The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

98 Chapter 98: Moving In The Summer

Big Girl Li was already frozen with shock.

“2… 200 over taels?” she asked in disbelief.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Big Girl Li.

“I don’t know. In any case, the budget was 250 taels. Hubby wants to buy a courtyard dwelling on the street next to my father’s place or one street away.”

!!

Her father’s house was very close to the area of illegally constructed buildings, so the price was naturally much lower.

Her husband was a scholar, so it was natural for him to be a little more particular.

Moreover, she was also agreeable to living further away from the area of illegally constructed buildings.

This way, the environment would be quieter, and the security would be better.

Big Girl Li sighed.

Then, she began to feel envious.

Immediately after that, she turned to Qin Xiaoyao and asked nervously, “Then, are you going back to the village in the future?”

It was a good thing that Sister Sanya’s family was going to town to buy a courtyard dwelling, but if Sister Sanya left, what would she do?

Without Sister Sanya, she couldn’t seem to do anything!

Big Girl Li suddenly became anxious, so much so that tears almost fell.

She was afraid that Qin Xiaoyao would abandon her.

“Of course, I’m going back! I have to rely on the village to earn money. What should I do if I don’t go back?” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Seeing that Big Girl Li was about to burst into tears, she felt very touched inwardly.

Then, she reached out and patted Big Girl Li’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry. Even if I really live in the town in the future, I’ll settle the arrangements for the village in advance.”

Big Girl Li’s expression became more relaxed, and she looked at Qin Xiaoyao piteously.

“It’s a pity our family can’t buy a courtyard dwelling in town,” she said dejectedly.

Although she had been earning money very quickly recently, she still felt it would be very difficult for her to save up more than 200 taels of silver.

Moreover, even if they did save enough money, her mother-in-law and the others would probably not agree to move the whole family to town.

After all, land was the most important thing to country folks.

Qin Xiaoyao patted Big Girl Li’s shoulder again.

“It’s fine. You can come to town to visit me in the future. Besides, my house in the village won’t be demolished. It’s not like I’m not coming back.”

“Okay.” Only then did Big Girl Li answer helplessly.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled at her.

“Let’s go! Start working!”

Perhaps she thought that Qin Xiaoyao might leave, so when Big Girl Li was digging the bamboo shoots later, she only buried herself in her work and didn’t say much.

Qin Xiaoyao was busy for a while before she went off to hunt bamboo rats, so she didn’t pay much attention to Big Girl Li.

After returning home, the two of them went to the river to clear the fishing net. Then, Big Girl Li proceeded to process the bamboo rat meat.

Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, went to look for Song Que before the sky turned dark. She asked him to help draw up a price list of the goods for Liu Daniu to purchase.

Qin Xiaoyao gave the oral account while Song Que did the recording.

Of course, Song Que also gave his own opinions when he was recording.

After hearing some of Qin Xiaoyao’s arrangements, Song Que’s admiration for her increased.

“We’ll have to move to town in the future. Have you thought about what to do at that point? “Song Que suddenly said to Qin Xiaoyao after he was done with the price list.

Qin Xiaoyao was caught off guard.

“Well… we haven’t bought the courtyard dwelling yet,” she responded.

Everything had happened so suddenly, so how could she have time to plan?

“It’ll be very fast when the books are sold,” Song Que said indifferently.

“We’ll talk about it after we’ve bought the courtyard dwelling. Besides, we can’t live there immediately after buying it. We’ll have to spend money to tidy it up and buy many things.” At that point, they would have to spend money on many areas.

Song Que nodded in agreement.

Then, he said unexpectedly, “Once we’ve bought the courtyard dwelling, we can clean it up first. We can then move into town at the beginning of summer.”

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

Beginning of summer?

It was only late April now, and the day after tomorrow was May 1st. Summer only started in June.

Wouldn’t they have to wait for a month to move if they waited until summer?

Since her attractive husband was in such a hurry to buy a courtyard dwelling in town, she thought he was in a big hurry.

“Alright!” Qin Xiaoyao quickly answered.

A month should be enough for her to settle the matters in the village and come up with a new plan.

“By the way, with regard to Mother and the others, do we really…” Qin Xiaoyao thought of something and looked at Song Que again.

Song Que waved his hand.

“Let’s keep it a secret for now. We’ll tell them when we buy the courtyard dwelling.”

...

With his mother’s personality, she would not agree to him buying a courtyard dwelling.

Even if she couldn’t stop him, she would be anxious for several days.

He might as well wait for the dust to settle before telling her.

This would save her a lot of worries.

“Okay,” Qin Xiaoyao answered.

She didn’t like to make such a big decision behind her family’s back.

However, her husband was the one who paid for it, and she was only going to hide it for a while, so she decided to do as her husband said.

After going through the price list with Song Que, Qin Xiaoyao took the list and went to look for Big Girl Li.

Since the price list was completed in advance, there was no need to wait until tomorrow.

Just as Big Girl Li finished processing the bamboo rat meat and was returning to the Song family’s house, she saw Qin Xiaoyao walking out of the courtyard.

“The list is out. Take it back to Daniu. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me. ”

...

“Just leave these things to me. You send the list back now. Tomorrow morning, Daniu and brother can set off from home directly.” As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she looked at the stuff in Big Girl Li’s hands.

“Okay!” Big Girl Li quickly answered.

After handing the items to Qin Xiaoyao, she left quickly.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao move the bamboo rat skins and the processed bamboo rat meat into the courtyard.

When it was almost time for dinner, Liu Daniu and Big Girl Li came to visit.

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the list, but he was here to get the egg trays.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao remember that she had forgotten to hand over the egg trays.

She hurriedly went to get Liu Daniu the many egg trays she had prepared beforehand.

The couple marveled at the egg tray’s effectiveness before leaving.

The next day, Big Girl Li pushed a handcart with half a backpack of Chinese Toon shoots and reported for work.

After the two of them went to the river to clear the fishing net, they placed the goods they had prepared in advance on the handcart before setting off for town.

“Before Daniu brings back all the woven bamboo utensils, there’s no need to set up a stall every day as I don’t have many pairs of straw sandals at home.”

“I didn’t bring any straw sandals today either, so you can just follow me to deliver the goods.”

“It’s just nice. Today is our first time delivering goods to Fortune Restaurant. You can also familiarize yourself with the route,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Daniu hadn’t gone out to collect the goods yet. Some of the goods on these two handcarts were collected by her and Big Girl Li, while the rest were collected from the villagers. It could basically satisfy all the orders from the Mansion and Restaurant.

“Okay!” Big Girl Li answered.

“I don’t have any plans today anyway. After delivering the goods, you can go back first if there’s nothing else. I have to go and look for my father.”

Big Girl Li immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“It’s… the matter about buying the courtyard dwelling?” she asked.

Last night, she had told her Daniu about this. She even expressed her desire to buy a courtyard dwelling in town.

However, she didn’t get any support from her man.

Therefore, there was a high probability that she would not be able to live in town.

“Yes,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

“Hubby said to look around first. If there is a suitable one, we will buy it and then slowly tidy it up and plan the layout. It’ll be fine as long as we can move in at the beginning of summer.”

“You’re moving at the beginning of summer?” In contrast to Qin Xiaoyao’s happiness, Big Girl Li was a little depressed.
