Chapter 49 Her Space Can Now Be Used for Farming
Xie Jin left with a dark expression. His face was disguised, so even if such a small emotion was only on the surface, Meng Fuqing had no patience to notice it, let alone the fact that he only looked at Meng Fuqing quietly for a moment before leaving.
She suddenly realized a possibility—
In the future that Meng Linlang foresaw, her uncle was a vampire, her aunt ruined the Meng family's reputation, and her cousin Meng Fuqing pushed her into the water. What the two younger ones did is still unknown. If this were a novel, this family would definitely be cast as villainous cannon fodder.
Meng Linlang, who embodies truth, goodness, and beauty, seems to have been given the female lead's script. What will happen after the protagonist encounters a calamity? She will have a miraculous encounter!
So, did Meng Linlang have a fortuitous encounter? If not, could she have taken advantage of a lucky break?
With this in mind, Meng Fuqing decided to go to the riverbank to take a look after dark.
The fight between Shan Qiyu and her sister-in-law Yuan Qianniang completely exposed the true nature of their discord. When Shan Qiyu returned home, she wanted to pick up her sewing needle again, but she kept getting distracted.
She recalled that when Yuan Qianniang first married into the family, their relationship, while not exactly good, was at least harmonious. It was truly unsightly that things had deteriorated to this point.
After thinking it over, she went to discuss it with Meng Fuqing. Meng Fuqing was feeding the mules when she heard that Shan Qiyu wanted to take some things to Meng Linlang's house. She didn't say anything more.
She wasn't the original, so she didn't care about relatives or sisters-in-law. Shan Qiyu was a native of ancient times, and some relationships couldn't be easily severed.
After taking six eggs and two pounds of brown rice from the kitchen, Shan Qiyu arrived at Meng Linlang's house.
Before even entering the door, he bumped into Meng Cheng'an, who had a stern face.
Having just seen Doctor Zheng off, Meng Cheng'an was surprised that his sister-in-law dared to enter his house. He said coldly, "Sister-in-law, did you come to see how badly your daughter has harmed the two children?"
As soon as Shan Qiyu saw him, she knew it was unlikely that the two of them could have a proper conversation, so she said, "Where is Qianniang? I'm looking for her."
"Aunt, please don't come to my house again. If you insist on coming, don't blame us for giving you a hard time," said Meng He, the second son, as he walked out of the room with a cold expression.
"He'er, go back and check if your brother and sister have a fever!" Yuan Qian's mother came out when she heard the noise at the door.
Meng He gave Shan Qiyu a resentful look, then turned and went into the house.
Dan Qiyu looked at the couple and said, “I have something to say to you. When Meng Shaoyuan was alive, your family did suffer a lot of grievances, but you must understand who made you suffer these grievances and for whom.”
“When I married into the Meng family, Cheng’an, you should know how much dowry I brought. Now it’s all gone and I’m left with nothing but wounds. I’m not saying this to compete with anyone for more grievances, but to say that I believe I have a clear conscience towards you, our parents, and Meng Shaoyuan all these years.”
She handed the things in her hand to Yuan Qianniang, saying, "It's not much, just enough to nourish the two children. From now on, our two families should have no further dealings."
Meng Cheng'an stepped forward and said angrily, "Easier said than done! Qian'er and Linlang are still in bed..."
"Master!" Yuan Qianniang shouted sharply, interrupting Meng Cheng'an's next words.
She said to Shan Qiyu, "When Qian'er and Linlang wake up, I will ask them about it one by one. If it is my child's fault, I will discipline them properly in the future. There is no need for these things."
Shan Qiyu stepped forward and stuffed the things into her arms, saying, "Take them. Consider it even."
When I got home, the meal was already prepared and served.
Meng Fuqing used the Sichuan peppercorns she had picked in the mountains two days prior to stir-fry a plate of Mapo Tofu, braised the pork which had a slightly fishy smell, and finally made a cabbage and egg drop soup.
Two simple dishes and a soup are enough to make the whole family feel comfortable and full.
After the meal, Shan Qiyu said, "From now on, our family will treat your uncle's family the same as before. Just greet them when you see them. There's no need to say anything more. Just don't let others think we're impolite."
The two families only became closer around the time of Meng Shaoyuan's death because of the funeral, and then cooled off because of Meng Linlang, so they can no longer get close at all.
Meng Ranran and Meng Ali also heard about what happened during the day. They felt that even if their eldest sister threw Meng Linlang into the water, it was Meng Linlang who had done something wrong.
Upon hearing that they wouldn't have to deal with their uncle's family, the two had no objections whatsoever.
Meng Fuqing was only surprised for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Hesitation leads to trouble. It's good that Shan Qiyu is so decisive.
At night, Meng Fuqing secretly slipped out of her house and, under the bright moonlight, went to the riverbank.
Looking at the river, Meng Fuqing hesitated for a moment, then pulled the wooden hairpin out of her hair, letting her waist-length hair fall down.
Mobilizing the wood-elemental energy within her body, the ends of her hair gradually changed from jet black to forest green, and rapidly extended downwards until they plunged into the water, with thousands of hair-thin vines beginning to search for their target.
If someone were to witness this scene, they would probably think that a water ghost had climbed out of the river.
However, it must be said that this method is quite efficient.
A moment later, those who had made a catch withdrew, and soon Meng Fuqing had a mountain of fish piled up in front of him.
The fish that Meng Fuqing brought this time were all pierced with vines beforehand, so they could be stored directly in his spatial storage.
After fishing until he was numb, Meng Fuqing still couldn't find what he wanted. In the end, only a vine remained, as if it wanted to run away from home and refused to come back.
Just as Meng Fuqing was contemplating whether to remove it from his scalp, the vine finally slowly retracted.
Under the moonlight, she perked up the moment she saw that splash of red and took the object off the vine.
Lying quietly in her palm was a ring. Meng Fuqing was surprised when she saw the ring. The reason was simple: the ring looked exactly like the blood ring she had obtained in the apocalypse.
Strange, why didn't Meng Linlang take the ring with her when she fell into the water? Could it be that she misunderstood?
She shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about it; as long as she got the item, that was enough.
As if she couldn't wait a moment longer, she brought her finger to her lips and bit it until it bled, the blood dripping onto the dark red gemstone.
After a moment, she looked at the ring that was still in her palm and remained silent.
Could it be that only Meng Linlang's blood would work?
Meng Fuqing frowned slightly and cursed under his breath, "Useless."
With that, she tossed the ring into her spatial storage.
Unexpectedly, the moment the ring entered the space, Meng Fuqing's figure flickered and disappeared by the river.
After a moment of dizziness, Meng Fuqing found himself in a small world.
In the distance, there were continuous mountain peaks. The vast land beneath her feet was barren, but the soil was black with a reddish tinge. A stream meandered in front of her and flowed behind her.
She turned around and was instantly stunned by the scene before her.
Before her stood a Chinese-style villa with its gate wide open. Meng Fuqing walked in and found that the courtyard contained only a steaming hot spring; the rest of the space was bare. Upon entering the hall, she found it crammed with supplies from her spatial storage.
So this huge villa has nothing inside; it's just for storing supplies.
She circled around and came to the back of the villa, where the soil was still barren, unlike the open space in front of the villa. A thin mist, like a wall, defined the area, and the scene behind the mist was not clear.
Meng Fuqing felt reassured. After fulfilling her wish for the destruction of the world, she had another wish fulfilled—that she could grow crops in the space.
Meanwhile, Meng Linlang was struggling in her dream, which was still the scene after she fell into the water. Unlike the first time she dreamed of it, she clearly saw how she obtained the spiritual spring space.
