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

Xu Wenyan noticed that Chen Sanlin didn't look well when they were eating noodles.

But he rarely has such moments, and he doesn't know when he has been offended.

"Brother Chen? Shall we go shopping together?" Xu Wenyan asked cautiously.

"it is good."

Because it was already afternoon and some stores were closed, he bought some noodles and went home. Chen Sanlin was depressed all the way. He didn't like to talk in the first place, and with this "I'm unhappy" expression on his face, Xu Wenyan really didn't know what to do.

Even when he slept at night, he lay on his side with his back to Xu Wenyan.

"Brother Chen?" Xu Wenyan carefully poked Chen Sanlin on the back.

"Ah."

"Are you unhappy?"

Chen Sanlin slowly opened his eyes and thought to himself that you have some conscience: "No."

"Okay." Hearing Chen Sanlin say that he was not unhappy, Xu Wenyan fell asleep peacefully. It felt different with the new quilt, it was warm.

Chen Sanlin: “…”

How come this is different from what he thought?

If you don't want to coax him, then don't coax him. He can bear it all on his own.

The persimmon cake business continued for another day.

Today he sold more than two taels of silver, including the three taels from yesterday, so he had five taels of silver in hand. He bought a pot of rapeseed oil and some seasonings. Xu Wenyan was afraid that the meat he bought before was not enough. Anyway, it would not go bad if he pickled it with salt in the cold weather.

So he bought another piece of pork ribs and two ribs. Xu Wenyan planned to go back and make soup. He even bought a year's worth of salt. It was a hassle to go back and forth.

There were still two taels left after buying all the food. Xu Wenyan planned to keep it for the New Year and maybe use it to prepare New Year goods.

As soon as he got off the ox cart with his things, he heard his aunt calling him.

"Is it from the Xu family?"

Xu Wenyan looked at the aunt with a sullen face: "Well, aunt, what's the matter?"

The aunt showed a worried look on her face: "Oh, you should go back quickly. Your brother is waiting for you in your yard with injuries all over his body."

Upon hearing the news, Xu Wenyan was confused at first. It took him a while to realize that he did have a brother here.

The two of them hurried home in a hurry. From a distance, they saw that there were already a lot of people gathered in front of the gray-white house.

"Make way, please make way." Chen Sanlin led the way, and the two of them squeezed into the yard.

In the yard, Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong were standing at the door of the house, looking into the yard with their heads sticking out.

In the yard, Xu Dashan was sitting on a chair and Xiaohu was sitting next to him with a frown on his face.

"Brother Xu, Brother Sanlin, you're back." Seeing the two of them, Xiaohu immediately sat up and walked towards them as if he had seen a savior. Xu Dashan had been here for two hours and had been asking him when his brother would come back.

And the scar on his arm was still dripping with blood.

Xu Dashan was also delighted when he saw Xu Wenyan: "Second brother."

Although somewhat puzzled, Xu Wenyan still asked seriously: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Xu Dashan lowered his head and explained the reason for the incident.

Originally, a family in the county was planning to marry a daughter-in-law. The man was already 35 years old this year, but due to some brain problems, his intelligence was only that of a teenager.

In the county, no one was willing to marry their daughter to their family, so the family prepared to use a high price of betrothal gifts to marry a girl from the countryside, a full fifteen taels of silver, which was a considerable sum of money in the village.

Xu Wenyan's mother, Zhang, had the idea of ​​cheating others for the betrothal gift again. The two parties had already met. The parents of that fool liked Xu Jinhua very much. She was no less pretty than the girls in the county. If they said that Xu Jinhua was also a girl of the village level, how could she agree?

Xu Jinhua had been making a fuss at home for several days but Zhang just refused to return the betrothal gift. The incident had caused a lot of uproar in the past few days, and this was also what Aunt Zhao wanted to tell Xu Wenyan.

However, on the wedding day, which was yesterday, Xu Jinhua disappeared and escaped from the marriage.

The man's family went to Xu's house to make trouble, but Zhang was not a good-tempered person. She said that not only did they lose their daughter, but she also wanted the betrothal gift back.

The man originally just wanted to get back the betrothal gifts, but Zhang refused to give them back no matter what. That’s when the two sides got into a fight. This morning, the government just sent a bailiff to handle the case.

The bailiff acted decisively and said that both parties were injured and the matter would be settled as long as the silver was returned.

But Zhang had already used five taels of silver, four taels were used to repay debts, and one tael was used as an introduction fee for the matchmaker.

They only paid back ten taels, and they couldn't even pay the remaining five taels with their lives.

This man not only lost his daughter but also received a beating for deceiving his wife. Now his father Xu Fu is still in jail.

"Second brother, please save our father and mother." Xu Dashan also had tears streaming down his face. After all, in this era, going to jail was a huge matter for farmers like them.

Xu Wenyan sighed heavily: "Brother, you also know how mother treated me. I have separated my household now. I have no relationship with the Xu family anymore. You all know this."

Xu Dashan went forward to grab Xu Wenyan but was pushed away by Chen Sanlin and almost fell to the ground: "Second brother, I really have no other choice. Now only you can save Dad."

It was the first time that Xu Wenyan saw a man cry like this, except in short videos. Xu Wenyan knew that Xu Dashan was a filial son.

But isn't he feeling like a fool by using moral blackmail like this? Xu Wenyan looked at Xu Dashan, whose wound was still bleeding.

"Xiaohua, bring the cloth on the top of the cabinet and the bottle of medicine next to it." Xu Wenyan shouted into the house.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaohua took the thing and handed it to Xu Wenyan in a few steps.

Xu Dashan was taken to the inner room, his shirt was taken off, and his wound was carefully examined.

But his action made Chen Sanlin, who was already unhappy, frown even more.

After asking Chen Xiaohua to fetch some water, he first wiped the area around the wound. This bottle of medicine powder is Chen Sanlin's external injury medicine. It is inevitable to get injured when going out hunting, so he would keep some at home.

Xu Wenyan treated his wounds while whispering, "It's not that I don't want to help. First, I'm no longer a member of the Xu family and I don't have that obligation. You saw how heartless my mother was when she kicked me out, brother.

Second, this matter is entirely my mother's own fault. It's okay that I cheated in marriage once, but Chen Sanlin is a good person and doesn't care. Do you think everyone is kind? If Brother Chen's parents were still alive, they would also come to seek justice.

Also, I told you all this because you and Big Brother took care of me when we were kids. If it was Mom who came today, she wouldn’t even be able to enter this room.”

These words made Xu Dashan silent, and he didn't even feel the pain in his arm.

"I understand the logic, second brother, please help us again, for the last time. I'm begging you as your eldest brother, please save dad. You know dad, he just doesn't have his own opinion, but he still has feelings for you." Xu Dashan became more and more excited as he spoke, and pretended to kneel down.

Xu Wenyan was quick to stop them. After all, these were relatives of his original body. Since he had traveled through time, he would do his last filial duty on behalf of his original body. "Okay, I understand. This is the last time, brother. I don't want you to disturb my life again."

Seeing Xu Wenyan agreed, Xu Dashan nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course."

Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin. Although he was still angry, Chen Sanlin still took out the silver, a total of four taels. Now their family really couldn't take out a penny.

"This is all I have, big brother. You don't need this money. It's because I owe my parents for giving birth to me. I don't have any more."

After finally seeing Xu Dashan off, the atmosphere at home became solemn.
