In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

It was a wonderful surprise. She hadn't expected the spiritual spring water to have such a remarkable effect. This alone was quite extraordinary. She wondered what other hidden surprises awaited her in the space.

Su Li was having a great time digging sweet potatoes. Every time she dug one out, she felt a sense of satisfaction, which was truly delightful.

Su Li thought that if these sweet potatoes could be planted on a large scale, the chances of people starving to death would be greatly reduced in the future.

Su Li was thinking of finding an opportunity to take the sweet potatoes out, but definitely not now. She was busy traveling and didn't have time to plant them even if she knew their benefits.

Thinking about her next plans, Su Li silently planted another batch of sweet potatoes in her space. Because she had dug up a lot of soil from outside and transported it into her space during this period, it was enough to expand the planting area. So this time, she expanded the planting area a bit.

Su Li was busy in her spatial dimension, so she stayed inside the tent and didn't go out, which made those who were watching her extremely jealous.

Since the floodwaters receded, the Pei family had been following the group. Zhao Zexuan hadn't mentioned letting them leave, so they had been pretending not to know.

The events of this period have made everyone in the Pei family realize one thing: they cannot guarantee their own safety on their own, and they want to firmly grasp Zhao Zexuan as their powerful backer.

The world is in chaos. At this time, whoever is strong usually calls the shots. The Pei family fled in a hurry and has no army or troops. Now there are refugees everywhere, and the potential danger is not small.

In the past few days, the women of the Pei family have gradually become aware of the family's plans, and now they can't help but have their own little thoughts.

At the Pei family's rest area, Pei Jiaojiao leaned against Old Madam Pei and said, "I found out that Brother Zhao already has a wife, and it seems that everyone in the group likes her very much."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei paused and said, "Don't gossip about these things. It would be bad if people misunderstood your intentions."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaojiao couldn't help but pout before saying, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious. I heard from those people that Brother Zhao's wife was someone he brought back from somewhere, and the two of them didn't even have a wedding ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei immediately understood her daughter's thoughts and advised, "Jiaojiao, whatever Zhao Zexuan does is his business and has nothing to do with us. You must remember that."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaojiao, who already had some ulterior motives, said somewhat guiltily, "Mother, I didn't think that way. I just felt that the woman was not good enough for Brother Zhao. He's so capable, yet he married a village girl."

"Mom, you have no idea, she doesn't come out to work at all. She slept in the tent all day. She's so lazy."

Madam Pei's feelings were somewhat complicated. She knew her daughter's current dilemma, so before anything happened, she said sternly, "You shouldn't care about this. You and Zhao Zexuan have already broken off your engagement. It was your own choice."

Feeling wronged by her mother's words, Pei Jiaojiao said angrily, "Can't I even ask around?"

After saying this, Pei Jiaojiao wiped away her tears and ran outside.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, go check on your sister quickly and tell her not to go too far," Madam Pei said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei, who had been silent all along, nodded hurriedly and followed after him, harboring her own thoughts.

Seeing that her eldest daughter-in-law had gone after her, Madam Pei was relieved, though a faint anger still lingered on her face.

Meanwhile, Madam Pei finally caught up with Pei Jiaojiao. She saw Pei Jiaojiao squatting not far from the camp, crying. She couldn't help but remain silent for a moment before going forward to comfort her.

"Little sister, don't cry. Mother is just worried about you, she has no other intentions," Madam Pei comforted her.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaojiao couldn't help but wipe away her tears and said, "Mother doesn't care about me at all."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei couldn't help but mutter to herself, "You don't care about this? If you didn't care, you wouldn't have broken off the engagement for me in the first place."

She might grumble to herself, but she absolutely couldn't say it aloud. Madam Pei understood her sister-in-law's ambition better than anyone else, so she tried her best to go along with Pei Jiaojiao. Besides, she also had her own selfish reasons; she wanted her sister-in-law to succeed as well.

After observing for a period of time, Madam Pei realized one thing: in this chaotic world, it would be difficult for the Pei family to survive on their own, and they had to find a reliable backer.

Clearly, Zhao Zexuan is the most important person they should rely on right now, so both emotionally and logically, she hopes that her sister-in-law can be with Zhao Zexuan.

Because of this selfish motive, Madam Pei did not persuade her sister-in-law to give up as Madam Pei had requested. Instead, she said cryptically, "Little sister, I'm only saying this because I'm afraid you'll fail and be heartbroken. Don't be angry with me."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaojiao stopped crying and stubbornly wiped away her tears, saying, "Then I will prove to Mother whether I can do it or not. I refuse to believe that I, Pei Jiaojiao, cannot handle a man."

Madam Pei: "My younger sister is definitely the most capable, but I'll worry about you. It's best not to let me know about this."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaojiao immediately said, "Mother will definitely scold me, so I'm not going to tell her."

Madam Pei was satisfied, and then said a few more kind words to coax Pei Jiaojiao to stop crying. Only then did the two prepare to go back.

Pei Jiaojiao hadn't gone far, and was near the camp. So when the two of them reached the camp entrance, they heard footsteps behind them. They turned around at the same time and saw Zhao Zexuan leading his soldiers back with a full load.

Zhao Zexuan was impeccably handsome, and his overall demeanor set him apart from others. He possessed both the elegance of a scholar and the decisiveness of a general, a combination that made him increasingly admirable.

Pei Jiaojiao was in this state, looking at Zhao Zexuan with admiration as he led his soldiers back from outside, her resentment growing stronger.

Pei Jiaojiao wanted to go up and say hello, but before she could make a move, Zhao Zexuan and his soldiers hurriedly passed by without even glancing at her, which annoyed Pei Jiaojiao.

Madam Pei had naturally noticed what had just happened, and she comforted him, saying, "General Zhao just came back from outside and may have other things to attend to. It's normal that he didn't notice us for a moment. Little sister, you mustn't get angry so easily."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaojiao felt a little better and said, "I'm not angry. I know he might mind that I broke off the engagement back then, so he's deliberately ignoring me. I know all of this, and I'll make him forgive me."

Hearing her sister-in-law's boastful words, Madam Pei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch her lips, and then said with a smile, "Little sister can definitely do it!"
