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

Qin was about to argue, but Old Man Chen said, "Just do as the village chief says."

Chen Lang said, "Xiuzhi, go clean up."

Li Xiuzhi nodded and went back into the house to pack her luggage.

Soon, Li Xiuzhi came out of the house holding a big box.

Qin immediately yelled, "Put the box down for me! Is this something you can take with you?"

Li Xiuzhi said calmly, "Mother... Oh no, Auntie, this box is my dowry. I should be able to take it away."

Qin's face turned red, and she said angrily, "How would I know if you have anything else in your box? Open it and let me check."

Qin An said: "Sister, that's too much."

"It's none of your business, shut up." Qin scolded angrily.

You are my biological brother, why do you always act so disrespectful?

Li Xiuzhi opened the box and asked Qin to check it. Qin rummaged through it for a long time and found that apart from clothes, there was only a small jar and three sets of bowls and chopsticks, nothing else.

"These dishes and chopsticks are ours too, they must stay."

Qin An couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped forward, closed the box, picked it up and said, "Xiuzhi, let's go."

Qin was so angry that she jumped up and down, saying, "Qin An, are you still my brother? I have loved you so much all these years in vain."

Qin An ignored him and walked out on his own.

Li Xiuzhi signaled Guoguo to follow Qin An, and then she supported Chen Lang and followed him out.

Seeing this, Chen Laosi wanted to step forward to help, but as soon as he took a step, Qin hit him on the back of the head.

"I can't control Qin An, so how can I control you?"

"Listen up, everyone! From now on, if anyone dares to show any kindness to Chen Lang's family, or even help them privately, don't blame me for not recognizing you."

Chen Laosi shrank his neck and didn't dare to think about helping anymore.

Chen Xia smiled and comforted her, "Mom, don't be angry. In half a month at most, Chen Lang will be kneeling at our door like a dog, begging for your forgiveness."

Qin gnashed her teeth and said, "Even if he dies on his knees in front of me, I will never acknowledge him!"

"What a little bastard! If I hadn't been soft-hearted back then, he would have died in the ice and snow. Now that he's grown up and has become strong enough, he dares to act tough with me."

"I want to see how he supports this big family!"

……

After Chen Lang and his family walked out of the Chen family yard, the village chief also followed them out.

"Wait a minute," the village chief called out, "Chen Erlang, where are you going next?"

Chen Lang sighed: "I haven't made up my mind yet. Let's go to the deserted temple outside the village to spend the night and find a place to stay tomorrow."

The village chief asked, "Are you violating a taboo?"

Chen Lang blinked: "Village Chief, what do you mean?"

"At the west end of the village, Chen Jiu's house." The village chief said, "Their family was killed by bandits, and their house has been empty ever since."

"This house is the most stable of all the unoccupied houses in our village. The other empty houses are rotten and may collapse at any time."

Chen Lang said, "I'm not afraid of taboos. Besides, if Uncle Chen Jiu's family were still alive, they would go after the bandits if they wanted revenge, not me."

The village chief said, "Don't be afraid. Bring your wife and children and live there. You can live here as long as you want. Of course, it would be best to wait until you have recovered, then buy a piece of land and build a house of your own."

"I'll go to the county government office later to take care of your household registration and the payment of your student's allowance. You don't have to worry about it anymore and can focus on recuperating."

Chen Lang was very moved and immediately took out a few coins and stuffed them into the village chief's hand.

It costs a lot to register your household these days, because every clerk in the county government who handles household registration has to be properly arranged, otherwise it may not be completed in a year or two.

The village chief refused and said, "You are seriously injured and Xiuzhi is not in good health. We need money right now. I will advance the money for you. You can pay me back when you have money."

Chen Lang said, "Village Chief, I've made some money fishing over the past period of time. I can still afford this amount, so you can keep it."

After hearing what Chen Lang said, the village chief took the money and left.

Afterwards, Chen Lang and his family came to Chen Jiu’s old house.

Chen Jiu's family lived in the most remote corner of the village, about seven or eight hundred meters away from the nearest house. This led to the fact that when his family was killed, the villagers had no idea at all. It was not until the bodies started to stink that the villagers realized what was happening.

No one had lived there for three or four years, and weeds were growing inside and outside the house, with the tallest weeds almost half a person's height.

Qin An put down the box and looked around: "How can people live in this shabby place?"

Chen Lang said, "Just clean it up and make it habitable. It's just a temporary place to stay."

"Xiuzhi, go to your neighbor's house and borrow a sickle and an axe. Let's clean up the weeds in the yard first."

Li Xiuzhi left in a hurry.

After a while, Li Xiuzhi came back with a few young men following her.

The leader was still Chen Dabao, and among the young men behind him were his two brothers.

Seeing Chen Lang, Chen Dabao grinned, revealing his big white teeth: "The village chief asked us to come over to help."

Chen Lang was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He bowed and said, "Chen Lang and his whole family would like to thank you all for your help."

Chen Dabao waved his hand and said, "Brothers, get to work!"

These young men were full of energy and worked very efficiently. After each of them was assigned an area, they worked quickly and the weeds disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than half an hour, the yard and surroundings of the old house were cleaned up, and Li Xiuzhi, Qin An and Chen Lang cleaned up the kitchen and a room used for living.

Chen Dabao came up to Chen Lang, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Brother Chen Lang, we've almost finished packing. Let's go."

"Wait." Chen Lang said, took out a string of copper coins and stuffed it into Chen Dabao's hand, "Take it and share it with your brothers."

Chen Dabao hurriedly said, "How can this be done?"

Chen Lang said, "I can't let you all work in vain. In fact, I should treat you all to a meal, but you can see my situation. I don't have the conditions to cook at the moment, so I hope you can bear with me."

Chen Dabao said: "Brother Chen Lang, don't say that. It's not easy for you now."

"We've all heard about your story. Qin is such a piece of shit. Brother Chen Lang was bitten by a snake, and she actually broke off the relationship with you. This is not something a mother would do."

"If it were my mother, she would never give up on me even if she lost everything."

"Brother Chen Lang, don't be sad. I believe that with your ability, your life will definitely get better."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Dabao, I'll borrow your good words then."

Chen Dabao shook the string of copper coins in his hand and said cheerfully, "On behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank Brother Chen Lang for his kindness."

"Brothers, retreat!"
