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

Chapter 68, Section 90: The White Moonlight Can Only Be Admired from Afar (1)

In S province, there is a remote village called Banshan. It is named Banshan Village because the village is located halfway up a mountain.

There is virtually no transportation here. To leave the village, you can only take a small path up the back of the mountain. It takes about 40 minutes to climb over the hillside and reach the main road (a wider dirt road).

It takes two hours to walk from the main road to Niuzhen. There is only one market day a week, and it takes six hours to walk there and back.

Taking a car? There aren't even roads in the village, how could there be a car?

Waiting for a bus on the side of the road? Sorry, there are no buses. There's only one bus a week.

Even if there are cars, Banshan Village is in an in-between location, and by the time the cars arrive, it's already overcrowded. People hanging outside the cars look like they're about to fall off, and there are even people sitting on the roofs of the cars.

If you're capable, you can squeeze in too.

Therefore, people in the village rarely go to the market unless absolutely necessary, making travel extremely difficult.

There are about fifty households in the village, and that's just counting those that haven't split up into separate households. Although the village is small, it has a large population.

For example, in the Wen family, Grandpa Wen had six siblings. He was the fifth oldest, with one older brother, three older sisters, and one younger sister.

All the other sisters got married. Two of the older sisters married in the village. The second sister died, and the third sister lived next door. She was a neighbor of Uncle Wen and Grandpa Wen.

Grandpa Wen and his brother had nine children in total. Grandpa Wen had five sons and one daughter, while Grandpa Wen had two sons and one daughter.

Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen were both hardworking people, and their family owned the most land in the village. Unfortunately, Grandpa Wen's children were all disappointing: the eldest was honest, the second was cunning, and the youngest was lazy.

The eldest son, who is also the female lead's father (hereafter referred to as Father Wen), has two daughters and one son. The eldest son is the female lead Wen Yi, the second son is Wen Jing, and the youngest son is Wen Yu.

Wen Yi graduated from junior high school more than half a year ago. After the New Year, she will either go out to work or get married.

So when her mother asked her whether she wanted to go to Zhejiang Province to work with her stepmother or stay home to find a husband through matchmaking, she hadn't actually decided yet.

That night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She didn't know what to do. She heard from the girls in the village that if she went out to work, she could earn her own money and spend it as she pleased, and she could buy whatever she wanted and even have her own savings.

She was tempted and wanted to work there, but she couldn't bear to leave that man—Cheng Qingsong.

They weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, just people with ambiguous feelings for each other, but also the most compatible couple in the eyes of their peers. In this ignorant and naive period when she didn't understand love, she was confessed to by Cheng Qingsong through a note...?

It wasn't the kind of explicit "I like you" or "I love you" kind of thing. He just asked Wen Yi if she wanted to go for a walk with him.

Walking on the road is what villagers tacitly consider as dating.

She was too shy to reply to him, and then all the other kids in the village found out and assumed they were a couple.

Amidst the cheers and jeers around them, the two of them found themselves walking together without realizing it. They would occasionally exchange notes, but they never spent time alone together. If they met, they would be shy for a long time, so how could they possibly be alone together?

The person who passed the note was Cheng Ye, Cheng Qingsong's niece and one of Wen Yi's close friends.

……

After thinking for a long time, Wenyi fell asleep without realizing it. In her sleep, she had a dream. In the dream, the next day, she wrote a note to Cheng Qingsong asking him if he wanted to marry her. If he didn't want to get married now, she would have to go out to work after the New Year.

Unfortunately, I didn't receive a reply from him until the Chinese New Year.

There are no entertainment venues in the village. The only place to chat and play cards is the village square, which is the liveliest place in the village. All the big and small events in the village are held in the square.

So whenever they had time, everyone would gather at the dam to chat, brag, and play cards.

Wen Yi had met Cheng Qingsong a few times in Changba, but what could be written down could not be asked out of the mouth.

Most importantly, seeing that Cheng Qingsong acted as if nothing had happened, Wen Yi wouldn't be so shameless as to directly ask him if he had received the note she wrote.

And so, the matter of the note was left unresolved.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wenyi and a few of her friends gathered in the open space to listen to villagers who had returned from working in the city talk about their experiences outside.

Cheng Qingsong's mother was also there; they were all from the same village and usually treated each other with great courtesy.

Cheng Qingsong's parents were among the first to go out to work, and the Cheng family just built a one-story house last year.

It wasn't the only single-story house in the village, but the couple managed to support themselves without relying on their parents, which was quite an achievement.

The couple often work away from home, so they feel somewhat distant from the villagers. Cheng's mother is very polite to everyone and has a strong sense of boundaries.

Unlike the village wives, who speak and act with a strange and fierce air, which village woman hasn't fought or argued with her mother-in-law? Which one hasn't fought with her husband?

But Cheng's mother was different; she was one of the few kind-hearted people in the village.

Such a kind person doesn't pay special attention to outsiders, doesn't talk about people behind their backs, and doesn't gossip about anyone.

But that day she specifically asked Wen Yi if he was going to work after the New Year, and she even said that her Qingsong would go to work with them after the New Year, so that he could earn money to get married.

She was also asked who she was going with, and Wen Yi said she was going with her mistress. Cheng's mother expressed her regret that they were in different places, otherwise they could have gone together, as they were too far away from her mistress.

Wen Yi didn't understand at the time, but after working for several years, she realized the meaning behind her words.

She has been working outside for two years and has already found a boyfriend, who is Wenyi's elementary school classmate.

Later, Cheng Qingsong obtained Wen Yi's contact information from a friend of a friend. By then, both of them had matured a lot and were no longer as naive as before, but they were no longer the same people they used to be.

The two had become quite estranged, and Cheng Qingsong made it clear that he wanted to pursue Wen Yi, but Wen Yi refused because of her mother.

He still wouldn't give up, pestering Wen Yi for over two years. Even if Wen Yi loved him deeply, she would eventually become impatient and disgusted by his persistent harassment.

During this time, he also learned that he had never received her notes, and he had vowed that if he had known she wanted to get married, he would definitely have married her.

But Wen Yi is content with the status quo, thinking her boyfriend is alright and treats her well, and she doesn't want to change.

Moreover, Cheng Qingsong is so popular with women that she feels insecure and doesn't like Cheng Qingsong to be like a peacock displaying its feathers in front of any woman.

She was even more afraid of getting along with his mother. She was clumsy with words and not good at fighting, so she was afraid that she would not be able to fight his mother. For all these reasons, her rejection of Cheng Qingsong was sincere and without any hesitation.

But Cheng Qingsong seemed not to hear her refusal and pursued her relentlessly. In order to avoid Cheng Qingsong, she and her boyfriend impulsively decided to get married.

A few years after their marriage, they had a son and a daughter. Although they were not rich and powerful, life was not smooth either, with too many trivial matters.

Perhaps what you can't have is the best. After getting married, news about him would always reach her ears from all directions, intentionally or unintentionally. Every time she forgot about him, news about him would come again, and Wen Yi found it harder and harder to forget that past relationship.

Especially after marriage, she realized that her husband was different from the naive man he had appeared to be. He used to be a womanizer, having slept with women since he was fifteen or sixteen. He knew everything that was supposed to be his. Wen Yi felt disgusted by this, and their relationship gradually became distant until they separated. Perhaps she was too lonely, so she often reminisced about her youthful days and developed a strong romanticized view of Cheng Qingsong.

From then on, Cheng Qingsong became the unattainable white moonlight of Wen Yi.

In the dream, Cheng Qingsong was over forty and still unmarried, but he never lost his girlfriend.

The warmth after waking from the dream is tinged with a deep sense of regret for what happened within it.
