Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 139: Chapter 106, husband, today I am truly, truly very happy_4 Chapter 139: Chapter 106, husband, today I am truly, truly very happy_4 Envy indeed!

Even without jealousy and hate!

People only feel jealous of those who are slightly stronger than themselves, not those who are much stronger.

Such is human nature.

Chen Jie was now like a person from a different world compared to these fellow villagers.

Chen Jie escorted Su Yunjin back home, and all along the way, Su Yunjin was smiling.

She truly felt a sense of elation, having previously experienced days in the village like a nightmare.

Back then, her husband was a brute.

He only knew how to beat and scold her; when others bullied her, he did nothing, and might even join in the bullying.

The entire village treated her as if she were a jinx.

Back then, she couldn’t lift her head when she walked, and she honestly wished for death.

But unexpectedly, whether it was the heavens opening their eyes or the Buddha performing a miracle, her husband changed completely.

She even began to suspect that this man had had his heart replaced, as his personality had completely transformed.

The old Chen Jiusi was cowardly, greedy, an alcoholic, a gambler, a bully to the weak and fearful of the strong, just like a beast.

But the current Chen Jiusi was hardworking, strong, protective, tender, truly the man of her dreams.

Could it really be that a miracle from the Buddha had happened?

Was he still the same Chen Jiusi as before?

Su Yunjin didn’t know, but she didn’t care; she loved the Chen Jiusi of now, even if he was not the Chen Jiusi of the past.

What did it matter?

She didn’t love the Chen Jiusi of the past!

“Jiu Si, you go and talk to Xiao Hu.

You won’t be of much help with the packing at home.”

Su Yunjin didn’t want Chen Jie’s help.

Hearing this, Chen Jie replied, “Hmm, just pack a couple of changes of clothes, there’s nothing worth taking from the house, once we get to the city, I will buy you new ones.”

“Okay.”

Su Yunjin simply responded, yet she still carried on packing her old belongings.

After having gone through tough times, she found it hard to discard these things.

Chen Jie and Xiao Hu went to the courtyard, and Xiao Hu said, “Brother Jiu Si, I have something to tell you!”

“Oh, go ahead.”

Chen Jie responded to Xiao Hu, who thought for a moment and then said, “Brother Jiu Si, after we dealt with Lu San and Chen Sanliu, many young men in the village want to join you.”

“And today, after your victory in the arena, even more have come looking for you.

They’re currently waiting at my house.

What do you think, should we send them away, or—?”

After hearing this, Chen Jie asked, “Hmm, about how many people?”

“Today, fifteen came.”

Chen Jie thought it over and said, “Hmm, have them come here to me.”

“Brother Jiu Si, are you going to take them in?”

Chen Jie replied, “It’s not exactly taking them in, let’s give them some hope.”

Nodding, Xiao Hu started to leave, but Chen Jie added, “By the way, Hu Zi, go home and pack some valuables.

Tomorrow, come with me to the county.”

“Alright!”

Chen Jie felt that he should take a confidant with him to the county, like Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu was now quite powerful, especially since he had soaked in the Skin Tempering Soup prepared by Doctor Bai, standing just a step away from the Skin Buff Realm.

Xiao Hu’s talent was actually a bit better than Chen Jie’s.

Chen Jie had entered the Skin Buff Realm with three portions of Skin Tempering Soup, whereas Doctor Bai had made five portions, and two of the remainder were given to Xiao Hu.

With these two, Xiao Hu reached the level just one step shy of the Skin Buff Realm, a much stronger capability than that of ordinary farmhands.

Xiao Hu soon returned with a group of people, fifteen in total, lining up in two rows.

Xiao Hu said, “Call out.”

At this, the crowd shouted in unison, “Brother Jiu Si.”

Chen Jie looked over these young men who were prepared to follow him, all around eighteen or nineteen years old.

These youths had the most dreams; those slightly older would have their spirits crushed by life.

Chen Jie nodded to them and asked, “All of you want to follow me?”

The young men nodded in unison, “Yes.”

Chen Jie smiled and asked, “Why do you want to follow me?”

The youths looked at each other, at a loss for how to answer at first.

Chen Jie pointed to one of them and asked, “You, why?”

The youth blurted out immediately, “For the prestige!”

“And you?”

“I want my dad and mom to have a better life, to eat white-bread buns!”

“And you?”

“I, I don’t want to farm for a lifetime, I want to stand out!”

The group of young men were very earnest, and their words spoke genuine feelings.

Chen Jie knew some of them by name, others not as well, but he recognized them all—mostly from Xiantao Village, with a few from Upper Peach and Lower Peach.

Chen Jie said, “Very well, actually, I was just like you in the beginning, not wanting to spend a lifetime farming, wanting my family to have a good life, desiring prestige, for everyone to respect me.”

“But it’s truly difficult.

Just because I succeeded doesn’t mean you all will, too.

However, since you’ve come to me wanting to follow me,”

“I can’t just dismiss your aspirations and fail to offer you a path.”

“So, I’ll teach you all a set of boxing techniques.

If you are diligent and work hard, and you can achieve Small Success, you can come find me in the county, or find Xiao Hu.

From then on, you’ll be brothers of Chen Jiusi.”

“If you don’t succeed, it’s no big deal.

It will still be enough for self-defense and physical strengthening.

As long as you can master this boxing technique, you can also try your luck at the fishery.

They might take you as well, and you can consider yourselves friends of Chen Jiusi.”

“Of course, you can teach this boxing technique to others, to those you trust.

If they master it, they can come find me, and I will accept them as brothers too.”

Chen Jie slowly told the crowd.

Hearing this, the group of underlings were stunned for a moment, but they all nodded in agreement with Chen Jie’s suggestion.

Boxing techniques, you think they’re so easy to acquire.

Those at the bottom like them didn’t even have the capital to acquire boxing techniques.

When Chen Jie first learnt the Grand Ancestor Long Fist, he also learned it from Wu Hong.
