Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 20: Harsh Government is Fierce than a Tiger

"Is there something?"

Zhou Si's wife was stunned when she heard Jiang Chen's words.

"Brother Jiang...Brother Jiang, that's where your fourth brother got injured. It seems like he was shot by an arrow on the battlefield."

"The wound never healed, and it hurt whenever I exerted force..."

"I see."

After hearing Zhou Si's wife's explanation, Jiang Chen seemed to be thinking about something.

The wound on Thursday was probably not cleaned properly and there is still something inside.

If only there were surgical instruments to take the contents out, it would be great, but now...

"Fourth sister-in-law."

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Chen looked back and saw Mu Qingqing walking in carrying a wooden box.

"Sister Qingqing! You are here at last!"

"Hurry up and show it to your fourth brother!"

When Zhou Si's daughter-in-law saw Mu Qingqing, she hurried over to greet him.

It is common knowledge in the village that Mu Qingqing is a medical practitioner.

However, Mu Qingqing usually doesn't take action.

The villagers were afraid of her four brothers-in-law and did not dare to look for her easily.

Today, after Thursday’s accident, Thursday’s wife was really worried, so she went to find Mu Qingqing.

"Well, don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll take a look at my brother." Mu Qingqing said lightly.

However, when she walked into the room and saw Jiang Chen, she was slightly startled.

But it was only for a moment.

Soon, Mu Qingqing cleaned Zhou Si's wounds and wrapped them with herbs.

"Fourth sister-in-law, Fourth brother is fine. He just needs to rest for a few days." After Mu Qingqing finished the treatment, she smiled at Zhou Si's wife.

"That's great! Sister Qingqing, thank you so much!"

"I... I have two pheasants here, you can take them..." Zhou Si's wife took out the pheasants embarrassedly.

There really is nothing else good in her house.

……

"Fourth sister-in-law, forget about the wild chicken. I admire Fourth Brother for his talent. Please don't be polite."

"However, don't let Fourth Brother go up the mountain these days." Mu Qingqing smiled and rejected Zhou Si's wife.

"Ugh!"

Zhou Si's wife sighed and said, "Your fourth brother has long felt that something is wrong on the mountain, but our whole family, young and old, depends on him for support."

"So...he still went there at the risk of his life."

"If Jiang Chen hadn't been here today, I think your fourth brother..."

"Woooooooo..."

When Thursday's daughter-in-law said this, she burst into tears.

"This..." Mu Qingqing's face turned ugly when he heard this.

Life is so difficult for these people!

"Alas! A tyrannical government is more ferocious than a tiger!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.

But after Mu Qingqing heard what Jiang Chen said, she was stunned!

"A harsh government... is more ferocious than a tiger?"

She looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

The last time I went to Jiang Chen’s house, Jiang Chen hummed a song.

Adding to what Jiang Chen just said, this... this...

The more Mu Qingqing looked at Jiang Chen, the more surprised she felt.

When Jiang Chen saw Mu Qingqing's eyes, he smiled slightly: "Miss Qingqing, do you know that there is a kind of herb that can make the wound numb and insensitive after applying it on the wound?"

"Yes, you...why are you asking this?" Mu Qingqing asked puzzledly.

Jiang Chen was delighted when he heard this. He did not answer directly, but looked at Zhou Si's wife: "Sister-in-law, when Fourth Brother wakes up, go tell me. I have something important to discuss with Fourth Brother!"

……

"This is...ok."

On Thursday, the daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and agreed.

Jiang Chen did not stay any longer. The village was in such a mess, and he should go home to be with his wife.

But just as Jiang Chen walked out of Zhou's house, Mu Qingqing's voice came from behind him.

"Jiang Chen, you...wait a moment."

"Um?"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled when he heard this.

He turned around, looked at Mu Qingqing and asked, "Miss Qingqing, is there something wrong?"

At this time, Mu Qingqing was looking at Jiang Chen.

She had met Jiang Chen several times before.

But at that time, Jiang Chen looked so timid that he didn't even dare to breathe.

But now Jiang Chen...

Not only is his speech and behavior generous and appropriate, but he also has an indescribable temperament!

"Miss Qingqing?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown when he saw that Mu Qingqing didn't say anything but kept staring at him.

"what?"

Mu Qingqing finally came back to her senses.

"Jiang Chen, I... let's go back together. It's on the way."

"By the way, I heard that it was you who rescued Fourth Brother?" Mu Qingqing said with a smile.

“Haha, not really.”

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "I heard that Fourth Brother was on the mountain, so I mustered up the courage to rush up, but I didn't save Fourth Brother. Instead, he saved me."

"I just carried him down."

Jiang Chen didn't want to expose the matter of the crossbow, so he gave all the credit to Zhou Si.

"Is that so?"

"Then you are very brave."

"But I don't know why, I always feel that you seem to have become a different person after you got married." Mu Qingqing said with a smile.

But Jiang Chen was shocked when he heard this.

Could it be that Mu Qingqing discovered something?

He always felt that Mu Qingqing was different from other people in the village. Could it be that... she really saw something?

……

"After I get married, I naturally have to take on the responsibilities of a man and protect my family from being bullied and starving, so... some changes are normal!" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

When Mu Qingqing heard Jiang Chen's words, she nodded without comment.

After a short pause, Mu Qingqing suddenly asked, "Jiang Chen, you just said that a harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger. Do you have any opinion on the imperial court?"

"Um!?"

Jiang Chen was even more shocked when he heard this!

Mu Qingqing dared to say such a thing! ?

Moreover, the only person in this village who can say such words is probably... Mu Qingqing!

Other people don't have the courage to do this.

This made Jiang Chen even more curious about Mu Qingqing.

Could it be that Mu Qingqing is a girl who got lost from some big family?

But if that's the case, why would Mu Qingqing marry a villager?

"Jiang Chen, why... aren't you talking?" Mu Qingqing became inexplicably nervous when she saw that Jiang Chen hadn't spoken and was staring at her instead.

"Sorry, I was distracted."

"Your question is really thought-provoking!"

Jiang Chen sighed and said, "Dajing occupies a vast land, but is oppressed by the two surrounding countries and cannot raise its head. It either pays tribute, marries a princess, or pays compensation."

"Who would think this kind of court is good?"

"I feel like... this Dajing is rotten to the core!"

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth in anger when he said this.

This Dajing is like the Song Dynasty in his world.

Bullied by grassland people and by foreigners!

This... is simply garbage!

It’s a pity that he didn’t travel through time and space and become the Emperor of Dajing!

otherwise……

"Rotten to the core..."

Mu Qingqing murmured Jiang Chen's words, her face full of shock.

She subconsciously asked, "So what do you think a good dynasty should be like?"
