It wasn't until lying on a shabby mat in a thatched hut with his still buzzing head that Sun Chen fully accepted the memories of this seventeen-year-old boy named Sun Chen as him.

This is an era called the Apocalypse Dynasty, and it is now the third year of Tianyun. And his current Linjia Village is a small mountain village under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County under the rule of the Apocalypse Dynasty.

As for how far it is from Ningcheng, the capital of the Apocalypse Dynasty, according to Huang Xiucai in the village, it takes more than half a month to catch up with the carriage without sleep.

The ancestral home of the Sun family is not here, but in another county more than 200 miles away, Ruzhou.

When Sun Chen's grandfather was alive, he would often tell his juniors how beautiful their house was in their ancestral hometown before they fled here because of war and chaos seventy or eighty years ago.

Sun Chen's father, Sun Zhou, has three brothers, because the eldest Sun Qi is used to doing things in front of the two elders, so that the old couple has been looking up to the eldest son who is a bookkeeper in the town's landlord Liu's house.

The eldest daughter-in-law's maiden family is in the town and runs a small restaurant, which makes Sun Yang's get a lot of compliments in front of the neighbors, so Sun Yang's daughter-in-law is petty to this daughter-in-law who has to raise her chin when she speaks to her.

Usually, the eldest family also lives in the town, and every time he comes home, he comes empty-handed, and he leaves with a large bag. Especially during the autumn harvest, I don't know if it will be calculated, every time the work in the field is completed, it is almost the last to hand over the imperial grain, and the eldest family also comes home under the banner of helping the family with the autumn harvest.

When handing over the imperial grain, the eldest Sun Qi naturally took this opportunity to show his face in front of the villagers, and under his unashamed publicity, in addition to the cart of grain he took away, their family also received unanimous praise from the neighbors.

And Sun Bin, the third child who was admitted to Xiucai, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the eyeballs of the old couple, and he does not need to ask about the big and small affairs of the family, every time he goes home from the county school, the old grandson and Sun Yang always have to be careful to ask for warmth.

Needless to say, in addition to the rations to be taken away, Sun Bin had to take away two taels of silver for the monthly living expenses alone.

There are two 'ancestors' in the family who need to be carefully offered, and Sun Zhou, who is the second in the family, naturally has to act as the one who provides for the old grandson and Sun Yang.

So since Sun Chen's mother, Sun Li, entered the door, she and Sun Zhou did all the work inside and outside the house.

got up earlier than the chickens, but they were as tired as dogs, which is a true portrayal of the two of them.

Even so, in the eyes of Sun Chen's grandmother Sun Yang, she was not happy at all about this second daughter-in-law, who was as taciturn as the second child and only knew how to work hard.

In her eyes, the second daughter-in-law who looked like a submissive woman made her ridiculed in the neighborhood, purely deliberately ruining her reputation. Look at the old family, when did you not tell others that you are kind to others and treat your daughter-in-law as a good mother-in-law?! The face that is like a pocket all day long, it is annoying to look at!

Knowing that his mother didn't want to see his mother-in-law, but Sun Zhou had a soft temper and a clumsy tongue, so he could only comfort her every time her daughter-in-law was angry.

The mother-in-law didn't want to see her, and the head of the house had such a calm attitude, and Sun Li, who was originally pampered and naïve in his mother's family, chose to compromise. Every time I go back to my parents' house, I report good news but not bad news, and I pick up good words from my mother-in-law's house. Let her parents and brothers who want to help her seek justice at her in-law's house grit her teeth, she really hates iron and steel.

There is no way, my daughter (sister-in-law) said that she was not angry, and her mother's family naturally did not go to her mother-in-law's house to say, so she could only help secretly.

Sun Chen's mother did not recuperate well when she gave birth to Sun Chen, coupled with her hard work all year round, her physical condition has not been good.

When Sun Chen was eleven years old, because he was washing clothes by the river at the entrance of the village, he accidentally slipped into the river that had just thawed and suffered a cold, and since then he has been inseparable from the medicine jar, but his body is getting weaker and weaker, and two years later, he and his sister who are only eight years old have died.

Although at that time, Sun Chen and his sister were already sensible, and his sister could even make some simple meals, Sun Chen followed his father to work in the fields every day, which was worthy of half a crop.

But the child without a mother is pitiful, his father Sun Zhou is a dutiful son, and most of the family's income is bluffed away by his mother, leaving only enough for the three of them to eat and drink, and Sun Chen's brothers and sisters usually don't even have meat.

Although the life of the grandfather is hard, Sun Zhou is not the kind of person who will treat children harshly, Sun Chen and his sister are not only occasionally ridiculed by their grandmother and uncle's neighbors, but they also live comfortably.

Unexpectedly, the good times did not last long, and Sun Yang, under the encouragement of his eldest daughter-in-law, actually remembered to help Sun Zhou ask for a house.

Is Sun Zhou's sister-in-law pitiful to the second uncle's family? Of course not.

Because of the lack of labor of the second brother and sister, the old grandson died of illness a year after Sun Li's death, and the work in the field in the past two years has not been as fast as before. And the day they go home every year is fixed, coming back under the banner of helping the family do the work, and the work is done naturally without doing it, but if it is not done...

So in the past two years, the eldest Sun Qi, even his daughter-in-law Sun Wang, and Sun Qi's son Sun You, will be forced to work on the ground several times.

Change the date each time you go home? How's that going to work? Not to mention that every time I delayed going home in the past, it would make the neighbors think a lot, and it was not easy for Sun Qidong's family to adjust the time to ask for leave.

After careful and rigorous searching, under the introduction of Sun Yang's sister-in-law, he finally helped Sun Zhou find a partner who was willing to marry.

The other party is a widow, with a ten-year-old daughter, looking Zhouzheng, in the past, her mother-in-law refused to let her remarry in order to have someone to work, and some time ago her daughter was sick, and her mother-in-law didn't want to take medical expenses for treatment, so she agreed to let her take her daughter to remarry.

Although it is said that there is no dowry, the eight taels of silver in the ready-made Lang Lang are not a small amount, not counting the expenses of taking medicine to see Lang Zhong in the future. is another widow with an oil bottle, and most people are really not happy to get married, but what the Sun family values is her ability.

According to Sun Yang's sister-in-law, in addition to her bad life, this woman cooks no worse than Sun Li's at home and abroad, and the important point is that her body is much better than that of Sun Li's family, and she has not had a headache and brain fever all year round, which is a big advantage, compared to Sun Li's, how much medicine money has to be saved!

Although the oil bottle still needs to take medicine for a while, it is different from Sun Li's situation, there will always be a good time, and when he gets married in the future, he can still get a dowry gift, how suitable is Sun Yang's.

Originally, Sun Zhou was against this matter, his original plan was very simple, he had children and daughters, and after a few years of hard work, he married his son a daughter-in-law.

But how could Sun Qi let him get his wish, and persuaded his younger brother bitterly, and finally said that if Sun Zhou did not agree to remarry, he would not be filial to his mother, and the neighbors would also say that his brother was not harmonious, and he did not think about the single Sun Chen at all, which was to trap his brother in unkindness. As a great filial son, Sun Zhou, a good younger brother, could only reluctantly agree.
