The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

After the business got on track, I was not so busy, and then a girl appeared in front of me.

This girl seemed to have come here specifically to meet me. "Mr. Pei, I've heard of your name for a long time. Since this is our first meeting, I wonder if you would do me the honor of inviting me to Huazhao Tower for a meal and to discuss some business."

"Then Pei will respectfully obey your command." In fact, this was not the first time I saw her.

When I first arrived in Jiangnan, I was almost hit by a man on horseback on the street. It was this Mr. Mei who pulled me up. However, Mr. Mei seemed to have something urgent to do at that time, so he ran away after pulling me up, and he didn't even hear me say thank you.

She didn't recognize me because my appearance then was very different from now.

I discussed a business deal with Mr. Mei in a restaurant. Actually, I don't think I am the only one who can do this business. I don't seem to be the most suitable partner. It's good for me, but it can't bring the greatest benefits to the Mei family.

But I still went along, because I wanted to see what this boss Mei wanted to do, and I also wanted to see more of her.

After that, Mr. Mei met me many times on the pretext of business matters. Sometimes, even if I felt that the matter was not so important that it had to be met as a family, I never refused once.

I always look forward to the next meeting. After asking me out a few times, Mr. Mei said that he liked me.

My mind was in a mess at the time, and my heart was full of joy. But when I met Mei's eyes, I did not see the deep affection I had imagined. Her eyes were calm, and she did not look pleased with me at all.

At that time, I just felt a stream of water hitting my brain, and all the excitement and chaos were washed away in an instant.

She lied to me, I knew it clearly, but I would rather not know and be a person who deceives myself. I rejected her. I don’t want to be trapped in someone’s superficial affection like my mother before.

Mrs. Mei was not angry because of my rejection. Instead, she showed disappointment for a moment, and then said solemnly that she wanted to pursue me and would definitely get my consent to marry her.

I didn't know how to reply to her, so I left her and went away. But deep down I was actually expecting her to pursue me.

She really did what she said. After that, she came to me every day and gave me things she thought I would like. Sometimes I was shaken and wanted to agree to her.

But every time I looked into her eyes, I woke up.

Until one time when I was going to the suburbs to do some business, rocks suddenly rolled down the mountain road, the horse lost control and wanted to rush off the cliff with me.

When I thought I was finally going to die, Merulu appeared and, like the people in a storybook, took me out of the carriage.

I only had some scratches, but Merulu's arm was broken due to the force of jumping out of the car with me.

Maybe I had an epiphany at the moment of life and death, and I suddenly felt relieved. So what if she didn't have me in her eyes, it was true that she wanted to marry me.

I believe that as I accompany her for a long time in the future, she will always have me in her eyes.

We have a lifetime together.

After this incident, I asked her if she was still willing to marry me. Merulu didn't seem to react, but soon she nodded.

I said that I would ask someone to propose marriage to her after we recovered from our injuries, and she agreed. The moment she agreed, I was really immersed in joy.

My injury was not serious. When she was recovering, I had someone prepare food for her every day and delivered it to her personally. I looked forward to her getting better soon.

As soon as Merulu recovered from her injury, I asked someone to propose marriage to her. Since neither of us had any elders, I found someone to tell the fortune and set the wedding date. After that, I counted the days on my fingers every day.

I used to think my mother was stupid, but now I think I am as stupid as my mother.

I basically go to Mei's house to deliver something every other day. Well... I want to see him while delivering things.

According to custom, the newlyweds cannot see each other a few days before their wedding. I feel like I'm sick. I think of her when I eat, I dream about her when I sleep, and I think of her when I do things. I might be crazy.

On our wedding night, I asked her if she liked me, she nodded, and I saw my reflection in her eyes. This moment made me happier than when I got married.

It’s great that I like her and she likes me too. I’m not in love with her alone, we are in love with each other.

One day after we got married, I asked her why she said she wanted to marry me when she didn’t like me at that time.

She didn't lie to me and said that the Mei family's situation at that time was supported by her, and she didn't have the energy to keep dealing with those people who wanted to marry her with ulterior motives. As long as she didn't get married, such things would happen frequently.

So she simply chose someone who was good-looking, capable, and would not covet the Mei family. Most importantly, she didn't hate that person, and Pei Jingfeng was that person.

I really have to thank myself for not giving up on myself. I have become a good-looking and capable man. Otherwise, where would I find a wife?

Later, when my wife was giving birth, she had some difficulty in labor. I was standing outside the hospital and felt like my mother had passed away. Fortunately, she survived.

Later I took medicine by myself. I thought one child would be enough for me in the future. However, seeing that my wife was looking forward to having a second child, I didn’t dare tell her.

She always thought that because she had injured herself at the time and had not recovered well, she was not destined to have a second child. Every time I would comfort her that it was not the right time.

After a long time, she stopped thinking about it. In order to prevent her from worrying about the family business, I secretly taught my son a lot of things, so that he could take over the business as soon as possible.

Later she found out and stopped me from doing it. It must be that my son deliberately let his mother find out.

My behavior made her angry. She didn't get close to me for several days. As soon as I showed up, she would immediately take her son and move away.

After I tried to please my son several times, promised him many benefits, and let him explain himself that he was willing to learn, she finally responded to me with some doubt.

I will never teach my naughty son again. I hired a few teachers to give him lessons so that he won't be around his mother all day.

I was afraid that my wife would be bored, so I found some travel guides for her and asked her to choose from them. When we went traveling later, she was no longer bored.

But my wife has fallen in love with reading storybooks. She keeps a book in her hands every day. All she sees are storybooks. I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot.

Later, when the children grew up and had traveled around, my wife wanted to go out to sea to see the wider world, so we left the business to the children and went out together.

When we were lost at sea, I regretted bringing her out. If I had known, I would have explored the way first before bringing her out.

We stayed in a foreign land for a few years, returned to Xi State for a few years, and went to many places. Until we could no longer walk, we returned to Xi State, bought a small courtyard and lived in it.

Until she passed away and I was left alone. My children are doing well, I have grandchildren, and I live a good life. I have nothing to miss. I hope I can meet my wife again in the next life.

One night I passed away in my sleep. I have had my ups and downs in life, but since I met my wife, I have always had sweetness. I am very satisfied with my life.
