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

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Lang and Liu Dabishi met again at the city gate.

Chen Lang handed Liu Dabi two hot meat buns and said, "You probably haven't eaten yet, so I'll treat you to some buns."

Liu Dabishi didn't hesitate to take it and finished it in just a few bites.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted as they headed towards the village. On the way, they picked up a few villagers from other villages, and Liu Dabizi earned another ten copper coins.

Liu Dabizi was very satisfied with his harvest today.

When they arrived at Hezhong Village, Liu Dabizi was heading in a completely opposite direction to Chen Lang, and the two parted ways.

When he was almost at the gate of his own courtyard, Chen Lang found Qin and several other women sitting in the sun, sewing shoe soles and chatting.

Seeing this, Chen Lang suddenly had an idea. He counted out thirty coins from his purse, held them in his palm, and strode forward.

When Qin heard the footsteps, she subconsciously looked up, and then an unconcealable disgust appeared in her eyes.

The other women, after seeing Chen Lang, showed expressions similar to Qin's.

There is no way, the reputation of Chen Lang’s village is really too bad.

It would have been fine if he had just beaten his wife and children, but he also had the unrealistic idea of marrying into the Xu family's cloth shop in the county town.

He doesn't even take a piss to look at himself. With his behavior, how could the eldest daughter of the Xu family be interested in him?

Not to mention a mere student, even if he was a scholar, there would be no possibility for him to marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

If you want to marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family, you must at least be a juren!

How can a man who daydreams all day and has violent tendencies have a good reputation?

Chen Lang also knew that he had a bad reputation in the village, and that he had also implicated Xiuzhi and her daughter. So from this moment on, it didn't matter how he treated Qin at home, but in front of outsiders, he had to act like a filial son.

"You came back so early today. I guess your money has been drained by those scoundrels in the county again." Qin snorted. "I don't have any money. Don't ask me for it."

Chen Lang spread out his hand, and thirty copper coins filled his entire palm.

"Mom, I caught some big fish today. Here's the money from selling them. I'll give it all to you."

Then, without waiting for Qin to react, he put all the money into Qin's needle and thread box.

"If I can catch fish again in the future, I will give all the money I earn to Mom."

The women nearby were stunned.

Is this still the Chen Lang who daydreams all day long?

"Oh, congratulations, Qin, Erlang has truly returned to his roots."

"I really envy the Qin family. The third and fourth sons are already very sensible. Now even Erlang, who was so foolish before, knows how to take care of the family. I'm afraid your family will surpass the village chief's family in no time."

Qin twisted the copper coin with her hand and confirmed that it was not fake. She was so happy that she almost burst into tears, but her face remained expressionless.

"Thirty cents? I've spent hundreds of thirty cents on him over the years. If I hadn't worked so hard to earn money to support his education, would he have been able to pass the exam and become a student?"

Chen Lang pretended to be wronged and said, "Mom, I almost got bitten by a snake while trying to catch these fish."

"But don't worry, even if there are snakes in the grass by the river, I will go fishing every day and try to bring money home every day."

Hearing this, the women praised Chen Lang without hesitation, and blurted out all the compliments they had learned in their lives.

"Most of the snakes by the river are poisonous. That fool at the village entrance became a fool because he was bitten by a snake and didn't get rescued in time."

"Erlang, you have to be careful too. Making money is important, but life is more important."

"Ms. Qin, please try to persuade him. Don't let your son take such a big risk just for a few dollars."

Qin's face remained expressionless as she said, "Why are you afraid of snakes? How many people in our village haven't killed a snake? A grown man is afraid of snakes. Telling others about it would make people laugh."

"Besides, venomous snakes are treasures. If you're capable, catch two and sell them in the county town. Wouldn't that make more than you make from fishing?"

Several women couldn't stand it anymore and said that Qin was going too far. How could a mother force her son to catch a poisonous snake?

It would be fine if he was a professional snake catcher, but your son is a weak scholar who is lucky enough to catch a few fish. How is catching poisonous snakes any different from committing suicide?

However, when Chen Lang heard this, he was very happy because this was exactly the result he wanted.

Chen Lang lowered his head and began to act out his acting skills. His voice was a little choked up as he said, "Mom, I know."

"Next time, if I encounter a poisonous snake, my son will catch it and sell it for money, even if it costs him his life."

"Give all the money from the sale to mother."

After saying that, he walked home dejectedly.

Seeing this, Qin realized that she might have gone a little too far, after all, there were outsiders present.

At the same time, Qin had a feeling in her heart that could not be described in words.

Two or three days ago, Chen Lang did not have this attitude when facing himself. At that time, he even dared to fight back when facing the beating from his own father.

How come you become a different person after not seeing you for one night?

Could it be that the possessed spirit has changed?

Before Qin could figure it out, Chen Lang's voice was heard at the gate: "Fourth Brother, what are you doing?"

What followed was Chen Silang's trembling apology: "Fourth brother, I, I, I... I didn't mean it..."

Qin slapped her head.

broken!

I specifically kept Silang at home today just to let him vent his anger on Chen Lang.

But who would have thought that Chen Lang, who came back from outside today, was a completely different person. He not only admitted his mistake, but also gave himself money.

If the spirit that possessed Chen Lang in the first few days was "evil", then the spirit that possessed Chen Lang today is "good".

If he drives it away, doesn't that mean Chen Lang will become the lazy bastard who only cares about eating and waiting to die?

Qin grabbed the sewing box and ran to the door, glaring at Chen Silang fiercely: "You are so clumsy in everything you do. Look at what you have done to your second brother. He is covered in blood!"

"Erlang, go wash up quickly. As for Lao Si, let me teach him a lesson for you."

Chen Lang frowned. "Old Four, why are you splashing blood on me for no reason? What do you mean?"

Chen Silang looked at Qin with a guilty conscience.

Qin explained awkwardly, "It's almost the middle of the month, and the Yin energy is heavy. I'll throw some Black Dog on it to lower my blood pressure."

Chen Lang didn't think too deeply about it, because the ancient country people were very superstitious, so it was understandable that they would engage in some strange superstitious behaviors.

"Next time, be sure to splash it before you do." Chen Lang knocked Chen Silang on the forehead. "Luckily, these are old clothes. If they were new, I would have beaten you today."

After Chen Lang left, Qin tapped Chen Silang's forehead fiercely a few times and said, "How could I have given birth to such a stupid son like you?"

Chen Silang also felt wronged and said, "Mother, it was obviously you..."

"Shut up!" Qin glanced guiltily at Chen Lang, who had just entered the room. "Remember this, if your second brother asks about this again, make sure it's about exorcism. Don't bring it up with him at all. Understand?"

Chen Silang nodded: "Remember, mother."

"But mother, why are you throwing black blood on my second brother? Do you think he's been possessed by a demon?"

Qin said, "Even if he was possessed, he's still your second brother. Besides, even when black dog blood was poured on him, your second brother didn't react at all, which means he's completely normal."

"Let's just forget about this matter and never mention it again, understand?"

Chen Silang scratched his head.

Mother and second brother are both so weird.
