I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Hu Laoye from Yuanxiang Hall sent his daughter off, and the Hu and Zhao families naturally couldn't appear too shabby when forming an alliance.

Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu's arrival was completely different from Ning Xiangyue's three daughters. Not only did they bring a generous dowry, but they also brought many maids, servants, and kitchen staff.

However, the Chu family's courtyard had limited space, so they couldn't immediately accommodate so many people. Apart from two skilled kitchen staff members who took charge of the family's meals, the two new sisters-in-law each brought a maid to serve them, while the other servants temporarily stayed with Hu Laoye and the Zhao family, waiting for the Chu family's mansion to be purchased before making arrangements.

This made Ning Xiangyue's three daughters much more relaxed. In the past, they had to lend a hand with the three meals at the Chu family's house. It was impossible for them to manage on their own with just three little maids. Now, they were finally enjoying the life of a wealthy lady.

While the kitchen was still preparing breakfast, the whole family gathered in the main hall. The three old members warmly greeted the two new members, who were still a bit nervous. It was a harmonious scene.

However, as they were talking, Chen Xiu mentioned last night's incident and expressed some concern, "Husband, there was a thief incident next door last night, and Yangliu Lane has also become restless."

Chu Shen nodded, "I know about this. I didn't sleep last night and saw it."

Chen Xiu was surprised and looked at Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu. Were the new sisters-in-law really that capable? But when the incident happened next door, it seemed like there was no movement in the new house, right?

With the benefits of "Spiritual Baptism" and the most suitable cultivation method, Chen Xiu's three daughters were already able to sense spiritual energy and undergo the process of absorption and refinement in their cultivation. At this point, they were considered to be at the second level of Qi Refining.

Although they didn't have a transformation like Chu Shen's "Purifying Dust and Primordial Brilliance," which improved their aptitude and greatly accelerated their cultivation speed, they still received the nourishment of spiritual energy, which enhanced their senses.

It was impossible for them not to hear the commotion from last night.

"Don't pay attention to them. Those two delicate young ladies are exhausted after doing it twice. They sleep like logs and know nothing." Chu Shen casually remarked, causing Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu to blush.

Even though Zhao Chulu's temperament has changed after experiencing the world, she is still not accustomed to discussing such matters in front of others. The shyness she had as a young girl still exists.

The sight of their youthful appearance made Ning Xiangyue and the others burst into laughter, as if they were seeing their past selves.

"The neighbors are an elderly couple who usually run a small weaving business. They have always been low-key and kind to others. Recently, their grandchildren were sent to live with them temporarily by their distant children. They asked the elderly couple to take care of them, but they didn't expect to be targeted by thieves.

If it weren't for their alert maid who woke up in the middle of the night and discovered something was wrong, screaming and alerting the neighbors, who knows what terrible thing might have happened this morning!" Chen Xiu said with a concerned expression.

Chu Shen was also a bit angry. Thieves who target the elderly, weak, sick, and pregnant are truly despicable.

Zhao Chulu became more spirited after hearing about the incident. "After all, the situation is not good. I heard that some areas near Nanping City have suffered disasters again. A large number of disaster-stricken people have flocked to the surrounding prefectures and counties in order to survive.

Nanping City has been relatively stable with fewer disasters, but there have been many refugees coming in. According to a rough estimate from the household registration office, just in the past month, there have been over 3,000 refugees outside Nanping City. Adding those who have arrived before, it's probably close to 20,000!

With so many people without a place to settle, they will definitely cause trouble in order to survive, and it will only increase over time.

Moreover, Yangliu Lane is located in the west of the city, not the east."

Chen Xiu and Chen Ying, who have experienced disasters, exchanged a glance and felt a sense of sorrow. Their family members were lost in a previous epidemic, so they understand the plight of those refugees.

Similarly, they understand that people can do anything in desperate situations.

Chu Shen glanced at Zhao Chulu, surprised by her deep understanding of the situation. "Recently, we should all be more vigilant. The more unsettled people there are, the worse the public security will be. This is correct. Our family consists mostly of women, so we need to be especially cautious."

"I have already asked Yu Yazhi to take care of the new house matter. I don't mind spending money. We will look for a place in the east of the city. Once we find a suitable one, we will move there. We can hire some guards at that time, and the situation will be much better."

The women nodded in agreement.

"Hu...husband," Zhao Chulu, still not used to the new address, hesitated a bit before expressing her opinion. "In addition to moving to a safer place and hiring guards, we should stock up on food. Considering the current situation, the price of grain might rise. If we have enough food, we won't panic."

Chu Shen slapped his forehead, realizing his oversight. In Blue Star, there was always an abundant supply, and there was no need to worry about not being able to buy food. However, in Dongxuan Heaven, the social supply system was not as well-established. Once something happened, prices would definitely skyrocket.

"Chulu is right. We not only need to stock up on food, but also on other essential items. Let's all think about what we need and prepare them together."

Zhao Chulu's face turned slightly red with affirmation. She was very happy. Encouragement like this was rare in the Zhao family. The more she looked at Chu Shen, the more pleasing he became in her eyes.

On the side, Hu Chuanshan was somewhat surprised and secretly glanced at the sister beside him.

Yesterday, when she lost her innocence, she resisted like an injured female leopard. But today, she had become a soft little kitten?

While she was lost in her thoughts, breakfast was served one after another. Chu Shen considerately placed food in front of her and Zhao Chulu, saying, "You worked hard last night. Take this opportunity to replenish your energy. You can take a nap later and not overexert yourselves."

Hu Chuanshan felt both shy and surprised.

This gentleman suddenly appeared in her life, catching her off guard. But now, it seems... if it's him, it's not bad?

What surprised her even more was that there were no strict rules at the Chu family's dining table.

While it is a sign of good manners to eat without speaking and sleep without talking, it would be too boring if the whole family acted so seriously at the dining table.

Moreover, the Chu family is gradually expanding, and everyone is busy with their own cultivation or work, which means there are fewer opportunities for everyone to gather. Mealtime, when most people are present, naturally requires more communication.

Hu Chuanshan doesn't fully understand these reasons, but she does prefer this kind of atmosphere.

Zhao Chulu has similar thoughts.

The two newcomers seem to be integrating into the Chu family.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the house.

Chu Shen looked at the back gate.

The cleverest of the three little maids, Tao'er, had already gone to check the situation. She soon came back shouting, "Young Master, Young Master, the officials have surrounded the neighboring courtyard. They say they are looking for the traces of last night's thief!"
