After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it
Chapter 21 Hypocritical Jiang Chen
Jiang Chen really passed the imperial examination and became a juren. They, his uncles, were just ordinary people. What could they do to him?
Uncle Niu's eyes were gloomy. "If he wants to get rid of my niece, he has to ask me if I agree. If there really comes a day like that, I will make sure that he will not be able to succeed as a scholar even if I am willing to sacrifice my life."
Aunt Niu didn't listen to the old man's bragging, "Let's go back quickly, thanks to Nan Zhi who helped us make sausages, otherwise they would have gone bad.
I have to go home and check it out. Nan Zhi said to fumigate it more to prevent it from going bad.
And the spareribs are really delicious when stewed in soup, and the bones are delicious too. We will eat them ourselves from now on."
Women all care about the family's food, clothing and daily expenses. Uncle Niu sighed. Nan Zhi is not very good-looking, but she is a good hand at home and outside.
Shen Nanzhi was very happy to find a family. People are social animals and few are born to be alone. Even if they are capable, they still need interpersonal relationships and the feeling of being cared for and remembered by others. Only then will they feel that life is fulfilling.
Instead of feeling cold and alone, what's the point of living?
When I was almost at the city gate, I thought I seemed to have forgotten something, but I just couldn't remember it, so I let it go.
However, hunter Chen came back and had sold all his prey. The roe deer was sold for one or two taels of silver. A smile was on his honest face.
"Uncle Chen, have you sold all your things?"
"They've been sold. The people in the county are rich, and they can sell pheasants and rabbits for a good price. The remaining ones have been bought by the owner of a big restaurant."
Hunter Chen was very grateful to Shen Nanzhi. Without her help, he wouldn't be able to enter the city gate and might even get into trouble.
Shen Nanzhi said, "Uncle Chen, since the manager of the big restaurant is here to buy, it means they need these prey. In the future, you should try to catch them alive and send them directly to the manager. Although you will earn less, it is more stable."
Hunter Chen's eyes lit up. "Why didn't I think of that? But will the manager agree?"
"Why not? It's hard for them to find live game. They make more money and want a stable supply. Uncle Chen occasionally sends some wine or a pheasant. Isn't it easy for them to get along well with each other?"
Hunter Chen scratched his head and said, "Big sister, you really know a lot. I'll take note of it. If it works, you will be my biological sister from now on."
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Not really. We are from the same village and should help each other."
The old village chief puffed on his pipe and rarely looked at her. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Her face wasn't so ugly that it was unbearable to look at it.
She is confident and generous. No matter what others think of her, she always smiles and doesn't mind at all.
In the past, Shen always kept his head down, pulling a greasy cart to the town to sell meat to make money, and rarely communicated with the villagers.
"Shen is right. We are from the same village, so we should help each other if we can."
The village chief rarely spoke, so Shen Nanzhi took the opportunity to hand him a pack of tobacco: "Uncle village chief, this is what my father left behind. I wanted to sell it for some money, but I didn't have any way to do it. Uncle, you can smoke it."
"That's so embarrassing, I'll help you sell it."
"It's not worth much, I just keep it because it reminds me of me. It makes me sad. The village chief likes to take a puff. I'm honoring you. It's worth it that you took care of me so much in the past."
Shen Nanzhi appropriately displayed the fragility of an orphan girl, and both the village chief and hunter Chen felt a pang in their hearts. This girl is quite difficult.
The village chief said, "Okay, I'll take it."
Refusing to accept it would hurt the child's heart.
The dry tobacco shreds are actually the cigar shreds in Shen Nanzhi's space. She had cooperated with different people in her previous life. Even after retirement, she would always have friends visiting her, so she prepared a lot.
They are all cigarettes anyway, so they should be the same, right?
Shen Nanzhi doesn't smoke and doesn't understand cigarettes. It would be a waste to keep them, so he simply tried to get connections with the village chief.
The village chief originally thought it was ordinary dry tobacco, the kind that costs a few dozen coins per pound, and can be smoked for several months if you are frugal. But when he lit it up and smelled it, the old smoker was intoxicated, "What kind of tobacco is this?"
Shen Nanzhi was confused: "Aren't they all tobacco? I don't understand, they have been hidden at the bottom of the box, are they moldy?"
No, it shouldn't get moldy if it is stored with professional equipment.
"No, it's just too fragrant. It's simply the best tobacco I've ever smoked. It must be worth a lot of money. It's no wonder your father kept it in the bottom of his box."
Shen Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't broken, "The things at the bottom of the box have to meet someone like you who knows the value of them. To me, they are just a bag of useless things that take up space."
The village chief wanted to return it, but he couldn't bear to do so. After tasting meat, who would be willing to drink slop?
After saying this, Lin Xueqing came back and angrily asked Shen Nanzhi: "Where have you been?"
Shen Nanzhi: "..."
"I gave you face? How dare you talk to me like that? Who do you think you are?"
If she wasn't a woman, Shen Nanzhi would have slapped her first. What the hell was that? Yelling at her?
Some women are just stupid. They think they are beautiful girls, superior to others, and everyone should pamper and give in to them. Shen Nanzhi has seen many of them in her previous life. They are more annoying than green tea and white lotus.
"You, why are you so fierce?"
Lin Xueqing was also startled and hid beside the old village chief.
Old village chief: "..."
Why did you come to see him?
"Lin Xiaohua, this is your fault. If you have something to say, just say it. You get angry right away. Shen is not a member of your family. Do I need to report everything to you?"
"No, Uncle Village Chief, she didn't care about Brother Jiang, she didn't send him food or clothes, and she didn't care about her husband when she went to the city. Who knows what she did?"
Shen Nanzhi was even more speechless, "I've seen weird people before, but this is the first time I've seen someone as weird as you. Do you have any right to interfere in my family's affairs?
Who do you think you are? If you feel bad, just give it to me. If you want to keep a useless kid, go ahead and keep him. What right do you have to come to me?"
The village chief was a little hesitant. Jiang Chen was the most promising young man in the village. If Shen really didn't care about him, how could he concentrate on taking the imperial examination?
"Mrs. Shen, there is no such thing as an overnight grudge between husband and wife. You can't really just ignore it, right?"
Shen Nanzhi said: "Village head, you misunderstood me. Jiang Chen received financial subsidies from the government, and the court will take care of it.
But he spent all the subsidies on the old house, and didn't care about our food and drink, so I had no choice but to sell meat.
Now I have figured it out. It is enough to take care of my mother and me. Jiang Chen has enough money to support his parents, so he should be able to make a living."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, let's go ask the county magistrate."
Shen Nanzhi had studied history. Scholars all received subsidies, but these were only given to those with extremely outstanding academic performance. Scholars were also divided into several grades. The original owner had little knowledge and was deceived by Jiang Chen.
Shen Nanzhi looked down upon this man more and more. He was cowardly and irresponsible, hypocritical and full of lies. It was God's fault that such a talented man was admitted.
Aunt Hu and her daughter also came back. Seeing their serious mood, they asked, "What's going on?"
