Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Intelligence Update
After delivering the fish soup, Chen Jie headed back home.
Little Douding stared at the piping hot fish soup, drooling.
However, she stood there sensibly, eagerly watching outside, waiting for Chen Jie to return.
It was the first time she so desperately wanted her bad brother-in-law to hurry home.
Finally, Chen Jie's figure appeared at the courtyard door, and Little Douding excitedly shouted, "Brother-in-law, you're back."
"Mm, I'm back."
Chen Jie responded with a smile, entered the house, and Su Yunjin had already started preparing the meal. Despite wearing old hemp clothes patched up, from behind, her curvaceous figure was still noticeable.
It was very tempting.
Chen Jie admired for a moment and then shifted his gaze to the dining table.
Su Yunjin had already served the fish soup. Chen Jie had a particularly large basin with a whole fish in it, while she and Little Douding used bowls. Little Douding had a full bowl of fish soup, and she only had a small half-bowl.
And the half fish left in the pot was mainly in Little Douding's bowl.
At this moment, Little Douding was extremely happy, sipping the fish soup with a smile on her face; Su Yunjin was silently sipping her own small amount of fish soup.
Chen Jie used chopsticks to lift some fish from his basin, split it open, and placed half of the fish meat into Su Yunjin's bowl.
Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie in surprise, and he said, "Boosting your strength."
Su Yunjin tried to refuse, but Chen Jie picked up the basin, not allowing her to return the fish. Helplessly, she tried to give the fish to Little Douding, but seeing Chen Jie watching her, Little Douding also picked up her bowl and ran over to Chen Jie's side, grabbed her little stool, and sat down next to him.
Su Yunjin for a moment didn't know what to say.
"Eat up."
Chen Jie spoke and began eating with Little Douding, leaving only Su Yunjin with a resigned expression on her face, and she could even see a bit of loneliness. When had her sister betrayed her?
The meal was very enjoyable, and after a hearty dinner, it also turned dark. In the countryside, with nothing much to do, everyone slept early.
Chen Jie discovered that Su Yunjin was not sleeping with him!
Although the Chen family's house was dilapidated, it had an inner and an outer room. The outer room was large, and the inner room was a bit small, also filled with some clutter.
Chen Jie occupied the outer room alone, while the Su sisters squeezed into the small room.
Seeing the wary look Su Yunjin gave him, Chen Jie decided not to change anything for the time being and just slept in the large room.
The night deepened, and the moon hung high in the sky. Chen Jie and Su Yunjin lay in their respective beds, unable to sleep.
Moonlight shone through the window into the room, and both of them stared at the moon in the sky, each lost in their own thoughts.
Only Little Douding, carefree, slept very sweetly, even smacking her lips in her dream, dreaming that her brother-in-law had caught another large fat rabbit. The rabbit was so cute that she couldn't get enough.
Rabbits are so adorable, they must taste good~
Meanwhile, the two adults on the beds were pondering their own thoughts.
Su Yunjin was reflecting on the events of the day, with her own poisoning, then Lu Qin along with Lu San causing trouble, and Chen Jiusi's attitude towards her had dramatically changed 180 degrees. What was going on?
This man, has he truly reformed, or is he just numbing his own mind, waiting for me to lower my guard before selling Ruirui again...
As she spoke, she tightened her grip on Little Douding. This naïve girl, always so foolishly friendly with anyone who offers her food; how could she not have a bit of wariness!
Recalling how the two of them sat side by side at dinner today, opposing her, Su Yunjin tapped Su Yunrui's little head, "You little traitor~"
After saying this, she laughed. Everything today felt like a dream, how good it would be if he could always be like this...
Su Yunjin thought to herself, and gradually drifted into sleep, sleeping especially comfortably that night.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie was looking at the moonlight in the sky. Just yesterday, he was in his company discussing life with female anchors, and now, suddenly, he found himself in this world.
But this was also quite good. Although he was penniless and bereft in this life, at least he was young.
Chen Jie's body was only eighteen years old, truly youthful. In his past life, although he was successful and even caught the internet boom, selling a restaurant and starting an entertainment livestreaming company, making a lot of money through cultivating female anchors and livestream sales, he was already nearly forty. Youth, once gone, never returned.
Now, although he lacked the money of his previous life, and the living conditions in this world were quite harsh, he possessed a young body. Only those who have experienced aging realize the value of youth.
As the saying goes, "Youth does not know the preciousness of time; at forty, one weeps in vain!"
Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at the moon but living in this world would not be easy. He needed to make a good plan for himself.
First and foremost, practicing martial arts was essential. In this world, where martial skill was revered, not practicing martial arts would be futile. But Yang Chun Skill was strange; it didn't seem like any Martial Arts Skill. Although it could strengthen the body, it lacked any lethal power. He needed to find a way to learn some combat-related Martial Arts.
Then there was the matter of livelihood.
The food today was quite good, but tomorrow's meals were still uncertain.
Thus, he had to find a way to get by. Today, he had already considered it: farming, trading, or becoming a house servant for a wealthy family were not viable options.
Joining the local guild and becoming a part of society seemed promising.
But alas, he had no connections!
So, the path forward was still quite challenging.
Ding~
Chen Jie was pondering his way out when a notification sound suddenly rang in his ears.
Chen Jie perked up and checked the time; it was past midnight. It seemed the information system refreshed daily at midnight. He had just obtained this system and was still in the process of figuring everything out.
Opening the information panel:
