The man's words were not gentle at all. Zhou Xi and Zhou Jin's expressions changed. Seeing Qin An's big and thick appearance, both of them were a little scared.
Seeing Zhou Xi's cowardice, Su Yan didn't know why she fell in love with him. Whether he could do it or not was secondary. If he couldn't even protect the person he liked.
Being together is also bad luck.
Not wanting to waste time on the two of them, she turned around and said, "Brother Qin, let's go."
Qin An said "Yeah", then he hugged her and walked away. After walking for a while, he took back his hand.
He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and pursed his lips as he thought of what Zhou Jin said.
Does she really want to marry him...
Su Yan didn't even think about the Zhou family's affairs. After all, it had nothing to do with her. When she saw wild onions on the roadside, she pinched the seedlings and then tended them as she walked.
After a while, she remembered something and said: "Brother Qin, what kind of vegetables should I buy?"
She asked but saw no answer from him. She turned her head to look at him and saw that his forehead was tensed, as if he was thinking about something, "What's wrong?"
Qin An paused for a moment, then quickly walked away again, saying in a low voice and firmly: "I will be good to you."
Marry him and he won't let him be wronged.
Hearing this, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and when she realized it, she realized that it was because of the Zhou family's affairs. She explained: "Brother Qin, don't think too much about it. I have nothing to do with the Zhou family. That was all in the past."
"I promised you, and I won't agree casually. I will live with you with peace of mind."
If she could promise Qin An, she would naturally be rushing to make a living.
Qin An's eyes lit up and he said in a low voice, "I thought you were unwilling."
Su Yan was arranging the wild onions and said: "I am willing, but if I am not willing, I will live by myself. Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be bored."
She doesn't like two people being bored and guessing at each other. She just needs to be more honest in life.
Qin An nodded and said somewhat honestly: "Then I will tell you directly next time." After saying that, he reached out and took the wild onions in her hand.
"I'll take care of it."
Su Yan didn't fight with him. She stared at the roadside and pinched them when she saw one. The two of them walked to the town entrance and picked up a lot of wild onions.
Qin An was carrying them tied up in his hands. An aunt thought they were selling wild onions and asked, "How much does a penny of wild onions cost?"
Su Yan smiled and said: "We won't sell them. We pinched them on the roadside and took them home to eat."
"I also said that if you want to sell it, just weigh it."
The woman wanted to buy it very much. Wild onions stir-fried with meat were very fragrant, especially bacon. However, the wild onions were small and difficult to manage, and they had to be dug up.
She added: "Can you sell some to me? I'll take it home and fry the bacon."
Hearing this, Su Yan hesitated and gave her a small handful, "You can give me five cents for this."
The woman said happily: "Okay, thank you, sister." After she finished speaking, she counted five coins and gave them to her.
After she left, Su Yan looked at Qin An with a smile, "I have the money for the steamed buns."
Before the two of them had eaten, they went to the bun shop and bought some hot meat buns. Su Yan divided them into two portions and handed one to Qin An, "Is that enough? If it's not enough, buy more?"
Qin An took it and said, "That's enough."
There were a lot of people going to the market, and Qin An was worried that Su Yan would be crowded out, so he finished the buns in just a few bites.
The two of them were originally next to each other, but a woman came over to buy something across the street.
Qin An frowned and squeezed forward a few steps. After approaching Su Yan, he grabbed her wrist and felt relieved.
Meeting her gaze, he said unnaturally and lowly: "Eat."
Su Yan was startled for a moment and subconsciously looked at the big hands on her wrists. It was probably because of the cold weather that her hands were frozen and cracked.
She didn't say anything, just lowered her head and ate her buns. With Qin An there, she didn't feel crowded at all. If anyone looked over, Qin An would stretch out his other hand to block it.
Others didn't dare to say anything when they saw his strong appearance and fierce look.
After Su Yanyan finished eating the steamed buns, she started to visit the market. Suddenly she saw a soybean seller and said, "Brother Qin, there is a soybean seller. Buy some and go back to push the tofu."
After saying that, she squeezed to the stall and said, "Auntie, how do you sell beans?"
"Five cents per pound, sister, my beans are big, and the tofu is particularly good at making molded tofu."
The aunt grabbed it and showed it to her. It was quite a big bean and it was obviously much better than the one she bought last time.
Su Yan stopped negotiating the price with her and said cheerfully: "I want four kilograms."
Su Yan was about to touch the money, but Qin An stopped her and said, "I'll pay."
The aunt glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "The couple has a really good relationship. How many years have they been married?"
The two of them were holding hands. If they said they were not married, I guess others would not know what they were thinking. Su Yan responded: "It won't take long."
The aunt said nothing, and found a cloth bag for them to put in. "This bag will be delivered to your door. It will be much more convenient to buy rice."
Qin An counted twenty coins to her, picked up the beans with one hand, put them into the basket with his backhand, and then held Su Yan's wrist and went out.
Just as Su Yan was about to say something, someone touched her butt. She turned her head and looked over, facing the wretched bearded man.
She raised her hand and gave him a slap. If you don't let this kind of person suffer, you will dare to do this to others next time.
The bearded man covered his face and stared at her fiercely, "Smelly bitch!"
Qin An turned his head and looked over. He knew what was going on after a moment's thought. He had a dark face and held the bearded man's collar in his other hand.
He pulled him out of the market with great force, and then kicked him up, causing the bearded man to let out an "ouch".
Qin An was very scary when he was angry. He walked up to him and stepped on his wrist, crushing him hard. The bearded man's voice was hoarse from the pain, "Ahh..."
Su Yan was also startled. She was afraid that something might happen, so she pulled Qin An and said softly: "Brother Qin, that's enough."
Qin An's lips curled into a straight line, but he still let go of his feet. He looked at Su Yan and said in a low voice, "Wait until there are fewer people before we go shopping."
Su Yan glanced at the bearded man, it was so painful that tears came out of her nose. She didn't sympathize with him at all, "Then let's go to Buzhuang first."
Qin An said "hmm".
Buzhuang
The owner of Buzhuang was all familiar with them and greeted them warmly: "What can I buy?"
"Buy a coat and bedding."
Su Yan looked at the men's ready-made clothes. They had slanted collars and stand-up collars, but they were not too thick. There were a few hooded cloaks hanging next to them.
"Brother Qin, how about those two sets? They are crescent color and light gray. You can buy a black cloak. You can make a hairpin and wear it when the time comes."
Qin An nodded, "Okay, what do you like? Choose more clothes." After speaking, he looked at the woman's clothes.
As soon as the boss heard this, he knew they were going to buy a lot. He immediately took some women's clothes and showed them to Su Yan, "Sister, look at these. They are all very beautiful and thick. All the ladies in the county wear them like this."
"This dress also comes with a rabbit fur collar. You will definitely feel warm wearing it."
"It's not convenient for work. I want a coat made of coarse cloth." Su Yan shook her head.
The two sets Qin An bought before, she was afraid of getting damaged while working, they were definitely not cheap.
The boss said "Hey" and gave her an angry look, "It's the Chinese New Year, so what else is there to do? Why don't you buy one for the Chinese New Year and another piece of coarse cloth for work?"
Before Su Yan could say anything, Qin An next to her interrupted: "Buy two of the same."
He paused and then added: "I want a red one for the Chinese New Year."
There is a custom in the village that if you wear red during the New Year, you will have good luck and avoid getting sick in the coming year.
Su Yan knew that Qin An was not the kind of person who spent money recklessly, but was very willing to give up on her.
However, she was reluctant to spend money randomly, as long as she had enough clothes, she quickly said: "There are too many, just one red one and one coarse cloth one."
Qin An looked at her and said in a low voice: "Two of the same items, if you don't choose, I will pick them for you."
