Chapter 76

It is said that the lazy man died on the morning of his wedding, but everyone just thought he was too lazy to get up.

  From then on, Shen Yuntang had the reputation of being a bad guy. His relatives said that he was the bad guy who killed lazy people and had no right to inherit the family property. They wanted to take away all the fields and houses. In the end, the village chief came forward and let him live there until he remarries.

  Relatives all stared at him and introduced him to men one after another, but those men did not have a good reputation for drinking, gambling, or men who had run away from their wives.

  Shen Yuntang was finally reborn, how could he follow the same path of his whole life?

  He would rather be a widow for the rest of his life than remarry, but he also knows that it is okay to live here for a year or two. If he lives here for a long time, he will be disliked by his relatives. It will be too shameful to be driven away. He will give it to himself I made a three-year plan to save some money and buy this house.

  Within three years, Shen Yuntang kept the yard of his house in order by himself, planted vegetables, raised chickens and ducks, and went to the market every month to sell eggs and salted duck eggs, as well as the vinegar and bean paste he made. Kong went to the mountains to pick some herbs and carried them to the town to sell.

  His life was hard, but he was happy.

  But people in the village always gossiped about him, saying how could he support himself by selling vegetables? He must have been picking up customers behind his back.

  Shen Yuntang gradually became more aggressive. After saving enough money, relatives of the Cheng family deliberately made things difficult and did not sell the house to him. He left his hometown amidst the ridicule of the villagers and went to the town to build a small house by himself. The stall sold food and later turned into a small shop.

  This is already the last page, but what is written on the last page is not end, but to be continued...

  Cheng Yeran threw the book into the box, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

  Shen Yuntang's first life was like being locked in a cage from which he could not escape. He had been manipulated all his life. The feeling was so suffocating. Fortunately, in the second life, Shen Yuntang relied on his own efforts. A changed destiny.

  "What are you doing here sighing so late at night?" Shen Yuntang had already woken up. He was already in the habit of looking at the time. He thought it was only around 10:11, but when he turned on his phone, he saw that it was already early in the morning. It was three o'clock, but he was the only one on the bed. He touched the bed and it was still cold. This reminded him of the previous scene where Cheng Yeran suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night, which made him feel very uneasy.

  Fortunately, he found someone in the kitchen when he came out, and he finally felt at ease.

  He just walked in and wanted to see what Cheng Yeran was doing. As soon as he walked in, Cheng Yeran hugged his waist tightly, and the other party pressed his face against his stomach, as if he was wronged and sad. Open your face.

  He touched Cheng Yeran's hair and said, "What troubles you encountered? Tell me."

  "My heart hurts." Cheng Yeran looked up at him. He had never thought that Shen Yuntang had gone through such hardships. It was too late for him to love such a good person, so how could anyone be willing to hurt him.

  "Why are you so angry when you don't sleep at night?" Shen Yuntang has heard that scholars are more sad about spring and autumn. Could it be that Cheng Yeran feels uncomfortable because autumn has arrived?

  He has not read the book and does not understand.

  "There is something I have always wanted to ask you." He swallowed the words again. If the content in the book is really what Shen Yuntang has experienced, and he still remembers it, then the pain will become his scar. , there is no need for him to expose Shen Yuntang's scars in order to seek the truth.

  He was just curious, was Shen Yuntang reborn once or twice?

  According to him, he should have been reborn once. After the lazy man died in the second rebirth, he passed away and became a lazy man.

  "What's the matter?" Shen Yuntang rarely saw him like this. In the past, Cheng Yeran was lively and cheerful. Even if he encountered difficulties, he would try his best to deal with them instead of sighing.

  "It's okay." Cheng Yeran shook his head, then raised his head, his eyes became lively again, "I want to know, are you happy to marry me?"

  Shen Yuntang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Why is it so windy at night? Go back to bed quickly. If you don't get enough rest, I won't be able to forgive you for driving the car into a ditch tomorrow."

  Cheng Yeran rubbed his face on his belly a few more times, "I will protect you for the rest of my life."

  "Nasty." Shen Yuntang himself is a tsundere, and his parents are also tsundere. His brothers are taciturn and would never express their feelings so directly. Cheng Yeran's frankness makes him not used to it, but he is very happy at the same time.

  Cheng Yeran hugged his waist and was reluctant to let go, "Your waist is so thin. Can such a flat belly really hold a baby?"

  "You, what are you talking about?" Shen Yuntang's face turned red. He pushed Cheng Yeran away hard, "You, sleep!"

  ...

  The two went to the town. They first took the business slip of the pastry shop to the government for registration, and then went to visit Mr. Chen on the way.

  Mr. Chen hosted a banquet for them warmly. At the dinner table, he even asked the child to come over and thank them.

  The children were lively, but they pretended to be little adults, bowing and thanking them solemnly.

  Cheng Yeran took out a few pieces of dried beans and gave them to him as snacks. The child originally thought he was giving them candy and was a little disappointed, but after eating them, his eyes lit up.

  Cheng Yeran gave Mr. Chen the dried tofu, soap and some free-range eggs brought from home, and thanked Mr. Chen for helping solve the school affairs.

  Master Chen saw that he had a good character and told him some things about the school. There will be an assessment three months after the new students enter the school. The bottom three students will be expelled. There are many children from rich families who enter the school through connections or money. , and in the end it was returned after only three months.

  Cheng Yeran has not been afraid of exams since he was a child. If he couldn't pass the exam in a county school, how could he take part in the imperial examination?

  Master Chen heard that they would come to the city to sell dried tofu in the future, and offered to lend them a house to use, but Cheng Yeran refused. He was not a man who liked petty gains, and said that he would solve the house problem himself.

  After saying goodbye to Mr. Chen, they went to shopkeeper Wang and asked him to recommend a place to live, preferably one that could do business and accommodate people. They planned to open a grocery store, do some wholesale, and continue to sell dried tofu and soap.

  Moreover, he is planning to bring his fourth brother to the county town with him, so the house must be bigger.

  Shopkeeper Wang was also kind-hearted and helped them choose an alley. The people in this alley were people doing small business, including tofu sellers, blacksmiths, carpenters, breakfast shops, and medicine shops.

  It happened that there was a house with a large yard for rent, and the rent was not very expensive. It cost three taels of silver a year. The reason why it was cheap was that the house was relatively shabby and the yard was overgrown. It would take a while to clean up if we moved here.

  But Shen Yuntang likes this big yard very much, saying that he can also grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. He originally thought that he would have no chance when he came to the county town.

  "When I go to school to study, you will be too busy by yourself. I'm afraid you won't have time to plant vegetables and raise chickens." Cheng Yeran looked at the yard, "Why don't you lay the lawn and build a swing? There will be no time to spare." You can sit on it and swing on it."

  After he finished speaking, he saw Shen Yuntang looking at him as if he was mentally ill, "How about planting grass? There is grass all over the place, but you can consider making a swing. I learned how to set up a swing when I was a child. I will give it to you when I move here. Make one."

  Cheng Yeran felt like she had become the heroine of a novel and was being loved.

  The two of them decided on a yard. The owner of the house and Shopkeeper Wang were old acquaintances. They also heard Shopkeeper Wang say that they wanted to renovate the house. They were given a 50% discount on the house in the past few months this year, and they would pay for it next year as usual.

  They signed a three-year certificate, but he had no confidence that he could pass the exam in one or two years. It would take more than ten years to study for the college entrance examination, let alone the imperial examination.

  Shopkeeper Wang said that he would help them find workers, so they didn't need to worry about this matter.

  Shopkeeper Wang is the kind of warm-hearted person who likes to do favors for others. He doesn't feel happy if he doesn't care about other people's business. What's more, Cheng Yeran is his boss, so he takes the initiative to fawn over him.

  When Cheng Yeran met Shopkeeper Wang for the first time, he thought he was a very serious person. Then he thought about it. Shopkeeper Wang's shop closed down and his child died. It was strange that he could be enthusiastic.

  ...

  After they returned, Yuanbao and Fourth Brother began to deliver bean flour to the pastry shop.

  Each time he had to pull a cart, Yuanbao was wondering at first, could this shop use up so much bean flour? It wasn't until he saw a group of beggars sitting in front of the store, each holding a bowl of soy milk and drinking, that he realized that the owner of the store was doing good things.

  Not just beggars, as long as you come over with a bowl, you can get a bowl of soy milk until it runs out.

  Unless you are someone who loves to take advantage, you will not join a group of beggars to grab soy milk.

  Yuanbao and Fourth Brother were very hungry when they drove over in the morning, so they asked for a bowl of soy milk. Shopkeeper Wang knew that they were relatives of Cheng Yeran's family, so he brought them a clean bowl and let them drink in the house.

  Yuan Bao waved his hand and said no, they drank on the roadside and left.

  Yuanbao and Fourth Brother each took out a pancake from their arms to eat. After taking two bites, he saw a little beggar looking up at him. The little beggar covered one eye and looked at the other roundly. He was still swallowing his saliva.
