Chapter 44 Dont be afraid, he will take care of anything
Su Yan thought this was a bit weird, but she couldn't explain why. She thought she was overthinking it and continued feeding the chickens after a while.
After a while, she packed up their clothes and went to the river to wash them. "Brother Qin, I'm going to wash my clothes." After saying that, she carried the basket on her back and went out with the mallet and soap locust.
Qin An subconsciously looked at her back until he couldn't see her anymore, then he lowered his head and continued to make wooden hairpins. The last few hairpins had been soaked in water for a few days, dried in the sun and were ready for use. He just polished the outside carefully.
It was almost noon when Su Yan came back with the basket on her back. Qin An clapped his hands and stood up, reaching out to take the basket on his back.
Su Yan raised her hand and wiped her sweat, then remembered something and said: "Brother Qin, I heard that you can go to the village chief to get rice. The government gives you two kilograms of rice per person."
"I'll pick it up later."
Qin An went to the main room and poured a bowl of water for her, and then said, "I'll dry it."
There was Su Yan's bellyband inside. Although she didn't think it was anything, it couldn't be seen by men here, so it had to be somewhat avoided.
"It's not much, I'll just dry it."
After she drank the water, she started to dry her clothes. She took the remaining bellyband to dry by the window of the room, because it was covered and could not be seen unless she came in.
When he came out, Qin An had already washed his hands, looked at her and said, "I'll get it."
"I'll go with you. I said I'll give you rice only when someone arrives." Su Yan tugged at the corner of her clothes and raised her hand to ruffle her hair.
Now the young woman was facing the light, the fine hairs on her cheeks could be seen, and her white face was slightly flushed.
Qin An couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and when he came to his senses, he walked out unnaturally, followed by Su Yan.
It looks very much like a little daughter-in-law following her husband-in-law.
The two met Goudan's family on the way. Goudan's mother was still muttering something in a low voice. When she saw Su Yan spreading the rice for her to see, she said dissatisfiedly: "There's a lot of sand mixed in. It's not easy to get some rice.
If you give me a pound, I'll give you a pound. What's the point of doing this?"
Su Yan took a look and saw that there was indeed a lot of sand. I'm afraid it wasn't made by the government, but by the village chief's family.
However, she was not convinced about this matter, and she could not stand out and still live in this village.
None of the people in the village raised the issue, and the village chief wouldn't pay attention to her if she did.
Of course, if she was the only one carrying the sand, she would definitely not agree.
When the village chief saw Qin An coming, he said to the old woman: "Give them two bags of rice."
The old woman rolled her eyes, then went to get a bag of rice, and said angrily: "The widow doesn't have it."
Su Yan is not afraid of trouble. If others have it, she must also have it. "Oh, then I will go to the Yamen and ask why the widow doesn't have it?"
Old Mrs. Fan choked, and the village chief glared at her. Obviously he didn't dare to go to the government, and immediately urged: "You are a short-sighted woman, go and get it!"
Mrs. Fan reluctantly went to get it. Su Yan took it and was about to leave when Qin An opened the rice and said in a sharp tone: "Change it to one without sand."
Mrs. Fan was unhappy at first. When she heard this, she said angrily: "Do you want love or not? Don't push her down."
Qin An pursed his lips, showing no intention of negotiating, "Then I'll take it."
Su Yan didn't expect Qin An to be like this suddenly. She was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he was not easily bullied. He just didn't want to worry about it.
This would be good, at least it would prevent others from bullying him easily.
Just as Mrs. Fan was about to yell something, the village chief stopped her and glanced at Qin An with a bad expression. Then with a livid face, she went to the house and took out two bags of rice without sand.
She guessed it right. Su Yan rolled her eyes, thought of something, and suddenly said loudly: "Thank you, village chief, for so much rice. Thank you, village chief. Village chief, you are such a good person. I will definitely thank you in the next life."
Qin An glanced at her, with a smile on his lips, obviously knowing what she was going to do.
He didn't seem to be afraid that Su Yan would cause him any trouble.
He stepped forward and stood in front of her.
The village chief's expression changed and he quickly raised his hand to signal her to lower her voice and scolded: "Stop talking and leave quickly."
People around thought that the village chief had given Su Yan too much rice, so they all ran over to take a look. Su Yan immediately walked away holding the rice in her arms.
Seeing how sneaky she was, a woman refused to let her go and immediately said: "Widow Li, open the rice and see if there is too much."
"I'm going to get my scale. If there are too many, I won't do it."
"We won't do it either."
Su Yan said innocently: "I only have two kilograms of rice, really." After saying that, she opened it and showed it to them, as if she really wasn't lying.
Seeing this, the village chief's face turned into the bottom of a pot for a moment. When the others saw that her rice was not mixed with sand, they were unconvinced and looked at the village chief one by one.
"Village chief, what's going on? Why do we have sand?"
"We won't leave until you give us an explanation."
"unacceptable!"
When Mrs. Fan saw this, she put her hands on her hips and cursed: "If you want love, don't pull me down!"
"Shut up! Everyone, calm down!" The village chief was immediately worried.
Women are so arrogant that they can't let others take advantage of them. They won't shut up for a moment, "Quiet, Quiet, you've got all the rice mixed with sand."
"You think the Qin family is not easy to bully? Just bully us."
After Su Yan finished her good deed, she left with Qin An. When they were far away, she let out a laugh, feeling a lot of bad breath in her heart.
Qin An glanced at her, lowered his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled a bit.
Goudan's mother came over to watch the fun and asked her, "What's going on? Why are you crazy again."
"Take the rice and exchange it for clean rice. Go quickly." Su Yan glanced at the rice.
Goudan's mother saw it and ran back quickly, carrying several bags of rice, cursing along the way: "I know that someone has corrupted me, it's really wicked!"
"Shameless! So shameless"
For a while, the village was as lively as a dinner party. Su Yan watched the excitement at the door for a while, then went to the kitchen to make food.
After a while, Goudan's mother came over with rice and said, "Sister, thank you, I got it. The Fan family is really not that good, even rice is greedy."
"Just get it." Su Yan replied from the kitchen.
In the afternoon, Qin An made wooden hairpins at home, and in the evening he made more than a dozen wooden hairpins.
He planned to go hunting in the mountains tonight. When Su Yan was about to cook, he said, "Don't do it to me. Eat it by yourself. I want to go up the mountain."
Su Yanlicai paused her hand and said subconsciously: "It's not safe after dark, so why not go early in the morning."
"It's okay. I'll be back tomorrow morning. If you have any, take them to town with you. Lock the door at home. If someone knocks on the door, don't open it." Qin An warned uneasily.
He paused and then said: "The machete under the bed. If someone comes in, don't be afraid. I'll take care of it." He said it very seriously.
