This time the Qi family lost their wives and soldiers, but Su Yan didn't plan to let them go just like this.
She is not someone to be trifled with.
Just because she couldn't do it at first doesn't mean she can endure it.
Looking at the woman's side face, Qin An suddenly thought of why his wife was not afraid that he would lose her. With his wife's brains, he would have a hard time.
He was relieved and said seriously: "Daughter-in-law, if I don't treat you well in the future, don't make it easy for me."
Su Yan laughed happily, "Sure, I'll make sure you don't even have any pants."
But I knew in my heart that if he treated her badly later, she wouldn't treat him the same way. He had already treated them enough.
Sure enough, Qin An asked someone to ask if the Qi family's shop was for sale. The Qi family said they would consider it, but they didn't think about it for long and agreed to sell it that night. For two thousand taels of silver, it was a bit expensive.
But doing business is not bad either.
After all, the location of Qijia Shop is very good.
The next day, Su Yan made a big show of asking people to change the plaque on the door of Qijia's shop to Qinsu's shop, and temporarily sell perfume, which disgusted Qijia.
We walked around the county town twice with gongs and drums.
It didn't take long for many people to know that the Qi family had no money and sold the shop to their rivals.
Now the shame has been thrown to the ancestors.
When Mrs. Qi heard the news, she couldn't breathe, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
The doctor came to the house and borrowed money from everywhere because he couldn't get it, which made the whole county a joke.
The Qi family usually offends many people, so there are many people who would take pleasure in others' misfortune. Otherwise, given the reputation of the Qi family as a scholarly family, there would be no one to help.
The gentlemen of several families in the county town gathered together to drink tea.
"That woman offended her. If she hadn't offended the Qi family, they could still have survived for more than ten years. Now the family is in decline. It only depends on whether Qi Er can pass the exam."
"If you can't, you can't turn over."
"That's not true. Speaking of which, I'm a little lucky that I didn't go against her to the end, otherwise we wouldn't be much better than the Qi family."
"We have to follow her footsteps in the future. By the way, what do you think about opening a shop in Fucheng?"
"I'll come over to Su Dong's family tomorrow to discuss it. We are old."
It's not that she is old, she is old in mind. If that woman were a man, she would be more promising than her husband.
Su Yan knew that Mrs. Qi was sick and couldn't get any money in the afternoon. In the morning, she smoked dried tofu at home and looked at the approaching New Year, so she had to get rid of the new year's goods.
The family has a prosperous New Year.
After listening to what Zhang Xiu said, she then said: "I'm afraid other people are also fanning the flames."
Zhang Xiu often helps out in the shop, so naturally he hears a lot about it. "It offended a lot of people."
Soon she became worried and said, "Madam, what if she takes revenge on us?"
"She's not that stupid. The Qi family can only rely on passing the exam to get ahead. They don't dare to do anything bad again."
"What if I pass the exam?"
"He can pass the exam, so can my husband, and he can do better than him."
Su Yan's confidence largely comes from Qin An, otherwise she would not dare to provoke the Qi family. After all, officials are more powerful than businessmen.
Zhang Xiu smiled and joked: "Madam, you always say a few words without me, and so does I."
"Don't talk about me. What's going on between you and the kid next door? I saw him giving you things several times." Su Yan said sternly.
Zhang Xiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and explained: "Nothing happened, I just helped him pick up some vegetables."
Su Yan knew this and thought about it seriously, "The kid next door is pretty good and a down-to-earth person. I'll tell you if you like it or not."
Zhang Xiu quickly shook his head and refused: "I'm not happy."
"real?"
"It would be better for him to marry anyone than a servant like me."
Su Yan used chopsticks to turn over the smoked dried beans in the dustpan, "If you look down on yourself, you will let others look down on you."
"If you want to be happy, be brave. A lifetime will only last a few decades."
"If you want to get married, I will give you my body deed. I will not count you as a servant."
"Just think about it yourself. If you marry the wrong person, your life will be over."
Zhang Xiu followed to help, "Madam, why do you want to marry me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan didn't hesitate much and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a woman fighting, and a man would still help?"
Zhang Xiu imagined it for a moment, shook his head and said, "The master is quite fierce."
"Everyone in the village is afraid of him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to live." Su Yan sighed.
Zhang Xiudao: "Madam, it's not easy for you."
"Don't talk about my affairs. What do you think about your own affairs? It's not like the kid next door doesn't know that you are helping me at my house. If you mean this, he definitely doesn't care." Su Yan analyzed.
Zhang Xiu couldn't think about it more than Su Yan, subconsciously he didn't dare to think that the family next door was well off and still ran a small business.
It is not difficult to find a girl from a good family with this condition.
Seeing that she was unwilling, Su Yan didn't say anything. She had to figure out some things on her own, otherwise she would be nothing if not married.
"Watch here, I'll go out to buy some food."
Just as I was about to leave, I saw a carriage at the door, and then someone came down.
Their eyes met, and it was a young man who said politely: "Is this the Qin family?"
Su Yan saw that he was well-dressed and that he belonged to a wealthy family. She nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Wang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Can I have a talk with you?"
"If you have anything to tell me, my husband-in-law is not at home." Su Yan said straightforwardly.
Wang Xuan hesitated and said, "I came here for the Ganoderma lucidum. I heard you still have half of the century-old Ganoderma lucidum."
Hearing this, Su Yan shook her head and said, "We won't sell it."
Ganoderma lucidum is hard to buy, but it can be used in emergencies when needed at home in the future.
"I know it's hard to force someone to do something difficult, but my mother urgently needs this medicinal material to cure her illness, otherwise she won't live for three months." Wang Xuan said with some jealousy.
When Su Yan saw him like this, she knew that he was in a hurry. She turned around and went to the house and handed him a box, "If there is anything left, give it back to us."
Unexpectedly, she gave it directly. Wang Xuan was stunned and said, "How much money did you say? I'll give it to you."
"No, just think of it as a good deed for my sons." Su Yan wanted to make money, but she wouldn't make money from this kind of thing.
Hearing this, Wang Xuan said gratefully: "When my mother recovers from her illness, I will definitely visit you to thank you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly.
Su Yan quickly moved away, "No, just give us the rest."
She would naturally tell Qin An about this. She was tidying up at night and her man was reading a book. She sat next to him and said, "A man came to the house today and asked for Ganoderma lucidum. He said it was to treat his mother's illness, so I gave it to him."
Hearing this, Qin An put down the book in his hand and said, "The doctor told me before that I didn't agree."
"I don't want to agree, but that person said that if the disease is not treated, he will not survive for three months. Hey, if your family has no difficulties, you should do it for the children at home."
"Um."
Qin An was just cold on the outside, but actually he was quite kind in his heart. Su Yan looked at his books and said, "How many of them are there left to read?"
"I didn't memorize the last paragraph. Sit down and wait for me for a while."
"Okay, otherwise the bed will be cold."
Su Yan is getting more and more squeamish now. She won't go to sleep if Qin An doesn't warm the bed. It will be very warm if someone warms the bed.
Qin An was quite happy that his daughter-in-law was acting coquettishly, "It'll be fine in a while."
After he finished memorizing the book, he took off his shoes and went to bed to warm the quilt. After he was warm, he waved his wife to come up.
As soon as he came up, he held her feet between his feet and gently rubbed them back and forth a few times. He said in a low voice, "You didn't soak your feet?"
"forget."
Su Yan hugged his waist and put her hands into his clothes habitually.
"I'll pick it up." Qin An said and sat up, then got out of bed, bent down and covered the quilt tightly before going out.
After a while, he came in with a tub of water, placed it beside the bed, and motioned her to get up and soak her feet.
After Su Yan soaked her feet, the man went to get some clothes and put them on her body. He sat next to her and said, "Don't cut them off, otherwise your feet won't be warm in the winter."
"good."
"It's good to be alone, but you have to remember, daughter-in-law, if you forget again, I will take care of you."
"Your cleaning is not serious at all." Su Yan accused with a smile.
Qin An said cheekily: "This is how you take care of your wife."
Su Yan raised her foot and kicked his calf, "Let's soak together."
"Um."
Qin An took a stool and sat opposite her. He took off his shoes and stepped into the wooden basin. His feet gently landed on Su Yan's feet.
The big feet directly covered her feet.
Su Yan laughed twice and said, "Mr. sir, are you childish?"
Qin An said "hmm", leaned forward, placed his lips on her mouth, and then bent down to massage her calves.
It seemed to be a bit colder tonight. The quilt was a bit cold, so the man got up in the middle of the night and took a quilt to cover it.
She yawned and said, "I'll go to Tuantuan and Erdan."
"You go to Tuantuan, I'll go to Erdan."
Tuantuan is sleeping next to Cuilan now, so it's naturally not good for Qin An to go.
After a while, Su Yan ran into the house with Tuantuan in her arms. Qin An quickly opened the quilt and said, "Are you awake?"
"Well, since I'm here, I want to hug you."
Su Yan placed Tuantuan in the middle, and Tuantuan stretched out his arms to hug her neck, "Mom."
"Well, be good, go to sleep." Su Yan coaxed.
Tuantuan fell asleep after a while, Qin An picked him up and put him on the other side so that he would not be crushed at night.
…
"It's frosty, no wonder it's not cold." Zhang Xiu in the yard looked at the lotus pond in the earthen vat and said.
Erdan ran over to take a look out of curiosity, stretched out his hand and poked it, the ice layer on it suddenly split, and he laughed happily.
Su Yan came out of the room and smoothed her hair, "Erdan, don't go playing. It's the easiest day to catch a cold."
"After washing your face, go buy steamed buns with daddy."
"Okay." Erdan immediately wiped his hands and ran to the kitchen.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Su Yan walked over and opened the door. It was the woman in the alley.
She brought a bowl of hot tofu and said, "Here, just start the pot and eat it while it's hot. The spicy food will cook on its own."
Su Yan quickly accepted, "Thank you, eldest sister."
"Thank you, my grandson asked you when you would set up a fish cake stall, and he wanted to eat it." The woman said with a smile.
It was hot and something happened, so we didn't set up a fish cake stall.
"I'll put it out tomorrow. I'll make some and send them over later."
"No, we'll come and buy it tomorrow. He's just greedy and it makes my ears hurt so I just asked."
"It's okay. I have nothing to do at home today. I plan to bake some pancakes to eat."
"Then I'll bring you some flour and meat. How about you teach me how to bake them together? Everyone in the family likes to eat them."
"Okay, just bring it over."
Before Su Yan could finish her words, a pair of hands took the hot bowl in her hand, and turned to look at her own bowl.
"Go and pour it, wash the bowl and take it out."
After Qin An left, the woman approached Su Yan and whispered, "I have something to tell you. How about asking your husband to teach my grandson how to read during the Chinese New Year? How about I give you money, a hundred cents a day?"
"It's hard to find a wife from outside, so I just thought that your family is good at studying."
Su Yan thought for a moment, "I'll ask him before I get back to you."
"become."
The woman took the bowl and left.
Su Yan told Qin An about this, and Qin An shook his head slightly, "I'm going hunting in the mountains in the winter."
You can make more money from hunting than from teaching.
He added: "Go to the penultimate family here, and that family will teach."
That family member, Su Yan, also heard about it and said that her family background was not very good. "I will tell her later."
She said very much: "Don't go hunting this year, spend the New Year with Tuantuan, Erdan and the others."
"We were very busy in previous years. Will we go back to the village this year?"
"If you want to go back, you can go back. If you don't want to go back, you can't go back. Just go back and burn incense in the second grade of junior high school."
"If I don't go back this year, the county will have fireworks this year."
Su Yan wanted to celebrate the New Year in the village and live a cleaner life, but those people didn't speak well and were afraid that Erdan and Tuantuan would hear her.
After her husband went to the academy, Su Yan went to the perfume shop. Business was very good during this period, and every woman wanted to have face during the New Year.
Shopkeeper Xiao was so busy that he was out of breath and finally sent people away, "My boss."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm looking for someone to help these two people." Su Yan said gratefully.
He was the only one looking after both shops. Shopkeeper Xiao didn't say anything about being tired and just worked hard.
Shopkeeper Xiao nodded, "Okay, boss, there are many people buying perfume, so we can give you a little more money."
"No, since the money has increased, only a few ladies will buy it. They will make a lot of money, but there are few people buying it, so it is better to sell it to more people."
Su Yan sat down and said, "Has anyone come to ask about opening a shop these days?"
"Yes, I didn't believe it when I said it was a thousand taels of silver." Shopkeeper Xiao said.
"It's okay, don't worry, these people are still waiting and watching. If our business is good, they will still come."
Su Yan took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to him, and said: "This is one month's wages. I will give it to you first and use it to prepare New Year's goods."
Shopkeeper Xiao took it and saw that there were ten taels of silver inside. He was stunned and said, "Master, there's not that much."
"You will be a little tired during this period, you should." Su Yan was not stingy with the wages. As long as shopkeeper Xiao was capable and worked steadily, she would be willing to do it.
After all, it is rare to find a satisfactory helper.
Shopkeeper Xiao was very embarrassed. He had taken so much money from his boss and was still not tired from working at the Qi family. "It's too much, boss, just give me my wages."
"Keep it."
Su Yan thought of something and asked again: "Have the Qi family been here?"
"No, the young master who came to visit me this morning came to see me and left not long after." Shopkeeper Xiao said truthfully.
"Okay, if they come to make trouble, just go to the government and report them directly."
"good."
Su Yan stayed for a while and was about to leave. Just as she was about to go out, the old man of the Qi family came to the door.
It smells like a book.
If the family had no money for expenses, he would not care about these mundane things.
"I used calligraphy and painting to exchange the shop."
Su Yan shook her head and said, "I'm not a scholar."
