She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 8: Caring for Your Man
"I'm going to buy some embroidery, hairbands and fabrics. It's a changing season, so I'm going to look for new fabrics." Liu Yingyue patted the bag on the donkey's back and nodded to Qin Xiuzhu, "Xiuzhu, do you want to come with me?"

Qin Xiuzhu's family was poor, but she loved to go to cloth shops, with the idea that she could afford something even if she couldn't.

According to Qin Xiuzhu, you should look carefully first and then buy it when you have money in the future.

Every time she went to market, Qin Xiuzhu would take time to visit the cloth shop.

The original owner had no worries about food, clothing and other daily necessities. She had a lot of fabrics as a dowry, some of which were bought from the county town. The cheap fabrics sold at the small market in the village were not at all acceptable to the original owner.

Qin Xiuzhu asked Liu Yingyue to go shopping in a cloth shop, but was ridiculed by the original owner several times.

Gradually, Qin Xiuzhu stopped going to the market with Liu Yingyue, and the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law became increasingly distant.

When Qin Xiuzhu heard that she was invited to go shopping at the cloth shop, she immediately said happily, "Liu Yingyue, let's go together."

"Okay, I'll ask you to go with me after I deliver the embroidery to Lin's Embroidery Shop." Liu Yingyue nodded.

"Okay, let's put it this way." Qin Xiuzhu said with a happy smile.

Yang Yongcui glanced at the two of them, bit her lip, turned the donkey cart around, and wanted to talk to Qin Yiran.

But Qin Yiran was busy inserting torches into the ox cart for lighting and ignored her.

Yang Yongcui was disappointed.

Qin Yiran's ox cart was in the lead, Liu Yingyue rode a donkey on one side, and Yang Yongcui's donkey cart was at the end.

Liu Yingyue chatted with Qin Xiuzhu about family matters from time to time.

Qin Yiran didn't say anything, but would occasionally turn his head to glance at Liu Yingyue.

Yang Yongcui also wanted to drive side by side with Qin Yiran's ox cart, but the village road was too narrow to accommodate two carts.

What made her even more annoyed was that the donkey cart was borrowed and she was not familiar with the donkey's temper. Before they even walked out of the village, the donkey became stubborn and refused to move forward.

By the time she had fed the donkey water and food and coaxed it into submission, Qin Yiran and his sister, and Liu Yingyue, had already disappeared from sight in front of her.

The torch light on the front of their car was completely invisible.

But she was unwilling to go back just like that, so Yang Yongcui had to bite the bullet and drive the donkey cart forward alone.
.
Today is the day of the big market. On the village road, you can see many villagers going to the market at any time.

Most of the people in the village are not rich. Few of them drive carriages or ride animals. Most of them walk.

Others were carrying heavy loads.

A middle-aged man walking with a child on his back asked Qin Yiran if he could give them a ride to the market.

The man was carrying a boy of five or six years old on his back and had a basket in his hand filled with eggs. He was probably taking the boy to sell eggs.

The baby is throwing a tantrum and refuses to walk.

But he was worried that the eggs would break as he was carrying the baby on his back, and the man looked at the eggs in the basket anxiously.

According to the rules of the villagers, a ride costs two cents per person. If you have a load, you have to pay double the price, which is four cents.

But Qin Yiran has never been stingy with small amounts of money and has always been generous.

As a result, the family has always been poor.

Everyone in the village has offered to give money for their help, but he has refused to accept it. If this continues, the Qin family will remain poor.

Liu Yingyue was worried that Qin Yiran would be generous enough to help for free again, so she said first, "Sure, two cents per person, for the two of you, you have to give four cents."

"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and put the boy on the ground.

When the child saw that there was a cart to ride on, he happily climbed onto it.

The man counted out four cents and gave them to the coachman Qin Yiran.

Qin Yiran looked at the four extra cents in his hand and glanced at Liu Yingyue, but he still didn't say anything and gave the money to Qin Xiuzhu.

Qin Xiuzhu happily put the money in her pocket. After walking for a while, another person wanted to take a ride, and Liu Yingyue took the initiative to solicit business and negotiate the price.

When she heard that she had to pay eight cents, the woman was not very happy.

But the two children around her, who were less than ten years old, kept making a lot of noise and wanted to take the bus instead of walking.

She wanted to take a car, but when she thought about the large number of people she was bringing and the large amount of money it would cost, she became hesitant.

So he bargained with Liu Yingyue, asking if it was ok to pay less.

"Auntie, you are still carrying a load, which takes up as much space as the person. There are also two children. According to other cart drivers, it would cost at least eight cents. Considering there are more of you, please give me seven cents."

Seeing that she had received less money and that the girl was pretty and spoke quickly, the woman smiled and said to Qin Yiran, "Your girl is really capable."

Qin Yiran frowned but still said nothing.

Yang Yongcui hurried on and the donkey cart finally caught up with them, and she just happened to hear these words.

She said loudly, "She is not Brother Qin's wife, Auntie, you misunderstood. They are just acquaintances in the village."

The woman laughed and said, "Hahaha, so you are not from the same family? Then I will be your matchmaker, okay?"

"There's no need for matchmaking. My brother and she have already been matched." Qin Xiuzhu, who had earned a lot of ride fares from Liu Yingyue, said hurriedly.

"Oh? You've arranged a matchmaking. Even if we're not a family now, we'll be a family in the future. No wonder she helped to negotiate the price. Look, she cares so much about her man. Brother, you've found a good wife who can make money and support the household." The woman laughed again and said.

The middle-aged man who was riding in the car in front of him also agreed and said that Liu Yingyue was a woman who knew how to manage the household.

Liu Yingyue listened to their praises, pursed her lips and said nothing, lowering her head as if she was shy.

Qin Yiran glanced at her sideways.

In the torchlight, the girl's cheeks were reflected as a delicate crabapple color, just like she was on her wedding night.

but……

Qin Yiran lowered his eyes, turned his head away, and still said nothing.

Liu Yingyue noticed from the corner of her eye that Qin Yiran had been secretly looking at her for a long time. When she looked over, his face looked stern again.

This man is still cold to her.
.
It is fifteen miles from the village to the market.

When it was just getting light, we arrived at the market street.

The passengers got off the bus one after another and went about their own business.

Qin Yiran took Qin Xiuzhu to sell game, and Liu Yingyue to sell embroidery.

These are two completely different directions.

Liu Yingyue rode her donkey and headed towards the east street.

Qin Xiuzhu was afraid that she had forgotten the appointment, so she looked at her back and reminded her, "Sister Yingyue, remember to find me at the cloth shop later."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute." Liu Yingyue turned around and waved at her, patted the donkey's back, and walked into the crowd.

Qin Yiran did not rush to drive the cart to West Street, but waited until Liu Yingyue's figure completely disappeared before driving the ox cart away.

Yang Yongcui asked him several questions, but he didn't hear any.

.

This is Liu Yingyue's first time to come to the market.

When she went out, her family members were worried about her going out alone, so Mrs. Liu arranged for other people to accompany her.

If her family goes out with her, how can she build a relationship with Qin Yiran?
