Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

"Snapped!"

Just when Qu Jing was feeling aggrieved, a loud slap hit him in the face!

"Father, you...you hit me!?"

After being slapped, Qujing felt even more aggrieved and was about to cry!

This was the first time his father had hit him since he was a child!

"You beast! Do you know how much trouble you've caused?!"

"My Qu family might even be destroyed because of you!"

Qu Yuan roared angrily!

"This this……"

When Qu Jing heard what his father said, he was also dumbfounded!

"Haha, is it that serious?"

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

"mother!"

Qu Jing looked up, and when he saw the person at the door, he ran out with a look of grievance on his face.

The person who came was none other than Qu Jing's mother.

Qu's mother is in her forties, looks fat and quite ugly.

However, when Qu Yuan saw the other party, he stood up hurriedly: "Madam, you are here."

"Ah."

Qu's mother nodded and then sat in the main seat.

"I heard about what happened today. The county magistrate is now on Jiang Chen's side. It must be because Jiang Chen's craftsmanship is useful."

"Once he has used Jiang Chen, he will no longer side with Jiang Chen."

"Also, I just got the news that Dajing's battle against the grasslands this year was not going well. Next year, it is estimated that they will have to pay tribute to the grasslands again. At that time, all places will collect annual cloth!"

"By that time, do you think that old man Xue Wenyan would still dare to be rude to our Qu family?"

"hiss!"

When Qu Yuan and his son heard the woman's words, they both gasped!

The two men had no doubt about the woman's words.

Because the woman came from the largest cloth merchant family in Dajing.

This is also the reason why Qu Yuan would marry her!

……

Although the woman is a collateral relative, her words must be trustworthy!

The so-called annual cloth was a tribute paid by Dajing to the grassland after its defeat in the war.

This requires a lot of fabric.

At that time, the imperial court will ask various places to collect taxes, and the people will pay a part of it, but the most important thing will be solved by local governments.

After all, most people's families are farmers.

It's possible to ask them to produce food, but asking them to produce cloth... might be difficult.

After the local government collected money and grain, they needed to find a way to exchange them for cloth.

At that time, these fabric merchants were the bosses!

"In this case, our Qu family should start stockpiling goods now!"

"We must control all the fabrics in Jinchuan County!"

"When the time comes, Xue Wenyan will definitely come to beg us!"

"And that Jiang Chen... hehe!"

Qu Yuan's face was extremely cold!

He had even seen County Magistrate Xue Wenyan groveling towards him.

As for Jiang Chen, there is also Qin Ruyue...

Ha ha!

They must die!

On the other side, after returning to the village, Jiang Chen left home with a bag of things.

When Bai Yan and Qin Ruyue saw Jiang Chen taking the things out, they were not angry at all, but laughed!

"Two sisters, what are you laughing at?"

Zhou Yuanyuan, who had recovered a little, looked confused when she saw the two of them.

"Silly sister, our husband is going to find sisters for us again!" Bai Yan said with a smile.

"Looking for sisters?" Zhou Yuanyuan was slightly stunned.

I thought to myself: Are you still so happy when your husband goes out to look for his sisters?

Even when I was in the county town, the ladies of wealthy families didn't act like this!

This... is really strange.

But what Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know was that the person Jiang Chen was looking for was someone Bai Yan and Qin Ruyue had already recognized!

……

"Miss Mu, I...I went into town today and bought you some things."

After Jiang Chen arrived at Mu Qingqing's house, he took out his things embarrassedly.

Mu Qingqing smiled when she saw what Jiang Chen brought.

"Haha, Village Chief Jiang is thoughtful."

"Well...as long as you like it."

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly.

For some reason, he always became nervous unconsciously when facing Mu Qingqing.

"I...I'm leaving first."

Seeing that Mu Qingqing didn't say anything, Jiang Chen couldn't stay any longer and quickly turned around to run.

But Mu Qingqing stopped him.

"Wait a minute~"

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen heard Mu Qingqing's voice and turned around quickly.

"Miss Qingqing, do you have anything else to do?"

Mu Qingqing felt amused when she saw Jiang Chen's silly look.

How come this village chief who shows off so much outside becomes like a child when he comes to him?

"Village Chief Jiang, I heard that your relationship with the county magistrate is getting better and better, and you're even in contact with the bandits?"

"You have recruited so many veterans. What...are you going to do?" Mu Qingqing asked in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised when he heard Mu Qingqing's question.

It turns out that Mu Qingqing knew all these things!

He looked at Mu Qingqing and said directly without hiding anything: "Miss Qingqing, I do all this for only one purpose, and that is to live, and live well!"

"Oh?"

Mu Qingqing frowned slightly when she heard Jiang Chen's words: "Don't tell me, if you don't do this, you won't be able to survive?"

"Aren't all the villagers alive?"

"Haha, you call that living?"

Jiang Chen laughed coldly, "What were the villagers like before? They were hungry, cold, and like zombies. Is that what you call living?"

"If I, Jiang Chen, want to live, I must live like a human being!"

……

"What does it mean to live like a human being?" Mu Qingqing asked with a frown.

"Having enough to eat, wearing warm clothes, not being bullied, and having your own thoughts, this is called living like a human being!" Jiang Chen said firmly.

After he came into this world, his first thought was to survive.

Now that he has the capital, what he wants is to live a good life!

Live... with dignity!

"This is the first time I've heard you say this..." Mu Qingqing fell into deep thought after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

"But if you say so, doesn't that mean that 80% of the people in Dajing are living like zombies?"

"That's right!"

After hearing what Mu Qingqing said, Jiang Chen said coldly: "In my opinion, not only are 80% of the people in Dajing living like zombies, I think 99% of the people in Dajing are zombies!"

"They are enslaved by the upper class and have no thoughts of their own. What's the difference between them and the walking dead?!"

"And the imperial court is in chaos. They are not good at fighting wars, but they are extremely good at internal fighting and bullying people!"

“It’s just disgusting!”

"you……!?"

When Mu Qingqing heard Jiang Chen's words, her face instantly turned red!

Seeing Mu Qingqing like this, Jiang Chen frowned and asked, "Miss Qingqing, are you okay? I'm talking to the court, why are you so excited?"

Mu Qingqing gritted her teeth and managed to calm down: "I... I'm fine!"

"But you said that the people have no thoughts of their own. Hasn't this always been the case?"

"Can't you change it?"

Mu Qingqing felt that Jiang Chen was too arrogant at this time!

Just because you have some skills as a craftsman and have made some money, you become arrogant?

But when Jiang Chen heard Mu Qingqing's words, he smiled faintly and said, "I can!"
