Chapter 277: Someone is despicable and takes a widow as his wife
After dusk, it was raining lightly, the leaves in the yard were swaying slightly, and the vegetable seedlings that had just emerged were bent over.
The horses in the stable were "whining" and barking from time to time after being locked for a long time.
The woman's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiao Xiu, feed the horse some grass."
"good."
After a while, the sound of horses stopped. At this time, Zhang Xiu's voice came from the yard: "Master."
Upon hearing this voice, Su Yan glanced at the door and saw Qin An holding grandson Erdan. For the first time, she did not call him.
Qin An came to the kitchen and called, "Daughter-in-law."
Su Yan still ignored him, Qin An leaned over and looked at her, "What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"
"No, it's just that some men are hiding it from me." Su Yan scooped up rice soup and handed it to him.
Hearing this, Qin An knew why and took the rice soup bowl, "Do you like hairpins? I see many women have them on their heads."
When she didn't say anything, he explained honestly: "Su and I are copying books while I'm having a break. If there's nothing else going on, I'll just copy for a while."
"Not tired."
Su Yan grabbed his wrist and motioned for him to straighten his hand. Even though his fingers were straightened, they were still a little bent. It was obvious that he was writing too much and couldn't straighten his fingers.
"My fingers are like this and they're not tired yet."
"That hairpin must be very expensive. I don't often wear hairpins. It would be a waste to buy them. You can just buy yourself two good writing brushes with the money you saved."
She just felt sorry that he had worked so hard to make money and bought her the hairpin, but she couldn't use it much.
"Don't waste it. Other women have it, and you have it too."
Qin An took back his hand, took a sip of rice soup, and said, "Did you put the beans in?"
"Cook some in the rice."
Su Yan stretched out her hand to pull the collar of his clothes and said softly: "Put your clothes neatly outside."
"I only pulled it when I got home. It's not comfortable to wear." Qin An looked down at her, his eyes filled with joy.
What was on his mind, "I'm going to pick up Erdan today. Some people scolded him for having no parents. I want to go to the Yamen and transfer him to my name."
"Let him change his name to father and mother in the future."
Su Yan had also thought about this, "I'm afraid that if something happens then it will affect one of his children."
"But it's okay. This child probably cries secretly every night. I'm going to change his pillow today. The pillow core is all wet."
He was only five years old, his parents were all gone, and he was living under someone else's roof. Even if they were kind to him, he still had no sense of belonging.
"Let him come and sleep in our room today. He will sleep for more than half a month and then let him sleep alone."
"Okay." Qin An nodded.
After dinner, Qin An took Sun Erdan to the room to write. Su Yan played with her on the bed. After half an hour, Sun Erdan said obediently: "I'm done writing."
Qin An took it over for inspection, and then said: "Let's sleep here today."
Sun Erdan's eyes lit up slightly and he quickly shook his head, "I'll sleep by myself."
"Erdan, don't you want to play with your brother? He really likes you."
Su Yan patted the bed and said half-jokingly: "Are you still shy with your aunt?"
Sun Erdan looked at his brother flopping on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head, "I'll play with my brother tomorrow."
He would disturb his aunt and the others.
"You see, my brother is unhappy." Su Yan teased him.
Immediately, Sun Erdan ran over with a thump thump thump, and lay down beside the bed to coax him, "Brother, be good."
In the end, he slept on this side of the bed. When Qin An went to bed, he held him on the other side, and then held his wife in his arms.
Su Yan whispered: "Let's have another one."
Qin An kissed her forehead, "Unless you castrate me."
Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she patted his chest gently and said, "They say more children mean more blessings."
"I don't want this kind of blessing. I don't care about future generations, only my wife." Qin An liked to squeeze her waist with his hands, which was soft and comfortable.
This man said he didn't want the child if he didn't want it. Those who didn't know better thought it was him who gave birth to the child. Su Yan didn't say anything more about it.
My family has a stubborn temper.
In the early morning, the sound of cries was the necessary wake-up sound every day, and Sun Erdan woke up immediately.
Seeing Su Yan holding her brother and coaxing him, he leaned over and coaxed: "Tuan Tuan, watch me change your cat face, meow meow meow..."
Tuan Tuan naturally stopped crying when someone teased him. Su Yan looked at the sensible Sun Erdan and reached out to touch his head, "Erdan, how about aunt and uncle being your godfather and mother?"
Sun Erdan was stunned and couldn't believe it. He sniffed and said, "I...I haven't seen my parents."
Su Yan handed the ball to Qin An, then patted his back gently and comforted him: "I know, but your parents are with you in another place. You can also call me aunt in the future."
"From now on, you will be my aunt's child and Tuantuan's brother."
"Will it cause you any trouble?" Sun Erdan was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
"It's not troublesome. You are so good. You even help aunt carry washing water every day. Aunt likes you and uncle likes you too." Su Yan looked at Qin An and motioned for him to respond.
Qin An was wearing single clothes and holding the child, "Yeah, I like it."
Sun Erdan raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "Then I will tell those people today that I have a father and mother."
As soon as these words came out, Su Yan felt bad. She had neither a father nor a mother since she was a child, so she knew how uncomfortable she was.
Not only her, but also Qin An.
They have survived until now on their own, and these days are already the best days in their hearts.
No amount of money can buy this moment.
"Okay, in the future, if anyone says that you have no parents, just say that your father will come and beat them up. Don't be afraid. If anyone bullies you, you will bully them back."
After coaxing Erdan, Su Yan got up to make breakfast, sent the two "father and son" out of the house, and started setting up a stall.
Zhang Xiu already knows how to bake pancakes. She sells pancakes outside, and she bakes pancakes inside.
The eldest sister next door came over to buy pancakes and said, "If you need two pancakes, your business will be great. There will be many people buying pancakes every day."
"It's pretty good." Su Yan neatly wrapped two pancakes for her.
The eldest sister next door paid the money, took it and stood next to her and said, "The one across from you was stolen yesterday. Did you hear that?"
Su Yan was busy working all day, so naturally she didn't have time to talk to her neighbors, "No."
"They say they stole dozens of taels of silver. Please be careful."
"Okay, thank you, eldest sister, for reminding me."
Su Yan still kept this matter in mind and thought about talking to Qin An in the evening.
Over here, the academy
It was a break. Ren Hui followed several colleagues and shouted loudly: "Some people are so despicable that they actually marry widows as their wives." As he spoke, he glanced at Qin An with disgust.
Suddenly everyone else was a little surprised, after all, who would marry an unclean widow, especially a scholar.
Qin An's hand holding the brush paused, turned to look at them, and said fiercely: "You can say anything to me. If you dare to talk about my wife, I will strangle you to death."
He looked serious and there was no doubt that he was telling lies.
After all, Ren Hui was still deterred by the last time. He didn't dare to speak openly and boldly once he spoke.
The chest I kicked last time still hurts. The doctor said that if I tried harder, I would break several ribs.
