Quick Wear: I'm Wandering in My Little World

Chapter 331 My Five Brothers Are Bosses 5

When the five brothers arrived at Wang's house, they saw Wang Sheng eating. The rice, stir-fried shredded potatoes with pork, stewed pork with pickled mustard greens, and scrambled eggs on the table seemed to have a magical effect, making the five brothers' mouths water.

The five brothers had eaten countless delicious foods, but now they were penniless and had nothing at home. After working for most of the day, they were starving.

The five brothers looked at each other, and the fifth brother spoke weakly.

"Brother-in-law, can we have a meal at your house?"

Wang Sheng looked up at the five brothers

"No, are you five really scholars?"

The five brothers knew that Wang Sheng was mocking them and felt ashamed, but they could do nothing about it, so Zhang Chengyang stepped forward.

"Brother-in-law, my eldest sister married you. As her brother-in-law, shouldn't you take care of us?"

Wang Sheng smiled

"Zhang Chengyang, you want me and your elder sister to be brother-supporting demons? Don't dream! Get out of here right now, and don't ever enter my house again."

The five brothers didn't want to leave, but Wang Sheng's aura was overwhelming. With Zhang Chengyang's sense of danger, he felt it was best to leave first.

The five brothers returned home dejectedly. There was no fine grain like rice at home, only coarse grain like corn grits.

The five brothers were used to a good life and hadn't eaten whole grains for years. But their stomachs were singing the empty city plan. They were too hungry. There was no other way, so Zhang Chengyang asked the third and fourth brothers to cook corn grits porridge, and each of the five brothers had a bowl.

The third and fourth brothers only made corn grits porridge, without even the ordered dishes. Zhang Chenggong burst into tears while eating. In his previous life, Zhang Chenggong had been a wealthy businessman, unlike his brothers who held official positions and needed to hide their feelings. He had lived a life of luxury. He was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, but now he could only eat a bowl of corn grits porridge without any vegetables. He burst into tears.

Zhang Chenggong is now 8 years old. Due to his physical condition, he has the mentality of a child.

"Brother, I want to eat rice and meat, not this. Even at this time in my previous life, I never suffered this kind of hardship."

When Zhang Chengyang died, he was a second-rank official. After years of ups and downs in officialdom, he was responsible for handling the dirty matters for the fifth prince, and he had a dark temperament.

"To shut up"

Zhang Chenggong was tactless and didn't realize that Zhang Chengyang was enduring.

"I won't shut up, I don't want to eat this"

Zhang Chengyang stood up, and the 14-year-old Zhang Chengyang picked up the 8-year-old Zhang Chenggong and threw him to the ground with force.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. If you hadn't been a shrewd man in your previous life, divorcing your wife and remarrying, would your father-in-law have helped the Crown Prince deal with the Fifth Prince? Because of you, the Fifth Prince failed and we were beheaded. And you still dare to cry and make a fuss here? I wish I could kill you right away."

Zhang Chenggong was thrown to the ground and became quiet, only daring to make excuses in a low voice.

"You haven't fought the prince yet, but you blame me alone. Why didn't you tell me when I provided you with a lot of money?"

Zhang Chengyang raised his foot and was about to kick Zhang Chenggong. Seeing this, Zhang Chenggong quickly got up and ran away. Zhang Chengming held Zhang Chengyang back.

"Brother, don't worry about Lao Wu for now, let's discuss what to do next."

Zhang Chengyang sat down with a gloomy face

Although the eldest brother Zhang Chengyang is the leader among the five brothers, the one who always comes up with ideas is the second brother Zhang Chengming. Zhang Chengming is the military advisor of the five brothers.

"Brother, we must find a way to coax our elder sister. Without her, there will be no one to farm our land, no one to repay our debts, and we will have no money to study."

"Of course I know this, but judging by the current situation, my eldest sister might have been reborn. We treated her so badly in our last life, she won't care about us anymore."

The third brother Zhang Chengli and the fourth brother Zhang Chengwan looked indifferent.

"Brother, our eldest sister loves us the most. If we coax her, she will come back to take care of us. Besides, we didn't do anything. We just didn't let her live with us. We didn't beat or kill her. She died early because she couldn't bear it. We can't be blamed."

The five brothers' mindsets were distorted by their parents since childhood, and they believed that their eldest sister should sacrifice for them and not ask for anything in return. They did not think they were wrong in their previous life, but only thought that their eldest sister was being unreasonable.

After hearing what the third and fourth brothers said, Zhang Chengyang also thought it was feasible. The eldest sister loved the five brothers the most, so how could she ignore them? She was just angry now, and she just needed to be coaxed.

"Big sister is easy to coax, but I don't think Wang Sheng is a good person. He seems to have been reborn. He no longer helps Big sister take care of us and is very hostile to us."

The second brother thought about it

"Brother, don't worry about Wang Sheng. He is devoted to me. As long as we can coax me, he will listen to me and there's nothing we can do to him."

"Then let's go and coax Big Sister while Wang Sheng is away."

After the four of them had discussed it, they finished their porridge and left the house. In the yard, the bodies of Zhang's father and mother lay on the ground, and the five brothers had not yet dealt with them.

The five brothers were cold-hearted and showed little gratitude towards Zhang's parents. They had no money, could not afford a coffin, and had no plans for a funeral.

Zhang Chengyang took out the kang mat from Zhang's father and mother's room. Several people worked together to roll up Zhang's father and mother with the kang mat and put them on a wooden cart. They pushed it to the Zhang family cemetery. The five brothers dug a big hole and buried Zhang's father and mother.

It was already late when they got home. The five brothers were very tired and decided to go to bed.

The Zhang family also has three rooms, with the same layout as the Wang family. The two rooms on the left and right are bedrooms, and the middle one is the kitchen and dining area.

The three rooms of the Zhang family were not as big as those of the Wang family, and their house was not as nice as the Wang family's, with a thatched roof.

There are two bedrooms, one for Zhang's father and mother, one for the five brothers, and the other for the firewood shed built behind where the original owner slept.

The five brothers were used to sleeping in big beds, having servants to help them bathe, and having beautiful wives and concubines to accompany them every night. Looking at the small kang and the worn quilt, the five of them felt a little overwhelmed.

In their previous life, they lived in two separate rooms. The eldest and second sons slept in Zhang's father and mother's room, while the third, fourth and fifth sons still slept in this room.

But in this life, the kang mat in Zhang's father and mother's room was taken away, so they could only squeeze into one room.

The sadness of the five brothers was in stark contrast to that of the Wang family. Wang Sheng and Zhang Xintong slept in a spacious room with new quilts and mattresses, and they were well fed and well dressed. They slept soundly.

When Zhang Xintong woke up, she was in Wang Sheng's arms. Wang Sheng was pressed against her back, with his arms around her slender waist, holding her.

Zhang Xintong turned over and faced Wang Sheng.

"Get up! There's still unharvested crops in the fields."

It was autumn harvest time, and their village was planting corn. Yesterday, Wang Sheng had gone to help his aunt's family in the next village harvest their land. Today, besides the wedding, it was their turn to harvest their own land.

Marriages here aren't that complicated; they just set a date and the woman goes straight to the man's house. The lack of formality is due to poverty, but compared to other places, the fact that the people in this village have enough to eat is already very good.

Wang Sheng hugged the nervous Xintong

“There’s no shortage of food.”

"We can't just leave the grain lying around in the fields. That'll give it away to others. You came back so early yesterday. Will your aunt's family come to help harvest the land today?"

"I came back early yesterday, and they hadn't finished collecting their business yet, so I can't come over today."

"Then it's just the two of us working today, great!"
