Hearing this, Mrs. Ren Li was shocked and could not speak for a while. For Qin An, this matter was a serious crime that required beheading.
She suppressed her fear and said: "Write him a letter quickly. It's not worth using this method. I heard that many widows have made trouble with the government in the past few years. I'm afraid the court will relent after a few more years."
Su Yan shook her head and said: "He will definitely use this opportunity to fight for it."
"My wife can't wait any longer."
This time is the best opportunity for both of them, to exchange peace for their family at the highest price.
Qin An doesn't care about official career, nor does she care about being an official's wife. They just want the family to live peacefully in a certain county or a certain village.
Ren Li sighed, "After studying for so many years, don't you feel that you are at a loss?"
With Qin An's talents and knowledge, it is a sure thing to become an official in the capital. If he fails to succeed, other men may have heart problems.
Su Yan said warmly: "I used to be satisfied if my family's money could buy more than a dozen kilograms of meat. Now that the business is growing, it is just for the family to live a stable life."
"What we want in the end is the same."
Ren Li looked in a daze. She helped her family with the business just to gain a foothold at home and live a stable life.
She suddenly laughed and said: "My father-in-law always praises you for your intelligence, and I agree. Now it seems that your intelligence is actually transparent."
"Okay, I will accept this."
"Sorry for the trouble." Su Yan said gratefully.
It was difficult to buy five thousand kilograms of grain, so Su Yan followed Dongzi to all the rice and grain shops in the county and found only more than three thousand kilograms.
Naturally, such a large county cannot only have more than 3,000 kilograms of grain, but the recent disaster relief can make a fortune for the country, so they will not sell it all to her.
Su Yan had no choice but to ask Dongzi to go to the next county town to buy it.
For several days, several people were busy without touching the ground. After receiving the letter from Qin An, Su Yan stopped what she was doing and read it carefully.
Knowing that he had arrived in the capital safely, she finally let go of her worries.
After packing up the letter, Su Yan came out of the house and saw Erdan squatting in the yard with Tuantuan watching the insects crawling.
"Erdan, Tuantuan, are you hungry? Mom, make something to eat."
Erdan turned to look at her and took out a little pancake from his arms, "I'm not hungry. I just bought a pancake to feed my brother, and he ate most of the pancake."
Hearing this, Su Yan felt a little moved. She walked over and touched Erdan's head, "Go out and play with someone. Mom, watch your brother."
There were not enough people in the family, so Cuilan was called out to look at the brothel.
Erdan shook his head, "I'm playing with my brother. Mom, you can take a rest."
Tuantuan suddenly chuckled, "Fly..., Chongchong."
Su Yan's fatigue disappeared, she reached out and pinched his little face gently, "Don't bully brother."
Tuantuan is now a bit temperamental, and if things don't go his way, he will arrest people.
The adults knew a little more, Erdan probably wanted him to be happy, so he let him catch him.
Thinking of this, she looked at Erdan: "My brother will catch you and beat you, you have to stay away."
She didn't let Erdan fight back because she knew he couldn't fight in groups.
This kid is so sensible that it makes people feel sad.
At this time, Cuilan came back panting, entered the hospital and closed the door before saying: "Madam, Madam Ren said that the things have been delivered, and the news of the master's disaster relief will be spread in a few days."
Su Yan couldn't wait a few days, "Sister Cui, you look after the two children at home, I'll go out to do some errands."
"Erdan hasn't eaten yet, take him out to eat something."
Cuilan felt sorry for her that she hadn't had a break these days, "Madam, take a break, you've been tired these days."
Su Yan signaled that it was okay, "I don't have to be busy anymore after I finish my work."
After being busy this time, it's Qin An's turn to be busy.
She raised her head and glanced at the sky, then said: "Sister Cui, let's go to the temple tomorrow."
Cuilan nodded: "Okay."
There was a violent storm that night, but luckily Qin An cut down the tree before leaving, otherwise he would have smashed many things.
…
Beijing
Xiaoliu went out to buy vegetables as usual, and the stall owner chatting with the stall owner next door.
"It is said that Qin An sent five thousand catties of grain to southern Fujian, but the court did not send more than him."
"Which Qin An?"
"That's the one who ranked first on the list this time."
"What's his family background?"
"Who knows, it's just a good thing. He will benefit us common people when he becomes an official in the future."
"That's true."
Xiaoliu ran home after buying groceries, and when he was almost at the door, he moved a little more gently. At this time, the master was reading a book.
He put the dishes in the kitchen, hesitated for a moment and then went to Qin An, "Master."
Qin An said "hmm" without raising his head, and Xiao Liu said: "The vegetable seller just said that you donated five thousand kilograms of grain to southern Fujian. Master, is there any danger?"
Qin An suddenly raised his head and looked at him. Xiao Liu was startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
After a while, Qin An looked away again, put a little more force on the brush in his hand, and said hoarsely: "Get out."
After the wooden door closed, he raised his hand to wipe the end of his eyes and continued to write.
…
As the day of the palace examination approached, Su Yan felt restless and couldn't sleep at night. On the day of the palace examination, she was even more absent-minded and her eyelids kept twitching.
With a "boom", another bowl broke. Zhang Xiu quickly stopped her from cooking, "Madam, I'll do it."
Su Yan came back to her senses, handed her the spatula, sat at the door of the stove, and looked at the sky outside.
Zhang Xiu glanced at her and said, "Madam, I will definitely hit the target. Don't worry too much."
Su Yan nodded, got up and went out. Tuantuan was sleeping in the room now. She sat by the bed and stared at his face that looked like her father's.
After a while, she lowered her head, raised her hand to wipe the end of her eyes, and murmured to reassure herself: "It'll be okay."
Still unable to sleep at night, I simply sat up and went to the study, taking out a thick stack of rice paper for Qin An's calligraphy practice from the drawer.
Su Yan flipped through the pages one by one, and finally she lay on the table and cried...
The sky outside the window gradually turned gray and turned pale. The woman on the desk looked up and then raised her hand to touch her eyes.
She stood up, packed up the rice paper again, and put it in the drawer.
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by a man's hoarse voice, "Daughter-in-law! I'm back."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking she was in a daze, and didn't move for a while until the man's urgent voice came from outside the door again, "Daughter-in-law."
What followed was a round of crying, getting louder and louder.
She suddenly ran out quickly, crossed over to the guy who was opening the door, unlocked the door, and opened it.
The man outside was soaked to the skin, his hair was wet, and he was in an extremely miserable state.
But Su Yan didn't care, she jumped into his arms, hugged him tightly, and suddenly choked with sobs: "Mr.
Qin An hugged her tightly and patted her back gently with his big hands, "Daughter-in-law, it's okay." He choked up a little after he said it.
It has only been less than half a month, and my wife has lost a lot of weight.
He hugged her tighter and said, "Daughter-in-law, I will never leave you again."
