The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

"Okay then." Erbao drooped his little head, a little disappointed.

Thinking that there were other delicious foods, he suddenly became energetic again.

After hearing that Lin Xi said he wanted to fry the fish, Shen Chen simply went to the nearby river and used the river water to clean the mullet.

This kind of fish is also easy to handle. Shen Chen pinched the area under the head of the fish with his hands, and with a little force, he pulled out the inedible part inside, then washed it in the water, and one was ready.

He was fast and finished processing them all in a short time. He unexpectedly caught two more people passing by on the way, which made Erbao and the four of them very excited. They all looked at Shen Chen with starry eyes and admiration.

On the way back, Shen Chen was carrying the keg, and four children were jumping in front.

Of course, it’s mainly the second treasure.

Dabao is more stable and the third treasure is very obedient. Let the second treasure pull him, and the fourth treasure will obediently follow Dabao. When he hears the cry of the second treasure, he will pull Dabao and run over to play with him.

Lin Xi watched from behind and couldn't help but laugh.

She now understands why so many people want to have children.

Sometimes, children really look like little angels, and just looking at them will make you feel happy.

After finishing laughing, Lin Xi remembered the girl she met earlier and asked Shen Chen if she knew her.

Shen Chen replied: "I don't know him."

Lin Xi said: "You didn't even think about it. It's too perfunctory. Think about it carefully."

Shen Chen thought for a while and still said: "I don't know him."

Lin Xi was puzzled, "That girl seems to be from the same village. I have only been in Chenyang Village for a year, and you have been here longer than me. Why don't you know me yet?"

Shen Chen looked indifferent and said matter-of-factly: "I haven't paid attention to the women in the village."

Lin Xi: "..."

I understand, in the past twenty years that I have been working with Shen Chen, I have never looked at a woman. Is it true that if the original owner had not fallen into the water and relied on Shen Chen, Shen Chen would have been single to death?

Lin Xi turned around and glanced at Shen Chen's expressionless face, thinking that it was very possible!

Forget it, if you don’t know me, then you don’t know her. Maybe the girl recognized her by mistake? If we meet again later, she won’t know who she is.

"Then go back quickly and I'll fry fish for you tonight!"

Without thinking, Lin Xi pulled Shen Chen to chase the child in front of him.

In an instant, the unfamiliar soft touch made Shen Chen's expression slightly stiff, and he almost instinctively shook it off.

But Lin Xi's voice made Shen Chen suppress it with reason and calmness, and looked at Lin Xi who was pulling him away with strange eyes.

…

That night, Lin Xi wrapped the mullet fish in a batter made of eggs and noodles and then fried it. It was really delicious and golden in appearance. Dabao and the other four liked it very much, and Shen Chen also ate a lot.

After dinner, after the children had gone to bed, Lin Xi counted the money he earned during this period.

Including the money Shen Chen made from hunting and selling prey, it already amounted to more than thirty taels, which was so much that Lin Xi felt like he was dreaming.

She stopped Shen Chen who was about to enter the room: "Shen Chen, come here, I have something to discuss with you."

Shen Chen paused, glanced at her faintly, turned around, walked over and sat across from her.

"What's up?"

Lin Xi pointed at the money, "These days, you gave me the money to keep, and it's all here."

Shen Chen hummed.

Lin Xi said: "I'm thinking that if the things in the field come to an end, the wild vegetable business will have to stop for at most half a month. Even if it doesn't stop, the number of wild vegetables will decrease by then, and we won't be able to get the current income. I'll have to think of something else." Method."

After saying this, Lin Xi found that Shen Chen was looking at her without saying a word.

She was a little strange: "What's wrong?"

Shen Chen asked back: "Is this what you want to say?"

Lin Xi said, "Yes, otherwise what do you think I am going to say?"

Shen Chen was silent for a few seconds and said, "It's nothing, you continue."

Lin Xi looked at him inexplicably and said: "What I want to say is that although my family earns a lot now, the expenses are also very large. We cannot stop making money and have to find another way. So when I go to the county again in the next few days, I will If you stay a little longer and see if there are any other options, you won't come back so early."

Shen Chen nodded.

Lin Xi added: "Also, the weather is getting colder and colder now. It's not a problem to live in the current house forever. Shen Chen, if you have time, find someone who can repair the house to renovate it. There is also a charcoal fire, It’s cheaper if you buy it early. Overall, the money should be enough.”

If it wasn't enough, she sold the Ganoderma lucidum.

All in all, the house must be warm enough before winter comes!

Not to mention the children, she didn't want to be cold.

Shen Chen said: "Okay, leave this matter to me."

Lin Xi was satisfied. This is right, the two of them should divide the work and cooperate.

Lin Xi left the money on the table, stood up and said, "Then you have negotiated the price with me and told me that the tiles must be bought well. Okay, it's okay, I'm going to bed."

After saying that, Lin Xi returned to the house.

Shen Chen looked at the money on the table and calculated it in his mind.

The money for hiring workers to renovate the house and buying enough charcoal for the winter is a bit tight, but maybe just enough.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen turned his head and looked in the direction of Huming Mountain in the night.

…

Early the next morning, Lin Xi, who was used to getting up early, got up before Aunt Zhang and the others arrived, while Dabao was sleeping soundly after being tired for several days.

It just so happened that Lin Xi didn't plan to take Dabao with him these days.

If renovating the house is put on the agenda, it will cost a lot of money, and she has to find a way to provide it. Shen Chen is busy, and Dabao is also needed at this time to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

After Aunt Zhang and the others arrived, Lin Xi signaled to leave quietly so as not to wake up Dabao.

The early morning fog was thick and chilly. Aunt Zhang tightened her clothes and boasted: "Madam Shen, I really didn't expect a few days ago that Dabao, a child, could persist with us for so many days."

"No! I almost couldn't get up the morning before yesterday." Zhang Yu said embarrassedly.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Maybe Dabao follows Shen Chen the most."

"But, to be honest, I think Dabao looks nothing like Brother Shen." Zhang Ze scratched his head and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Zhang glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? There is no difference between father and son!"

Lin Xi was a little curious, "Aunt Zhang, I came to Chenyang Village late, so I don't know much about some things. Do you know who Shen Chen's original wife is?"

Zhang Ze and Zhang Yu were also aroused.

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I don't know. Shen Chen is quite pitiful. His parents died when he was only ten years old, and he had no relatives to help him. Then, he left Chen Chen Yangcun. He didn’t come back until a few years ago.”

Lin Xi was surprised.

Aunt Zhang was still very sad when she talked about it, saying: "At that time, he was lame and had two slightly older children, Dabao and Erbao. When others asked him, he only said that the child's mother was unfortunately not alive during the war. Already."

Lin Xi remembered that at that time, Qin Taizong probably came to power, and wars broke out frequently in the world, making him very uneasy. He was living in exile, so no wonder the child's mother was gone.
