Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 603 The Loyal Husband of a Wife Who Supports Her Brother (12)

—The next day

"Get up so early?" Chen Runming seriously suspected that he had not slept for long.

The moon was very bright, and you could actually see a lot of things clearly when walking at night, but the sound of cicadas was indeed a bit torturous.

But for those in the village, they have long been accustomed to it.

Xu Xiaomo was reluctant to light the kerosene lamp. "You know what? Now is the perfect time to go out. By the time you and Chen Xuyan arrive in the city, it will be daybreak."

"What if we're late and everyone else is out? That would be such a hassle. Your brother isn't fully recovered yet, so it's better to go early and come back early."

She would feel uneasy if she didn't get the money soon.

Chen Runming yawned and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll go early and come back early."

"Why aren't you panicking at all? What if you can't get the money?" Xu Xiaomo felt helpless.

This person has such a big heart that he can remain calm even in such a big situation.

"Needless to say? This time it's definitely a sure win. I believe in my brother." He said this with a very confident look on his face.

Xu Xiaomo rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay, okay, whatever your brother says is right. If he can really get all the money back this time, not only will we not charge him a penny more, I'll even cook him a good meal."

She said this after careful consideration, although her careful consideration may be seen by others as just her words coming from nowhere.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Chen Runming quickly put on his clothes and shoes.

"You don't count a penny of our money. From now on, I will hide the money where you can't find it. Let's see how you can take it without permission!" Her trust in Chen Runming's money was overdrawn, but fortunately, no consequences were caused.

If something really happened, she would definitely have a huge fight with Chen Runming!

Chen Runming sighed helplessly, "I'm not a fool. He'll have more than enough money by then, so I certainly won't let myself suffer any loss."

Xu Xiaomo didn't believe the first half of his sentence at all. If he wasn't a fool, then who was?

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to make some food and you can bring it over to them."

"Hey, wife, what should I eat?" Chen Runming quickly mentioned himself, fearing that the other party would not make her own share.

Hasn’t Xu Xiaoshu done this before when he was angry?

"When have I ever delayed you?" When did he go out and let him go hungry? He always found a way to make sure he was full first, because he had to go out and work hard.

Sometimes the three of them were hungry, but he didn't know about it.

If I knew it, I would have to work harder. What if I died outside?

Xu Xiaomo had his own considerations in mind.

Chen Runming touched his nose awkwardly.

Chen Bingzhong got up almost as soon as Xu Xiaomo entered the kitchen.

He rubbed his eyes and said, "Mom, I'll add some firewood for you."

"Why are you getting up so early, kid? Go to sleep. I'm busy alone. I'm not cooking for the whole family. Let them finish eating first." Xu Xiaomo looked at her eldest son with heartache.

Chen Bingzhong shook his head. "It's okay. I'm only tired for this day. I don't get up this early every day. I just need to wait for Dad and Second Uncle to come back."

"I'll go get Weizhen later and sleep with her."

Xu Xiaomo still agreed, as it would indeed be faster with him adding firewood.

You definitely can't count on Chen Runming. He has burned the food countless times by adding firewood. If Xu Xiaomo didn't know that he was not sincere, he would have twisted his ears off.

Fortunately, the two boys in the family are capable and are good at washing clothes and cooking.

—Murao

When Chen Runming and Chen Bingzhong came over, Chen Xuyan and Chen Weizhen were still asleep.

The door knocked several times, but the person inside didn't respond. However, Chen Runming didn't dare to knock it hard, because the door would fall apart if he used a little more force.

Chen Weizhen, who was dazed, heard a knock on the door. He pushed Chen Xuyan, who was holding him, and said, "Dad, Dad."

Chen Xuyan opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"

There was another knock on the door, and he quickly got up and opened it.

"Brother, why are you guys here so early?"

"Your sister-in-law asked us to leave early. I went to Uncle Gui's house yesterday to borrow a bicycle. Let's go early and come back early to avoid disappointment. It's not a good idea to wait here all the time."

Chen Runming was actually very sleepy, but after washing his face with cold water, he felt much more awake.

It would be even better if I could fill my stomach.

Several people finished their food quickly.

"Dad, Second Uncle, I'll take Weizhen over to rest first. Please be careful on the road." He skillfully carried Chen Weizhen into his arms.

Chen Weizhen hugged his neck and put his face against Chen Bingzhong's neck.

"Okay, we'll try to get back before noon." Chen Xuyan drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp.

This was already an excellent meal for them, as they also ate some whole grains. If they only ate this thin porridge, they would probably not have the strength to walk a few steps.

"Okay." Chen Bingzhong hugged Chen Weizhen and left.

He walked steadily, and patted Chen Weizhen's back from time to time, which made the child in his arms feel very comfortable.

"Is Weizhen tired?" he asked.

Chen Weizhen's chin, which was resting on his shoulder, moved slightly.

"It's almost time. Let's sleep until noon this time, shall we? Dad has finished all the work at home today. He chopped the firewood, filled the water tank, and pulled the weeds. It seems like there's nothing else to do." Chen Bingzhong started talking.

Perhaps it was because Chen Weizhen was a good person to confide in. Even if he told her all the little things hidden in his heart, she wouldn't understand, wouldn't laugh at himself, and wouldn't say it out loud.

He kept muttering like this all the way until he reached the corner of his home, then he stopped talking and didn't speak again.

When he arrived home carrying Chen Weizhen, Xu Xiaomo was sitting in the yard waiting for them to come back.

"You and Weizhen should sleep in mother's room. Bingwen is snoring like thunder in there. You will definitely not sleep well if you go in. I will sleep with him." She glanced at Chen Weizhen in Chen Bingzhong's arms and touched her forehead.

Chen Bingzhong shook his head and said, "Mom, you can sleep with us. It's not like you don't have enough room."

"Okay." Xu Xiaomo nodded and simply picked up Chen Weizhen from his arms.

The little girl was very well-behaved and didn't cry out even when her belly was exposed.

"This dress is too short. When your father has money in a few days, I'll buy you some cloth to make you a flowery dress, okay? Our Weizhen will become a little beauty when she wears it, okay?" Xu Xiaomo leaned close to her face very intimately.

Chen Weizhen closed his eyes somewhat embarrassedly...
