How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 12: Admire your wife with admiration
Chen Feiyan was a very quick-thinking person. Considering that her husband in front of her was so worried, she immediately spoke up.

"To deal with those aunts, six women, and people who come to our house to meddle in other people's business, we just ask them to borrow money and food. We are all crying and miserable, and I still don't believe it. Those people will do it for no reason. Come."

Grandpa Chen Yixuan is a scholar.When he was young, his grandfather often taught him that he must have integrity in life.

Even if everyone is eating dirt at home, they can't say they don't have enough to eat outside.

As a man, you still need to have face.

Chen Yixuan saw his daughter-in-law saying that she wanted to live in misery and cry poverty in front of her relatives and friends. Whenever he thought of that scene, he felt that he could not lose his face.

"Daughter-in-law, don't think like that, okay?"

"If you cry about being poor and miserable, others will look down on us even more..."

When Chen Feiyan heard this, she felt angry and funny.

"Stop lying to yourself, okay?"

"Our children are starving to death. They are all raised like sticks. Everyone in the village with a pair of eyes is watching!"

"Do you think the people in the village will think highly of us if we don't cry out about poverty or sell ourselves out? Just because our family is so poor, the poor are almost starving to death, and our children are like that, the people in the village don't Take us seriously!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Feiyan was out of breath.

Chen Yixuan listened and could not refute.

His eyes were heavy, and he glanced at Chen Feiyan, whose eyes were red with anger, and then looked at the children beside him who either couldn't speak or couldn't hear. After that, he suppressed the pain deep in his heart and said with a look on his face. asked Chen Feiyan solemnly.

"Daughter-in-law, tell me the truth. During the past few days while I was lying in bed, have you been wronged in the village?"

Chen Feiyan rolled her eyes after hearing this.The mood that had finally calmed down suddenly became agitated.

"Just understand it in your heart!"

"Let me tell you, as soon as you fell down, those old bachelors in the village who couldn't get a wife started staring at me with evil eyes!"

"Ten days ago, Xiaoyi carried me outside to look for wild vegetables. When he came back, several men scolded me. The scoldings were very unpleasant. I understood at that time that if you are no longer in our family, I You won't be able to stay at home for more than a few days before you'll be sold out by them, or you'll be taken advantage of by the gangsters in the village, just like the widow Zhang in the village, who becomes their wife behind their backs."

After saying this, Chen Feiyan covered her face and pretended to cry a few times.

Chen Yixuan heard it in his ears and felt pain in his heart.

He has lived in Chenjia Village for so many years, how could he not know the virtues of those people? !

In fact, they were not originally from here.

I remember that back in the capital, his great-great-grandfather was still an uncle with a title.

Later, due to official strife, his great-grandfather came here and became the county magistrate.After staying here for more than thirty years, when I returned to Beijing to report on my work, I unfortunately fell seriously ill again.

My great-grandfather had many wives and concubines, and many children.As soon as the great grandfather fell, everyone was divided.

Because my grandfather was a concubine and the son of a butcher's daughter in the town, he and eight other brothers received a small portion of his great-grandfather's property.

Grandpa told him before that when the family split up, he only had a small shop in the town, some scattered silver coins, and a donkey.

Later, when my grandfather's mother saw that her brother was seriously ill, she pawned the shop to use the money to treat her only brother.

The disease was cured and her brother was alive.It's just that in these years, their family has never had the money to pay back. His grandfather's mother later died of old age. His grandfather saw that his uncle's family was really pitiful and almost had to beg for food, so he gave up on the debt.

Because my grandfather was a child, he was invited by the people of Chenjia Village to be the ethnology teacher of the Chen family. As time passed, he took his wife and children to take root here.

Now that so many years have passed, Chen Yixuan has almost forgotten this period of history.

Now that he suddenly fell ill, his wife and children were worried about him, especially since his wife had suffered so many injustices behind his back. Chen Yixuan suddenly assured Chen Feiyan: "Daughter-in-law, I will definitely get better." Because of what he was thinking in his heart. More determined.Sure enough, early the next morning, after Chen Yixuan had breakfast, he didn't need anyone's help, he just got off the bed by himself and walked a few steps slowly.

As he walked, Chen Feiyan also held on to the wall and followed slowly.

Chen Yixuan was just sick, not confused or blind.In fact, he had noticed his wife a long time ago and quietly put his foot down.Moreover, he also noticed that she would boil a basin of hot water every night to scald and massage her own feet.

He is not stupid, he can see that his daughter-in-law, who has always been honest and not talkative, has really changed.

Perhaps stimulated by those in the village who bullied her behind his back, she began to show her strong and intelligent side.

"Baby's father..."

The first time he heard this new title, Chen Yixuan was slightly stunned.

But soon, he realized his wife's true intentions.

She called him that just to arouse his fighting spirit and tell him that he could not live without him in the family!Especially the children at home, they can't live without him!
Thinking of this, Chen Yixuan endured the discomfort and continued to take a few steps forward.

It wasn't until he was sweating from exhaustion that he slowly sat down.

After Chen Feiyan saw him sitting down, she immediately reached out and touched his back.I found layers of sweat on his back, soaking the linen clothes on his body.

She quickly asked him to take it off.

"You cannot wear these clothes that are soaked with sweat. Your illness has just improved, so be careful of catching a cold."

Chen Yixuan is actually not a macho man.He is not the kind of person who feels that he has lost face as a man because he listened to his wife.

He read a lot of books when he was a child and knew some principles of life, as well as the good and bad of closeness and distance.

Seeing Chen Feiyan's sincere concern for him, he followed her instructions and took off his clothes.

Then lie down in the warm quilt.

Chen Feiyan put the sweat-soaked clothes by the stove and dried them before she gave them to Chen Yixuan and asked him to put them on.

Perhaps to relieve the pressure in her heart, or perhaps to test his temper, Chen Feiyan began to take the initiative to talk to him.

"Master, I want to discuss something with you. Do you still have the energy to listen now?"

Chen Yixuan nodded. "Go ahead. I'm listening."

Chen Feiyan smiled and said: "Master, haven't you read some books?"

"During this period, I always thought, if you teach me to read and recognize some words in the future, then when I am free, I will teach my son and daughter. Do you think they will become smarter?"

"I have heard people say before that once a person becomes smart, even if they are deaf and mute, they can survive independently in this world."

Hearing this, Chen Yixuan suddenly thought of what his grandfather once said to him.

"Parents love their children for the most profound reasons."

My wife has indeed changed!They all know how to plan for them in the long term.

She had previously objected to binding her daughter's feet, but she might have had another idea in mind.

She may have thought that if several sons could not support a family, it would be the same for her unbound daughter to set up a female household, and then find a son-in-law and have several children from her old Chen family.

Thinking of this, Chen Yixuan became even more impressed with his wife.
