Pei Guochao, who was far away in a dirty, cramped housing compound in Shannan, sneezed several times suddenly.

Chen Wanyu, who was standing next to her and looked quite dusty, frowned in disdain.

He calmly moved the only two dishes on the table to the side.

But she still asked gently and caringly, "Brother Chao, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold? Do you want me to make you a bowl of ginger soup? I don't think we have any ginger at home."

"It's okay, don't worry. I don't have a cold, I just sneezed a few times. I guess someone is talking about me behind my back!"

Pei Guochao was not a superstitious person before.

But after witnessing one unusual change after another regarding Mo Yan in Peijia Village, he couldn't help but believe it.

He was ordered not to return to Peijia Village, and because of his relationship with Chen Wanyu, both of them are now typical unwelcome people in Peijia Village.

Pei Guochao had regrets in his heart.

However, he also knew that regret was useless.

He made all the decisions on his own. Once the arrow is shot, it cannot be retrieved. Once a step is taken, it is difficult to take it back.

Now he can only live a good life with Wanyu.

Fortunately, Wanyu is also a good woman.

Not to mention anything else, just to be with him, Wanyu, a girl, not only suffered a great loss of reputation, but he also asked her family for so much money.

After all, isn't it all because I love him?

So he must also be a man who can take responsibility.

I can't let Wanyu down again.

However, he didn't know what went wrong. After leaving Peijia Village and arriving in the provincial capital, nothing went as he wished.

Because I was suspended from work with pay as soon as I was assigned to a job, I left the armed forces department without getting familiar with the people in the unit.

Fortunately, the house allocated to him in the family compound was not taken back, so he and Wanyu were still allowed to live in it.

His old superior was very disappointed with his choice.

That would have been fine, but later, when Chief Meng Chang went to Peijia Village, he was thrown out by the plants before he could enter the village.

Not only did he fail to make a good impression on Chief Meng, but he also exposed the fact that he got a marriage certificate with Wanyu before divorcing Mo Yan.

Then, within a few days, his boss and the families of other colleagues living in the same compound all knew about his relationship with Wanyu.

For this reason, they were often pointed at and criticized when they went in and out. Those gossipy women would not say any unpleasant words to their faces, but many times, just the picky looks staring at them from behind were enough to make their backs feel hot.

Wanyu cried for several days because of this.

Chen Wanyu's tears finally stopped when Pei Guochao agreed to move out of the family compound and rent another house.

However, before they found a house to move into, a downpour came.

The provincial capital was flooded.

It is estimated that there is no place in Shannan that will not be flooded.

Fortunately, their family compound was a building and their house was on the third floor, so it was barely not flooded.

The people living on the first and second floors had already been rescued and relocated to other places.

Now no one had the time to gossip about them, but their lives became difficult too.

Fortunately, there was still some food and vegetables at home, and I managed to hold on for three or five days.

They waited until the rain stopped, the water receded, and they were finally safe.

God knows these days, Chen Wanyu spends every night in regret and fear.

What she regretted was that since she had been reborn, why did she have to wait for Pei Guochao?

If she hadn't chosen Pei Guochao, she wouldn't be here at all.

Not only do they suffer from constant fear, but they also have to eat poorly and wear poorly.

I was afraid and terrified that the small building in the housing estate might not be strong enough and that the roof might be smashed through by such heavy rain, or that the house might collapse due to huge water bubbles.

Whether it's the house collapsing, being trapped in water, or starving to death, these are things Chen Wanyu doesn't want.

She wondered if the wings of the butterfly that had been reborn could flap so badly?

In her previous life, she didn't remember such heavy rain and floods in Shannan.

Of course, in this life she came to Shannan more than a month earlier than in her previous life.

But it's only been a little over a month, so it shouldn't have caused such a major natural disaster, right?

Everything is different now.

Mo Yan was not dead, and Pei Zaizai did not come to the provincial capital to live with them.

There was a severe flood in Shannan.

What makes Chen Wanyu feel most uneasy is that Pei Guochao in this life took early leave of absence from work with pay to go into business, but up to now, his business has not started yet, and their lives are almost becoming unsustainable.

Forget about ginger at home, even the two dishes on the table are the last remaining food in the house.

Fortunately, the flood has receded and they can go out again instead of being trapped at home waiting to die.

But even if we can go out, there are not many supplies available for everyone to buy in the provincial capital.

There is nothing to eat at the non-staple food stations, grain and oil stations, or even at the small farmers' markets spontaneously formed by the common people.

This flood caused heavy losses in vegetables and livestock.

There is a food shortage throughout Shannan.

With the food coupons, each household could only buy a limited amount of things.

Chen Wanyu only had the life experience from her previous life at hand. If it were a young and arrogant girl, she would have lost control of her temper and would have been distressed or complaining if things had come to this point.

She was the only one who could speak to Pei Guochao gently. Although she mentioned the family's predicament, she did not show any complaints.

No wonder Pei Guochao felt that Chen Wanyu was good to him.

In fact, all her patience was used to cover up the disgust she felt the moment she lowered her head.

After all, Chen Wanyu also knew that she had no better way out at the moment.

She insisted to her family that she wanted to marry Pei Guochao, and she followed him to Shannan without hesitation. They had already obtained a marriage certificate, and she even borrowed a lot of money from her family for him...

All of this declared that in this life, the sunk cost that Chen Wanyu had invested in this man was too high.

If she abandoned him and left now, not only would her image be completely destroyed, but her family would also not accept her back.

It can be said that Chen Wanyu continued to brainwash and hypnotize herself, telling herself that since Pei Guochao had successfully become the richest man in Shannan in his previous life, he would definitely be able to do so in this life, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

Isn’t there a saying that goes like this?

If you don't accompany me when my life is down, who are you to help me when my life is up?

"Brother Chao, maybe Sister Mo Yan and Dong Dong in the village are missing you!?"
