Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 3: The Bad Man in the Period Literature (3)

Everyone in the village said that Chen Xuyan was a gigolo, but Zhang Ni never thought of him that way.

Although he was not an expert in medicine, he knew that Chen Xuyan's weakness was innate.

Besides, it’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, it’s that she doesn’t let him do it. Once he is sick, he has to lie down, and his weak and pale appearance makes her feel uncomfortable.

She was strong and capable, and she had been doing these kinds of work since she was a child, so she could do them with ease. As for those rumors, if she heard them, she would rush over and slap them in the face. If she was someone who could be easily bullied or tolerated, she would not be able to survive in Zhangjia Village.

It’s okay to talk about myself, but talking about my husband is simply unbearable.

Zhang Ni felt happy every day when she came home to see Chen Xuyan. He was soft-spoken and not as rough as the other men in the village, and her son was as worry-free as him. If she could continue to live like this, Zhang Ni would be content.

I have to go into town to buy some meat tomorrow. I finally managed to exchange some meat coupons for them, which will be a good way to supplement his income. Then we'll go for a walk in town together and see if the toll booth still has the books he wants, and buy them all.

My son has also recently fallen in love with comic books. He has learned a lot of words from his father and is almost better than me. Although I am a girl, my parents said that girls must not be illiterate. If they are illiterate, they will be sold and count the money with others.

"Dinner is ready." Zhang Ni hurriedly walked into the yard carrying the dishes. Although she earned a lot of money and had many work points, it was still a bit stressful to feed three mouths by herself.

Her husband has many brothers and sisters, and they stopped sending him things early on. Thinking of this, Zhang Ni felt that she could not let him stay in the countryside with her without even having enough to eat.

So whenever the villagers had a headache or a fever, she would go out and take a look, no matter when or where. Her father said that as long as one was diligent, no matter what one did, one would never starve to death.

"Let me do it." After dinner, Chen Xuyan put away the dishes neatly.

"Let me do it." Zhang Ni stretched out her hand.

Chen Xuyan ignored her and went to wash the dishes.

To be honest, Zhang Ni was fearless and just wanted to touch him. But Chen Xuyan gave her a look and Zhang Ni didn't dare to say anything and timidly withdrew her hand.

Chen Jianyan covered his mouth and laughed.

Zhang Ni rolled her eyes at her smirking son and said, "How dare you smirk at me, your mother? Do you still want to go into town tomorrow?"

Chen Jianyan looked at him in shock, then jumped up and down happily, "Mom, are we really going into the city tomorrow?"

"mom!"

"If you really go, didn't your dad promise you?" Zhang Ni said with a smile.

"That's great. Then I must think about what to buy. Mom, don't lie to me." Chen Jianyan grabbed her hand and shook it.

"When did I break my promise?"

That's happened so many times. Last time I said I would buy myself a comic book, but didn't I forget about it in the end?

Zhang Ni touched her nose angrily, as if she had failed to do it several times.

"I promise to do it this time, but don't blame me if mom doesn't have enough money." Zhang Ni tapped his nose.

Chen Jianyan nodded, "Okay."

Chen Jianyan is very content. No other children in the village have the same treatment as him. Even if his mother doesn't buy it for him, his father will definitely buy it for him.

Chen Xuyan has finally adapted to his current life and even feels very comfortable.

During this period, many people in the village changed their impression of him.

Although in the eyes of the villagers, Chen Xuyan is still the gigolo Chen Xuyan, but he is smart. It is said that he has received royalties several times, which is enough to make Ni'er work in a year.

Now everyone says that Zhang Ni has good vision and that she was able to find such a husband because she took the initiative.

Zhang Cuihua, who grew up with Zhang Ni, felt more and more uncomfortable the more she thought about it.

The two grew up together. She was the money-loser in the family, while Zhang Ni was the treasure of the family. She finally waited for her parents and grandfather to die. She was so happy for several days. Let's see what this dead girl will do in the future.

Unexpectedly, she took the money and gave up the house, but her relatives didn't end up in a good situation. She was originally waiting to see the joke.

In the end, I didn’t see it.

Then a clinic popped up in the village. It was said that Zhang Ni had learned her grandfather's skills and had some spare money to build a new house behind the clinic.

This had already made her so jealous that her teeth were broken. Seeing her with a pretty boy from the city who had obviously bad intentions, and seeing them getting closer and closer, Zhang Cuihua thought that she was definitely in trouble this time.

Although she seemed to be smiling every day, Zhang Cuihua felt that Zhang Ni was forcing herself to smile and was definitely faking it.

The younger one takes over his father's job. He does nothing all day long and never leaves the house. It's like raising two young masters.

Zhang Cuihua has already begun to imagine the hard days that Zhang Ni will face in the future.

No matter how capable she was, Zhang Cuihua didn't believe she could support three mouths on her own. She saw her becoming thinner and thinner, but the pretty boy who pretended to be serious with a book every day actually earned royalties.

In fact, Zhang Cuihua basically had everything done for her at home. Her mother was the one who made all the decisions. Even though her father always called her "pay money, pay money", Zhang Cuihua always turned a blind eye to her mother's doting.

If anyone in the Zhang family had a problem with her, her mother would just glare at them. While it was common for children in rural areas to not attend school in those days, her mother still let her finish junior high school. She later failed the high school entrance exam twice and ended up not going to school. So, for the past few years, she had been letting Zhang Cuihua have fun, with the exception of occasional housework.

When Zhang Cuihua was about to be born, her mother had a dream. She dreamed that a little baby in red clothes was reincarnated in her belly and called her. In addition, Zhang Cuihua was smart and cute when she was a child. Her mother felt that she was different from other children, so she liked her the most, and no one, big or small, could surpass her.

Chen Xuyan finally got the news of the college entrance examination, and the educated youth in the village all told each other. Although he did little work, he was generous to others when he stayed in the educated youth center, and he usually acted pretentiously, so most people did not dislike him.

Everyone was excited, and Chen Xuyan also smiled. Most of the people who went to the countryside had their own reasons, and it was rare to see the same energy from them.

Counting the days, he hadn't received any letters from the Chen family for more than half a year. It seemed that they had completely given up on him.

The original owner had actually made plans for himself. He was popular among his classmates and teachers at school. There was a girl from a wealthy family. Although she was a little fat, the original owner treated her equally and did not ridicule or be impatient with her like others did.

Although it was a bit annoying, the things given to the original owner were indeed very good, all good things. The original owner also gave back some gifts within his "capacity".

After hearing about the original owner's situation, this girl actually found him a job.

Her father was actually the director of a steel mill that was doing well. Since she was an only child, she pestered her father to give her a temporary job. When the original owner heard the news, it felt like a huge pie had fallen from the sky and landed on her head.

But the original owner soon calmed down. He knew that with the partiality of Chen's parents, he wouldn't be able to keep the job. He would definitely give it to his younger brother, Chen Yu. So he finally sold the job for a high price. This was the best deal for him. He didn't even have time to thank his classmate before leaving.

I just asked the teacher to convey his gratitude to him.

Until now, he has not used the money. He has kept it in his hand as his trump card. Zhang Ni is also unaware of the existence of this money.

The original owner later went to Beijing. It was with this money that she was able to dress herself up and have the opportunity to approach girls from well-off families.

This money is really a hot potato now. He has to think about when to take it out without destroying the original owner's personality. After all, in Zhang Ni's eyes, Chen Xuyan is not someone who can do such a thing.

"It really brings trouble." Chen Xuyan put his arms behind his head and couldn't help sighing.

"Dad, what trouble is it? I'm not a small trouble." Chen Jianyan put down the comic book that had been flipped through countless times and looked at his father seriously.

"No one said you were a little trouble. You are my son, how could you be a trouble?" Chen Xuyan touched his face.

"Well, you must tell me when I grow up. I'm sure I can solve any problem." Chen Jianyan still felt that his father thought he was a little trouble because his mother always said he was a little troublemaker.
