Hearing this, Qin An felt relieved. As long as his wife didn't think too much, there would be hope for the future.
He held the child and lowered his head slightly, and seriously promised: "Daughter-in-law, if I continue to wrong you for a few more years, I will never let you be wronged again."
He didn't know what those people wanted to do, but he could feel that he was of great use to them.
The woman was not wrong, she could only endure more hardships.
As long as he has the confidence, none of these people will want to touch his wife and children.
Su Yan squeezed his arm in response, and then she didn't want this to ruin her mood, "Go buy some clothes for Tuantuan. When the weather gets cold, the clothes won't be ready for a while."
"You also buy two pieces, and wear warmer clothes when you go out as escorts. When you come back, we will cook a soup pot in the yard to eat."
"Let's eat this today." Seeing that there were many people, Qin An stretched out his hand and put his arm around his wife's waist.
The two bought a lot of vegetables and returned to the courtyard. While they were busy working, Sister Cui helped to hold the child, "Madam, the eldest sister across the street just now said that the dead person in the shop is being buried now. Do you want to go burn incense today?"
Su Yan Licai paused her hands, raised her head to meet the man's gaze, and explained helplessly: "A few days ago, a man in the shop choked to death while eating. I got there late, and I don't know what happened."
"I paid thirty taels of silver."
Qin An frowned slightly, "Why didn't you report it to the official?"
Su Yan didn't say it was because she was afraid of delaying his studies, but said with a smile: "It's better to have less to do than to have more to do. The trouble is not over yet."
Qin An knew what she was worried about after a moment's thought. After a moment of silence, he said again: "Which one? I'll burn it."
After saying that, he stood up and patted the vegetable scraps on his body.
Su Yan stretched out her hand and held his finger, "I'll be back as soon as I burn the incense. Don't say anything more. This matter won't be clear."
In any case, the person died in the shop, and the family didn't get any money, so they would often come to make trouble. By then, everyone in the town would know that the person who died in the shop didn't receive any money.
Now that the money has been lost, the family will not mention it and will forget about it after a while.
"I know." Qin An was naturally not stupid enough to make a fuss. Just like his wife said, the matter of the dead was unclear.
He took the incense paper and went out. The family was buried in a nearby mountain. When he went there, a group of people had not left.
He burned paper and gold ingots in front of them, and then said in a low voice to the men of the family: "We have done our best in this matter. If we want to make trouble again, I will do whatever it takes for your family's grave to be laid."
Lift it up for you and put it at your doorstep."
The man was naturally a little polite when he took the money, and nodded quickly, "I won't make trouble, don't worry."
After hearing this, Qin An went home with an empty basket. At this moment, soup was already being made at home, and the fragrance filled the whole yard.
His eyebrows softened, and after putting down the basket, he bent down to pull the grass from the vegetable patch. He probably watered it all day long, and weeds grew up every once in a while.
At night, Qin An asked his wet nurse to take Tuantuan to sleep, and he slept with his wife. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that his wife was still settling accounts, and said dullly: "Daughter-in-law, do you have to settle it now?"
"It's almost over. There's still one more thing to do. It's over. You go to bed first." Su Yan didn't know what he was thinking and deliberately didn't understand what he meant.
The rough man sat next to her, kissed her and said, "Let's sleep together."
Su Yan's cheeks turned red immediately, and all the calculations in her hand were wrong. Qin An was silly and amused beside her, teasing: "Daughter-in-law, you made a wrong calculation."
"Here, my husband will help you figure it out."
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she simply pushed the abacus to him, then got up and packed some clothes for him, two sets of thick and thin ones, and a few more pairs of socks.
His feet sweat easily, either because they smell bad or because they are wet and stiff.
After a while, she heard footsteps behind her. Su Yan folded her clothes and said, "I've packed it up."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man hugged her sideways and said, "Take care of me first..."
…
This escort trip lasted a long time, almost a month, and there was heavy snow in the town, and the yard was completely white.
The weather was getting cold, so Su Yan took her children to warm the brazier in the house all day long, and used a lot of charcoal.
On this day, Cuilan opened the door and came in, "Madam, there is a letter from the master."
"Sister Cui, don't shout like that." Su Yan had said many times that she could just call her sister, but Cuilan had been a mother-in-law in a wealthy family after all.
No matter how hard you try, you can never be easy-going with your master.
Cuilan smiled without saying anything and handed her the letter, "See if the master comes back soon. I'll go and cut the meat back in advance."
Su Yan opened the letter and read it for a long time, "She said she would be back the day after tomorrow. Please hurry up. I think she will be home today."
"Sister Cui, you look after the children at home. I'll go out to buy groceries."
"I'll go, it's cold outside."
"No, he likes to eat fat meat. I'll go and buy some."
Su Yan reminded again: "Tuantuan is sleeping, so don't close the window to warm yourself by the fire."
Cuilan nodded: "Okay."
Su Yan went out with a small backpack on her back. There were messy footsteps on the snow outside. The door next door was still closed, but people were still there, but they didn't go out much.
My health is indeed not very good.
As soon as she walked out of the alley, a woman called out to her, "Sister, the woman next door to your house just fainted under the tree. I went to her house and knocked on the door, but no one was there. The medicine store is lying down right now. Please help me."
Check out her family."
Hearing this, Su Yan paused for a moment, then turned around and called the person next door. No one answered for a long time, so she hesitated and went to the pharmacy.
Xiao Lan was already awake now, sitting on the chair and coughing non-stop. She saw Su Yan was slightly stunned.
Su Yan looked at the doctor, "What's wrong with her?"
"Long-term illness has accumulated in her heart, and her body is weak. She gets dizzy when the weather is cold. Ordinary medicine can't help. It's best to take dietary supplements, but she probably can't take them, so she's in poor health." The doctor explained.
Su Yan nodded, "How much money?"
"Ten cents will be enough, but if you don't prescribe the medicine, it will be useless." The doctor said.
Su Yan paid ten copper coins, then walked over and helped Xiao Lan up, "I'll take you back."
Xiao Lan probably didn't expect that she would still help her. Born in the palace, he already looked down upon these things, so he stood up and said, "It's troublesome."
The two of them didn't say anything on the way. Su Yan helped her into the hospital and found that no one was in the house. She felt a little strange, but she didn't ask any questions.
She was able to help her back because she still cared about Qin An.
Xiao Lan, who was just about to leave, asked her, "Why did you come to me?"
Su Yan didn't say anything, "You don't have any bad intentions towards my family."
Xiao Lan just has a big prejudice against her.
I have a lot of prejudice against her as a widow.
Or maybe the widow's status is too low.
Xiao Lan looked at her slightly and said, "You are somewhat sincere towards him."
"He and I are husband and wife. Ever since I married him, I have been sincere. Naturally, I will not be unhappy with him."
Su Yan paused, then thought of something and said, "Don't force him to do something for his own good. If it weren't for me and the children, he wouldn't listen to you like this."
"If he is really having a bad day, my children and I will help him."
Yes, if Qin An suffered too much for her and the child, she wouldn't bear to watch it.
