"I'm going into the mountains," Chen Xiaomi said, standing up.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and assured him, "Big brother, don't worry, I'll take good care of my brother and keep an eye on this guy."
When Chen Xiaocai mentioned her younger brother, her expression was gentle, but when she mentioned Lu Lin, her expression turned fierce.
Chen Xiaomi was very satisfied with her capable and obedient younger brother, saying, "I'm leaving him to you."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said solemnly, "Okay."
Looking at his older brother, Chen Xiaocai felt that his brother was the most powerful person in the world. When he grew up, he would also go into the mountains to hunt, earn money to support his family, and reduce his brother's burden.
No matter how the villagers talked about Chen Xiaomi, in Chen Xiaocai's heart, her elder brother was an unparalleled hero.
Not long after Chen Xiaomi left, Lu Lin opened his eyes.
Previously, with Chen Xiaomi, a legendary figure who could supposedly kill a tiger with a single punch, around, Lu Lin didn't dare to open his eyes. Now that Chen Xiaomi was gone, Lu Lin finally opened his eyes.
Lu Lin blinked. Today was supposed to be his wedding day, but it didn't feel like a wedding at all.
Looking at the dilapidated mud-brick house, Lu Lin felt a pang of regret.
I've actually traveled to a place like this! This family looks really poor!
Chen Xiaocai looked at Lu Lin with disgust and said, "So you're not dead! If you don't want to die, get up and eat something. If you want to die, go die outside. This house was bought with a lot of money by my brother. You're not allowed to dirty our place."
Lu Lin: "..." Chen Xiaocai looked to be seven or eight years old. He was a bit thin, but he had a lot of presence. He wondered if it was because of his older brother who went up the mountain to fight tigers.
The probability of twins appearing in this world is actually quite low. In the Chen family of three, the eldest and the third son are twins, while only the second son, Chen Xiaocai, is a boy.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaocai, frowned, and said, "I don't want to die. I want to eat something."
Chen Xiaocai gave Lu Lin a look that said, "You'd better know what's good for you." She added, "You were bought by my older brother for ten taels of silver, so don't try to act tough with him. My brother is very powerful."
Lu Lin: "..." In this world, men are superior to women. Women are not allowed to sit at the table when the family eats, let alone Shuang'er, whose status is even lower than that of women.
Chen Xiaomi may appear imposing and feared by all, but in reality, if he shows even the slightest sign of fatigue, he might be swayed by those foolish villagers, forced to his death, or even controlled by the Chen family.
Chen Xiaocai had always been by Chen Xiaomi's side and knew how hard his older brother had worked. When Lu Lin entered the room, Chen Xiaocai felt it was necessary to make him realize the situation.
"Understood," Lu Lin said.
Lu Lin thought to himself: This kid is so fierce at such a young age. How will he find a wife with this attitude?
Seeing that Lu Lin had learned his lesson, Chen Xiaocai's attitude towards Lu Lin improved slightly.
Chen Xiaocai brought a bowl of brown rice porridge to Lu Lin and warned him, "We don't support idlers in this house. You better get better quickly, winter is coming soon, and we still need to prepare food for the winter."
Chen Xiaocai was secretly worried. This year, they had spent a lot of money to buy a new person, and now there was another mouth to feed in the family. If they didn't think of a way, they might not be able to get through the winter. They still needed to earn some money, since they didn't have any land.
As Chen Xiaocai thought about it, she became increasingly dissatisfied with Lu Lin's expression. It had cost ten taels of silver to buy this man, which was enough to buy a lot of grain.
Chen Xiaocai decided that once Lu Lin recovered a bit, he would let Lu Lin go hunting with his older brother or find odd jobs in the city. After all, a grown man like him couldn't just sit around doing nothing.
As Lu Lin ate his porridge, he couldn't help but frown. People in his previous life always felt that their food was very unhealthy, with all the genetically modified organisms, pesticides, and fertilizers... But even if it was unhealthy, they could still eat their fill! In ancient times, whether the food was healthy or not was no longer important; having something to eat was good enough.
Brown rice tastes terrible, it's a bit like sand. As he ate the brown rice porridge, Lu Lin sighed inwardly. Many people in his previous life liked to pursue all-natural things, but all-natural things aren't all good. Actually, instant noodles are pretty good too.
Lu Lin couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, probably because he was angered by Lu Lin's expression.
Chen Xiaomi cursed, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." She turned and left aggressively.
Lu Lin watched Chen Xiaomi's retreating figure, scratching his head. Although he wasn't extremely wealthy in his previous life, he was still well-off. Now that he's back to square one, he should at least get a break.
After Chen Xiaocai left, Lu Lin took out a bottle of Nutritional Express from the convenience store and drank it.
Lu Lin thought to himself: His wife is a violent maniac, and his mother's family is a place that eats people alive. If he wants to survive in this place, he has to recover as soon as possible.
