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

After Luo Sanyuan came back, he also vented his anger.

Those days, I helped Wang Zeren deliver memorials day and night to deal with the issues of deserters and taxes. Sleeping two hours a day was considered too much.

Although Luo Sanyuan is timid and submissive at home, he strikes hard outside and will really take action if something happens.

He punched him almost every time and he felt comfortable with the beating. He then sent the money to Chen Xingjie the next day. Today, they drove a mule cart to the county together. Xu Wenyan handed eight taels of silver to Luo Sanyuan.

"What are you giving me the money for? As wages?" Luo Sanyuan took it and weighed it.

"The work you did is worth nothing." Xu Wenyan stared at him and said, "You and Xiaoman brought back that fish. I will give you a share after I sell it. You are not allowed to keep it for yourself."

Luo Sanyuan put it directly into his pocket and went to the county to buy a backpack and some delicious food for Xiaoman.

When they arrived at the county, several people wanted to go about their own business: "Brother Xingjie, we have to go and do our work. You can just drive the mule cart back after you finish your work."

Luo Sanyuan did not follow Xu Wenyan and the others. Instead, he went to the cloth shop and bought the same style of backpack as Xu Wenyan, also in white. In addition, he also bought a large quilt and a mattress.

Xiaoman’s bed was too hard, so when she slept with Chen Sanlin these two days, she made the bed wider, otherwise it would be difficult for the two of them to sleep sideways.

When winter comes, the sheets and quilts will not be enough. You have to buy them sooner or later, so buy them early so that you can use them as a cover in case the weather changes.

Along the way, he wanted to buy almost everything he saw. Xiaoman had nothing at home anyway, so he bought everything he saw. This went on for two days, and Wei Ren would come looking for him if he couldn't find it.

Every bit of doing something for Xiaoman counts.

Before he had walked for long, he had so many bags in his hands that he could no longer hold them. Luo Sanyuan hurried to the county government office, hoping to catch up with Chen Xingjie on his way back.

The passers-by on the street were all surprised to see him carrying so many bags. Was there going to be another war? Was he moving?

As soon as I walked to the gate of the county government office, I saw Chen Xingjie talking to a man with a scar on his face.

"Brother Chen, my little brother's matter..."

Chen Xingjie also knew what Xu Dashan and the others had done, and he didn’t have much of a favorable impression of Xu Dashan: “Xu Wenyan is no longer a member of your Xu family.

He is now a member of my Jixiang Village. As long as I am the village chief, I will protect him. Don’t even think about moving into my Jixiang Village.”

Seeing that Xu Dashan wanted to say something, Luo Sanyuan walked forward and pushed Xu Dashan back with the thing in his arms.

Afterwards, he took Chen Xingjie out of the county government office.

Xu Dashan was about to chase him out, but this man was so bold that he even beat people in front of the county government office.

Xiao Hu hurriedly grabbed Xu Dashan and said, "Brother Dashan, you can't afford to offend this man. He is here to work for the lieutenant of Dianzhou. He is a sixth-rank lieutenant of Zhaoxin. Even the county magistrate is wary of him. You'd better not get into trouble with him."

This sixth-rank official is not too high or too low, but Wang Zeren is young, so his future development is promising.

Xu Dashan was also anxious. He always felt that he owed Xu Wenyan, so he wanted to settle down in Jixiang Village and go back to live there for a few days during the holidays to see if he could ease the relationship with his younger brother over time.

Now it seems that it is not possible. When Xu Dashan heard that Chen Xingjie became the county magistrate just now, he had this idea. He thought that this matter was already a sure thing.

I didn't expect that Chen Xingjie also knew about the fact that I borrowed money that year. Their village is really much more united than my own village.

Today, Xujia Village is headed by an elderly man named Xu who has the longest seniority, and almost all the villagers are outsiders.

Xu Dashan went back and found that almost all the people he knew were dead. The village was full of outsiders, who made it a chaotic place.

Besides, the family's land had been sold to pay for Mr. Xu's father's medical treatment. Even if he went back, he would just be guarding a dilapidated house at most. It was meaningless.

Now I can get one or two taels of silver from the court every month, and I also have money approved for military merit. As long as I don't spend money too lavishly, I don't have to worry about the rest of my life.

Luo Sanyuan carefully put the things into the mule cart and asked Chen Xingjie: "Who is that boy?"

"He is Xu Wenyan's biological elder brother. However, their family has fallen out and Xu Wenyan doesn't recognize him." Chen Xingjie drove the mule cart anxiously.

Wang Dongmei is about to give birth, and he is anxious to go back.

"What happened to their family? How could Xu Wenyan, such a good person, break up with his family?" Luo Sanyuan was puzzled, even though Xu Wenyan's words were not nice.

But he is actually a warm-hearted person and it is easy to make friends with him. What kind of family members could make him so angry that they would cut off all ties with him?

Chen Xingjie didn’t know much, so he simply explained it to Luo Sanyuan.

Hearing this, Luo Sanyuan was also very angry: "It's better to break up. If my mother does this to me, I..." Luo Sanyuan didn't know what he would do, after all, his mother treated him very well.

The two chatted all the way.

As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Rong Xiaoliu standing there anxiously. After seeing the mule cart, he shouted hurriedly.

"Brother Xingjie! My sister-in-law is about to give birth!"

"What?!" Chen Xingjie whipped the mule, and the old mule quickened its pace and ran hard.

He almost crawled out of the car. Many people gathered in the yard. Zheng Liwei saw him coming and shouted to the people around him: "The village chief is back, get out of the way!"

Everyone made way for Chen Xingjie, and several aunts who were more familiar with him began to comfort him.

"The midwife was already busy, so she just brought the baby in. You got there just in time."

Chen Xingjie's face was covered in sweat, and he was panicking: "Luckily I made it in time, Aunt Zhu, why didn't I hear my wife's voice?"

Giving birth is supposed to be painful, so why hasn't Wang Dongmei cried out yet? Could she have fainted from the pain?

But if that were the case, the midwife would definitely come out.

But he couldn't go in, so he could only pace anxiously in front of the door.

Wang Cuijuan and Zheng Liwei's wife were also helping inside, and after a while they heard the baby crying.

"Wha-ah. Wha-ah."

To Chen Xingjie's ears, the sound was incredibly beautiful.

As the door was pushed open, Mrs. Zhong opened the door and said, "Village Chief, my wife gave birth to a boy!"

"Okay." Chen Xingjie was stunned and walked inside slowly.

Wang Cuijuan wrapped the baby in cotton cloth and brought it to Chen Xingjie to see: "It's a big fat boy." Wang Cuijuan said softly.

She has never given birth to a child, and it is precisely because she has never given birth that she loves children so much.

Chen Xingjie smiled foolishly and nodded, looking at the child: "How is Dongmei?"

"inside."

Chen Xingjie hurried in and saw Wang Dongmei still resting on the bed: "Why don't you lie down? Are you tired? Are you in pain?"

The midwife looked at the short but handsome village chief and said with a smile: "I have been delivering babies for decades, but this is the first time a baby has gone so smoothly."

Seeing the smiling faces of the midwife and his wife, Chen Xingjie was also happy. He wiped the sweat off Wang Dongmei's forehead with the back of his hand and said, "What does it feel like?"

"Ha, what's the feeling? It's just like taking a shit, it just comes out in a flash."

"Hahahaha, the village head's wife speaks really interestingly." This sentence made all three women in the room laugh.

Mrs. Zhong smiled with her eyes curved: "Dongmei, I really envy you. When I gave birth to that girl in our family, I was so exhausted."

"Oh, isn't it? The delivery went so smoothly, this is Fuwa!"

Chen Xingjie nodded, smiled, stood up, and handed the two taels of silver in his hand to the midwife: "I'm really sorry to bother you these days. Thanks to you, my Dongmei's delivery went so smoothly."

This is the custom in rural areas. If a child is born successfully, a red envelope must be given to the midwife. Chen Xingjie had prepared it long ago and originally wanted to give only one or two taels, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly.

The amount of the red envelope given depends entirely on your heart. It is said that the more you give, the healthier and more capable the child will be.

The midwife happily took the silver. She was truly the head of the village and was very generous in giving.

All the women in the village knew that the village head's wife had given birth to a boy, and they all praised her for being so lucky.

But Wang Dongmei knew that no matter whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl, this man would not have any opinion about her.

Wang Cuijuan returned the child to Wang Dongmei. Perhaps because the child was tired of crying, the child soon fell asleep in Wang Dongmei's arms.

The child's name was Chen Zhao, a name the couple had chosen at the beginning.

The word "Zhao" means bright, and the couple only hopes that everything will be bright for their child in the future.

There will be a lot to do after that. The family has to prepare a banquet, and the village chief will host it, and almost everyone in the village will come.

It can't be too vague.
