Chapter 1 Husband, Drink Porridge

Daqian, Mianshui County, Xiantao Village.

In a dilapidated yard, the house was in a mess. Chen Jie was lying on the bed, looking at the roof with confused eyes.

Have you traveled through time?
I never thought such an outrageous thing would happen to me.

But my 'new home' looks like it has nothing but bare walls!
"Husband, you're awake, get up quickly, I was wrong yesterday, please have some porridge."

Just when Chen Jie was in a daze, a pleasant female voice was suddenly heard. Chen Jie turned his head and saw a woman with patches all over her body and no makeup on, walking in with a casserole.

She forced a smile, but it couldn't hide the red and swollen slap marks on her face.

Su Yunjin!
My wife!!
Suddenly a memory flooded into my mind like a tide.

The Daqian Empire, a foreign nation... Xiantao Village, a gambler...

As pieces of information emerged, Chen Jie finally understood his situation.

My original name was Chen Jiusi, and I was from Xiantao Village, Mianshui County. My family was well-off. My grandfather was a famous doctor in the village. Unfortunately, he had no son, only one daughter. In order to prevent the Chen family from becoming extinct, I married a son-in-law, who was my father.

My father was originally a fisherman in the village, but his family became too poor, so he became a son-in-law of the Chen family. He wanted to learn the medical skills from the old doctor, but the old doctor was very conservative. The medical skills were passed down from sons to sons, not daughters, and from family members only. The son-in-law was not qualified to inherit, and only those with Chen family blood could be taught.

So Chen Jiusi became the successor of the old doctor. Unfortunately, the old doctor passed away when Chen Jiusi was eight years old, and Chen Jie did not inherit his grandfather's medical skills.

The medical skills of the Chen family were thus extinct, but fortunately a lot of property was left behind. Unexpectedly, after the death of his grandfather, his father, the son-in-law, had no one to control him and began to drink and gamble. Later, when he was drunk, he went swimming in the river and drowned.

Later, when Chen Jiusi grew up, her mother remembered the marriage that had been arranged when her father was alive. That marriage was with the old scholar from the previous village, the Su family.

At that time, the two families, one was the descendant of a famous doctor, and the other was a family of scholars. They were well matched, so they arranged this marriage for their children.

So, the mother dragged her sick body to find the old scholar. The old scholar was very trustworthy and directly married his daughter, Su Yunjin, to him.

Life was good at the beginning. Although the Chen family no longer had the medical skills, they had more than 20 acres of fine farmland and a large courtyard.

Chen's mother was also there and was able to control Chen Jiusi, but the good days did not last long. First, the Su family, the old scholar went to the county town, where he encountered thieves and lost his life, leaving behind only a five-year-old orphan girl.

Chen's mother decided to bring Su Yunjin over to raise the child, but a few days later, Chen's mother's old illness relapsed and she passed away.

Without the supervision of his mother, Chen Jiusi's father's genes broke out. He even started to drink and gamble. He even liked to beat his wife when he lost. He was worse than a beast.

Before long, he lost all the family fortune accumulated by three generations, and was finally forced to move into the dilapidated house his father lived in before he married into the family.

Last night, he stole the deed to the last three acres of good farmland in his family, but lost it all in just two bets. He was so angry that he got drunk again, ran back home and searched the house for money to make up for his losses.

In the end, he found nothing and the rice jar at home was empty. Finally, he went crazy and saw his five-year-old sister-in-law, Su Yunrui. He remembered that someone said that there were pimps in the city who specialized in buying girls like this, sending them to brothels to be trained and selling them for a lot of money.

So he started to snatch the child. How could Su Yunjin be so capable? As a result, Chen Jiusi slapped him twice and kicked him to the ground, cursing: "You bitch, I am your husband, I have to do whatever I say, and if you dare not obey, I will beat you to death!"

As he spoke, he kicked her twice more. Su Yunrui, who was standing by, rushed over to block Su Yunjin and cried, "Brother-in-law, please don't hit me, please."

But Chen Jiusi stared at Su Yunrui coldly and said, "I beat your sister because of you. Be obedient and go to the city with your brother-in-law tomorrow. Your brother-in-law will take you to a place where you can have enough food, okay?"

"Brother-in-law, I don't want to go." "Not being obedient, huh? Then I'll beat your sister up. Do you believe me if I beat her to death?"

"Wuwu, don't hit my sister, don't hit my sister, I'll go, I'll go, Ruirui will listen to my brother-in-law, wuwu..."

"Hey, that's right."

Chen Jiusi patted the little girl's head in satisfaction, then looked at the woman lying on the ground and said, "What are you still sitting here for? Go get me some water to wash my feet, you piece of shit!"

……

Thinking about the whole process in his mind, Chen Jie felt his scalp tingling. This is a living beast!

You shouldn't love such a beautiful and gentle lady, but you hit her. You are so heartless.

Chen Jie's description of his predecessor: scumbag.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie couldn't help but look at his wife again. He saw that the woman was about 1.65 meters tall, with very white skin, big eyes, and was wearing a patched coarse linen dress, but she exuded the gentleness and tranquility of a lady from a noble family.

If such a woman were in the previous life, she would definitely be a big star, but now she is his wife. This is a huge gain.

Chen Jie just didn't understand how his predecessor could have the heart to do that to such a beautiful woman.

"Husband, what are you staring at? Come, have some porridge."

The woman took out a broken porcelain bowl and scooped a bowl of white rice porridge with a spoon. Looking at the white rice porridge, a very cute little girl beside her swallowed hard.

"Gulp, Ruirui doesn't want to drink white rice porridge at all, not at all, gulp..."

The woman glanced at her sister, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but she still came to Chen Jie with the bowl of porridge.

"Husband!"

She called out softly.

Handing the bowl of porridge over, Chen Jie looked at the red and swollen slap marks on the woman's face, and the bruises on her arms. He felt distressed and did not take the bowl but grabbed the woman's wrist instead.

The woman was so frightened that she trembled all over and almost dropped the bowl of porridge. She subconsciously pulled her hand back.

But the imagined violence did not occur. Instead, Chen Jie rolled up her sleeves, only to see that her arms were covered with bruises.

Chen Jie was silent.

The woman retracted her hand, tears flashed in her eyes, but she continued: "Husband, come and have some porridge. I was wrong yesterday. After you drink the porridge, take Ruirui to the city."

When she said this, the woman's voice was very steady, but Chen Jie could hear a tremor. Just as Chen Jie was about to say something, the woman said, "Husband, let's talk after we finish eating."

Chen Jie sighed, stretched out his hand to hold the porridge bowl, and just as he picked up the spoon, he suddenly heard a sound beside his ear: Ding~
