Travel to the famine year to go to the sea, and become rich with the zombie girlfriend

Shen Xiaoniu's face was solemn. He bit his lip and paused for a moment before continuing, "What makes me most angry is that she doesn't need my help..."

Everyone fell silent when they heard this.

Shen Xiaosi's family was also in a difficult situation. In addition to helping Uncle Shen's family, they also had to take care of the Zhao family. Add to that the need to raise three children, and it was quite difficult just to think about it.

We have also encountered natural disasters in recent years, and life is getting harder and harder.

Maybe Yinglan doesn't want to drag down the Shen family anymore.

"Forget it," Xia Qingqing didn't want to continue this heavy topic, so she turned around and said, "Go home and have a good rest. We have to go out to sea tomorrow."

After Shen Xiaoniu and the others left, Xia Qingqing and Mulan went to the incense and candle shop to buy some paper money and offerings and then returned to the village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw an old man in tattered clothes looking around, as if he was thinking about where to go.

The three loudmouths in the village, the leper woman, hanged herself, the English woman burned herself, and the matchmaker was sent to the town.

After these three people met with accidents one after another, the village entrance, where most people gathered, was deserted.

Otherwise, before you even reach the village entrance, the pointing and gossip would have spread throughout the village.

"Grandpa Scholar!"

Mulan's voice was so loud that it immediately stopped the scholar who was hesitating to move forward.

He turned around and the carriage approached.

"Mulan, I'm starving. Take me to eat."

Xia Qingqing lifted the curtain and walked down, looking at the old man in tattered clothes with some surprise.

How could there be a scholar who is in such a miserable state?

In her impression, even if he was just a scholar, he was still very respected.

"Master Scholar, please wait a moment," Mulan introduced quickly, "This is the host I told you about, Xia Qingqing."

"Boss, this is the scholar, Shen Yue."

"Mr. Shen." After listening to the introduction, Xia Qingqing bowed respectfully and saluted Shen Yue.

People who are polite and sweet-spoken are liked everywhere, especially the elderly.

Sure enough, Shen Yue's expression, which had been a little uncomfortable with hunger just now, now relaxed. He stroked his white beard and said, "Boss Xia, you really have an extraordinary temperament."

"That's really too much praise. Just call me Qingqing from now on."

After some greetings and mutual flattery, they finally got on the carriage and returned to the courtyard. Everyone was immediately attracted by the old man in tattered clothes and with white hair.

"Where did this beggar come from?"

"Are you here to escape famine?"

Everyone was speculating, especially Bai Erniang, who had already taken out the steamed bread from the kitchen, walked up to Shen Yue and handed it to him, with sympathy in her eyes.

Shen Yue didn't care about that. He took the steamed bread and ate it in three or two bites. Maybe he ate too fast and choked.

"Ahem...water..."

"Grandpa Scholar, are you okay?" Mulan rushed into the kitchen and shouted, "I'll get you some water."

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Seeing that Shen Yue finally breathed smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Erniang patted her chest and said with a sigh, "I was scared to death. You beggar, why don't you be careful when eating? Because I gave your brother steamed bread and killed you, I'm afraid I will feel guilty for the rest of my life..."

After Bai Erniang finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the beggar, who had been acting normally just now, suddenly frowned and yelled at her, "Who are you calling a beggar?"

Now it was Bai Erniang's turn to change her expression. She looked Shen Yue up and down again and then turned to look at Xia Qingqing.

"Let me introduce to you all. This is the scholar, Mr. Shen Yue, whom I invited to be my child's teacher."

As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.

They had never seen such a sloppy scholar.

However, since Xia Qingqing said so, everyone still greeted Shen Yue politely.

"Second Mother, go prepare some food for Grandpa Shen."

One steamed bun was definitely not enough for the old man to fill his stomach, so he asked his second mother to prepare food for him.

"Grandpa Shen, come and take a look at your room."

The west wing had two large rooms, each of which was divided into two smaller rooms. Xia Qingqing and Su Xi lived in the inner room of the north-facing room, while Mulan lived in the outer hall of the north-facing room.

The remaining large room facing south was left to Shen Yue.

Of course, this is only temporary. Once the north wing is completed, everyone will move out. This west wing can be used as a warehouse or guest room.

"When does the class start?"

Shen Yue seemed very anxious, and didn't even care when the monthly money would be paid. He was only eager to impart knowledge.

"Just wait a few days. The house will be finished in a few days, and the desks and chairs I need for class will also arrive in a few days."

"Ah? It's still a few days away?" Shen Yue seemed very regretful and complained, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come so early..."

As she spoke, Bai Erniang brought the food: two crabs, a plate of boiled shrimps, a plate of stir-fried pork, and a bowl of white rice, and placed them on the table in the house.

These things immediately attracted Shen Yue. He walked to the table and picked up the chopsticks skillfully, muttering, "Actually, it's better to come earlier so that we can prepare earlier..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of Shen Yue slurping his food. Mulan couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Shen, please eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you..."

As he was speaking, a lot of heads suddenly appeared in the windows outside, all staring at Shen Yue while he was eating, covering their mouths and giggling.

These people heard that Xia Qingqing's family had invited a teacher, so some idle women brought their children to watch the fun.

Xia Cong from Bai Er Niang's family tilted his head and asked, "Is this the Master? Why is he so dirty?"

"Cough cough cough."

Shen Yue in the room was eating happily when he heard the word "dirty" and almost choked on the rice in his mouth.

Is he really that dirty?

"Don't say that. Look, Master is so old. How can he have the energy to take a bath?" Little Huo Shuang'er pouted and scolded Xia Cong.

cough cough.

Shen Yue froze with his hand holding the dish. He turned around and glanced at Huo Shuang'er resentfully, thinking: You're not going to let me go.

Seeing Shen Yue's gaze, the children all dispersed.

After dinner, at Shen Yue's request, Mulan prepared hot water for him to take a bath. She also found a long gown that Huo An had made but was reluctant to wear and gave it to him.

Shen Yue looked much cleaner after changing his clothes. His white hair and beard, which were originally a little dusty, became even whiter after washing.

"Second sister-in-law, I called for Chief Xia."

Huo Xiaoniu's voice rang out, and Xia Qingqing hurried out to greet Xia Lichang.

"Qingqing, what do you want to talk to me about?" asked Xia Lichang.

"I have invited Master Shen from Shenjia Village. I would like to discuss with you the matter of opening a school in the village."

"Opening a school?!" Xia Lichang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
