What a cheating husband

Chapter 35 Planning for a New Life

Knowing her identity, Chen Qing didn't even bother to live in the main room. Fortunately, she had the foresight to carry a quilt over her.I went to the kitchen to make steamed buns with noodles, and boiled a pot of porridge. When I was full, I sat in the yard and rubbed my legs. Brother Yang sneaked over.

"How is it? I brought some ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, you can apply it on it tomorrow to reduce the swelling." Brother Yang pulled up Chen Qing's trousers and applied the ointment on him.

"Thank you..." Chen Qing choked up a little. He was punished and learned a lesson after only one day in Liang's house, and Brother Yang was the only person who treated him well, so Chen Qing couldn't help being a little moved.

"Don't be sad. In fact, the Liang family doesn't have such big rules. I haven't heard anyone punished by the family after I've been here for so long. Today, I did it for you because you and Zijun did it. Don't be so impulsive in the future." Brother Yang wrinkled Frown kindly to appease Chen Qing.

"Well, I was too impulsive and shouldn't do it," Chen Qing nodded and admitted.

"Zijun hasn't come back yet? That's fine, you can apologize to him when he calms down. He's not a grudge. It's over after this. Don't worry about it, so you won't have a hard time in the future." Brother Yang Instruct carefully.

Chen Qing didn't talk to him, and he wasn't the only one who started the fight. Anyway, it wasn't the first time they fought, so it was a fight, whether it was once or twice, the result was the same.

Brother Yang stayed for a while and then went back. Chen Qing sat in the yard and thought about how to make money.Embroidery work must be done, but I don't know what kind of work the Liang family has for him to do. If he is too busy, he may not be able to spare time for private work.

Since he became a long-term worker of the Liang family, he would not be able to get paid, and he could only rely on private savings to repay the debt. But thinking of 800 taels, Chen Qing couldn't help but frown. He probably wouldn't be able to pay off the debt if he stopped working for 30 years.

Thinking about the fact that I have to be almost 50 years old to pay off my debts, how can an old man make a fortune?It seems that we must think of some more lucrative livelihoods.

That night, Chen Qing slept on the bed made of firewood.On the second day, Chen Qing got up at dawn, emptied the things in the back basket, put on old clothes, and went into the mountain with a sickle.

Chen Qing didn't plan to dig too many things today, but came here to scout some.Chen Qing smiled slightly after seeing the forest path with lush weeds. The traces of someone walking by proved that this mountain is not privately owned, and it is a place where you can pick it at will.

Liangjia Village is backed by a big mountain, not surrounded by mountains like Chenjiagou. This big mountain is much higher than the small hills of Chenjiagou, and the vegetation is more lush. There is also a small bamboo forest in the mountain forest.

In this season, the wild vegetables are all old. It’s okay to eat pickled pickles, but the taste is not good when you eat them arguing.There are patches of hickory to the south and several plum and apricot trees to the north.This mountain is not only high, but also big. Chen Qing walked for an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

Looking high and looking far away, you can have a panoramic view of Qingping County.After coming down from the mountain, it was past mao time, and Chen Qing just changed into a shirt with few patches and went out after warming up the leftover food from last night.

After walking for less than half an hour, Chen Qing arrived at the county seat, entered through the north gate as usual, and went straight to Liangji cloth workshop.

Uncle Liu was also quite surprised to see Chen Qing's arrival. It was the busy farming season, and usually they would not pick up work at this time.After pulling him to talk for a while, he brought up Abi's marriage.

"Abi is married, will the embroidery work be sent directly to Wanliutun or to Xiulian as usual?" Uncle Liu was more concerned about the embroidery work, because Chen Qing asked his aunt not to mention his marriage with his sister, so Uncle Liu didn't know that Chen Qing was actually married, let alone that Chen Bi's marriage caused so many troubles.

Chen Qing thought about it carefully. In the future, she would still have to take over the work herself, so she couldn't hide it all the time, so she confessed that the embroidery work was actually done by herself.

Uncle Liu was surprised at first, but after thinking about it, it was normal for a little brother like Chen Qing to know how to do some embroidery, but it's just that little brothers are rare embroiderers with dexterity.

"It's actually not a shameful thing. You don't want to say that I don't know, how to accept the job, as long as you hand in the embroidery on time. Besides, you signed the contract when you signed it. Strange, people mistakenly think you are a man and don’t explain it, and the embroidery work has to be named as a girl.” Liu Bo smiled amusedly, and didn’t say anything about him, anyway, Master Wanda doesn’t care who the embroidery worker is , as long as the embroidery work can be completed on time.

Chen Qing picked a small job that could be completed within a month and a half, and then notified Liu Bon to arrange embroidery work for him after the farm was busy.This is an old rule, Liu Bo asked him to send it as soon as possible after embroidery, and then sent Chen Qing away.

When Chen Qing returned to Liang's house, he happened to catch up with Li San on duty. Chen Qing was somewhat embarrassed to see Li San, so he lowered his head and called out "Brother San" in a muffled voice.

Li San smacked his mouth and agreed.He pulled Chen Qing over and said, "Hey~ We are old acquaintances too, for the sake of your willingness to call me third brother, I would like to remind you, don't be so stubborn, the boss's words are easy to remember, take it easy and admit your mistake What else can I do? Why let the good life go but you have to make life difficult for yourself?"

Chen Qing nodded and thanked earnestly, "Understood, third brother"

"From now on, you can no longer call me third brother in front of outsiders. You are the boss, and I am a servant. You can't let others hear you." Li San patted Chen Qing on the shoulder habitually, and stopped with a smile.

Seeing Li San like this, Chen Qing felt a little awkward, and sulked, "I'm also an employee of Liang's parents, just like the third brother, so what should I call it?"

"Tsk~ How dare you commit a crime again!" Li San glared at Chen Qing, then whispered again, "The third master is the pampered master of the family, unlike in the village, even if you get in a hurry, you won't hold grudges the next day even if you start a fight. The Liang family can be regarded as a good host, if other big landlords are left behind, they will be punished or sold off."

"Then he hit me, I can't stand it." Chen Qing said a few words, let go of the awkwardness in his heart, and dared to stare at Li San as usual.

"You boy deserves a beating! You won't listen to me! But you've made me suffer. How come I haven't seen you as a brother in the past few years? I don't know how to tie a cloth belt." Li San rolled his eyes, Chen Qing lost another sentence.

Chen Qing grinned, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother pays less."

"Forget it, this matter is over, my old Li is not a fussy person, but this is all over the door, so I have to tie it with a cloth belt, so as not to be misunderstood again." Li San looked at Chen Qing The still bald bun asked.

"Don't wear it! It's inconvenient to go out to work. Besides, I'm a long-term laborer who has paid off debts, and I'm not the real wife of the Liang family. Don't talk about wearing that thing. How do you look like a brother? Wearing it out will make people laugh "Chen Qing said frankly, and sullenly.

"Yeah, you're the one who is reasonable, I knew you were so stubborn, so I didn't ask you to work." Li San punched Chen Qing hard, Chen Qing took it with a smile, and finally reconciled with Li San completely.

"Come and find third brother if you are unhappy," Li San quietly instructed before leaving.

Chen Qing nodded movedly, and entered her courtyard.It was still early, Chen Qing fetched water from the tank to tidy up the house, wiped it inside and out, and only then took off the happy words pasted on the windows.

Next to the kitchen, next to the bedroom, there is a bathroom. The stone bathtub is half the height of a person, and it is connected to the kitchen stove below. As long as the fire is not extinguished, there is always hot water in the pool.

Chen Qing felt that the water was warm, so he fetched water to wash his body well.If there is any place in this house that Chen Qing likes the most, it is the spacious bathroom.Not only is there a bathtub, but there is also a sink under the bamboo pedal next to it. Dirty water can be discharged directly from the bathroom, saving you having to carry it out to pour water after taking a shower.

After Chen Qing took a bath, he took the bucket to fetch water from the patio, filling up both the water tank and the pool in the bathhouse before lighting the fire for cooking.

There are three stoves in the kitchen, one leading to the bathroom and two for cooking.The room on the other side of the kitchen is filled with food, rice and noodles are the most, followed by whole grains, and there is only a row of bacon, not to mention all kinds of spices that are rarely seen in farmhouses.

Chen Qing looked through it roughly, and took some corn noodles and millet.Chen Qing didn't dare to make delicious food when the owner was away, so he just steamed a pot of corn bread and boiled millet porridge for drinking.Stir-fried vegetables are some wild vegetables that I dug back in the morning. Sprinkle more salt and it will go well with rice.

After eating dinner early, Chen Qing took advantage of the dawn to sit in the woodshed and embroider.The firewood house has poor lighting and faces north, so autumn is fine, but winter is likely to be cold and humid.

After embroidering and working, Chen Qing thought about building a kang for herself.There is a row of farm tools next to the firewood room, all of which look new, but at first glance they are items that are not commonly used.

Chen Qing took the shovel and asked Li San for the location before it was dark, and dug the soil and mud.The soil used to make adobe bricks is also particular. Fortunately, they are all farmers, and Li San knows where the soil quality is suitable for what to do.

After doing the mud cultivation, put it in a cool place to dry in the shade, and then clear out half of the firewood room, and use soil, sand, etc. to raise it to half the height of the kang.

Chen Qing slept overnight in a room full of mud, sand and firewood.The next day, at dawn, I ran in and out again to carry mud and sand.After Chen Qing had finished his breakfast, he heard a knock on the door. As soon as Chen Qing opened the door, Shao Fengzhi rushed in first, while Brother Yang stood outside the door and gave him winks frequently.

Before Chen Qing could figure out what was going on, Shao Fengzhi scolded her head and face, "Didn't I tell you to shut yourself up at home and think about your mistakes? What are you doing? Look at the mud and sand here, you think it's the wilderness , can you pick up dirty things at home?"

Chen Qing raised his eyes to peek at Brother Yang, saw him secretly pointing at the ground of the courtyard, and then came back to his senses.After staying in the farmhouse for a long time, there is a grass stick on the ground that may be picked up, but the yard is full of soil and sand, and it is enough to sweep it occasionally, unlike the stone-paved ground, which is quite eye-catching when sprinkled with sand.

"Look at which daughter-in-law makes the house so dirty like you? Do you want me to teach you the housework?" Shao Feng was so angry that she slept in a clean courtyard. At first glance, it felt like a thief.It's okay to be dirty outside, even the third child's house is so dirty, and Zijun has always been a clean person, and he doesn't want to come back when he sees his house like this!

"I'll clean it up right now." Chen Qing admitted his mistake with a low eyebrow, indeed he didn't pay attention, and originally wanted to clean up together after the kang was built, but he didn't expect to provoke scolding.

"Since I have accepted the task of teaching you, I have to teach you well, lest my parents say you have no rules. Zijun has always been clean, so you should tidy up quickly, or you will never enter this house." Shao After Feng Zhi finished speaking, she turned her head and went back to her own yard.
