"It's okay, everyone is gone!" Chen Yunyou said gently to his wife lying on the bed.

Upon hearing this, Song Xile opened her eyes happily, with a smile in her peach blossom eyes.

Chen Yun shook his head and laughed, "You, aren't you afraid that the old lady will target you in the future?"

Song Xile shrugged indifferently, "Even if this incident didn't happen today, she would still be dissatisfied with me. Why should I try to please someone who is prejudiced against me?"

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is nothing to be afraid of!"

Chen Yunyou looked deeply at the girl in front of him with a bright smile. She was so different, straightforward and bold, smart and enthusiastic.

This wife, who came out of nowhere, was exactly what he wanted!

He couldn't help but rub her head with his hand and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here! No matter what you do, I will take the responsibility."

When the atmosphere was just right, Song Xile's stomach started to growl!

"Take a rest first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's any food left!"

After a while, Chen Yunyou came back with a slightly cold face, holding a bowl of porridge so big that you could see your reflection in it.

"Xile, just eat what you can for now. I'll go to the county town to buy some rice and flour. If you want to eat anything later, we can cook it in the small kitchen in the backyard!"

Song Xile didn't ask any more questions and nodded obediently!

It's just a matter of withholding some food. Do you think she'll surrender with such a small trick?

That would be underestimating her as a time-traveling girl with maxed-out skills!

After Song Xile finished eating, Chen Yunyou packed up some manuscripts and asked, "I'm going to the county town. Do you need anything?"

Song Xile shook his head and reminded: "It's inconvenient for you to go alone, buy less!"

Chen Yunyou nodded, gave some instructions, then walked out of the house and went directly to the county town through the back door.

Xixi Village is relatively close to the county town, and there is a flat official road just outside the village.

It usually only takes an adult fifteen minutes to get there. If they are lucky enough to see a passing oxcart, they only need to spend a penny to reach the county town!

Among the villagers who settled in Xixi Village, the largest number were from the Zhao clan, followed by the Chen clan. At the same time, people with some other surnames also settled here!

The farce that happened in the Chen family yesterday has already become a topic of conversation in Xixi Village.

So when the villagers saw Chen Yunyou going out, they asked curiously about his wife!

Chen Yunyou was not annoyed, and even asked the other party if he had any eggs or hens to sell at home. He wanted to buy some to take home for his wife!

Chen Yunyou asked the question, and someone responded immediately!

The weather is so dry that people are almost out of food, let alone livestock?

This animal eats a lot!

"That's fine. When I come back, I'll go to my uncle's house to buy it!"

The villagers who were watching the fun at the entrance of the village saw that the child was very generous and a man who loved his wife.

Many people said that Song Xile had found a blessing in disguise this time! She found a husband who also knew how to love her!

After Chen Yunyou walked away, someone with a curious mind joked, "What a pity! My daughter-in-law has to buy chickens from outside, but Master Chen's hill is full of chickens!"

"Who says it's not? After all, they are not biological children. Otherwise, how could they have skipped their sons and found a wife for their grandson first?"

"This is a coincidence, it just happened..."

The villagers couldn't help laughing!

Chen Yunyou had no idea about the villagers' discussions. He walked along the official road for a while and successfully got on a ox cart.

The person driving the ox cart is Li Youfu from the neighboring village. His family is having a hard time now, so Li Youfu would come out to drive the ox cart when he has nothing to do to earn some money to supplement the family income!

Life was hard for everyone these days. Unless the journey was very long or they had heavy objects in their hands, people would not easily spend money to ride in a ox cart.

So when the ox cart arrived at the county town, after Chen Yunyou paid the fare, Li Youfu stopped Chen Yunyou and asked him if he wanted to leave by car later, and he could wait for him here!

This was naturally the best idea, and Chen Yunyou agreed immediately!

I walked to the city gate and paid a penny for the entrance fee before I was allowed to enter the city.

Nanyun County is located in the south of the Yangtze River. The streets in the county town are wide enough to accommodate three horse-drawn carriages running side by side.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, but this year's harvest is not good, so there are not many customers in the shops!

Chen Yunyou had a clear goal, and after entering the city he went straight to Moxiangzhai!

The bookstore owner who heard the noise saw that it was him and greeted him familiarly.

"Boss, I have copied all the books I got from you last time. Can you take a look and see if there are any problems?"

The shop owner took the book, flipped through it briefly, and nodded with satisfaction, "It's only been less than two months, I didn't expect you to copy it so quickly!"

Then he skillfully took out a scale from the counter and weighed a small silver coin. "Here is one tael and two cents, take a look!"

He took out two strings of copper coins and said, "This time the reward is one tael and four coins. Keep it safe!"

"Thank you very much, boss. I wonder if you still have work to copy books?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "I do have another job here, but I don't know if it will delay you."

"Speak, shopkeeper!"

"The county exam is about to start at the end of the month, and my shop just happened to have obtained some excellent answer sheets from previous years. I was thinking of finding someone to copy some and sell them.

"But this work is urgent. We have to finish it before the county exam. We only have three to five days. Please copy as much as you can. I will give you one penny for each copy you make. How about that?"

Chen Yunyou nodded in agreement.

The shopkeeper immediately told the waiter to get the answer sheet!

The shopkeeper looked at the young man's pale face and reminded him, "You will also take part in the county exam this year. You should pay more attention to your health. Just copy as many test questions as you can. Don't force yourself!"

Although the job was urgent, what the bookstore had no shortage of were poor students who were willing to copy books, so the shopkeeper did not forget to give some instructions to the young man in front of him!

Chen Yunyou naturally knew the shopkeeper's good intentions. After taking the test paper from the clerk, he thanked him and left!

After leaving the bookstore, Chen Yunyou went directly to the grain store.

Many people from the city gathered in the grain shop. When Chen Yunyou walked into the shop, he heard people complaining.

"Oh, this is a waste of time. The price of rice has risen from eight cents of silver per stone to one tael of silver per stone. If the drought doesn't ease, the price of grain will probably rise further!"

(One dan is 120 jin, but for the sake of convenience, we use 100 jin in this article! That is, the price of one jin of rice has increased from eight coins to ten coins!)

"Who says it's not true? Now my family can only afford brown rice and dark flour. If the price of grain continues to rise, I can only buy bran and bran bran..."

The people in the city all had sad faces. They could barely get by when the weather was good, but when the disaster hit, their lives immediately became difficult!

Listening to the conversation of the people, Chen Yunyou's mind drifted away until the waiter called him, and then he came back to his senses!

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"
