In his previous life, Lin Chen was very depressed because he did not consummate his marriage with Jiang Ning on their wedding night.
Lin Tao took advantage of his bad mood, used various forms of manipulation against him, and with the addition of the letter of complaint he wrote, successfully got him to give him the job of militia company commander.
“Jiang Zhiqing doesn’t like you anyway, and you’re working so far away from her every day, how are you going to develop a relationship with her!”
"Neither of us brothers earns money without contributing to the family!"
In reality, Lin Tao spent all the money he earned on eating, drinking, and gambling, and the money used at home came from Lin Chen's savings.
Lin Chen had no choice but to make money by hunting in the mountains and trading on the black market to improve the lives of Jiang Ning and the others.
In this life, Jiang Ning would naturally not allow such a thing to happen. The spiritual spring water she gave him to drink was enough to remove the red spots on his legs.
"Everyone, disperse." Lin Chen dismissed the onlookers.
After everyone left, he punched Lin Tao in the chest:
"You know why I threw that punch. From now on, we're no longer friends!"
Lin Tao clutched his chest, glaring at him angrily, but ultimately refrained from arguing because of his guilty conscience.
Lin Chen glanced at Lin Zhou Shi, who was slumped in her chair, and said coldly:
"Since things have come to this, let's divide up the food in the house. I still need to make breakfast!"
What else can be done? There's no point in her dying now!
"Wake up Baojia!" Lin Zhoushi shouted angrily at Yu Xiaofeng.
She was too biased. A fifty-year-old man, with such a big thing happening in the family, could still sleep like a pig, snoring so loudly it could lift the roof off.
Yu Xiaofeng entered the house and slapped Lin Baojia across the face.
Lin Baojia suddenly woke up with a start, "What's going on? What's going on? An earthquake?"
"Earthquake my ass! It's Lin Chen who's making a fuss about splitting up the family. He's going to live on his own now." Yu Xiaofeng grabbed his ear, gritting her teeth.
Think about it, she used to be the most beautiful girl in the village, how could she be so blind as to fall for this good-for-nothing man!
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... Fine, let's split it... What? Did you take any of Mom's money?"
Hearing him say that, Yu Xiaofeng felt a little comforted. This man was lazy and greedy, but at least he was on the same page as her.
She told him the details of the family division, and then told him to get up quickly and divide the family's grain in half.
Lin Baojia lazily put on his pants, muttering to himself:
"What's the point of dividing it? We don't have much food at home. There are four people on each side, so let's just divide it equally into two portions."
Soon, the grain was distributed: 150 catties of millet, 36 catties of rice, 3 catties of flour, and 120 catties of sweet potatoes for each family. This was all the food they needed.
It's the time for double harvesting now. After we finish delivering the grain to the state, the team will distribute the new grain. Everyone will get their own share then, and we won't have to get involved anymore.
After breakfast, everyone except Grandma Lin went to work.
Wang Xiufen was also getting ready to go to work when Lin Chen stopped her.
"Mom, you're getting old. You shouldn't go to work anymore. Just stay home and do some housework."
After making the arrangements, Wang Xiufen also told Lin Qiao that she didn't need to think about going to work. She should help her mother with chores in her spare time and read more books in her spare time so that she could go to high school in September.
As for Jiang Ning, he was even more reluctant to let her do any work and wanted her to stay at home and rest more.
"Alright, you should go report to the commune now, it's getting late." Jiang Ning saw the reluctance in his eyes, cupped his face, and pecked him on the lips.
Lin Chen's eyes were dark, and his voice was hoarse: "Not enough."
He grabbed the back of her head with his large hand and pulled her into a deep kiss.
A few minutes later, he released the delicate beauty who had slumped in his arms, and whispered hoarsely in her ear:
"Wait for me to come back."
As Lin Chen left, she stared at his retreating figure for a long time.
Until Lin Qiao teased her from behind:
"Sister-in-law, brother has already left. He's really a newlywed; he can't bear to leave you for even a moment."
She slowly turned around, her face calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.
It's the bliss of newlyweds, and also decades of mutual support and companionship!
In this life, she will not let history repeat itself.
Jiang Ning chatted with Lin Qiao for a while, then deliberately announced loudly that she had gone to the educated youth settlement.
Because the wedding was rushed, she hasn't yet retrieved her belongings from the educated youth settlement.
She left under Lin Zhou's vicious gaze, but entered the space around the corner.
She has already experimented and discovered that the space not only has storage functions, but also mobility functions.
In other words, she can go anywhere invisible, but at the same speed as outside, and can also use transportation inside.
Lin Zhou was sitting in the main room, passing the time by sewing shoe soles, when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blow past her. She looked up blankly, but her presbyopia prevented her from seeing anything.
Jiang Ning found the money the old lady had hidden in the crack in the wall without much effort.
There was a thick stack of them, and she didn't even count them before putting them all into her spatial storage.
In the cloth bag where she kept the money, there were also some dirty, jade-like green stones, which she took without hesitation.
After receiving the money, she walked a long way before emerging from the space and heading towards the educated youth settlement.
The educated youth settlement was located next to the brigade headquarters. It used to be a family home, but later that family built another house, and the adobe house was sold to the brigade to be used as an educated youth settlement.
Anyway, not many educated youth came to Chayuan Village, only seven or eight in total, and now there are five left. Three rooms are enough for them to stay in.
She went to her old room and took everything out of the closet, placing it on the bed to take inventory.
The money and coupons were all still there, but the food was almost gone.
She remembered eating only one piece of the peach shortbread from the bag, but now there were only two left.
