The Valiant Farmgirl’s Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

56 Chapter 56: You Don’t Know a Single Word?

There were also Chinese yams and Chinese Toon shoots in the mountains.

Big Girl Li could get a lot of money whenever they entered the town.

Even if she were to buy it alone, it would only cost her 500 copper coins. However, it would take a few more days.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.

“Let’s go,” she said.

Back at the Song family.

Before Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li entered the courtyard, they could already hear the laughter inside.

Furthermore, Big Girl Li thought that this laughter was familiar.

Then, they pushed open the courtyard door and entered. The two of them saw the Song family’s mother and two children, as well as Aunt Liu and Liu Xiaomei.

At this moment, the mother and daughter of the Song family were sitting on the steps below the roof eaves, weaving straw sandals, while the mother and daughter of the Liu family were sitting on the stools, chatting and laughing with the two.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li return, everyone in the courtyard was surprised.

“You’re back!” Madam Liu was the first to get up and stopped what she was doing.

“Why did you come back so early?” Aunt Liu also stood up and walked towards the two with Madam Liu.

After chatting warmly for a while, Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li finally realized that the Liu family’s mother and daughter were here to thank the Song family.

They had been here for a while and had even brought over half a basket of vegetables and 20 eggs.

“Sanya, with you taking care of Big Girl, I don’t have to worry!”

“If you need anything in the future, just order her to help.”

“…” After that, Aunt Liu pulled Qin Xiaoyao affectionately, and Qin Xiaoyao was treated to a repeat telling of what happened in town as narrated by Big Girl Li’s mother.

“Gosh, enough already, Mother! It’s almost time!” Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s unwilling expression of being coerced, Big Girl Li finally spoke up.

“It’s getting late. You should quickly take Xiaomei back to cook.” As she spoke, Big Girl Li gave the backpack to her mother-in-law.

Aunt Liu accepted it subconsciously.

“I’ll settle the accounts with Sister Sanya and be back later!” Big Girl Li was all smiles as she saw her mother-in-law off.

Aunt Liu had no choice but to thank the Song family again before leading Liu Xiaomei away.

After leaving the Song family’s house, Aunt Liu finally came to her senses.

She then checked the backpack that her daughter-in-law had given her.

When she found that there was not only tofu, but also meat, candy pieces, and other precious things, Aunt Liu’s heart ached.

Spendthrift… what a spendthrift…

At this moment, Big Girl Li didn’t know any of this.

She walked up to Madam Liu with a beaming smile and told her what happened after she and her Sister Sanya entered the town.

When Madam Liu learned that the price of Chinese yam had increased by one copper coin, and the price of Chinese Toon shoots was five copper coins per tael, she got a big shock.

After that, when she heard that the straw sandals had all been sold or placed at stalls, Madam Liu was even happier.

“It’s good that they are sold! It’s good that they are sold!” she repeated herself unconsciously.

Then, she quickly took out some copper coins from her pocket.

“Today, someone from the village came to buy straw sandals, and we sold a total of ten pairs. Take this…” She passed the copper coins to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao was quite surprised.

“The business is getting better and better?” She accepted it with a smile.

The smile on Madam Liu’s face deepened.

“He said he only found out that we were selling straw sandals when he saw you two carrying straw sandals to town.”

Qin Xiaoyao nodded with a smile.

“That’s great!”

After speaking, Qin Xiaoyao took out the things she bought for Song Que from the backpack, as well as the bag of candy.

Following that, she also mimicked Big Girl Li and handed the backpack to her mother-in-law.

“I feel like having meat. There’s also tofu. I’ll have to trouble you, Mother,” she said in a petulant manner.

Madam Liu was very surprised.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao’s backpack was indeed filled with these things, she glanced at her daughter-in-law with some reproach.

“My dear, you should buy less next time,” she said.

She only advised her to buy less, but did not tell her not to buy.

After all, her daughter-in-law was the head of the household now, so she didn’t want to interfere too much.

“I know, Mother.” Qin Xiaoyao agreed with a smile, but she didn’t take it to heart.

After experiencing the apocalypse, she really had no resistance to food.

Besides, everyone in the house, young and old, needed to nourish their bodies. It was necessary to improve the quality of the meals.

“Oh, yes. I also bought some chili sauce and pickled cabbage. They can be used as seasoning.” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something and reminded Madam Liu.

It had been so long since she had eaten spicy food, and she missed it so much.

“Alright!” Madam Liu agreed with a smile.

Only then did she carry the backpack to the kitchen.

After Madam Liu left, Qin Xiaoyao pulled the little child who ran over and looked down at her little brother-in-law.

Then, she handed a big bag of candy to the small child.

“You’ve worked hard, Ye’er. Everyone in our family will have a share of these candies. Each person… can get three pieces! Ye’er will be in charge of distribution.” Then, she winked at Song Ye.

Song Ye’s little face immediately broke into a big smile.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” Then, he grabbed the bag of candy and went to look for Song Yun.

Big Girl Li looked on from the side, her face a little envious.

“Your mother-in-law is so easy to talk to.” She whispered to Qin Xiaoyao, her tone filled with envy.

Madam Liu was not like her own mother-in-law at all, who liked poking her nose into this and that.

She didn’t let Aunt Liu take a good look at the things in her backpack just now. Otherwise, she would have started to nag.

Forget it. Even if she could avoid this just now, she would not be able to get any peace when she went back later.

“That’s because I know where to draw the line,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

“Wait for me here for a while. I’ll bring these things to my husband and then come out to settle the accounts with you.”

“Okay!”

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao carry her purchases and enter Song Que’s room.

After a few days of recuperation, Song Que was no longer lying down during the day. Instead, he was half-sitting up.

He was a bit surprised to see Qin Xiaoyao carrying so many things into the room.

“You bought… so much?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Qin Xiaoyao paused for a moment before replying, “It’s not just stuff for copying books. I thought you might know how to write and draw, so I bought an extra stack of low-grade white paper.”

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao walked to the bed and placed everything on the bedside table.

“In addition, I need some of those papers for copying books. And, I bought this brush for myself.”

Song Que was confused.

This woman didn’t know a single word and only knew some basic math, yet she still needed to use paper and brush?

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t explain when she saw his expression.

She took out Song Que’s inkstone from the cabinet, then went to get some water. She then began to grind some ink with the block of ink.

Then, she dipped her brush in the ink and started to record her expenses on the book-copying paper.

Song Que thought that Qin Xiaoyao was just putting on an act, but then he saw her doing calculations on another piece of white paper.

At the same time as she was calculating, Qin Xiaoyao was also muttering something.

After a while, Qin Xiaoyao was done with her calculations.

Seeing that Song Que was staring at her, she couldn’t help but smile at her attractive husband.

The result was that the other party rolled his eyes.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart tightened, then she left the house with the few pieces of paper.

Big Girl Li was still waiting outside.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao coming out, she went up to her.

“I’ve done the calculations. I’ll explain it in detail to you now. If you find any discrepancies, you can tell me,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

“Okay.” Big Girl Li nodded.

Qin Xiaoyao continued, “First of all, the price of Chinese yams has increased by one copper coin. Your portion yesterday was 31 catties and 2 taels, so let’s take it as 31 catties.”
