Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Old Chu didn't dare to think further. He didn't dare to have any ideas now. He just said in a low voice:

"The head of the village will listen to you, but we don't even have anything to eat now. What do you think we should do?"

"There is always a way out. Go to the mountains and fields to find some food, and sell what you find if you can."

Although the head of the village also felt that the Chu family was now penniless and had nothing even to eat, he could not take the initiative to offer to send things to help.

The main thing is that this family's character is there. They can be kind, but it's not much.

Seeing that things were almost over, Chu Qinghe hurried home as there was still one thing that had not been resolved.

The old Chu family was in chaos all morning, but Chu Qingmei's life was much better.

When Shen returned from her mother's house yesterday, she was hanging up the clothes washed by the river at home. Recently, she has been taking care of Mr. Lin and his son's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

I had to handle every single thing myself, which was exhausting. The most important thing was that there was very little money left in the family.

Seeing Chu Qingmei come back, her nose is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes.

"You still have the nerve to come back. Didn't I tell you? If you don't have thirty taels of dowry, don't even think about coming back."

As he said this, he crossed his arms and looked down at Chu Qingmei.

Chu Qingmei was very happy because she had just received forty taels of silver. She did not take Shen seriously and replied with a disdainful tone:

"Mother-in-law, the reason I can come back is, of course, because I have brought back the dowry money.

After all, in Qinghe Town, there is no family that can give thirty taels of silver as a dowry at once. My parents gave me so much silver because they felt sorry for me. "

Qingmei spoke with a proud tone, as if she were the daughter of a wealthy family, and had a rather insolent attitude.

When Shen heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and put on a smiling face:

“Oh, Qingmei, if you ask me, it’s your Chu family that’s so wealthy that they can easily come up with thirty taels of silver.

From now on, if both of our two families pass the imperial examination and become successful candidates, we can enjoy a good life!"

As he said this, he held Chu Qingmei's hand and looked her up and down.

"It's better to take care of you at your mother's house. I have no choice. We have too many people to take care of you at home. It's just that Mingze misses you every day and wants you to stay with him."

When Chu Qingmei heard that her husband also missed her, her heart was filled with warmth and her face flushed.

"How have you been these past two days, my husband? Have you felt better?"

Shen sighed: "What's good about it? There is no money at home now, the food mother cooks is not tasty, and he misses you so much that he can't eat.

It just so happens that you are back today, you can give your dowry to mother, and we can improve our food today."

Chu Qingmei cursed inwardly at the old hag, who only knew how to take money from her and changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

However, thinking that the money was also for her husband's studies, Chu Qingmei reluctantly handed the money to Shen.

"Mom, please make something delicious for my father-in-law and my husband, so they can get better quickly."

When Shen saw the silver, she was instantly delighted.

"Yes, yes, you are right. Our family really cannot do without you. I will go and cut a pound of meat to feed them and my grandson."

So, that night, the Lin family had meat dishes for the first time ever.

At night, Chu Qingmei and Lin Mingze lay in bed and told him what had happened in Old Chu's house in the past two days.

At first, Lin Mingze was very happy because Chu Qingmei brought back thirty taels of silver, and he was also gentle and considerate to her.

But later, when Lin Mingze heard Chu Qingmei say that in just over a month, Chu Qinghe had actually started a business, bought land, built factories, built houses, opened a garment shop, and even invented a plow for reclaiming wasteland and farming, he became completely uneasy.

Any one of these things done well can bring success to the family.

Just taking the matter of making the plow and harrow as an example, the Dasheng Dynasty has always attached great importance to agriculture. Ensuring that the people have enough food and clothing is the wish of the emperor and the people of Dasheng.

If this was invented by a student, he would not even have to take the imperial examination and would be directly promoted to an official. This would be a good and great thing that would benefit future generations!

Now it has fallen on a woman like Chu Qinghe. It's such a waste of God's gift. What a pity!

For a moment, Lin Mingze felt like he was picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

A breath got stuck in his throat, causing him to cough.

Chu Qingmei saw her husband suddenly coughing and thought he was unwell, so she quickly stood up and gently stroked his chest.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mingze brushed it away with his hand and said coldly:

"I'm fine, go to sleep!"

After Chu Qingmei was brushed away, she was also stunned. Her husband was like two completely different people before and after. What happened?

Unable to figure it out, Chu Qingmei shook her head and lay down to sleep.

Lin Mingze couldn't fall asleep at all, if he hadn't been bewitched by Chu Qingmei.

I will not be so foolish as to eat the forbidden fruit with him.

So now his fiancée is Chu Qinghe.

Not to mention that everything in her house now belongs to her, given how much Uncle Chu loves Qinghe, her dowry in the future will not be small, much more than just thirty taels.

The more Lin Mingze thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Chu Qingmei turned over in her sleep and put her arm on Lin Mingze's chest. Lin Mingze looked at this extremely ordinary wife and felt really displeased.

It was like swallowing a fly, I couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and I felt retching in my heart.

I tossed and turned all night and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

I was awakened by Shen's voice calling me to eat in the morning. When I opened my eyes, Chu Qingmei was not in the room.

Probably he went to help with the cooking. He sighed and saw his wife coming in with some water for him to wash up. His expression looked a little better. This wife was quite good at serving people.

After Chu Qingmei carefully cleaned Lin Mingze, she took a crutch and gave it to him, while she supported him on the other side and walked him to the dining table in the main room.

When I arrived, I found that Mr. Lin was able to get up and eat today.

Perhaps it was because Chu Qingmei came back yesterday that the family started to improve the food. Seeing the young couple, Lin Xiucai said to them with a smile: "Qingmei, Ze'er, come and sit down to eat."

After sitting down, I found that the breakfast the Lin family had today was buns made of two-grain flour. One was green and probably had vegetarian filling, and the other had oil oozing out and must have been meat.

Shen stood up and distributed the buns. Lin Xiucai and Lin Mingze each had two meat buns, Shen had one meat bun and one vegetarian bun, and Chu Qingmei had two vegetarian buns.

"Qingmei, you are pregnant, you can't eat too much meat, I'm afraid the baby will grow too big and it will be difficult to give birth. Just eat vegetarian food!"

Chu Qingmei felt a chill in her heart immediately, not to mention that these were all foods bought with the money she brought back.

Even if I eat for free in this house, that's understandable because I'm pregnant with the Lin family's child.

Cursing the old hag in her heart, Chu Qingmei smiled and said, "Mom, you're right. I'm tired of eating at my parents' house these days. I don't mind this."

Seeing that she was sensible, Shen said nothing more and just smiled and nodded.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qingmei changed the subject:

"But your grandson is a greedy cat, he always has to eat some meat.

Otherwise, after everyone in the family has finished eating, he will force me, his mother, to cook a meat meal.

My mother's house has been in a lot of trouble these days, either braising pork or stewing pork belly.

Mother, how about you give me some more money, and I will go and cut some meat for your grandson later?"
