Chapter 18 Not short of this little money

"It's yours." After Qin An said that, he poured the fish into the big wooden bucket, and then poured a lot of water into it.

Hearing this, Su Yan's eyes lit up, but when she thought about it, it was impossible for the village to share the fish with her, "Brother Qin, did you ask for it for me?"

"I said something."

Qin An glanced at her and said, "Are you going to town?"

"Go, there are no more dishes, do you want to sell some fish?" Su Yan pulled her hair and played with it.

"If you don't sell it, everyone in the village will sell it now. If you can't sell it for a price, you can eat it yourself." Qin An shook his head.

"That's right. I'll come back in the afternoon and make dried fish. Then I can eat it in Dongyue."

Su Yan went to get the basket and held it in her hand. While closing the door of the room, she added: "You can buy some vegetable seedlings. I see there is an empty space next to the door. If you have nothing to do, dig it out and plant some."

“Then we won’t have to dig wild vegetables every day.”

"By the way, pull some cloth back. Your clothes have a lot of holes. Let me learn how to make a few pieces for you, but I can only make simple ones."

Listening to the woman's mumbling words, Qin An couldn't help but look at her one more time.

Su Yan met his gaze and was stunned for a moment, fearing that he would think she was taking too much care. She explained in a low voice: "If Brother Qin doesn't want me to make it, then just buy ready-made clothes."

"I don't want to care about you, I just want to help you save some money. You have helped me so much, and I want to help you too."

"Don't worry, I really don't want to be your wife, nor do I mean to seduce you."

Qin An looked away, "I know, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No trouble, I'm sorry to bother you." Su Yan said with a smile.

It was almost noon when the two arrived in the town. Fortunately, they were not here to sell prey. They went directly to the medicine shop. Qin An took the herbs and showed them to the doctor.

The doctor said happily: "This is it, picked yesterday?"

Qin An nodded and said in a low voice: "This grass must be several years old. You can't sell it for a tael of silver."

Su Yan was worried that he would just be honest with the doctor, but she didn't expect that he still had a second thought.

The doctor probably knew it well, so he smelled the herbs and said, "Let's do it, one or two halves, what do you think?"

Qin An stopped calling out the price, "Okay."

The doctor gave him the money and then said: "If you have any herbs, send them to me. If you still have this, I will accept it."

"It would be better if there are wild ginseng. You hunt all year round, so pay more attention when you go into the mountains."

"I just don't dare to go into the mountains with my old arms and legs, otherwise I would go looking for it myself."

"good."

Qin An put away the money and took Su Yan out. The two of them went to buy vegetables first. The vegetables here were all shabby and didn't look fresh.

But it’s normal for it to be so hot.

Su Yan picked a few green vegetables and bought some garlic sprouts, and then went to Cloth Shop. The female owner recognized her and said, "You two brothers and sisters are in town again. What do you want to buy? Our shop has a lot of new goods."

"Buy some cloth and make some clothes for my elder brother." Su Yan glanced at Qin An.

The female boss took a look and said, "Your eldest brother works all year round, so just buy something with darker materials. What do you think of this gray color?"

"The coarse cloth we bought this time is of good quality. It will be more comfortable to touch."

Su Yan reached out and touched it, and then reached out to touch the corner of Qin An's clothes. It was indeed more comfortable, "Brother Qin, do you like this color?"

"Anything is fine."

Qin An didn't choose these. He glanced at several sets of women's ready-made clothes hanging on the wall. He paused and asked, "How much does a set of ready-made clothes cost?"

The hostess and Su Yan looked over, and the hostess said with a smile: "If you want to calculate two hundred coins, your girl will wear it just right. She is neither fat nor thin, so she will definitely look good."

"These clothes are also convenient for working."

After saying that, he glanced at Su Yan's clothes and said, "As a woman, you should dress more nicely and don't wear dull clothes all day long."

"Widows can also say that we have a good marriage. There is a widow in the town. She is doing well when she remarries. My husband cooks and washes clothes for her every day."

Su Yan: "..."

She couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I don't buy it." After saying that, she looked at Qin An.

Qin An acted as if he hadn't heard anything, "If you want two sets, just use the two sets on the side, and wear gray cloth on both sides."

"How much silver?"

One set is lavender and the other is darker pink. They are the two most beautiful pieces in a row of ready-to-wear.

When she heard that she had bought so much, the landlady burst into laughter, "One cloth costs you eighty cents, two cloths cost you one hundred and sixty cents, plus two sets of ready-made clothes, the total is five hundred and sixty cents."

Su Yan quickly said: "I don't want it, don't buy it."

"Sister, what are you afraid of when your eldest brother buys you clothes? It's because he feels sorry for you. My eldest brother won't buy me clothes." The hostess wrapped it up quickly, for fear that Qin An would regret it.

Qin An gave her half a tael of silver and sixty coins.

After putting them away, the hostess took two lavender silk flowers from the frame and wrapped them together, "I'm giving them to your sister. These flowers usually cost five cents."

Su Yan: "..."

This owner is indeed a businessman, and his actions are just like robbery.

After leaving the shop, Su Yan looked at Qin And and said, "I'll give it to you when I get home."

Before Qin An could speak, she added: "It's not easy for you to make money. It's time to save some money."

"It's not worth this little money."

Qin An's words choked Su Yan, "..."

She glanced at him and realized that whoever married him would probably live a good life.

Except for the careless cleaning of the house, everything else is fine. She does all the hard work and is quite good at taking care of others.

After getting along for a long time recently, she discovered that Qin An really cares about people. He doesn't talk about it, he only does it.

This kind of man is much better than a glib person.

Afterwards, the two of them went to buy rice and flour, but Su Yan refused to let Qin An pay and insisted on paying for it herself, so Qin An gave up.

On the way back, the two of them stopped riding in the donkey cart and walked in tandem. As they approached the fork in the road with the next village, someone suddenly called out to Su Yan, "Yan'er."

Su Yan turned around and looked over, and what she saw was a man carrying a backpack. He looked a bit delicate and not tall, maybe half a head taller than Su Yan.

This person is the person whom the original body was happy with before.

However, his family did not agree with him marrying the original person, probably because they were unwilling to give him a betrothal gift of two taels of silver, so the original person was said to be a wedding gift to the Li family.

Later, he came to see the original woman, and occasionally brought food. The original woman was a woman who abided by etiquette. After getting married, she told him not to have any contact with him.

He was probably really heartbroken.

Zhou Xi only has one child in the Zhou family. If he had a tougher attitude, the Zhou family would not refuse to marry Su Yan.

When Su Yan saw him coming, she moved back a little and said a little coldly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Zhou Xi took out a bunch of candied haws from her sleeve and gave it to her, smiling, "Here, I went to town to buy it, and I wanted to send it to you later."

"I'm busy in the fields right now, so I don't have time to come see you."

He wanted to say something, but when he saw that the tall man was not moving, he didn't think much and said in a lower voice, "Give me a little more time, and my mother will let me marry you."
