Although he still looked sallow and thin, Chen Mu's eyes were no longer the same as before. They were like two extremely sharp knives. Shopkeeper Liu was shocked and backed away.
Looking at the thin figure in front of me again, he is completely different from the poor scholar from before.
Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment. He was always a bully, but after being intimidated like this, the couple on the opposite side immediately did not dare to make any more mistakes.
Ancient times were different from modern times. As long as they were not beaten to a cripple, the government didn't care.
"You kid, just wait!"
After saying these words, he quickly slipped out.
When Chen Mu saw the person finally leaving, he let out a long breath. He thought that he had never seen anything in these years of wandering on the road, and it was no problem to deal with such an old rural farmer.
Then he turned around and looked at Liu Si, still standing behind him. She was very thin. Although she was dressed as a peasant woman, her bones and outlines were not bad, and she exuded a gentle aura.
If she hadn't been tortured by the daily farm work, she would have been a beautiful woman.
Although she was a widow, Liu Sinai was a scholar's daughter before and could read.
However, when I got married to another family five years ago, my new husband died suddenly and violently just after the wedding ceremony. That night, the host family regarded her as my nemesis and kicked her out of the house. It was really tragic.
Now it is the memory of the past life that dominates this body. I have stayed in a place where bride prices are often hundreds of thousands for a long time. Looking at the woman in front of me, I can only say that she is too perfect.
Now she wiped the water from her sleeves and wiped his face carefully again, but when it touched the skin, she could clearly feel Liu Si suddenly trembling.
"Daughter-in-law, does your face still hurt?"
Liu Si did not reply, but the next moment, two green tears suddenly flowed down.
"How come you...are willing to acknowledge me?"
When Chen Mu heard this, he felt stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart.
In the ancient concept, women who have been divorced are dirty, and men who marry them will be laughed at.
Even if someone like Liu Si has never had physical contact with anyone, she is still synonymous with second-hand goods and unruly women.
Therefore, after five years of marriage, the original owner only had the talented and talented woman in the city in his heart.
Even if Liu Si showed his sincerity and acted like a cow or a horse, in the heart of the original owner, it was still just an object that would be discarded if he got his way.
Seeing Liu Si's teary eyes, Chen Mu slowly hugged him into his arms, as if coaxing a child, and patted his back gently: "Stop crying, today is the same as in the future."
Liu Si was very happy that day. Although she burst into tears, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief in her heart. For her, satisfaction was very simple.
She came to the kitchen and started cooking, crying and laughing, but not long after, she found Chen Mu sweeping the floor in the courtyard with a broom.
Liu Si couldn't help but murmured: "Is this still the man from my family?"
First, he took it out on himself and slapped Shopkeeper Liu, and now he started doing housework again.
Could it be...possessed?
Thinking of this, Liu Si pursed her lips and smiled. If it had always been like this, it would be good to be possessed by the evil spirit.
In the summer, it gets dark early, and the place I live in is my parents' old house, a stone stove house and a yellow mud bedroom. It is very dilapidated and poor.
The Long Xia Dynasty was not corrupt, but the original owner could only blame his laziness for pursuing his dream of becoming a successful person one day, which resulted in his being in such poverty.
But Chen Mu would never accept his fate like this.
Even in the flashy society of his previous life, he could counterattack from the bottom to the top of society by relying on his talent, wisdom, and ruthlessness, let alone this world?
It is not difficult for him to make money, but in this world, money is not the only criterion for measuring a person.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the word scholar is at the front and business is at the end. Studying is the only way out. I am afraid that I will still have to take the imperial examination in the future.
"The meal is ready, here come Chen, chopsticks."
Just when Chen Mu was thinking about it, Liu Si had already arrived at the courtyard table with three bowls.
When he saw the thick wheat bran in the bowl and the boiled vegetables in the water, Chen Mu suddenly felt that making more money was the right thing to do now.
I was able to thrive in society in my previous life, but now I can't live a bad life, right?
"Other people have meat to eat every day at home, but here I eat what other animals eat. My wife, do you never blame me?"
In Chen Mu's eyes, either let the woman live a life without worries about food and clothing, or don't bring others to suffer hardships with her. Even if it is not for the rest of her life, she still feels in her heart that she owes this ancient woman.
When asked inexplicably, Liu Si stared at himself for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "Although my family is a little poorer, at least it is a family. Anyway, I think it is quite satisfying to have dinner with Ah Chen now.
of."
What Liu Si said was natural, but when Chen Mu heard it, he couldn't help but be startled. There were countless women he had seen in his previous life, but none of them could live in poverty.
Maybe she was worthless to the original owner, but at this time, in Chen Mu's heart, he gradually developed a good impression of this simple woman.
"But...Daughter-in-law, can you please stop calling me A-Chen from now on? It sounds really awkward."
The reason why he is called this is because Liu Si is three years older than the original owner. In Liu Si's eyes, he may regard himself as a younger brother.
But we know that Chen Mu was already a greasy man in his forties in his previous life, so he couldn't bear to be called like this by a girl in her late teens and early twenties.
"Isn't it always called like this?" Liu Si raised her head, blinked and asked.
"Ahem, just call me Chen Mu from now on."
After eating, it gets dark. In ancient times, there was no nightlife. Lighting candles was too extravagant. Basically, people went to bed as soon as it got dark.
In the past, it was impossible for the original owner to sleep in bed with Liu Si. Even if his life was not as good as that of a dog, this person regarded himself as noble and believed that a widow other than a talented lady on the left side of his bed was not worthy of sleeping.
Having read countless people in her previous life, Chen Mu had a fair guess as to whether this talented lady was as perfect as the original owner thought.
The bed was very small. That night, Chen Mu fell asleep with Liu Si in his arms, but didn't do anything.
Early morning of the second day.
Chen Muben, who was still full of ambition yesterday, thought that it would be easy to make money based on his memory of two lifetimes.
But after thinking about it all night, I couldn't think of a good way, at least I didn't think of a way to make a pot of gold immediately.
Doing what you did in your previous life? Haha, selling guns overseas in your previous life is obviously unrealistic in this place.
Whether you are doing business or anything else, the most important thing is not the method, but the primitive accumulation. The first money is the most difficult to make.
But he was beaten to death for fifty cents, which was not even enough to repay the debt.
What can be done now?
Thinking of this, Chen Mu let out a long sigh and thought that he had to go back to the ranks of workers first.
It’s the 258th Festival in Yelang County. Today happens to be June 28th. Liu Siben is going to bring some fruits and vegetables to the city to sell. If it doesn’t work, he will go for a walk in the city first to see if he can find something to do.
