Su Yan was just about to eat when she caught a glimpse of a group of men coming over from the corner of her eye. They were the same group of men who had just moved rice with Qin An.
Before they said anything, they sat down at the table where they were sitting. The man with the beard glanced at the chicken and said "ha".
"They stole our jobs, but they actually ate quite well."
After saying that, he took out his chopsticks and planned to pick up the chicken. Before he could pick up the chicken, his hand was squeezed tightly by strong hands.
He felt pain immediately, and soon a strong force shook his hand away, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.
Qin An stared at him coldly, "What do you want to do?"
Wei Gang's arm was so painful that he couldn't speak for a while. Suddenly, several other people gathered around him. Su Yan knew they wanted to cause trouble for Qin An as soon as they saw them.
"There are so many people here. As long as you take action, we will go to the Yamen to file a complaint."
The man wearing gray half-armed clothes said evilly: "Don't scare me, I'm not scared."
"You are not allowed to do the rice shop work in the future, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Su Yan was a little angry. They didn't steal or rob. They were doing some work but someone still came to make trouble. "Why are you so rude? I want to see how arrogant you are. You are not even afraid of the government anymore."
Qin An's face was tense, obviously unhappy, and asked: "How can I cause trouble?"
Wei Gang came to his senses and reached out to grab Qin An's collar, "Are you looking for death? Go find out who I am, Wei Gang!"
Seeing that he was taking action, Su Yan quickly stood up and came over. Qin An was afraid of hurting her, so she quickly stretched out her hand to hold him down.
Then he stretched out his hand to hold Wei Gang's hand, squeezed it hard, and immediately let it go. He said in a low tone: "My wife and I are having dinner, and I don't want to make trouble with you."
He paused and then said: "I don't live in the county, so I won't compete with you for my livelihood."
He looked so fierce that some people were a little scared, otherwise they wouldn't have called so many people together to come and cause trouble for him.
While he was talking, he did not let go of Wei Gang's hand, but squeezed him harder. He was usually easy to talk to, but when he got angry, it was hard to talk.
"Just talk, don't move your hands."
Wei Gang, a man weighing more than 100 pounds, cried out in pain, "Ah~"
After a while, Qin An let go and said in a low voice: "If you don't leave, I will take over Mipu's job."
Several men looked at each other in confusion. Knowing that he was not from the county town, they breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't take their jobs, there would be nothing to celebrate.
Wei Gang couldn't bear this tone, but the people around him persuaded him, "Forget it, as long as he doesn't steal his job."
"Yes, it doesn't look easy to mess with. If you get into trouble, you will be scolded when you go home."
"Let's go, Brother Wei."
In the end, Wei Gang left with a livid face, and the others followed behind. The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked people not to report to the official.
Qin An watched the person walk away before looking away. Then he looked at Su Yan and gently patted the back of her hand, "It's okay, eat."
Su Yan reached out and patted his collar. Looking at the rough man's face, she didn't know how many people he had been bullied by himself in the past.
"You eat too."
It was already noon after the two of them finished eating. In the afternoon, they went to the county town market and bought a lot of things. Su Yan thought that since she came to the county town, she bought a carriage.
After leaving her things at the inn, she took a sip of water and said, "Let's go see the carriage. We won't bother anyone else when we get back."
Qin An didn't have any objections. He said "Yeah" and brought a clean handkerchief over, "I'll rub your back."
I have been walking for more than half an hour, and with the hot weather, I will naturally start to sweat on my back.
Su Yan was not shy, so she let go of her clothes. Qin An reached in and wiped it carefully. After wiping it, he wiped it himself.
Just rub it randomly after a few times.
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she took the handkerchief and wiped it with him, "It's a good thing you have thick skin, otherwise a layer of it would fall off."
Qin An chuckled, turned around and picked her up, Su Yan's legs were clamped on his waist, "What are you doing?"
"Just a hug."
Qin An held her in his arms and looked at her level. He leaned over and kissed her. After a while, he put her down.
The two rested in the house for a while and then went out to look at the carriage. It took them a long time to find a stable.
The uncle in charge took them to see horses and asked along the way, "What price do you want to buy it for?"
"A poor horse here costs about 10 taels of silver, a medium one costs 20 to 30 taels, and a better one costs 50 to 60 taels of silver." As he spoke, he looked at their clothes.
The fabric isn't bad, but it's not expensive either.
He added: "If you want to use it for traveling at home, a small horse will suffice."
"The horses here are very energetic and can be used for more than ten years."
Hearing this, Qin An looked at Su Yan, "Daughter-in-law, which one do you want to buy?"
Su Yan doesn't know much about horses, but if you want to buy one, buy one that is energetic, otherwise it will be troublesome to get sick from time to time.
"Look at it and buy it better."
Naturally, the last few words were said in a low voice, otherwise the person in charge would definitely knock them.
Qin An said "Yeah", "Look at it all."
Hearing this, the steward didn't say anything and took them to see the smaller ones first. "They are all strong stallions. There is nothing wrong with them. They are just not very good in appearance. They are a bit ugly, but there are no other problems."
.”
Su Yan couldn't see the horses, so she watched Qin An look at the horses. Qin An obviously knew how to pick the horses. After looking at them one by one, she finally stopped at a brown horse with a bunch of white hair on its head.
"How much is this?"
"For ten taels of silver, you still know how to pick a horse. This horse is considered a medium-sized horse, but it's just a bit of white hair on its head. Many people don't like it, so we brought it here." The person in charge said honestly.
.
Qin An said "Yeah" and reached out to touch the horse's head to see if it was docile. If it wasn't docile, he wouldn't buy it no matter how good it was.
It's okay for him to fall, but not for his wife at home.
After touching it for a few times, the horse didn't resist, but came close to let him touch it.
He looked at Su Yan and said, "Just buy this."
"Okay." Su Yan nodded.
The horse hadn't been sold for several months, but now someone wanted it. The steward was very happy, "Okay, I'll have someone bring it out. Do you want the carriage? One dollar and fifteen taels of silver."
Seeing the man nod, he added: "I'll take you to see it, and you can choose what kind of carriage you want."
Afterwards, the three of them went to see the carriage. Su Yan chose a carriage with a gray curtain, which was stain-resistant and easy to wash.
Not long after paying the money, the steward asked someone to hitch up the carriage. Qin An checked first to make sure there was nothing wrong before hugging Su Yan and getting on the carriage.
He sat on the board outside and grabbed the horse's rope and hurried on.
When they arrived at the inn, the waiter said that there was no place to feed the horses. The two of them thought that they had almost bought everything, so they planned to rush back overnight.
When we left the county town, the sun had already set, and the sky was crimson, which was really beautiful.
Su Yan sat inside for a while, then came out and sat next to Qin An. Qin An glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said in a low voice: "Hold me."
As he spoke, he held her hand with one hand and placed it on his muscular waist.
