In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi and Su Peizhi were busy all day long, and only stopped when night fell. After dinner, Su Zhizhi asked Su Peizhi and Su Yu to rest, while she waited for Xie Chengjin to come back alone.

The wait lasted until midnight. Su Zhizhi had been tired all day and was now extremely exhausted. However, it was already late at night and there was still no sign of Xie Chengjin. Su Zhizhi's heart gradually began to lift.

She became more and more anxious as she waited, pacing back and forth in the room, always worried that Xie Chengjin might have had an accident on the road, or that he had been tricked by the vendor next to him, just like she had been before.

The more Su Zhizhi thought about it, the more terrified she felt. When she was about to go out to look for him, Xie Chengjin came back.

Su Zhizhi felt relieved a little, but when she saw Xie Chengjin looking a little embarrassed, her brows were still tightly furrowed.

When Xie Chengjin went out, he was wearing brand new and clean clothes, but when he came back, he was covered in mud, with a few tears on his clothes and even some mud on his face.

Su Zhizhi handed Xie Chengjin a towel and asked him to wipe the stuff off his face first. Then she asked worriedly, "But what happened in town? Why are you back so late?"

Xie Chengjin smiled at Su Zhizhi and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's going well. It's just like you were targeted before. Most of the vendors in town know each other, and now that I've suddenly appeared, they're naturally paying more attention to me."

"So when they saw that my products were selling well, they became jealous and tried to trip me up on the road, but they didn't dare to actually cause any deaths." Xie Chengjin explained lightly.

It was at this time that Su Zhizhi noticed that none of the needlework products that Xie Chengjin had taken out to sell were left.

"Are these things really so popular?" Su Zhizhi was a little surprised. She originally thought that the sales volume and demand for this thing might not be that high. Although Meng's needlework was very delicate, it was not to the extent that everyone liked it.

Xie Chengjin's next words cleared up Su Zhizhi's doubts.

"Women's needlework actually doesn't sell as much as those things, but today I had a chance encounter. Around noon, a young girl came. Judging from the maidservant who followed her, she must be the daughter of a wealthy family. Coincidentally, the young lady particularly liked these women's needlework items, so she spent money to buy them. However, because of this, she was targeted by those people nearby."

Xie Chengjin seemed to know nothing. He just thought that he had an opportunity and was very happy.

However, after Su Zhizhi heard this, a look of inquiry flashed in her eyes. Noticing that Xie Chengjin was in a good mood, she did not express her thoughts out loud.

Su Zhizhi looked Xie Chengjin up and down. Although, she had to admit that Xie Chengjin's physical conditions were still very good. He was eight feet tall and had a decent appearance. If he changed his clothes, at first glance, he would look not much different from a rich family's young master.

In fact, Su Zhizhi knew very well what happened today. The young lady from the wealthy family was not interested in needlework, but in Xie Chengjin, the needlework seller. She spent money to buy all the things just to leave a deep impression on Xie Chengjin.

In light of what happened today, Su Zhizhi had a plan in mind. Since Xie Chengjin was so popular with girls, she knew a male model in her previous life who could cheat Xie Chengjin by relying on his attractive looks.

"Let me go to the town with you tomorrow. If you go alone, it will be difficult to solve any problems you encounter." Su Zhizhi discussed with Xie Chengjin.

Xie Chengjin didn't think much of it, just thinking that Su Zhizhi was worried about him, so he agreed. However, Xie Chengjin still had some concerns in his heart, "But if you go to the town with me, what about my family..."

After being reminded by Xie Chengjin, Su Zhizhi began to consider the safety of her family. Mrs. Meng was a soft-hearted person, and if something happened, she might not be able to solve it. Su Yu was still a young girl, and if Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin went out, the safety of the family would fall on Su Peizhi's shoulders.

Su Zhizhi said to Xie Chengjin, "Let's try to get back as soon as possible tomorrow. I don't think anything serious will happen in one day. Besides, Su Peizhi is at home, so we can deal with it simply."

"That's good. I'll go wash up first. These things on my body are really uncomfortable." After saying that, Xie Chengjin went to take a shower and change clothes.

For a moment, Su Zhizhi was the only one left in the yard. She was still wondering whether Su Peizhi could handle those who came to cause trouble alone.

After thinking it over, Su Zhizhi was still worried, so she rummaged through the capsule for a while and found a dagger.

Although the dagger was small, it was sharp and could cut through iron like mud, making it perfect for Su Pei. However, the dagger could only be used close to the body. After thinking about it, Su Zhizhi found a small and exquisite crossbow. The crossbow had extremely strong lethality and ordinary people could not resist it at all.

After preparing everything, Su Zhizhi directly pulled Su Peizhi up from his sleep.

Su Zhizhi seemed to be still quite energetic, but poor Su Peizhi was exhausted after a long day and didn't expect to be interrupted while sleeping.

After Su Peizhi regained consciousness, Su Zhizhi dragged him into the yard.

Without waiting for Su Peizhi to ask, Su Zhizhi stuffed everything in her hand into him. Su Peizhi looked at Su Zhizhi, then at the things in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.

"Sister, what are you doing? Why are you giving this to me?" As he spoke, a hint of fear flashed in Su Peizhi's eyes.

Su Zhizhi patted Su Peizhi's shoulder and said in a heavy voice, "Peizhi, I'm going to town with Xie Chengjin tomorrow. Only Su Yu, mother, and you are left at home. You know the situation at our house. If anyone comes to cause trouble while Xie Chengjin and I are away, you'll need to protect mother and A-Yu's safety."

After hearing this, Su Peizhi's eyes became serious.

He nodded heavily, "I understand, sister. I will protect Yu and mother."

Su Zhizhi smiled with relief and began to teach Su Peizhi some simple fighting techniques and the use of weapons.

Su Peizhi's mind worked quickly and he got started quickly.

When Su Zhizhi's training of Su Peizhi began to show results, Su Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, sent him back to sleep, and soon fell asleep herself.

The next morning, Su Zhizhi forced herself to get up early. Although she was very sleepy, she felt much more awake after taking a basin of cold water.
