Chapter 37

Cheng Yeran: "Who? Ah, you asked me about why I went out just now? Are you awake? I thought you were asleep. I didn't do anything just now. I couldn't sleep, so I went to the toilet. Then I went to our vegetable garden. Then I heard our chickens fighting, so I went to stop them from fighting. I didn't go out or look for others. What do you mean I bit her? Who else could I bite? Aren't others asleep? Go walk around the village now and see who else is awake. Go and see. If you see it, you're awesome."
Shen Yuntang felt more and more disheartened seeing him trying so anxiously to explain. He had long discovered that whenever Cheng Yeran was nervous, he would talk a lot.
It would have been fine if he hadn't explained it, but now Shen Yuntang completely believed that he had someone outside.
"How long have you been together?" Shen Yuntang asked him.
"How long have you been together?" Cheng Yeran felt that he was like a wife checking up on her husband, which was very oppressive. "I really don't have anyone outside. The scent you smelled on me just now was not because I was in the sensitive period, but because you were smelling whether I smelled feminine."
Cheng Yeran said this in a joking tone. After all, it was a bit funny to see a man being treated like a wife checking up on him by another man.
But after he asked the question and saw Shen Yuntang's serious expression, he couldn't laugh anymore. Shen Yuntang was really serious.
"Didn't you just smell my scent?
The wind
What came out? "Cheng Yeran asked him.
"There's no smell, but there might be people. Did you not see anyone when you went out today and were turned away?" Shen Yuntang came to this conclusion based on his expression.
"You seem to be possessed by a demon. What are you thinking about?" Cheng Yeran didn't understand why he suddenly became so serious. He was so serious that Cheng Yeran suspected that they were still recording the show.
Otherwise, they have been married for such a long time and usually get along like good brothers, how could he suddenly check on his wife like she was jealous?
"I really have no one, I swear to God!" Cheng Yeran raised his hand, "If there is someone else out there, I will die a miserable death."
"Shut up! Stop talking!" Although Shen Yuntang was angry that he had someone else outside, he was also afraid that he would really die. "Forget it, you can be with whoever you want outside. It has nothing to do with me!"
Cheng Yeran saw him pouting angrily, turning over and lying down heavily, and then covering himself with the quilt tightly. It was obvious that he was angry, and sleeping when angry was not good for the body. He went over to continue explaining to him that there was really no one else, and he couldn't find anyone else in the village who was better looking than Shen Yuntang. As a result, Shen Yuntang became even angrier, and told him to shut up and not say anything else.
"Who cares who you like? Even if you like the yellow dog at the entrance of the village, it has nothing to do with me." Shen Yuntang felt annoyed when he heard his voice. He hated his lies repeated over and over again in his ears.
"But didn't the yellow dog at the entrance of the village go crazy a few days ago? There are so many mad dogs in our village, and we have to vaccinate them." Cheng Yeran thought, if he was sure that he had really traveled through time, he could buy some rabies vaccines and vaccinate all the dogs in the village.
He thought about this for five minutes. When he came to his senses, Shen Yuntang was already quiet. He called Shen Yuntang twice in a low voice. Seeing that Shen Yuntang did not respond, he must have fallen asleep. He stopped annoying others and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day there was another cold war. He didn't understand why Shen Yuntang always had a cold war with him.
But there is one good thing. Shen Yuntang didn't hit him or scold him during the cold war with him. He just did what he was supposed to do and didn't delay anything. Except for not talking to him, everything was good.
It's just that not talking to him makes him feel lonely, but based on the experience of the previous cold wars, Shen Yuntang will pay attention to him in a few days.
This time the cold war was a little different. Their sleeping positions changed at night. In the past, Shen Yuntang slept inside, but now he slept outside. It seemed that they were afraid that he would go out in the middle of the night and he would not know. If he slept outside, Shen Yuntang would notice him as soon as he left.
He was still counting the days, and he wasn't going to buy anything until he was sure whether he was traveling through time.
He was still thinking about one thing. If he was sure that he had traveled through time, should he tell Shen Yuntang? If Shen Yuntang knew about this, would he be scared to death?
Although Shen Yuntang usually looks mature and knows a lot, he is actually quite naive and timid. If he knew that he came from another world, he would probably be scared to tears.
It’s better to keep it a secret. Other time travelers kept it a secret after traveling through time. There is a reason for what everyone does, so you can definitely do the same.
That morning, when they opened the shop and made tofu, Shen Yunfeng came over. He also often came to buy tofu.
Although Xia Xiaowu always beat him up on the excuse of his preference for Cheng Yeran, his mother-in-law always asked him to come to Cheng's house to buy tofu.
My mother-in-law said that Shen Yuntang is his cousin and Cheng Yeran is his brother-in-law. Does it cost money for a family to eat a piece of tofu? Even if you spend money, it will be half the price.
Originally, a piece of tofu was very cheap at one penny, but the mother-in-law still wanted to take advantage of it. Every time she gave him one penny, she asked him to take two pieces of tofu home.
He knew that his cousin would never give him any advantage, but for the sake of face, he always used his dowry to supplement the money.
Every time he came to buy tofu, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Cheng Yeran being so nice to his cousin.
Especially when I entered this familiar yard, I felt even more uncomfortable.
It was obvious that when he lived here in his previous life, the house and yard were all in tatters, but in this life, the door has been repaired, the wall has been patched, and even the windows have been replaced with new ones. Every time I see him, I get jealous to the point of going crazy. In his previous life, his uncle saw that he was living such a hard life and didn't even bother to repair the door for him, but in this life, he repaired it for Shen Yuntang. It turns out that if he is not a biological son, then he doesn't care about him.
When he bought tofu, he couldn't help but scold Shen Yuntang: "You're already married, but you still ask your parents for money. You're such a loser. It's not easy for your uncle to do carpentry work. You always bother him. How much work can he do with the time he has wasted? Unlike me, I never bother my uncle. A few days ago, my mother-in-law said that something at home was broken, but I didn't ask my uncle for help. I would rather be scolded than be a loser."
In fact, he went to find his uncle and asked for a favor, but did not mention any money. However, his uncle was too busy, so he did not go. He was scolded by his mother-in-law, who also said that his nephew was just not good enough. If he married Shen Yuntang, it would be different. If his in-laws had any problems, they would definitely come to help for free and would not refuse.
Now that Shen Yunfeng saw his uncle repairing things for the Cheng family, he felt even more unbalanced.
Shen Yuntang didn't expect him to mention this. He thought about how his mother-in-law in his previous life always scolded him for this kind of thing. She wanted to ask his father for help but he didn't give her money. However, he didn't want his father to be so tired, so he would rather be scolded than ask his father for help. In this life, his cousin took the initiative to snatch the mother-in-law away from him, so he had to endure any hardship he had to endure, and he couldn't blame others.
"You can also trouble Dad, just give me money. My family paid for repairing these things. I didn't give a penny less than what others charged." Shen Yuntang retorted bluntly.
"You gave money? Your own father also accepts money? Why don't I believe it?" Shen Yunfeng was caught off guard by his cousin's answer and said directly what he was thinking.
"My dear father also has to settle accounts clearly. After all, I have become independent now. It's not good to let my father suffer." Shen Yuntang gave him some concessions, hoping that he would leave quickly. He and his cousin had been enemies since they were reborn and his cousin tricked him into being bitten by a mad dog.
Although the final result was good, he avoided being bitten by a dog and Cheng Yeran was also a good husband, but the result had nothing to do with Shen Yunfeng. It could only be said that he was lucky and he had to make enemies. He didn't want to see Shen Yunfeng even once more.
Shen Yunfeng felt frustrated with him and was not convinced at all. He didn't want to leave at all and he had to win the argument to feel satisfied.
His eyes rolled, and he remembered something else. "In two months, I will have to do corvée service again. It happens every three years, and every male in the family must be sent to serve. This will take several months, and your husband is the only one in your family. What will you do if he leaves?"
Shen Yunfeng sighed and pretended to be worried and said: "Did I bring up your sad story? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. My husband is a scholar, and the whole family is exempted from corvée. We can't go to serve the country. If your family is rich, it's easy. If you don't participate in corvée, you have to pay five taels of silver. You usually spend so much money, I'm afraid you don't have five taels of silver, what should I do?"
Shen Yunfeng still remembered that in his previous life, the lazy man was always lazy when he went to perform labor service, so he was beaten by the manager and became ill. After he came back, his health became worse day by day. Even if Cheng Yeran became diligent this time, he would still be exhausted.
He expected what happened in his previous life to happen again. No matter how good Cheng Yeran was to his cousin, after returning from this labor service, Cheng Yeran would be a sickly person and would be destined to be a widow.
Shen Yuntang wanted to beat him up when he saw his hypocritical look. He knew about corvée labor. In the past, his brothers took turns to go, and they were exhausted every time. Cheng Yeran had never gone before because he was not old enough, but this year he was just old enough. Their family now had only three taels of silver at most, so what should they do?
He was so anxious that he didn't know how to confront Shen Yunfeng. Just at this moment, Cheng Yeran handed over a silver hairpin from behind and asked Shen Yunfeng, "Do you think it's worth five taels of silver?"
Shen Yunfeng took a look and his eyes widened. How could this be in his hand? Could it be that in this life, Cheng Yeran bought me and gave me to my cousin?
His lips turned pale as he said, "Two or three taels at most."
Cheng Yeran raised his eyebrows. "I think it's worth at least five taels. It weighs five or six taels, not counting the labor cost. I didn't expect you didn't recognize this hairpin?"
Shen Yunfeng was frightened. Why did he ask this? He remembered that he had done this to the lazy man in his previous life. Could it be that the lazy man was also reborn and asked him this on purpose? No wonder the lazy guy's personality changed drastically.
He shook his head in panic: "I don't recognize it."
"It's okay. It's normal not to recognize you." Cheng Yeran put the hairpin away. Now he knew that Xia Xiaowu wanted to use the hairpin to deceive Shen Yuntang that day, but he found an excuse after seeing through it.
"What do you mean?" Shen Yunfeng always felt that something was wrong.
Cheng Yeran gave him a business-like smile: "It's nothing."
