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

Lin Xi was very interested in Shen Chen's early background, and then asked: "What about the three treasures and the four treasures?"

Aunt Zhang felt weird talking about her first wife in front of her current wife, and couldn't help but ask: "Lin Xi, do you mind?"

"What's the big deal?"

She is just gossiping about the villain, just listen to it.

Zhang Ze and Zhang Yu looked at each other in admiration and said: "Sister Lin, you are so generous!"

Lin Xi: "...Huh?"

Aunt Zhang continued: "The Three Treasures were given by a young man about a year after Shen Chen lived in Chenyang Village. It is said that he was the posthumous son of Shen Chen's former wife. He was lost for a long time before he was found. The details are not clear. .And the four treasures are children that Shen Chen picked up on the road one day when he went out hunting."

Speaking of the four treasures, Aunt Zhang sighed.

She likes Si Bao the best.

"There was a famine that year, and many people died on the way to escape the famine, including Si Bao's parents. Seeing that Si Bao was pitiful, Shen Chen took Si Bao back and raised him. To be honest, he was a grown man who raised Si Bao. It’s really not easy to have a child, so the child’s father and I help out when we have time.”

After saying that, Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Xi, took her hand and said sincerely: "Lin Xi, Aunt Zhang can see that you are really different from before. No matter how you say it, you and Shen Chen have already passed. The couple on the official road will always support each other and live better and better, so don't think about the past."

Lin Xi really didn't expect that the Four Treasures were not Shen Chen's biological children.

On weekdays, she found Shen Chen to be the most patient with the four treasures and the nicest-looking, but he was a bit rough with the three boys.

Lin Xi sighed with emotion: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I just want to be nice to the children now, and I don't think about anything else."

If things get worse, she will really have to take the blame for the original owner!

While walking, Lin Xi suddenly felt something was wrong and suddenly stopped and looked back.

Zhang Ze noticed: "Sister Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Xi looked around, but there was no one there.

It's strange, why did she feel like someone was looking at her just now?

After a few more glances, Lin Xi withdrew his gaze and said, "It's okay, maybe it's my misunderstanding. Let's get on our way."

Even though he said this, Lin Xi was still a little unsure.

Generally speaking, her feelings are quite accurate.

It's better to be a little more defensive.

Lin Xi took Aunt Zhang and the others on a detour, first into the nearby mountains, and then around to Huming Mountain.

Aunt Zhang and the others were full of doubts about Lin Xi's move, but they trusted Lin Xi and after asking a few questions, they stopped asking and followed her.

When I went to the county in the afternoon, nothing unusual happened.

Lin Xi thought that it might really be his illusion.

But she still cautiously took a detour for a few days. It wasn't until the fourth day, when she was sure that nothing was wrong, that she resumed her original route with confidence.

At the same time, Shen Chen also found workers to repair the house and bought tiles and bricks.

The tiles cost 20 cents each, and they needed about 1,700 tiles to renovate them. Plus extra spares, the cost was about four taels.

Lin Xi proposed the bricks and stones. She wanted to build a new fence around the house and make it 30 meters high to prevent thieves, so that the four children would be safer even if they were at home.

Bricks and stones are more expensive than tiles, with a piece costing 30 taels. For the number of walls built plus renovations, the cost is 89 taels, not counting the repair costs.

Shen Chen also bought enough charcoal for the fire, but because he had to repair the house, he might not have time to store it, so he made an appointment with the host's family to deliver it after a while.

That night, Lin Xi and Shen Chen finished their calculations and realized something was wrong: "Hey, why is there still some left? Shen Chen, didn't you include the workers' wages?"

When Shen Chen was looking for someone, Lin Xi made it clear that a new house must be built as a kitchen. Otherwise, the original kitchen would leak air and it would be very cold in the winter.

The utility room also needs to be enlarged, and there is almost no room for things in it. Even if the things are moved out and placed in the kitchen, it is not enough.

Adding up the bits and pieces, those thirty or so taels should be used very nervously.

Maybe, it will be used up directly.

But Lin Xi believes that it is most important to build a complete residence first, and then slowly make money.

Shen Chen said: "The workers we hired don't need to pay."

"ah??"

Shen Chen explained: "I have helped these people before, and they owe me a favor, so I will pay them back this time."

So that’s it.

Lin Xi said: "Then we can't let them work in vain. Let's do this. If they really want to repay the favor, they can pay less."

Shen Chen was silent for a few seconds and said, "I listen to you."

Lin Xi pushed back the remaining money, along with the income of the past few days, and said: "Don't worry. Have you forgotten that I still have Ganoderma lucidum? You won't really be short of money. I will sell it for the family expenses these days." I have enough money for wild vegetables. I will soon find other jobs."

Shen Chen glanced at her and nodded.

Lin Xi went to bed with peace of mind.

The next morning, Lin Xi and Aunt Zhang went out early.

What Lin Xi wanted to get was the medicinal materials she was most familiar with. She planned to go deep into Huming Mountain to find some medicinal materials after digging the wild vegetables early.

They took the original road. However, when they left the village, Li Shuisheng came out of the village.

He looked at Lin Xi and his party and was very surprised.

Ever since he agreed to Fang Xing'er, he has been looking for opportunities to get close to Lin Xi.

Shen Chen was well-known in the village. He knew that Shen Chen had a habit of going out hunting in the morning. He wanted to wait for Shen Chen to leave and find Lin Xi when he went out again.

But what he never expected was that Lin Xi was the one who went out early, while Shen Chen was at home taking care of the children.

The village chief's family members were also traveling with him. Li Shuisheng followed but lost track of him several times.

It wasn't until yesterday that he discovered that they were digging wild vegetables, and they dug a lot.

Because the village chief's family was all there, Lin Xi did not return to the village after leaving, but went to the county. He did not have a chance to find Lin Xi alone.

But judging from the situation in the past few days, they have been digging wild vegetables. Are they planning to go to the county to sell them for money?

How much is a little wild vegetable worth?

"No, even Aunt Zhang is involved, there must be something weird in it! Maybe they are doing something else!"

Li Shuisheng thought about it and decided to follow the whole process today to find out what they were going to do!

After making up his mind, Li Shuisheng immediately followed.

…

Lin Xi delivered goods to Keyun Tower in the county as usual today. After clearing the settlement, he was about to leave when Zhao Dequan stopped Lin Xi.

"Miss Lin, starting from tomorrow, please supply less goods."

Lin Xi stopped and asked politely: "Is there a problem with the sales?"

After working together for a long time, Zhao Dequan did not hide it, and readily admitted: "No matter how good the food is, you will get tired of it after eating it for a long time. If there is no freshness, fewer people will buy it."

Lin Xi understood and asked: "According to Zhao's opinion, how much reduction is appropriate?"

Zhao Dequan thought carefully and pointed out five fingers: "Fifty pounds."

"What? Lose so much all at once?!"

When Zhang Ze next to him heard this, he was dumbfounded and immediately became a little anxious.
