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

Chen Lang subconsciously turned around and saw a ruffian-looking guy running towards him.

This person's name is Xu Kun, one of Chen Erlang's drinking buddies.

During the time when Chen Erlang was madly infatuated with Xu Mengru, Xu Kun gave him a lot of bad advice, but the ultimate purpose of these bad ideas was to make some money in Chen Erlang's pocket.

Later, Xu Mengru couldn't stand Chen Erlang's harassment anymore, so she paid Zhao Hu, the biggest ruffian in the county, to teach Chen Erlang a lesson. Not only did Xu Kun not help Chen Erlang, he even brought Chen Erlang to Zhao Hu in person and watched him get beaten up by Zhao Hu and almost died on the spot.

Xu Kun came up to Chen Lang, looked him up and down, and said, "Brother Chen, I'm relieved to see that you're okay."

Chen Lang sneered: "Haha."

Xu Kun defended himself, "Brother Chen, I did act unkindly in that incident, but there's nothing I can do. Lord Tiger has given the order, and I dare not disobey."

"But it's not like I didn't do anything. After Master Tiger let you go, I took you to see a doctor and even paid twenty cents for your medical expenses."

"Now that Brother Chen is in good health, do you think the medical expenses are..."

Chen Lang said with a half-smile, "You're actually willing to take the initiative to pay for my medical expenses?"

Xu Kun deliberately put on a stern face and said in a feigned displeasure: "Look at what you said. When have you ever been stingy?"

Chen Lang said: "But I have no recollection of it at all."

Xu Kun said, "Brother Chen, are you still trying to shirk your debt with your brother?"

Chen Lang said calmly, "How could I, a scholar, possibly refuse to pay my debt?"

"But this matter has been based on your own words from beginning to end. There's not even a single piece of evidence. How can I believe you?"

"How about this, as long as you can find the doctor who examined me at the time and prove that you did pay for my medicine, I will return the money to you."

Xu Kun's face darkened and he gritted his teeth, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm cheating you out of money?"

Chen Lang nodded: "Yes, that's what I think."

Xu Kun didn't expect Chen Lang to be so straightforward. He stood there for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

When Xu Kun came to his senses, Chen Lang had already walked out of the city gate.

Xu Kun hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Chen Lang's arm, "Mr. Chen, do you really want to..."

"What are you serious about?" Chen Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.

Xu Kun looked very arrogant and noisy, but he was actually just a standard empty pillow. Shocked by Chen Lang's momentum, he immediately let go of the other's arm.

Chen Lang sneered and walked away.

Looking at Chen Lang's departing back, Xu Kun's eyes were full of viciousness and resentment.

This stupid scholar became a completely different person after being beaten. Not only did he become smarter, he even became more ruthless.

Xu Kun had only seen that look in Zhao Hu.

Damn it, this isn't over yet!

……

Chen Lang was so eager to go home that he wished he had wings so he could fly straight back home.

However, the long and rugged mountain road would not be shortened because of Chen Lang's mood. When Chen Lang rushed home, it was already completely dark.

Work at sunrise and rest at sunset, this was the rhythm of life for the ancients.

In the dark little village, one or two suppressed moans of women could be heard occasionally.

This was also the only entertainment activity for the ancient country people at night...

Although Chen Lang has become a father, he is still a virgin in essence. He cannot withstand the "attack" of such a voice, and he ran home quickly with his back bent.

The door of the house was closed, but it couldn't stop Chen Lang. He skillfully climbed over the wall, put the bamboo basket back into the woodshed, and tiptoed back to the door of his own cottage.

I pushed the door, but it didn't open.

Chen Lang found a piece of wooden stick, inserted it through the crack in the door, and gently lifted the bolt.

crunch...

The old wooden door made a teeth-grinding sound, and the two figures, one big and one small, on the bed immediately sat up.

Guoguo curled up in Li Xiuzhi's arms, looking at Chen Lang standing at the door with fear and anticipation.

The fear was because Chen Lang usually came back at this time with resentment, and the mother and daughter would be beaten if they did something that did not please him.

The anticipation was because Chen Lang had promised to bring back food when he went out today.

Even the thick darkness couldn't conceal the hope in Guoguo's eyes. Seeing this, Chen Lang immediately took out the oil-paper bag from his arms, raised it up, and said, "I'm back!"

Li Xiuzhi was a little stunned. In the past, she always took things out of the house, but this was the first time she saw Chen Lang bringing things into the house.

Could it be that he really changed his gender?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Even a dog will always eat shit, so how can Chen Lang turn over a new leaf!

The bag of things in his hand was most likely leftovers picked up from the泔水袋 of a restaurant in the county town.

It’s not that Li Xiuzhi deliberately thought of Chen Lang as so vicious, because Chen Erlang really did this kind of thing.

Letting his daughter eat slop...Only a weirdo like Chen Erlang in the world could do such a thing!

But her daughter Guoguo had no such thoughts. The little girl was so hungry that her eyes were dizzy. When she saw her father really brought back a bag of food, she immediately grabbed her mother's arm and shouted excitedly: "Mom, it's food, it's food!"

Chen Lang walked to the bedside, stuffed the oil-paper package into Li Xiuzhi's hand, and said, "This is a steamed bun. I've been holding it against my chest. It's still warm."

Li Xiuzhi stared at him blankly, unable to believe her ears.

This heartless guy actually brought back some steamed buns? Not swill!

Where did he get the money?

Could it be that he sold his daughter in advance? Is the county brothel coming to pick her up tomorrow?

In order to make your daughter look a little more rosy and have more money, you bought some pancakes for your daughter to eat?

Li Xiuzhi was in a state of panic. She dragged the oil-paper bag onto Chen Lang and angrily scolded him, "Mr. Chen, how dare you sell my daughter? Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."

Chen Lang was confused. Why did it bring up selling his daughter again?

She worked so hard to bring back the pancakes that both of her shoulders were covered in blood marks, but she didn't even get a thank you and was branded as a seller of her daughter.

This really made Chen Lang feel a little disappointed.

Chen Erlang left an extremely bad impression on Li Xiuzhi. She didn't believe that Chen Erlang would be so kind as to bring food back from the county town for her and her son. Even if he did, he must have had evil intentions.

Even deep down in Li Xiuzhi's heart, she must be hoping that he would never come back.

Thinking of this, Chen Lang cursed Chen Erlang a thousand times!

If it weren't for you, would I have to endure such contempt and slander?

Chen Lang picked up the oil-paper package, dusted it off, carefully opened it, and handed it to Li Xiuzhi again, saying seriously, "Xiuzhi, I was wrong before, but I've really changed."

"I earned these pancakes by catching crabs and river shrimps, not by selling my daughter."

Guoguo was so hungry that she had lost her mind. The hot pancake was right in front of her, so she could no longer resist and stuffed it into her mouth.

Li Xiuzhi gritted her teeth and asked, "You really didn't sell your daughter?"
