The Valiant Farmgirl’s Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

127 Chapter 127: Qin Dazhuang Refused To Sell That Much Pork

After breakfast, Qin Xiaoyao supported Song Que as he took a walk in the courtyard.

“Aren’t you going to file that girl’s indenture with the government office?” After walking for a while, Song Que finally lowered his voice and asked.

He only found out about this when he was having breakfast.

This woman actually intended to use the girl she bought as a long-term worker.

Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at Song Que. “No,” she responded.

“Why?” Song Que asked with a frown.

“I’m not used to it,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

“It’s not just me who’s not used to it. Mother and Yun’er are not used to it either,” she explained when she saw that Song Que was not happy.

“It’s fine if it’s someone whom we bought directly from outside. I wouldn’t know that person then.”

“But Xiaomei used to be from the same village as us, and she even knew Yun’er and Ye’er since they were young. The two children used to address her as ‘Elder Sister,’ yet now they are being addressed as ‘Young Miss’ and ‘Young Master’ by Xiaomei. It’s no wonder they are not used to it.”

Seeing Song Que’s silence, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Besides, none of the people who live in our alley have a servant.”

“Xiaomei is living under the same roof as us. If people find out that she is a servant and is from the same village as us, at that time, not only would outsiders look down on Xiaomei, but they would also look at us strangely. I think… it’s better for us not to show off like that.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Song Que.

This last sentence finally moved Song Que.

It was indeed better for their family to keep a low profile. Otherwise, they would become targets more easily during the civil unrest.

“How about the Wang family…” Song Que finally relented and asked.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at her attractive husband and knew what he was worried about.

“I’ve already spoken to Xiaomei. We won’t change our stance as far as the Wang family is concerned.”

“When the time comes, if Wang Dashan can’t produce the money to redeem her, we’ll just take it that Wang Xiaomei has become a slave. From then on, she’s not allowed to have any contact with the rest of the Wang family except for Wang Dashan.”

Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Oh, even for Wang Dashan, we will minimize her contact with him,” Qin Xiaoyao added.

As for the other members of the Wang family, Wang Xiaomei didn’t want to see them.

Therefore, when Qin Xiaoyao made this request, Wang Xiaomei agreed without hesitation.

However, Wang Dashan’s significance to Wang Xiaomei was different. These two siblings had a good relationship.

If she were to forcefully stop Wang Xiaomei from seeing Wang Dashan, she would be too uncompassionate.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao still didn’t know that because of her good deed today, she would reap a great reward from Wang Xiaomei in the future.

When she had gone to the faraway border to look for Song Que, it was Wang Xiaomei who helped her support the Song family, patiently awaiting Qin Xiaoyao’s return.

All this would come much later.

After hearing Qin Xiaoyao’s words, although Song Que was frowning, he eventually agreed to this matter.

Thus, Wang Xiaomei turned into a relative and long-term worker of the Song family in the eyes of the neighbors in the alley.

After a while, Big Girl Li arrived with Liu Erniu in tow.

Qin Xiaoyao helped Song Que to sit down on a stone bench before she went to sort out the goods.

Thereafter, she went out with Big Girl Li.

She went to make deliveries to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant while Big Girl Li went to the market on South Street to set up her stall.

After Qin Xiaoyao left, Song Que called Song Yun and Song Ye to his room for lessons.

Madam Liu brought Wang Xiaomei along to do some shopping.

Her daughter-in-law had cleared the land in the courtyard. She had to buy some seedlings and plant them on the empty land.

In addition, although they could keep some of the farm vegetables that Big Girl Li brought, they still had to buy some other vegetables from the market.

Furthermore, her daughter-in-law had told her to go and look for the in-laws again.

She was to order two pigs for making smoked meat and 200 catties of lard.

Although she felt that her daughter-in-law was buying too much, her son nearby also agreed, so she did not object.

After all, her daughter-in-law said that there were discounts if they bought more. Moreover, they were giving business to the in-laws.

At the market on West Street.

When Qin Dazhuang heard Madam Liu’s words, he was utterly shocked.

“You want… two pigs, plus 200 catties of lard?” he stammered at Madam Liu.

“Yes. Sanya and Que’er both like to eat smoked meat. Furthermore, the lard won’t go bad after refining, so we can keep it and eat it slowly.”

“With Xiaomei helping me now, I have free time and can do this!”

Now that her daughter-in-law didn’t allow her to make straw sandals and she didn’t go to the embroidery workshop to take on embroidery work, she could busy herself with some household chores.

Furthermore, with Xiaomei helping her, she had more energy to do things.

“But isn’t… this too much?” Qin Dazhuang felt that his daughter must be fooling around.

Furthermore, as her mother-in-law, not only did Madam Liu not stop her, but she also allowed her to do as she pleased.

However, as her father, he couldn’t just watch his daughter ruin the Song family.

“It is a little too much. So, there’s no hurry.”

As Madam Liu spoke, she took out five taels of silver from her purse.

“This is the deposit. As for the outstanding amount, I’ll top up when Father Qin sends meat to our home,” she said.

Qin Dazhuang looked at the silver in Madam Liu’s hand and did not reach out to take it.

“Gosh! Forget about the deposit! Don’t worry about this. When I see Sanya, I’ll talk to her first.”

“There are only a few people in your family, so there’s no need to buy so much meat and lard. It’s still better to eat fresh meat.”

Madam Liu thought about it and felt that Qin Dazhuang’s words made sense.

“Then don’t worry about the pork first, but we still need the lard. I don’t have anything to do at home, so it’s good for me to fry and save up the oil.” As she spoke, she handed over the silver again.

Her daughter-in-law made her come here. If she went back empty-handed, would her daughter-in-law think she couldn’t be bothered to do as she had instructed?

She was free now anyway, so it was just nice to have Xiaomei help her fry some oil.

She would take advantage of this time to fry more. After that, there would be no need to prepare oil at home for a long time.

Qin Dazhuang frowned.

He still rejected the silver.

“Even 200 catties of lard won’t cost that much.”

“Forget about the deposit. I’ll keep the lard for these two days for your family. I’ll send the lard to you later, and at that point, I’ll collect the money,” Qin Dazhuang said.

It would be just nice since he had to look for his daughter and talk to her.

Their days had just gotten better. How could they live like this?

“Er… Alright then.” Madam Liu finally agreed.

After that, she bought two more chunks of pig liver from Qin Dazhuang before leaving.

On the other side, Qin Xiaoyao had already handed over the goods and taken the money, and was pushing the handcart back.

As soon as Madam Liu and Wang Xiaomei arrived home, Qin Xiaoyao entered the courtyard soon after.

Qin Xiaoyao gave her approval when she learned that Madam Liu had bought some seedlings and would plant them with Wang Xiaomei later.

However, when she heard that her father had refused to sell her so much pork and lard and even wanted to see her, Qin Xiaoyao became a little glum.

“I know, Mother. I’ll go to the market on West Street now and talk to my father.”

“We still have to buy the meat and lard. Since Father doesn’t accept a down payment, you can pay him when he brings you the meat later,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

She had already promised her attractive husband that she would buy pork and lard, so she had to get this done.

“Alright!” Madam Liu agreed.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao set off.

She headed straight for the market on West Street.

In the end, the moment she saw Qin Dazhuang, she received a severe scolding.

Qin Xiaoyao stood listening and didn’t reply for a long time.
