Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

"Announcement of marriage. My name is Jiang Chen, male, 17 years old, healthy and handsome, with a wedding house, and the skills of a carpenter inherited from my ancestors."

"I hereby make this announcement to declare that I am now looking for wives on a large scale, and I will accept anyone who comes!"

"Any woman of the right age can come to negotiate. (Pretty women are preferred)"

Dajing, West, Zhoujia Village.

A group of villagers were gathering at the door of Jiang Chen, a young carpenter in the village.

Looking at the words on the sign at the door, everyone was shocked!

"Didn't Jiang Chen say before that the taxes were too heavy and he didn't want to get married?"

"Yes, he is just a small carpenter. If he marries a large number of women, can he afford it?"

"Haha, if you marry Jiang Chen, you will starve to death! Although he inherited his father's identity as a carpenter, nothing he makes can be used!"

"Ah, if only Jiang Chen was willing to marry more girls, my two girls are almost old enough, if they don't get married... taxes will have to increase!"

"This……"

Men, women, young and old in Zhoujia Village looked at the sign at the door of Jiang Chen's house and talked endlessly.

The Dajing Dynasty was plagued by wars for years, which resulted in the death of many men and the people's livelihood was in misery.

In order to increase the population, the imperial court issued a decree that men could get married after the age of 16 and women after the age of 14.

Moreover, if a man reaches the age of 18 or a woman reaches the age of 16 and has not yet married, the family will have to pay an additional 30% tax!

The common people were already starving because of the war, and with this 30% tax, who could afford to survive?

So, when they reach the right age, everyone is eager to get married.

But men could not marry anyone they wanted. For every additional woman they married, they would have to pay an additional 10% in taxes.

However, compared with the 30% who do not marry, 10% is still more appropriate.

But there has never been anyone like Jiang Chen who wrote "large-scale weddings, accepting everyone who comes"!

Could it be that Jiang Chen has gone crazy?

Just as the villagers were chirping, the shabby gate of the Jiang family's courtyard was opened, and a young man wearing brown linen clothes and with a pale face staggered out.

……

"My fellow villagers, you have been reading this notice for quite some time. Is there anyone who wants to marry a girl from your family to me?"

"I, Jiang Chen, promise that as long as you marry her to me, I will make sure she lives a good life..."

Jiang Chen stood at the door, speaking anxiously.

But with his shabby clothes and his pale face from hunger, no one would believe that marrying him would have a good ending!

"Jiang Chen, what's wrong with you? On the 15th of next month, the government will organize a bride selection ceremony. Why are you in such a hurry?" The village chief, Old Man Zhou, asked Jiang Chen with a puzzled look on his face when he saw him.

This old man Zhou had a good relationship with Jiang Chen's father. After Jiang Chen's father passed away, he took good care of Jiang Chen, otherwise Jiang Chen would have starved to death long ago.

"Uncle Zhou, I...I really have something urgent to do. I have to get married within two days!"

Jiang Chen said while gritting his teeth.

At this moment, his heart was filled with pain.

Isn't he in a hurry?

If he doesn't hurry up, he will become the first timer to starve to death!

Yes, Jiang Chen is a time traveler.

Last night, Jiang Chen traveled to this world and traveled into the body of his predecessor who died of starvation.

Looking at the bare walls of his house and the clean rice jar, Jiang Chen almost vomited blood!

In this situation, he would starve to death if he stayed for two more days!

But fortunately, God is fair!

Give him a system dad!

However, this system is a bit tricky...

Jiang Chen’s system is called the Human Continuation System.

It can only be activated after Jiang Chen gets married.

Furthermore, the ability of the system is that the materials consumed by Jiang Chen for his woman in order to reproduce the human race will be returned to the system space in multiples!

The multiple of the refund comes from the woman’s comprehensive score!

……

This system is actually pretty good.

But it’s a pity that the predecessor, that scumbag, never got married in order to avoid the 10% tax!

Now, Jiang Chen is going to starve to death after two days of hunger!

"Ugh……"

Zhou Bo looked at Jiang Chen, whose face was filled with anxiety, and sighed helplessly.

With Jiang Chen's reputation, who would want to marry their daughter to him?

That... isn't that just pushing your own daughter into the fire?

"My fellow villagers, I... I don't have high requirements, just a woman is fine... even if she is unmarriageable in your family, I... I am really anxious..."

Jiang Chen looked at the disdainful eyes of the crowd and could only lower his demands.

Now even if he were given an ugly one, he would happily accept it!

Otherwise, he would really starve to death!

"Jiang Chen, I have something else to do at home, I'm leaving first!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I have to go to the back mountain to dig wild vegetables!"

"I have to go back too!"

When the villagers heard Jiang Chen's words, they hurriedly fled in all directions. Even Old Man Zhou shook his head and left.

"Am I really going to starve to death?"

Jiang Chen's face was filled with pain, and he leaned weakly against the door.

His body is too weak.

If I still can’t eat tomorrow, then... I’ll really starve to death!

But at this moment, a long coarse cloth skirt suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen saw this long skirt, his eyes suddenly lit up!

He raised his head hastily.

But when he raised his head, Jiang Chen was completely stunned!

This... is so beautiful!

Less than one meter in front of Jiang Chen, a beautiful woman in a coarse cloth dress was standing here!

……

Although this beauty was only wearing a coarse cloth dress, her tall and fiery figure and extraordinary beauty could not be concealed!

That proud figure, the charm between her eyebrows, and the long hair piled high...

What a charming young woman!

Jiang Chen looked at this all-natural beauty and swallowed his saliva helplessly!

This beauty is not the result of a combination of his worldly technology and life, but is purely natural!

And at this moment, information about this beauty flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

White swallow.

Twenty years old.

A pretty widow famous in the surrounding villages.

Although she has outstanding looks, no one in the surrounding villages dares to touch her.

Even men would avoid her when they saw her, and regard her as a disaster!

And all this is because Bai Yan has killed four husbands in a row!

Ever since Bai Yan got married at the age of fourteen, every one of her four husbands died a violent death!

Some were hacked to death by bandits, some fell off a cliff while collecting herbs, and some drowned while fishing in the river. The most bizarre one was the last one, who was scalded to death by drinking porridge!

This... After the death of these four husbands, no man dared to touch Bai Yan, no matter how beautiful she was!

However, Jiang Chen doesn't care about these!

He is an atheist!

He just looked at the system's rating. Bai Yan's overall rating was 9.0, which means that what he spent on Bai Yan could be returned ninety times!

For example, if he gave Bai Yan one kilogram of rice, the system would return ninety kilograms!

This... is simply outrageous!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at Bai Yan with even more passion in his eyes!

When Bai Yan saw Jiang Chen's look, she took a deep breath and said, "Jiang...Jiang, are you willing to marry me?"

"As long as you are willing, I...I am willing to marry you!"
