Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 28: Miserable Woman

"Yo, He Zhqing, you’re back. Got your marriage certificate, did you? So, are you moving to the Chen Family today?"

"He Zhqing, we didn’t make dinner for you tonight. It’s your first day married to Chen Shengjun; the Chen Family will surely make your meal, so go eat there."

"He Zhqing, it’s getting late, hurry up and pack your bags and move out."

As soon as He Hongyu stepped into the Knowledge Youth Courtyard, she was met with sarcastic remarks from the other educated youths.

He Hongyu’s face stiffened, biting her lip in grievance and shedding tears, "How can you guys do this? I haven’t had a wedding yet, how can I go live with the Chen Family?"

She looked at a short-haired female educated youth, "Ai Hua, we’re good friends, are you also going to chase me away?"

"No way, I don’t want a good friend like you, I’m afraid of losing face." Zhang Aihua was full of disdain, "Having a wedding is just a formality. Legally, you’re already married, so you can’t stay in the Knowledge Youth Courtyard, you can’t keep hogging our bed space."

"I’m also an educated youth, this courtyard has my share too, you can’t drive me away."

He Hongyu ran back to her room, slammed the door shut, and shamelessly stayed put.

Couldn’t drive her away no matter what.

Zhang Aihua, who shared the same room with her, was so disgusted that she eventually moved to squeeze into a room with two other female educated youths.

He Hongyu occupied an entire room by herself, feeling quite pleased.

The other youths didn’t want to cook with her and shunned her, but He Hongyu didn’t care. She bought a few clay bricks, set up a makeshift stove at her room’s entrance, took leave to buy a clay pot for cooking, a small water jar, and some bowls and chopsticks from the town.

"Hongyu, no work tomorrow, let’s go to the mountains to pick chestnuts. I know where the chestnut trees are."

That day after work, Chen Shengjun happily found He Hongyu, inviting her to go up the mountain together.

"Sure, I’ll meet you at the foot of the mountain at seven tomorrow morning." He Hongyu agreed with a smile.

In her past life, she had lived in Feng Family Village for many years and knew that after the autumn harvest, people from the Feng family would reduce their work hours and go to the mountains to gather wild goods.

Mountain goods are quite valuable.

Take chestnuts for example, you can eat them as snacks, use them as staple food to fill your stomach, or take them to the market to exchange for salt and eggs.

There are also various mushrooms that, once dried, can be saved for the winter when vegetables are scarce or traded for goods, or secretly sold on the black market for money.

"Hongyu, my mother wants me to ask you, have you raised any chickens? Every household in our village can raise two chickens. Now that you’re eating and living alone, you count as a household, you should raise two chickens, you can have more eggs to eat."

He Hongyu frowned, "I want to, but it’s not up to me alone in the Knowledge Youth Courtyard. They think chicken droppings are dirty, and the clucking too noisy, they won’t let me."

Chen Shengjun’s eyes lit up, blurting out, "Then keep your chickens at my house. We’ll get to eat more eggs."

He Hongyu’s face turned dark instantly, realizing that Granny Chen had planned this from the start, and the eggs wouldn’t be hers once the chickens were grown, would they?

"Never mind, I don’t have money to buy chicks anyway." Trying to take advantage of her? No way.

Chen Shengjun pulled a few dimes from his pocket and handed them to her, "This is all I have, my secret savings, hidden from my mother, all for you." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Chen Shengjun looked at the money, pained, but still gave it to He Hongyu.

"Thank you, Sheng Jun. Once I buy the chicks, I’ll send them to you." He Hongyu quickly agreed, but inwardly thought disdainfully, at this time, Chen Shengjun was really poor.

Only fifty cents, and he was so reluctant.

Thankfully she knew about the future and that he’d become the richest man in the provincial city. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even want to marry a poor guy.
