After taking a shower and changing into the clean underwear brought by Lin Xiuqin, Chen Wang felt even stronger sense of belonging to this home.
Isn't marrying such a beautiful and virtuous wife his ultimate dream before his reincarnation when he was a slave for the capitalists?
Life is a bit hard now, but he believes that with his own abilities, he can give his sister and wife a good life.
So, we still have to enter this mountain.
The skills he mastered regarding the Internet and computers are of no use in this era!
There is nowhere to go if you want to be a slave.
"Wife, please sit down. I'll bring you some water."
Chen Wang smiled and held Lin Xiuqin's shoulders, gently pushing her to sit down on the chair.
Lin Xiuqin came to her senses from her daze and made a move to stand up.
"Don't move! I'll do it!"
Chen Wang gave the order in a pretended serious tone.
Lin Xiuqin pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at him somewhat at a loss.
Chen Wang quickly went to fetch a basin of water. Thinking that girls prefer warmer water when bathing, he added a little cold water.
"Come, wife, let me rub your feet too."
Squatting down and placing the basin at her feet, Chen Wang said with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin blushed and shook her head, and she stepped back.
"Come on, you just washed my feet. I am not stupid anymore. I just want to thank you. You have worked hard over the past few years, my wife."
Chen Wang said softly.
Lin Xiuqin's body trembled slightly and her eyes became a little moist.
Although she was mute, her parents and siblings were very protective of her before she got married.
After marrying into the Chen family, she only had a few months of good life before her parents-in-law passed away one after another, leaving behind her young sister-in-law and her stupid husband. She had to take care of everything at home and outside the family.
In the past two years, he has told his mother's family many times that life is not hard or tiring, but in fact, they were all lies.
It doesn't matter if life is a little hard or a little tiring. There are too many families suffering these days.
The most painful thing is that there is no hope.
Now her husband has turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only is he no longer stupid, he also feels sorry for her.
At this moment, she just felt that everything she had done was worth it.
Although she still had some doubts about the change in her silly husband, she didn't want to think too much about it and just thought that her parents-in-law were blessing them in heaven.
She let Chen Wang take off her cotton shoes and socks, and slowly put her delicate little feet into the warm water.
"Wife? How is it? Are you comfortable?"
Chen Wang was serving diligently, looking up and asking with a smile.
Lin Xiuqin blushed and nodded shyly.
Silly Awang has the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child and doesn't understand anything about matters between men and women.
Lin Xiuqin was only a 20-year-old girl, so she didn't have the nerve to take the initiative. She was even a little afraid of matters between men and women.
Therefore, although they have been married for two years, they are not actually husband and wife. They just sleep in the same bed.
This was the first time that Lin Xiuqin had experienced someone kneading and massaging her feet.
It is quite comfortable, but I’m a little uncomfortable and it’s so embarrassing!
"Wife, I want to discuss something with you! That is, can you agree to let me go into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs? I want to make money so that you and your sister can live a good life."
At this point, Chen Wang looked up and saw Lin Xiuqin with a stern face and her almond eyes glaring at him angrily.
"Hey, don't be angry first, just listen to me."
"Look, I'm not stupid anymore. As a grown man, I have to find something to support my family, right? Otherwise, you have to work hard on your own? What will the villagers say about me then?"
"I know you're scared, father. It was a natural disaster, an accident, fate. We can't dwell on it. Every year, there are so many people in the village who go into the mountains to hunt and collect herbs. Are they all safe?"
"I'll find someone with hunting experience to go with me. As long as we're well prepared, there will be no problem. You have to trust your man!"
Listening to his well-organized words, Lin Xiuqin's expression gradually softened and she looked thoughtful.
Chen Wang didn't say anything more and waited for her to think it over.
After a while, Lin Xiuqin suddenly bent down, picked up the towel in the basin and wrung it dry, then quickly wiped the water stains on her feet, put on her cotton shoes and went to the front room.
"Wife, where are you going?"
Chen Wang hurriedly followed.
Arriving at the front room where her parents had lived before, Lin Xiuqin opened the cabinet inside the bed and rummaged around, then took out a bamboo medicine basket.
"This is... what my father left behind?"
Chen Wang asked in surprise.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded, handed him the medicine basket, and pointed at the basket to indicate that there was something inside.
Chen Wang turned the medicine basket upside down with great anticipation, and the things inside fell onto the wooden bed with a crackling sound.
These are tools for collecting herbs.
A pair of scissors, a spatula, a knife with a sheath, and a pair of rubber gloves.
Some herbal plants can easily cause punctures or even allergies when picked, so protective gloves are required.
What made Chen Wang most curious was a yellowed booklet.
Chen Wang picked up the booklet, opened it and took a look, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
The booklet records some precious medicinal herbs in the mountains, expressed in the form of simple drawings and text. Each page records one herb, including its main characteristics, medicinal effects, where it likes to grow, how to pick and preserve it intact, etc.
There are several styles of patterns and texts in the booklet, which should be the life-long accumulation of several herbalists, including his father.
Now that I have written down the contents of this booklet, I will not fail to recognize the precious medicine when I encounter it.
"Wife, my dad went to the mountains to collect herbs before. He must have brought some weapons for self-defense, right? Don't we have guns at home?"
Chen Wang asked again.
Lin Xiuqin was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something and started gesturing quickly.
Seeing Chen Wang's puzzled look, she took out a small notebook and a pen from her pocket and quickly wrote a few words on it for him to see.
"Yes, it was borrowed by my uncle's cousin?"
Chen Wang looked at the beautiful words on it and read them out loud subconsciously.
Lin Xiuqin nodded vigorously.
It is her habit to always carry a small notebook and pen in her pocket to communicate with others when necessary.
"When did you borrow it, and why haven't you returned it?"
Chen Wang asked again.
Lin Xiuqin quickly wrote down two sentences again.
"Not long after my parents passed away."
"I went to ask for it several times, and they said the gun was gone."
"Can't find it? Bullshit!"
Chen Wang sneered.
In Silly Awang's memories and emotions, he was very disgusted and resistant to his uncle's family.
This family is typical of those who despise the poor and love the rich, and like to take advantage of others.
When Silly Awang's parents were still alive, they lived a good life. Father Chen often brought back some game and valuable medicinal herbs from the mountains, and his uncle's family tried to please them in every way possible and get some benefits.
After my parents left, my uncle's family's attitude immediately changed drastically. They stopped visiting us during the holidays, as if they were afraid of being dragged down by them.
