When Chu Qi arrived at the outskirts of the rich man's house, she met the housekeeper and explained her purpose. The housekeeper readily paid her six months' wages and let her go.
Perhaps the "respected" background of the story played a role. The housekeeper was not like the common snob who exploited the poor peasants and did not make things difficult for Chu Qi at all.
This made her original plan of resolving the issue with her fists fail.
The monthly wage is twelve cents, which means seventy-two cents for half a year.
Can buy seventy-two steamed buns.
The rich can be extremely wealthy, while the poor can really die of poverty.
For someone like the original owner, who worked hard for a year, the hard-earned money might not even be enough for a meal for a rich man.
Chu Qi took her salary and felt sad for a second.
After bidding farewell to the housekeeper, she went into the mountains with the old cow.
The old cow, having tasted the sweetness, did not resist at all this time. It even took the initiative to follow in and help get the prey.
Chu Qi took the opportunity to hunt a lot more, including wild deer, sheep, rabbits, etc.
If she didn't want to be too conspicuous, she would even want to hunt the tiger back.
Tigers, especially living ones, can be sold to wealthy gentlemen for their enjoyment, and are much more valuable than selling their furs alone.
The old cow worked hard and carried back a full load of prey.
Arriving at the town in the afternoon, Chu Qi paid the entrance fee and spent ten copper coins to buy the temporary use rights of a stall. He spent the whole afternoon selling most of the hunted prey, leaving only five rabbits still alive.
She hung the live rabbit back on the old cow and took the fresh money to buy supplies, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and a lot of millet.
Ordinary people can eat meat if they are lucky.
Rice and white flour are things that only the powerful can eat. They will not be circulated on the market until productivity improves. Therefore, Chu Qi cannot buy them even if he has money.
In addition to food and drink, Chu Qi also bought a lot of ready-made clothes. The original owner's clothes were patched up and in tatters. They had even become very thin because they had been washed too many times and worn for too many years and had to be replaced.
When she returned home, it was already dark. Chu Qi took some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and three fat rabbits, ready to meet her brother and sister-in-law.
Of the three fat rabbits, one was naturally for the old cow to eat. It did the hard work of carrying the goods.
When I arrived at my brother and sister-in-law's house, I found them preparing dinner.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's make rabbit today. I also bought seasonings."
Chu Qi said.
Sun Shouzhong and Liu Hua had completely put aside their doubts when Chu Qi brought out so many game. There was no way their brother/brother-in-law would steal.
Because, in Shanghe Village, ordinary people don't raise wild rabbits.
It is also impossible to steal from a rich man, because the rich man's things are guarded by many people. If you want to steal, you must have three heads and six arms.
Obviously, Chu Qi doesn't have three heads and six arms, so it can only be attributed to his excellent hunting skills.
At the dinner table, Sun Shouzhong suggested that the old Lin family had a daughter who could marry Chu Qi.
He didn't even ask whether they wanted to meet, he just said that as long as he gave the three agreed hens, his daughter would marry him.
Liu Hua sighed, "That girl surnamed Lin is so miserable. Her mother died early, and the stepmother her father found is not a kind one. Her father doesn't care about her. She has to work at dawn every day and never has food to eat. She is still like a little girl at the age of 18, and no one wants to marry her."
At this point, Liu Hua felt a little embarrassed, as if she wanted her brother-in-law to help the poor. She added:
"Don't worry, little brother-in-law. After she gets married, her family promised to cut off all contact with her. With the government as a witness, they will never cling to you and disturb your life. I've seen the girl, she's pretty. Although she's a little thin, she has a gentle personality. She'll be a good wife if you raise her."
Poor family background and good looks?
Isn't this the person Chu Qi is looking for to be redeemed?
She decided: "Let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow."
Liu Hua wanted to say a few more words, but she didn't expect her brother-in-law to agree to meet so quickly. She was relieved at the moment: "Okay, we'll talk about everything after you meet."
The next day, Chu Qi, under Liu Hua's introduction, went to find Lin Ya, the daughter of the old Lin family.
Although her name is Lin Ya, it is not actually a name. It is just a combination of her surname and her nickname.
This girl was really thin and she was timid when she saw Chu Qi.
After a system scan, Chu Qi determined that Lin Ya met the conditions for salvation and determined that she was the one to be saved in this plane.
Lin Ya was brought home that day, and the government was visited to witness Lin Ya's departure from the Lin family. From then on, she belonged to Chu Qi.
In order to make things easier, Chu Qi gave the rabbits left over from yesterday to the official who was handling the matter. The speed of handling the matter instantly became as fast as a rocket, and the document was processed and stamped on the same day.
So on the third day of the time travel, Chu Qi had a wife, but this wife was rather thin and needed to be taken care of slowly. But it didn't matter, she had plenty of time and could take care of her slowly.
After bringing the people home, he couldn't let them live together in the cowshed, so Chu Qi first stayed at his brother's house for one night. The next day, he bought a residential plot from the government and began to build a house in a hurry.
Relying on his hunting skills, Chu Qi became a scholar.
He lived a happy life with his new wife.
