Chapter 4: Feeling of powerlessness
Jiang Chuan didn't waste words.
He had a lot of Xuan Crystals.
With so many secondary professions, any one of them could make him a lot of money.
"Sister-in-law, of these 20,000 Xuan Crystals, 10,000 will be used to pay off her debts, 5,000 will be used as a betrothal gift, and the remaining 5,000 will be used as your hard work fee."
"Of course, it's okay if she refuses. At worst, we can just find another one."
Sister-in-law Wang rolled her eyes at him.
"You're so polite to your sister-in-law. And do you think 5,000 Xuan Crystals are pocket money?"
"Even a wealthy family can't use so much to marry a wife."
"What's more, you paid off her debt of 10,000 Xuan Crystals, and you took a concubine."
As she said that, she took out 1,000 Xuan Crystals from it.
"Take these 9,000 back. The remaining 500 will be used as a betrothal gift. The labor fee of 500 Xuan Crystals is enough for me."
"Of course, if you are willing to pay with your body, Jiang Brother, I will be happier."
Jiang Chuan's old legs trembled on the blue brick floor, and he almost fell into the river.
This girl is really...
He squinted at the unreliable old comrade Wang.
His eyes seemed to say, look at your ability, you can't even handle your own wife, no wonder your family status is so low.
Old Wang pretended not to see it.
This kind of thing can't be blamed on him.
How old is he now.
You are not young anymore, how come you are still so strong?
"Okay, sister, I will tell you about this matter now. Wait, I will give you good news tomorrow."
He got up and was about to leave.
Old Wang saw it and immediately got angry.
"Madam, what about my dinner?"
Mrs. Wang turned around and glared at him, saying unhappily.
"Humph, can't you go out to eat by yourself! The slutty fox across the street has been thinking about you all the time."
He left without looking back.
Old Wang's eyelids twitched.
Can this be blamed on him?
The tofu beauty across the street obviously fell in love with this Jiang, and it had nothing to do with him.
Didn't you see that every time they went to eat noodles, she would give him extra ingredients?
He glared at the hateful old guy.
We are all old men, why are you more charming than me?
Jiangchuan decisively chose to ignore him.
He picked up his fishing gear and walked towards his own yard across the road.
Old Wang was surprised to see his posture.
He looked at the sky.
"Why, you closed the stall so early today? How many fish have you caught?"
Jiangchuan glanced at his empty basket, his face full of teasing.
"That's better than you who didn't catch anything."
Old Wang rolled his eyes, looked at his harvest, and immediately lost his confidence.
"You bastard, just wait. Soon you will feel my powerlessness."
Jiangchuan didn't even have the interest to look at him any more.
A rookie, nothing.
He is an old man with a blue pill.
How can he be compared with him in this matter?
When he got home, he gently pushed open the double wooden door in natural wood color from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar creaking sound came.
He spent one thousand Xuan crystals to buy this house.
The deed is permanent.
The total area is two hundred square meters, and the house is a two-story wooden tile house with three rooms arranged in a triangular shape.
The kitchen is on the left, the main hall is in the middle, and the upper and lower bedrooms are on the right.
The wooden structure of the house is of very good quality.
The mortise and tenon structure is still good in terms of earthquake resistance and stability.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that it is only a two-story structure.
His yard is cleaned well.
There are few weeds.
There are some vegetables planted in the yard, and you can pick some when you want to eat.
There are more or less insects on the leaves of these vegetables.
But the taste of the dishes is very good.
That kind of pure natural green food, plus his secondary profession as a fourth-grade chef, is still much better than ordinary people.
In terms of cooking skills, he didn't work hard.
It's okay to barely cook for himself.
Put down the fishing gear in his hand and look at the slightly dry land.
It has been five days since watering.
Take out something similar to a Feng Shui compass from the corner.
Slightly adjust several directions, make a few hand seals in the air at random, and mutter something.
At dusk, a dark cloud gradually appeared in the sky, and soon blue lightning flashed in the clouds.
Elephant master, a kind of secondary profession.
There are very few people who can master it.
This secondary profession can change the weather in a certain area.
The specific range and intensity will produce different effects according to the grade of the elephant master.
In the Great Xia Empire, the treatment of a third-level elephant master is comparable to that of a sixth-level official.
A ninth-level elephant master can reach the level of a national master.
Even the prime minister has to be polite when he sees him.
Although they have no administrative power.
But the consequences of offending an elephant master can even shake the foundation of the empire.
Especially these top elephant masters.
Whether it is a battlefield or agriculture, the significance is extraordinary.
Once such a person wants to cause damage, you don’t even know who did it.
This is the real scary thing about the elephant master.
In such a small place like Gusu County, who would have thought that there would be a ninth-grade elephant master here.
If the Daxia royal family knew about this, they would have to send out a hundred thousand troops to invite him to join.
Old Wang, who was still fishing by the river, saw the lightning in the sky and his face suddenly changed.
"Fuck, it's raining in this weather."
Looking at the empty basket, he decided to retreat.
He didn't want to become a drowned chicken.
At his age, if he caught a cold, it might kill his old bones.
He hurried back to the small courtyard across the road.
He lived next door to Jiangchuan. The earth and stone courtyard wall was less than two meters long. With a small bench, he could see the situation across the street.
Sister Wang had peeked at someone taking a bath next door more than once.
She was very familiar with Jiangchuan's body.
In comparison, Old Wang's body was much worse.
She couldn't understand why they were all old men, but the difference was so big.
Jiangchuan returned to the house, took out the Wudi Pill given by the system, and threw it directly into his mouth.
Fake medicine? It doesn't exist.
Product of the system, if there is a fake one, it's better to bury himself.
The pill melted in his mouth, and instantly turned into a violent energy, drilling into his limbs.
Before he fainted, he only thought of two words.
***!
Lin Yuxi is 21 years old this year.
In this era, you can get married at the age of 12, and 13 or 14 years old is already the world of children.
She is a 21-year-old woman who has not married yet. In fact, she is already an older leftover woman.
This is not something she can control.
When she was a child, her family conditions were very good.
Her father who loved her was a small business owner.
The two mothers, big and small, treated each other with respect and were very good to her and her brother.
Everyone was happy and lived a very happy life.
There was no one around who didn't envy their family.
But as his father was harmed by his opponent.
Xiaofu's family almost collapsed overnight.
His second mother took away all the family's property, abandoned his children and eloped with someone overnight.
The family left a debt of tens of thousands of Xuan crystals, and his father disappeared and no one knew where he went.
Unable to bear such pressure, her mother chose to hang herself and end her life.
The debt eventually fell on her and her brother.
Over the years, she went from a happy rich girl to the bottom of society.
Most of the money she earned with her own hands was used to pay off debts and to support her idle brother.
She had a gentle personality and good looks.
Many people came to propose marriage.
But after hearing that she was carrying a debt of tens of thousands of black crystals, no one came back.
After all, such a huge debt, for ordinary people, it would be impossible to earn it even if they didn't eat or drink for a lifetime.
Someone once advised her to enter a brothel.
With her looks, 10,000 black crystals was not a big deal.
But she didn't go down that road of no return.
Today, she finished her work in the cloth shop as usual and was about to go out to help people wash clothes to make money.
The pair of white jade hands, after all these years of hard work, have a lot of calluses.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would have such a rough pair of hands.
After tidying up her clothes a little, the simple hut just opened, and a middle-aged woman came in with a smile.
Her expression was stunned, and she looked at the matchmaker Wang with a puzzled look.
I used to meet her often.
Half of those who asked people to propose marriage were her.
But she hasn't come for a long time.
Why did she show up again today?
She had clearly made it clear.
It's impossible for anyone to be interested in me with the requirements I put forward.
