Chapter 7 Going to the Market Together

"Brother, you made Mom so angry that she started coughing." Qin Xiuzhu complained.

Qin Yiran had no choice but to walk back with his crutches, sit on the edge of the bed, support Madam Qin and pat her back gently.

"The Liu family is willing to marry into our family because they think highly of you, but you are so arrogant? Don't you see what our family is like? If you don't marry a girl from the Liu family, you will remain single."

"Except for her bad temper, Liu Yingyue is pretty good in other aspects." Qin Xiuzhu thought of the delicious chicken soup and spoke up for Madam Qin.

But Qin Yiran remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Da Lang, go write a letter to ask your father to come back, set a date, and marry Yingyue as soon as possible. You are not a child anymore. The young men of your age in the village have already had children. Why are you not in a hurry?" Madam Qin said again.

As he was talking, he started coughing again.

Qin Yiran was inevitably blamed by Qin Xiuzhu again.

"I understand." Qin Yiran answered perfunctorily.
.
In the afternoon, the weather was fine. Qin Yiran was sitting in the yard, repairing his bow and arrow. Liu Yingyue came again.

"Qin Yiran, I got some medicine for Aunt Qin." Liu Yingyue pushed open the gate and walked in, carrying a few packets of medicine.

Seeing her walking home so familiarly, Qin Yiran was about to refuse with a sullen face, but Qin Xiuzhu came out of the kitchen and took the medicine in her hand, "Liu Yingyue, how many days' worth of medicine is this?"

"It's for three days. Take it for three days first. After three days, depending on the situation, I'll prescribe other medicine." Liu Yingyue said.

"how to eat?"

"You can do it once in the morning and once in the evening. Fry one packet at a time, and then fry it again at night."

Qin Xiuzhu took the medicine bag and went into the kitchen to find a small stove to boil the medicine.

Liu Yingyue saw Qin Yiran looking at her, so she walked over and looked at the bow and arrow with interest, "Qin Yiran, are you repairing bows and arrows?"

Qin Yiran lowered his head and continued to organize his bow and arrow, ignoring Liu Yingyue.

"Brother Qin." Yang Yongcui's voice called sweetly from the gate of the courtyard.

"I borrowed a donkey cart and will go to the market tomorrow. Are you and Xiuzhu going?" Yang Yongcui walked into the yard.
Seeing Liu Yingyue was there too, she walked up to Qin Yiran, squatted down, and deliberately squeezed back, almost pushing Liu Yingyue down.

Liu Yingyue narrowed her eyes.

This Yang Yongcui is a lychee with a white face but a black heart, and she has often caused trouble for the original owner.

"Yongcui, do you like Qin Yiran?" Liu Yingyue walked around Yang Yongcui and asked her deliberately.

Qin Yiran suddenly looked up at Liu Yingyue.

Liu Yingyue asked Yang Yongcui with a smile, "Do you want me to help you matchmake?"

Yang Yongcui's face suddenly turned red, and she stood up with embarrassment, "Liu Yingyue, you are an unmarried girl, aren't you ashamed to say this?"

"What's the big deal? Qin Yiran is unmarried and you are unmarried. I think you two are a good match." Liu Yingyue said deliberately again.

The result of being afraid of shame and caring about face is that you will be pursued and gossiped about by people who don't care about face.

It would be better for her to tell the gossip first.

Focus on one thing, walk other people's paths, and leave them with no way to go.

Yang Yongcui loved to stir up trouble between her and Qin Yiran.

The original owner was beaten to death by Qin Yiran at the instigation of Yang Yongcui.

In the book, this woman is a saint-like character. She never married any man, followed Qin Yiran all her life, and worked tirelessly to assist Qin Yiran.

The day after Qin Yiran killed the original owner, he died suddenly. Yang Yongcui supported a young child from a branch of the Qin family to ascend the throne. She was named the female national teacher and controlled the government for decades.

Liu Yingyue in the book is an extremely stupid cannon fodder, while Yang Yongcui is an extremely intelligent female imperial tutor who is praised by everyone for protecting the country.

She was the female imperial tutor who rose to the position by stepping on the original owner.

Even though Yang Yongcui was a reserved person, she was still shocked by Liu Yingyue's sudden words and blushed.

No longer feeling embarrassed to squat in front of Qin Yiran, he went into the kitchen with an embarrassed face to talk to Qin Xiuzhu.

Liu Yingyue raised her lips, squatted down in front of Qin Yiran, picked up a bow and arrow and looked at it.

"You pissed her off and you thought I would talk to you?"

"what?"

Qin Yiran snatched the bow and arrow from Liu Yingyue's hand, leaned on his crutches, and walked into the house.

Liu Yingyue shrugged her shoulders. Qin Yiran was really overthinking it.

She didn't care whether Qin Yiran talked to her or not at the moment, but she had to be on guard against Yang Yongcui telling tales to Qin Yiran at all times.
.
After Yang Yongcui and Liu Yingyue went back, Qin Yiran picked up a bow and arrow, leaned on a crutch, went to the back mountain of the village, and hunted some wild game.

Qin Xiuzhu carried the fat hare and pheasant and said with a smile, "Sister Yongcui asked us to go to the market together tomorrow. It's just right. We can take her car. Brother, let's sell the hare and buy some rice and flour. We don't have much rice and flour at home, and we've run out of cooking oil, so we have to buy some."

"We'll take our neighbor Uncle Zhou's ox cart to go to the market tomorrow. I've made an agreement with him." Qin Yiran said as he put away his bow and arrow.

"Why don't you take Sister Yongcui's donkey cart? Donkey carts are faster than ox carts." Qin Xiuzhu frowned.

Qin Yiran looked at Qin Xiuzhu, "I made an appointment with Uncle Zhou yesterday. Uncle Zhou turned down other offers and left his car to me. Now I don't want his car anymore. Will I be able to borrow it next time? Neighbors should keep their word."

"Ah? You agreed on that yesterday? Well, okay then." Qin Xiuzhu sighed in disappointment.

Qin Yiran went to his neighbor Zhou's house on crutches and paid twenty cents for the car rental.

Grandma Zhou smiled and said, "I was going to borrow the ox cart from my relative in the neighboring village, but since you have difficulty walking, you can't borrow a cart right now. I asked my relative to use it the day after tomorrow. They are just pulling straw anyway, so it won't be a problem if they wait a day or two. Next time you want to borrow a cart, tell me earlier. Since you suddenly asked today, I have to go and tell my relative."

Qin Yiran apologized, "I didn't lend you my car very often before. This time I just hunted some prey and was anxious to sell them to get money for my mother's medical treatment."

"Alas, your family is not easy either. Okay, the cow has been fed, you can take it away. Don't let it starve tomorrow, feed it more grass." Grandma Zhou led the cow over and handed it to Qin Yiran.

Qin Yiran thanked him and drove back home.
.
The next morning, at daybreak, lights were lit in the Qin family's courtyard.

Qin Xiuzhu harnessed the ox cart, helped Qin Yiran sit on it, put fodder for the oxen and three prey, put some dry food in, went into the house, said hello to Madam Qin, and closed the gate.

At this time, Yang Yongcui came driving a donkey cart.

Seeing Qin Yiran's ox cart, she smiled slightly, "Brother Qin's family has a car."

"Yes, it belongs to the neighbor." Qin Xiuzhu glanced at the donkey cart and sighed.

"Qin Yiran, Xiuzhu! Let's go to the market together." The light of the lanterns in front gradually got closer, and Liu Yingyue came riding on a donkey.

On the donkey's back were hung two cloth bags, which were filled to the brim.

"Let's go sell the game, Yingyue. You don't have any game to sell, so it's not on the way." Yang Yongcui pointed to a wild rabbit and a basket of pheasant eggs on her donkey cart and said with a raised eyebrow.
