Chapter 158: Officers and soldiers come to the door
It was already late for the two of them to clean up the shop, and neither of them planned to go back to the village. Naturally, they felt relieved as their mother-in-law was watching.
Besides, there is nothing valuable at home, just dozens of chickens.
It’s just that Rhubarb and Dabaizui are getting greedy again.
Thinking of this, Su Yan sat on the stool and said: "Next time, take a piece of rhubarb and dabai with you. Someone will guard the shop at night."
"good."
Qin An looked at the sky outside and was worried that she was in the shop by herself, so he added, "Daughter-in-law, let's go buy fish together."
After a busy day, her clothes were already dirty. Su Yan lowered her head and took a look, then went up to the attic, "Then I'll go up and change my clothes. There aren't enough quilts in the attic. I'll buy a thicker bed later."
When the two were about to leave the shop, the shopkeeper of Ruyi Shop came over and said, "Are you okay? I just heard that someone was making trouble. Don't worry, I have already said hello to those people."
Su Yan shook her head gratefully, "It's nothing, my husband is here."
"That's good. By the way, my boss asked me to bring you a message. Don't go to the county town during these days, and be careful." The shopkeeper said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Su Yan subconsciously looked at Qin An and asked, "Why?"
"This time Ruyi Shop won a banquet from Mr. Li in the capital. It made people jealous, so it was natural to find someone to vent its anger on."
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, looked around, and saw that no one was around, then continued: "This time, careless people who were traveling together as escorts were found troublesome, and they were put in jail and haven't come out yet."
"Anyway, be careful these days and don't let anyone catch you. Third Young Master is busy with cooking in the capital recently and doesn't have much time to care about you."
"Just let you be careful."
Hearing this, Su Yan and Qin An looked at each other and nodded. When the shopkeeper left, Su Yan held the man's arm and whispered: "How about we go back and open again later."
It’s not that they are cowards, they are powerless and if they get into trouble, no matter how strong they are, it won’t work.
Qin An pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go back in a minute."
It was already dark when we arrived at the village, and it started raining again during the night, but it stopped the next day.
morning
Su Yan washed her clothes and hung them to dry on the rack in the hall. She patted the wrinkles on them carefully and looked at the man sharpening arrowheads in the yard from the corner of her eye. "Want to go up the mountain?"
"Well, if it rains for several days, they will come out to look for food."
Qin An bowed his waist slightly, the muscles of his arms were protruding and the lines were obvious. He was holding an arrow in his hand and grinding it back and forth on the whetstone.
It makes a small, goosebump-inducing sound.
"Be careful. I will go to Tiankan with my eldest sister later to pinch Houttuynia cordata."
"Add more clothes."
After saying this, the rough man washed his hands and stood up worriedly, then looked at her and motioned to go back to the house with him.
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She followed him into the house and watched the man take clothes from the cabinet. "Then you should wear more clothes. It's cold in the mountains."
After saying that, she took the clothes handed over by the man, took off her outer clothes and put them on inside. As soon as she put on her outer clothes, she saw the man taking off his clothes and trousers in front of her.
Her cheeks felt a little hot, and she turned her back slightly, "The underpants are in the box next to me. I'm wearing a gray pair. They are double-layered."
Qin An liked her shy look the most. He chuckled, took out his trousers from the cabinet and put them on before saying, "Daughter-in-law, have you never seen her before?"
Obviously teasing her, Su Yan turned around and gave him a look, then bent down to pick up the underpants he had changed into, "I've seen them before, but I've never seen anyone with a thick skin."
The rough man laughed several times, his eyes filled with joy, and he came over. He held her slender waist with both hands, lifted her up with a little force, and said in a low voice: "There are more shameless ones. Wife, do you want to see them?"
Su Yan smiled at him and said, "No, put me down, the motherfucker is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, Goudan’s mother’s voice rang out, “Sister, are you okay?”
Suddenly the young woman was startled and quickly agreed: "Come on, I'll get something and come out." After saying this, she motioned to the man to let her down quickly.
However, the man turned his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Kiss me."
Su Yan was afraid that Goudan's mother would come in and bump into him, so she still wanted to show some face, so she leaned over and kissed him twice.
When the man let her down, she quickly ran out and said, "Here he comes."
Soon she appeared at the door of the house again, looked at Qin An who was smiling like a fool and said: "Be careful, come back early, I will leave the door open for you at night." After that, she left again.
It had been raining for several days, and many young shoots of Houttuynia cordata sprouted one after another, which was pleasing to look at.
Su Yan pinched it, shook off the rainwater a few times, and put it into the basket. Goudanfu came over and said a good thing, "Sister, I'm pregnant." After saying that, she smiled from ear to ear.
Being able to have children in a village is a blessing. The more children you have, the richer your family will be.
Upon hearing this, Su Yan said happily: "Congratulations, eldest sister."
"Don't tell anyone else. I haven't told anyone else. By the way, have you taken the medicine?"
"No, my family won't let me drink it."
"That's sad. We've been married for more than half a year and we still don't have any children."
Goudan's mother was really worried about Su Yan, and whispered: "A man will only be good to you for a few years, and it will be real if he has a child. Don't look at the man in my family who is good to me now, but sometimes he is still impatient."
She quickly thought of something, "Can't it be the one from your house?"
Su Yan paused for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed to say something. If even a rough guy couldn't do it, there probably wouldn't be anyone with more energy than him.
"No, it's okay."
"Then it must be that you two spend too little time together. Winter is coming, so you just have babies when you have nothing to do. My two babies are all at home during the winter."
Both of them were women, so there was nothing to avoid, Goudanfu told her with a smile.
These words made Su Yan's cheeks turn red and she joked with a smile: "The eldest sister is already free."
Now it was Goudan's mother's turn to blush, and the two of them pinched a basket of Houttuynia cordata before going back.
Qin's courtyard
Su Yan was sitting on a small stool washing Houttuynia cordata when she suddenly heard some noisy business and subconsciously looked outside.
Soon she saw four or five officers and soldiers coming this way, and her heart skipped a beat when she thought of what Shopkeeper Ruyi said.
As soon as he got up, a woman led the officers and soldiers in, "The officer is here, she is Qin An's wife."
The tall officer and soldier at the head looked at the woman in civilian clothes in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
The woman has fair skin, her cheeks without rouge are flushed pink, her eyes are slightly raised, and her beauty makes people unable to take their eyes away.
His tone unconsciously became more relaxed, "Where is your husband-in-law?"
Su Yan didn't look panicked, wiped her hands and said, "I've been out for a few days, what can I do for you, sir?"
"There was a death at the escort agency. The man had a quarrel with your husband-in-law before his death. We will take him back to the county seat for questioning." The officers and soldiers motioned to the people behind to search in the house.
It seems that Ruyi Shop is not just about making money this time. Su Yan's heart sank, "What's the festival? I didn't hear my husband say that."
The officers and soldiers obviously didn't want to say more, "Where did he go?"
Just when Su Yan was about to say something, she saw a tall rough man coming in with a bow and arrow. He walked over and blocked her in front of her, whispering: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Then he looked at the officers and soldiers expressionlessly, "I'm here. If you want to ask anything, I'll go with you."
The officers and soldiers came to open the door. If we didn't go there, there would be no peace in the house.
