A piece of paper

Chapter 98
Xian Jin comes from modern times, and he doesn't have a strong sense of belief in the clan.

Even for those "relatives" who repeatedly mocked her nouveau riche father at the dinner table in her previous life for raising a consumptive girl who "can't even run", her father has always believed in the "three nos principle", "don't respond, don't let it go, don't bear it".

The three aunts and the six wives talked aggressively, and his father treated him in the same way as others. Not only was his mouth aggressive, but he also tirelessly guarded you and babbled, which made him anxious. He was so angry that he sat up in the middle of the night and sent a phone call to someone, "No, you talk nonsense about my daughter, are you sick?"

After doing it two or three times, the three aunts and six wives ran away when they saw their family with their mouths closed, and the strange relatives who dared to gossip were gone. Naturally, every New Year's Eve dinner was very comfortable.

Very comfortable.

However, this comfort was crushed by Chen Jianfang.

Xian Jin pursed his lips, his eyes fell on Chen Jianfang's slender and strong hands with well-defined knuckles pinching the bridge of his nose.

Young man, Xu Shi holds the pen for a long time.

Looking at the hand alone, the veins on the back of the hand are prominent, and the fingers are slender and straight, but at a glance, one has the impression of being vigorous and lonely.

Xian Jin's throat moved, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and shook his head viciously in his heart.

Focus!girl!
Today's clan...is not the same as the modern concept of relatives who flip the table without saying a word, and have no contact with strange relatives.

For the ancients, the clan is the root.

It is the confidence that the big tree extends outward and upward to the sky.

A person without a family is like duckweed on the water. When you blow it, you will drift with the current and never reach the shore.

Especially Chen Jianfang.

He, and even his father, the school he attended since he was a child, the amount of repairs he paid, the filial piety of his husband, even a pen, a piece of ink... were all paid by the Chen family.

Not Mrs. Qu, not his father, but the entire Chen family.

The entire Chen family acquiesced, and all resources, money, and power were tilted to the long house as much as possible, and as much as possible was sent to the long house during sacrifices, division of production, and division of interests.

Similarly, the eldest grandson who accepts support will lead the whole family to achieve a leap forward with the utmost effort.

Chen Fu's elder brother and the father of the star of hope have come true.

But it flew halfway and fell down.

To start flying again.

Chen Jianfang is the wings.

Wings cannot choose which feathers to discard.

Xian Jin swallowed all the words he wanted to say, shrank his shoulders dejectedly, and waved his hands indiscriminately.

This is his responsibility, he is willing to bear it, it is better than pushing it out without taking responsibility.

Xian Jinjin wanted to speak, but heard Chen Jianfang say, "The Zhang family is going to marry a wife with two thousand silver, and our family must have a dowry of one thousand silver. If others are sincere, we are also sincere. I will write to my grandmother to explain the situation..."

Xian Jin nodded.

If the star of hope is willing to come forward, at least Zuo Niang's dowry will not be embarrassing to the Zhang family.

Whether the Zhang family needs it or not is one thing.

Whether Zuo Niang has it is another matter.

Xian Jin laughed, with a look of generosity, "Mother Zuo is lucky, you, the second brother, will do your best to help."

Chen Jianfang was looking down at the gift box and gift list sent by Zhang's family, without thinking, he said casually, "When you get married, the third uncle will definitely empty his wallet."

Just a word, Fang Jue slipped just now.

Chen Jianfang pursed his lips, and "swiped" the gift list out of his voice.

Xian Jin didn't think there was anything wrong, and said with a smile, "The third master agreed that I would not get married easily."

Chen Jianfang said three times in his heart, talking about marriage with a little girl is overstepping, talking about marriage with a little girl is overstepping, talking about marriage with a little girl is overstepping...

However, hearing what Xian Jin said, Chen Jianfang was obviously taken aback, then put down the gift list in his hand, raised his head and frowned, "What did you say?"

Xian Jin thought he didn't hear clearly, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "I say! The third master agreed that I don't have to get married!"

Chen Jianfang was almost deaf.

Why is this girl so angry!

It sounded like he was going to go up the mountain to fight a tiger in the next moment.

Chen Jianfang silently rubbed his ears and shook his head.

It's not that I didn't hear clearly, it was that I didn't understand.

Xian Jin came to his senses, and said again, "Marriage... is optional. I have a job - to be the shopkeeper and accountant, and the Chen family will give me 20 taels a month, which is much more than the serious girls and young masters at home!"

This is.

For Chen Jianfang, there are only 12 or 15 months in a month, and the rice grain and cloth silk given by the government every month because of his fame and fame are only [-] taels of silver.

Xian Jin's monthly salary is indeed higher than his.

Chen Jianfang nodded thoughtfully.

Xian Jin continued, "Moreover, the Chen family also promises to rent me a small courtyard with two entrances to live alone, and also provide a maid, woman, ox cart and mule."

Chen Jianfang frowned subconsciously, "Little girl, how can you live alone? People come and go, even in a peaceful and prosperous world, you should be on guard."

Xian Jin nodded kindly, "Therefore, instead of moving out, I deducted two taels of silver from the monthly bill and handed it to Zhang Mama, which is my rent."

Chen Jianfang was dumbfounded.

This statement was the first time he had heard of it.

"How can this be so!" Chen Jianfang felt a little absurd, "It doesn't matter that you are the daughter recognized by the third master in black and white, just looking at you as an orphan, the Chen family just provided a shelter from the rain, how can they take money from you?"

Xian Jin stretched out a finger, and waved it solemnly in front of Chen Jian, "Don't talk about the daughter, I'm not an orphan. On this issue, for the Chen family, my identity is just a buddy—at most, this buddy has a greater role and pays more."

The original intention of beating workers will never change.

Once changed, it is easy to lose balance.

Once she loses balance, it means that she has completely integrated into this strange time and space - although she is still named He Xianjin, she is no longer her own He Xianjin, but the Chen family's He Xianjin.

That means that her personality is not as equal as she insists.

Chen Jianfang seemed to understand, frowned tightly, and said after a long time, "What have you said to do with your...your...marriage?"

It was like saying the word "marriage" with all of my strength.

Xian Jin laughed and said, "I have money, a house to live in, clothes to wear, and food to eat."

Thinking of Qiao Shanchang's sad face scolding her.

"There are even books to read."

Thinking of Qiao Hui, Zuo Niang, Zhang Wenbo, Suoer, Zhang Mama's rice cakes...

"There is also a group of speculative relatives and friends."

Xian Jin smiled, his cold and raised eyebrows were like the first rain after the rain, "Why should I marry? Why should I wash my hands and make soup, destroying the career I have worked so hard to build? Let myself fall into an abyss from which I cannot pull out?"

Chen Jianfang stared at Xian Jin deeply.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

Being stared at by Xian Jin, he lowered his head uncomfortably and moved his eyes away.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Jianfang smiled, and a sincere, clear, and light smile appeared on his normally serious face.

"Marry, you can also continue your..."

Chen Jianfang seemed to be looking for an accurate term, and said two words with a smile, "Career."

"The two are not in conflict."

"Xian Jin, tell me, is this possible?"

In front of Chen Jian, the storage box sent by Zhang's family was opened wide, inside were lotus root, tea cake, brown sugar, and daughter's red.

Four ceremonies to propose marriage.

The lotus root is a twig that grows at joints, and the branches regenerate.

The tea cake is round and full, with a long taste and lingering sweetness.

Wine is long and long, long and long.

What is brown sugar?
Xian Jin fell into deep thought, then raised his head again, and fell into Chen Jianfang's deep and serious eyes. The dark brown pupils were thick and stringy, like brown sugar melted at high temperature.

Xian Jin felt dizzy for a while.

Oh.

She remembered.

Brown sugar is very sweet.

From the heart, honey is as sweet as sugar.

　Tomorrow, the debt will be repaid.
