Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

The next morning, Jiang Chen took out the pickaxe and chisel he bought in town, as well as two bamboo baskets, and planned to take Zhou Laosi and Laowu up the mountain.

But when the three of them just reached the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people walking towards them from a distance.

Those people in front and behind were county yamen runners, and in the middle were young girls!

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen immediately realized what the other party was doing!

Today is the fifteenth!

It’s the day when the government gives out wives!

"This……"

Zhou Laosi and Laowu were shocked when they saw Jiang Chen staring at the team.

Isn’t it enough that Jiang Chen has two wives?

Still want to marry?

What about their sister-in-law?

"Fourth and fifth brothers, let's not rush out. Let's go and see what's going on first." Jiang Chen said eagerly.

When the fourth and fifth brothers heard what Jiang Chen said, although they were reluctant, they had no choice but to follow Jiang Chen.

The three of them came to the village together.

When the three men arrived in the village, the villagers were already gathered in the open space in the middle of the village to watch the excitement.

This time, the government brought more than 30 girls of marriageable age.

However, Jiang Chen took a quick look and didn't see anything good. The ratings were all too low, so it would be better not to buy them!

However, there are still two bachelors in Jiangchen Village who have chosen wives.

These two people are not young anymore, but they didn’t dare to get married before because of their poor family conditions.

But nowadays, you have to marry even if you don’t want to, otherwise there will be additional taxes.

In addition, Jiang Chen was going to open a workshop, so they also felt confident.

When the yamen runners saw that only two women were chosen, they shook their heads helplessly.

But they didn't say anything. After all, this is the era we live in. No matter which family it is, having one more mouth to feed is a considerable pressure.

……

However, just when these people were about to leave, Jiang Chen stood up.

"Two yamen runners, please wait a moment."

"Ok?"

The two yamen runners couldn't help but frown slightly when they heard Jiang Chen's words.

One of the bailiffs frowned and looked at Jiang Chen.

"busy?"

Jiang Chen smiled and gestured to the yamen runner to come in.

The bailiff followed Jiang Chen to the side in confusion.

"Okay, if you have something to say, just tell me. We still have to go to several villages!" the bailiff said impatiently.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly, then took out the change he got from eating in town, a total of four taels.

"This……"

The yamen runner couldn't help but brighten up when he saw the four small silver coins Jiang Chen stuffed into his hands!

In this day and age, who doesn’t like money?

"Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me!" The bailiff looked at Jiang Chen in a friendly manner.

"Brother Yamen runner, it's like this, I also want to get married..." Jiang Chen said a little embarrassedly.

"Well! Then just pick any one you like. It's no problem to pick more than one!" said the bailiff with a smile.

"No no no!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly stopped the bailiff.

"Brother Yamen Runner, it's like this, I...I want to marry a beautiful wife, preferably one with a skill, such as weaving, embroidery, or medical skills."

"As long as you find the right one, I'll take as many as you want. I won't refuse anyone!"

"This……"

When the yamen runner heard Jiang Chen's words, he couldn't help but frown.

"Brother, there are too few women like you want. To be honest, those with this kind of looks are usually picked up by wealthy families. You have to wait and see!"

Jiang Chen felt helpless when he heard this.

In this era, most beautiful women ended up like this, being chosen by wealthy families to be concubines or maids.

Or... being sold to a brothel.

……

"Then thank you for your help, brother. If you meet me, please send someone to tell me. My name is Jiang Chen and everyone in the village knows me." Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Jiang Chen!?"

When the bailiff heard Jiang Chen's name, his face changed drastically!

"You...you are Jiang Chen, the Jiang Chen who can make the Qiqiao Box?"

"Brother Yamen runner, do you know me?" Jiang Chen looked at the Yamen runner in confusion.

Is he famous now?

"Of course I know!"

The yamen runner said excitedly: "Brother, our master is full of praise for you, and the third master even said you are his brother!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your affairs!"

"Thank you so much, brother!"

Jiang Chen also smiled when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate praised him highly. It seemed that things would be easier!

When Jiang Chen and the yamen runner came back, they were already arm in arm, looking like real brothers.

The villagers were all shocked when they saw this scene!

First it was Mr. Xue San, then the yamen runners.

This... How come Jiang Chen has become more and more powerful since he got married?!

Isn’t it said that white swallows bring bad luck to husbands?

Why is it different when it comes to Jiang Chen?

While these people were watching Jiang Chen distracted, the bailiff had already taken his men away.

"Jiang Chen, do you know these yamen runners?" Village Chief Zhou couldn't help but ask Jiang Chen.

"I don't know him, we were just chatting casually."

Jiang Chen smiled at the village chief, then took Zhou Laosi and Laowu up the mountain.

After they left, the villagers went about their business.

However, when Jiang Chen brought Zhou Lao Si and Lao Wu to the location of the coal mine, Lao Si and Lao Wu were stunned!

……

"Brother Jiang, you want to dig black stone!?"

"Brother Jiang, we can't dig! Although this black stone can burn, it can kill people!"

The two hurriedly persuaded Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a way to prevent people from dying."

"However, you two brothers must remember that what happened today must not be spread!"

"This……"

Zhou Laosi and the other man looked confused.

Logically speaking, with Jiang Chen's financial resources, even if he didn't buy charcoal, he could still buy firewood!

Why take the risk of digging for black stone?

However, the two of them still followed Jiang Chen's arrangements and started digging honestly.

After a while, the three men dug two baskets of black stones and left.

But after Jiang Chen returned home, he couldn't help but frown.

Because there are actually quite a few people at home.

Those who were doing carpentry work were all in his yard, and it was a mess.

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, he realized that the decision he made yesterday was wrong.

"Jiang Chen is back!"

"Brother Jiang is back!"

"Brother Jiang, is there anything we can help you with?"

"Brother Jiang!"

When everyone saw Jiang Chen, they came forward one after another.

They were so friendly to Jiang Chen that they felt like they were seeing their own brother.

Jiang Chen saw this scene and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone stop for a moment, I have something to say."

"Good good."

When everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, they all hurried over.

Jiang Chen saw everyone gathered and said with a faint smile: "Everyone, my house is too small. If we all work together here, we won't be able to stretch out our hands."

"How about this, Zhou Laoer will take everyone to the workshop to make spinning wheels."

“This is convenient too!”

"This……"

When everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, they couldn't help but look a little disappointed.

They also want to get closer to Jiang Chen and let their wives come to work as soon as possible!

But now...
