Chapter 455: No Marriage
Shen Ruyi released another batch of citrus saplings and hired people to plant them. But this was not enough, and there were still several farms that had not yet had their turn, so they could only come slowly.
Recently, a new batch of fruits in the space has ripened. Shen Ruyi kept only the fresh fruits for eating and canned the rest or dried them.
There were so many people that it was hard to take, so she and Yiren would sneak in a little bit. When the Great Sage saw it, Shen Ruyi would also share some.
Manju and Xihe completely took over all businesses in the mansion and usually lived in the city for convenience.
Shen Ruyi has begun to let go completely and plans to slowly withdraw, letting the two of them get used to life without her.
As soon as the Chinese New Year was over, the nanny went back to the city and continued to work in the garment workshop. She was very busy all day.
There weren't many people in the family, and we had to live separately.
After the New Year, Shen Ruyi and Xihe Agate talked about whether to get married or not. Both of them said that they would not get married, and that getting married and having children would not be as happy as doing business. They like the present life, where they can be busy when they want to be busy, and go out to drink tea and listen to music when they don't want to be busy.
They felt that life was short and they should do whatever they wanted. Xihe said righteously: "Ruyi, I have made up my mind. I will not get married in this life. I want to be a happy old maid and do everything I want. Instead of being like those ladies in the city, suffering in their husband's family and then getting divorced, it is better not to get married from the beginning. What's the good of getting married? Sharing an old cucumber with other women every day, competing with each other all day long, why should women embarrass other women? What's the point? Besides, after getting married, we have to show filial piety to this and that, but no one will show filial piety to us. We are all human beings. Why? This is not worth it no matter how you think about it."
Shen Ruyi covered her face when she heard these familiar words. Damn it! She brought a good young man to the ditch alive. How could she explain to Mr. Wang? It was simply a death sentence.
The words she used to criticize and talk nonsense on a daily basis have just come back so openly? Isn't this what she said when she was guiding public opinion? How come it has come back? Is it caused by reaction and action? Or is it karma and reincarnation?
God wants her to die, how can she explain to Mr. Wang? She had promised at the beginning that she would definitely help his granddaughter find a good family, but in the end, she went too far and Xihe simply refused to get married.
Shen Ruyi thought for a few seconds and quickly persuaded: "Sister Xihe, what I said before was just nonsense. I was trying to incite the people and deliberately set the tone. You just listen to it, but don't believe it. You think this way now, what if you regret it in the future?"
"But, Ruyi, getting married is not cost-effective and it doesn't make sense. I can now travel around the capital, or even do business all over the country. Can I get married? What if I get pregnant and give birth to a child and both of them die? I will be left with nothing, and I will lose even more."
"It's not that serious, it's not that serious." Shen Ruyi was afraid that she would regret it in the future, but it would be too late.
"You are young now, maybe you can find a decent one by picking out the tallest one among the short ones. When you are older, you will be the one left over by others, or you will find that the one is married for the second time, and you will be even more embarrassed to ask for it. Now I am here to protect you, so generally no one will bully you or touch you."
Xihe did not answer but asked directly: "Ruyi, will you get married in the future?"
"I won't get married. I have other things to do. I don't have the time and energy to dwell on romance." Shen Ruyi was honestly saying that she didn't want to get married at all, let alone have children. Otherwise, with her ability, it would not be a problem to get rid of the father and keep the son.
"Look, you think there's no need to get married. I think so too. There's absolutely no need. I eat well, live well, drink well, and am free. The most important thing is that I have my own property and money. I can live a very comfortable life. Why should I put myself in a dangerous place and let a bunch of strangers control everything about me? They might even spend my money and make me angry. Why?"
Shen Ruyi: "..."
Shen Ruyi immediately shut herself up. Xihe, listen to what you said. I think I should give you the identity of a time-traveling girl. You are more suitable for it than me.
"What if you regret it when you're older?"
"You won't regret it, or, Ruyi, if I don't get married, will you kick me out?"
Shen Ruyi shook her head repeatedly: "No, that's not true. As long as you don't do anything detrimental to our villa in the future and don't betray our villa, this will be your eternal home and you can live here without worry." Shen Ruyi regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.
"Then let's make this a happy decision. There's no going back on our word."
Got tricked!
Shen Ruyi turned around and asked Manju, "Sister Manju, what about you? What do you think?"
"You don't need to ask me in the future. If you ask, the answer will be the same, that is, not getting married. I think the days now are the best days. I am now at the peak of my life. If I hadn't experienced the taste of freedom and the pleasure of spending money, I might just marry anyone at random. My life is so good now, why should I endure hardships? Be backward-compatible and make myself suffer? I'm not mentally ill. In the entire Dali Dynasty, do you think that there is any maid who can be as happy, free, and happy as me?"
"Sister Manju, you were never a maid. You were our sister and a relative. When you never thought about giving up Changle and betraying my mother, you were no longer a maid. You were my mother's eldest daughter, the eldest sister who protected Changle and was safe. You are our sister forever."
Agate turned her head and wiped her tears, saying: "You are right, I am your eldest sister. Since I am your eldest sister, let's live well together. To be honest, I don't trust outsiders. And it is easy to leave hidden dangers to our safety. What if they are bold and want to harm us?"
"Okay, that's right. Let's do this first. If one of you wants to have a child in the future, we can give up the father and keep the son. But Xihe, you have to persuade your grandfather. No, I'll talk to him first after I'm done and see what he thinks. I'm afraid the old man won't be able to accept it."
"I guess my grandfather probably accepted quite a lot. Of course, this is just my guess."
"Okay, I understand." Shen Ruyi didn't ask everyone to get married. Just be happy and don't regret it. Anyway, whether you get married or not, it's all for happiness. As long as you feel happy, it doesn't matter what state you are in.
In today's world with such advanced medical care, a pregnant woman can die at any time. Let alone in ancient times when everything was impossible, it was simply risking one's own life. It was not cost-effective and the price was too high.
