3. 21 to 30

It wasn't until Shen Chenyu got down from the tree that he realized that many people had come to the village this time. And the person who almost killed him with an arrow just now was the invisible Mu Linting.

Originally, Shen Chenyu was still a little angry, but when she saw Mu Linting, she was no longer angry. Because Mu Linting would appear on the mountain, he must have come here because he was worried about him.

Mu Linting had an old injury on his leg, and he couldn't find it if he walked slowly on weekdays. At this time, probably because he was worried about Shen Chenyu, his steps were a little fast, which highlighted the inconvenience of his legs and feet. Mu Linting reached out and grabbed Shen Chenyu's wrist, and he let go only after Shen Chenyu said that he was fine.

At this time, the villagers were holding torches and agricultural tools, and were chasing away a big wounded tiger. The tiger was shot by Mu Linting's arrow, and faced with so many armed villagers, he let out a low growl and wanted to run into the deep mountains.

The village head on the side shouted, "You can't let this beast run away, kill it while it is injured." In

this era, it is not uncommon for wolves, tigers and leopards to exist in the mountains, and some villages near the mountains often have wild animals hurting people . thing. In the past three years in Xiling Village, there have been tigers going down the mountain to eat people. The person who was eaten was a young and beautiful daughter-in-law.

Back then, this incident was reported to the government, and the government also sent people to go up the mountain with the villagers, but the tiger was not found at that time. Unexpectedly, after three years, this tiger came to the door by itself today.

When the little daughter-in-law's man saw the tiger, he immediately rushed up with red eyes, looking like he wanted to fight the big tiger desperately. At this time, all the young and middle-aged people in the village were there, so he was not allowed to fight the tiger alone, and each of them followed with weapons in their hands.

Because Mu Linting's arrow hit the vital point, the big tiger was soon subdued by a group of villagers. After everyone finished dealing with the tiger, they found that besides a dead wild boar, there were two live wild boars in the cracks on the ground.

Shen Chenyu was about to go over to look at the wild boars over there, when she saw a brother leading an old couple coming over, the family of three would kneel when they saw Shen Chenyu.

Shen Chenyu had never seen such a battle before, she stretched out her hand to support the two elders and said, "What are you doing, talk about it if you have anything to say."

The little brother said with red eyes when he heard the words: "This Thanks to the little brother of the Shen family, otherwise I would be in danger this time. I am the only child in our family, if something happens to me, my father and dad will be finished." The

little brother's father also said quickly: "Yes, yes, This time, thanks to Xiaolang of the Shen family, the kindness and virtue of Mr. Xiaolang, our Liu family will definitely remember it in our hearts."

At this time, Shen Chenyu recognized that this little brother was the little brother he had rescued before. The couple are the two parents of the little brother.

Everyone in Xiling Village already knew about Shen Chenyu's rescue of people. Everyone felt relieved when they saw that Shen Chenyu was not injured, and everyone gathered around Shen Chenyu to praise him for his courage.

Because of the appearance of a big tiger, Shen Chenyu didn't need to explain anything aloud, and the villagers automatically made up a big drama. Even people who looked down on Shen Chenyu before now think that Shen Chenyu is not bad.

Tigers and wild boars are protected animals in later generations, but in this era of harsh living conditions for the common people, these large beasts will not only hurt people but also destroy farmland.

In addition, the production capacity in ancient times was very poor, and there were no weapons and weapons that could threaten them, so these beasts multiplied wantonly in the deep mountains. Sometimes it will not only endanger the lives of ordinary people, but there have even been cases of wild beasts massacring villages in history.

Over the years, the government has sent people to hunt and kill large wild animals every five years to ensure the safety of the people near the mountains. But because the government has a lot of things to do, in order to encourage some folk heroes to fight for the people, ordinary people will give rewards for hunting large wild animals. This is actually similar to bandits, and even in some special cases, the reward is more than that of catching bandits.

Because there was a bandit incident not long ago, many troops have been stationed in various small towns recently. After learning that a herd of wild boars appeared in Xiling Village, people from the army came to Xiling Village early the next morning.

Because Shen Chenyu is good at archery and knows more about the situation on the mountain than the army. When the army went up the mountain to encircle the remaining wild boars, they brought Shen Chenyu and two villagers with them.

Shen Liushi was quite worried about this, but looking at the high-spirited Shen Chenyu, even if she was worried, she couldn't stop him in the end. What's more, she has never really raised Shen Chenyu, and she has no position to point fingers at Shen Chenyu.

Shen Chenyu stayed with the army on the mountain for three days, not only saw the hard-working spirit of the ancient soldiers, but also became a good friend with one of the soldiers. The other party admired Shen Chenyu's archery skills very much, and when he went down the mountain, he said that if he had a chance in the future, he must have a good archery competition with Shen Chenyu.

Because most of the wild boars were killed by the army, only the three before were caught by Shen Chenyu "by luck". In the end, Shen Chenyu only got eight taels of silver reward. Of the eight taels of silver reward, thirty taels was the reward for the three wild boars, and the remaining fifty taels of silver was the money he earned by leading the way.

As for the silver reward for the tiger, because the tiger was handed over to the army in the end and could not be sold for money like the three wild boars, the silver reward was more than that of the wild beast.

A tiger gave ten taels of silver, of which five taels were given to Mu Linting. Because without Mu Linting's fatal blow, it would not be easy for the villagers to catch it.

Then, it was the matter of selling the three wild boars for money. Although Shen Chenyu caught the wild boar on the surface, but without the help of people from Xiling Village, even if he caught the wild boar, he couldn't get it down the mountain. In the end, Shen Chenyu sold the two wild boars and distributed the remaining one to the villagers.

In this way, Shen Chenyu won't be jealous of selling wild boars before, and he will also gain a lot of favorability because he is relatively generous. After this incident with the wild boar herd, Shen Chenyu could be considered to have fully integrated into Xiling Village.

The price of pork at this time is about 18 Wen a catty. Because the smell of wild boar meat is very strong, not everyone can accept it, and it may be difficult to sell it for 18 cents a catty.

The two wild boars weighed more than 200 catties each, and the other weighed more than 260 catties. The wild boar weighing two hundred catties was dragged by the second grandfather of the Shen family and sold to a restaurant in the town.

Because the wild boar has not been treated, after removing the wild boar hair, pig offal, and blood, it is estimated that only about 150 catties are left. The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Er Niu's face, and finally sold the wild boar for more than 2,700 yuan.

Half of the remaining wild boar was sold to the butcher shop in the town, and the other half was sold cheaply to the people in the town, for a total of 3,100 Wen. Selling cheaply has the advantage of selling cheaply, that is, the wild boar meat is sold out quickly, and there is no need to run to the town every day after that.

This time, most of the selling of wild boar meat was done with the help of the second cow of the Shen family or the Shen family. Shen Chenyu didn't know much about these things, and his body was not as good as theirs, he was like a half-hands-off shopkeeper throughout the whole process.

In order to thank the two for their help, Shen Chenyu gave them fifty Wen each. It is said that it is easy to do things with money, and they will look at Shen Chenyu's generosity in the future, if Shen Chenyu has something, they will definitely help.

Even if the Shen family is Shen Chenyu's cousin, but the brothers still know how to settle accounts, let alone Shen Chenyu who came back halfway. As a human being, you can't always care about small gains and losses. It's easy to care about the road getting narrower and narrower.

Excluding the one hundred Wen and the ten Wen for renting an ox cart, Shen Chenyu earned 5,750 Wen in the past two days. Including the reward he received before, he only earned thirteen taels and seven hundred and fifty Wen after working for seven or eight days.

This amount of money is already a huge sum of money for ordinary farmers. But for Shen Chenyu, the rich second generation, even a good horse can't be bought for more than a dozen taels of silver.

Horses in ancient times, like cars in later generations, were indispensable means of mobility. Shen Chenyu had seen horses in the army before, so she wanted to buy a horse. It's a pity that he doesn't even have enough money for his studies, so he may have to wait for a while to buy a good horse.

After the matter of the wild boar was finished, the weather was fine, so Shen Chenyu took his family to the town.

Their house is short of many things now. He built a yard with five taels of silver and three taels of silver before, and he has been reluctant to use the remaining two taels of silver. Their family's food and drink are all subsidized by others, and even the tea, rice, oil and salt they bought before were spent by Shen Liushi.

Now that Shen Chenyu finally has money, the first thing to do is to buy everything that needs to be bought, and make some new clothes for the family by the way. Seeing that spring is here and the weather is getting warmer, but the family of four doesn't even have decent clothes.

A group of them went by bullock cart, and there were other people from the village on the bullock cart. Many people in the village like to tease children. Seeing that the dolls of Shen Chenyu's family are so cute, they can't help but want to touch Xiao Roubao's little cheeks.

Xiaoroubao was considered a premature baby, and he suffered a serious crime after birth. Even if he is in better health now, he is not as strong as other children.

Shen Chenyu was afraid that some people's hands would not be clean, and it wouldn't be worth it if Xiao Roubao got sick. So in order to prevent them from touching the little meat bun all the time, Shen Chenyu handed the child to Mu Linting after getting in the car.

Because Mu Linting always had a cold face and there were several hideous scars on his face, no one in the neighboring villages in the west dared to speak to Mu Linting.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu handed over the child to the other party at this time, the group of people did not dare to move forward any more, they could only turn their heads and chat with Shen Liushi one after another.

They all said that Mrs. Shen Liu's hardships are rewarding, and if they exchanged an unfilial Shen Ming for a good-tempered and capable Shen Chenyu, life would only get better and better in the future.

Shen Liushi also felt that what they said was reasonable, probably because of the filial son in her mother's eyes, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Shen Chenyu was better than Shen Mingxuan.

When they reached the town, Shen Chenyu and the others separated from the villagers. The first stop they went to was the grocery store, where they needed to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. I also bought some bottles and cans, and chose two cute small bowls for Xiaoroubao.

After that, Shen Chenyu was about to go to the tailor shop, but was dragged by Shen Liu to the cloth shop next to her. Because the clothes in the tailor shop are too expensive, Shen Liu thinks it is more cost-effective to buy cloth to make clothes.

When Shen Liushi was choosing the cloth, Mu Linting wanted to give Shen Chenyu his silver, but Shen Chenyu didn't ask for his silver.

Although in this world, Mu Linting is a brother, and now he is Shen Chenyu's Fulang. But in Shen Chenyu's eyes, Mu Linting is no different from ordinary men.

It is said that a man has confidence only when he has money, but Shen Chenyu still thinks that it is better for Mu Linting to keep some money by his side. In case Mu Linting needed money, he would come over to ask Shen Chenyu for money.

Seeing this, Mu Linting couldn't say anything. He wasn't the kind of character who likes to refuse. Seeing that Shen Chenyu really didn't want to accept his money, he could only take it back temporarily. Mu Linting didn't think so much, he thought that Shen Chenyu had money in his hands now, and he could give it to the other party when he ran out of money in the future.

Shen Liushi also knew that Shen Chenyu was rich, so she chose two kinds of cloth with bright colors and soft texture, and planned to make more clothes for Xiao Roubao after buying them.

A child looks different every day, and he grows fast if he eats well. Shen Liushi can live a hard life by herself, but she is not willing to let her grandson be wronged.

So she planned to buy some more cloth for her little grandson. Anyway, she was idle alone, so she might as well make more clothes for Xiaoroubao.

Shen Chenyu looked at the brightly colored fabric in Shen Liushi's hands, and only then did she realize that his child is a brother, and in this world a brother seems to be similar to a girl.

Shen Chenyu remembered the brothers in the village, some of whom were dressed similarly to the girls. Although it is not as bright as the girl's dress, the clothes are still different from the men's.

Although he regards Mu Linting and Xiaoroubao as men in his heart, Shen Chenyu is not sure what Mu Linting himself thinks? Would he like these bright and beautiful clothes as much as the boys and girls?

As if aware of Shen Chenyu's eyes, Mu Linting, who had been silent all this time, glanced at him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his dull eyes.

"What?"

Shen Chenyu hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and then said with difficulty: "Isn't this choosing the fabric? What color do you like?"

Mu Linting heard Shen Chenyu's words, and his empty pupils were indistinguishable trembling. No one had ever asked him that question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer it.

His mother had disappeared since he was a child, and his stepmother would never ask him such a thing. He wears what others give him, even if he is asked to wear autumn clothes in winter, because of his filial piety, he can't resist.

Suddenly hearing that Shen Chenyu was concerned about this issue, Mu Linting himself didn't know what color he liked. Now when he even thinks about it carefully, he doesn't remember what kind of clothes he was wearing before.

Seeing the blankness flashing in his eyes, Shen Chenyu couldn't help sighing slightly in her heart, then ran to Shen Liushi and muttered a few words. When Shen Liushi heard the words, he took a look at Mu Linting, put down the cloth in his hand, and helped Mu Linting pick it up.

Mu Linting's appearance was completely ruined, and his eyes were also blind. No matter how beautiful the fabric was chosen for him, he couldn't see it. In Shen Liu's opinion, instead of buying him some bright fabrics, it is better to choose some plain colors and good textures.

Because if a person with a completely disfigured face wears eye-catching clothes, it will not make Mu Linting look much better, except that it will make other people laugh.

After getting along for this period of time, Shen Liu could see clearly Shen Chenyu's attitude towards Mu Linting. Don't look at Mu Linting's terrifying face, and his usually silent personality, but the relationship between Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting is very close.

This kind of intimacy does not mean the intimacy of the interaction between the two of them, but the tacit understanding between them. Rather than saying that the two are husband and wife, it is better to say that they are more like close friends with a very good relationship.

Shen Liu's character is relatively soft, although she saw something in them, but she didn't dare to ask Shen Chenyu what was going on?

She was born and raised with mud legs, and she didn't have any big ambitions in her life. She only hoped that her family would be safe and sound.

So even if she saw something, in order to maintain the peace and stability on the surface, she didn't intend to pierce the window paper.

The fabric Shen Liushi chose for Mu Linting was as soft as the one for Xiaoroubao. The only difference between the fabrics of the two is that the fabric of Xiaoroubao is more colorful, and the fabric chosen for Mu Linting is relatively more plain.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu also helped Mu Linting choose a suit. Shen Chenyu knew that her aesthetics were a bit straight, so she chose only one kind very self-aware.

When Shen Chenyu and Shen Chenyue went shopping in the previous life, Shen Chenyue often complained about their rustic and luxurious aesthetics. Obviously the two of them have received the same education since they were young, so why can their aesthetics be so different.

So much so that in the past twenty years, every time Shen Chenyu bought jewelry for her with great interest, she would be returned by Shen Chenyue because of poor aesthetics.

Because the Shen family only had their two children, and Shen Chenyu's indomitable spirit, the more Shen Chenyue disliked the gifts he gave, the more Shen Chenyu tried her best to collect gifts for her.

Later, in her small villa, Shen Chenyu specially bought a room for Shen Chenyue alone, in which gifts for Shen Chenyue were specially stored.

When Shen Chenyu was collecting materials, she always thought that what she would encounter was the end of the world, so she only put a jade box into the space. If he had known that he had come to ancient times, he would have packed all the jewelry in the room, so that he would not have to run around for money.

When thinking of this, Shen Chenyu remembered the matter of the jade box. He accompanied Shen Liushi to choose things, while searching for the jade box in the space.

Because there are so many things in his space, he even forgot that he still has a box of jewelry. With this jade box of jewelry, he no longer has to worry about the cost of doing business.

After buying the cloth for making clothes, they went to the grain store to buy some rice flour. Then I wandered around the stalls in the market and bought some miscellaneous and practical gadgets.

When the family returned to Xiling Village, Shen Chenyu helped send the things back home, and then he went to the town by himself.

This time he didn't come to buy anything, but simply changed his clothes and went to the bank in the town to exchange money.

On the way back to Xiling Village, Shen Chenyu had already dug out the jade box, and found that there were many good things in the jade box.

These things are Shen Chenyu, jewelry given to Shen Chenyue since she was a child. It's a pity that Shen Chenyue disliked his aesthetics very much, so Shen Chenyu had no choice but to put away these jewelry, planning to give Shen Chenyue a dowry for her when she got married.

Although Shen Chenyu knew in his heart that Shen Chenyue might not care about these things, but he still enjoyed collecting them.

There are more than 20 pieces of jewelry in the entire jade box, the most expensive of which is the jade box containing these things, and a necklace of twelve emeralds in the box.

In order not to attract the attention of others, after Shen Chenyu selected a circle from the inside, she planned to choose two pieces of jewelry that were not very eye-catching. As a result, when turning over the jade box, a dozen small yellow croakers were found at the bottom of the jade box.

A small yellow croaker weighs one tael, and the gold-silver exchange rate in this dynasty is one to ten, and one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.

Shen Chenyu didn't dare to take out too many small yellow croakers, so he hesitated for a while and only took out two small yellow croakers. Two small yellow croakers weigh two taels, so if converted into silver, it would be twenty taels.

Shen Chenyu had a total of fifteen taels, seven hundred and fifty wen, and he gave Shen Liushi two taels of silver for his future household, and spent another one, two, five hundred and thirty wen on shopping. In the middle, they spent 20 Wen on making the bullock cart, and now Shen Chenyu still has 12, 200 and 200 Wen in his hand.

Now with the twenty taels exchanged by Shen Chenyu, he now has a lot of money in his hand, which is enough for Shen Chenyu to start a small business.

After Shen Chenyu got the money, she put most of the money into the space. Then he didn't go back to Xiling Village immediately, but went to the bookstore in the town first.

Relying on the original owner's memory of this world, Shen Chenyu spent nearly two taels of silver to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Shen Chenyu suddenly felt a pain in the flesh after shopping. The purchasing power of two taels of silver can buy a lot of rice, noodles, oil and salt. It seems that reading is really a waste of money.

When Shen Chenyu came back again, the sky outside became dark before he knew it. When he came back, in order to exercise his body, he walked all the way back instead of taking a bullock cart.

This body has not been exercised much, and Shen Chenyu was exhausted halfway through the walk, so she sat on the side of the road and rested for a while. Because he rested while walking along the way, it took him two hours to complete the originally one and a half hour journey.

At this time, she finally came back, Shen Chenyu put down her things and just wanted to lie down and rest. However, before he could lie down and continue pretending to be dead, Shen Jiayu's voice came from outside.

"Brother Yu, my father asked me to ask you, do you want to make furniture in your family?" What

I forgot to mention before is that Uncle Shen's family is a carpenter. It is precisely because Uncle Shen has this skill that the life of the eldest son of the Shen family is better than that of other families.

Originally Shen Lao Er also wanted to follow suit, but unfortunately he was not good at handwork, so he didn't learn anything after studying for half a year.

"My father took over a job two days ago, and now there is some good wood left, thinking that your family should lack a lot of things, so he asked me to come over and ask about the situation."

Shen Chenyu said as she walked out: " That's great, I'm thinking about making a cot for Little Roubao."

Since moving to Xiling Village, Xiaoroubao's crib and diapers can no longer be used. Every time Shen Chenyu saw him sleeping with Shen Liushi, she was worried that Shen Liushi would crush Xiaoroubao while sleeping, and at the same time worried that Shen Liushi would not feel at ease sleeping with Xiaoroushi.

Shen Chenyu thought about it for a long time, but still felt that it would be more convenient to have a crib, preferably one with wheels underneath. Not only can the child be pushed out to bask in the sun, but it can also save adults and children from being uncomfortable when sleeping together.

In addition to building a crib, Shen Chenyu also wanted to make a dressing table for Shen Liushi, and an archery target and wooden man for Mu Linting. He also needs to make a desk for himself, and finally a big wooden bucket for bathing.

The more Shen Chenyu thought about it, the more she felt that their family needed a lot of things, and Uncle Shen's house must not have enough wood. He still needs to go to Uncle Shen's house, and then discuss the style and price of the things.

If it was just a crib, Shen Chenyu could rely on the relationship between the two families to ask Uncle Shen to make Xiaoroubao for free. But now he wants more things. After all, brothers still have a clear settlement, so there is no need for him to owe a big favor for this little money. In Shen Chenyu's view, as long as things can be solved with money, it's better not to owe others favors.

Since it was getting late now and Shen Chenyu was exhausted, he didn't go to the big house with Shen Jiayu now, and planned to go there tomorrow morning to discuss this matter.

After sending the Shen family away, Shen Chenyu was worried that Uncle Shen didn't know the style of the crib, so she took out the paper, ink, brush and inkstone she just bought today, and then wrote and drew on the paper for a long time.

What he said was not as clear as the blueprints. Uncle Shen is a person who is used to carpentry, so he must be able to understand the meaning of his blueprints at a glance, and Shen Chenyu's tongue will be saved at that time.

Shen Chenyu looked at the drawings she had drawn, and her eyes suddenly lit up uncontrollably. Speaking of which, he is a person who traveled over from later generations, and he has seen many more styles of furniture than ancient people. He can completely rely on the style of furniture in his hand to support the entire Shen family and even Xiling Village.

Shen Chenyu plans to take an official career in the future, he can't do business in an open and aboveboard manner. But the first and second rooms of the Shen family have separated, and the first room can do business there.

Moreover, Uncle Shen is a carpenter and a craftsman for scholars, farmers, and businessmen. Even if he makes his signboard bigger, he can only be regarded as a capable craftsman, and he doesn't have to be reduced to the lowest business status.

While Shen Chenyu was thinking like this, she picked up a pen and began to write and draw, her whole body was full of indescribable excitement.

If the first and second families of the Shen family can support each other and live in peace like this forever, Shen Chenyu is willing to push the first family forward.

Because only the big house followed suit, in the future, like the Shen family in Qingcheng County behind Shen Mingxian, he could become a strong and powerful backer behind Shen Chenyu.

But if the people in the big house are not honest and obedient, then Shen Chenyu will hand over the drawings to other people in the Shen family, and if the others are not reliable, then he will support people with other surnames.

Anyway, Shen Chenyu would not trade at a loss, let alone repay grievances with virtue like a fool. All the choices are in their hands, and then it depends on how these people plan to choose.

...

At this time, in the yard of the big house of the Shen family, Uncle Shen was clearing up the wood in the yard, and the wife and brother of the Shen family were also cleaning the yard.

Shen Jiayu walked into the yard, and said to Uncle Shen in the yard: "Father, Brother Yu said he has a lot to do, and he will come over tomorrow to discuss it with you."

Shen Jiayou's younger brother, Shen Jiayue, also It's the little brother from the eldest family of the Shen family. As soon as he heard what the Shen family said, he immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Then he didn't say how much he paid? We can't make our family busy for nothing, right?"

Before the Shen family heard the words, they had no time to speak. Uncle Shen's stern voice sounded over there. "What do you mean by that? That's your only cousin, who did you learn your pettiness from?"

Although Shen Jiayao was usually self-willed, he was still afraid of this father in his bones. Uncle Shen is the kind of person who looks easy to talk to, but once he gets angry, he will beat others.

Just when Shen Jiayao felt aggrieved and scared, the grandma of Shen's family who heard the commotion from the room also came out. She stared coldly at the aggrieved Shen Jiayao, and then followed her eldest son's words and said, "Your father is right. He is your only cousin. What's wrong with making something for him? I also took wild boar meat, why didn't I see you remember others' favors?"

Shen Jiayao originally thought that he was wrong, and was thinking about whether to apologize to his father. But when she saw the old lady who always favored boys, she immediately turned around unwillingly and went to find his mother.

In Shen Jiayao's heart, Auntie Shen is a eccentric person, she only has her son and grandson in her eyes, and doesn't care about him at all.

Because the old lady wanted Uncle Shen to take care of her, she would favor the eldest family from time to time. But the situation is different now. Shen Lao Er went up the mountain because he had no money.

Although the old lady felt that it was Shen Liu who killed the second child, she felt very guilty every time the night was quiet. She always felt that if she had cared more about the second child's family back then, the second child Shen would not have died at such a young age. In the mountains.

People in this era are more superstitious. She is really afraid that after she dies, she will have no face to go down to meet her old man.

Not only Grandma Shen felt guilty, but Uncle Shen was so kind to Shen Chenyu, most of it was because of his guilt towards his younger brother.

Because he was the eldest son since he was a child, the elders in the family would prefer him more or less. At the beginning, Uncle Shen still felt sorry for his younger brother, but after he knew that most people were like this, over time he didn't feel so sorry for his younger brother.

He took all partiality for granted, even when the two sides separated, he didn't think it was wrong to take everything.

But it wasn't until Shen's second child died, and Uncle Shen saw brothers supporting each other in other families, that he remembered his brother's good fortune in a daze.

Uncle Shen couldn't help but think, if it wasn't for the fact that the first and second sons of the Shen family had separated and he took over everything in the house, Shen's second son wouldn't have gone to the mountains because of lack of money?

...

After Shen Jiayao found his mother, he whimpered and talked about the outside affairs. Aunt Shen has always loved this brother dearly, even if the grandma of the Shen family doesn't like Shen Jiayao, she always holds Shen Jiayao in the palm of her hand. At this moment, seeing her little brother's aggrieved appearance, she immediately touched Shen Jiayao's face in distress.

"Mother, my father is really biased. He always looks at that outsider. When Shen Ming was here, he didn't see how nice he was to Shen Ming. Now that Shen Chenyu is back, he seems to be a different person. For Shen Chenyu he You just attacked me."

"And grandma too, she only has her grandson in her eyes, and she doesn't care about my feelings at all. Sometimes I feel that it would be nice if I were a man, at least I don't have to suffer from that old woman. Bullying."

Aunt Shen patted her brother on the shoulder, then lowered her voice and said to him: "My silly boy, your second uncle's death is a lump in your father's heart, isn't he treating Shen Chenyu well now? Because of guilt. At this time, you should be honest with me. Anyway, our family has not suffered during this period of time. What's more, you did not eat less of those wild pork, and your elder brother also benefited from him.

Your second great-grandfather was right before . Well, this kid was promising from the very beginning. How long has it been since he came back to Xiling Village? He has already established a firm foothold in our village. No one in our village has anything bad to say when they see him. Listen The meaning in your second great-grandfather's words is that this person will probably continue to study and take the imperial examination in the future. Even if he doesn't have the ability to take the exam for a top scholar, we will be honored if he wins a scholar."

Although Shen Chenyu just came back, it seemed It was their boss who suffered a lot. But this Shen Chenyu is a man who knows how to be a man. In this short period of time, as long as the second room is doing well, she will send some things to the first room.

Coupled with the wild boar herd incident this time, not only did their eldest family get a lot of benefits, but their reputation in Xiling Village improved as well.

Because of Shen Jiayao's bad temper before, his marriage has been dragged on without a deal. Now because of Shen Chenyu's good reputation, some people started to inquire about Shen Jiayao's marriage.

In the early years, Aunt Shen was jealous of Shen Liu's good looks, so there was a lot of friction between the two sisters-in-law. Originally, when Shen Liushi came back with Shen Chenyu, she wanted to take Shen Jiayao to show off. Now that she has seen the benefits brought by Shen Chenyu, she feels that the small favors and grievances in the past are not worth mentioning.

...

The next day, because Shen Chenyu had a lot of things to do, he got up before dawn.

Originally, he didn't want to disturb Mu Linting's rest, so he planned to get off the bed lightly. Unexpectedly, just as he sat up, Mu Linting beside him opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu whispered: "Woke you up?"

Mu Linting shook his head when he heard this. He was used to staying in the military camp before, and he had long developed the habit of getting up before dawn. He had been cooperating with Shen Chenyu's sleep before, so even if he woke up, he would stay in bed for a while, and wait until Shen Chenyu was about to get up before getting up.

Mu Linting heard the movement of Shen Chenyu putting on clothes, and followed Shen Chenyu to start putting on clothes. During this period of time, although the two have been sleeping on the same bed, they slept in two quilts.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are a young couple, only the two of them know their situation. If it weren't for worrying about the people in the village talking nonsense, Shen Chenyu felt that it would be better for each person to have a room.

But because Mu Linting couldn't see anything, and he had almost no sense of existence, it didn't really delay Shen Chenyu's work. The only thing that bothered Shen Chenyu a little was that he was worried that his love of tossing would delay Mu Linting's rest.

After Shen Chenyu got up, she went to the next room to read a book for a while. Because Shen Chenyu has come into contact with these books, and he has the memory blessing of the original owner, Shen Chenyu is no stranger to these Four Books and Five Classics.

Shen Chenyu read the book for half an hour, and the sky outside turned a little pale. At this time, Mu Linting was making breakfast in the kitchen, and Shen Chenyu planned to take advantage of this moment to go out to exercise, and when he came back, he could just bring two buckets of water back.

In her last life, Shen Chenyu never did housework, and the way to exercise is to go to the gym. Now that he has traveled to this era, he regards doing housework as a way of exercising his body.

During this period of time, he developed the habit of carrying water every day. From the beginning of carrying a bucket of water, he was so tired that his back hurt, and now he carried two buckets of water without blushing or panting. This shows that his daily exercise is still effective, and his body is at least much better than when the original owner was there.

In order not to disturb Shen Liushi and Xiao Roubao's rest, Shen Chenyu went to the foot of the mountain to exercise with two empty buckets. Now it's the beginning of spring, and the villagers in Xiling Village have started a new year's work. Many people go to the fields or mountains early in the morning to get busy.

Shen Chenyu's family also has two acres of land, all in the open space behind Shen Chenyu's yard. Both Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting are not suitable for farming, and Shen Liushi has to help take care of the young Roubao, so their family does not intend to make a living by farming.

It's not that I look down on the life of farming, but mainly because farming can't support him to study. If there was no threat from the Shen family and Shen Mingxian in Qingcheng County, Shen Chenyu would be very happy to live a small life of farming.

Shen Chenyu planned to grow spring wheat in one piece of land, and some seasonal vegetables in one piece of land. If it weren't for the fact that the field had to pay taxes every year, Shen Chenyu wouldn't even be willing to plant that wheat field.

Taxes in this dynasty are still quite heavy, 40% of a piece of land has to be taxed, and every three years each family has to send a male to serve in corvee. The work of corvée is very heavy and dangerous. Many times, when you go there, you are a good person. When you come back, you will be slightly injured and your life will be gone.

There was no male in the second room of the Shen family before, so it saved him from the hardship of corvee. But now that Shen Chenyu is back, if he doesn't take the imperial examination, he may still be at risk of being arrested for corvee service.

Although after going through a time-travel, Shen Chenyu was obviously able to suffer more than in the previous life, but he didn't want to serve any corvee. That kind of place doesn't take people seriously at all, Shen Chenyu can't stand that kind of place no matter how hard she can endure.

While Shen Chenyu was thinking in her heart, she started from the most basic Zhama step, and then jogged for half an hour.

When Shen Chenyu was running, he specially picked some sparsely populated paths. However, Xiling Village is larger than Qishan Village, and the population of Xiling Village is relatively large. Shen Chenyu met several villagers within a short time.

When everyone saw Shen Chenyu running, they couldn't help but wonder what Shen Chenyu was doing. Originally, running was a normal thing for Shen Chenyu, but because he had been pointed at by them all the time, it made Shen Chenyu feel like she was a different kind.

Running is the most basic and easiest way to exercise your body. Although Shen Chenyu was a bit awkward when they saw him, but thinking about it, he didn't hinder others, so he quickly ignored the unnaturalness and continued to cast wholeheartedly. In exercising.

When Shen Chenyu came back with two buckets of water, Mu Linting had already made breakfast fumbled. In order to help Mu Linting distinguish the different oil and salt jars, the jars containing oil, salt, sweet and sour are of different sizes, and some of them specially marked Mu Linting.

At this time, Shen Liushi had also gotten up, and she was wiping Xiaoroubao's face.

Shen Chenyu went back to the room and changed her clothes, then quickly finished her breakfast, and then went to the big room with the blueprint of the crib.

On the way to the big house, Shen Chenyu saw a child who was herding sheep, his eyes turned around on the child's sheep, and then walked towards the child with a smile on his face.

Shen Chenyu was born very good-looking, but now she looks even more beautiful with a smile in her eyes. The child's eyes were a little dazzled by his smile, until Shen Chenyu said twice about his reason for coming, and the child realized it belatedly.

"You said...you want to buy my sheep?"

The child couldn't decide on such matters, so Shen Chenyu followed the child to the other party's house. Then it was discovered that the child's parent was a young man with a familiar face. This young man is none other than the one who dragged Chen Chenyu the day the wild boar broke out.

This man's name is Shen Lianghan, his father, Shen Chenyu, is called Third Uncle, and the child who just herded the sheep is his eldest son.

The other party heard the reason why Shen Chenyu bought the sheep, and brought a ewe that had just calved over without saying a word. "You don't need to take money. This ewe gave birth to two lambs. I sold them when I went to the town a few days ago. The milk of this ewe has no lambs to eat, and there are no milk babies born in the village recently, so you just lead them Go back and feed your baby."

Shen Chenyu didn't want to owe favors to others, and this Shen Lianghan wasn't a character who liked to talk, so he accepted Shen Chenyu's twenty essays at last.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu went out in a hurry and came back with a sheep before he left, Shen Liushi couldn't help asking him curiously what he was doing.

When I was in Qishan Village, Xiaoroubao always drank milk powder. After returning to Xiling Village, the little guy's food became poor instead.

Thinking that the little boy could only drink rice cereal in the morning, Shen Chenyu couldn't help feeling sorry for her little boy. When he first saw the flock of sheep, he came up with the idea of feeding the cubs with goat milk.

Although goat milk is not as delicious as those milk powders, it is also more nutritious than rice cereal. Now it's time for the little boy to lay the foundation, Shen Chenyu feels that adequate nutrition is very important.

Shen Chenyu told the origin of the ewe, and when Shen Liu heard that she only borrowed the ewe from Shen Lianghan's family to feed the children, she said that the ewe would be handed over to her in the future.

Now the second room's housework is taken care of by Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting. During this period of time, apart from taking care of Xiaoroubao, Shen Liushi will only occasionally go to the kitchen to cook a meal. For a woman who is used to doing housework and has been busy for more than ten years, she always feels flustered when she is suddenly free.

Shen Chenyu didn't fight her after hearing the words, and told Shen Lianghan how to take care of the ewes, and then realized that he still had business to do.

When Shen Chenyu rushed to the big room, Uncle Shen was sitting in the yard of the old house waiting for him, and when he saw Shen Chenyu coming, he stood up.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu hurriedly said: "Uncle, sit down first, can you do what you see on this picture?"

Hearing this, Uncle Shen brought Shen Chenyu's drawing over, he frowned and looked at the drawing for a while, Looking at him, his eyes lit up.

"Where did you get this blueprint? It's very ingenious here, isn't it the same as a pushcart?"

Seeing Uncle Shen's reaction, Shen Chenyu said in her heart that it looks like something is going on, so the old and the young got together to discuss stand up.

Probably because he is interested in Shen Chenyu's crib, Uncle Shen has been busy since he got the blueprint, and he has been pulling Shen Chenyu to fiddle with it for a few days before getting it out.

At the beginning, Aunt Shen looked at the man so busy, and felt a little distressed why the man worked so hard? After being told by the Shen family, she stopped nagging around her man.

When Uncle Shen finally made something, even Shen Jiayao, who didn't understand anything, saw a little trick.

"Father, I heard from you and my cousin during the day, what kind of crib is this? It is a bed for children to sleep in, right? The four legs of this bed are buckled down to form wheels, and if they are pulled up, it will be a fixed cot. And this bed The guardrail is also very interesting, so it can fit together with the bed when you press it down."

Shen Jiayao babbled and demonstrated in a decent way. Aunt Shen and Grandma Shen didn't understand at first, but after watching his demonstration, they suddenly understood.

Most of Shen Chenyu's drawings were based on the crib in the space, and some other small details were added by himself.

The wife of the Shen family, Yun Xuanxuan, pulled her man, and then lowered her voice and said to the Shen family: "I didn't expect your cousin to be really capable. Fortunately, I didn't foolishly target him before. There is also this crib. It's so delicate and interesting, if we can sell it in the town, those rich people will definitely be very interested."

Yun Xuanxuan used to work as a maid in a wealthy family, so she knows a little bit about the wealthy family. When the Shen family was halfway making the crib, they actually had the same idea as Yun Xuanxuan. But he hasn't figured out how to tell his father. After all, Shen Chenyu gave the blueprint. If they want to use it, they need Shen Chenyu's consent.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, the Shen family found that although Shen Chenyu was always smiling and seemed to be easy-talking and gentle, in fact, Shen Chenyu was not easy to be fooled at all.

When he didn't offend Shen Chenyu, he was in a good mood and he didn't mind if others took advantage of him. But if someone accidentally offends him, Shen Chenyu will not only become very difficult to speak, maybe even laugh and dig a hole to bury others.

The second grandfather said that people like Shen Chenyu are called smiling tigers, and they are destined to go to court. In the future, whether their Shen family can get out of the small mountain village depends on the relationship between the Shen family and Shen Chenyu in the future.

The second great-grandfather also said that this kind of person would rather be held than offended. Even if someone in the Shen family doesn't like him, don't rush to find him unhappy.

Speaking of which, Shen Chenyu is not familiar with them, and there is no deep hatred between them. Even if the second grandpa didn't remind them like this, they would not have nothing to do with Shen Chenyu.

The Shen family looked at his radiant father, hesitated for a moment, then pulled his father aside, and told him about his idea of selling the crib in the town.

When Uncle Shen heard his son's words, his first reaction was that it was inappropriate. After all, this thing was Shen Chenyu's idea, how could they use Shen Chenyu's drawings to make money.

However, before Uncle Shen refused, the Shen family said in a hurry: "Father, let's sell Brother Yu's drawings as a crib. If you feel uncomfortable, we will give Brother Yu 30% of the money we earn." Doesn't Brother Yu want to study? He can just use the 30% to study, and when our family earns money, Brother Yu will also have money for studying. Isn't this a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?"

Although the Shen family's words are very It makes sense, but Uncle Shen was already guilty of Erfang, so he still subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate. But looking at the delicate and beautiful crib, as a carpenter who has worked half his life, he is not willing to let this thing be buried casually.

"I don't think this is a good thing, or...we'd better wait for Brother Yu to come over, and we'll discuss it with him."

Who in the Shen family heard the words and wanted to speak to persuade his father, but then heard a familiar voice. "You don't need to discuss it with me, I was thinking about it before."

Shen Chenyu came to move the crib, and just overheard the conversation between Uncle Shen and the Shen family. As he lifted his feet and walked towards the yard, he said with a smile on his face, "I drew the blueprints before, because I wanted to make a fortune with my uncle." When the

Shen family heard Shen Chenyu's words, a pair of eyes flashed After a flash of light, he said that he saw Shen Chenyu right. This guy is really not a mediocre person, and he actually agrees with his thoughts.

Afterwards, the Shen family, Uncle Shen, and Shen Chenyu went to the room to carefully discuss the matter of making money, while the rest of the Shen family gathered around and chatted.

Shen Jiayao looked at the closed door over there, and couldn't help but whisper to his sister-in-law. "Did you really sell this thing for a good price?"

Yun Xuanxuan was much more knowledgeable than Shen Jiayao, and upon hearing this, she told him about her previous work as a maid. The lady she served in the past was very fond of such interesting things.

At the beginning, every time she went out with the young lady, she would buy a lot of gadgets from various stalls, most of which were lovely wood carvings and small flower baskets. The peddlers saw that the lady was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and they could sell very high prices for every little thing.

Yun Xuanxuan had never seen such a crib before. If those wealthy families had children, they would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy a crib. Some young couples who are not short of money will definitely be willing to buy one for their future children if they see such a practical and interesting cot.

While the two were muttering and chatting, the three people in the room had almost reached an agreement. According to Uncle Shen's intention, Shen Chenyu was given 40% of the share, but Shen Chenyu only wanted 20% of the share in the end.

Shen Chenyu only gave a blueprint for the whole process, and the rest of the wood, handicrafts, sales, etc. had to be contributed by Dafang.

What's more, this thing is sold in style, and it can be sold at a good price because of its novelty in the beginning. After other carpenters have studied the way, it will be difficult to continue to make money from cribs.

Shen Chenyu told them the pros and cons of it. Uncle Shen has been a carpenter for more than ten years, and he is very clear about the reasons Shen Chenyu said.

Because the structure of the crib is relatively complicated, those people can't copy it immediately, but they will make it after a long time. They can make a lot of money from the crib for a while in the early stage. After others copy the crib, this thing will not be very valuable.

Although he couldn't rely on this to make money all the time, it made the Shen family feel a little disappointed. But for these mud-legged people, earning a fortune is also a lot of money. Their Shen family might be able to rely on this and become the first landlord in Xiling Village overnight.

Shen Chenyu didn't tell them that she still had a lot of drawings in her hand. He wanted to see if the big house would keep his promise to give him 20% of the money after he made money, and he also had to see how the big house treated the second roomer.

If the two sides can always support each other, Shen Chenyu is willing to let Dafang become rich first. Because only one of the Shen family gets rich first, the other clansmen can get rich one by one.

When the Shen family in Xiling Village gets up, they won't be a drag on Shen Chenyu's way forward. Maybe he can help him deal with the Shen family in Qingcheng County, and it will save Shen Chenyu a lot of trouble.

In the days that followed, everyone in the big room was very busy, even the delicate Shen Jiayao also helped out. Because it is not sure whether it can be sold for a good price, the eldest son of the Shen family has never dared to mention the crib to the outside world. Even after Shen Chenyu's crib was moved back, he did not move it out to show off in front of people.

Shen Liu felt that Shen Chenyu's brain was really easy to use, and he came up with such a good thing after just tinkering around. Because of the crib, Shen Liushi and Xiaoroubao have slept well these few nights.

Shen Liushi doesn't have to worry about being crushed on Xiaoroubao at night, and Xiaoroubao won't fall off when lying on a crib with guardrails. She can occasionally push the crib to the window, let Xiao Roubao lie on the bed and bask in the sun and look at the scenery outside the window. If it wasn't for Shen Chenyu not letting her push it out, Shen Liushi probably would have pushed the crib out long ago.

In the past few days, in addition to reading and practicing calligraphy every day, Shen Chenyu also went to the mountains to hunt and exercise. Occasionally, when he is free, he will go to the big room to see the results of the crib.

When the first batch of cribs came out, Shen Chenyu accompanied the people in the big room to the town. Although the people in the town are richer than Xiling Village, they are far less rich than the people in Qingcheng County.

So when I went to the town for the first time, the price was high because of the complicated workmanship of the crib. The Shen family had worn out their lips and only sold two cribs a day.

This was a bit far from what they had expected, and Shen Jiayao, who was young and ignorant, was a little impatient. He either complained that the Shen family's price was too expensive, or that what Shen Chenyu said before was bragging.

Shen Chenyu didn't talk to his little brother, but after discussing with the Shen family, she planned to take the remaining cribs to the county seat.

Although they only sold two cribs, but because of the high price of cribs. The money sold for these two cribs has already earned back the wood for the twelve beds.

So the Shen family wasn't in a hurry, it was just the selling price in the town, and the situation would definitely be very different in Qingcheng County.

Regarding the fact that the two wanted to go to Qingcheng County, except for Uncle Shen, everyone in the Shen family felt that they were messing around. Qingcheng County is so far away from them, and the travel expenses for a round trip are only tens of pennies, not to mention that it is the time of spring and spring plowing.

The one who reacted the most was Shen Jiayao. He felt that it would be better to sell it to the people in the town at a lower price. Anyway, selling it at a lower price would make them a profit. Why take the risk to go to such a far place in Qingcheng County, what if you not only fail to sell, but also meet someone who robs you?

They clearly remembered that when the Shen family went to Qingcheng County last time, their legs were almost broken by the Shen family from Qingcheng County. Those rich and noble families were not only not easy to mess with, but also had many rules. Shen Jiayao was very worried that something would happen to his brother when he went to Qingcheng County.

Compared to the thoughtful Shen Jiayao, Shen Jiayao was very calm about it. Before that, he ran to the door of Shen's house in Qingcheng County, but now they are only going to sell things in Qingcheng County, as long as Qingcheng County is so big, as long as they don't take the initiative to go over, how could they be so unlucky to meet that family.

After the two made up their minds, they dragged Uncle Shen to Qingcheng County regardless of what other people thought.

The three of them left for seven or eight days, and everyone in the Shen family was worried. Several times, Aunt Shen couldn't help it, and wanted to go to the second room of Shen's family to meet Shen Liu's important person.

Fortunately, Yun Xuanxuan was clear-headed, she kept a close eye on Aunt Shen and Shen Jiayao, so they didn't let the two worthless people make trouble.

When the three of them came back, as soon as Yun Xuanxuan saw the spirited look of the Shen family, she knew that they must have made a lot of money this time.

After the three of them arrived in Qingcheng County, Shen Chenyu led them to West Street in Qingcheng County because of the memory of the original owner.

All the people living on West Street are rich and noble families. These people are willing to give up dozens of taels of silver for a meal, and they are even more willing to give up things for their children.

They sold out the cots in one afternoon, and the reason they stayed in Qingcheng County for a few more days was because someone had booked a cot with them.

Ten cribs, each with ten taels of silver, a total of one hundred taels of silver. Because the first two were sold cheaply, which just offset the cost of the wood, they were not included in the calculation.

The remaining twenty taels of silver were deposits paid to them by several families. The deposit is only two taels of silver, which is small money for these people. In addition, knowing that they are indeed craftsmen, and they will often go to Qingcheng County to sell things in the future, they don't worry about a few people taking their money and running away.

When Shen Jiayao heard that a small bed of them was sold for such a sky-high price of ten taels of silver, she felt that these people were not ordinary black people. Looking at the white silver, he felt that it was sold too cheaply in the town before. It's okay for Shen Jiayao not to think about it, the more he thinks about it, the more uncomfortable he feels, it feels like he missed a hundred million.

The Shen family said a little excitedly: "These people are really rich and powerful. One of them has only one child, but they bought three small beds at one go. They said that our small beds are practical and interesting, and they can give some of them as gifts." Relatives and friends who have children at home, this gift will not lose face."

Uncle Shen also said: "When we came back, I kept the money with me all the time. I was worried all the way, for fear that it would be stolen accidentally. The key point is that these two brats don't worry about it at all. He fell asleep on the door of the bullock cart."

Uncle Shen remembered the matter of the money when he said this. They earned one hundred and twenty taels this time, and Shen Chenyu could get twenty-four taels of silver.

Aunt Shen looked at the silver in Shen Chenyu's arms, and just like Shen Jiayao couldn't help but feel pain for a while. But no matter how painful their hearts are, what they have to admit is that without Shen Chenyu, they would not be able to earn so much money in such a short time.

Aunt Shen looked at the white silver on the table, and couldn't help sighing softly. "Why does it feel like a dream? It's only been a few days. The money I earned this time could not have been earned for several years before." The

grandmother of the Shen family glanced at the hopeless daughter-in-law, and then smiled. Hehe looked at Shen Chenyu and said: "Brother Yu, you have worked hard during this time, call everyone in your family over tonight, our family should have a meal together."

Shen Chenyu nodded when he heard the words Nodding, it seems that his recent hard work has not been in vain. The old man is planning to reconcile with his second daughter-in-law for his sake.

Regardless of the troublesome relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as the saying goes, a good family and everything will prosper. If the whole family puts all their strength into one place, no matter how hard it is, they can live a very nourishing life.

The Shen family was stimulated by the one hundred taels of silver, and they wanted to increase production and continue to sell to Qingcheng County, but Shen Chenyu poured cold water on them.

Although there are many wealthy families in Qingcheng County, how many newborns can they have in a year? Their cribs are only suitable for children under the age of two, older children are not suitable for sleeping in them. If they make too many cribs in one go, a small Qingcheng can't digest them at all.

What's more, these cribs are all handmade, which is completely different from the mass production of machines in later generations. When they make cribs one by one, it is estimated that replicas will come out at that time. It's better to take advantage of the fact that no one can do it now, and do more quickly to earn a quick sum of money first.

When imitations appeared on the market, Shen Chenyu would give them another blueprint. They have been walking in front of everyone, and when they have accumulated a lot of capital in their hands, they can expand their production and send it to other places.

As for why not send it now, apart from the inconvenient transportation, the main reason is that there are many robbers. If you put your life into it for making money, no matter how much money you make, you won't have that life to enjoy.

When they have enough capital, they can hire labor or bodyguards to deliver them, and then think about expanding production.

...

Shen Chenyu didn't stay in the big room for long. He hasn't come back for several days, and he doesn't know what's going on at home.

He walked home with the money in a good mood, and met many villagers along the way. In the past, when everyone saw Shen Chenyu, they would greet him very warmly. But the attitude of the villagers today is a bit strange, and some people look at him with a guilty conscience.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu was very suspicious, wondering if someone took the opportunity to go to his house to make trouble when he was not around?

If someone really went to his house to cause trouble, with the current relationship between the eldest and second wife of the Shen family, Aunt Shen would definitely tell him when she saw him.

Even if this uncle doesn't like him very much, and even has some discord with Shen Liushi, she will not really watch the second room being bullied.

Just when Shen Chenyu was about to get home, an aunt suddenly called out to stop him. "Brother Yu, don't go back yet. Your mother and husband are both at Widow Zhang's house. You should hurry over and have a look, and don't let them be bullied by that little widow."

Shen Chenyu thanked her when she heard the words, and then Lifting his feet, he quickly ran towards Widow Zhang's house. Shen Chenyu, a widow, had seen this picture once before, and because the other party was a woman with a child, he wanted Shen Liu to help her more.

Now it seems that the other party is not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise, with Shen Liu's kind and cowardly character, and Mu Linting's uneasy situation of leaving the door, how did this widow have conflicts with these two people? Shen Chenyu was very sure in her heart that it was definitely Widow Zhang who provoked the two of them, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.

This incident happened not long ago, it just happened when Shen Chenyu's family was in the big house, so the Shen family's big house didn't know the situation.

Before Shen Chenyu arrived at Widow Zhang's house, she saw a lot of people around the door of Widow Zhang's house from a distance. Taking advantage of no one around to notice him, he put the money in his arms into the space, and then hurried over there quickly.

Just as Shen Chenyu arrived at Widow Zhang's house, Shen Jiayu and others rushed over after hearing the news. Both sides have just arrived here, so they don't know what's going on. Shen Chenyu and the Shen family looked at each other, and then they squeezed into the crowd together.

Shen Jiayao is a little brother, so it's not easy to follow them into the crowd, so he can only look inside with curiosity and anxiety.

Shen Jiayao didn't like the weak second aunt, but she was a little worried about the child in the second room. Probably because they are brothers, Shen Jiayao has an inexplicable affection for that child.

So when he heard about the accident in the second bedroom, he followed him in a panic, just worried that something might happen to the child.

As soon as the two of them squeezed in one after the other, they saw a young woman with pear blossoms in tears, who was crying and complaining: "It's true that my child is ignorant of this matter, and I took the child there just now I apologize, but you can't push yourself just because I don't have a man in my family."

"Aunt Caixiang and we are both widows. You should understand how hard it is for a woman to take care of children. I get up early and work in the fields every day, so it is inevitable that I have lost some discipline on my children. This is indeed my fault. I I apologize to you here, you just look at our orphans and widows, so let's forget about it."

This young woman is Widow Zhang, who is only twenty-two years old this year, and she is a woman who is as delicate as a flower. age. In fact, her appearance is not outstanding, but because of her exquisite figure, and the type of little bird that men like most, she is very popular with young men in the village.

But because of the simplicity of the people in Xiling Village, no matter how handsome the little widow is, not many people will run to the little widow to provoke her because she doesn't have a man in her family. Therefore, Widow Zhang's house is considered clean, and her reputation in Xiling Village is not particularly bad.

Although Shen Chenyu didn't know what happened, but when she heard the other party's tone, she knew that this widow Zhang was a bit difficult.

Because before Shen Liushi and Mu Linting opened their mouths, many people stood by Widow Zhang's side. Especially for some young men who have not married a wife, when they saw Widow Zhang's pitiful face, they couldn't help but speak to Widow Zhang.

"I said, Aunt Caixiang, you used to be unreasonable and unforgiving, but now that your son is back, it's different. It's because of the pettiness between the children. Why are you holding on to a little wife like this?" What's more, isn't your child okay, why are you so aggressive?"

"Yes, yes, it is not easy for Zhang's daughter-in-law to take care of the child alone. Since she has already brought the child to apologize, your family Don't hold on to them. After all, everyone is from the countryside, so you have to forgive and forgive others."

Shen Liu's eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she didn't care about it before because she didn't care about her own losses. But the situation is different now. The one who suffers now is her little grandson who is on top of her heart. If she softens her attitude at this time, others will see that her grandson is easy to bully, and they will not try hard to bully her grandson in the future.

There is a bottom line in being a human being. Some things can be tolerated, but some things are absolutely not. Don't let some people know that they are easy to bully, let alone lose Shen Chenyu's face because of this.

Shen Chenyu is a scholar, and scholars are most concerned about face and integrity. She couldn't break Shen Chenyu's pride just because she didn't show up.

Hearing the echoes from the people around him, Mu Linting, who hadn't reacted all this time, suddenly laughed and said, "If that's called an apology, then I'll beat her up now and imitate her appearance. A fake apology."

When Widow Zhang went to make an apology, not many people knew the situation at that time, and everything was said by Widow Zhang. At this time, when everyone heard Mu Linting's words, they immediately understood that things might not be that simple.

So some rational people stopped talking after hearing Mu Linting's words. There are only a few men who have a good relationship with Widow Zhang and those who have mischief towards Widow Zhang continue to stand firmly on Widow Zhang's side.

Seeing Widow Zhang winking at him, a young man jumped out and stood in front of Mu Linting. He originally looked down on Mu Linting very much, thinking that his elder brother didn't take good care of the children at home, so he was not only good at archery but also martial arts like a man.

I don't know what brother Shen Jiayu thinks, to marry such a fierce and ugly brother. At this time, when he heard that the other party wanted to touch his woman, the young man immediately said to Mu Linting with enthusiasm: "Anyway, you are such a big brother, it is not easy to fight with other women. Even if you are a brother, If you really do something to her, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Mu Linting raised his hand when he heard this, with a look on his face that he really planned to compete with the other party, and he was not afraid at all because he was a man.

Just when the young man was stimulated by him and was about to strike with his fist regardless, Shen Chenyu suddenly couldn't help but sneered.

"Hehe, it's really interesting."

Because of Shen Chenyu's sudden arrival, the young man who made the move froze immediately. Although he looked down on Mu Linting, he was a little afraid of Shen Chenyu.

It is obvious that Mu Linting is more fierce than Shen Chenyu, but Shen Chenyu's body is so evil, which makes him feel very difficult to provoke.

In addition, after Shen Chenyu came to Xiling Village, the changes that took place in the Shen family during this period of time, and the sudden start of business by the eldest family of the Shen family, it is undoubtedly Shen Chenyu who is behind the scenes.

The other party didn't want to provoke Shen Chenyu very much, and always felt that Shen Chenyu was a bottomless person. So after seeing Shen Chenyu, he immediately regained consciousness and withdrew his hand.

Seeing that he had stopped, Shen Chenyu didn't intend to let the other party go, but smiled and said to the people in Xilin Village: "What happened, why did you suddenly want to attack my husband?"

Before Everyone didn't notice Shen Chenyu, and when they saw Shen Chenyu coming back, their expressions became weird. Especially the person who was helping Widow Zhang to speak just now, seeing Shen Chenyu still looking at them with a smile on his face, felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

As soon as Shen Liushi saw Shen Chenyu coming back, she relaxed her straightened waist all the time. She hurriedly walked over with the little meat bag in her arms, and before she could speak Shen Chenyu saw that the little meat bag was injured.

The little meat bun is like heavy jade, and the skin is very white and tender. At this moment, a bloodstain on the cheek looked particularly frightening.

The little guy was tired from crying before, and was trying to sleep in a daze. At this time, he should have sensed his own father, Xiao Roubao groaned and groaned, his little face wrinkled into a white bun.

Although Shen Chenyu is an unreliable father, Xiao Roubao hasn't suffered much since Shen Chenyu came here. Shen Chenyu has always treated him as a treasure, and over time she really regarded him as her own child.

At this time, when she saw the appearance of Xiao Roubao, Shen Chenyu, who had never been angry since time travel, showed an angry look for the first time on her pretty face. While hugging Xiao Roubao, he asked angrily with a smile: "Who made this?"

It was the first time for Shen Liushi to see Shen Chenyu get angry. Seeing the flash of hostility in Shen Chenyu's eyes, Shen Liushi immediately forgot what she had said. Speaking of which, she was also responsible for Xiaoroubao's injury. If she hadn't been so focused on talking to Widow Zhang, she wouldn't have let Widow Zhang's son hurt Xiaoroubao.

Today's specific situation is like this, because the family lacks a major labor force, Shen Liushi and Mu Linting are doing housework together these few days. Mu Linting's eyes couldn't see anything, and he was very powerless to do many things. At this time, Shen Liushi needed to do it himself.

Today when Shen Liu came back from washing, she pushed the little meat bun to the yard to play. While making new clothes for Xiaoroubao, she took care of the children from time to time. However, at this time, Widow Zhang came to the door with her children.

Because the location of the second room of the Shen family is relatively remote, few people in the village come to the door on their own initiative. Widow Zhang had never been in contact with the Shen family, so it was a bit strange to come to her suddenly at this time. Although Shen Liushi felt strange in her heart, seeing Widow Zhang's clever smile, it was not easy to keep her away.

Widow Zhang's son is seven years old this year. He is a fat boy with a simple and honest appearance. It stands to reason that there is no headed man in their family, and the life of orphans and widows should be very hard. But both mother and son are a little fat, and there is no sign of being tortured by life at all.

The reason why Widow Zhang came here this time is to ask Mrs. Shen Liu how to make pickles. Mrs. Shen Liu has a very good skill in pickling vegetables. No one in Xiling Village is as delicious as her pickles.

While telling Widow Zhang how to make pickled vegetables, Shen Liushi couldn't help wondering why Widow Zhang came here. If Widow Zhang really came to learn how to make pickled vegetables, Widow Zhang has been married to Xiling Village for almost ten years. If she wanted to learn the skill of pickled vegetables, she probably learned it long ago.

Then Shen Liushi waited in her heart, and after waiting for a long time, Widow Zhang casually mentioned Shen Chenyu. Although the other party only mentioned Shen Chenyu from the beginning to the end, the delicate Shen Liushi still noticed something was wrong.

It was because of her distraction that she heard Xiao Roubao's moaning and crying. When Shen Liushi turned around and looked over, she found that Widow Zhang's son was lying on the side of the crib, poking Xiaoroubao's face with a twig. At

that moment, Shen Liushi almost went crazy. The children are so obedient and obedient, they won't cry until they can't play. Little Roubao must have suffered so much to cry out like this. Before Shen Liu could rush over angrily, a figure rushed over ahead of her, and then unceremoniously pushed the little boy away.

The little boy was pushed and fell down. Before Widow Zhang could help him up with distress, the little boy got up cursing, and then punched and kicked the person who appeared out of nowhere.

How could Mu Linting have time to take care of him at that time, he anxiously stretched out his hand to touch the little meat bun, but he didn't know where the little meat bun was injured. That was the first time Mu Linting hated himself for being blind, and he couldn't even see where his child was injured.

Then, the boy saw Mu Linting's face clearly, and was frightened by the hideous scar on Mu Linting's face, so he turned around and ran away crying. Those who don't know probably thought it was the second wife of the Shen family who bullied him, but in fact he hurt someone first and scolded him, but he ran away without a word of apology.

As for Widow Zhang's apology at home, it was only her own apology. Her family's precious son probably doesn't know that he has caused a catastrophe by now, and even secretly hates Mu Linting in his heart.

That's why, the honest Shen Liu would come to her door angrily. If Widow Zhang hadn't been so bullying, Shen Liu would never have come to the door with her temper.

...

Ever since Widow Zhang saw Shen Chenyu, she couldn't help feeling a little up and down in her heart. But she thought that Shen Chenyu was a scholar after all, and she was a woman, so it would be difficult for him to do anything to her, so Widow Zhang mustered up a little courage.

She glanced at Shen Chenyu cautiously, her eyes filled with tears that were about to fall, and then she said in a jiffy, "This matter... this matter is indeed our fault, but... we have already said too modestly..."

Shen Chenyu didn't like her, and interrupted her impatiently when she heard the words. "If an apology is useful, what do the government need to do? Not all faults, just a simple apology is enough. Just like those who accidentally kill people, they have to bear the responsibility for doing something wrong."

Widow Zhang heard Yan's face turned pale, and he didn't know if he was really scared or just pretending. She looked at Shen Chenyu in a daze, looking miserable and helpless.

When someone saw Widow Zhang crying again, they couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Hearing that Shen Chenyu was so unreasonable at this time, he immediately squeezed out of the crowd with a look of despair.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it just a fight between children? Why did it involve murder?"

Shen Chenyu patted the child in her arms gently, and asked the man back: "The fight between children Fighting? A child who is more than seven years old, playing with a baby who is still lying in the swaddle? "

The man who spoke was choked by him, he glanced at the child in Shen Chenyu's arms, and stretched out his hand to scratch it irritably. scratched his head.

Shen Chenyu's child is indeed cute, more likable than many children in their village, especially those big black grape-like eyes.

However, although he thought the child was cute, he still felt that the crying Widow Zhang was more pitiful, so he said angrily, "Isn't it just a small scratch, is it possible that you still want to scratch it back? She is still a seven-year-old girl." You are a 10 -year-old child, you shouldn't be so fussy as an adult."

Others saw Widow Zhang crying miserably, with a face that was about to be exhausted, and the man who wanted to fight Mu Linting before couldn't help it again. Blocked in front of Widow Zhang.

"That's right, we didn't say that if you make a mistake, you won't be punished. After the big deal, let Widow Zhang teach her son a lesson. What's more, which little boy is not careless? Our farm children don't like such delicate things. It's the same as Jiaojiao'er from a big family."

"I know that your status was different before, but no matter how good you were in the past, you are not like us now. We have mud legs. We have mud legs. We don't have as many rules as those big families here. , let alone allow you, a big man, to bully a widow."

Shen Chenyu was not angry when she heard the words, but turned her eyes to look at the other party lightly. It seems that no matter how good the folk customs are, there are always a few people who look like rat shit.

"What this brother said is really reasonable. I can't let me, a big man, bully a widow. But you just wanted to fight with my husband. I don't know why a person who can do anything to my brother-in-law. You have the courage to say such a thing." The

other party obviously remembered this, and suddenly blushed and looked at Mu Linting, who pointed at Mu Linting with a dying face.

"He...he looks like a brother in some way, not only looks... more fierce than men."

Although his words were stumbled, everyone understood the meaning of his words. Especially the fleeting disgust in his eyes broke Shen Chenyu's last rationality at once.

Shen Chenyu said coolly: "No matter what he is, he is still my brother and my husband. What kind of dog do you look like? Where do you have the right to judge him?

" So angry that she opened her mouth to refute, Shen Chenyu took a special look at Widow Zhang, and then continued to be aggressive: "However, my family Fu Lang is indeed not as good-looking as Widow Zhang, otherwise why is it obvious that our family has the right, but you don't care about it?" Indiscriminately favoring Widow Zhang?" The

man was about to go crazy with anger, but he didn't dare to do anything to Shen Chenyu, he said angrily: "I... I'm not because of their looks at all, I..."

Shen Chenyu gently The eyebrows are raised, and the picturesque eyebrows and eyes are slightly curved, like spring peaches in full bloom in early spring. "What's that for?" The

man was an ordinary farmer, he was firmly caught by Shen Chenyu's words, and his mood was irritable and flustered.

At this moment, he heard Shen Chenyu's pressing question, what was that for? Is it for Widow Zhang's good looks, or to suppress Shen Chenyu's family?

No matter what reason he gave, or even what he said, his intentions would be guessed as long as he had anything to do with the widow.

What's more, Shen Chenyu is so eloquent, and he deliberately leads his words away. Men are not Shen Chenyu's opponent at all.

Originally, Shen Chenyu didn't want to treat a miserable woman like this. After all, this era is too harsh on women and brothers. As the biggest beneficiary of this era, he should not rely on his own advantages to bully a woman.

But this widow Zhang, she has been a weak person from beginning to end, hiding behind other people as a profiteer, and even wants Shen Chenyu's family to suffer this dark loss.

Shen Chenyu hates this kind of person the most, especially when he is arguing with other people, Widow Zhang looks like she stays out of it. Although she looks very pitiful now, Shen Chenyu didn't see a trace of remorse in her, and she was even bored when she looked at the little meat bun.

And the kid who got into trouble, after he hurt Xiao Roubao, he stayed at home and didn't show up. Seeing that there has been a stalemate outside, the other party is probably secretly having fun at home alone. Since the other party is so aggressive, don't blame him for being rude.

At this time, the Shen family member opened his mouth very cleverly and asked: "Yeah, why? Chen Azhuan, why don't you talk? I'm quite curious. After all, you have no grudges or grudges with Brother Yu. Why are you so angry?" Protect the little widow?"

When Shen Jiayu said this, he deliberately emphasized the word "little widow". Originally, because of Shen Chenyu's meaning, everyone had some ideas about the relationship between these two people. At this time, seeing Chen Azhuan keeping his neck stuck and not saying a word, a young man who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic also followed booing.

"Yes, yes, it was the widow's son who hurt someone first, and Brother Yu didn't say what to do with them. You actually want to fight with a husband for the sake of the other party. Tell me, are you still a man?" ?"

Widow Zhang, who was still cowering at first, understood what Shen Chenyu meant when she heard the words. She stared at Shen Chenyu with a pale face. This person actually wanted to destroy her completely because of a little thing about the child.

Although the folk customs in this dynasty are relatively open, and women have always been encouraged to remarry with elder brothers, the requirements before marriage are still very strict. Especially for a person with a sensitive identity like Widow Zhang, if she entangles with a man without a matchmaker, she will be punished.

Widow Zhang knew that if this matter got serious, it would definitely not be Shen Chenyu's family that would be unlucky in the end, but her helpless widow. She can't let these people continue talking, she must solve this matter quickly.

When Widow Zhang was thinking like this, she wanted to bring her son out of the room, but when she turned back to the room, the boy who had spoken before continued to speak.

"Hey? Why did Widow Zhang run away? Isn't it because of a guilty conscience?" The

young man has no grudge against Widow Zhang, but he hates men who fight with his brother very much. Because the boy's father was also a brother, he was beaten to death by his father when he was very young, so he especially looked down on the man who fought with his brother.

Although Mu Linting is a bit fierce, no matter how fierce he is, he is still a brother. Chen Azhuang kept saying that Shen Chenyu was a man, and he couldn't bully Widow Zhang, a woman, but he waved his fist at Mu Linting, who was a brother, and he didn't know where he came from.

In addition, this widow's demeanor is also unpleasant. She used to use her weakness as an excuse to force other people in the village not to care about her. People like Widow Zhang are the so-called "I am weak and I am justified, and even if I am weak, I am wrong, you can't get it back".

Some people who didn't like Widow Zhang at first began to question her one by one. They thought this widow Zhang was annoying before, and every day they relied on being a widow to ask the villagers to help.

Especially with some young men, Widow Zhang is really close to them. Even if she really didn't have anything to do with those men, but she was sticky with some men every day, which still made many girls and brothers in the village disagree.

Amidst the accusations of a group of people, Chen Azhuan's face turned pale, and he raised his hand and waved at Shen Chenyu angrily. Others said that he and his brother were not men, so this time he took aim at Shen Chenyu's move.

However, although Shen Chenyu is a man, Shen Chenyu is still holding the child. He moved his hands without warning, what if he accidentally hurt the child?

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu took a step back subconsciously while protecting the child carefully. Seeing that his fist was about to hit Shen Chenyu, Mu Linting kicked Chen Azhuang at the side.

This scene made the people around very angry. In the eyes of farmers, fighting between adults is nothing, but it should not endanger innocent children.

Chen Azhuan's behavior similar to a sneak attack made many villagers around him very shameless. Seeing that he still wanted to make a move, several young men immediately stepped forward and pushed Chen Azhang to the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu glanced at Chen Azhuang, if he hadn't wanted to protect the little meat bun in his arms, he could have dealt with Chen Azhuang without Mu Linting's action.

Mu Linting couldn't see Shen Chenyu's condition, so he reached out and touched Shen Chenyu's arm subconsciously. Shen Chenyu noticed Mu Linting's small movements, and couldn't help feeling a burst of warmth in her heart.

At the same time, Widow Zhang dragged a child out. The child seemed reluctant. After being pinched twice by Widow Zhang secretly, the child walked up to everyone with red eyes.

At this time, Widow Zhang finally knew how to be afraid, and she had specially confessed to her child. Although the child's eyes were full of resentment, she still apologized to Shen Chenyu in front of everyone.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have bullied my little brother. I just wanted to play with him. I never thought of hurting him.

" his. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, but it was very similar to his mother's affectation.

Widow Zhang looked at Shen Chenyu apologetically and said: "I'm really sorry this time, it's because I didn't teach the child well, and I will definitely teach him well in the future."

Widow Zhang probably knew that crying was useless, so this time the apology was straightforward, and she was more sensible than crying before. Seeing that Shen Chenyu just looked at her and didn't speak, she raised her hand and slapped her child twice, and immediately slapped the child until he screamed.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu knew that this was another bitter trick. Seeing the child crying heart-piercingly, the attitudes of the people around him became one-sided. People are so fickle, especially when faced with a child's tears, most simple people are always very tolerant.

Shen Chenyu knows that she can't continue to be aggressive, because everyone has vented her anger for them. If they continue to be unreasonable, even if they are reasonable, they will become unreasonable.

Although Shen Chenyu's heart is still not relieved, but on the surface he still accepts as soon as he sees it. He changed his previous aggressive demeanor and returned to his gentle and gentle demeanor.

"It's not the son's fault to teach the father. This child has no father. As a mother, you can't be negligent. Especially for children, if you don't educate them well when you are young, you will have trouble when you grow up."

Shen Chenyu who said this, He glanced at Widow Zhang lightly. There was a strong warning in this look, and then he left first with the little meat bun in his arms.

Widow Zhang looked at the back of Shen Chenyu leaving, as if she had just regained her strength for a long time, she smiled apologetically at the people around her, and then dragged her child back.

As for Chen Azhuan who spoke for her, no matter whether there is a relationship between the two of them, it is not convenient for her to plead for each other now.

...

This incident seems to have ended with Shen Chenyu's generosity, but before Shen Chenyu and the Shen family had many intentions, and after that, he took the child to the town to find a doctor, all of which made Widow Zhang's reputation suddenly Hit rock bottom in Xiling Village.

Some families with children in the village do not let their children play with Widow Zhang's children. In case the child of Widow Zhang accidentally hurt her, Widow Zhang would also cry and make trouble like this. Poor people like them have no money to see a doctor for their children.

The injury on Xiaoroubao's face was not serious. The reason why Shen Chenyu took Xiaoroubao to the town was not only to dig a hole for Widow Zhang, but also to check his body.

Xiaoroubao was born prematurely before, and was almost frozen to death later. Although she was later rescued by Shen Chenyu, Shen Chenyu was still a little worried.

I didn't go to see the doctor before, firstly, there was nothing wrong with Xiaoroubao, and secondly, they didn't have much money at that time. Now that Shen Chenyu has money in his hands, the first thing to do is to take the child to see a doctor, and at the same time bring Mu Linting and Shen Liushi along.

One of these two people was seriously injured and the other was seriously ill before, so let the doctor look at their physical condition together, and it is best to prescribe some decoction for recuperating the body.

Then Shen Chenyu discovered that the little meat bun that worried him the most was actually in the best health. Both Mu Linting and Shen Liushi had many minor problems. These small problems will not kill people for a while, but if they are left there for a long time, they will become serious diseases.

Among the medicines given to Mu Linting and Shen Liushi, the most expensive medicine is Ganoderma lucidum, which Shen Yu can't afford now. Even if Shen Chenyu can afford Ganoderma lucidum, there is no such small medical center in their town.

So I can only prescribe some ordinary medicines, and temporarily nourish the damaged bodies of the two of them slowly, and then buy better medicines when Shen Chenyu has money in the future.

Because he couldn't buy Ganoderma lucidum to replenish his body, Shen Chenyu felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart. He could no longer make money bit by bit like this, and had to find a way to earn more money quickly.

So this time when he came back from the town, Shen Chenyu discussed the business with the Shen family the next day, and he went up the mountain again with a bow and arrow on his back and a basket on his back.

Today's weather has turned warmer, and everything in the mountains has recovered, and there are vibrant scenes everywhere. The air here is particularly good, and there is a faint smell of grass between breaths.

Shen Chenyu wants to hunt some prey in exchange for money. Although the money for hunting in this way is not much, but being able to hunt and make money while exercising his body can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone for Shen Chenyu.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to hit a big guy, not only can you gain fame for Shen Chenyu, but you can also sell the prey for a small profit.

This time Shen Chenyu went up the mountain and planned to stay until the afternoon before going back, so she brought lunch when she came.

Shen Chenyu only caught two rabbits all morning, but she dug up a lot of wild vegetables and herbs. Although he couldn't tell the difference between many of these herbs, he still understood some of them when he read books.

Shen Chenyu picked all the familiar ones, and asked Shen Liu to sort them out after he went down the mountain. Maybe there are valuable herbs in it.

With such a good mood, Shen Chenyu wandered around the mountains for a while, then found an open space to rest and eat.

Because she was worried that she would get lost if she walked too far, Shen Chenyu would make marks in unfamiliar places, so that even if she got lost, she could go down the mountain.

Just when Shen Chenyu sat down to rest, he met that crazy boy on the mountain again. The mad boy seemed to have been seriously injured. At this time, he was carefully huddled on a tree, and he looked as if he was going to faint in the next moment.

Shen Chenyu swallowed the vegetable dumpling in her mouth, and walked towards the tree where the crazy boy was. When he saw the injury on the crazy boy's leg, he couldn't help frowning and stretched out his hand towards the crazy boy.

Because he saw that the other party's legs were dripping with blood, and some parts of the wound had begun to rot and pus. If this continued, the crazy boy would die of wound infection.

Even if the child died in the mountains like this, no one would probably find out. Even though he had fought those bandits without hesitation not long ago in order to protect the village, but because he was a little lunatic, few people would care about his situation.

The main reason why Shen Chenyu cared about crazy kids was because of Mu Linting. He always felt that such a crazy boy was actually the same as Mu Linting before. No matter how unbearable this country is, even if there is no one in his hometown, he will still do his last bit of strength and shed the last drop of blood for this territory...

Everyone in Xiling Village said that this child has been a lunatic since he was a child, and anyone who got close to him would be attacked by him. But if he was really a madman, why would he protect the village in a critical moment?

Shen Chenyu has seen real lunatics, they don't have the so-called protection in their brains, and they can't tell who is their own and who is a bandit. What's more, it is impossible for a lunatic to grow up so big by himself without anyone taking care of him. Probably either fell into the river and drowned, or encountered danger on the mountain and disappeared. It is impossible to live in peace and stability for so many years.

Shen Chenyu vaguely felt that this child was probably not a lunatic, he was just protecting himself in this way. As for why he wanted to protect himself, Shen Chenyu thought of Shen Liushi saying that he was an orphan, his mother was an unruly woman, and he himself was a little brother.

Under such circumstances, some people will not only look at him with colored glasses, but also feel that like a mother, like a son. Some hooligans with evil intentions would use his mother as an unfeminine woman as an excuse to try their best to touch his little brother.

In fact, Shen Chenyu guessed well, and even the facts were even worse than what he guessed. No matter how simple and honest the people of Xiling Village are, it is impossible for everyone to be kind. Just like most people in Qishan Village are powerful and treacherous, but there are also kind people like Aunt Yang and Yang Jiashuan.

There are also two unscrupulous hooligans in Xiling Village. The common characteristic of the two of them is that they have no family at the age of thirty or forty. Wandering among several villages every day, either playing cats and dogs or bullying other girls and brothers.

These two people have provoked crazy kids in the past. At that time, the crazy boy was very young, and he was almost succeeded by them several times.

One of the local ruffians was very bad-tempered. Seeing that the crazy boy had escaped several times, he wanted to break his legs before dragging him home. In the end, when he hit people, he was not serious or serious, causing the crazy kid to hit the ground with his head. Looking at the crazy boy lying lifeless in a pool of blood, the man turned and ran away in fear of getting killed.

It was also from that time that rumors began to circulate in the village that the crazy boy had gone crazy. No matter the person with malicious intentions or the person who took care of him, he will be attacked indiscriminately by the madman.

Over time, no one dared to provoke him, not even those two ruffians. It wasn't that the two of them suddenly realized their conscience, but that the crazy boy was very scary when he became crazy. The crazy boy would compete with the wild dogs in the village for food, and even killed a wolf with his hands and teeth.

Such a lunatic like a wild beast, although he successfully prevented the evil people from coming to his door, at the same time, he also turned away the good people.

...

Probably because he knew he was going to die, or because the process of waiting for death was too hopeless? The madman looked numbly at Shen Chenyu standing under the tree. The moment Shen Chenyu stretched out his hands towards him, for the first time...for the first time, all the pretense and strength faded away, and he wanted to trust him to find help from each other.

He doesn't know what he thinks, these years he has really lived too hard, and it is too lonely to persevere aimlessly. So lonely... He almost forgot how to speak, and even the feelings he should have as a person.

In fact, at this moment, even if the person who comes is not Shen Chenyu but someone else, as long as the other party can show a little kindness towards him when he is most vulnerable, the crazy boy will choose to trust the other party without hesitation.

It wasn't that he suddenly thought about it, but his instinct to survive when his life was dying. Even though he himself doesn't want to live, his body instinctively wants to live.

...

Shen Chenyu saw that the crazy boy was about to get down from the tree, and when the other party came down, he reached out to help him. What shocked Shen Chenyu was that the child looked tall but was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. He just stretched out his hand and gently dragged it, then hugged the frivolous lunatic down.

The other party did not grin at Shen Chenyu to express hostility as before, but instead leaned in his arms with a blank and dependent face. This made Shen Chenyu even more certain that the crazy kid was really pretending to be crazy and foolish every day to protect himself.

Although he didn't know what the crazy boy had encountered, but he could force a child to pretend to be crazy for so long, the previous experience of the crazy boy must be very unbearable.

Shen Chenyu only remembered at this time that although the crazy boy is still very young, the other party is a little brother. It's not good for him to hold each other all the time as a man, so Shen Chenyu let him sit on the tree, planning to look at the wound on the crazy boy's leg first.

After seeing the mad boy's injury clearly, Shen Chenyu didn't have time to worry about whether it was suitable or not, and she was about to reach out and hug the mad boy down the mountain. In the end, before he could pick him up, the lunatic who was already groggy completely passed out.

One of the lunatic's legs was dripping with blood, the wound spread from the knee to the ankle, and a piece of flesh was directly torn off the calf. Under such circumstances, even if he survived by chance, it will be very difficult for him to walk normally in the future.

Shen Chenyu felt that he was in big trouble, and wondered if the crazy boy could persist until he went down the mountain? If the crazy kid died on the way down the mountain, how would Shen Chenyu explain it to the people in Xiling Village?

If the crazy kid himself is gone, he will be gone, and the people in Xiling Village won't particularly mind. But if Shen Chenyu carried him down the mountain, and the crazy kid died suddenly on the way, Shen Chenyu would not be able to pass the test without explaining.

Shen Chenyu hesitated for a moment, thinking that Mu Linting was injured so badly before, was he rescued by his medicine? Immediately, he calmed down, and quickly took out a lot of things from the space.

These medicines and bandages were all prepared for Mu Linting before. Now Mu Linting's injury is almost healed, but it's cheaper for this crazy boy.

The medicines in Shen Chenyu's hands are all good things, which are quicker and more convenient than the wound medicines of this era. After he helped the mad boy to heal the injury on his leg, the mad boy's condition improved a lot after taking anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.

Afterwards, Shen Chenyu rummaged around in the basket, and found some hemostatic grass. Shen Chenyu didn't know the other herbs, but he knew a little about the hemostatic grass.

He smashed the hemostatic grass, and simply applied it to the crazy boy's wound. In this way, even if the lunatic is awake, he will only think that these herbs saved him, and will not find other clues because of this.

When it was getting dark, the mad boy woke up under the effect of the medicine. On the way, Shen Chenyu fed him medicine again, and seeing that the crazy boy didn't have a high fever, Shen Chenyu's mission was successfully completed.

Afterwards, he took the crazy boy down the mountain. After waking up, the crazy boy remained very quiet, like a dirty doll.

Shen Chenyu sent him back to his little hut, then put a few vegetable dumplings in the hut, and left quietly taking advantage of the night outside.

Shen Chenyu felt that as a stranger, it was his utmost benevolence to help the other party. As for how the crazy kid will live in the future, Shen Chenyu should not worry about the rest.

After another four or five days like this, Shen Chenyu didn't notice any changes in the crazy boy. Until the noon of the sixth day, Shen Chenyu saw the crazy boy again.

The other party and Shen Chenyu met face to face, and they pretended not to see each other very tacitly, as if the lunatic was still the same lunatic, and Shen Chenyu had never rescued each other on the mountain. This saves Shen Chenyu a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it can be regarded as keeping the madman's secret.

...

This morning, Shen Chenyu was called by the second grandpa, saying that he had found a very good wife for him. The second grandpa asked Erniu to take him to the town, and wanted Shen Chenyu to visit the master first.

In fact, it is said that he is going to visit the master, but it is better to say that the master wants to consider Shen Chenyu. After all, Shen Chenyu is not young anymore. Generally, the students who take part in the children's examination are relatively young, and there are very few people at Shen Chenyu's age who only apprenticed to teachers.

The other party wants to test Shen Chenyu's knowledge, the most important thing is to look at Shen Chenyu's character. Because the imperial examination guarantees each other and adopts the cheating and sitting system, if he recruits a student with bad conduct, it will not only hurt his reputation but also harm other students.

Shen Chenyu also understood this, so she went to the town without saying a word. This master's surname is Liu, and he is the only granary student in their town. The other party opened a private school in the town, and now there are more than twenty students.

If Mr. Liu hadn't had some friendship with the second great-grandfather, he really didn't want to recruit a student like Shen Chenyu. Because students like Shen Chenyu have a fixed character when they get older, they are not as easy to teach as ignorant children who start from scratch.

There are even some people who are more thoughtful, thinking that after studying for a few years, they will be a little smug. This kind of students are not only difficult to discipline, but also like to contradict their teachers.

However, what Liu Fuzi didn't expect was that after he saw Shen Chenyu himself, all the original worries disappeared.

Shen Chenyu not only has a good foundation in knowledge, but also has first-class appearance and character. Such a person is like a dragon and phoenix at first glance. If it wasn't for Shen Chenyu's family's sudden change, it wouldn't be the turn of Mrs. Liu, a young student, to teach her.

Shen Chenyu told Master Liu about her situation in detail. He didn't hide his intention to end next year, and at the same time, he also got a thorough understanding of his previous situation.

If Master Liu refused to accept Shen Chenyu as a student because he was afraid of the Shen family in Qingcheng County, Shen Chenyu would not blame the other party for his choice. Everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and he was not taught by Dr. Liu since he was a child, so he really shouldn't take risks for him.

To Shen Chenyu's surprise, after listening to his words, Dr. Liu immediately finalized the date of apprenticeship. The other party was not afraid of the Shen family in Qingcheng County at all, but said to Shen Chenyu with a positive face: "The old man doesn't have any great skills, it just depends on how good his eyesight is, you child will have great promise in the future. Today the old man is just I made it easy for you, if you can really rise to the top in the future, this old man will still be honored by you."

Shen Chenyu saluted immediately after hearing the words, although the other party really just reached out to help him, but this He will not forget his kindness easily.

After solving a major matter at once, Shen Chenyu sent a thank-you gift to the second great-grandfather when she returned home, and then began to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony.

It stands to reason that he and Master Liu are not real masters and apprentices, he just borrowed Master Liu's identity and student. But as the saying goes, it is not surprising that many people are polite, and Shen Chenyu feels that it is still necessary to have the proper etiquette.

While Shen Chenyu was busy preparing for the apprentice ceremony, Mu Linting was chopping firewood in the yard that evening, and vaguely felt a line of sight from outside the yard. Before Mu Linting put down the ax in his hand and went out, someone outside suddenly threw something at him, and then the little figure ran away with a limp.

Although Mu Linting couldn't see anything, but because he knew martial arts, he still found it with his ears. At first, Mu Linting thought it was the children in the village who were naughty, and then wrapped something in a rag and threw it in.

After he stretched out his hand to unwrap the wrapped rag, he touched the contents in his hand from memory, a trace of surprise flashed in his dull eyes.

Generally, a teacher must prepare a bundle of six rituals, which are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and meat strips. However, due to different time, space and regions, the rules of apprenticeship will be slightly changed according to the local area.

In places like Fengxue Town, Qingcheng County, Shu Xiu usually gave one tael of silver and a piece of meat. If people value etiquette more, they will also prepare things like celery.

Shen Chenyu prepared silver, a piece of meat, and a box of good tea. He deliberately inquired about Master Liu's preferences, so he replaced the celery with tea. Shen Chenyu prepared the things that should be prepared, and waited for the day chosen with Liu Fuzi, and came to visit the teacher with the gift he had prepared.

...

When Shen Chenyu came back from the outside, she found Mu Linting sitting in the yard waiting for him. At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and Mu Linting's figure was hidden in the darkness, and the whole person looked a little indescribably lonely.

Mu Linting was like this, he hid all his emotions deeply, and rarely showed such a lonely expression. Seeing this, Shen Chenyu was a little touched, thinking that he was too busy these days, and Mu Linting must be bored at home every day.

Shen Chenyu was thinking about walking towards Mu Linting, probably because he heard Shen Chenyu's footsteps, and soon he restrained his emotions and turned his eyes to "look" at Shen Chenyu.

"A child came before, and the other party threw this away and ran away. I wonder if it is a child you know?"

Shen Chenyu looked at Mu Linting's hands after hearing this, and then saw a palm-sized ginseng. Although Shen Chenyu doesn't know many herbs, ginseng is so easy to recognize, it's a little difficult for Shen Chenyu to recognize it.

"He gave this thing? Didn't he say anything to you?"

Mu Linting shook his head lightly, with no joy in his eyes. Even if he is holding a ginseng at this moment, there is not much emotion on his face.

Shen Chenyu's eyes flickered, and she quickly guessed who gave this thing. After he went back to the room with Mu Linting, he told Mu Linting about the crazy boy.

There is nothing to hide about this matter. He didn't say before that it wasn't because he didn't trust Mu Linting, but because he never found a chance to talk to Mu Linting. Now that Mu Linting knew about the ginseng, Shen Chenyu took this opportunity to explain it to him.

As for the crazy boy who has ginseng, Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting can vaguely guess why he didn't sell it in the town.

The reason why crazy kids pretend to be crazy is to protect themselves from being hurt by others. If his life suddenly improves, not only will he attract the attention of others, but he will also be peeped by some malicious people.

Although the mad boy has grown up a bit, in fact he is still a little brother. He also has a notorious mother who can only live if he is crazy.

He should have found this ginseng when he went up the mountain, because it was inconvenient for him to sell it for money. Now, in order to thank Shen Chenyu for saving his life, he sent the ginseng to Shen Chenyu's home.

Shen Chenyu didn't return the ginseng. In the case of the crazy kid, even if he had ginseng, there was no way to change his current life immediately. Second, Shen Chenyu not only took the risk to save the crazy child, but also spent a lot of energy and expensive materials.

After Shen Chenyu accepts the ginseng, the madman doesn't have to feel guilty because he owes him, let alone be afraid that Shen Chenyu will blackmail him in the future. For Shen Chenyu and Crazy Wazi, this is a very fair and just transaction, and the two of them will not owe each other in the future.

Shen Chenyu asked Mu Linting to keep the ginseng and sell it for money when he went to the town to learn from his teacher. After that, Shen Chenyu turned around in the space, and handed Mu Linting the things he bought in the town today.

Mu Linting squeezed what was in his hand, a little confused about what was in his hand. Before he could feel what was in his hand with his sense of touch, Shen Chenyu at the side reached out to help him open the oiled paper bag.

There are a few small snacks in the oiled paper bag, because they are placed in Shen Chenyu's space, the snacks in the oiled paper bag are still warm at this moment. When he was shopping for meat in the town today, he saw a few brothers beside him kept talking about the dim sum from this restaurant, so he followed him in and bought a few yuan for Mu Linting.

On the way, Shen Chenyu ate a piece. Shen Chenyu, who was used to eating all kinds of delicacies in her previous life, didn't think this kind of snack was delicious. But he knew that this era was very backward, and this kind of dim sum was already very good for ordinary people.

When Shen Chenyu opened the oiled paper bag, Mu Linting smelled a strange sweet smell, and he guessed it should be something like dim sum.

Mu Linting didn't expect Shen Chenyu to bring him snacks, and he was not used to being cared about so bluntly, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu was amused and distressed, he urged Mu Linting to quickly pick it up and taste it, the dim sum was the best when it was just made.

Being urged by Shen Chenyu like this, Mu Linting could only take out a piece of snack and put it in his mouth. Shen Chenyu's eyes moved with his movements, and then he found that Mu Linting not only had good-looking eyes, but the shape of his lips was also pretty if you looked closely.

Especially at this time under the dim light, after the scar on Mu Linting's face was softened by the light, Shen Chenyu vaguely saw his original appearance.

Mu Linting could feel Shen Chenyu's focused gaze, he didn't understand what was so good about his ugly appearance, why did this person keep staring at his face endlessly? Just when Mu Linting was not used to it and wanted to turn around, there was a soft knock on the door by Mrs. Shen Liu from outside.

Shen Chenyu heard the voice and got up to open the door, only to see outside the door besides Shen Liushi and Xiao Roubao, there was a young man who was a bit unfamiliar.

As soon as the other party saw Shen Chenyu coming out, he greeted Shen Chenyu with a smile, and the two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Shen Chenyu knew the identity of the other party. This man is the eldest son of the village head of Xiling Village. Shen Chenyu should have seen him before, and I don't know what he is talking about now?

It was already night now, and it was inconvenient for Shen Chenyu to invite him in, so the two went to the yard to talk. Seeing this, Shen Liu glanced at the village chief's son, and then entered Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting's room with the little meat bun in his arms.

Shen Liushi usually would not enter their room, the main reason was that she was not familiar with them. Shen Liushi came in at this time to find Mu Linting. She handed the small meat bun in her bosom to Mu Linting to hold, and mysteriously took out a silver bracelet.

Mrs. Shen Liu whispered to Mu Linting: "I am not capable as a mother-in-law, so I can't give you anything of value. But there is a rule in our Xiling Village, that is, a mother-in-law must give her son's husband a meeting gift. Before I I have never had a chance to give you anything, so I just gave you this bracelet at this moment. Although...it is just a cheap silver bracelet, it also represents my heart as a mother-in-law."

Shen Liushi said Then, he put the bracelet on Mu Linting's wrist. Don't look at Mu Linting's height, but a little brother is a little brother, no matter how tall he is, his waist and wrists are still slender.

Shen Liushi easily put it on for him. Mu Linting is not a character who likes to push and refuse, because he knows that this is the traditional rule here, so he has no intention of rejecting Shen Liushi.

Although the relationship between him and Shen Chenyu is a bit complicated, what should be done on the surface is still to be done, otherwise Shen Liushi will easily find out that something is wrong. As for the future? If he and Shen Chenyu reconcile, he will never take away what doesn't belong to him.

When Mu Linting was distracted, Shen Liushi looked at Xiao Roubao and remembered something. "Lin Ting, our little meat buns don't have a decent name yet. You should have some snacks when you and brother Yu are free."

Shen Liushi has never read a book, and she doesn't know many words. She has no skills. To name the little grandson, I have been looking forward to Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting.

It's a pity that what Shen Liushi didn't know was that one of them was unreliable as a father and the other was unreliable. Up to now, they haven't given Xiaoroubao a name, which made the whole village follow their name.

A trace of guilt flashed across Mu Linting's face when he heard the words, he and Shen Chenyu were indeed negligent about choosing a name. "I see. When he comes back, I'll discuss it with him."

When Shen Liushi heard what he said, she felt a little relieved. After she left with Xiaoroubao in her arms, Shen Chenyu also came back from outside.

The village head's son is Feng Dahan, the only child-born master in Xiling Village, and the most valued young junior in Xiling Village.

Feng Dahan was born on the day of Dahan, so he took such a name. He is twenty-six years old this year, and his appearance is neither ugly nor good-looking, just the type that cannot be found in the crowd.

In addition to studying, Feng Dahan now also works as a teacher in the village. Before Shen Chenyu came to Xiling Village, Feng Dahan was very popular in several villages near and far. Even though he himself is not very good-looking, he is very popular with those girls and brothers.

The main reason why Feng Dahan came here this time was that the village chief wanted the two of them to make friends. Although the two of them are not the same master, they are both scholars after all and can help each other in their studies in the future.

Shen Chenyu and Feng Dahan had a brief chat, and found that Feng Dahan was a little arrogant. Although Feng Dahan's performance was very good from the beginning to the end, and he seemed to be very enthusiastic about Shen Chenyu inside and outside the words, but Shen Chenyu was still sensitive to a slight violation.

Feng Dahan probably felt that he was a child born, and Shen Chenyu was just a white body now, so he couldn't help feeling that he was superior to others.

In addition, when Shen Chenyu talked to him, she didn't hold him like other people, and she didn't feel happy because of his initiative. Afterwards, the two of them chatted with a feeling that they were not speculative.

After Shen Chenyu sent Feng Dahan away, she didn't get angry because Feng Dahan looked down on her, but she was stimulated to become more determined to study.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu had come back, Mu Linting took off the bracelet on his hand and told about Shen Liushi's visit.

Shen Chenyu glanced at the bracelet, wondering why Mu Linting didn't wear it? As if aware of Shen Chenyu's doubts, Mu Linting couldn't help but frowned and said, "I have to work every day, so it's not suitable for me to wear these. Besides, I can't see anything, so if I lose it, I will have to work hard to find it."

Shen Chenyu nodded when she heard the words, but she didn't bother with him about whether to wear the bracelet or not. Instead, she had a headache and pressed her temples. The name of the little meat bun was indeed a problem.
