Daiyu saw that Jia Baoyu was still acting all lovey-dovey after recovering from his illness, she was furious.
Although there were many reasons for the decline of the Jia family, if Jia Baoyu had been any more ambitious, the Jia family could have survived to some extent. Moreover, he eventually became a monk, completely disregarding the fate of his family and showing no sense of responsibility whatsoever.
So she replied irritably, "How am I not? Just because I slapped you, you hold a grudge against me?"
Jia Baoyu hurriedly explained, "No, I didn't! It's just that pill you gave me, sister..."
"Oh, I got that from somewhere else!"
"Then why didn't you give your older sister some to eat, little sister?" After Jia Baoyu regained consciousness and learned that his older sister was gone, he was also filled with grief and blurted it out.
What could Daiyu say about this? Based on the events in the book and in reality, how could she not have considered whether or not to save her sister Yuanchun?
One reason was the strict security of the palace, which prevented her from passing things in; another was that the Emperor himself did not want Yuan Chun to live.
The four great families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue were all going to be dealt with, and in the power struggle, Yuan Chun naturally had no way out.
Thinking of this, Daiyu didn't care anymore. Anyway, she had already ruined her image. She couldn't save Yuan Chun's life, but at least she had to protect the rest of her sisters.
She told Baoyu everything she knew in one go, and Baoyu felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.
What do you mean they are characters from a storybook? Is he a fictional person?
Daiyu didn't care what Baoyu's feelings were. At that time, she was no less shocked than Baoyu. Besides, Baoyu had already taken the elixir, so his body should be able to withstand it.
Baoyu returned home in a daze, still hearing Daiyu's voice urging him to study hard.
This startled Xiren again. "Second Master, is something wrong with you again?"
"It's alright, I'll lie down for a bit, you can go out now." Baoyu waved his hand.
Xi Ren went out trembling with fear.
Baoyu lay on the couch, his mind filled with Daiyu's words.
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, feeling both shocked and confused.
Daiyu felt much more refreshed. In the past, she carried such a heavy burden alone, but now that she had found someone to share it with, it was indeed much easier.
The next morning, Baoyu seemed like a different person, no longer spending his days thinking about romantic things.
He found many books and began to study them seriously, which surprised everyone.
Baochai came to visit and jokingly asked, "Brother Bao, has your nature changed?"
Baoyu looked at her seriously and said, "Sister Bao, Lin is right. I should be the one to protect you."
Everyone thought that Baoyu was just having a passing interest and would stop playing with it once he got tired of it, so they didn't take it to heart.
Meanwhile, Daiyu was very pleased to see that Baoyu had changed.
"Ah, you told Jia Baoyu about this!" Lin Liuyi was also surprised when he found out.
Good heavens, she's ruined Journey to the West, and now Daiyu is ruining Baoyu. Doesn't this mean Dream of the Red Chamber will have to change too?
The Four Great Classical Novels had indirectly caused Lin Liuyi to ruin half of them, and she couldn't help but cover her face.
"However, it's good that Jia Baoyu is established; at least the fates of your sisters can be changed."
Yes, if it weren't for her sisters with whom she usually played, Daiyu wouldn't bother with Baoyu now.
Both are stones, but look at her Monkey King brother, who is highly skilled in martial arts, kind, and responsible. Then look at Jia Baoyu, this stone, who is said to be a magical jade, yet he is indulging in women all day long. What kind of man is he?
After chatting with Lin Daiyu, Lin Liuyi was urged by the system to write an article again.
"Get rich, I'm just like your working class!" Lin Liuyi complained.
"Host, you're hurting my feelings by saying that. We're splitting the rewards 50/50!"
Lin Liuyi thought about it and realized that what the system said made sense. They were business partners, so she should also get a share of the rewards!
I immediately perked up and wrote a food article. I couldn't help it; I've gained quite a few readers lately, especially since someone even gifted me a spiritual spring. And let me tell you, the vegetables grown with that spring are really delicious.
The system doesn't care what Lin Liuyi writes; it just diligently helps distribute the articles.
Meanwhile, in this new world, a farce is unfolding.
"Mother, I don't want to marry Liu Lao Er!" Wen Xiang cried to her mother.
"Xiang, it's not that your mother is heartless, but Liu Lao Er offered a dowry of six hundred yuan. You know, with that six hundred yuan, your brother will have a job! Your mother is doing this for your own good. You'll have to rely on your brother in the future, won't you?" Wen Xiang's mother advised her.
“That’s right, sister. Liu Lao Er is paying a lot of money. Don’t worry, once I get a job, I’ll definitely take good care of you!” Wen Li also comforted his sister from the side.
Hey, six hundred dollars! With this six hundred dollars, he can buy a job and become a worker!
Now that the educated youth have returned to the city, there's a huge shortage of jobs!
His mother had to ask around for a long time before she found out that someone at the machinery factory was selling a job, saying he wanted to go into business, but the price was high, 1000 yuan!
His mother said the family didn't have that much money. Just then, the older sister who had gone to the countryside returned and caught the eye of Liu Lao Er from the slaughterhouse, who was willing to offer a dowry of 600 yuan.
What a coincidence! This just happens to be the perfect opportunity for him to raise enough money to buy a job, and he even has some left over at home.
Wenli's mother immediately agreed, regardless of how Liu Lao Er's previous wives had died.
Yes, this isn't the first time Liu Lao Er has married a wife; including Wen Xiang, this is his fourth time.
The two old men, Liu and his wife, weren't particularly good-looking, but they had good jobs. They were team leaders at the slaughterhouse, and they lived a comfortable life.
"Xiang, you should prepare well to marry Liu Lao Er. I've already received the betrothal gifts. Tomorrow, I'll take your younger brother to buy a job. Don't worry, if your brother does well, he won't forget you, his older sister."
Wenxiang closed her eyes in despair, knowing she was powerless to resist.
She thought things would get better after she returned from her rural assignment, but to her surprise, her mother wanted her to get married as soon as she got back.
Looking at her younger brother whom she had doted on since childhood, Wenxiang hoped that he could say a word for her.
However, Wenli avoided her sister's gaze and turned to go inside.
The fragrance chilled my heart completely.
Indeed, how could they not know that Liu Lao Er's previous wives had all been driven away by him?
Perhaps this is her fate. Wenxiang resignedly got up from the ground.
