A poor hero

Chen Chen thought about it. In the memory of the original owner, although his parents died young, they still left him a house and two acres of thin farmland.

Although the world is big, the two of them are still too small after all.

The most important thing now is to find a way to make a living as soon as possible.

Without money, nothing can be done.

The biggest reason why Master Xu dared to treat Chen Chen like this was that Chen Chen had no money.

Even if they find a private school where they can work-for-study, it will still cost a lot of money to take the exam to become a scholar.

"Well, it's up to you. I'll go with you wherever you go." Shen Qian's cheeks suddenly turned red, she became shy, and she replied delicately.

Chen Chen was 22 years old before he traveled through time. He had just graduated from a third-rate vocational school and had not yet found a job.

But he is indeed a blank slate when it comes to relationships between men and women, a completely straight man.

At this time, he did not notice the change in Shen Qian's feelings, but treated her as a little sister as always.

Although Shen Qian is only 13 years old like the original owner Chen Chen, after all, she got married early in the Ming Dynasty, and she also knows a little about the relationship between men and women.

When Chen Chen said he wanted to take her home, she had already developed a special feeling for Chen Chen.

Only the silly boy Chen Chen was still confused.

"Chen Qian, don't be afraid. I have everything. When you return to Chenjiacun, I will let you live a good life. I will let you eat meat every day and grow fat. I will let you wear the best clothes in Xu County." Look at the clothes.”

Chen Chen looked at Shen Qian, a thin girl wearing patched clothes, and thought of the half steamed bun and the promise he made to Shen Qian.

So like a big brother, he stroked Shen Qian's hair and comforted her.

Dongcun is the seat of Dongzhen, Xu County, more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat.

Chenjia Village is also a village in East Town of Xu County, but it is far away from the county seat of Xu County, about fifty kilometers away.

Chenjiacun had to pass through Dongzhen when leaving the county seat, so Chen Chen and Shen Qian only had more than 20 kilometers to go back to Chenjiacun.

But for this short distance of more than 20 kilometers, it only takes an average person three or four hours to walk.

Chen Chen and Shen Qian usually eat less, are malnourished, and have sallow complexions and thin muscles.

Both of them had only eaten half a steamed bun that day. They were already so hungry that their eyes were filled with panic and their feet were trembling.

By the time they dragged their feet back to the entrance of Chenjiacun, it was already evening.

"Chen Qian, look, those houses with smoke floating in the front are our village, and our home is in the middle one."

Chen Chen pointed to one of the houses and said happily to Shen Qian.

Although the original owner Chen Chen has not been back for three years, in his memory, every plant, tree and house here is very familiar.

He immediately recognized the home where the original owner had lived for ten years.

"Well, Chen Chen, I have entered your home, and I will be yours from now on, and your home will be our home from now on." Shen Qian's cheeks turned red from shyness, she lowered her head and said lovingly.

But the silly boy Chen Chen still couldn't hear the obvious implication of Shen Qian's words, and still regarded her as his little sister. He just nodded stupidly and said: "Well, Shen Qian, this will be our home from now on, and I will treat her well." your."

There were several eight or nine-year-old children playing in an open space at the entrance of the village.

When they saw Chen Chen and Shen Qian returning to the village entrance, they all ran towards them and looked at them carefully.

"Auntie, the eldest brother is back. The eldest brother Chen Chen is back with his wife Guanyin Bodhisattva..."

After watching for a long time, one of the children named Xiao Niu finally recognized Chen Chen.

He looked at Shen Qian's big earlobes, shouted happily and curiously, and ran towards the house.

Chen Chen also found this calf child in the memory of the original owner.

Xiao Niu is the second son of the third aunt next door to the original owner Chen Chen. He is four years younger than Chen Chen. When he was a child, he was like a slug and often played behind Chen Chen and his elder brother.

Third Aunt's family and Chen Chen's family are very close. The two acres of land now owned by Chen Chen's family are cultivated by Third Aunt's family.

Chen Chen's parents were killed by a tiger on the mountain when he was eight years old. For a long time, his third aunt's family took care of him.

It's a pity that Chen Chen later thought about studying to gain fame, become a high official and come back to eliminate tigers and avenge his parents, so he went to Dongcun Private School in Dongzhen to work in exchange for studying.

In the beginning, when the third aunt's family went out to East Town, they would bring something to see Chen Chen at the East Village private school.

But when he went there later, Master Xu was afraid that they would know that he had mistreated Chen Chen and that he was missing a free worker. Master Xu drove away the third aunt's family because Chen Chen was busy with studies.

The third aunt's family was also afraid that it would affect Chen Chen's studies, and they no longer dared to visit the East Village private school.

Without the third aunt and the others to go to private school, Chen Chen also had no other family members to go around. From then on, Master Xu bullied Chen Chen more and more fiercely.

Under the loud shouting of Mavericks, this silent old village became lively. Dogs barked and chickens cawed. Villagers came out of their houses one after another to see what was going on.

"Hello, Brother Sheng, have you eaten?"

Chen Chen greeted a man from a house at the entrance of the village. From the memory of the original owner, he knew that this man was named Chen Sheng, and he was Chen Chen's brother of the same generation.

"Have eaten. Dachen, you can eat here if you come back early. It's a pity that you are a little late. We have already eaten." Chen Sheng also recognized that this was Chen Chen, looked at Shen Qian and replied, "Dachen, this Is this little girl your little wife? She looks so pretty, and her big earlobes are so beautiful."

Seeing Chen Sheng looking at her, Shen Qian lowered her head in shyness.

Her face was as red as a red apple, and she was hiding silently behind Chen Chen.

"Brother Sheng, that's wrong, this is not my little wife, this is my good friend Shen Qian." Chen Chen introduced seriously, "Chen Qian, come call Brother Sheng, this is my brother-in-law."

Hearing Chen Chen's greeting, Shen Qian raised her head and looked, then lowered her head and called Brother Sheng in a low voice.

Chen Sheng was afraid that Chen Chen would stay here to eat, so he quickly urged: "Okay, go home quickly. It's almost dark. You just came back. Do you still have to pack your things when you go back?"

Farewell to Chen Sheng, Chen Chen and Shen Qian slowly hurried toward his home on the stone brick village road that was full of the smell of rice.

"Ms. sir, who does the little brother you just chatted with belong to? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"You just got married, but you don't know that it was Dachen in our marriage room. Dachen is a scholar in our marriage room. Now he is studying in the town and doesn't come back often."

"Since that Dachen is your brother-in-law, then why didn't you let them come down for dinner just now? They just came back and there's nothing they can do about it. They are really heartless and unjust misers."

……

Chen Sheng's new daughter-in-law, named Wu Hong, is a sensible person. When she saw that her husband was so stingy that he ignored family ties, she blamed him on the spot.
