What a cheating husband

Chen Qing ran all the way, not daring to stay in the county, went straight to the north gate and took a carriage to Qingping Town.

He gave three pennies to the driver, and the old man saw that Chen Qing was covered in ashes and asked him if he had been bullied. If this countryman didn't restrain his temper when he went to the city, he would have no one to help him even if he was wronged in the city. .

Chen Qing didn't dare to say that he was fighting with others, but only said that he was kicked out by dogs and fell a few times, so he sat in front of the car and secretly worried.

But later I remembered that Young Master Liang didn't know who he was at all, so he wasn't afraid of his customs declaration, and he would be fine if he hid a bit in the future.What's more, he still believed in Shen Shuquan's character and would not betray his name, and even Shen Shuquan didn't know where he lived, even if that young master Liang searched the whole Qingcheng County, he couldn't be caught.

However, in order to ensure peace in the future, I would not come to the county in the future. At most, I would ask Uncle Liu to pick up the work for me, and then let the old man Liu bring it back.Having made up her mind, Chen Qing rushed to discuss with Aunt Liu as soon as she arrived in the town.

Liu Xiulian was also anxious when she heard that Chen Qing beat up a young master from a rich family. Did this young master from a rich family just hit him casually?No matter how she asked, Chen Qing just refused to say the young master's surname, only said that he didn't know who that person was, and they just ran into a quarrel on the street, and then started fighting.

When Liu Xiulian heard that it was the young master who beat people first, she hurriedly checked the bag on Chen Qing's head and cursed, "If you have money, you can use money to hit people! You can bully people! What's the difference between this money and stones! Go to shopkeeper Lin!" Ask someone to take a look at the shop, there is such a big bag on your head, don't smash it!"

Liu Xiulian originally wanted to say a few words about Chen Qing, but when she heard that someone had been smashed on the head by money, she became angry. This head is so important, and if it is broken, even money can't cure it.

"I'll be there in a while, don't worry, auntie, I'm here to discuss with you whether you can not go to the county to pick up work, and let the old man Liu who drives the car help me take it for a while, so as to save me from wasting time on the road," Chen Qing asked.

"That's fine, and it will save you from running into that young master again. Even if you don't go by yourself, the requirements and choices of embroidery work have to be arranged by the store, and you have to embroider whatever work is given to you." Liu Xiulian also thinks this idea is very good. good.

"My aunt also said that my craftsmanship has improved, so there is no problem. Besides, I also believe in Liu Bo's vision of picking jobs, but I have to ask him to write down the customer's request for me." Chen Qing was a little embarrassed, and troubled each time. Auntie, I have to trouble Uncle Liu this time.

"Why are you being polite to me? Brother Shan has praised you several times, saying that you have given him a lot of face. Liangji Cloth Shop has only been in business for two years. Because of your craftsmanship, you have attracted many customers. I value you very much, and work hard in the future so that I can save money for myself to marry a wife in the future." Liu Xiulian teased Chen Qing with a smile.

Speaking of marrying a daughter-in-law, Chen Qing turned red in the face, probably only his aunt and Abi would think about letting him marry a daughter-in-law. In his previous life, he had a relationship and it ended without a problem. Worrying about livelihood, how can I have time to find a girl to talk about love?

Seeing that Chen Qing's face turned red, Liu Xiulian didn't make fun of him, but said, "From now on, you will directly hand over your embroidery work to me, and you will also get the money from me, so that you won't run around in a hurry when you come to the town."

"Success, then thank Auntie first," Chen Qing quickly agreed with a smile.

"Come on, hurry up and go to shopkeeper Lin and find a doctor to show you." Liu Xiulian waved her away.

Chen Qing obediently went to the shopkeeper Lin to see a doctor. The medical treatment in this place is underdeveloped. If there is blood in the head, it will be as dangerous as a time bomb.

Shopkeeper Lin was taking inventory in the pharmacy, when he heard that Chen Qing had hurt his head, he hurried out to have a look, and asked the doctor in charge to take the pulse carefully, and personally prepared a wound medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

After Chen Qing paid for the medicine, his heart was throbbing with pain, he was beaten for no reason, and he had to pay for soup and medicine out of his own pocket. Today is really unlucky.But thinking of the ten taels of silver he earned back in vain, he no longer complained, and hoped that this matter would be let go, and he would exchange the beating for the silver.

After making up his mind not to go to the county again, he realized that if he didn't go, he would have to find someone to deliver a message to Shen Shuquan, lest he always go to the noodle shop to find him.

After buying new year's goods, Chen Qing returned to Chenjiagou with a heavy basket on his back. Abi was so anxious that she shed tears when she learned that her brother was injured. Chen Qing coaxed the little girl for a long time to stop her tears. He hurriedly went to find a medicine pot to boil medicine for Chen Qing.

It was not the first time for Chen Qing to fight. Instead of asking a few questions with concern, the auntie taught others a lesson, "A little brother is causing trouble everywhere, how can he be a brother?"

She would never think of getting a lawsuit in her heart, it's normal for this countryman to fight, even grown men would just throw their fists when they get anxious, and if they break it, at most they will pay for some medicine.For so many years, I have never seen anyone who can kill someone, so Miao Rencui never thought about the difference between fighting in the town and fighting in the countryside, let alone she didn't know that Chen Qing was fighting with a rich young master in the county. There was one.

In Chenjia Village, Chen Qing was also considered a good fight brother. Not only was he well-known in the village, but even the neighboring villages knew that Chenjiagou had a young brother Chen who was very capable of fighting.Therefore, no one in the uncle's family thought that Chen Qing could get into trouble.

"I'm not a brother!" Chen Qing said dryly, then turned around and went to the kitchen to find her sister.

"Cut~ If you have the ability to be a man for the rest of your life, I would be happy to have more labor at home!" Miao Rencui murmured softly after Chen Qing left.

"Keep your voice down, don't say this in front of Chen Qing, lest the baby get distracted again." Boss Chen taught with a sullen face.

Miao Rencui snorted coldly and didn't care about men, she naturally knew this truth, and she couldn't easily marry a man with a waste of labor.

Three years passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Qing was 18 years old, and Chen Bi was 13 years old.

Chenjiagou has not changed much. It still plants in spring and harvests in autumn every year. It’s just that there was a flood last year, and all the land next to the river was destroyed. Mr. Chen’s family was able to preserve half of the grain because the dry fields were far away from the river. However, the paddy fields have no harvest.

In a flood, half of the farmers were starving. The families with good conditions could survive with the money they had saved in previous years. Those with poor conditions could survive with enough food.Those who have a lot of people in the fields and are unlucky to suffer from floods are borrowing food everywhere, unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not sell their children and daughters to raise food.

Most of the villagers in a village are related to relatives, and the villagers in the village can help each other when they encounter difficulties, but few people can't make it through.

Although the grain production of Chen Qing’s family decreased last year, half of the grain in the 10 mu of dry land was enough for the whole family to eat and drink for a year. It can supplement the family income, but part-time work is a bit difficult.

The most frustrating thing is that Chen Ping, a guy who can't support the wall with mud, actually passed the boy's test two years ago.This is a big deal, it is a great honor to have a promising student in the village, and my aunt is full of expectations that Chen Ping will be able to pass the exam to be a scholar.

It's not that since the boy tried it, the uncle's family always talked with their nostrils up in Chenjiagou.His son had a good face, and the first two years were good, so Chen Ping started spending money lavishly.Last year's floods caught up with the imperial examinations, and the family was so gloomy that they dared to spend most of their savings for their son's examination of scholar.

The result can be imagined, not to mention that Chen Ping spent all his money, and he didn't pass the exam as a scholar. Instead, he met a group of young masters in the provincial capital who ate, drank and had fun every day.Miao Rencui entrusted someone to give Chen Ping two pieces of money and told him to go home quickly, but he used all the traveling expenses to eat and drink, and Miao Rencui was so angry that he cried and howled at home.

The family didn't have any money, but instead owed the village 10 taels of silver in order to raise road expenses for Chen Ping.Miao Rencui couldn't bear the run-on, and was secretly annoyed that his son would not come home, so he simply left him alone and let Chen Ping mess around in the provincial capital. Anyway, he would come back if he had no money to spend.

Chen Ping had no money, so he went around looking for money from his fellow countrymen to borrow money, and followed a few wealthy children to be a younger brother to eat and drink.But the good times didn't last long, Chen Ping couldn't learn, he only flattered people, and it became annoying after a long time, so he borrowed money from him to return home for the sake of having fun together on weekdays.

As soon as Chen Ping came back, Miao Rencui was quite happy at first, but after learning that he owed another 80 taels of silver outside, she couldn't breathe and passed out.

The family suffered a flood and owed 90 taels of foreign debt. The uncle was frowning all day long, and the grandpa and grandma even sighed.No matter how capable the Chen Qing brothers and sisters are, they are powerless in the face of natural disasters.

This time, more than [-] households were affected in the villages, and the entire Qingping County and the two neighboring counties and towns were not spared.Due to the relatively high terrain, Qingping Town was not seriously affected by the disaster. It is said that many refugees escaped from the worst town, and children and daughters were sold from time to time.

After the imperial court heard the news, they exempted the exorbitant taxes and sent disaster relief money to appease the people. However, the journey to the capital is far away, and it takes more than three months to come and go. After the disaster relief money is transported to the provincial capital, it is almost winter. .

The government also sent people to renovate the river upstream, but there is no accurate statement as to whether it will be repaired or not. The people in Chenjiagou only know that before the relief money is converted into food, the severely affected villages in the upper reaches will soon be unable to survive. .

It wasn't until the winter snow fell that the relief food was sent to the villages by the government. Mr. Chen received 70 catties of miscellaneous grains and drank pickles every day.Chen Ping came back before the snow fell, and when the food was distributed, he also received 10 catties of miscellaneous grains according to the head.

10 catties of miscellaneous grains per person is all that is needed for the disaster relief, even if they boil and drink all day, it is not enough to survive the cold winter.But how do the common people know how much money the imperial court distributed for disaster relief?As long as it is better than nothing to get by, when I can't stand the hunger, I go to the mountains to hunt, dig grass roots and gnaw bark.Just wait for the next spring to replant, and there will be new hope. As long as you are alive, you are hope.
