Chapter 138: I cant see my wife giving things to others
"I want five. The last time my child ate your pancakes, he asked me for them. He didn't eat them when I fried them. He made me so angry." The woman smiled helplessly after saying this.
Su Yan smiled and said generously: "Sure, eldest sister, if you come here early tomorrow, I will give you one."
"About four quarters after Mao hour."
Upon hearing the offer of a cake, the woman was naturally happy and said, "Okay, I'll definitely keep it for me."
While the two were talking, Qin An had already packed up the stall and was waiting for Su Yan to get on the carriage.
Seeing that she had finished speaking, he bent down and carried her into the carriage. He waited until she sat firmly before getting in and said in a low voice, "What are you buying?"
Su Yan took out an umbrella from the carriage and held it over their heads, "There are still vegetables at home, so I won't buy them."
After hearing this, Qin An drove away with his carriage. The woman selling steamed buns said with envy: "They really have money and a carriage."
The woman who was about to buy pancakes just now glanced at the carriage driving away and said, "That's it."
"But the pancakes are delicious when they are made."
The fat woman who was shopping for groceries not far away looked in the direction of the carriage after listening to the two men's words, looking a little thoughtful.
…
Before the two of them had rested, the village chief asked all the men in the village to start building the bridge this afternoon, and asked five women to cook a big pot of rice every day.
Each family pays 20 cents for food first, and then takes away if it is not enough.
Except for the Li family, no one else had any objections. When Old Man Li saw that the village chief insisted on repairing it, he simply sat on the ground and said, "If you want to repair it, you can, but you must give my family two taels of silver. The boat I bought has not been used for long.
"
As soon as he heard this, the village chief looked ugly and said angrily: "Who will give you money? The government said to build the bridge, you go and ask the government for it."
"Why didn't the government give money to build the bridge? You must have taken it." Old Man Li said with a loud voice.
Everyone in the village knew that the government must have given money, but no one dared to say that they would ask the village chief to do things in the future.
You can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Old Man Li directly offended the village chief to death. The village chief shouted angrily: "Who took it? Li Guangming, please tell me clearly!"
The eldest son of the Li family was very capable of carrying things, so he quickly grabbed Old Man Li and hurriedly advised him: "Dad, forget it."
Old Mrs. Li also stepped forward to stop her, "What nonsense are you talking about, village chief? He just drank some wine and became drunk."
The village chief looked ugly and said, "That's it. Every family needs someone. If anyone is lazy, get out of the village."
Qin An didn't care whether the government gave him money or not. He counted out twenty coins and handed it to the village chief, "My wife doesn't cook." After that, he turned around and left.
He gave the money, and the village chief didn't say anything no matter how unhappy he was. Even if he didn't give it, he couldn't force Widow Li to work.
…
Qin An went to repair the bridge, while Su Yan washed their clothes in the yard.
"Sister, are you doing some laundry?" Goudan didn't have anything to do, so he came to talk to her with an embroidery job.
Su Yan pointed to the stool in the yard, "It's too hot today. I need to change my clothes when I go out."
"It's because of your diligence that I'm too lazy to wash them. I just need to change them once a day. Besides, my family is like killing them if I ask them to change them."
Mother Goudan took out her needle and thread and began to embroider. Then she thought of something and said, "Did you know that your family gave twenty coins to the village chief? He told you not to cook."
Qin An didn't say anything when he came back. He said it before. Su Yan nodded and said, "I know."
Goudan's mother said with envy: "Your family still loves people."
“It’s definitely too hot to cook on a hot day.”
Su Yan said while washing: "It's not that it's hot, it's just that I guess it won't stop."
"This too."
"Those women will definitely run against you. I'm not afraid. If anyone scolds me, I will scold him back."
Su Yan glanced at her, she was so confident, mostly because of the support of her brothers from her mother's family.
"If you can't win the scolding, I'll let my family beat them up."
Suddenly Goudan laughed out loud, and stopped after a while. His eyes soon fell on her belly, "Nothing happened yet?"
Su Yan naturally understood, shook her head and explained: "Not yet, the doctor said that I am too tired from the exercise, and I need to make up some days."
"Your body is a little fragile, so hurry up and make up for it. While you are young, you can have more children." Goudanfu said like a veteran.
Soon she said again: "My mother-in-law has a folk remedy, do you want it? I drank it for more than half a month before I became pregnant with the eldest child."
Su Yan didn't dare to mess around, shook her head and said: "I'll make up for it in a few days, thank you, eldest sister."
"Thank you, it's too hot today. My wife will probably lose a layer of skin when she comes back today." Goudanfu said in distress.
Su Yan raised her head and glanced at the sky. The bright sky made it hard to keep her eyes open. She was worried that the men at home would suffer from heat stroke. "I'm going to make some mung bean soup."
After saying that, he shook off the water on his hand and went to the kitchen.
"Sister, stay up a little longer, I'll go get the beans from my house."
Goudan's mother put down her things and ran out. She quickly entered the kitchen with a large bowl of beans and said, "Cook this for me."
"No one has eaten the ones from the year before last, and they are all infested with insects."
Su Yan took it and poured it on the dustpan. She rubbed it twice with her hands and found nothing bad. "It's done."
Seeing the woman's quick hands and feet, Goudan couldn't help but look at her a few more times. I never thought Widow Li was so capable before, nor did she have such a generous personality.
It's different when there is a man in the family.
A quarter of an hour after the mung bean soup was cooked and filled with ice in two bamboo tubes, Su Yan carried it out and went out. She had something to do, so she couldn't send it with her.
When she went there, there were a bunch of shirtless men picking rocks. They looked around but didn't see Qin An. However, other men saw her and no one knew who whistled.
She was too lazy to pay attention and was just about to wait under a nearby tree when she saw a rough man holding a stone half a man's height and moving over step by step.
Obviously very heavy.
A trace of distress flashed in Su Yan's eyes, and she walked over and whispered: "Don't be brave, let someone help you."
Qin An dropped the stone and calmed down for a while. The smell of sweat all over his body made him take two steps back. The sweat on his eyelashes made it difficult to open his eyes, and the woman's pretty face was vaguely visible.
He raised his hand and wiped the sweat, "Why are you here?"
Su Yan unscrewed the bamboo tube and handed it to him, "Drink some mung bean soup."
Qin An's throat was so dry that he couldn't bear to go home. He took it and drank it for several sips before he recovered. "Don't stay up next time, just bring some water."
"I have nothing to do at home. This belongs to Brother Jiang. Give it to him." Su Yan handed it to him.
Looking at the other bamboo tube, Qin An looked a little depressed and said, "Daughter-in-law, you can only carry it for me next time."
He just couldn't see his wife giving things to others.
Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, and whispered: "These are beans from the Jiang family. Take them and cook them together. The eldest sister went to school and said that Goudan was naughty."
