In the late years of the Daqian era, tyrants roamed freely, war erupted endlessly, and the people could not sustain their lives. 
After transmigration, Chen Jie finds himself as a drunken gambler with a pair of unfortunate sisters at home.

The elder one, Su Yunjin, is his wife, and he also has a five-year-old sister-in-law, Su Yunrui. 
Their family is so poor they can barely make ends meet. 
Then suddenly, his beautiful wife comes smiling, bringing him a bowl of hot porridge. 
"Husband, I was wrong yesterday. Please have some porridge while it's hot."
Seeing the bruises on his wife's face, Chen Jie feels something is amiss.

Ding~
[Daily Information has been updated]
[1. Yesterday, you gambled away the last three acres of good land, beat Su Yunjin while drunk, and planned to sell the five-year-old Su Yunrui, to recover your losses.]
[2. The Su sisters rely on each other. Su Yunrui is Su Yunjin's only hope.]
[3. Su Yunjin, having lost hope, traded her mother's hairpin three days ago for a pack of arsenic.]

...Arsenic!
Staring at the hot porridge brought to his lips, Chen Jie looks up at his wife, seeing the faint bruise on her face and her eyes shifting away, avoiding his gaze.

"Honey!"
"Yes?"
"You didn't really drugged me, did you?"

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

Chen Jie and Zhou Chu together paid their respects to Peng Shizhong with tea. Peng Shizhong took a sip of the tea, and then patted each of them twice on their backs, signifying an elder's blessing for peace and good health.


Having completed this ceremony, Peng Shizhong then turned to the Smart Brain of the Fishing Guild, Tang Ziyue, and said, "Please trouble Mr. Tang to take up the brush."


Tang Ziyue nodded, familiar with the process, and approached the scroll at hand.


This scroll was the family genealogy of the Peng Family, recording the lineage of the Pengs, and the adoptive sons were to be added to it as well, for they were eligible to inherit Peng Shizhong's legacy.


Soon after, Tang Ziyue had filled in the names of Chen Jiusi and Zhou Chu at the end.


With this, the ceremony was considered complete.


At this moment, the two formally became Peng Shizhong's adoptive sons, acknowledged by everyone.
