A tall figure appeared in the dark night. Su Yan's heart suddenly dropped and she called out softly, "Mr. sir, are you okay?"
Qin An was originally a little angry that she came to the Yamen. If these people wanted to deal with them, she would not be able to escape.
He is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so he will be fine even if he is beaten dozens of times, but not his wife.
He feels distressed.
But under the dim vision, I saw the young woman's face was full of worry, and her heart was stabbed by something. It hurt a little, and it seemed as if it was filled with something.
The only blessing in his life is to marry a wife.
He bent down and took her hand, squeezed it twice, and said, "It's okay, go home."
"Okay." Su Yan squeezed his hand with a smile in her eyes.
It was getting late and they could no longer leave the county town. Ning Yi asked his servants to clean up a house for them to live in.
As he left, he looked at them and said, "If you have anything, please tell your servants."
After they left, the man closed the door and looked at his wife. He couldn't say a harsh word, and finally said: "Are your feet cold?"
Su Yan looked at him, her eyebrows slightly curved, and she nodded: "A little bit."
Hearing this, the rough man motioned for her to sit on the bed, and then squatted down to take off her shoes. The soles of her feet were cold.
He reached out to cover her feet without feeling dirty, and rubbed them back and forth a few times until her feet were warm. "Lie down first. I'll go get some hot water."
After saying that, he bent down and pulled the quilt, and waited for her to lie down to cover her. Then he went out and asked the servant for hot water.
After two or three quarters of an hour, the servant heard that there was no movement in the room, walked away lightly, and soon reached the main courtyard, "Master, they have rested."
"Well, I'll have the carriage take them back tomorrow." Ning Yi rubbed his brows, looking a little tired.
He thought of something and asked again: "What did they say?"
The servant shook his head, "No, that man asked for hot water to soak his wife's feet. After a while, the room became dark."
…
Over here in the house.
Neither of them had lunch. They had been running for most of the day, so they would naturally be hungry, but they couldn't bother them at other people's homes.
Su Yan nestled in the man's arms, stretching her feet between his legs, "I'll go back tomorrow after eating bean curd rice. The last time I had it was quite delicious."
"good."
Qin An stretched out his hand to pinch the corner of the quilt and said, "I'll buy some beans and grind them back then."
"Okay, this year we'll have some dried tofu on the kang, add some chili, and it'll be delicious."
"Okay, more smoked sausage to decorate..."
Before Mao hour passed, the two of them packed up and left the house. When leaving, Su Yan gave fifty coins to the servant who served them.
The bean curd rice was in good business at the moment. The two waited for a long time before a table was available. Su Yan ordered four bowls of bean curd rice.
The stall owner looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I'm afraid we won't be able to finish the meal."
"You can add more when we finish the food here."
"I can finish it."
Su Yan turned her head and looked to the side. The man in her eyes turned slightly sideways, as if he was shielding her from the wind.
She whispered: "Is three bowls enough?"
I didn’t eat at noon or at night. A man who usually eats three or four bowls at a meal must be hungry already.
Qin An nodded and then scanned around. The shop over there sold hot soup. He stood up and said, "I'm going to buy soup. I'll sit here."
After saying that, he took off his coat, put it on her body, and buttoned it up.
The woman at the table next to her looked at it, and after Qin An left, she smiled and said, "Sister, your husband-in-law is only kind to you."
Su Yan glanced at Qin An and nodded seriously, "Very good."
"You are so lucky." After saying this, the woman lowered her head and ate her beancurd rice.
After a while, Qin An brought a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of her. Su Yan knew that he was not willing to buy his own, "Uncle, I want an empty bowl."
"Okay." The uncle immediately gave her an empty bowl.
Su Yan poured half of it, then pushed it to the man next to her and said angrily: "You can't bear to part with these few coins, and I can't bear to have you not eat it either."
As he spoke, he reached out to touch his hand. Even though he was not wearing outer clothes, the man's hand was still like a stove.
Just as he was about to take it back, he held her hand tightly with his big hand and placed it on her abdomen to cover it. He said in a deep voice, "Wear gloves when you go out."
His wife's hands and feet were always cold in winter, and he was almost worried to death.
Thinking of this, he added: "I'll see the doctor later and then go back."
Just because her hands and feet were cold and she spent several taels of money on it, Su Yan was not reluctant to part with it, probably because her body was like this.
"Don't look, I'll wear gloves next time I go out. I still have some rabbit skins at home."
"Go back and make a few pairs."
"It depends." Qin An still insisted.
When the bean curd rice came, there was so much bean curd that Su Yan couldn't finish it. When she picked it up, she wanted to share half of it with him, "I can't finish it."
"Let's talk after eating."
Qin An held her hand, and seeing what she wanted to say, he said in a low voice, "I don't dislike it."
Su Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and explained: "I'm afraid that if the tofu pudding is broken by me, it won't taste good to you."
"If you break it, break it and drink it." Qin An took the chopsticks and handed them to her.
The weather was unclear at the moment, and there was a cool breeze blowing in the mist. Some passers-by shouted: "It will be a snowy winter again this year."
Someone responded, "Next year will be a good year."
"A good year, hahaha, it must be a good year."
Isn’t it a good year for everyone to rely on God for food?
Listening to their conversation, Su Yan couldn't help but smile. From the corner of her eye, she looked at the man next to him who was busy eating. Not only will next year be a good year, but every year will be a good year.
He probably didn't want her to wait any longer. After seeing her finish, the man ate much faster, finishing several bowls of rice in a short while.
The owner of the beancurd seller couldn't help but said: "My little brother has a big appetite."
Su Yan counted twenty coins to him and said with a smile: "My husband works hard, so naturally he eats more."
"That's right. Your husband-in-law is very strong."
"Um."
Without saying a few words, the two of them went to the medicine shop. It was early and there was no one in the medicine shop. The doctor showed Su Yan and found nothing. He just said he should soak her feet more when she got home and prescribed some medicinal materials.
Not seeing anything, the man's forehead tensed up, and he asked in a low voice without giving up: "Why are my hands and feet warm?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and said cheerfully: "Women are weak and men are strong. If you feel sorry for your wife, don't let her get wet when you get home."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Especially in winter, Kuishui will hurt if you catch a cold."
"Also, your wife's body is weak. If you don't pay more attention, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive a child."
Hearing this, Su Yan felt worried. The more she wanted something, the less it would come.
Afraid of going back too late, the two bought some things and rented a carriage to return to the village. As soon as they entered the village, it started to rain.
Su Yan ran into the main room carrying her things, raised her hand to pat the rain off her hands, and looked up at the dark cloud-covered sky, "It's weird, the sun is still shining in the county town."
“It rains a lot in winter in the village.”
Qin An wiped her with a handkerchief, and then went to the kitchen to boil water. As soon as he finished filling the soup, Goudan's mother hurried over.
Seeing that the two of them were fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "I was scared to death. When I came back yesterday, I heard that you were taken away by the officers and soldiers. I asked my eldest brother to go to the county seat today to see you. I didn't expect you to come back."
"Are you okay?"
Su Yan shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding."
"I'm just saying that you two won't do stupid things. Just make it clear."
Goudanfu thought of something and hesitated to speak. He quickly pulled Su Yan to the corridor and whispered: "There are people in town who learn how to make pancakes like yours, and they sell them cheaper than you."
Hearing this, Su Yan was not surprised. Naturally, someone would learn the way to make money, "It's okay, they sell theirs."
"I won't sell pancakes in winter."
People will get tired of selling pancakes all the time, and those are the only people in town.
Goudanfu was stunned for a moment, then happily said: "Everything you sell is delicious."
"Can you still use my help then?"
Naturally she wanted to help. For fifty cents a day, the family could eat meat every day.
There is no need to borrow money from everywhere to send your children to school.
"Don't you want to help me?" Su Yan half-joked.
Goudan's mother waved her hands quickly, "I'm just thinking about it. I haven't eaten yet. We'll come to my place for dinner later, and we haven't had lunch yet."
"Okay, tomorrow we will sell tofu, so you can come and eat it."
Seeing that she was about to run back in the rain again, Su Yan quickly grabbed her and said, "Ms. sir, go get an umbrella."
"It's okay, just a few steps and it won't get wet."
Goudan's mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took the umbrella handed over by Qin An, then leaned into Su Yan's ear and whispered: "You have trained your family well."
Immediately, the young woman burst out laughing, and it took a while to stop. She turned her head to meet the man's gaze, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister said you have been trained by me."
The corners of Qin An's mouth raised, and he came over to gently kiss her lips, "Well, I have a soft ear, so I will listen to my wife."
He doesn't want the respect of outsiders, he just listens to his wife.
No shame.
She probably didn't expect him to say that. Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, "There are dry wormwood at home. I'll sprinkle some water on you to remove bad luck."
After saying that, she went to the basket in the main room to get dry mugwort, dipped it in a little water and patted the man twice.
She added: "To make less money in the future, we and I will sell some food in the town. You can also save a lot of money by hunting."
"I don't mind having too much money, but I haven't thought about living in a rich family. This is enough for now."
"As long as you and I are safe, everything else depends on luck, you know?"
She was just afraid that Qin An wanted to give her a better life, and then kept making money, regardless of the danger.
Once you have the money and the people are gone, the family will be gone.
Qin An naturally knew this. He bent down to face her and assured her honestly: "Nothing will happen to me."
He paused and then said, "I can't bear to leave you."
This rough man's mouth felt as if it had been smeared with honey. Her ears were slightly hot, and then she raised her head and kissed him, "I went to Goudan's house to help, you soak the beans."
"Okay, Mrs. Tang, bring it with you." Qin An handed it to her.
Su Yan hesitated for a moment. She went to help someone else's house and there was no one to bring Tang Pozi with her. "I'll bake it when I get back. You put it under the quilt and cover it."
"I'll go with you to help. I'll come back later to soak the beans, so I'll have time."
Qin An insisted that she cover it, then closed the kitchen door, and the two of them held an umbrella together and went to Goudan's house.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Qin An rolled up his sleeves and asked in a low voice: "What dishes need to be washed?"
As soon as he spoke, the rice-loving Goudan Niang was stunned, and quickly waved her hands after realizing it, "No, you go and sit in the main room."
Su Yan was amused, and following her rough-and-tumble attitude, she held Mrs. Tang in her arms and sat at the kitchen door, "He will help me with the work, let him wash it."
Hearing this, the woman could only point to the vegetables on the ground and said, "These need to be washed."
Qin An said "Yeah" and then washed vegetables beside him without saying a word. Goudan looked at him several times, then looked at Su Yan who was helping to light the fire, and winked at her.
If you find this husband, you will make a lot of money.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Goudan's cries came through, accompanied by Jiang Caifu's scolding: "I asked you to go study, you go catch crickets, if you don't catch ten crickets for me now, you won't even think about coming back."
Then he shouted: "Daughter-in-law, come and see your own son. I am so angry that I have lost all my face."
"daughter in law!!"
"daughter in law!!"
His shouts resounded throughout the yard and were still clear despite the noisy rain. The bitch couldn't afford to lose this man, so she hurriedly ran out, "What are you shouting for?"
Then she whispered: "Qin An and his wife are here."
Suddenly, Jiang Caifu still wanted to show off his face. After all, the turtle son was not up to par, so he immediately shut up. However, he still pushed Goudan angrily, and whispered with gritted teeth, "Finish the words."
Goudan cried loudly, ran into the kitchen, ran to Su Yan's side and cried, "Aunt Qin."
If he doesn't write big words like this, his parents won't dare to hit him.
Jiang Caifu and his wife: "..."
In the end, Goudan’s mother was no longer afraid of embarrassment. He pointed at Goudan with the stick behind the door and said fiercely: “Are you going or not?”
Goudan was so scared that he didn't dare to go, so he stood up and went out.
Goudanfu stared at him as he walked away before looking back, "This bastard, asking him to study is like killing him. That's what my father said. Farm men are not meant to study."
"Just let him plant crops."
The family didn't have much money to begin with, so if they spent a few taels of money on studying and had nothing to show for it, then they would have been working for others in vain in the past few years.
Su Yan laughed several times and quickly said sternly: "You still have to study, you can't spend your whole life growing crops and there will be many ways to make a living in the future."
"That's what I think. Otherwise, why spend so much money to send him to school?"
Goudan's mother thought of something, touched her belly, and said: "Don't give me a son, give me a daughter."
"Blessed by the Bodhisattva, I will definitely have a daughter."
"She must be a girl." Jiang Caifu said a little anxiously.
He was obviously very angry with Goudan.
Just as Su Yan was about to say something, a gust of wind blew in, and the smell of raw meat wafted over the chopping board. She didn't know if it was cold.
She felt sick in her heart. After a while, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and retched. Soon she got up and ran to the toilet of Jiang's house.
The back-footed man strode in. When he saw her retching several times and her face turned pale, he patted her on the back with his heart in his throat and said, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
At this time, Goudanfu also ran in, "Sister..."
Before he finished speaking, the rough man said hurriedly: "Keep an eye on my wife, I'll call the doctor." After saying that, he ran out in the rain with big strides.
His shoulders were soaked even before he left the yard.
"Umbrella..." Before Jiang Caifu could finish his words, he disappeared from sight.
Why is this so damning to a mother-in-law... Bah, bah, bah! What nonsense is he talking about?
Seeing Su Yan's reaction, Goudan patted her on the back and said with some joy: "Sister, are you pregnant?"
