Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

"Ok?"

Bai Yan was slightly startled when she heard Jiang Chen's words.

But when she saw Jiang Chen's fiery eyes, she lowered her head shyly.

"This... In broad daylight..."

"Gululu..."

Before Bai Yan could finish her words, Jiang Chen's stomach made a rumbling sound.

"Husband, are you...are you hungry?" Bai Yan asked with a frown. Did she just think wrongly?

"Yes, I... I haven't eaten since yesterday. There's no rice at home. I..."

The more Jiang Chen spoke, the lower his voice became.

He had vowed at the door before that he would give the woman who married him a good life.

But now...

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly, and glanced around the courtyard at the man who was doing carpentry work.

This is the only thing in his house that can be exchanged for rice, so he might as well sell it first!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt extremely distressed!

This dog system!

It’s really deceptive!

The materials must be consumed and returned!

Can't we just give him some silver as a reward like the super rich system next door! ?

He needs to consume supplies, but the prerequisite is that he must have supplies!

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly and walked towards the **.

But at this moment, Bai Yan ran into the house and brought out a bowl of millet porridge.

"Husband, this is the porridge I just made. It's already cooled down. Please have a sip!"

"It's all my fault. My family doesn't like me and didn't bring me a dowry..."

"Husband...Husband, please don't despise me. I...I will eat less in the future. I will give you all the food..."

"Woooooooo..."

Bai Yan said this and began to cry painfully.

In the Dajing Dynasty, when a woman got married, even if she was chosen to be a concubine, her family had to give her more or less a dowry, otherwise she would be looked down upon.

……

However, Bai Yan has been married four times.

Her family had long since stopped caring about her.

Before marrying Jiang Chen, Bai Yan had been living in a dilapidated temple at the entrance of the village.

Not to mention the dowry, even her own food and clothing are a problem.

Now, this bowl of millet porridge is the best Bai Yan can offer!

"Madam, this is not your fault. It's all my fault for not being able to do it. I..."

Jiang Chen felt even more helpless as he looked at the crying Bai Yan.

And at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something.

That means every time he marries a wife, he can participate in the lottery once!

What if I draw money or food...

Jiang Chen was delighted and quickly opened the system to start the lottery!

As the system wheel continued to spin...

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for attaining mastery of the carpenter's craft!"

"My darn thing!"

Jiang Chen was so angry that he cursed!

Carpenter's craft is mastered! ?

Damn!

Is that the skill he lacks! ?

It's money!

money!

"Husband, I...I know I was wrong, you...you can scold me if you want, I...I..."

Bai Yan was so frightened when she heard Jiang Chen's scolding that she kept shaking.

If she hadn't been holding the porridge in her hands, she would probably have cried.

"Ma'am, I...I didn't scold you, don't be afraid."

Jiang Chen comforted Bai Yan with a few words.

In the end, Jiang Chen drank the porridge, then gritted his teeth, picked up the gun, and walked towards the door.

"Husband, what are you going to do?"

"You...you won't want me anymore, right?"

When Bai Yan saw Jiang Chen finish drinking the porridge and leave, she was so scared that tears started flowing again.

"No, you stay at home and wait for me while I go out to get some food!"

Jiang Chen said this with a smile on his face, then left without looking back.

How could he not want such a good daughter-in-law! ?

However, a man cannot let his wife go hungry!

……

Jiang Chen took the gun and walked towards the town.

It was almost noon now. If all went well, he would be able to return with food in the evening!

However, this ancient time was really terrible!

Travel basically depends on walking!

Can't we just get a horse bus?

However, even if there is a horse bus, he doesn't have the money to buy a ticket!

An hour later, Jiang Chen arrived at the market town panting.

This was the first time in his life that he had traveled so far.

If it was farther away, he would probably... die of exhaustion on the road!

However, the people in this town are also extremely desolate.

Most of the shops are closed.

Not to mention the people setting up stalls on the road.

This scene was completely different from what he had seen in movies and TV dramas before!

It seems that Dajing... is really depressed!

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and walked towards the rice shop next to him.

"Go, go, go beg for food somewhere else!"

When the rice shop owner saw Jiang Chen, who was covered in dust and dirt, he immediately started to chase him away!

Jiang Chen wanted to get angry, but seeing himself like this...

Forget it, don’t blame others for thinking he is a beggar!

"Shopkeeper, I... I'm not a beggar, I'm here to buy rice!"

"Look, how much rice can this thing be exchanged for..."

Jiang Chen said as he took out his gun.

"**?"

The rice shop owner was slightly surprised when he saw the ** that Jiang Chen took out.

He didn't expect that this little beggar was also a craftsman!

In Dajing, the status of a craftsman is not low!

Higher than ordinary people, second only to soldiers!

"Yes, **, it was passed down from my father. There is no rice at home. Let's see if I can exchange it for some rice..." Jiang Chen asked weakly.

……

In this era, ** can be considered a very good thing.

For example, for a carpenter family like Jiang Chen’s, this can be used as a family heirloom!

Jiang Chen didn't dare to ask for more, but... ten kilograms of rice should be no problem, right?

"You... know how to do carpentry work?" The rice shop owner looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously.

"meeting."

Jiang Chen nodded to the rice shop owner, and then said: "I am a carpenter from Zhoujia Village. This craft is passed down from my ancestors. If you don't believe me, you can go to the village and ask."

Jiang Chen knew that the shopkeeper suspected that he had stolen the **, so he revealed his identity.

There are too many petty thefts these days.

"Okay, since you said so, I believe you!" The rice shop owner nodded.

"Can you give me some rice?" Jiang Chen asked anxiously.

He didn't have time for bullshit; he was starving to death.

"Haha, sure!"

"I'll get you some rice right away!"

The rice shop owner smiled and brought Jiang Chen a bag of millet, which, conservatively estimated, weighed about fifty kilograms.

The price is fair.

But Jiang Chen said: "I don't want millet, I want rice!"

"What!?"

The rice shop owner was shocked!

Jiang Chen is so poor, and he still wants to eat rice?

Rice is a fine grain and is only eaten by rich people!

For someone like Jiang Chen, it’s good enough to just eat millet!

However, seeing that Jiang Chen was about to starve to death, the shopkeeper felt relieved.

These days, many people die of starvation.

Many people want to taste rice before they die.

He has seen many people like this.

In his opinion, Jiang Chen should be the same.

So, the rice shop owner gave Jiang Chen some rice.

"Here are ten kilograms of rice. Take it!"

"Thank you!"

Jiang Chen took the rice and turned to leave.

The rice shop owner looked at Jiang Chen's leaving back and sighed helplessly.

"Alas, they are all miserable people!"

Two hours later, it was already dark.

Jiang Chen returned home exhausted!

After a day of traveling, his legs were weak and his whole body ached!

Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind

But just when he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!

Bai Yan... is actually taking a bath!
