Chapter 49 Returning to Hometown
This time when he returned to Jiang'an City, Su Chen brought a little more money.
Tiangang City is indeed much more generous.
After two months of assistance, the contribution he earned was more than twice that of the Yunyang Sect.
And now that my practice has improved, I no longer need to spend contribution points in exchange for any practice techniques.
There must be some mysterious skills in Tiangang City. Since the clan has been established for so many years, it must have its own unique heritage.
But now, Su Chen really has no interest in changing any techniques.
I have "Xuantian Dao Xinjue" in my hand, and I have such a profound method of saint cultivation.
There is no need to waste contribution points in exchange for other things.
Su Chen now has two uses for the extra contribution points.
The first one is the elixir resources, and the second one is to take it home and give it to my mother-in-law and little sister.
Without the expense of exercises, it is actually much easier.
On the way back, Su Chen rented a carriage directly at the inn.
If you have more money in your hands, it will be much easier for you to take a carriage on the road.
After two days' journey, Su Chen returned to Jiang'an City.
Look at the time, it's just after noon.
Now in spring, all kinds of farm work have begun to increase.
As soon as he reached the gate of the city, Su Chen saw several uncles and aunts he knew, carrying hoes and tools, probably preparing to go out to work.
"Uncle Zhong, Auntie."
Su Chen greeted with a smile.
The two of them turned their heads to look, with a slight smile on their faces.
But the next moment, the two of them realized that the person in front of them was Su Chen, and their smiles immediately faded.
He also rolled his eyes at Su Chen.
The two people's attitudes made Su Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, they are actually very good people.
In the past, in Jiang'an City, Uncle Chen and Auntie would take care of those who needed help at home.
Everyone actually has a very good relationship with each other.
But today when Su Chen greeted them, their expressions showed disgust.
Su Chen naturally understands why this situation occurs.
Chen Xia made all kinds of nonsense in Jiang'an City, saying that she was greedy for credit in the Yunyang Sect and was driven away by the Yunyang Sect.
With a reputation like his own, how could the common people look down upon him?
In comparison, ordinary people may value this reputation more than people from various sects.
Before entering the city, Su Chen had already vaguely guessed the situation of A Niang and his little sister.
I rarely go home, so I don't mind this cold face.
Out of sight out of mind.
But my mother-in-law and little sister have been living in Jiang'an City.
They don't know how many cold faces they will endure every day.
Walking into Jiang'an City, Su Chen walked all the way home.
On the way, Su Chen saw a shop selling cooked vegetables.
It's the kind of cooked dish. If you buy one, the merchant will wrap it up in oil paper and take it home to taste.
My little sister really likes the cooked dishes from this restaurant. Every time she brings them home, she gets a big appetite and eats more than usual.
Just when buying cooked vegetables, the merchant looked up.
When he found out it was Su Chen, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
He said coldly: "Eight cents a piece."
"Eight cents? It used to be four cents a piece, right?"
Su Chen frowned and couldn't help but ask.
"Others still pay four cents for it, but your family only costs eight cents.
Anyway, you have taken so much credit and contribution from others, so you should not be short of these few cents. "
Su Chen frowned, but still paid for one.
"It's really rich~"
The merchant in front of me seems to be a little reluctant to sell for eight cents a piece.
But seeing how much money there was, I felt a little reluctant, so I packed a portion and handed it to Su Chen. Su Chen was even more troubled when he thought of this cooked dish.
It's not about the few pennies.
Now in Tiangang City, no behavior of withholding contributions has been found.
As his strength gradually improves, he won't feel as depressed as he did in Yunyang Sect.
They increased the price three or four times, and the contribution they earned was enough to afford it.
But my mother-in-law and my little sister are usually frugal.
Even if I make more money, the price is so much more expensive than before, and my mother-in-law will definitely be even more reluctant to buy it.
I don't know how miserable their life will be at home
Thinking about it, Su Chen's feet seemed a little heavier.
Walking all the way home, my mother-in-law and my little sister were in the yard, seeming to be knitting something.
Seeing Su Chen, both of them were stunned for a moment, and a smile instantly bloomed on their faces.
"Why don't you tell me in the letter that you are coming back? You see your family is not prepared at all."
Auntie had a gentle smile on her face.
It is always a happy thing when a child comes home.
"Brother, why are you back at this time? After spring, there will be more things, right?"
The little girl seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on her face quickly faded.
The lady on the side also understood and looked a little worried.
"Did something happen over there in Tiangang City?
Is it the things that the Yunyang Sect slandered you about?"
Seeing the worried looks of the two of them, Su Chen quickly smiled.
"Everything that goes wrong is also a good thing. The elders of Tiangang City should be more sensible.
I didn't encounter any harsh treatment there, and I earned more contribution points than before. "
As Su Chen said this, he was pulled into the house.
While talking, Su Chen showed off his new weapon to the two of them.
A high-quality long knife obtained from a senior.
Compared to what I used before, I don’t know how much better it is.
Grandma and little sister turned their heads and looked at it. They didn't know how to identify the grade of the weapon.
But with the long knife in front of you, you can see the huge difference in quality with the naked eye.
Since they had enough energy to change weapons, the two of them still believed that Su Chen was not in trouble.
Put the cooked vegetables you bought on the table.
In the house, grandma started to cook, and the little girl beside her helped.
Looking at the busy backs of the two people, Su Chen felt very uncomfortable.
"My grandma and my little sister have both lost weight."
“I’m tired of eating too much during the Chinese New Year, and my body just can’t bear it.
If I nourish my stomach a little lately, I will gain weight again. "
Aniang answered with a smile and did not stop working at all.
"When I came back, I bought a cooked dish. He said that others sold it for four cents, but for our family, he wanted to sell it for eight cents."
After hearing this, Aniang's movements became slightly slower.
"Because of my reputation, my mother-in-law and my little sister suffered in Jiang'an City
Others also dislike our family in various ways and treat them harshly."
"Actually, it's okay. We do our own thing, and it doesn't actually have much impact."
Aniang opened her mouth to defend herself, but now she had lost some of her confidence in what she said.
"Let's go live in other cities. My ability to earn contributions is much stronger now than before.
We would be better off in another city.
You don't have to suffer these cold looks, just like before. "
After hearing what Su Chen said, Aniang shook her head.
"Your father is buried in the back mountain. What will he do if I leave? There are so many ancestors who also have to worship during festivals."
After saying that, Aniang turned her head and looked at Su Chen.
“Besides, once we leave, it will be even harder to cleanse the filth from your body.
I don’t know what will happen to those words that weave into our minds. "
