Su Yan thought he was angry. After all, women in this place had no right to make the decision.
She quickly explained: "I didn't mean to interrupt, I just wanted to help sell it together."
"no."
Qin An bent down and fiddled with the back of the basket, and then said: "What they are looking at is not the rabbit, but you."
Hearing this, Su Yan understood what he meant. She was a little dumbfounded and said, "They can watch it if they want. I can't live without seeing people for the rest of my life."
Who else can a widow rely on but herself? If she cannot get out of the house without taking two steps, she will die in the house within seven days.
But gossip is indeed unpleasant, especially for women of this dynasty.
When she said this, Qin An was silent for a moment and said nothing. However, when someone looked at her with ill intentions, he would still block it.
Su Yan didn't notice it at first, but later she found it, and she felt warm in her heart. She was a person who always repaid kindness. When the time came, she would solve her own problem and help him if she could.
When it was almost noon, the prey was sold out, and then the two went to the medicine shop to sell herbs for more than ten cents.
The doctor knew that Qin An was a hunter, so he gave him a drawing and said, "When we go up the mountain, help me pay attention to this herb. It costs one tael per plant. It is hard to find. You can only find it near the deep mountains and cliffs."
"Okay." Qin An took it and put it in his sleeve.
The doctor glanced at Su Yan and asked with a smile, "Have you got a wife? She's so cool."
Qin An looked at the woman standing neatly next to him. He shook his head and explained: "She is my sister."
The doctor was a little surprised and said: "You have a girl, have you promised to kiss her?"
Most women wear their hair in a bun, but Su Yan's braids made it hard to tell whether she was married or not.
"As I said, we'll leave first if we have something else to do."
Qin An signaled Su Yan to go out. After the two went out and walked a little further, Qin An suddenly explained, "The doctor's son doesn't work all year round."
Su Yan didn't realize what he meant at first, but after a while she realized that he was explaining.
"Thank you, Brother Qin. I won't marry again. I just want to live a good life."
"Where can I buy spices? Buy some and cook some, then weigh some lard."
"The one on the corner ahead." Qin An watched the woman walking in front and looked at her with some inquiry.
This man seems really different.
As soon as Su Yan arrived at the shop, the owner of the shop greeted her and said enthusiastically: "Widow Li, what do you want to buy?"
This is the only grocery store in town. I usually buy salt and other things here, so the owner naturally knows her.
Before Su Yan could say anything, a figure hurriedly came in, "You go outside to work, I'll greet you, go quickly..." She started to chase him away as she spoke.
The boss reluctantly went out, "You bitch..."
Although the boss's wife didn't like Su Yan, she still knew that she wanted to do business. "What to buy?"
Su Yan didn't care about her reaction, "I want five taels of pepper and chili powder each, and half a catty of salt. Can it be cheaper?"
Seeing how much she bought, the owner's wife was also quite happy, "Sichuan peppercorns, chili powder are six cents a tael, salt is fifty cents a catty, a total of eighty-five cents, you can just give me eighty cents."
Su Yan nodded, "Then weigh it for me." After saying that, she took out half a tael of silver.
The boss's wife glanced at her and felt that she was quite agile this time. She had been timid for a long time in the past, fearing that she would knock on the scale, and would speak in a low voice.
"Seeing how much you buy, I'll give you a handful of green onions."
"Thanks."
Su Yan saw a soybean seller at the door, pointed at it and asked, "How much is a pound of this?"
The boss's wife took one look at it and said, "That one is cheap, if you want it, it's three cents and two pounds."
"Is five cents and four pounds okay? These beans should be from the year before last." Su Yan bent down and grabbed a handful and looked at them. The beans looked a little gray.
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so cheap. This year's beans are four cents per pound, five cents and four pounds, four pounds."
The owner's wife was very happy, and then said: "To tell you the truth, ground tofu doesn't taste very good, and it can't be used as seeds. I won't return it if I buy it."
Su Yan planned to use it to grow bean sprouts. Now that there is no land to grow vegetables, the bean sprouts can be eaten for a while. "I know, they weigh ten cents."
After saying that, she looked at Qin An who came in and said, "What else are you buying?"
Qin An pointed at the rice and said, "I want five jins of coarse rice and five jins of fine rice."
"How much money is it in total?"
When the boss's wife heard what he said, she glanced at the two of them, her gossipy expression was very obvious, "The coarse rice is eight cents per catty, the fine rice is twelve cents per catty, a total of one hundred cents, plus these, the total is one hundred and nine cents."
Ten coins, and I’ll give you a handful of green onions.”
Su Yan quickly handed her the money and said, "Take it from me."
Before the host's wife said anything, Qin An counted one hundred and ninety coins and put them on the counter, then put them in a backpack and put the weighed things in the backpack.
Su Yan had no choice but to take back the money, thinking that it would be given to him later. After putting everything away, Qin An picked it up with one hand and carried it behind his back.
The owner's wife praised, "My brother is still very strong. I'll buy it next time after eating."
"I'll carry the beans." Su Yan thought that it would be difficult to carry them after such a long walk.
"No need." Qin An said and went out with the basket on his back.
Su Yan quickly followed behind, and the two of them went to the pork stall to buy pork fat and boil it in oil.
When Qin An was choosing, Su Yan accidentally saw the patched shoes on his feet. He had probably patched them himself, as the stitching was a little crooked.
She glanced around and landed on the cloth shop diagonally opposite. "Brother Qin, I'm going to buy something. Please wait for me."
While talking, I looked at his shoes again and estimated their approximate size.
Qin An looked away when he saw her going to the cloth shop opposite, and said to the butcher, "I want another pound of lean meat."
After a while, Su Yan came over with a cloth bag. Qin An motioned for her to put it in the backpack, and she put it in.
After buying everything, the two of them rushed to the village. After walking most of the way, Su Yan was out of breath, but Qin An was not out of breath at all.
Sure enough, a strong person is good.
Qin An could see that she was tired, "Let's rest for a while under the tree in front."
Su Yan shook her head. It was already getting late. It would be dark if we waited too long to go back. It would be difficult to cross the river by then.
In addition, Qin An hasn't eaten all day.
Qin An didn't say anything, and stopped when he reached the tree. Su Yan had no choice but to sit on the ground and take a breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw his shoes opening.
She stood up, reached for the cloth bag, and took out the black boots inside and gave them to him, "Brother Qin, wear these."
"I think the one I bought should be suitable."
Looking at the shoes, Qin An instinctively froze for a moment. When he realized it, he pursed his lips and said, "No need."
"Don't worry, I don't want to be your wife, I'm just grateful that you took me in."
Su Yan forced it on him and said: "I'm going to nag Brother Qin for a while, so just accept it, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to live with you."
