Chapter 302: Being a Guest



Zhou Ziwen was going to Master Chen's house, so Chen Qiaoyi naturally had to follow him.

Chen Shiying thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Although she is not Zhou Ziwen's daughter-in-law, they are actually husband and wife. In fact, she is also Zhou Ziwen's daughter-in-law.

But she, as a daughter-in-law, is a bit shady.

As a traditional woman, being with Zhou Ziwen went against her principles.

But I don’t know where the love comes from, it’s so deep.

She was already trapped and couldn't get out.

But since she and Zhou Ziwen were already married, she was willing to follow his lead.

Women in this era, once they set their sights on a man, they will stick with him forever, no matter how bad he is.

Many couples even get married without ever meeting each other.

There are quite a few such cases, and they are also very common in Dabazi Village.

I heard from the villagers that once people reach the age of marriage, they will generally inquire about which family nearby is of the same age, and then they will inquire about the other party's diligence, ability to work, how many people are in the family, etc.

If they are satisfied, they will ask a matchmaker to come to their house, and then the heads of the two families will contact each other.

If both parties feel it's appropriate, then it's done.

As for the opinions of the parties involved, those who are more open-minded may listen to them, but if they encounter strong parents, they will not care about what they think at all.

In the eyes of these old people, as long as the daughter-in-law is filial and capable, she is a good daughter-in-law.

In fact, in rural areas, beautiful girls like the Chen sisters are not popular.

After all, beauty cannot be eaten. In the eyes of the villagers, educated youth like them are useless and will just eat for free if they are married.

In the countryside, a woman with a thick waist and strong body is considered a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the villagers.

It’s not that the villagers don’t know what beauty is, it’s just that the reality doesn’t allow it.

Moreover, they were more familiar with the educated youth and knew that these intellectuals were quite picky. Even if they wanted to marry them, they might not be willing to do so!

As long as the educated youth still have hope of returning to the city, they will never get married in the countryside.

Of course, special circumstances are excluded.

For example, unable to bear the hardships of life, they choose to marry local people in the countryside and live a good life.

Some people like this have an easy life, while others don't.

After all, once you get married, you become the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. If your mother-in-law is not satisfied with you, you will suffer.

Here, Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters packed up a little, left Tayun at home and went out.

Zhou Ziwen did not go there empty-handed. He also brought two kilograms of badger meat.

He originally wanted to take more, but when he thought that Master Chen probably wouldn't accept too much, he gave up the idea.

In terms of social skills, he has two lifetimes of experience. Although many of the experiences from his previous life are not very applicable in this era, he is more mature than his peers because of his experience.

They arrived at Master Chen's house. His wife was just about to cook when she saw Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters coming. She smiled on the spot.

"Oh, what pretty girls! Which one of you is Little Chen and which one is Big Chen?" The master's wife stepped forward and took the hands of the two sisters, too happy to let go.

Hearing the name Da Chen, Chen Shiying's eyes flashed with helplessness, but she still spoke politely, "Auntie, I'm Da Chen, and she's Xiao Chen."

"Oh, you two look so alike that I can't recognize you." The master's wife said with some annoyance.

In fact, this was not the first time she had seen them. After she knew that Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi were dating, she had specially found an opportunity to see them, but she just never had the chance to talk about it.

"Yeah, many people can't tell us apart." Chen Shiying agreed with a smile.

The three of them chatted and laughed, leaving Zhou Ziwen aside.

Zhou Ziwen had no choice but to turn his gaze to Master Chen who was smoking.

"Why did you think of me here?"

Master Chen's words left Zhou Ziwen speechless. He found that everyone who was close to him would say this as their first reaction when they saw him.

"Haha, I came to see Master." Zhou Ziwen smiled and raised the badger meat in his hand. "Yesterday, I went up the mountain with the guards and got some meat. I brought some over for Master so that you and Master's wife can have a taste."

"Keep it for yourself. I'm an old man, what kind of meat should I eat? Remember to take it back later."

"What kind of meat haven't I tasted? I even ate giant insects back in the day!"

Master Chen waved his hand and refused directly.

He is not so old that he can't walk, so why does he need his apprentice's filial piety?

"Have you ever eaten tiger meat?" Zhou Ziwen suddenly became interested.

As for taking the meat back, he had long ignored it.

Now that you have taken it, there is no reason to take it back.

"That's it."

Zhou Ziwen's words hit the nail on the head for Master Chen. He pretended to be indifferent, but his tone of voice was extremely proud.

"I remember it was about seven or eight years ago! At that time, someone on Niutou Mountain spotted a tiger. Fearing it might hurt someone, the production team discussed it and decided to get rid of it."

"Then what?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.

"Then the guard team went up the mountain. I remember that it was Wang Hongbing and Liu Si who led the team. The tiger was killed by Wang Hongbing."

Master Chen took two puffs of his pipe and said with a look of emotion.

He remembered that many of the people who went to fight the tiger were injured. One of them had a piece of flesh torn off his thigh. If he had not been rescued in time, he might have died.

But because the injury was quite serious, he couldn't do heavy work after recovering, and even walked with a limp.

Naturally, due to health problems, he withdrew from the guard corps. Later, he could not bear the blow and died within a few years.

However, he did not tell Zhou Ziwen about this, so as not to affect his mood.

“It really matched.”

When Zhou Ziwen heard that the tiger was killed by Wang Hongbing, he immediately understood.

Liu Si talked about this with him yesterday.

But Liu Si was a little unconvinced at the time, thinking that Wang Hongbing had gotten an advantage. If he had not been accidentally injured, he would have been the one who killed the tiger.

You know, Wang Hongbing became the captain of the guard team by killing a tiger.

"What matched?" asked Master Chen.

"It's about Liu Si and his men beating the tiger..." Zhou Ziwen recounted what Liu Si said yesterday.

"He's not wrong, but everyone has their own destiny. Liu Si is not destined to be a team leader." Master Chen sighed.

In fact, Liu Si did have the opportunity to become the captain, but Wang Hongbing was also not bad, and he even killed the tiger.

After so many years, Wang Hongbing has been able to sit firmly in the position of guard captain, which is impossible without some ability.

"Yeah." Zhou Ziwen nodded.

Although he doesn't believe in fate, sometimes he has to believe in it.

For example, he can travel to this era and has an auto-switch panel.

And aren’t these also fate?

"By the way, I heard that you beat someone up today?"

At this moment, Master Chen suddenly asked. (End of this chapter)
