How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

Chapter 35 A woman’s duty?
When Chen Yixuan heard his brother ask what kind of world this was, he suddenly sneered.

"Brother, when I was young, I studied with my grandfather. When I read that people who prosper and die suffer, I was still puzzled. It wasn't until I got married and started a business, and became the head of the family, that I understood what this sentence meant."

"We are all farmers now. Farmers have to pay poll tax in spring, grain tax in summer and autumn, and have to bring their own dry food for a month of hard work in autumn. Only in winter can we have time and have the opportunity to stay home all winter. After working hard for a whole year, I can barely make ends meet.”

When Chen Yixing heard this, he suddenly remembered the experience of traveling all the way over the past two years.

He suddenly burst into tears and cried loudly: "UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuBrother, why do you think we, ordinary people, have such a hard life? We don’t have enough to eat, we don’t have warm clothes, and we still sleep on this kind of thatch. House. We either eat chaff or whole grains every day. We eat thin when we are free and dry when we are busy. ... Do we really want to live like this in this life?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yixuan looked surprised and asked, "Brother? Can you be more careful with what you say?"

"Brother, please tell me to be honest. You don't have such rebellious thoughts in your heart, do you?"

After hearing this, Chen Yixing immediately retorted: "Brother, where are you thinking? Am I not considering the best way out for our big family?"

"Let me tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. As the saying goes, everything is of inferior quality, only education is high. When we have the opportunity in the future, we must still send a few children to study. If the children are smart, they will get a good name. Something like that, then he really is the Guangzong Yaozu."

Chen Yixuan became excited immediately after hearing this.

"Brother, do you think I haven't thought about it this way? In recent times, my wife has told me many times, telling me to teach more children to read and read at home when everything is fine. Teach her to read too. read."

Chen Yixing frowned when he heard what he said.

He thought to himself, what books do women read?
A woman is not qualified to take the exam, so what is the use of her reading?
Instinctively, he felt that his brother's wife was impure and restless, so Chen Yixing couldn't help but remind Chen Yixuan.

"Brother, I have no problem with you teaching your sons to read. But I think something is wrong with you teaching your wife to read."

Chen Feiyan, who was sitting next to her, originally didn't want to participate in their conversation, but as soon as she heard this, she raised her head and looked at Chen Yixing steadily and said, "What's wrong?"

"If it wasn't appropriate, why did you marry such a famous and talented woman as your wife in the first place?"

She didn't know about the talented girl.It was Wang Yingying who, intentionally or unintentionally, read a few poems and songs in front of her these days that she had never learned in junior high school or high school.

He also saw that she had a vague sense of superiority in front of him.Chen Feiyan found out about Wang Yingying's life experience from her mouth.

I know that more than ten years ago, she was known as the most talented woman in this area.Chen Feiyan kept it in mind.

Now that I want to recognize a few more words, it actually does not harm the interests of my brother.But for some reason, he still wanted to control her. He had no sense of boundaries, which made Chen Feiyan feel very uncomfortable.

Chen Feiyan has a relatively straightforward personality.

She spoke without any concealment.

Chen Yixing's manly pride began to trouble him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"When we men talk, why do you women get in the way?"

Chen Feiyan became even more unhappy after hearing this.

"What's wrong? I can't say anything? After all, I am a member of this family. My man is willing to teach me how to read. Why do you object? What does this have to do with you?"

Since time traveling, Chen Feiyan has to think about everything by herself and hold on to everything by herself. Chen Feiyan, who opens her eyes and starts working until dark, actually has a fire burning deep in her heart.

Her hatred for this poor life is almost pushing her to the brink of collapse.

If it weren't for the life simulator, to be honest, she felt like she wouldn't be able to stand it long ago.

……

When brothers Chen Yixuan and Chen Yixing saw Chen Feiyan suddenly become so angry, their expressions and thoughts were different.Chen Yixuan is not a confused person.

He can distinguish between inside and outside and between closeness and distance.

He has lived with his wife for so many years and raised so many children. He knows how difficult it is for her in daily life.

He fell ill on the kang some time ago, and it was his daughter-in-law who boiled hot water for him every day to wipe his body, and served him meals every day.She takes care of everything at home, big and small.How could anyone outside do this? !

He can say that his wife is his most important wife and relative.

As for his brother... He was able to abandon his mother and him more than ten years ago because of marrying a wife. So, after so many years of not seeing his brother, he was penniless and desperate, so he thought of taking his wife with him. The child defected to him... In essence, he was just an outsider who was slightly stronger than the villagers in Chenjia Village.

What his brother said to him during this time, Chen Yixuan actually doubted his purpose in his heart.

The reason why Chen Yixuan was willing to accept Chen Yixing's family of three was simply because his family was weak in Chenjiacun.

Having multiple half-brothers actually gives them an extra layer of strength for the time being.

In case something happens to the family then, they will be bullied by those outside.

What's more, Chen Yixuan could never be so cold-hearted and helplessly watch his brother and his family die outside.

Because Chen Yixuan sympathizes a lot with his brother.He has much trust and respect for his daughter-in-law Chen Feiyan.Chen Yixuan's next words were naturally on Chen Feiyan's side.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. I said I would teach you to write and read. This is something I promised. I will do it. My brother still doesn't understand our difficult situation. You Don’t be angry with him.”

……

Chen Yixing watched helplessly as his brother's words and attitude completely swung to his wife's side, and he felt that he was losing face more and more.

He suddenly realized that his brother seemed to be a henpecked person...

After all, I had read before, so I could barely be considered a scholar, right?His wife asked him to teach her how to read and write, but he agreed so easily?
Thinking that his brother always had to say hello to his wife no matter what he did on weekdays, Chen Yixing took a good look at Chen Feiyan for the first time.

This woman seems to have a strong temper.It's completely different from his wife Wang's.

If a woman like her learns to read and write, and can read and think, then it will be even harder to manipulate her in the future.

Noticing Chen Feiyan's small feet, which were not even wrapped with foot bindings at the moment, Chen Yixing suddenly said to Chen Yixuan: "Brother, since you promised to teach your wife to read and write, then I won't said."

"But she has to at least tidy up her appearance on weekdays, right?"

"Everyone in the world knows that this woman's feet are the most important thing in the world. Look at my wife, who followed me to escape from the south of the Yangtze River. Her feet are still three inches of golden lotus, and they are wrapped up every day. Strictly speaking. Look at your daughter-in-law... she doesn't even need to wear a footband. Do you think she is planning to stop doing her duty as a woman? "

Chen Feiyan frowned after hearing this.

Seeing Chen Yixing, a man who couldn't even afford a meal, speaking and keeping silent was a woman's duty. A woman's feet were the most important thing in the world. Chen Feiyan wanted to rush up and slap him on the ear.

Without Chen Yixuan helping her to speak, Chen Feiyan suddenly stood up and became angry at Chen Yixing.

"I've had enough of you!!"

No matter what today, Chen Feiyan wants to show this pedantic old thing some color.
