The next morning, Chen Xi went to the medicine shop very early.

In the past, whenever the dawn broke out, Hui Niang would get up early to do things, either sifting medicine in the yard or preparing to open a shop, but that morning, Hui Niang's people were not seen.

Chen Xi asked Ning'er who was making breakfast before she knew that Hui Niang stayed up late last night. Ning'er got up in the middle of the night and heard the sound of the fourth pm drum. Hui Niang was not asleep yet.

The virtuous and diligent Hui Niang slept in until the sun was noon. It was still a little louder when Zhou came to open the shop, Hui Niang walked out of the room with her head in her hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister, I didn't expect it to be so late." Hui Niang had a little apology on her face, and she was still listless after sitting down.

Lu Xier walked over and grabbed Hui Niang's hand and shook it: "Mom, mom, are you sick?"

Chen Xi pulled her back and said, "Your mother is not feeling well, don't bother her. After dinner, play with sister Daier. Wait until I come back from school in the afternoon and play with sandbags?"

Lu Xier's filial piety just emerged was quickly replaced by the childish innocence of playing.

When Lu Xier and Lin Dai held hands and went to the backyard, Hui Niang sighed softly: "Last night, a hundred million, small, small! I said I was watching it too late, but the story was just in a wonderful place, which made people feel anxious and I couldn't sleep when I thought about it."

Zhou immediately slapped Shen Xi on the back of the head: "It's all you guy who prints something, so you can't get enough rest for Aunt Sun."

"How can I blame Xiaolang? I was thinking about the story in my heart, and there were other things that I couldn't sleep. Xiaolang, after printing this first volume, I will print it quickly, otherwise I will always have a knot in my heart."

Chen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, this first volume has just been printed and has not been taken to the bookstore to try it out. Is it faster to print the second volume?"

Hui Niang then realized: "That's right, then let's go to the bookstore today to check it out. Each store has a few books, hoping to sell more."

Hui Niang was worried that she could not sleep at night. It was too late to wait until she finished the book. Chen Xi smiled and said, "Since Auntie likes reading it, I don't have to wait for the second volume to be printed. I will just read the manuscript to Auntie first in the future."

"yes!"

Hui Niang showed a look of surprise on her face, "I am still smart, but I am afraid that the manuscript will be dirty when I read it, which will affect the layout later."

Chen Xi grinned: "It's okay, just write a piece if it gets dirty."

Hui Niang was so happy that she could continue reading the story when she came back tonight.

Although it was a million to a small one last night! I said I was watching it very late and I was not very energetic during the day, but Hui Niang was a hardworking person. When she said that she was busy with business in the pharmacy, she still remembered selling books. Because Chen Xi was going to school, she could only go to the bookstore to discuss consignment. According to the plan, each bookstore put a few books to see the market.

But getting involved in a new business can easily hit hard when you first start.

At this time, most of the bookstores were visited by scholars. When they arrived at the store, they mostly bought classics, history, and texts related to the imperial examinations, so they naturally would not take the initiative to ask questions. After school in the afternoon, Chen Xi went to various bookstores to read it, and the ones they sent said that the book of Yue Quan Biography was kept there and no one touched it.

At dusk that day, Shen Mingjun finally came back. Li and Shen Mingwen, who had been missing for more than ten days, were also returned at the same time.

In the Shen family yard, Shen Mingwen stood there with a sloppy face and a sloppy face, without any gentleness as a scholar, and Li didn't care about being decent. She sat on the edge of the well and said nothing, and the anger on her face showed her mood at this moment.

"Brother, why don't you give me some guilt, I might forgive you." Shen Mingjun was not very good at speaking, and when he saw that his mother and brother were silent, he wanted to talk to each other.

Li angrily rebuked: "How did I give birth to this evil? He was beaten for theft despite his etiquette and demeanor, but he wanted to lose face in the Shen family?"

Chen Xi saw this curtain as soon as he entered the door. Suddenly, he felt that he had come to the wrong place. Zhou quickly came over and dragged Chen Xi out. His grandmother wanted to teach his father a lesson. He had to take the child away first, so as not to affect the father's lofty status in the children's minds.

Chen Xi didn't walk far away and stood at the door and listened for a while. Only then did he realize that Shen Mingwen had planned to run away from home. Before he entered the city, he asked his wife for some broken silver, saying that he was going to buy something after entering the city. As a result, the day after the year-end exam, he left Ninghua with the money and wanted to leave.

Maybe Shen Mingwen didn't have much opportunity to see the world, was stingy and stingy, and walked on both legs on the road, sleeping in the open air, and didn't even know when others stole the money from him. Shen Mingwen was hungry and stole steamed buns sold by others in the townships in southern Jianning. He was beaten in the street. Fortunately, Li and Shen Mingjun arrived and rescued him.

"You said, how can you be worthy of your father under the tiny? I will reflect on me after I go back!" Li was ready to stop after teaching the lesson. After all, it was not a decent thing. No matter how wrong Shen Mingwen did, he would have to return to Taohua Village and be punished. Now he has to explain what happened here first and go on the road.

Shen Mingwen stammered for a few times, and finally said in a firm tone: "I don't want to go home."

Shen Mingwen has been married and had children for many years, and his eldest son is almost grown up, but he still lives in the shadow of his mother. This is the first time he calls out the life he wants.

Chen Xi looked in through the crack in the door. At this time, Li's old face turned red with anger. She worked hard to cultivate her that her proud son was actually talking back to her.

This kind of scene is useless to see too much, so Chen Xi decided to go back to the pharmacy immediately.

After it was completely dark, Shen Mingjun went to the pharmacy to explain a few simple words to Zhou, saying that he wanted to accompany Li to the eldest house. Judging from his embarrassed face, the problem was not solved.

"Brother is angry and goes to the city inn for a while. I will give him the money first. My mother is so angry that she can't speak. It seems that my mother doesn't want to care about my brother anymore when she returns to her hometown tomorrow."

Shen Mingjun looked helpless when he said this. In fact, the whole thing had nothing to do with him. Li went to the city and he couldn't manage the business of the tea shop. The Wang family didn't go to work, and he couldn't even go back to the house. In the end, he was not pleased with both sides, and my mother didn't appreciate it, and his brother thought he was his mother's accomplice.

Zhou did not pour cold water on this time, and did not even say a word of complaint. He told her husband to take care of her health and then sent him out gentlely. Seeing Shen Mingjun walking away, Zhou suddenly became angry and threw the dustpan in his hand heavily on the ground.

"Sister, why are you angry with the dustpan? My brother-in-law is just tired of family affairs, and he doesn't want to treat you coldly. Sister should be more cautious." Hui Niang persuaded.

It would be fine if he didn't persuade him, but after he persuaded him, Zhou wiped his tears.

After a while, Zhou's mood was relieved slightly. The two sisters walked into the main hall of the backyard and sat at the dining table, but Zhou did not mean to bring up chopsticks.

Hui Niang picked up food in Zhou's bowl and comforted him: "Xiao Lang is growing up now. No matter how unhappy the couple is, we should not show it in front of the children. Alas, let's be anxious to make a new life. The books have been delivered to several book shops for a few days, but the books have not been sold, which is really worrying."

Zhou shook his head listlessly: "It's okay if you can't sell it. There are so many bad things, so how can you still have the heart to care about these?"

"Look at what my sister said, feelings are not the money paid by my sister? Don't forget that this sister is the big deal. If we are not doing well, we will lose money in business and my sister will accept it. But if my sister loses money because she is absent-minded and disobedient, she will not rely on it."
