Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Chen Sanlin stood up from the bed.

Tidy up clothes that have become wrinkled after sleeping in them all night.

Seeing the person still lying on the bed, his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

In this room of less than ten square meters, the whole air became quiet. Even the red paper pasted on the window fell halfway at an inopportune moment and hung on the window.

Xu Wenyan looked at the man in front of him, with arms that were several times thicker than his own. Xu Wenyan was already imagining how he would be beaten to death: "Forget it, I accept it. If I encounter this kind of thing, I would be beaten to death too." Xu Wenyan thought to himself.

What's the big deal about marrying a man and having him hold me in his arms for a night?

But Chen Sanlin just sighed heavily suddenly, and walked out the door without saying a word.

Now it was Xu Wenyan's turn to be confused.

"You won't hit me?"

"He's pretty nice."

Looking at the red dress on his body, Xu Wenyan became more and more annoyed, so he took off the red dress, put on only the white undershirt underneath, and followed him out the door.

Since this matter was caused by the original body Xu Wenyan, I cannot ignore it even if I have traveled through time.

When he walked out of the room, he saw a mess outside. Only then did Xu Wenyan realize that he was holding a banquet yesterday.

Chen Sanlin's mother, Zhou, was really a ruthless person. The day after her death, she demanded that Chen Sanlin's marriage be a grand one, and even her own funeral was handled in a hasty manner.

Looking at the table full of empty plates, Xu Wenyan really admired these people from the bottom of his heart. If they were having a banquet in modern times, they would have universal plastic bags to pack up the leftovers, but in this day and age you can't just leave with the plates.

They really stuffed it into their stomachs.

After all, in this day and age, we don’t know if we will be able to eat enough for the next meal after this one, so we should eat while we can and cherish it.

How could Xu Wenyan, a germaphobe, tolerate such a scene? When he was working in the library, if he saw people reading without putting the books in the right place, he would go up and have a "polite conversation" with them.

There are not many plates on the table, and the patterns on each one are different. They should be put together from each family. The plates are also very clean. Basically, if you rinse them with water, you can't tell that they are plates that have been used to hold food.

When he came to the kitchen, Xu Wenyan realized how poor this family was.

The entire small kitchen is only big enough for two people to enter. The cooking area is an earthen kang. There is a platform made of several wooden roots on the left, which is used to place the only iron pot in the house.

There should be a few bowls in this pile of plates that belong to the Chen family, but Xu Wenyan doesn’t know which ones they are.

Glancing at the bucket under the table.

is empty.

Xu Wenyan picked up the bucket and walked out. The bucket was made of solid wood and was quite heavy. Just carrying the bucket was enough to make his body feel heavy.

"Cough cough cough... cough. I give in. I'm really that weak." Xu Wenyan never expected that he would cough like this just because he cleaned up a few plates and walked a few steps with the bucket.

Could this guy have tuberculosis?

Xu Wenyan put the bucket down, leaned against the wall, put his hands on his hips and panted, doubting his life in his heart.

Is this the legendary powerless person?

At this time, two children walked out of the house, a boy and a girl. The girl was taller and looked to be about five or six years old. Their faces were a little dark and their shoes had several holes in them.

The two children looked at Xu Wenyan at the kitchen with a frightened look on their faces.

"Hey, kids, is this your home?" Xu Wenyan raised his chin and asked the two children.

The little boy was so frightened by Xu Wenyan's voice that he hid behind his sister.

Chen Xiaohua first shook her head, then nodded.

Xu Wenyan frowned: "No, is it true or not?"

Chen Xiaohua nodded again.

A gust of wind blew, raising some dust. Xu Wenyan coughed a few times again. It was autumn and the weather was a little chilly, so he was still a little cold wearing a shirt.

"Can you fetch water?" Xu Wenyan asked Chen Xiaohua. He really couldn't walk anymore. He was afraid of coughing up lungs if he moved any further, so he shrank into the kitchen.

Chen Xiaohua pursed her lips, ran forward in small steps, quickly picked up the bucket on the ground and ran out of the yard. When Chen Dong saw his sister leaving, he looked at Xu Wenyan and followed her crying.

Xu Wenyan: "No... Am I so scary?"

About half a quarter of an hour (7 and a half minutes) later, Chen Xiaohua came back with her brother carrying some water.

Chen Xiaohua looked at Xu Wenyan timidly, then immediately lowered her head, still holding Chen Dong with one hand.

Xu Wenyan took a look at the bucket and thought half a bucket of water should be enough. Thinking that this little girl was quite strong, he laboriously carried the half bucket of water into the house and started washing dishes.

"Are you hungry?" Xu Wenyan didn't even look at the brother and sister, but just asked suddenly.

Chen Xiaohua was obviously stunned: "Yesterday, I ate it yesterday."

Yes, we used to live in the old lady’s house. The family only had one meal a day. If we were lucky, we could have some porridge at night. Chen Xiaohua’s parents died early. Not long after Chen Xiaohua was born, her father accidentally drowned while walking by the river. You know, the river was only up to an adult’s waist.

When Chen Dong was born the following year, her mother died during childbirth. The two siblings were often said by the villagers to be unlucky, one was born to kill her father, and the other was born to kill her mother. Now the old lady is dead, and now they are here to bring disaster to Chen Sanlin.

You have to know that the average age of those who could become grandmothers in this era was only around 35, which would be considered early death in modern times.

It is also because of this that the two children have very withdrawn personalities and are timid and fearful of things.

"I've eaten yesterday, which means I didn't eat today." Xu Wenyan roughly understood what he meant and finished washing the last plate in a short while. It's not that he washed it quickly, but there was really not much to wash. It was even cleaner than the one Ah Huang had licked, and there was no detergent. If it could have cleared the foam, it wouldn't have taken so long to finish washing it.

Thinking of the detergent, Xu Wenyan became angry again and threw the dishcloth in his hand heavily into the pot, causing a few splashes of water.

Xu Wenyan: "......"

The harm is not great, but the insult is extremely strong.

But his powerless throw scared the two little guys. They knew since childhood that when adults raised their hands, they were going to hit them. The two little kids huddled together, waiting for the pain to come.

Xu Wenyan naturally didn't see the reactions of the two siblings, he was feeling annoyed.

I took a closer look at the stove. There was still half a box of salt in the salt box, and a lot of lard in a bowl with a small hole in it. Apart from that, there were no other seasonings. I looked through the rice bag. There was most of the rice in it, but it was a little yellow. It should be stale rice or not of good quality.

Looking up, he saw a string of teeth hanging on the window, and Xu Wenyan couldn't tell what animal they belonged to.

After cooking some porridge, Xu Wenyan brought three small bowls to the table: "Those two kids, come and eat."

Although Chen Xiaohua was afraid, she dared not disobey what the adults said.

The two children walked to the table and looked at the porridge in the bowl, most of which was rice. Chen Xiaohua burst into tears instantly.

Xu Wenyan was also stunned on the spot.
