59 Chapter 59: Curiosity Piqued

She had heard of this thing called martial arts when she was listening to stories in the teahouse in town.

She thought that the storyteller had made it up, but it turned out to be true!

Her Sister Sanya actually knew martial arts!

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned momentarily.

!!

She hadn’t even made up a story yet, but this girl had already thought of one for her.

Then, Qin Xiaoyao simply nodded.

“I’ve cultivated my internal force for a few years and have attained some small achievements!” she said somewhat proudly.

Hearing the word ‘internal force’, Big Girl Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao with even more admiration.

“Sister Sanya, can you… can you teach me?” she said excitedly.

A martial arts expert! The kind who could easily beat people up and dish out chivalrous justice!

Qin Xiaoyao’s face froze, and she frowned at Big Girl Li.

“Not everyone can cultivate internal force. Your aptitude is too poor. You won’t be able to master it even if you practice it,” she said.

Big Girl Li’s expression immediately became crestfallen.

Qin Xiaoyao patted Big Girl Li’s shoulder when she saw her expression.

“But you don’t have to be disappointed. Now that you’re with me, no one can bully you with me around.”

When Big Girl Li heard this, she cheered up instantly.

“Yes! Sister Sanya is mighty!” she quickly flattered Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao felt very important on hearing that.

“We’re not going into town tomorrow. It’s not worth it to make a special trip for these two hares. We’ll keep the wild hares for our own consumption,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

After some thought, Qin Xiaoyao decided to hand the smaller hare to Big Girl Li.

“Mine is a little bigger, so one is enough. This little one is for you to take home to satisfy your cravings.”

Big Girl Li’s eyes lit up, but she didn’t take it.

“No, I can’t take it. I didn’t put in any effort in killing these hares, so these two hares are yours.”

“We’ve agreed before that even blood sisters should settle accounts clearly. I can’t take it for free,” Big Girl Li said.

Seeing Qin Xiaoyao’s surprised expression, Big Girl Li smiled mischievously again.

“But I can buy it with money.” She patted her wallet as she spoke.

“Hunter Huang would sell the prey he hunted to the villagers when it was inconvenient for him to go to town. If it’s a wild hare, he will sell the hare for ten copper coins per catty if he gets to keep the hare skin.”

As the price was low, the villagers were actually quite happy to buy the prey from Hunter Huang’s family.

After all, it was more worthwhile than going to town to buy meat.

“Sister Sanya, if you’re willing, I’ll buy it from you at the same price.” Big Girl Li said.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

Thinking about how Hunter Huang sold his prey in the village, she felt that it was a good idea to sell some small prey to the villagers as well.

In particular, she could sell small prey like hares to the villagers at a low price, leaving the skin behind.

After that, she could go to town to sell the hare skins, which was not a loss to her.

She thought about it and nodded.

“Alright!”

As she spoke, she weighed the hare in her hand.

“I estimate it to be two and a half catties. Just give me 25 copper coins will do. When we get back, I’ll skin it and give you the meat and bones,” she said.

“Deal!” Big Girl Li quickly agreed.

She immediately counted 25 copper coins and gave them to Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the money.

After that, she continued to work with Big Girl Li.

As the two of them were very energetic, they eventually finished checking the area that they had divided ahead of time.

Engrossed with thoughts of eating hare meat, the two didn’t stay on the mountain for long after they finished their work. They returned to the Song family with more than 50 catties of Chinese yams.

When Madam Liu saw that her daughter-in-law had brought back wild hares, she was both surprised and happy.

When she learned that her daughter-in-law wanted to keep a wild hare for their own consumption, she muttered a few words but still agreed.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li proceed to weigh the Chinese yams and skin the hares.

At night, Qin Xiaoyao came out of the bathroom and found that it was raining.

After tidying up a little, she quickly returned to her room.

As she lay down, she thought to herself that it was fortunate that her father and eldest brother had come to help fix the roof a few days ago.

Otherwise, she was genuinely worried that the roof would leak.

Sigh! It was really not safe to live in a thatched hut.

If only she could build a brick house when she had enough money…

Cough! At this moment, a familiar coughing sound came from beside her.

...

It pulled Qin Xiaoyao back to reality.

“What’s the matter, Hubby?” Qin Xiaoyao asked without moving.

As she did not have to turn around to look at Song Que, she was not as nervous this time.

Song Que furrowed his brows slightly when he saw that Qin Xiaoyao didn’t move even though she was talking to him.

Then, he calmed himself down and asked Qin Xiaoyao, “Did you learn how to write?”

Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.

“When I was young, my father sent me to the Academy for two years, and I learned some words. What’s wrong?” she replied.

Why was he asking this? Could it be that he saw her accounts ledger?

Haha! So what if he saw it?

Anyway, their place was only this big, so there was no way for her to hide it.

As for being found out or whatever, she didn’t care either.

...

She had inherited her predecessor’s memories, and in a sense, she was now Qin Sanya.

She was just a Qin Sanya who had become smarter and more powerful.

Song Que’s eyes shifted.

How did she manage to write so neatly after only two years in the Academy? Was that even possible?

If it were him, with his father’s guidance and his own hard work, it would be possible.

However, in the Qin family, butcher Qin didn’t have Father Song’s ability.

And the writing style and form of those characters…

Qin Xiaoyao carefully observed the movements of the person behind her. She didn’t hear Song Que speak for a long time and was prepared to close her eyes and sleep.

“Did you come up with the story of the ugly duckling and Ma Liang’s magic brush?” At this moment, she heard Song Que’s voice from behind her again.

Qin Xiaoyao was caught by surprise.

“Oh, I heard about them from someone else,” she responded.

Once, she had felt bored, so she told Ye’er a few fairy tales.

Not only did Ye’er listen to them, but Yun’er and her mother-in-law also listened to them.

The three listeners all liked the stories and kept pestering her to tell more.

From the looks of it, after little Song Ye heard the story, he must have told her attractive husband.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was beating with joy.

She wasn’t worried about being exposed at all. In fact, she even looked forward to seeing if her attractive husband would change his opinion of her after hearing those stories.

Her predecessor, Qin Sanya, was indeed illiterate. She had already returned the things she had learned in the Academy to her teacher.

However, Qin Xiaoyao was different. In her previous life, she had at least managed to get into university.

However, she only attended two years before the apocalypse happened. After that, she had been making a living in the apocalyptic world, but she was still considered an intellectual, wasn’t she?

She was a perfect match for her attractive husband, a talented man!

Thinking of this, her heart felt very sweet all over.

“Oh? Who did you hear it from?” Song Que continued to ask.

“There… there’s a teacher who came to study in town. The teacher was wise and understood many things. He told many interesting stories. I’ve memorized some of it,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

Hah! Her attractive husband was a little talkative tonight…

It was a good sign.

“Oh, really? What other stories have you heard?” Song Que asked again.

When Qin Xiaoyao heard this, she wasn’t alarmed. Instead, she was quite happy.

“Do you want to listen, Hubby? If you want to listen, I’ll tell you a long one,” she said.

She had been worried about how to talk more with her attractive husband and nurture their feelings.

Much to her surprise, the opportunity had come so quickly.
