Okay, Okay, I’ll Take the Credit, Right?

Chapter 49 Returning to Hometown

This time back to Jiang'an City, Su Chen brought a little more money.

Tiangang City is indeed much more generous.

 With two months of assistance, the contribution he earned was more than twice that of the Yunyang Sect.

 And now that my practice has improved, I no longer need to spend contribution points in exchange for any practice skills.

Tiangang City must have some mysterious skills. Since it has been a sect for so many years, it must have its own unique heritage.

 But now, Su Chen really has no interest in changing any techniques.

There is "Xuantian Daojun" in his own hands, and there is such a method of practicing the deep sage.

  There is no need to waste contribution points in exchange for other things.

 Su Chen can now use the extra contribution points for two purposes.

 The first one is elixir resources, and the second one is to take it home and give it to my mother-in-law and my sister’s family.

  Without the expense of exercises, it is actually much easier.

On the way back, Su Chen rented a carriage directly at the inn.

The richer you are, the easier it will be for you to travel by carriage.

 After two days' journey, Su Chen returned to Jiang'an City.

 Look at the time, it’s just past noon.

Now in spring, various farm work has begun to increase.

As soon as he reached the city gate, Su Chen saw several uncles and aunts he knew, carrying hoes and tools, probably preparing to go out to work.

 “Uncle Zhong, aunt.”

Su Chen greeted with a smile.

 The two of them turned their heads and looked at each other, with a slight smile on their faces.

 But the next moment, the two of them realized that the person in front of them was Su Chen, and their smiles immediately faded.

　　He even rolled his eyes at Su Chen.

 The attitudes of the two people made Su Chen feel a little uncomfortable.

 Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, they are actually very good people.

 In the past, in Jiang'an City, if someone at home needed help, Uncle Chen and Auntie would take care of them.

 The relationship between everyone is actually very good.

But today when Su Chen greeted them, their expressions showed disgust.

Su Chen naturally understands why this situation occurs.

Chen Xia made all kinds of nonsense in Jiang'an City, saying that she was greedy for credit in the Yunyang Sect and was driven away by the Yunyang Sect.

With a reputation like his own, how could the common people give him a good look?

 Comparatively speaking, ordinary people may value this reputation more than people from various sects.

Before entering the city, Su Chen had already vaguely guessed the situation of A Niang and his little sister.

 I rarely go home, so I don't mind this cold face.

Out of sight out of mind.

 But my mother-in-law and my younger sister have been living in Jiang'an City.

 They don’t know how many cold faces they will endure every day.

Walking into Jiang'an City, Su Chen walked all the way home.

On the way, Su Chen saw a shop selling cooked vegetables.

It’s a well-made dish. If you buy one, the merchant will wrap it up in oil paper and take it home to taste.

 My little sister really likes the cooked dishes here. Every time she brings them home, she has a huge appetite and eats more than usual.

 While buying cooked vegetables, the merchant looked up.

 When he found out it was Su Chen, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

He said coldly: "Eight cents a share."

"Eight cents? It used to be four cents a share, right?"

Su Chen frowned and couldn't help but ask.

“Others still pay four cents for it, but your family only needs eight cents.

 Since you have taken so much credit and contribution from others, you should not be short of these few cents. "

Su Chen frowned, but still paid for one.

 “It’s really rich~”

The merchant in front of me seems to be a little reluctant to sell for eight cents a piece.

But seeing how much money there was, I was a little reluctant to part with it, so I packed a portion and handed it to Su Chen. Su Chen was even more troubled when he mentioned this cooked dish.

 It’s not about the few pennies.

 At present, in Tiangang City, no behavior of withholding contributions has been found.

 As my strength gradually improves, I won’t feel as depressed as I did in Yunyang Sect.

 They have increased prices three or four times, and the contribution they have earned is enough to afford it.

 But my mother-in-law and my younger sister are usually frugal.

Even if I earn more money, the price is so much higher than before, my mother-in-law will definitely be more reluctant to buy it.

 I don’t know how shabby their lives will be at home.

Thinking about it, Su Chen's feet seemed a little heavier.

 Walking all the way home, my mother-in-law and my little sister were in the yard, seeming to be knitting something.

　　Seeing Su Chen, both of them were stunned for a moment, and a smile instantly broke out on their faces.

"Why don't you tell me in the letter that you are coming back? You see, your family is not prepared at all."

Aniang had a gentle smile on her face.

 It is always a happy thing when a child comes home.

“Brother, why are you coming back at this time? After spring, there will be more things, right?”

 The younger sister seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her face quickly faded.

Aniang on the side also understood and looked a little worried.

“Did something happen in Tiangang City as well?

 Is it the things that the Yunyang Sect slandered you about? "

Seeing the worried looks of the two of them, Su Chen quickly smiled.

“When something goes wrong, something good happens. The elders of Tiangang City are much more sensible.

 I didn’t encounter any harsh treatment there, and I earned more contribution points than before. "

Su Chen was being pulled into the house as he spoke.

While speaking, Su Chen showed off his new weapon to the two of them.

 A good long knife obtained from a senior.

 Compared to what I used before, I don’t know how much better it is.

Aniang and my little sister turned their heads and looked at it. They didn't know how to identify the grade of the weapon.

 But the long knife in front of you can see a huge difference in quality with the naked eye.

Since they had enough energy to change weapons, the two of them still believed that Su Chen was not in trouble.

 Put the cooked vegetables you bought on the table.

 In the house, Aniang started to cook, and the little girl beside her helped.

Looking at the busy backs of the two people, Su Chen felt very uncomfortable.

 “My mother and I have both lost weight.”

“I was tired of eating during the Chinese New Year, and my body couldn’t bear it.

Recently, if you nourish your stomach a little bit, you will gain weight again. "

Aniang answered with a smile and did not stop working at all.

“When I came back, I bought a cooked dish. He said that other people sold it for four cents, but for our family, he wanted to sell it for eight cents.”

 Hearing this, Aniang’s movements became slightly slower.

“Because of my reputation, my mother-in-law and my little sister suffered in Jiang’an City.

 Others also have various dislikes for our family and treat us harshly. "

“Actually, it’s okay. We do our own thing, and it doesn’t have much impact.”

Aniang opened her mouth to defend herself, but now she had lost some of her confidence in what she said.

“Let’s go live in other cities. My ability to earn contributions is much stronger now than before.

 We would be better off in another city.

 There is no need to accept these cold looks, just like before. "

Hearing Su Chen’s words, Aniang shook her head.

"Your father is buried in the back mountain. What will he do if I leave?"

There are so many ancestors who also have to worship during every year and festival. "

As she said that, Aniang turned her head and looked at Su Chen.

“What’s more, once we leave, it will be even harder to cleanse the filth from your body.

Those who arrange our words, I don’t know what they will become. "
