Chapter 968 My sister-in-law is poor but kind
When Chu Chen opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in a thatched hut.
Above them was a tattered thatched roof, and beneath them was a bed made of wooden planks.
Perhaps because it was cleaned frequently, the sheets and blankets, washed until faded, were very clean and had a faint fragrance.
Chu Chen knew in his heart that this must be the woman's boudoir.
In fact, he had set a goal for himself before, which was to go from frugality to luxury.
This village looks very dilapidated and is inaccessible, so let's start from this unknown village.
Although I experienced this process as soon as I transmigrated.
However, since he had no martial arts skills and no power of heaven and earth in his body before, his understanding of it was a completely different matter.
Therefore, this matter has to be done all over again.
"you're awake?"
"Excuse me, young lady, where am I?"
"Girl? Hahahaha, it's been so long since anyone called me 'girl'!"
"Don't worry, you're safe now. I'll tell you more when you're feeling better."
After saying that, the woman came to Chu Chen's side and pulled down his clothes: "You are in great shape. You fell from such a height and only suffered minor injuries."
"These are herbs my sister-in-law picked up from the mountain. Don't worry, she'll be able to get out of bed and walk around in a few days!"
Sister-in-law? Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "What a terrible coincidence! How did I end up in the home of a married woman?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Don't mention it, I'll keep your sister-in-law company!"
Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, thinking to himself, "A widow, it seems she's always getting into trouble!"
Otherwise, what's the point of having company? And what kind of company is it?
For a moment, Chu Chen regretted starting off this way. He should have just gone straight into a city and become a beggar!
Why go through all that trouble? Although the experience isn't as realistic as this, beggars are still considered ordinary people, so the difference isn't that great.
But since that's the case, let's see how things develop.
Nothing was said that night. The next day, the woman opened the wooden door and came in again: "Look, you've recovered quite well. Take off your clothes and let your sister-in-law take a look at your wound."
After saying that, she casually walked over to Chu Chen's side.
After a series of operations........
The woman seemed very satisfied with her herbs; the smile on her face never stopped.
Feeling his body had fully recovered, Chu Chen pretended to slowly prop himself up with his hands and sit up.
"Hehe, this young body is really good. Why don't you get down and walk around for a bit?"
Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He got out of bed, took a few steps, and then sat back down on a stool in front of the bed that had some difficulty walking.
"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days!"
"Look at this young master from the city, he speaks so politely. He hasn't even told his sister-in-law what his name is yet."
"My name is Chen Qingxuan. I fled from Lingyang City, but I encountered bandits and got lost. Fortunately, I was rescued by my benefactor!"
Upon hearing that they came from Lingyang City, the woman's expression suddenly changed.
Yes, she thought of her husband, whom she hadn't even consummated her marriage with yet, who had been captured by those people, who said they were going to Lingyang to suppress bandits.
"You came from Lingyang, and you even encountered mountain bandits?"
"That's right, my benefactor, where is this place?"
"Hehe, this is Shanba City, between Lingyang and Haide. Our place is called Sanjiang Village, a place so poor that we can't even afford to eat."
"Don't keep calling me your benefactor. My name is Guifang, just call me Sister-in-law Guifang or Sister-in-law!"
Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself that he had traveled at high speed all the way to another city.
Based on previous observations, this place is indeed extremely poor; there isn't a single brick or tile house in the entire village.
But if she's the sister-in-law, what about the male head of the household? And the children?
"Hey, Sister-in-law Guifang, where's our eldest brother?"
"Heh, dead?"
"died?"
I thought to myself, she really is a widow, doing this kind of thing.
So he immediately asked, "Dead? How did you die?"
"Heh, I was captured by those bastards and forced into the army. They said I died while suppressing bandits. What a pity, I haven't even had my wedding night yet, and I'm already a widow!"
Holy crap, that's a lot of information.
She became a widow without even having a wedding night, but isn't she still a girl?
However, in this era, once someone is married, they must uphold traditional wifely virtues, regardless of whether they have consummated their marriage. This woman will likely live a lonely life until the end, unless someone else takes her in.
But now that they've already been given a formal title, how many people would dare to come and pick them up?
Another point is that the bandits in Lingyang were all arranged by the city lord. It seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems.
Then he asked again, "It must have been a month since our eldest brother died!"
"Hey, how do you know so much? The higher-ups sent someone to deliver the silver, and judging by the time it's been, it'll be about a month."
Chu Chen smiled inwardly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Good heavens, not only were the people killed by Chang Shou and his gang, but their so-called bandit suppression was actually a campaign against refugees."
Then you won't feel guilty in the future.
"Alright, Sister Guifang, let bygones be bygones. Once I've recovered, I'll help you find a good family in the city!"
After hearing this, Wang Guifang laughed and said, "The young masters in the city are really different. My sister-in-law is already married, so who else would want her?"
"Let alone in the city, even in this poor mountain village, people despise us!"
Chu Chen did not answer, but stood up and walked out of the thatched hut.
After looking around, it became clear that this family was indeed extremely poor.
It's not much different from my home in Mashan Village.
Perhaps they sent two taels of silver over there. There was some grain, but it was just some coarse grains and the like.
"Sister-in-law, is there no one else at home?"
"They're all dead, leaving only me, a widow."
After saying that, a hint of dejection appeared on Wang Guifang's face.
Seeing this scene, Chu Chen thought to himself that he had finally come to the right place.
He wasn't afraid of gossip or idle chatter, as long as he was poor and miserable enough.
Let's start the journey from frugality to luxury from this home!
As the two were talking, suddenly, the wooden gate to the outer courtyard was pushed open, and a lean man walked in.
"Wang Guifang, that deadbeat of yours owes me money from the beginning of the year, shouldn't he pay it back?"
"Huh, what's this thing? You're keeping a man..."
As soon as the man entered, he saw Chu Chen, and an aura of malice immediately rushed towards him.
"Bullshit! Your mother is the one who keeps men. This is my cousin."
“Let me tell you, Ma Lao Er, don’t even think about getting your way. You just want my body, don’t you? Even if I die, you won’t get a single bite.”
