A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

A cock crow woke up the sleeping Chenjiacun.

It was about to break, and a little fish belly white appeared on the eastern horizon.

Chen Changsheng sat up from the bed, and Si Xi turned over in a daze beside him, rubbing his eyes and saying, "Mom, are you getting up?"

Chen Sixi's children studied very late last night, and all of them stayed in bed this morning.

"Well, Sixi, you can sleep a little longer, and I'll wake you up after breakfast is ready." Chen Changsheng always loved this fourth girl very much.

Chen Changsheng got up and looked at the bricks burned yesterday. The fire had been extinguished long ago. The bricks had been left to cool overnight, revealing a red color.

This red brick was done successfully.

Chen Changsheng decided to wait until he came back from the city later to talk to Li Zheng about this matter.

In another room, the three brothers Chen Dafu had also gotten up quickly.

As usual, Chen Sanshou went to the fields to cut some fresh grass and came back, chopped it up and fed it to the chickens. Erlu was responsible for tending the family land, and Dafu was responsible for grinding the soy milk.

The whole family cooperated and finally caught up with the bullock cart at the beginning of Mao Shi.

In order to consume more energy, Chen Changsheng insisted on not taking the bus. She had eaten a full meal in the morning and could still endure the walk.

But when she thought about whether she would have to continue walking to save calories if her family bought a car in the future, Chen Changsheng felt a little sad.

System, you are not a human!

System: [Who is scolding me behind my back so early in the morning? 】

Along the way, Chen Changsheng kept complaining in his mind. The ox cart swayed slowly and arrived at the gate of Baishui County at the beginning of the month.

The waiter from Liuji Restaurant had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. After Chen Changsheng handed over a bucket of original tofu curd and a pound of sample ground vegetables to the waiter, the waiter immediately drove towards Sishui County.

Chen Changsheng was not idle either. After delivering the dishes from Ruyi Restaurant, she divided the remaining two buckets of water tofu and other ingredients into two parts. One part was sold by Chen Dafu and Chen Sixi in the market, and the other part was sold by Chen Erlu and Chen Sanshou. Sold at the dock.

Chen Sanshou couldn't help but ask, "Mom, aren't you going with me today?"

If his mother didn't go with him today, he was worried that he and his second brother wouldn't be able to handle it, and he felt unsure.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "Whatever mother has been selling these past two days, you can sell it the same way. Remember two points, you must be diligent in what you say, and you must be diligent in working with your hands."

She patted the eldest and second eldest children on the shoulders and said, "Mom, I believe in you four children. When I finish my work, I will go find you."

Several children took their things and left separately.

Watching the children's retreating figures, Chen Changsheng came to his senses, asked for the direction of the county government office, and headed straight away.

At the gate of the county government office.

No one from Changle Casino has arrived yet.

Chen Changsheng waited at the gate of the county government office for a long time before he saw the brothers from the gambling shop arriving late.

She said coldly, "I brought the money. Did you bring the receipt?"

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks squinted his small eyes and looked at Chen Changsheng, and said sadly, "Oh, little pepper, my boss promoted you and spent a lot of money to lure you to the gambling house. Why don't you seize the opportunity to be with me? ah."

He was still trying hard to get Chen Changsheng to come over for the last time, looking like he was tearing his heart out.

Chen Changsheng sneered, "Go to your gambling house? Ask for money for you? Do something that is harmful to the world and destroys people's lives? What a beautiful idea!"

"Second brother, let's stop talking nonsense to her." The short, thin man with a mustache said impatiently, "We have brought the documents. Aren't you going to ask the county government to do a notarization? Okay, you go and ask for it!"

They were not afraid of Chen Changsheng at all. The county government had already taken care of it, not to mention that the county boss was an old friend of their gambling house.

Chen Changsheng didn't know what was going on. He only looked at the gate of the county government office. It was actually closed in broad daylight.

She had only been to the modern government department to do business. This was her first time in the ancient county government, and she didn't know what the procedures were.

Chen Changsheng recalled the costume TV series he watched in his previous life. It seemed that the person involved played the drum first, and then the yamen would lead you in.

As soon as the county magistrate was shocked, the officials kept banging the water and fire sticks and shouted "mighty" before formally ascending to the court. Then the common people knelt down to report, and the county magistrate finally made a decision.

TVs are all based on real life and must be based on real history. Chen Changsheng guessed that this dynasty also followed this process.

She walked to the grievance drum next to the gate of the county government office, took off the mallet and was about to beat it, when she heard the voice of the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks coming from behind again.

"Ouch, I mean Pepper, why don't you just forget it and stop beating that drum."

Chen Changsheng turned around in confusion.

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked heartbroken and said, "Our Baishui County rules are that anyone who beats the drum of injustice must first suffer the punishment of ten battles. I'm really afraid that your body won't be able to bear it. Otherwise, forget it and get to my brother. Come here."

After beating the grievance drum, the drummer must first be beaten with a stick, which she had never heard of.

She also made special inquiries before Chen Changsheng came here, and had never heard of such saucy practices in this dynasty.

At this time, many people gathered in front of the county government office to watch the excitement.

There were many well-meaning people among them who also advised, "Sister-in-law, why don't you just forget it. Our Baishui County magistrate has established this rule. If you beat this drum, you will definitely get a meal." It’s painful to the skin.”

"Yes, a young man came to play the drums the day before yesterday. As soon as he finished playing the drums, he was pulled and beaten first. After only five sticks, he couldn't bear it and gave up."

"I heard that there was a collusion between the gambling house and the county magistrate. The county magistrate himself is not a good person."

"Shhh... don't talk nonsense. Be careful and tell the officials to listen and give you a good meal."

Chen Changsheng frowned, isn't this a proper collusion between government and business?

The vicious people in the gambling house all looked at Chen Changsheng with proud expressions. The leader said with a sneer, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The boss of our Changle gambling house is on good terms with the county magistrate. If you want to complain to me at the county government, People in gambling houses must first suffer the punishment of the rod. Can you bear it?"

Chen Changsheng couldn't bear it. Even if she could bear it, she didn't want to suffer this physical pain in vain.

She put down the mallet, lowered her head and sighed. It seemed that drumming was no longer feasible.

The thin man with a mustache sneered, "Humph, I told you not to come to the county office a long time ago, but you didn't listen. You insisted on coming to the county office to get a notarization, and you had to show off. It doesn't matter, since you have seen the tricks of our gambling house. , it’s best to give us thirty taels honestly.”

Chen Changsheng curled his lips and stared coldly at the skinny man with a mustache and the people in the gambling house behind him. Everyone looked at the joke of the country woman in front of him with mocking expressions.

Chen Changsheng stood for a long time, then turned around and stepped onto the steps of the county government office, heading towards the closed door.

Approaching the door, she stretched out her hand and clicked the copper ring on the door, and the sound of "knock, knock, knock" was heard in people's hearts.

She was not allowed to complain, but she was not allowed to knock on the door directly.
