Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

--evening

"Are you going to the city tomorrow? Didn't Master Xie run away? Why are you going there?" Wu Yueying was a little puzzled.

Chen Zhao remained silent as usual, but Huang Yiyi was a little puzzled.

There have been a lot of rumors outside recently. It is said that many businessmen in the city have secretly left Houyun City.

This matter has more or less reached the common people like them, which means it is not entirely false. Only her husband, a fool, doesn't worry about anything every day.

Chen Xuyan nodded and said, "He didn't run away, he just went to seek refuge with someone else. I plan to change to another academy to continue my studies." The main thing is to find a way to make money.

Wu Yueying nodded. This was a good thing. He certainly couldn't stop learning just because the teacher who taught him was gone.

"I'll make you some pancakes tomorrow morning and bring them over. There's no need to rush to find a college. It's definitely not easy to find one right now. If you really can't, just stay at a classmate's house for two days." Riding the ox cart back and forth wasn't for nothing; it all cost money.

"I understand." Chen Xuyan forced himself to swallow the wild vegetables.

Chen Shun, who had been keeping his head down and not saying anything, finally spoke up, "Son, will Houyun City be okay?"

Chen Xuyan, who couldn't eat anything, drank a mouthful of wild vegetable soup and said, "Don't worry, Dad, it's okay. Everything is the same as before."

"General Zheng is in charge of our Houyun City. What is there to be afraid of?" Now that the poisonous insects in Zheng Huan's body have been removed, it naturally means that he will soon get rid of the traitors in the city and the refugees outside the city.

He has plenty of strength and means, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of his level of winning eight out of ten battles?

Chen Shun felt more at ease. "That's right. With General Zheng here, our Houyun City is definitely the safest place."

These groundless rumors out there are simply not to be believed.

Those merchants were always flattering the powerful, so they would definitely take their money and go to those who had soldiers and food. Unlike General Zheng, who was not greedy or greedy and even had to work the land with his soldiers, he would definitely not believe their flattery.

You can't try to curry favor with others.

Chen Quyue and Chen Qufei only understood half of what was said, but seeing that everyone at the table had serious expressions, they didn't dare to ask any questions.

Instead, Chen Luzhu looked thoughtful.

She actually felt that the current situation was a little bad, but since her uncle said it was okay, then it must be okay. With her uncle's intelligence, he would definitely protect them even in times of crisis.

Chen Zhao was not interested in these national affairs, but something happened in the village today that made him feel a little strange.

"I heard that Chen Hegui suddenly had a high fever, and when he woke up he said he was dead, dead, and everyone was dead."

"Early this morning, I dragged my whole family to the city to buy a lot of food, saying that we were preparing to escape the famine." After saying that, he took two more big mouthfuls.

Chen Xuyan suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"001, has Chen Hegui been reborn?" It seems that there are quite a lot of unexpected things in the team world.

"Yes, there are reborn people in this small world." 001 responded quickly.

"How many are there?" Chen Xuyan sighed inwardly, as expected.

As the difficulty of the task increases, so do the variables.

"The host needs to explore on his own." After 001 said this, all he left for Chen Xuyan was a hang-up tone.

Chen Xuyan resisted the urge to swear.

Wu Yueying sneered, "If anyone really listened to him, it would be all over. Look, he's already 26 years old, and he's still just a student. He's also a lazy guy at home."

"What's he supposed to be capable of? I don't think he'll ever make it big. I'm just saying this, if he does, I'll eat shit!"

She saw the depth of this clearly.

She had seen Chen Hegui hanging out with prostitutes before. If Wu Yueying had not been worried that this incident would affect the reputation of their village and his son's future, she would have spread the news long ago.

The custodian is known to everyone.

"Mom is right. Look at how thin his wife and daughter have become. Every household in our village has a good harvest, and no one is so thin. Their family has always been like this." Huang Yiyi was a little disdainful.

His wife only had a few good days in the first year after she got married, but after she gave birth to a daughter, her life went downhill.

Not only that, Chen Hegui and his mother had secretly sent away her two previous daughters.

Really worse than beasts.

How could there be such a family in Chenjia Village? If he hadn't been a student, the village would have driven him away long ago.

What everyone is afraid of now is that if he passes the imperial examination or becomes successful one day, they will turn a blind eye to it. However, everyone is saying what needs to be said, and no one is shying away from their family or considering their expressions.

"Their family is nothing. They were so happy when they married this girl Gui. After all, she has three brothers and can help her in many ways. But that old woman Chen was so humble to help her son marry her.

But ever since her son became a Tongsheng (a student) two years ago, things have changed. Passing by her door, you can hear her beating her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. I don't need to say how tragic it was." Wu Yueying's eyes were filled with disdain.

People like this really deserve to be struck by lightning.

Chen Shun also sighed, "Who says it's not true? I've seen it too. His eyes were all black and blue, and he was limping. That little girl wasn't much better, she was fighting with the dogs for food."

"This kind of person is actually an educated person? If he really succeeds in his studies, then we ordinary people will be doomed."

Huang Yiyi was somewhat glad that she did not marry into such a family. Her family background was not as good as theirs, but her parents had a good eye for choosing a partner and they took a liking to Chen Zhao at first sight.

In the beginning, I suffered a lot in order to support Chen Xuyan, but now my life has really gotten better and the resentment in my heart has long gone.

She hoped that when Chen Xuyan became successful in the future, she would not forget her husband and two sons and help them in some way.

"I heard that they are still persuading the village chief's family to flee the famine with him so that they can take care of each other along the way." Huang Yiyi's information network is also very well-informed. She has a good relationship with several old sisters-in-law in the village.

These people are willing to play with her, but they are a little afraid of her mother-in-law.

Wu Yueying snorted coldly, "She's quite good at making plans. In our village, only the village chief's family has the most able-bodied men. They have eight sons, a dozen grandchildren, and several capable daughters-in-law. No one dares to mess with them when the whole family walks on the street together."

The village chief and his wife are not that stupid.

Huang Yiyi nodded. "Who says not? I don't think anyone will pay attention to their rumors. Right now, it's better to stay in the village and do nothing. Why are you running around everywhere?"

The remaining three children listened to the story with great interest.

——Chen Hegui's family

"Son, what happened with what you said to the village chief? Did they agree to go with us?" Mrs. Chun looked at Chen Hegui with a flattering expression.

In her eyes, Chen Hegui is ranked first, even the old man in the family cannot surpass him, and she is the only one in the family.

Her son is good in every way except that he married a woman who is infertile, and all the children he has are money-losing products.

Not only that, but I also have to eat food from home all day long.

So they must be made to do more work, otherwise they will starve to death!

The gloom between Chen Hegui's brows did not dissipate. "How can it be so easy? It's easy for you to say."

Chun Pozi's droopy eyes were filled with resentment. "That's because they are unlucky. When the time comes, let them all starve to death in the village. When the bandits come in, they will have no choice but to die."

It’s a pity that she can’t see this scene, she is actually looking forward to it.

If she wasn't afraid that there would be no one to work after she left, she would actually want to throw away these two money-losing guys.

"Let's wait and see. I'll try again tomorrow. It's better to stay with their family to take care of them. If something happens, they can take over and we can run away first." The chaos he saw in his previous life was obviously only a small part of it.

Why didn't he live longer? There's no useful information at all.

Seeing that his expression was getting worse and worse, Mrs. Chun had no choice but to clean up the table, quietly leave the room, and close the door quietly.

She looked at the steamed bun in her hand with distress. Why didn't her son eat such a good thing? It seemed that she would have to make him another bowl of noodles later in the evening.

Song Guihua, who had been hungry all day, mustered up the courage to run over with her daughter, "Mom, Mom, can you give me something to eat?"

"I'm just so hungry."

Chun Pozi grabbed her hair without hesitation and slapped her twice. "Eat, eat, eat, what are you eating? You can't even give birth to a grandson, and you still have the nerve to ask me for something? Why don't you starve to death?"

The three-year-old girl next to Song Guihua saw her mother being beaten and rushed forward to bite Chun Po.

"Ah! You want to bite me to death?! You bitch, do you think I will beat you to death today?!" Mrs. Chun looked around for a handy object to hit them.

Song Guihua was so scared that she held her daughter in her arms.

Suddenly Chen Hegui opened the window and said, "What are you arguing about? Get away from me!"

Hearing this, Chun Pozi quickly put on a smile on her face, "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, we are just joking."

She had no choice but to put down the laundry beater in her hand and glared at Song Guihua threateningly.

Song Guihua hurriedly picked up her daughter and ran out without stopping.

Before Chun Pozi could pick up the steamed bun on the ground, the chicken in the yard crawled into the bun and ran out of the yard, followed by a dozen chickens behind it.

Chun Pozi slapped her thigh in pain, "What a sin! Such delicious steamed buns!!"

She comically chased after the chicken, trying to get the steamed bun back.

In a dilapidated house not far from Chen Hegui's house.

The little girl in Song Guihua's arms kept burying herself in her arms and refused to come out. Song Guihua thought that it was Chun Po's kick that hurt her.

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?!"

The little girl raised her head and looked at her with a smile, taking out a steamed bun from her clothes.

A whole big steamed bun, and a half steamed bun that was obviously only bitten two or three times before being thrown away out of boredom.

"Where are you from?" Song Guihua quickly hugged her and curled up in the corner again.

There are only two corners of the house left that can shelter people.

Xiao Ya drew a few times with her finger pen, and Song Guihua quickly understood what she meant.

"Okay, eat quickly." Song Guihua was very hungry, but she could still hold back.

Xiao Ya is different. She is small and will starve to death if she is hungry.

Xiao Ya bit her head and handed the big steamed bun to her, then started eating the remaining half of the bun.

Song Guihua wanted to exchange with her, but Xiaoya patted her stomach, indicating that she couldn't eat that much.

Seeing her determined face, Song Guihua started eating.

——Village Chief's House

"Dad, you won't really listen to his nonsense, will you?" The speaker was the village chief's eldest son, Chen Shaorong, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Chen Hegui's family knew very well about his background. If it weren't for the fact that he still had some achievements to his name, the villagers would have driven him out long ago.

It has ruined the reputation of their village and made it difficult for people in their village to get married. Isn't this also killing people?

According to him, this scourge should have been expelled long ago, but unfortunately he didn't have time to make any big mistakes, otherwise he should have been expelled from the family tree.

They are all from the same clan in Chenjia Village and they refuse to admit that this evil is their own.

The second oldest, Chen Shaokun, wasn't that worried. "Is there even a need to worry about this? Why not just go to Uncle Shun's house tonight and ask that kid Chen Xuyan? He's studying at Qingshan Academy, and the people he hangs out with are no ordinary people. If this really happened, wouldn't he have heard about it long ago?"

"But I didn't see them making any preparations at all."

He recalled, "This morning, his brother Chen Zhao and I were busy in the fields together. He was the same as usual, and I didn't notice anything."

The fourth child, Chen Shaoyou, was a little hesitant. He was also studying, although not at Qingshan Academy, which was still a good academy. "But when I came back just now, I heard from my classmates that their teacher Xie Chengshan had left Qingshan Academy. I don't know why."

After hearing this, the few people became worried again.

"Why worry so much? Why don't you just ask Chen Xuyan later? This guy is very smart, he must have a way." Chen Shaokun said affirmatively.

Chen Bingjie touched his bald head and nodded, "Second brother is right. Later, the second and fourth brothers, you two should go to their house and ask what's going on."

The daughters-in-law of the Chen family were doing some needlework before dark. They really had to do needlework during the busy farming season these days, otherwise they would not be able to wear clothes outside.

"What are they underestimating over there?"

"Yes, it has been like this since Chen Hegui came to our house and said a few words." I have to ask her later in the evening what happened to her husband.

The gray-haired old woman Chen raised her head and said, "Just do your own thing. That's a man's job. Why should you worry about it?"

"Who's going to clean the pigsty later? It hasn't been cleaned for two or three days, and it smells again."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I have to clean every day from now on, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep at night.
