Xuanmen's mother-in-law was read in her mind, and the whole family got rich by eating melons

Chapter 29 Believe it or not?

Meng Tan can no longer see the excitement of sending a bloody thief to court.

I could only stand at the door of my house and look at the piles of Chen clan members.

She has never seen an ancient court.

Meng Tan decided not to eat the melon that he couldn't eat. When he turned his head, he saw that Zhu and Da Meng were having a lot of fun.

Oh my god, at first she thought Chen Changan might have some compassion for the Zhu family, so she was willing to spare the mother and son.

Moreover, Chen Changan seems to be a very gentle person on weekdays.

She didn't expect it. She thought that Zhu might have a bad life, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.

Isn’t Zhu very good at making green tea?

It doesn’t work in the Liu family?
  Look at that face, which is bruised and purple. It's weird that she doesn't seem to have seen Mrs. Zhu go out in recent days.

Alas, you can only suffer the consequences of your own creation.

"What are you looking at! Meng Yingying! Don't think that now that you are famous, you can overpower me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have the good life you have today!"

"You will always owe me!"

Just as he was about to look away, Da Meng, who was holding Zhu's head, spat. The jealousy in his eyes was really more poisonous than a ghost.

Gee tut.

[Oh, you have such a vicious mouth. If you don’t keep your moral integrity, you will be unlucky. Do you believe it? ]
  "Who said I'm unlucky! I think you're the only one who's unlucky. You're a plague. I curse you to fall when you go out and fall into the cesspit when you go to the latrine!"

Da Mengshi sprayed around, and everyone she saw around them backed away with disgust.

This Da Meng is one of the most aggressive people in Dading Village.

Meng Tan raised her eyebrows, could the Great Meng actually hear her thoughts?

Ah...she forgot that the original person and Damengshi were biological sisters.

Of course I can hear it.

[Tsk tsk tsk, these things will come true soon. ]
  Meng Tan 'kindly' reminded her that with Zhu's temperament, she had probably reached her peak after enduring so many days of training.

Mrs. Zhu is a ruthless person, and the Liu family may be in bad luck.

"Who! Who is talking? Which bitch is it..."

Meng Tan picked his ears, turned around and entered his yard.

She spread out the money she had earned in the past few days on the bed and counted it.

I got 800 yuan from Uncle Chen San for delivering the baby to Mrs. Xu. 800 yuan, that's nearly a pound of money, almost a tael.

Eight hundred wen, what is the concept? For a large Ding village, it is enough for a poorer family of five to spend for a month.

Looking at it this way, Uncle Chen's family conditions are still good.

Then there is the money obtained from feng shui for the clan, plus the money for doing things, a total of three to three hundred coins.

Then there are the three hundred articles that will be read to people today.

The total income is four hundred and two hundred cents.

Meng Tan smiled. She had earned more recently than her sons combined in one month.

Da Chu is now a country that has just been established, which is extremely encouraging for those who want to take the exam for merit.

Scholars like Chen Chang'an were not easy to get one tael of silver, three buckets of rice a month, and exemption from taxes and corvee. Only the top scholars could have it.

All in all, life in the Chen family is pretty good.

Chen Changan has one tael of silver a month, and Chen Changsheng is a salesman. This guy is cunning, and he has gone around dozens of nearby villages, transferring goods from his left hand to his right hand. Anyway, this man can always sell what others think is junk.

Now that I have just started, I can earn about one or two silver dollars a month. Chen Changyun is in charge of the fields. At present, the tax in Dachu is not high. In addition to eating for his own family, he can also sell some of the harvest for about five taels of silver.

Now that there are ten more acres of farmland, more will only be sold.

These were originally in the hands of the Zhu family. The Chen family did not have many people. They spent at most a dozen taels a year, but the Zhu family still had some left.

Meng Tan's flesh ached. Chen Changan had thought that it would be a happy break, so he definitely didn't expect this.

She looked up at the collapsed roof covered with thatch, and then glanced at the dusty mud houses around her. The Chen family's good conditions meant that they could only eat.

Neither will the others.

What's more, Chen Changan is still studying, and the expenses for a year are huge.

Meng Tan sighed.

She was still so poor. If she didn't want to live like this, she would pick up her old job.

The first thing is to repair her roof first.

Oh no, build a new room!

She doesn’t want to live in a mud house!
  The morning meal on the second day was made by Chen Changsheng. It was unpalatable and could only be eaten if it was cooked.

What a waste of food.

Meng Tan kept silently and ate without revealing her feelings. After all, she was not a cook.

But why is Chen Changsheng looking so sad so early in the morning?

[What's wrong with you? Are you dead? ]
  "Mom, why did you say this? How can you curse yourself?"

Chen Changsheng muttered, knowing that he probably couldn't hide it from his own mother, so he told everything, "The Tian family said that they can let Tian and I come back, but the condition is that Tian and I will go to town to do business and I will not come back."

[You didn’t agree? ]

Meng Tan wondered, isn't this a normal request?
  Is Tian Yunxiang so easy to talk to?
  If she were Mr. Tian, ​​she would kill more of the second sons and keep the money in her hand.

Chen Changsheng was shocked and looked at Meng Tan, "Mom, if you agree, it's almost like dividing the family. We don't have a wife at home. If Tian and I go to town, who will take care of you?"

Snapped--

Meng Tan couldn't hold it back anymore and slapped Chen Changsheng on the head.

[I am an old woman and cannot take care of myself anymore. Do I need a pregnant woman to take care of me? Is that your wife? Why don't you know how to feel sorry for others? ]

[Or are you a bad guy? Why are you brothers so shameless? If my mother is taken care of by others, will I give birth to Tian or raise Tian? You want to tease her like this! ]
  "This...this, isn't the purpose of marrying a wife to be filial to your parents and have children? Who doesn't live like this...Besides, the place I live in the town is not good. I have to travel far away every day, which costs a lot of money." And more…”

Chen Changsheng felt that what Meng Tan said was right, but the environment in which he had grown up for more than ten years made him feel that his own statement was also right.

Yes, doesn’t everyone have to live like this?

[...It sounds like you come back a lot on weekdays, so just stay alone. ]
  Meng Tan rolled his eyes, too lazy to point out this idiot.

Chen Changsheng wanted to say something else, but there was a commotion at the courtyard gate.

Meng Tan stood up quickly, her eyes lit up, there's a melon!
  At that speed, Chen Changsheng arrived at the entrance of the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

Just in time, they bumped into the two Chen Changan brothers who were standing at the door with expressions on their faces. Did they just come back from the town's Yamen?

"Damn it! Whose dog pooped here? Ugh—my waist—yikes—"

Before they could exchange greetings, they heard a burst of yelling from the side.

It was Da Meng's voice. Meng Tan looked over, laughed, and then covered his nose.

Da Mengshi fell down, but his face was still covered with dog shit.
