Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Of course Chen Lang is tough, the one who is not tough is called Chen Erlang, and he has already died.

However, when he saw Xu Mengru, an idea of making money came to Chen Lang's mind.

But this method requires a certain amount of start-up capital, so it is too early to talk about it now.

Let’s take care of the present first.

Chen Lang went to a different cloth shop and bought three sets of ready-made clothes and three pairs of shoes.

More than a hundred coins are gone.

It is true: making money is like picking up soil with a needle, and spending money is like pushing sand with water.

But the money that should be spent must be spent, and cannot be saved.

After all these problems were solved, Chen Lang found a small restaurant, ordered two side dishes and a bowl of rice, and had a delicious meal.

Chen Lang also ordered a roast chicken and some big meat buns, and asked the shopkeeper to wrap them in lotus leaves and take them home to satisfy Li Xiuzhi and her mother's cravings.

Although there is minced meat in the pancake, it is definitely not as enjoyable as eating the meat directly.

Now dozens of coins are gone again.

But the same thing goes, the money that should be spent must be spent!

After eating and drinking, Chen Lang got up and walked out of the city.

When they arrived at the post station, they asked about the rental price of the carriage and persuaded Chen Lang to cancel the plan on the spot.

A carriage costs sixty cents!

Just go and rob it.

Let's see if we can get a ride.

Chen Lang walked along the official road while waiting, and soon he met a carriage returning to the village.

Chen Lang, the driver, also knew Liu Wen, the eldest son of Liu the Carpenter from Hezhong Village.

Because of his distinctive nose, the villagers nicknamed him Liu Big Nose.

Craftsmen such as carpenters and blacksmiths were very popular in this era. Carpenter Liu relied on his own skills to settle down in the county town a few years ago. However, his mother refused to live in the county town, saying that living in the city was uncomfortable and living in the countryside was comfortable.

Carpenter Liu had no choice but to arrange for one of his sons to go back to the countryside every now and then to bring things to his mother.

Today it happened to be Big Nose Liu's turn.

Liu Dabi didn't have a good impression of Chen Lang, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the ten cents that Chen Lang handed over.

Fares like this are the driver's private money and do not need to be handed over.

Although Carpenter Liu was very generous to his mother, he was rather stingy with his sons and did not give them much money on a daily basis. Ten cents was considered a good income for Liu Dabizi.

After Chen Lang got in the car, he found two women inside.

When the two women saw Chen Lang, their faces were full of disgust and they were finding fault with him.

Chen Lang didn't care. After getting in the car, he shrank into the corner and dozed off while holding a bamboo basket.

"Chen Erlang, you are holding a broken bamboo basket like a treasure. What shameful things are in it?" asked the slightly older woman.

Chen Lang didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and retorted, "None of your business!"

Another woman was anxious: "How can you talk like that?"

Chen Lang said, "That's what I say. You can listen to it or not."

These two women, the older one is surnamed Qi and the younger one is surnamed Wang, are the two daughters-in-law of the village chief.

Relying on the fact that their father-in-law is the village chief, these two people are arrogant and domineering in the village. They will go up to and say something to anyone they see. In addition, because of their unruly personalities, few people in the village dare to mess with them.

Chen Lang remembered that one time, Li Xiuzhi went to the river to wash clothes. Because she took up the space where Qi usually washed clothes, Qi chased her and scolded her all the way from the river to her home. The scolding was so ugly.

When her mother found out, not only did she not stand up for Li Xiuzhi, she also joined in scolding Qi.

After waiting for a long time for Chen Lang to come back, Li Xiuzhi thought that she finally had someone to back her up. However, Chen Erlang was in a bad mood that day. After Li Xiuzhi said a few words, she was beaten instead.

From then on, Li Xiuzhi would no longer tell Chen Erlang about any grievances she suffered outside, and she would endure it all by herself.

Considering these things, it would be strange if Chen Lang could have a good face towards these two women.

Not scolding them is the last bottom line for a scholar.

But these two obviously didn't intend to let Chen Lang go. It would take at least half an hour to get back to the village. It would be so boring if they didn't have some fun.

"Chen Erlang, have you gone to the county town to look for the eldest daughter of the Xu family again? Let me tell you, don't think that just because you passed the examination for a student, you are qualified to dream about the daughters of wealthy families. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see what kind of person you are." Qi said sarcastically.

Wang followed closely and said sarcastically, "Could it be that this bamboo basket contains the betrothal gifts you're going to give to the Xu family?"

Qi was overjoyed: "Oh, it's really possible."

"Come, let me see what you have prepared as a betrothal gift for the Xu family."

After saying that, he actually reached out to pull the bamboo basket.

Chen Lang's face darkened, and he said coldly, "If you touch me, I'll chop off your claws. Do you believe it?"

Qi obviously didn't believe it.

How could a scholar have the guts to chop off someone's wrists!

Besides, with Chen Lang's thin arms and legs, if they really fight, she and Wang Shi together may not lose.

More importantly, Chen Lang is a scholar. Can he really lower himself to fight with two women on the official road?

Obviously that's impossible.

Therefore, Qi was not afraid of Chen Lang's threat at all, and was still determined to turn over the bamboo basket in Chen Lang's arms.

Chen Lang slapped Qi on the back of her hand, and the latter screamed in pain, "Ouch!"

"You kid, I'm really going to hit you!" Qi cursed angrily.

Wang wanted to come forward to help Qi vent her anger, but Chen Lang glared at her and she shrank back immediately in fear.

How did this guy's eyes become so creepy?

It looks like a poisonous snake in the grass, which makes people feel cold to the bone.

Chen Lang adjusted his sitting position and said with a sneer, "Instead of you two being too busy meddling in other people's affairs, you might as well worry about yourselves and when you can give birth to a child for the Zhang family."

"I heard that Zhang Ermaizi has a baby outside and it's a boy. He's going to bring it home next spring."

Wang's expression suddenly changed. She pointed at Chen Lang's nose and said in a trembling voice, "You...you...you are talking nonsense."

Chen Lang said with a half-smile, "Am I talking nonsense? This matter has spread all over the village, and you are the only one pretending not to know."

"But what's the point of pretending? Zhang Ermazi hasn't plowed your field in a long time, right? If you don't plow the land, there will be no harvest, right?"

"I think that big fool in the village is strong and healthy. Why don't you go find him and ask him to loosen up your land. Maybe next autumn, you can have a boy."

Wang's face became extremely embarrassed, but she rarely refuted. Instead, she turned her back and ignored Chen Lang.

Chen Lang was very surprised to see her like this.

Oh my god, I guess I was right, right?

Wang is having an affair with the big fool?

I didn’t realize that you, a middle-aged woman, are quite good at having fun.

Qi cleared her throat and said, "Chen Erlang, as a scholar, aren't you ashamed to say such things?"

"As the sages say, 'Food and sex are human nature.' This is the way of heaven and human ethics. What is there to be ashamed of?"

"But you, even if Damazi Zhang worked his ass off to cultivate your land, you wouldn't be able to produce any harvest, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you don't even have any children. Aren't you afraid that Damazi Zhang will kick you out in two years?"
