This scene moved Chu Chen deeply.

As the mule cart slowly came to a stop, Chu Chen jumped off.

He gave Li Qinglian a bear hug, not paying any attention to his second uncle standing to the side.

"Second Uncle is still here." Li Qinglian pushed Chu Chen away forcefully.

Chu Chen touched his nose and awkwardly said to his second uncle, "Second Uncle, could you help me unload these things?"

"Okay!" Second Uncle replied loudly, seemingly trying to shake off the awkwardness from before.

Chu Chen sighed that the world was still too conservative. He wondered what the streets would look like if he promoted bikinis.

Chu Chen looked at Li Qinglian with a wicked smile: "Hmm, let's fatten her up first. She can probably go up another size."

Chu Dazhuang carried things into the house: rice, cloth, and clothes.

The move was stopped by Chu Chen halfway through.

"Second Uncle, I'll take care of the rest." Chu Dazhuang looked at Chu Chen's actions with a puzzled expression.

Then Chu Chen picked out about 50 jin of rice, cut a leg of lamb, and took a piece of cloth.

"Second Uncle, take these back and have Second Aunt make you some clothes." After saying that, she stuffed a ten-tael silver ingot into his hand.

Chu Dazhuang stared wide-eyed at the pile of things in front of him. His nephew was so generous.

He quickly said, "Nephew, this is unacceptable. I cannot accept a reward without having done anything right."

"Second Uncle, it's worth it just for you standing in front of me today. Stop being dramatic and go home. Second Aunt and Brother Hu must be getting impatient. By the way, ask Brother Hu to come here tomorrow."

Before Chu Dazhuang could even process what "being pretentious" meant, Chu Chen rushed him home, carrying all those things with him.

At this moment, Li Qinglian stared blankly at what was in front of her, speechless for a moment.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and cook! I'm starving! Make a lot!" Chu Chen ordered.

Li Qinglian didn't ask where the food came from. Hearing that Chu Chen was hungry, she turned around and went into the kitchen.

Taking advantage of the break, Chu Chen climbed into the carriage and carried out several down comforters and some daily necessities from the mall.

Only then did he leisurely walk into the house.

Seeing that there was significantly more meat on the table than yesterday, Chu Chen smiled with satisfaction.

"Good, you're making rapid progress. You're too thin and weak, so you need to eat more."

Li Qinglian said to Chu Chen, "Husband, all these things must cost a lot of money, and there's also that mule cart."

In fact, Li Qinglian was still worried. This man who had suddenly become rich seemed unreal.

"I'm telling you, don't worry about it. Just understand that your husband has been enlightened by the immortals and will have many more strange and wonderful things to come. Don't ask any questions, just enjoy the good life with your husband."

Chu Chen's words interrupted Li Qinglian's relentless pursuit of the truth.

As night fell and the temperature plummeted, Chu Chen instructed Li Qinglian to take the two down comforters from the mule cart.

Li Qinglian was stunned when she saw such a soft quilt for the first time.

Fortunately, she was just a country girl who had never even been to the county town, so she regarded this new-era product as a high-end item from the city.

This saved Chu Chen a lot of trouble explaining things.

"Come on, you get into bed first, I'm going to the outhouse."

Chu Chen gave the instructions. Actually, he was worried about the pile of silver. Of the six hundred taels of silver, after deducting today's expenses, there were still more than five hundred taels left.

Once on the mule cart, Chu Chen was going to conduct an experiment: whether things from this world could enter the shopping mall space.

Chu Chen took out one hundred taels from the bag, leaving the rest inside.

Clutching the bag, with a thought, I appeared in the supermarket space.

Then, the bag in his hand came in, and Chu Chen jumped up and down with excitement.

With this thing, I won't need to carry anything with me anywhere anymore. This thing is such a pleasant surprise.

He then left the space, grabbed the ten ten-tael silver ingots, and walked into the house.

Li Qinglian was sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the two down comforters in front of her.

Suddenly, a series of banging sounds woke her up.

Ten silver ingots fell onto the bed, and Chu Chen was looking at her with a grin.

"Hey young lady, I'll give you a hundred taels of silver. How about you spend the night with me?"

"Ah..." Hearing Chu Chen's frivolous words, Li Qinglian's face flushed red instantly.

Uh, so easily amused, no fun at all.

At this moment, Li Qinglian's eyes moved from Chu Chen to the silver ingots scattered on the bed.

"Husband, where did you get so much money?" Li Qinglian asked.

"Um, I went to the city today to treat a rich man's illness, and this is the fee he paid me."

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, he saw tears welling up in Li Qinglian's eyes on the bed again.

While crying, she said, "Husband, please put it away quickly, otherwise if people find out, it will attract bad people."

Sigh, this person is good in every way, except for their tendency to cry.

Chu Chen had no idea how much wealth one hundred taels of silver was in the eyes of this poor peasant woman.

Since the family's land and property were squandered, she has been doing odd jobs every day to support the family. It has been so difficult for her.

When this spendthrift husband suddenly put so much money in front of her, it's a miracle she didn't go crazy.

"Go ahead and collect it. This is for you. Keep some money on you just in case," Chu Chen continued.

“Ah, so much money for me, I can’t accept it. My husband should keep it with him.” Li Qinglian shook her head.

Chu Chen grabbed Li Qinglian's thin shoulders and looked into her eyes.

He said earnestly, "Wife, our family is rich now, and it's not like it used to be. You need to adapt to your new role as soon as possible, okay?"

Seeing how serious Chu Chen was, Li Qinglian stopped crying.

Although she didn't understand some of the words Chu Chen said, she still nodded seriously.

Chu Chen wiped away Li Qinglian's tears with his hand and looked at her gently as he spoke.

"I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, I will see a confident and beautiful Li Qinglian standing in front of me."

"Okay, husband, I'll do whatever you say."

Li Qinglian watched as Chu Chen wiped away her tears, and saw a tenderness in the man before her that she had never seen before.

At this moment, a feeling of happiness welled up within me...

Chu Chen pointed to the pile of clothes and fabrics in the corner and spoke to Li Qinglian again.

"Those clothes were all bought for you. I don't know if they'll fit. Go try them on, and if they don't fit, give them to your second aunt."

"And those bolts of cloth, I'd appreciate it if you could make me a few outfits."

Li Qinglian hadn't noticed earlier and assumed it was fabric that Chu Chen had bought. She was even thinking of making some clothes for Chu Chen tomorrow.

I didn't expect to buy myself clothes, and not just one item.

She was about to cry again, but Chu Chen stopped her with a look.

"It's not something that can be done overnight to transform her from someone who can't even afford to eat into someone who is rich," Chu Chen thought to himself.

At that moment, Li Qinglian was holding a pile of clothes, staring blankly at herself.
