After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Aunt Erda was a woman who cared a lot about her reputation but was also stingy. This contradictory nature of hers caused quite a few laughs in the village. Thinking of this, Shuisheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing her second aunt's generous words, Ruolan smiled and said, "Oh, it's rare to see second aunt so generous, she's even inviting people to stay for dinner."

Ruolan turned to Shuisheng and smiled at each other. "Auntie invited us to stay for dinner tonight. Why don't we eat at Auntie's house before going back?"

When Aunt Er heard Ruolan say that, her heart skipped a beat. She muttered something to herself and tiptoed into the house.

Seeing the second aunt's furtive behavior, the two laughed silently again.

Shuisheng quickly pulled Ruolan a few steps away and whispered, "That's just how Second Aunt is, let's not tease her." Ruolan covered her mouth and giggled non-stop as she followed Shuisheng home.

The half-moon was big, round, and bright, as bright as day.

It only takes a few minutes to walk from the village to their home. Shuisheng had been holding Ruolan's hand since earlier and hadn't let go.

Accompanied by the chirping of crickets at night, the two walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing, to their doorstep.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can hear the children playing, especially He Min, who is the loudest.

Ruolan thought to herself that their parents' decision to let go and not interfere now had actually made the brothers and sisters more united.

As soon as the two entered the house, He Min and the others stopped smiling and became reserved. However, Ruolan did not feel that it ruined the atmosphere. She liked a quiet environment and found it annoying to listen to too much noise. This was not bad.

Upon seeing the two, He Rong greeted them sweetly, "Father, Mother, you're back."

"We've prepared all the food and are just waiting for you to come back."

"As soon as we got home from school today, we went to clear the weeds from the sweet potato patch near the small well."

He Rong also reported what they had done that day to their parents, a habit they had developed over the past six months.

Every night, they would tell their mother about what happened that day, regardless of whether she could understand or not. Their father said it was a way to show respect to their mother.

Ruolan gazed quietly at He Rong before her, nodding slightly to indicate that she understood what he meant.

Hearing that they hadn't slacked off, she didn't say anything. For Ruolan now, as long as it wasn't related to Brother Shuisheng, many things weren't that important.

She couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She had thought that letting go would be a very difficult thing, but when she actually faced it, she found that it was so easy.

Especially towards her children in this life, she was able to completely ignore them. This made her reflect on herself; was she truly heartless?

Looking back on her life, Ruolan felt as if it had been divided into two completely different parts.

That past period was like a dream, filled with all sorts of joys and sorrows.

Now, thanks to Brother Shuisheng, her future is full of hope.

Ruolan has always firmly believed that all love is selfless and unconditional.

But this demanding love ultimately led to her suffering a merciless backlash from her children.

Sometimes, excessively intense love can become a form of invisible harm.

Having gone through all of this, Ruolan is now disheartened with the children and no longer has the strength to care for them.

As night deepened, dinner for the second room tonight was fragrant braised potato rice, along with smoked cured meat and green beans.

Steaming hot rice and golden, crispy potatoes blend together, releasing an enticing aroma that fills the entire room.

On the table was a plate of cucumber salad, tender pickled celery, and refreshing fern salad.

Looking at the group of people around the octagonal table, their eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets, staring intently at the potato rice in the bowl, like a pack of hungry wolves.

As the matriarch of the family, Ruolan first served them the food before letting them help themselves.

Seeing their starving expressions, Ruolan couldn't help but gently remind them, "You have to eat slowly, don't eat like pigs. Pigs use their snouts to eat, you're human, you can't just imitate pigs and use your snouts to eat, can you?"

He Fen was eager to finish her meal quickly so she could get another bowl, but when she heard her stepmother say that, she felt very resentful. With a pout, she had no choice but to slow down.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Hejun shrank behind his third brother in fear, afraid that his mother would find out.

Hezhen looked at her father, then at her mother, and said ingratiatingly, "Mom, I didn't shovel, I eat very slowly."

Ruolan glanced at it casually, neither praising it nor paying much attention to it.

The three siblings, He Rong and his sister, were still young and one bowl was enough to fill them up. As for the youngest, He Qiang, he couldn't eat potato rice, so He Fen specially cooked him a bowl of porridge with an egg.

These eggs were just laid by the hens they carefully feed every day. There aren't many, just enough for Qiang to supplement his nutrition each day.

Their family's meals are already quite good; the child won't drool over just one egg.

After the meal, some people washed the dishes, some swept the floor, He Min took care of He Qiang, and He Ping went to boil water.

Although the weather was very hot, Ruolan still liked to soak her feet before going to sleep.

Once the courtyard had quieted down, Ruolan, who had been resting with her eyes closed inside the house, opened them and saw the man who had pushed open the door. The corners of her mouth immediately turned up.

Shuisheng sat down by the bed and gently took Ruolan's hand. "You must be exhausted today?" Ruolan shook her head. "I'm not tired at all. I just spent the whole day running around with you and we didn't get anything done."

When Shui Sheng heard Ruolan say that, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a row of clean and neat teeth. He then gently pulled her into his arms and said tenderly, "Wife, I'm going to Old Niu's house later."

Ruolan was not surprised by Shuisheng's words at all, because she knew what Shuisheng was going to do. Lao Niu was his former partner who raised pigs with him in the back mountain.

Although Shuisheng has now withdrawn from the business, Lao Niu and his friends still come to him for help when they need to sell pigs.

Ruolan blinked, then asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that their pigs are ready to be sold?"

Shui Sheng nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, that's right. Recently, their food supply has been insufficient, so they have to sell some of their pigs, otherwise they won't have the money to buy pig feed to feed the piglets."

Ruolan frowned and sighed regretfully, "Oh dear, these pigs are in their fattening period right now, which is when they grow the fastest! It's really not worth it to sell them now!"

As she spoke, she shook her head with heartache, thinking to herself that Shuisheng was bound to suffer a great loss again, since pork sold at this critical juncture usually wouldn't fetch a high price.

However, Shui Sheng seemed quite calm. He comforted Ruolan, saying, "It's okay. If others are willing to sell, then I'm not reluctant either. We can earn a little less, we still have plenty of time."

In the past, Shui Sheng might have put himself in his friends' shoes and considered their feelings, since they were childhood playmates and had a deep bond.

But now, after experiencing some things, he has become indifferent to many things. As the saying goes, everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep, so who has the time to meddle in other people's business?
