Farming and reading family

After all, he was an ordinary scholar throughout his previous life, learning benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Even though he saw many injustices and experienced all kinds of helplessness, he was still a kind farmer in his bones.

Coupled with Gao E's magnanimity, he subconsciously felt inferior and wondered if he was too narrow-minded.

"Madam?" Chen Ke called softly.

"Hmm?" Gao E couldn't fall asleep either.

"You..." Chen Ke pondered for a moment, "Do you still hold a grudge against your brother?"

Gao E didn't know why Chen Ke suddenly asked this, so she recalled the relationship with the original owner's in-laws.

The Gao family was a landlord in Xixiahe, and there were only two children in the family, Gao E and Gao Chong.

The original owner was strong, and her younger brother had always listened to her since childhood. He was not ambitious and had no opinions of his own. Even the original owner's father said that it would be better if Gao E was a man.

When the original owner married Chen Kegang, Chen Kegang passed the imperial examination and everyone thought he had an immeasurable future. The original owner felt very proud to go home and would go back several times a year.

Later, Gao Chong married Wu. Wu was not an easy person to deal with and she and Gao E were at loggerheads with each other. Especially when Chen Ke failed twice in a row, Wu always made sarcastic remarks to Gao E.

This matter escalated after Gao's father passed away, even to the point of a fight.

Gao Chong was a soft-hearted person and listened to his wife's whispers every day, so he became more and more distant from the original owner.

The original owner couldn't stand such humiliation, so he hasn't been in contact for several years.

"It's not a grudge." Gao E thought about it and smiled, "It's just some youthful anger."

"If he encounters trouble, will you help him?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.

"If the disaster was caused by his own stupidity, it will be a warning to him. If it was an unexpected disaster and he was plotted against by someone, he is my brother after all, so I will help him if I can." Gao E said calmly.

The original owner wanted to never have anything to do with Gao Chong again, but when she thought about her younger brother, he was indeed a good brother before he got married.

As for the grudge between the original owner and Mrs. Wu, it was not entirely Mrs. Wu's fault. Mrs. Wu was a protective person and could not stand the original owner being so domineering.

But she didn't plan to go to Gao's house on her own initiative.

"Is that so?" Chen Ke murmured.

"Why do you ask this suddenly?" Gao E couldn't see Chen Ke's expression, so she pricked up her ears to listen to his tone.

"I had a bad dream." Chen Ke used the same excuse again.

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that... the Yutou Dam burst, the water was diverted, and the Hexian area was flooded." Chen Keyong's voice became softer as he spoke.

Gao E's mind buzzed and went blank in an instant.

She knew that what Chen Ke said was not a dream. She was here before she traveled through time, and the river course was indeed different from its current direction.

Did it happen this year?

its not right.

It is already late autumn, which is not the peak season for floods.

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Madam?" Chen Ke didn't hear Gao E speak and thought she was asleep.

"Ah?" Gao E finally reacted.

Chen Ke thought Gao E was just sleepy and confused: "That dream was too real."

"Maybe it's a sign of something." Gao E said cautiously.

If this is true, perhaps Chen Ke is really reborn.

It’s just that such a reborn person is a bit too low-key, and even his character is not good.

Chen Ke perked up when he heard his wife's approval. He turned sideways and looked towards Gao E's bed. "Do you really think so?"

"It's better to believe this kind of thing. My husband is a scholar, so he must have some ability in feng shui. Let's go back to Yutou Dam and take a look. In case there is a problem with Yutou Dam, it will serve as a warning." Gao E suggested.

Chen Ke thought about it and thought it was feasible: "Okay, then I'll find time to go there and take a look."

Gao E was silent for a long time. If this was true, then Chen Ke's willingness to move to a higher place was premeditated, but he never said it. Could it be that he didn't want to tell others?

So what did he experience in his previous life?

Gao E is not a saint.

Don't tell others to do good without their suffering.

But now that Chen Ke has taken the initiative to speak out, he must have his own ideas.

She didn't want Chen Ke to do anything cruel or evil, so she could only observe him and guide him.

Gao E fell asleep thinking about these things. Perhaps because of the conversation before going to bed, Gao E also dreamed of a raging flood.

Gao E felt unwell when she woke up early and felt better only after having breakfast.

Chen Duokui and his friends took some candy and went to catch crickets with their friends. The eldest brother came to install the bamboo door for them after breakfast, but there was no sign of Chen Jie and Lei.

Chen Ke wanted to help, but Chen Qing told him to take a rest, saying that he was of no use to him, which made Chen Ke feel useless.

After making sure the smoked fish is done, count the amount and put it all into a large jar.

Gao E meant that according to the ratio divided before, they could take it away now if they wanted, or they could leave it here and eat it while they were at it.

Both Yang and Lei planned to keep it here first, thinking that they would take it out when they visited relatives or when someone came, and they would be reluctant to do so at other times.

Before noon, Chen Jie and Lei arrived. They went into the mountains and dug traps but did not catch any wild boars. However, they did come back with a basket of chestnuts.

Chen Jie felt a pang of pain just thinking about it: "Second sister-in-law, what do you say if we can't catch a wild boar?"

"Except for the hunting in the village, how many wild boars can the village catch in a year?" Gao E saw Chen Jie's anxious look.

"I remember there were as many as six one year." Chen Jie got excited just thinking about it. At that time, their family would also share some meat.

"So why are you in such a hurry? It's only been one day. You have to let the wild beasts in the mountains know that the water in that pool is different."

Chen Jie was suspicious: "How did the wild animals in the mountains know?"

Gao E didn't explain either, and Chen Jie probably couldn't understand the fatal temptation of salt to animals.

At noon, Chen Duokui and his friends came back happily. All the fish they caught today were intact, and they even caught six that were about an inch long.

"Kui'er, why are you catching this? You won't be able to eat it anyway." Chen Jie saw them and said jokingly, "I'll catch some scorpions for you later. They'll be delicious when fried."

Chen Duokui answered politely: "My father said it's called crickets."

Chen Jie didn't understand this either: "If you like, Uncle San will give you more."

Gao E laughed when she heard Chen Jie say this: "Okay."

Chen Jie was also in a playful mood: "We have to wait until night to catch this, because it will come out at night."

After lunch, Chen Ke found an excuse to call his eldest brother and third brother to the cave.

Gao E tilted her head and took a look, thinking that Chen Ke wanted to discuss the purchase of grain with them. She called her eldest sister-in-law and her third brother's wife over as well.

Seeing that they were all at the entrance of the cave, Chen Ke had no choice but to let them in.

Originally, he thought this was a man's matter and didn't want to bring his eldest sister-in-law and third brother's wife to discuss it together.

"What is Second Brother going to do?" Chen Jie felt that something was happening, and it was a big thing, and he felt a little excited.

"I plan to buy more food and need your help." Chen Ke said directly.
