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

"Going to Linshui?"

After listening to Hong'er's retelling, Xu Mengru's brows furrowed.

Hong'er said, "Miss, I think this method is feasible."

"Think about it, we're all starting from scratch. Going to Linshui is obviously easier than going to Nanhe."

"My lady's family will definitely not sit idly by and watch her become powerful. They will definitely suppress her in various ways. If she goes to Linshui, at least she won't have to worry about this."

"Besides, Mr. Chen went to Linshui to do business, so he can be looked after when the time comes."

Xu Mengru asked, "What kind of business could he possibly be in? Selling tofu in Linshui?"

Hong Er said, "Mr. Chen said it was another business, and there was another business that he could cooperate with us."

Xu Mengru was stunned and asked, "Cooperate with us? What to do? Dye cloth? Make clothes?"

Hong'er shook her head. "Mr. Chen didn't mention this, but he said that as long as the young lady is willing to go to Linshui, he will ensure that the young lady's new cloth shop will quickly gain a foothold in Linshui."

Chen Lang's confident promise aroused Xu Mengru's interest. She asked Hong'er to prepare the horse and prepare to meet Chen Lang.

After Chen Lang returned to the tofu shop, he found that Li Xiuzhi and Li Xiaohu had red eyes, probably because they had cried a lot.

As for Guoguo and Lanlan, they fell asleep directly in the arms of Li Xiuzhi and Li Xiaohu.

This is the rhythm of crying yourself to sleep.

The only one who didn't fall asleep was Cuicui, but the little girl's eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

But after crying for a while, the sadness of parting was much reduced.

Seeing Chen Lang coming back, Li Xiuzhi handed Guoguo to Xiao Qimei and prepared to pack her bags.

Chen Lang said, "Xiuzhi, wait a moment, I want to tell you something."

Li Xiuzhi asked, "What?"

Chen Lang was a little embarrassed and said, "Let's go inside and talk alone."

After entering the house, Li Xiuzhi said, "Okay, there's no one else here, let's talk about it."

Chen Lang said: "It's...that...ahem...Xu Mengru and I..."

Li Xiuzhi's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Chen Lang hurriedly said, "Xiuzhi, don't misunderstand me, nothing happened between Xu Mengru and me."

Then he recounted as quickly as possible what had happened on the way to Qinzhou Prefecture.

"So Xu Mengru and I have put aside our past grudges and have gone from being enemies to being ordinary friends. Well, that's it." After Chen Lang finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiuzhi eagerly: "Xiuzhi, you must believe me."

Li Xiuzhi was actually very happy.

Chen Lang's eagerness to explain showed that he held an extraordinary position in his heart.

If it were any other man, it would be impossible to even talk about such a thing.

Moreover, during the time when Chen Lang went to Qinzhou Prefecture to take the exam, Zhao Chunhua and Madam Sheng would often mention a topic, that is, three wives and four concubines.

They all thought that Chen Lang would definitely marry other women in the future, because how could a talented and rich man only have one woman?

In this era, it is common for powerful and wealthy men to marry multiple wives. Zhao Chunhua and Madam Sheng don't think there is anything wrong with this.

Although it is romantic to be together for a lifetime, such situations are still too rare.

Mrs. Sheng mentioned this topic to Zhao Chunhua in order to teach Li Xiuzhi how to be a good mistress of the house and the principal wife in the future.

Zhao Chunhua has a simple idea about house fighting. Every time Chen Lang marries a girl, she will teach her a lesson and let these newcomers know who is the boss of the Chen family's backyard.

Mrs. Sheng’s principle is to convince people with reason. As long as Li Xiuzhi does her job well enough, Chen Lang’s backyard will not be in chaos.

However, no matter how clear the logic was, Li Xiuzhi still felt a little sad when she thought about sharing her husband with others in the future.

That's why Li Xiuzhi reacted so strongly when Chen Lang mentioned Xu Mengru just now.

Xu Mengru is beautiful, talented, and can make money. In the eyes of outsiders, she and Chen Lang are now a perfect match.

But she was just a country woman, and she had just started doing business and learning culture. She was no match for Xu Mengru.

Once Chen Lang marries Xu Mengru, can he really hold the position of the principal wife?

However, after listening to Chen Lang's explanation, Li Xiuzhi's worries almost disappeared.

I still occupy the most important position in my husband's heart.

"Xiuzhi?" Chen Lang saw that Li Xiuzhi hadn't spoken for a long time and thought she was sulking. After calling her twice without any response, he went up to her and hugged her in his arms, saying, "Don't let your imagination run wild. You're the only man in your life."

These words were like a bowl of honey that touched Li Xiuzhi's heart directly, almost making her cry.

"Erlang, I'm not a jealous woman. If you want to marry again in the future, I will also..."

Chen Lang pushed Li Xiuzhi slightly away from him, stared into her eyes and said, "Could it be that I haven't been diligent enough in the past two days for you to have such messed up thoughts?"

Li Xiuzhi's face turned red instantly.

"Saying something like that in broad daylight..."

Chen Lang snorted, "If you continue to hold such thoughts, then your husband will have no choice but to take you to bed and punish you severely."

Li Xiuzhi was really afraid that Chen Lang would make a lewd move in broad daylight, so she surrendered quickly.

Chen Lang said, "Then I will continue with the previous topic."

"Didn't I tell you that after arriving in Linshui, we should do something other than the liquor business?"

"This other thing refers to the cloth business."

"It's a coincidence that Xu Mengru went to Qinzhou Prefecture and separated from her family. The Xu family's cloth shop was taken over by her family, and now she has become a homeless vagrant."

"Xu Mengru has been in the cloth business for many years and is very experienced, and her skills are no less impressive. So, I suddenly had an idea and invited her to come to Linshui with me and hand over the cloth business to her."

Li Xiuzhi said, "As for business matters, you make the decision."

"But would Miss Xu be willing to go to Linshui and start over?"

Chen Lang said, "If she stayed in Nanhe County, she would have to start from scratch, and she would have to be wary of pressure from her family. If she went to Linshui, she wouldn't have to worry about that."

Li Xiuzhi thought for a moment and said, "That's true. But Erlang, you also understand the cloth business, right? Don't let Miss Xu follow us to Linshui and find out you know nothing about it. That would have a very bad impact."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "I really don't understand dyeing and weaving. I just know some general principles."

"But my husband knows about clothing design."

"Where's the box where I kept the blueprints?"

Li Xiuzhi said, "It's under the bed."

Chen Lang hurried to the bedside, dragged out the box, swept the dust off it, opened the box, and said, "Xiuzhi, these two sets of clothes designed for your husband will definitely shock everyone once they are made."

"To be conservative, at least 30% of Dayan women will be crazy about these two sets of clothes."
