C8 Tell Him the Truth
That's ridiculous!
However, he said those words with an arrogant expression. Su Yan resisted the urge to slap the lid on his face and put the chopsticks back into the house.
At night, after Qin Shiling came back to eat, Su Yan decided to have a talk with Qin Shiling. It was almost dark and she lit a candle in the yard to tell him clearly.
"I will not have children with you, but I can help you make money. When the time comes, there will be many wives and concubines. You can have as many children as you want." Su Yan said seriously to Qin Shiling.
Chenxi needed the precious things like ginseng and purple ganoderma in order to send her back. Before that, she had to earn money to buy those things. At the same time, she had to help Qin Shiling escape poverty and become rich.
Su Yan looked at the corners of Qin Shiling's face that were illuminated by the fire. His expressionless face showed some seriousness. She had a special feeling about him in her heart.
Qin Shiling was silent for a long time. His dark eyes stared at her, and there was some seriousness in them.
Su Yan felt a little weak in her heart. Her condition did seem like she was talking big. Qin Shiling did not understand her. He rented her out from the pawnshop to give birth.
If he agreed, he would be like a fool. Although she thought so, she could not help but hope that he would agree.
The fire in his black eyes flickered and said, "You don't like me."
His voice was low and did not rise or fall when he spoke. Under the shine of the crooked fire, it revealed a sense of loneliness and Su Yan's heart immediately tensed up.
He looked like a hateful child.
"Sorry, I am very grateful to you, but I do not belong here. Sooner or later, I will think of a way to leave." Before she knew it, she had already said the words in her heart.
Qin Shiling suddenly walked to her side and grabbed her wrist. His eyes were deep. "Where did you come from?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment before saying, "I used to be the young miss of a big family, but my father died of illness for a long time. Then my uncle took away my family's property and chased me and my brother out of the house. I suspect that they were the ones who caused my father's death. I can't let my father die in vain. "
She made up an excuse, but cold sweat broke out on her back. She stared at Qin Shiling, not daring to blink, afraid that he would see that she was lying.
She had almost exposed the fact that she had transmigrated. If the people here were superstitious, she might even be burned to death.
Qin Shiling took a deep look at her and did not comment. He stood up and walked into the house.
Did he agree or not?
Su Yan sat in the yard for a while and looked hesitantly at the two doors on the left and right. She did not know which room to enter.
"You have squeezed into me, fat woman!"
"Fat your head, you will not turn back into your original form!"
"This is my bed!"
"You can only rely on this bed that I have! "
In the morning, Su Yan walked out of the room in the morning with two dark circles under her eyes. Qin Shiling had already carried the bow out. Since she had decided to make money, she had a plan to let Qin Shiling see the results.
Now, the income of the family depended entirely on Qin Shiling hunting, and he would marinate a lot of meat every time. He would only eat it in the winter. Rice and vegetables rarely went to the market to buy. He would use the meat to exchange with his fellow villagers. Those people were also very willing to exchange with them.
According to what she knew, the Qin Family had farmland. However, after Father Qin passed away, no one knew how to farm, so they rented it to the other people in the village.
However, Qin Shiling had never accepted rent.
Su Yan rummaged through the only cabinet in Qin Shiling's room and found a few yellowed land deeds. However, after looking through them for a while, her expression changed.
The location of the land on the land deed was clear, but there was a big hole in the place where the land belonged, as if it had been bitten by a mouse.
This damn mouse, what was wrong with biting! Su Yan gritted her teeth, but she still took the deed to find the land.
The person who rented the land was Widow Lee's family's lower class, Tong Xiucai's family. The scholar had already gone to the county to teach, and his parents were still at home farming.
This old couple in their sixties stared straight at Su Yan, "Do you want land? Do you want a life? Take this old life of mine!"
"But this land deed clearly belongs to the Qin Family. All these years, you have not paid the rent. We also need to eat." Su Yan argued with all her might.
Old Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at the land deed in Su Yan's hands. Suddenly, he smiled. "Look at your broken paper. Who said that this land belongs to Qin Family? Little girl, you still want to cheat me of this land? No way! "
Su Yan talked to them for a long time but did not make sense of them. That old woman Tong instead used the pole to dry her clothes to hit Su Yan. Su Yan was shocked and jumped out of the Tong family's house with a face full of dirt.
Following the heavy door of the Tong family, she took the land deed and went to the village chief's house. She went there for a long time but still did not get back the land.
Because the village chief said, "Qin Family has not been farming for many years. If it was not for the Elementary Scholars, this land would have been abandoned long ago. Furthermore, your land deed is also rotten. This land of yours is invalid. This land will belong to the Elementary Scholars!"
Su Yan angrily took the land deed and went home. The sky was already dark. She had been locked in the door for a day and the Tong family refused to return the land. The village chief also said that it was a twisted logic. He was simply bullying her that she was a woman.
When they were eating, she slapped the land deed in front of Qin Shiling and said, "If we get the land back, we can get an extra income. We must get it back tomorrow!"
Qin Shiling looked at her and only nodded.
Chenxi raised her eyebrows and asked her, "Who will plant the land when it's back?"
Su Yan thought for a while and said, "Qin Shiling is going to hunt. This is the main income. Farming can only be considered as subsidizing household use for the time being."
"You will go alone?" Chenxi asked.
Qin Shiling frowned and said, "This kind of thing should be done by men." Then he stared at Chenxi.
Chenxi put down the bowl in her hand as if she was facing a great enemy. She could not say anything about her refusal in Qin Shiling's serious eyes.
She ate his soft lips.
Su Yan looked at Qin Shiling gratefully. Anyway, she could not order this guy around.
The next day, Chenxi lazily did not go out. Su Yan went with Qin Shiling to ask for farmland again.
This time, when the old couple saw Qin Shiling, they were finally not as arrogant as yesterday. Instead, they started to pretend.
"That scholar son of mine isn't having a good time in the city either. He hasn't married yet, so as parents, we have to help him. There are several acres of land to subsidize. If you take this land back, our family can only slam our heads into the wall and die!" Old lady Tong cried as she spoke.
Old Tong supported his wife with snot and tears. "Yeah, you want land. Why don't you shoot that hunting bow of yours and shoot us to death with an arrow!"
Instantly, the courtyard was filled with cries. Su Yan watched with her mouth agape.
To be honest, this was the first time she had encountered such a shameless person. Their actions had refreshed her understanding.
