"I was thinking that the two little ones at home have been craving it for a long time, and of course... hehe, I'm craving it too. This is perfect, it'll be a good opportunity to improve the whole family's meals."
Li Niang also opened her mouth and laughed heartily, "When I came back, I saw many people buying herbs. They said that many people have caught colds recently, so I bought a lot of medicinal materials."
He said this with some annoyance, "Oh, even the paper for holding the medicine costs a penny, it really hurts. The pharmacy is such a rip-off."
Chen Xian opened his mouth and looked at the two people, not knowing what to say. Even though he had come to this ancient world full of suspicion and scheming to survive in Qingxia Village, he was now completely gentle.
He originally thought it was just a routine task, and that he would have two wives to live with, as required by the government.
Being able to cook for the family, wash dishes and do laundry, and lighten the family's burden is already considered a good life.
There's no real affection involved; it's just mutual support, living like beasts of burden at the bottom of society.
But now, things are completely different.
It was a sweet feeling called "harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things," which nourished his heart.
It was a shiver I had never experienced before; goosebumps instantly rose on my face, and I felt an unusual tremor!
He stared at the two of them, his expression calm, and said, "I, Chen Xian, hereby swear that I will never betray you in this life."
The almost blatant confession made the farm girl blush with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Dazhu was a little embarrassed and whispered to his second brother, "Father is really... too good at coaxing Auntie."
Erzhu nodded, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Dad could come up with such a set of words. This is what a literate farmer is like. He really speaks Chinese differently from ordinary farmers."
Without warning, Erzhuzi suddenly felt as if he had grasped something in the darkness.
It's really good to read and write.
The Chen family kept drinking tea, occasionally looking up and glancing around.
Erzhu: "Will they really come?"
Chen Xian frowned.
Just as I was about to go to Qingping Study, I heard the voice of the female ghost with jade feet.
Uncle Fu felt uneasy, but hearing the teasing from the shop assistant at Qingping Study across the street made him feel more at ease.
It seems they haven't arrived yet.
Great news!
He then shouted with all his might, "Jade-footed female ghost!"
An old scholar, unable to bear the sight, rebuked, "The world is going to the dogs! People have lost their morals! How can they have such a taste? Don't they know what shame is?"
Someone chimed in: "Yeah, shameless. I always... go home and secretly watch behind closed doors."
"?"
Uncle Fu was somewhat disappointed; it seemed the man had left.
Just as he was walking away dejectedly, a young man's calm voice said, "Shopkeeper, my father invites you."
Looking at the family, dressed in patched clothes and with weathered faces, Uncle Fu asked uncertainly, "The Jade Feet Ghost?"
The women present, Li Niang, blushed slightly, while Shuang Shuang gave Chen Xian a strange look: "I didn't expect my husband to have such a peculiar hobby."
I looked at my feet as if by some strange impulse, and oh my god, they were filthy and stinky.
Quickly snap out of it.
Chen Xian decisively interrupted everyone's chaotic thoughts, looked at the Chen family members and said: "Family members, don't overthink it, I'm a respectable person."
