Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 68
It's getting cold now, and the Chinese New Year is less than half a month away. The county seat has already been settled, and they will go there in a carriage after the new year.

Fortunately, they started to gather carbon and firewood in the summer, and now the villagers are not willing to go back. The potato house is warm, like summer, and a single coat is enough.

But the older ones really can't bear it, one is that the smell is bad, and the other is that it is wet and stuffy.

But now every household has a little money, so it is not a problem to burn a small carbon stove for the elderly in the family.

Each of these potatoes is the size of an egg, and they will be harvested in a week or so. Mrs. Wen said that they will plant another batch after the new year.

At that time, everyone will settle their wages during the Chinese New Year, and this year will be quite nourishing.

Since Wen Hao stopped them from calling them by their previous titles, they should all be called Mrs., and now they are the wives of rich people.

But it is different in other villages. Most people have no food in their homes, and they rely on dried wild vegetables in autumn to fill their stomachs. They wear warm clothes for women, so they have to go outside to find work in the cold winter.

The men spend most of their time on the bed doing embroidery work and so on, and they are too cold to get out of bed.

Women eat two meals of wild vegetables, men, old people and children eat one meal of wild vegetables, and some men and the elderly eat only one meal in two days.

When I'm hungry, I can only drink water, and I can't even bear to burn hot water. It's useless.

In some families, the elders wanted to leave the food to the younger ones, starved to death, and didn't know it for a few days under the covers.

It is really eye-catching that the whole village has been surrounded by the green brick and tile houses built in Wenjia Village in such a short period of time.

But if the high wall hadn't been built early, I'm afraid it would be difficult to keep these potatoes at this time.

In the teahouse, Wen Chun was in a trance. Ever since Chen Chun'er rejected her, she had lost all energy and was always in a daze.

Wen Hao could only sigh, there were some things he couldn't help.

Unfortunately, Chen Chun'er locked herself in the house for a long time without going out, and sent the embroidery she had saved to Zhongzi Embroidery Workshop to exchange for some personal money, and met Wen Chun on the way.

When the two saw each other, their eyes turned red, but they averted their eyes knowingly, and passed by without saying a word.

Chen Chun'er came to the embroidery workshop to show Jinmei the ten purses she embroidered.

This son's craftsmanship is very good, he is satisfied every time it is delivered.

"Young Master's hands are really skillful."

Chen Chun'er was a little distraught, but she still couldn't hold back her tears in front of Jinmei.

Jinmei came together in fright, and hurriedly pulled people into the embroidery workshop.

"My son, what's wrong with you? What are you crying for?".

Jinmei has talked a lot since sitting in the embroidery workshop, and she has also taken the initiative to meet people a lot.

At this moment, Chen Chun'er really wanted to tell others what was on his mind, but it was very uncomfortable for him to hide it in his heart.

"I don't know what to say or not to say about men and women."

Since Jinmei had suffered a lot herself, he really wanted to hear about this kind of thing. If she committed a fool again, he had to persuade her to come back, otherwise her life would be ruined.

It is a blessing that he has a good sister in his previous life. No one else has such a sister.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything, maybe I can help you."

Chen Chun'er knew that this was Mrs. Wen's elder brother, and since she fell in love with Mrs. Wen, she tried her best to find out about the Wen family.

He felt that Mrs. Wen's brother was a good man and a reliable man, so he let down his guard and burst into tears.

It took half an hour to stop, and the two of them explained the matter slowly in the back room.

Wen Jinmei didn't expect that he was the son that the Chen family originally wanted to give to Wen Hao, and this matter really had something to do with it.

Because Wen's family offended the narrow-minded Chen's family, it would be impossible for Wen Chun to propose marriage, and her mother really wanted to marry him to an old man in his 50s, which was already settled.

When Wen Jinmei heard this, she reflected on herself again. In the past, she really didn't know the blessing when she was in the blessing.

"Does Wen Chun know? Have you told her? The most important thing is does she know that you like her too."

Wen Chun's current state is as if he has lost his soul. Anyone can see it. He is strange, but he doesn't ask much about women's affairs.

Chen Chuner shook his head.

"She doesn't know, I know there is no result, so she doesn't know anything, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, please don't tell her, otherwise she will definitely feel uncomfortable."

Chen Chun'er remembered the things Wen Chun gave him again, wiped away her tears and begged Jinmei.

"I want to ask you something from the shopkeeper, please promise me."

Jinmei is now open minded.

"Tell me first, if I can do it, I will definitely agree."

"She gave me a very expensive set of jewelry. Last time I sent it back, she didn't want to take it back, saying that she is useless for a woman. I think so. I have also saved a lot of money over the years. I want you to help me put the money away. Hand it over to her. Since I can't be her husband, I don't have any reason to ask her for anything. If it's an ordinary item, it's fine... Anyway, you help me wait for me to marry and give her the money for me to buy it. She kept the money and bought things for her future husband."

As soon as Chen Chun'er said this, he either felt that this baby had something wrong with his head, that he didn't want the things others gave him, and had to pay his own money, or he admired this Chen Chun'er's integrity.

Jinmei is the latter, he looked at Chen Chuner a few times.

It's just that I didn't expect such a good man to marry such a person and ruin his life.

"Are you really not going to try?"

Chen Chun'er shook her head, helpless but determined in pain.

"There's nothing to try. If I'm an obedient mother, she won't embarrass me. I'll give me a considerable dowry to look good. But if I disobey her, it will not only be me, but also Wen Chunhe who will suffer." In the entire Wen family, my mother is not an aboveboard person."

He doesn't have deep feelings for her mother, and his father's death is probably related to his mother, but if mother raises one more eye to look at his father, his father will not die of illness, leaving him alone in the backyard of Chen's family.

He is not doing well. How can a child without a father live well? Anyone can bully him. If it is not for his beautiful face, mother thinks that he can be used. people are married.

There are several elder brothers who married servants because of their unsatisfactory looks. They can save food and stay at home to work. If they give birth to good-looking grandchildren in the future, she can use them for Chen's family.

The only thing that is valued in the family is the daughter, and even the son is not much better, but even so, the family has a father, and the lord's family is in a good family, so the son will not live too badly and will not be given away at will.

Jinmei agreed to this matter, and he found that he couldn't persuade him about it, he couldn't even say a word, so he could only comfort Mr. Chen.

One day, the officers and soldiers brought a letter, which made Wen's family very happy. It was even more joyful than getting married.

It's a letter from my elder sister.

A family letter is worth ten thousand gold, not only a miss but also a life, and a family letter means that a person is alive.

This is great news, but no one dared to open the letter when the whole family sat together. What if it is not a good thing?For example, Youcai lost his arms and legs on the battlefield, leaving only half his life.

In the end, Wen Hao opened it, because Fufu is a half-assed person and only she can read.

Everyone held their breath and carefully looked at the expression on Wen Hao's face, for fear of missing a tiny bit.

At first, the whole family felt chilled when they saw Wen Hao frowning, but later saw Wen Hao's face was calm and slowly smiling, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Wen Fugui spoke first.

"How? Could it be meritorious service?"

Wen Hao replied with a smile.

"It really is".

Mrs. Zhao was in a hurry.

"Well, please read the letter word by word quickly, it will make my heart tickle."

Wen Hao took the letter and read it.

"Father, second brother and third sister, I'm fine in the barracks, but I'm in a war. I can't tell who's who. I can only see the color of the armor. Anyway, I'm trying my best to swing the knife. I was injured. The enemy sneaked up in the middle of the night and didn't have time to put on the armor, and the enemy chopped off his back, and slashed his face with a knife, telling Jinmei that the eldest sister will be uglier than him in the future."

Wen Hao was ashamed whether he was comforting someone or stabbing someone with a knife.

However, Jinmei's expression did not change.

"Because I had a high fever this time and almost died. Fortunately, I remembered what Sanmei gave in time. It's amazing. After using the alcohol that Sanmei said, the rotten meat will be fine, and Sanmei's armor is also very good. I put it I handed these two things in to the general. The general praised me a lot and said that I would definitely come back to see my third sister if I had the chance. She asked me to be her confidant, and specially took care of teaching me martial arts and taught me to read, so I wrote this letter myself. When I am fighting now, I kill the enemy by the general's side. I am afraid at first, but I am not afraid later. I figured it out I have to kill more enemies, beat them back and save the big country, so that the people can have a good life, and you can live a good life. If you can't stand the life of the people of this country, you can't go on. In short, everything is safe for me Well, the general specifically allowed me to come back for a reunion, and I will definitely come back before the Spring Festival."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, there was no mention of Fufu in this letter, it seems that the eldest sister still could not accept it.

I don't know how I would feel if I came back to see her and Fufu together, and I would still be unhappy if I was relieved.

But when the time comes, the big sister can only accept it.

This matter must be notified to grandma as soon as possible, grandma must be very happy to know.

At this moment, Youcai was packing up his things and preparing to ride home, but he was not alone with a tail behind him.

It was a man with dark complexion, tall but very thin, with extra dark and lively eyes. He was not from their country but was captured from the enemy country. He was originally used as a military prostitute, but was later rewarded by the general to himself.

I didn't have any feelings at first, but I thought it would be good to have a man to pack things for me.

But slowly she fell in love with this man. He didn't talk too much and was not hypocritical, but the two had a tacit understanding.

She still remembered the man in Wen's Village. She didn't know how well she lived after marrying, but whether it was good or not had nothing to do with him.

But she wishes him well.

At my age, I should start a family, marry a husband, and have a few children. After all, she is a soldier now, and she might die someday.

Since she has chosen Aman as her husband, she plans to take him back. She can't get the letter of appointment, but she must bow down to her parents, and she also plans to keep him at home. Sooner or later, one's identity will be bullied.

"Aman, get on your horse and let's go."

Aman nodded and got on the horse swiftly, not looking like a man at all. Wen Youcai rode in front, and Aman followed not far behind.

In fact, he was also a little nervous. He knew who a military prostitute was, and he was a military prostitute from an enemy country.

To meet her parents... Will his parents recognize him?
Will he be very angry and skin him alive to make a human skin drum?

Wen Youcai was not worried in his heart. With his vicious appearance, he was able to marry a husband in the village because of his ancestral virtues, let alone bringing back such a strong, capable, and honest man.

Wen Rong's Chunlou is very lively now, but the guests who have grabbed several floors come, she is responsible for looking at beauties every day, making beauties, lying down and collecting money so that she is very happy.

Whenever this happens, she misses Wen Hao extra, and wants to show off and let her have fun, but she is afraid that her brother-in-law will kill herself.

She is much stronger than Wen Hao now, and her days are like gold.

However, Nian Qiaoqiao looked like a good lotus root, and it was full of silt holes. She didn't expect that he had entered the tiger's den again. What she didn't expect was that this person was still with Wen Hao and had a close relationship.

He won't let them go.

He already has a way to take revenge on Wen Hao, and now the county magistrate loves him so much, as long as he works a little harder, the magistrate will wish to die under his pomegranate skirt.

This year, Qiaoqiao Wen Rong was right. She is a good seedling worth cultivating. Although she looks average, her transformation is not bad.

Especially the kung fu in that room is quite talented.

I have picked up several important customers, and they are also famous brothers in this building.

He wants to get rid of Wen Hao and Nian Fufu first, and then slowly settle accounts with Wen Rong.

The county magistrate pinched Nian Qiaoqiao's nose.

"What's on my little baby's mind? You can't be distracted at a time like this."

Nian Qiaoqiao's face turned red and she was charming.

"Your Excellency is mighty, Qiaoqiao can't get used to it for a while, this is the first time I see such a mighty woman as Your Excellency, Qiaoqiao is surrendered by you."

The county magistrate said that his heart was full of enthusiasm, and the money was not in vain.

"I like your mouth. I don't know what my little baby wants, but I can satisfy you."

Nian Qiaoqiao almost said that she wanted the question mark family to die.

Good thing I stopped in time.

The time is not yet ripe.

"Qiaoqiao wants it, the magistrate comes to love Qiaoqiao every day, every day the magistrate doesn't come, he thinks about Qiaoqiao very much."

These words are crisp to the bone.

"Qiaoqiao doesn't want the things of the county magistrate, Qiaoqiao just loves the magistrate from the bottom of his heart, and thinks that the magistrate is mighty."

After finishing speaking, the woman in the room was mighty again.

The men here are not much stronger than the man at home who pushes himself every day.

Don't let her look for the young one to go back, she just doesn't want to look for it, let her come out here to play with the head office, if she has the ability, come here and catch her.

snort!
But every time I go back, I still have to find a place to take a bath to wash off the fragrance.

Otherwise, if she went back and got beaten up and down, she wasn't afraid of that shrew, she just didn't want to care about it.
