Chapter 30 A Bear

Chen Yixing frowned after hearing this.

"Daughter-in-law, my brother's family is as poor as a ghost. What money does he have?"

Wang Yingying said: "Don't we still have two acres of land? One acre is five taels, and two acres is ten taels! This much money is enough for our son to take the exam in the examination room! If our son is admitted as a scholar, then he will He can support himself. Let’s find him a wealthy businessman’s father-in-law in the county town.”

"By then, the woman's dowry will definitely be large!"

Hearing this, Chen Yixing's eyes widened.

"Daughter-in-law, what kind of hysteria are you having?! Our family doesn't even have a place to live now, and the fields at home belong to my younger brother... What you are talking about is absolutely impossible!"

Too lazy to have his own whims with his wife, Chen Yixing turned over and fell asleep.

too tired.

He has been tired for a long day!

Tomorrow morning, he has to get up early!
Seeing him like this, Wang Yingying suddenly burst into tears and felt very uncomfortable.

Who is she talking about all this for?Isn’t it for my own son?
Sons are good, and they are good parents.

In the future, when they grow old, they will all count on their sons to live their lives!
Wang Yingying felt very anxious when she thought that her son was already 11 years old this year, already [-] years old, and would marry a wife in a few years.

To marry a daughter-in-law, one must have a house and land at home, and a few taels of silver as a bride price.

Although her background was not bad before and her family was not short of money, now they are really too poor.Nothing left.

Wang Yingying became anxious when she thought that her son would probably become a bachelor in the future and become completely destitute.

I couldn't sleep at night.

The next morning, Wang Yingying had a pair of thick dark circles under her eyes, smiling and wanting to help Chen Feiyan.

Chen Feiyan avoided it and said, "You are a guest after all! How can I keep you busy with such a thing?"

"I'm used to cooking. I can do it alone."

These words were obviously meant to care about her, but Wang Yingying found them particularly harsh.

Wondering if she was being sarcastic.Look down on her.

"...Okay, since you are used to doing it on your own, I won't cause any trouble to you."

Chen Feiyan made the porridge with nimble hands and feet.Invite your husband, son, daughter, and Chen Yixing’s family to come over for dinner.

A bowl of thick porridge with a lot of fish in it was quite delicious for everyone.

After dinner, Chen Yixuan took his three sons and Chen Yixing and his son out.

This time when they went out, the six men met other villagers in Chenjia Village.

The older and younger villagers were all frowning at the two strange men, Chen Yixing and Wang Jihe.

Everyone asked Chen Yixuan, who are the two people next to him? Why are they so unfamiliar?

Chen Yixuan explained with a smile: "This is my brother coming back!"

"He's back? Didn't he marry someone else?" an old man in the village exclaimed.

When Chen Yixing saw that the old man in front of him was the village chief's third uncle, he stood up and said, "No! It's all fake. I went out to do business when I was young."

"It has been more than ten years. I was doing business outside because I lost all my money, so I came back with my wife and children. I came back yesterday. I didn't say hello to the elders in the village. Isn't it mine? !" The villagers in Chenjiacun saw that he was very thin, his hair was gray, and half of his teeth were missing, and they immediately knew that what he said was true.

"Brother, when you wanted to go out, what did I say to you? I told you, it's not easy to hang out outside! Old people say that it's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's very difficult to go out. You, you were too much in the beginning. I am young and always want to venture outside..."

"Yes, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are already looking like this. You must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot!"

Dozens of villagers gathered around Chen Yixing and Chen Yixuan, pointing fingers, saying that their family's life was getting worse day by day. The elder brother did not die outside because his ancestors burned incense...

After standing on the village road and chatting with these villagers for half an hour, it was already getting bright outside. Then one by one, they carried baskets on their backs and carried sickles and other things, and went to their fields.

……

Things like today's onlookers and nonsense actually happen often in the village.

Trivial friction occurs every day.

People in the village look up but not down.Every time I go out to work in the fields, I have to say hello to dozens of people in the village.

"Brother, I will accompany you to the village chief's house later! We should talk to the elders about your return!"

Chen Yixing nodded, "It should be, this is what it should be!"

……

After a whole morning of farm work, Chen Yixuan and his team of six were exhausted to death.

When he returned to the village and passed the village chief's house at noon, he knocked on the door of his house.

The village chief's house has a large yard.Several large blue brick houses with tiles are extremely bright and decent.

The village chief's youngest son opened the door to Chen Yixuan and his group, took them in, and then called him dad.

Chen Yixuan took his son, eldest brother and nephew to bow to the village chief.

The village chief nodded, looked at Chen Yixuan and said, "I have heard about your eldest brother's return."

"By the way, didn't your brother marry into the Wang family? Since he married into the Wang family, he is not from my Chen family. It's okay to be a guest in our Chenjia Village. If you want to build a house here, we won't agree."

Over the years, Chen Yixing has received countless rejections.

Hearing the old village chief say this, he smiled flatteringly.

"Village Chief, you must have misunderstood. I am still from Chenjia Village! No, take a closer look. This is my original household registration, and this is another household registration we registered in Lin'an City."

"I have never changed my surname no matter where I am. In fact, it's my fault that I left in a hurry and didn't explain it clearly to you before I left. The reason I left was to follow my father-in-law to Jiangnan to do some small business. I know it’s not easy to do business outside, and there are man-eating wolves everywhere. A good home has been destroyed by those tax collectors who eat people without spitting out their bones..."

When the village head of Chenjia Village heard Chen Yixing complaining, he first listened carefully and then let out a long sigh.

"You young people are just ignorant! Do you think it's easy to make money outside?"

His eldest son works as a waiter in a tavern in the county town, with food and lodging included, and he still gets thirty bucks a month.

Such an errand that costs less and is closer to home is still the envy of many people in the village!
Thinking that Chen Yixing had married a wealthy daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and had not seen each other for more than ten years, and now she was in such a miserable state, the old village chief shook his head, said a few words to him briefly, and sent them away. .

Although it is said that heroes are not judged by their success or failure.

But people like Chen Yixing, in his eyes, are just useless bears.

The Wang family's huge wealth was completely destroyed by them in just over ten years!
What a pity!
