Chapter 333: I can hear everyone calling me mother.
Qin An isn't too worried about this. These people don't dare to destroy the original copy. People who study don't know how to do it and can only hide it.
After all, Master Li was still afraid. He ran all the way to Qi's house. When he saw Mrs. Qi, he said directly: "This can't be done. Qin An said that he would report it to the official when he can't see her. As soon as he checks, it will be obvious."
Mrs. Qi's affairs have been going badly recently, her business is not going well, and her family is living a good life, just like beggars, they are frugal and don't give the Qin family anything good. She can't swallow this feeling.
"What are you afraid of? The government will betray my Qi family's reputation. You just need to keep your mouth shut."
"If you talk nonsense, I won't pay your gambling debts for you. When the academy finds out, you won't be able to stay any longer."
Master Li's face turned pale, "Mrs. Qi...you...I will keep my mouth shut."
After she left, Mrs. Qi sent someone to call the Qin family to the teahouse. Su Yan had already heard Qin An tell her about the academy, and she could guess why.
She asked Qin An to wait for her below the teahouse, "If you don't go up, I have a way to deal with her."
I'm afraid that if Qin An goes up, the Qi family will make nonsense and ruin Qin An's reputation.
Qin An felt uneasy, so Su Yan patted his hand gently and then went to the teahouse.
Mrs. Qi was sitting on a stool, holding Mrs. Tang in her hand, looking down at the woman who came in.
She said: "Give me your perfume shop."
"My ears can't hear."
Su Yan stood two steps away from her, and then said: "They also said that the Qi family is a scholarly family, and they do all kinds of dirty things."
"You think this will make my family obey your family's orders?"
"Mrs. Qi, I didn't start from scratch with no brain. On the contrary, you seem to have a lot of brains, but you do some brainless things."
"Your family knows how important the academy's original copy is. If it is found against your family, the crime of theft will not be tested within the family for three years."
"How many years can your family delay this? I'm not telling you, in just half a year, your family will sell off the shop and other things."
"My family can be delayed not just three years, but ten years. If you offend me, even if your family passes the exam, I can make your family have no money."
The woman's words were neither light nor serious, but she came across as cold and thorny.
Mrs. Qi's dignity remained deadlocked, refusing to be angered by a widow like her, "I will make it impossible for your family to stand up this time. I have already asked someone to take care of it at the Yamen. This time, your family will not be able to stand up."
"
Su Yan shook her head and said, "I can't hear you."
Mrs. Qi suddenly choked and felt like she couldn't take a breath. She said with a cold face: "Go get pen, ink and paper."
The maid next to her turned around and went out. After a while, she came in with a pen, ink and paper. After Mrs. Qi had written, she asked the maid to hand it to her for reading.
Su Yan looked at the evidence in her hand and sighed in her heart. What kind of pig brain did Mrs. Qi have? She was worried that there was no evidence.
"Which unique copies did you steal?"
Soon Mrs. Qi handed it to her again. Su Yan glanced at it, slowly folded it and put it in her clothes, turned around and left.
After walking out of the door, she turned around and said, "Mrs. Qi, thank you for the evidence. Since I haven't seen those books, I will hand these evidence over to the Yamen."
"My husband has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. The county magistrate will definitely deal with it impartially."
No matter what, Qin An was a person who was praised by the court. As long as the county magistrate was not stupid, he would not slap the official's face. Moreover, the county magistrate did not dare to touch Qin An.
Xiao Lan may have warned him.
Mrs. Qi didn't expect her to threaten her, so she subconsciously said: "Stop her."
Su Yan was not in a hurry and shouted towards the place downstairs, "Mr.
Soon, a tall and strong man appeared next to her, held her in his arms with one hand, and stared at Mrs. Qi coldly.
Su Yan gained confidence and said, "Mrs. Qi, I am not a troublemaker. I just want to live as a family. If you provoke us several times, we will be killed."
"I won't leave any escape route for you."
"Return the book tomorrow, or I will send this to the Yamen."
"The scholarly family disappeared from you."
After speaking, she patted Qin An's waist and motioned to go downstairs.
The two of them had only taken a few steps when Mrs. Qi called out to them, gritting her teeth and saying, "I'll give it to you now."
The maid next to Mrs. Qi handed it to them. Qin An took it and took a look at it. After making sure it was clear, he followed Su Yan and left.
The two went directly to the academy, handed the books to the academy, and then walked home in the night.
On the road, there was an old man selling sugar candies with a hammer. Su Yan turned around and said, "Buy some and give them to Erdan and the others."
She touched her arms and said, "I didn't bring any money."
Qin An chuckled, stretched out his hand to grab her hand and put it into his arms. Su Yan couldn't help laughing, took out a money bag and took a look inside, "Is that all?"
There are only twenty or thirty pieces of writing in it.
Qin An didn't have much to buy, so he didn't put any money in it.
"Grandpa, I want 20 yuan worth of maltose." Su Yan shouted.
The old man came over and said with a smile: "There are just over 20 fen of maltose left, so I'll give you 20 fen." After that, he showed the scale to the two of them.
Qin An said "Yeah", counted twenty coins and handed it to him. The old man broke it into pieces for them, put it in a paper bag and handed it to the two of them.
Qin An twisted a piece and fed it to Su Yan. Su Yan bit it a few times and it stuck to her teeth, "Oops."
Hearing the sound, Qin An subconsciously bent down and said "Ah", indicating for her to open her mouth. Su Yan was stunned, laughed, and then opened her mouth.
Qin An came closer to look at her teeth, and then stretched out his hand to do it for her without disdain at all. Su Yan looked at him with a smile on her face, "When you get older, I will do it for you."
Qin An nodded, then gave her a small piece, "Eat slowly."
After not going out for a long time, the two of them walked outside for an extra quarter of an hour before going back. When they came home, they didn't cry. They watched the two of them howl and cry for a while, looking aggrieved that they didn't take him out to play together.
It was not difficult to coax him. Qin An gave him a small piece of Bud Sugar and he stopped crying and sipped it.
But after taking a sip, his father threw it away.
Tuantuan looked at his father with ignorant eyes, which made Su Yan amused. "I'm going to fly a kite in the countryside tomorrow. Xiaoxiu, go and knead the dough."
"We'll make omelets and scallion pancakes later, and we'll take them out to eat tomorrow morning."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If you need more time, I will fry some peanut brittle to eat, Erdan, do you want to eat it?"
Erdan became more lively, not as cautious as before, nodding happily.
Qin An didn't say anything. He turned around and went to the house to get a dustpan of dried peanuts. He sat at the door of the main room and started peeling them.
The crisp sound of peeling shells came one after another.
Tuantuan staggered over and sat down on the ground. Qin An picked him up with one hand and reached up to get a small chair for him to sit on.
Immediately after putting him in, Tuan Tuan yelled that he couldn't do it, Qin An said in a low voice: "Sit tight."
Tuantuan looked at him with pursed lips. Qin An felt warm and grabbed two peanuts for him to play with.
Erdan sat next to him with a stool and helped peel it off in a sensible manner, "Dad, I've finished writing the big characters."
"Well, go get it and let me see."
"good."
In the kitchen, three women were busy making pancakes, and in the yard, a young man and two young men were peeling peanuts.
…
early morning
A woman's voice broke the tranquility of the alley, "Where are you and your family going?"
"Flying kites in the countryside." Cuilan hugged Tuan Tuan and got on the carriage.
The woman envied and said, "Your family is living a good life, but your son is not going to school now?"
"Well, I'll take a day off."
"That still doesn't work. Studying is much more important than playing."
"Um."
In the carriage, Qin An looked at Erdan and whispered: "The family doesn't need you to study."
Erdan has always worked hard in school.
Erdan nodded obediently, but kept in mind that he would support his parents in the future and would buy a lot of clothes for them.
Just like his parents are as good to him.
The two children got up too early and fell asleep in the carriage after being excited for a while.
It was already midnight when we arrived at the outskirts, and there were quite a few people here.
Tuantuan shouted louder than anyone else, "Daddy, daddy, Feifei..."
Qin An held him with one hand and coaxed, "We'll fly later."
Su Yan followed them with a food box, "over there."
There are trees over there, and it won't be too hot when the sun comes out.
After Qin An finished flying the kite, he let Erdan fly it. Erdan looked very happy for the first time and didn't take him out to play often.
Su Yan flew with her for a while, but the kite hung on a tree. Just when she was about to call Qin An to come and get it, there was a man nearby who helped her climb the tree to get the kite.
He handed it to Su Yan, a little shyly, "Girl, your kite."
When she came out today, Su Yan specially tidied up her hair and applied some rouge. Cuilan also gave her a bun, which is most popular among women at the moment.
After giving birth to a child, my waist is still slender.
She looks like an unmarried girl.
Su Yan couldn't understand what he said, so she took it and thanked him: "Thank you."
The man wanted to say something else when he saw a tall and handsome man coming over. Before he could say anything, the man put his arm around the young woman's waist and said, "Wife."
He was stunned for a moment. Although the man in front of him looked handsome, he could tell with a clear eye that he was no longer young.
Women look like girls.
He felt a little pity, how could such a good girl marry such an old man.
He left quietly.
Qin An glanced at his back, his eyes fell on his wife, her eyebrows were bright and her teeth were bright, and his throat couldn't help but roll.
He...why is he so old...
Seeing that he was standing still, Su Yan stretched out her hand and pulled it, "Ms. sir, help me release it a little bit more."
Qin An nodded, took the kite and went to fly it. After a while, he saw the man who just brought the kite to his wife, who was talking to another man.
"What a pity. That girl looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his husband looks to be thirty years old. People who don't know better think she is his daughter."
"I finally fell in love with a girl and ended up getting married."
"It looks quite fresh, even better than the Wang family's." Another man agreed.
Being called old, Qin An held it in his chest. He didn't like it the most right now when people said that he and his wife looked very different in age.
She kept this matter to herself until he went back, and then Su Yan noticed that he seemed unhappy and thought she had made him uncomfortable.
I didn't think he was being unreasonable, but people always feel uncomfortable sometimes.
She was so happy to coax him that when she entered the room to fold clothes, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you sulky with me? Why?"
Qin An raised his eyelids and his gaze fell on her pink cheeks. His wife had not changed much in the past few years, but he was getting older and older.
In a few years, will his wife dislike him?
If Su Yan knew what he was thinking, she would probably glare at him several times. They are only six years apart, so they are not the same.
Seeing that he didn't speak, he put the clothes in his hands and asked, "Because of the man who picked up the kite?"
"Not as handsome as you."
Qin An's expression softened a bit, and he stood up and went to the table to take a brush to write. Su Yan stood up and walked over, and saw the words on the paper: Am I old?
Su Yan: "..."
She smiled and sat down by the bed, "You ask this again, who said you are old?"
"If you were old, these women in the county wouldn't look at you secretly."
She took a serious look at him. He was indeed not old, but he didn't look young either. It was probably because of the contours of his face.
In the future, when others get older, he will look younger.
She added: "You are an old man, and I am happy too."
"When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. When you marry a dog, follow the dog. When you marry an old man, follow the old man."
The next few sentences are obviously a joke.
Qin An felt relieved, stood up and closed the door, and then began to untie his clothes. Su Yan was stunned and said unnaturally: "The clothes haven't been folded yet, don't get them dirty."
Qin An was naked to the waist, hugging the clothes on the bed, stuffing them into the closet, and then headed towards his wife.
Probably because she wanted to prove that she was not old, a certain man was tormenting others, so Su Yan didn't even have the energy to take a bath, so she fell asleep in his arms.
…
As the weather gets colder, Su Yan doesn't go out much, and she stays with Tuan Tuan every day. Occasionally she can hear one or two "mother" sounds. It's much better now than before, and she can hear her clearly as long as she makes a little louder sound.
On this day, the academy will hold a book party, and many ladies have received posts.
Ren Li came over to look for Su Yan to buy clothes, and they were going to a book club together tomorrow. When she arrived at Qin's house, Su Yan was marinating dried pork.
As a snack during the Chinese New Year.
Knowing that her hearing was bad, she spoke much louder, "Let's go shopping for clothes at the book club tomorrow."
Su Yan heard it clearly and while marinating the meat, she said: "I didn't listen to what my husband said."
"The post sent by the academy today, let's go there tomorrow, you don't have any post?" Ren Li received the post early in the morning, and the academy should have finished sending it.
Su Yan probably knew why there was no post, so she shook her head and said, "I am a widow, and the academy will not give me a post."
If she didn't say anything, Ren Li would forget that she was still a widow. She would react and look a little apologetic, "I didn't mean it."
Su Yan shook her head and said it was okay. From the moment the government issued the notice, she knew that she would face a lot of different treatment in the future. "I will be fine later. I will go shopping with you. I will buy two sets for my family."
Ren Li glanced at her and saw that she was really not angry. She felt slightly relieved. She thought about it and said, "I won't go if I have something to do at home tomorrow."
This way the academy won't laugh at Su Yan.
Su Yan accepted her kindness and said, "You go ahead. It doesn't matter whether I go or not. I don't know many people."
"Wait for me for a quarter of an hour. I'll pick it up and then I'll go shopping with you. It won't snow this New Year, and it won't be very cold today."
"I guess it would be better if it didn't snow. It would be more convenient to go back to my parents' house. Last year, I couldn't walk halfway and was freezing to death." Mrs. Ren Li changed the subject.
There weren't many people on the street in winter, but there were a lot of people in the shops. I guess they were attending a book club tomorrow, and there were a lot of people in the clothing shops.
