The husband of the time-travelling ruffian

Zhang Xu swallowed the food in one bite, and didn't respond to his words at all.Zhao Chen looked at Zhang Xu's bulging cheeks. He was thin and his face could be lifted up with something stuffed in his mouth. He looked like a hamster hiding food, somehow cute.

There were a lot of pancakes in the pan, and a few people couldn't bear it. They were already starving, and they bottomed out after a while. When Zhang Xu finished eating, there were still two pancakes left in the pan, and Zhang Xu secretly stuffed them into his arms.It is estimated that it was hidden for him.In the past, Zhao Chen didn't let Zhang Xu go to the table to eat. He thought it was bad luck for the old lady to look sick. Going to the table would affect his luck on the gambling table. I didn't leave the house, because Zhao Chen didn't look good when he saw him, and even wanted to reprimand Zhang Xu. Ah Mo was afraid of causing trouble to Zhang Xu, so he stayed in the room all day long. It was not a serious house, it was used as a woodshed use.

The old lady is not too old. People here get married early and have babies early. Aunt Zhang Xu is less than forty. If her husband died and she met a son-in-law like Zhao Chen, she would still be able to be a husband in an ordinary farmer's house. half labor.

Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "Let's ask Ah Mo to come out and have dinner with us in the future. People who stay in the house every day will be bored."

Zhang Xu looked up at him, as if looking at an alien creature.Zhao Chen wiped his face, knowing that Zhang Xu was frightened by the former Zhao Chen, probably Zhang Xu couldn't help but think about what he said.Zhao Chen didn't explain, and yelled at Zhao Xuan to go out.

After noon, Zhang Xu should still be digging wild vegetables on the mountain. He went down the mountain early today, and he also took on a laundry job.There is nothing to eat in winter, Zhang Xu doesn't know how to hunt, and the backers can't get enough to eat, so they can only do odd jobs, such as washing clothes for others, sewing and mending.Exchange some money for the cheapest food in the village, and you can endure the winter.

Zhang Xu cleaned up the stove, and sent the two corn pancakes in his arms to Ah Ma, who took the pancakes and stuffed another into his arms. Brother Xu is not easy, and he can’t eat well when he is pregnant with a child. Well, every time he thinks about it, he cries.

Zhang Xu went to the master's house to get clothes, put a full basin in front of his body, and was about to go to the river to wash, thinking while walking, Zhao Chen had changed a bit.But if he wants to say what has changed, he can't say it. He is still the same person, with a bad temper.But it just feels a little changed.

Zhao Chen went to the river to collect the bamboo baskets. The baskets were soaked in the water all morning, and when they were picked up, they got a fish the size of a palm, which pitifully threw its tail on the riverside.Zhao Xuan was quite excited, he circled the fish twice, grabbing the fish with both hands and was reluctant to let go.

Zhao Chen dug a few more earthworms, put the basket back into the river, cleaned up the poor fish by the river, and led Zhao Xuan home with the fish and a few scattered shrimps in the basket.After finding the only crock pot at home, Zhao Chen fetched water, threw the fish and shrimp together and boiled it. He didn't know how to light a fire, and Zhao Xuan started the fire.There was no seasoning at home, so Zhao Chen finally just put some wine in to get rid of the smell. The wine was brought from Zhang Ruifa’s house in the morning. The vat is home-brewed fruit wine.It is too extravagant to make wine from grain. A jar is full of wild fruits on the mountain, mixed with a little rice wine.

The crock pot was bubbling with hot bubbles, and the smell of fish gradually came out. Zhao Xuan kept swallowing, and circled around the crock pot. Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Xuan, and then at the palm-sized fish that had been placed in the pot. The fish soup in the water is in a panic.

He has no money to buy food, and the family has nothing to eat after this meal. One more thing, Wang Mazi will come to collect the money tomorrow. If he can't get the money, he will write a deed of sale.After writing the deed of sale, Zhang Xu will definitely find him desperately.Zhao Chen rubbed his face, feeling that life really hurts.

Zhao Xuan drank half of the fish soup, and he took a sip of the hot one himself. After looking around the room, he couldn't find Zhang Xu. He probably went out. Zhao Chen sent Zhao Xuan out to play, holding the earthen pot and thinking about it , went to Zhang Xu's house.

Zhao Chen knocked on the door and yelled again, but he didn't hear any movement in the room, so Gu Zi opened the door and went in.

The house was not big, and it was originally a firewood house. Because Zhang Xu moved in, he simply separated it from the middle, put half of the firewood, and half built a simple small bed with wooden boards.

Inside the door, Zhang Xu's grandma was nestling on the bed and nibbling on the pancakes that Zhang Xu sent. Hearing the sound at the door, he quickly hid the pancakes in his arms. The corn dregs were all over his clothes. Before he came, he cleaned them up. After entering, he huddled into a ball and looked at Zhao Chen in fear, fearing that Zhao Chen would say that he only knew how to eat when he didn't work, and that he would not get a good meal after being beaten.Amy Zhang Xu is a typical young brother in this world. She wants more of a modern woman, marrying and obeying her husband, and growing old and obeying her son.He doesn't have a son, so now he listens to his son-in-law. The son-in-law is not a good person, so he has an inexplicable fear of Zhao Chen.Zhao Chen's eyes hurt. Even if he is a little brother, he is still a man. As for seeing him shrink back so much.Look at Zhang Xu, how generous he is, how dare he threaten him, what a man!How nice!

Zhao Chen put down the earthen jar under Zhang Xu's shivering eyes, and said, "Ah, I made fish soup, you can drink some."

Zhang Xu's aunt became even more terrified. She stared at the crock pot like rat poison, and stammered, "Chen, boy Chen, oh...Ama is not hungry, you, you can drink."

If Zhao Chen didn't go out, the man probably wouldn't dare to make a move. Thinking of this, Zhao Chen didn't try to persuade him anymore, and just cut straight to the point.

"Ah, where is the money that Brother Xu hid?"

Since Zhang Xu's aunt got sick, he has been taking medicine constantly. Even if Zhang Xu doesn't eat, he has never stopped his aunt's medicine. Zhao Chen just entered the house and smelled the lingering smell of herbs in the house. Packets brought back from the pharmacy Where does the money for the medicine come from?Zhang Xu must have money in his hands. Zhao Chen didn't think much about it before, but now Zhao Chen is driven crazy by money, and when he thinks about it, he feels something is wrong.

In fact, Zhang Xu hid money, and Zhao Chen could still understand it. After all, there was a gambler in the family, and he couldn't live without hiding money.Even if he were Zhang Xu, he wouldn't even give Zhao Chen food.

Aunt Zhang Xu became even more terrified. Husband hid money, which meant he was divorced from his husband, and he didn't treat him as a family.It is absolutely not allowed in the village.When he was anxious, he became very courageous, and came up to grab Zhao Chen's hand: "Boy Chen, don't talk nonsense, my brother Xu is a good one, how could he do such a thing!" That expression is so genuine, Zhao Chen saw Looking at Zhang Xu's face, he was suddenly blessed to his heart, Zhang Xu didn't tell him about his ability to hide money, did he?

Grandma Zhang Xu was so frightened that she gasped for breath, as if she was about to die, Zhao Chen quickly went to support him and said, "I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense, don't worry. Hey hey ... Ah, take a breath." Zhao Chen gave him a sigh of relief, because he was afraid that he would kill someone if he came here. When he came out of this door, everyone would definitely say that he was the one who killed him. Well, he can't even open a hundred mouths.

Zhang Xu's tears fell like money, and he grabbed his hand and said over and over again: "Boy Chen, I know you look down on our Brother Xu, but Brother Xu really didn't disagree with those people. Brother Xu is not that kind of person, my poor brother Xu..." He began to sing high-pitched, "You can't wrong me brother Xu... I didn't hide money... "Zhao Chen grabbed a cloth towel next to the pillow and wiped his face, suddenly he felt something wrong under the cloth towel. If it was a wooden bed, it would at least be flat. What are these bumps?

Zhao Chen wiped away the teardrops for Ah Ma, watching him leaning on the bed with his eyes closed, gasping, babbling, Zhao Chen stealthily lifted the thin mattress, hey, unintentionally planting willows and willows for the shade, a few wipes under the mattress People who are shining with silver are dazzled, isn't it just silver.

For a moment, he really wanted to pull up the squeaking Ah Mo on the bed, and let him see if his good friend Xu had hidden money.Fortunately, he also knew that Zhang Xu couldn't stand the excitement.

Zhao Chen sneaked a look at it, and saw a few pieces of silver and some scattered copper plates, about seven or eight taels.He took a bag of cloth towels and stuffed them in his arms calmly.Zhao Chen pretended to pat Zhang Xu's chest, and sincerely repented: "Ah, it's all because of me, don't think too much about it, and don't tell Zhang Xu about this, I'm afraid he will Said I was thinking too much and wanted to make trouble with me." Zhao Chen looked sincere, and did not forget to tell him not to tell Zhang Xu about it.Then told him to get up and drink the fish soup, and choked on the pancakes.

As soon as he mentioned the pancakes, Zhang Xu's aunt blushed and forgot about hiding the money.

Zhao Chen took a few steps out of the house and ran to his room like a thief, sitting on the kang and counting money.Zhang Xu didn't have a profitable business, and I don't know how many years he had saved this little money. Zhao Chen didn't want to take the money from Zhang Xu at first.In this world, the husband is heaven, and the money in the family should belong to the husband. It is only natural for him to take this little money. Even for hiding the money, he can punish Zhang Xu whatever he wants.But Zhao Chen came from the modern age after all, and taking money from his wife, Zhao Chen always felt like eating soft food.But who told the time to be urgent, Wang Mazi will come to collect the debt tomorrow, and he silently promises to use Zhang Xu's money for emergency, and then he will return the money to Zhang Xu, double the money!

Thinking of this, Zhao Chen felt that taking the money would be more at ease. He counted carefully, eighty-two zero and three hundred and ten taels, which is too little compared to the debt of 310 taels, but for ordinary farmers, Already quite a few.

Zhao Chen fiddled with the silver in his hand, sat on the kang and thought for a while, then got up and went out to look for Wang Ermazi.

It was one thing to be chased to collect debts, but another to take the initiative to pay back the money. He was going to rush to pay back the money, and maybe he could sell Wang Mazi for a few days, so that Wang Mazi would not make a fuss for a few days.

Wang Mazi lived in the county seat, and Zhao Chen took a ride in the village and went there in a car. The handlebar didn't want to take him with him, but he didn't dare not take him because of Zhao Chen's lust. have to.

Wang Mazi is a gambler in the gambling house, and from time to time, he lends usury and lends money to the gamblers in the gambling house. .Wang Mazi's house is in a small alley behind the gambling house, with a small yard, two main rooms and one kitchen. The yard is messy and no one cleans it up. There are a few sticks in the corner. Can take a beating.When Zhao Chen arrived, Wang Mazi was pressing another person to write the IOU, yelling, "You are lucky to meet me, Wang Mazi. You can ask around here, who only charges one cent a month for borrowing money?"

The tall and thin man nodded and bowed submissively: "Yes, yes, the little ones remember your kindness, don't worry, the villain will definitely pay the interest on time!"

Wang Mazi took a puff from the pipe and snorted, "Then what are you waiting for, let's make your fingerprint." The man hurriedly made a red fingerprint on the IOU, bent his waist and ran away with the money.Only then did Zhao Chen behind him appear.

Wang Mazi glanced at Zhao Chen, feeling a little strange, those who owed debts couldn't dodge the creditors in time, he hadn't asked Zhao Chen for money yet, why did Zhao Chen come here early?

Before Wang Mazi could speak, Zhao Chen leaned forward and squeezed Wang Mazi's shoulders: "Oh, brother Wang is better at living than us, and the tobacco leaves smell delicious."

Wang Mazi glanced at him: "Don't think that if you say something nice, you don't have to pay back the money. If I set a precedent on you, the business will not be able to survive in the future?" After finishing speaking, he took the machete from his waist and bang On the table, "Zhao Chen, don't say that being a brother doesn't show affection, brother also needs to eat."

Zhao Chen's eyes sharpened, and his words were still smooth: "That is, that is, anyone can lack money, and you can't lack money from Brother Wang, isn't this just thinking of Brother Wang? Brother sent money."

Wang Mazi gave Zhao Chen a hard look, and said, "Don't just steal something from someone else's house and plant it on me, so that I can protect you from disaster."

"Look at what you said!" Zhao Chen slapped his hands together, shrugging his face in displeasure, "How can a brother be so unkind, of course the money given to Brother Wang is decent money, if there is a little bit of dishonesty, Wang Go ahead and chop me up and feed it to the dogs!"

Zhao Chen spoke with arrogance, and Wang Mazi took a puff of cigarette indifferently: "It's just not serious, you think I, Wang Mazi, is a vegetarian, so you can frame me? Hmph."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhao Chen smiled, and Wang Mazi said, "Since you have brought the money, let's hand it over."

Zhao Chen stretched his hand into his bosom, and the next moment, crackling pieces of silver and copper plates fell onto the table, no more, no less, eight taels!
