Back to the 80s: Pretending to Be in Debt to Escape Misery

In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...

Chapter 6 He doesn't hate her?

Chapter 6 He doesn't hate her?

Just as she was about to walk back to the village, Mu Chenze pointed to the driver's seat and said helplessly, "I mean you can sit in the driver's seat."

Chu Xuan gestured with his hands in front of him, "Are you sure? If a 200-pound fat man like me sits in the driver's seat, will there be room for you? Besides, even if we both squeeze into the driver's seat, what will it look like?"

Is this guy addicted to being taken advantage of?

Mu Chenze glared at Chu Xuan angrily, "What are you dreaming of? I'm standing at the connection between the tractor and the truck bed, directing you to drive the tractor."

His tone was not very nice, but he meant well.

He knew that the money Chu Xuan earned from selling the gold ingots was at most enough to build a new house. If he wanted to have a better quality of life, he would have to earn more money.

If Chu Xuan can learn to drive a tractor, he can help the village or factory drive a tractor and earn money in his spare time.

Learn one more skill and you will have one more way to make money.

Chu Xuan looked Mu Chenze up and down. Did this guy trust her so much? Wasn't he afraid that she would drive the tractor into the ditch?

But she also realized that he was helping her in disguise.

He taught her how to drive a tractor only after they got married in their previous life. She was very smart and learned it quickly.

Could it be that because of her refusal to marry, some things in this life happened earlier?

Shouldn't he be angry with her and stay away from her?

She plotted to steal his first kiss, but instead of hating her, he wanted to help her?

Is this guy stupid?

Of course, she wouldn't mind learning it again in her life.

After all, now that she has a clear path, if she gets any good catch from the sea, she can borrow a tractor from the village and sell it in the county town for a good price.

"Mu Chenze, thank you..."

Before she could finish, Mu Chenze handed over the crank, "I believe you can do it. The road outside the county town is very flat for a long time, so just drive with confidence. You will definitely learn how to start the car by cranking it, so give it a try."

He is willing to teach, and Chu Xuan would be a fool if he doesn't learn.

He took it over quickly and, under Mu Chenze's command, started it successfully, and the diesel engine chimney began to smoke.

Chu Xuan sat in the driver's seat, and Mu Chenze jumped onto the connection between the truck bed and the tractor.

He instructed Chu Xuan to shift gears and release the clutch, started the car steadily for a while, and then told her to brake slowly.

After only being taught once, Chu Xuan said he had learned it.

Drive forward again.

Mu Chenze didn't praise her out loud, but he admired her very much in his heart.

Back then, when Mu Chenze was learning to drive a tractor, his master had to teach him twice before he could do it.

Chu Xuan was driving the tractor while thinking that as long as she didn't marry him, she wouldn't bring any harm to him and his family. It would also be nice to be friends with him, at least there would be one less enemy to trip her up.

They drove safely to the village entrance and stopped. Chu Xuan jumped off the tractor, but he didn't stand firmly and almost sprained his ankle. Mu Chenze helped him up.

Only when she stood firm did she realize that Mu Chenze's hand was on her waist.

It's so embarrassing. My pot belly has really tarnished Mu Chenze's handsome hands.

Fortunately, I had changed into clean clothes and there was no unpleasant fishy smell on my body.

"You can let me go now."

Hearing this, Mu Chenze quickly withdrew his hand, thinking that Chu Xuan was angry and embarrassed, so he deliberately teased her, "You don't even mind your first kiss, so you shouldn't mind it even more if it's just a touch."

Chu Xuan didn't dare to say that she minded, for fear that he would say something about taking responsibility and marrying her. She immediately pretended not to care, "That's right, not only do I not mind, I even feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

As soon as he said this, Mu Chenze was so embarrassed that he immediately started the tractor and left.

Chu Xuan touched his right pocket to confirm that the money was still there, then walked towards home.

Ten minutes later, I walked into the house.

Chu Feng jumped out of the house like a rabbit, his face full of excitement, and shouted loudly, "Sister..."

Chu Xuan quickly made a gesture to keep quiet.

Chu Feng understood immediately and rushed to the gate to lock it.

He took his sister's arm and went to the bedroom.

Trying hard to suppress the excitement in my heart, I lowered my voice and asked, "Sister, how is it? Is it gold?"

Chu Xuan didn't answer directly, but asked seriously, "How's the house cleaning going?"

Chu Feng said as if he was presenting a treasure, "I'll show you around one by one."

The brother and sister looked at the two bedrooms together, as well as the kitchen and toilet.

Everything was kept spotlessly clean.

And the water tank is full of water.

Chu Xuan always felt that it was impossible for his younger brother to clean so well by himself.

"Did you really do this yourself?"

Chu Feng hung his head, not daring to look at her. "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish the work before you came back. Aunt Hua happened to be bringing people to see our king mackerel. I quietly discussed with Aunt Hua that if she could find two people to help me clean up, I would give each of them two kilograms of fresh mackerel fillets. So..."

Chu Xuan understood without having to listen to what happened next.

Seeing Chu Xuan didn't say anything, Chu Feng thought he had done something wrong, "Sister, did I do something wrong? Then you can hit me? Or I can go fishing again tomorrow and earn back what I gave away today."

After all, six or seven kilograms of mackerel can be sold for about ten yuan.

Chu Xuan looked guilty. "Xiao Feng, you did nothing wrong. I ignored you for being tired after a day out at sea and the scars on your face, and still assigned you so much work. I didn't say anything just now because I was reflecting on myself. The fish is gone, and that's it."

Chu Feng let out a long sigh, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm glad you're not angry. I sent the Spanish mackerel tail to Grandpa Wang's house, and he gave us half a pound of pork fat in return, which I boiled into lard. I was so hungry that I didn't wait for you to eat. However, I left some lard scraps in the pot for you, as well as steamed Spanish mackerel, octopus, and noodle soup. They're all warming up now."

Chu Xuan looked relieved. His younger brother had learned to cook two years ago, and the food tasted pretty good. He would only cook when he needed to coax people, and was usually too lazy to cook. He would have to cure his laziness in the future.

He was indeed hungry, so he took out a thick stack of fifty-yuan notes from his pocket and slapped it into Xiaofeng's hand. "Sit aside and count them! I'll wash my hands and eat first."

Chu Feng held the stack of money in both hands and was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

This is the first time I have seen so much money in my life.

Until Chu Xuan reminded him, "You don't dare to count this little money? You can earn more in the future!"

Chu Feng then began to count the money, and began to cry as he counted.

The mood is very complicated, excited, excited, annoyed and regretful...

When the family business was divided, he complained to his sister, but his sister was willing to let him count the money.

So much money! He was completely convinced.

I counted the money over and over again, more than twenty times.

After Chu Xuan finished his meal and washed the dishes, he was still counting.

Chu Xuan stepped forward and gently rubbed his head. "Okay, we'll count it another day. We can't let anyone know about this money for now. But in a couple of days, we can start repairing the house and building a new one under the name of money sent by our biological mother."

When Chu Feng mentioned his biological mother, he felt a little depressed. "Sister, will our mother really send money? Our grandmother said she is not a good woman..."

Chu Xuan was very sure, "Yes. What our grandma said might not be true. The last time our mom came to visit us, didn't we refuse to see her? Before she left, she asked Grandpa Wang to leave a message for me, saying that she would send us money every June and December. Our grandparents and second uncle didn't know about this."

Chu Feng clenched his fists. "I get angry whenever I mention my second uncle. He came over this afternoon and said he wanted to take a piece of fresh mackerel. Luckily, Grandpa Wang came and chased him away. Sister, do you think he'll come back to steal at night?"

Chu Xuan smiled mysteriously, "I'm just worried they won't come and steal!"

"Them? Are grandparents coming too?"

"You'll know when the time comes. I'll keep the money close to me for now. Be alert when you sleep at night, because we have to get up and catch the thief."

Chu Feng was confused, but did not ask any more questions.

After Chu Xuan collected the money, his eyes fell on the pickled Spanish mackerel with its head hanging under the eaves. It must have weighed at least thirty kilograms.

The brother and sister chatted for a while before Chu Xuan returned to the house.

A few minutes later, he came out again and stuffed something into the fish's mouth...
