The house is dark with lights on.

Chen Meng parked his bicycle carefully without making a sound.

The weather is too hot.

I came back covered in sweat.

Chen Meng went to the kitchen to get a washbasin towel, scooped a basin of cold water into the water tank, and decided to wipe himself.

Just came out of the kitchen.

He bumped into a black figure head-on. He was startled and threw a basin of water out. "Fuck, what is that?"

"Brother, it's me."

Chen Xiaomei was soaked all over and looked at Chen Meng depressedly.

"Little sister, you scared me to death. You don't have to sleep in the middle of the night. You come out and scare people... If you scare people, you will scare them to death." Chen Meng took a breath.

"I heard you were back, so I came out to take a look."

"What time is it? You're not asleep yet."

"Didn't you go out to do business? My parents said you would definitely not be able to do it. I didn't believe it, so I just waited for you to come back...Brother, how is business today?" Chen Xiaomei looked at Chen Meng expectantly.

She has been uneasy since her eldest brother left.

It concerns whether she can still make money in the future, which is of course worrying.

"Little sister, thank you for your concern." Chen Meng felt warm in his heart.

My little sister had been bullied by him for so many years, but a small favor changed her view of him, not because of her greed, but because of family affection.

No matter what, blood and family ties are always the closest and have no bottom line.

Under the faint moonlight.

The little girl was wearing a pure cotton vest, which was soaked with water.

The chest is slightly bulging, like a sticky bean bag, and the amplitude is almost invisible.

She is already 18 years old and has no development at all.

Thinking about Chen Meng makes my nose feel sore, it's all because of his prodigality...

"You are my brother, and I should care about you. Besides, you can also make money with me." Chen Xiaomei said coyly.

"Haha, from now on I will help you make more money, let you eat well and wear good clothes, grow into a big girl early, and then find you a suitable husband, then I will be satisfied." Chen Meng said with a smile.

"Brother, are you going to sell me to Ba Leizi? I won't marry you." Chen Xiaomei suddenly became nervous.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't marry you to Ba Leizi."

Chen Meng rubbed his little sister's head, picked up the basin on the floor, returned to the kitchen, filled a basin of cold water, went to the small yard, and scrubbed his body.

The younger sister also ran into the kitchen, lit up the kerosene lamp, stood next to Chen Meng, and held it up to illuminate it for him, "Brother, you haven't told me yet, how is business today?"

"Sold out, all sold out."

"real?"

"I can still lie to you..."

"So, I can continue catching crayfish tomorrow?"

"Well, I need to catch a little more tomorrow, at least forty pounds." Chen Meng said while scrubbing himself.

Today, 20 kilograms of crayfish sold for 300 yuan.

In addition to giving 20 yuan to the girl, 20 yuan to the boss lady, and 10 yuan for beer, it equals a net profit of 250 yuan.

If we calculate it like this, it only costs about two thousand yuan a week, which is not enough to pay off the leper.

In the next few days, we will have to sell at least 40 kilograms a day.

After seeing today's momentum, Chen Meng is still very confident.

"Great, then I can earn 80 yuan tomorrow... Oh my God, there is so much money, how should I spend it?" Chen Xiaomei was so excited that I was incoherent and gasping for breath.

puff!!

Blow out the kerosene lamp.

"Save it and use it as a dowry for yourself in the future." Chen Meng couldn't help but joked when he saw his little sister was so happy.

"Brother, I don't want to get married. You can help me make money. Everyone in the village my age has gone out to work. I stay at home and farm every day. I don't want to be looked down upon by them." Chen Xiaomei said hopefully.

This is the first time in so many days that my little sister has said so many words to Chen Meng.

Chen Meng was very pleased, indicating that his younger sister's view of him had changed and she even forgave him for what he had done before.

I must treat my relatives who are so easily satisfied...

Chen Meng swore secretly in his heart and nodded, "Okay, starting from tomorrow, you will go to the city with me to help me. I will gain experience and learn how to do business. When I get rich in the future, I will open a shop for you."

"Thank you, brother."

"Don't be too busy thanking me... little sister, can you step aside for a moment? I need to take off my pants and wash them off."

"Take off your clothes and I'll light them up for you."

"..."

Chen Meng was speechless. My little sister is seriously lacking in education in some aspects. I have to talk to her in the future to avoid suffering any disadvantages in the future.

the next day.

Chen Meng got up early.

After a simple breakfast, I assigned my little sister a task. Today she has to catch at least 40 kilograms of crayfish.

He got on his bicycle and headed straight to the county seat.

According to yesterday's momentum, four tables may not be enough. In addition, we also need to buy some konjac. Without this thing, I feel like I am missing some soul.

Passing by the door of Widow Xie's house.

Xie Yingying actually got up early, dressed in coarse clothes and a straw hat, and looked like she was getting ready to go to the field.

"Your feet haven't healed yet, where can you go?" Chen Meng couldn't help but stop his bicycle and frowned.

"The land is all deserted. It's rare to have time to do weeding and not do heavy work." Xie Yingying lowered her head and whispered.

She didn't want to answer, but her parents-in-law were coming out soon, and they would be unhappy if they saw her chatting with Chen Meng.

But she clearly felt Chen Meng's concern, which made her heart warm.

"Didn't I say that I will plant your land?"

"Are you serious?"

"You think I'm joking?"

"I haven't seen any movement from you then."

"We'll talk about it after I'm done with this period of time."

"What are you busy with?"

"We set up a stall in the city to do some small business."

"Are you in business?" Xie Yingying looked Chen Meng up and down suspiciously, and her face turned cold. "Besides cheating, what else do you do?"

"It turns out that in your eyes, I am worthless."

Chen Meng twitched the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.

Almost instantly.

Xie Yingying felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier and distance between her and Chen Meng. This feeling made her a little flustered. Just as she was about to explain, she heard the sound of her parents-in-law going out behind her.

When Chen Meng saw this, he immediately got on his bicycle and left.

Xie Yingying opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked, and in the end nothing came out.

Looking at Chen Meng's quick escape, Xie Yingying's chest felt inexplicably tight. No matter what, he is the only man willing to protect me with his life.

But I said bad words to him.

Xie Yingying, Xie Yingying, if you even push away the man who protects you with his life, what will you have left?

The so-called reputation of a chaste and martyr woman?

Or are the parents-in-law who only care about the reputation of the Chen family?

Thinking of this, Xie Yingying had the urge to cry.

"Yingying, what are you and Chen Meng talking about?" Cao Guifang walked over with a straight face.

"Nothing, just chatting."

"Don't talk to him anymore. This bastard is a scumbag. Talking to him will only ruin the reputation of the Chen family... Don't forget, you are still the daughter-in-law of my old Chen family. You are shameless and want to be ashamed of our old Chen family.
