Chapter 109: Chapter 109: The foolish girl finally grows up!_1
The ox cart shook all the way, making its way up the winding mountain road.
The entrance to the village was soon in sight.
Quite a number of people were gathered along the mountain road and at the village entrance. Those who had been to the market were continuously returning home; upon seeing the ox cart approaching from behind, they moved aside to make way.
They curiously watched those sitting in the ox cart.
Once they entered the village, the mountain path further ahead was exceptionally rugged, making it impossible for the ox cart to move forward. Everyone had to get off the cart and carry the furniture to Su Pan’er’s new home.
Some recognized Qin Yi and called out loudly.
"Isn’t that Qin’s third kid! Riding in an ox cart? Oh! He’s bought so much old furniture... where did you strike it rich?"
Qin Yi, who was also helping carry a parcel, quickly responded, "It’s Eighth Uncle! I’m just hitching a ride, nothing special! Nothing special!"
"I see..."
The man wanted to say more, but Qin Yi did not give him a chance.
"Eighth Uncle, I should deliver these things home first, they’re quite heavy."
"Alright, alright, you go do what you need to do."
As Eighth Uncle unsurprisingly didn’t insist on staying, watching Qin Yi’s figure become smaller in the distance, he couldn’t help but gasp.
"Strange, wasn’t it said that Qin’s third kid was seriously ill, on the brink of death? Hence, he married the foolish girl from the Su family to counter his bad luck. But now, he seems just fine, and even bought so much old furniture."
"Didn’t Seventh Uncle from Lower River Village give a lot of food earlier? It’s clear that Qin Yi bought those. This kid, he really struck it rich..."
"Perhaps, it’s the dowry of that foolish girl from the Su family? Although that foolish girl is silly, she is quite capable! It’s really..."
The discussions among the villagers were quickly left behind by Qin Yi.
Su Pan’er paid no attention to them and carried the big bed towards her house.
At the entrance of their new home.
Mrs. Su-Hua greeted them with a grin, her eyes squinted into a line: "Pan’er, Qin Yi, you’re back? A while ago someone brought a lot of food, you..."
"Mother, let’s go inside and talk."
Su Pan’er interrupted her.
"Oh, my memory! Hurry up and move this bed inside. Be careful, don’t strain your back... "
Mrs. Su-Hua said excitedly. Seeing these pieces of furniture, she finally felt a weight lifted off her heart.
Su Pan’er had already picked a spot for the big bed, placed it against the wall, and then arranged the other pieces of furniture in suitable spots. The originally empty house immediately transformed.
Satisfied, Su Pan’er clapped her hands, a smile involuntarily spread across her face.
Now it feels like a home!
The four people who had come to help timidly approached, their faces plastered with flattering smiles: "Miss Su, now that all the work is done, we..."
Su Pan’er naturally did not ask them to stay.
"Oh! Then you can leave. Please note my thanks to your Master Lv."
"Yes, yes, yes, we will certainly pass along the message."
As if pardoned, the four of them quickly left.
Ke’er who had been recovering from injuries in another room hobbled over, exclaiming excitedly, "Fourth sister, Fourth sister! So much rice, so much flour! Ke’er wants to eat white rice, and white flour buns! And sleep on the big new bed!"
"Good! Tonight, Mother will cook white rice and steam white flour buns for Ke’er. You can sleep on the new bed, okay?"
Su Pan’er agreed fondly, tapping Ke’er’s forehead.
"Ke’er, don’t be silly! This new bed is for your fourth sister and your brother-in-law."
Mrs. Su-Hua came in carrying a basin of water and heard this, she gave Ke’er a sideways glance: "How old are you and still so immature? What did I teach you? Rice and flour are too precious, we can’t just eat rice and flour!"
Su Ke hung his head in disappointment.
These are just usual food items, aren’t they?
"It’s just some rice and flour, we’ll eat it tonight! Ke’er’s leg injury requires good food for recovery."
Su Pan’er quickly took out the specifically reserved rice cake from her bosom, stuffing it into Ke’er’s hand: "Here, eat this! I bought this when I went to town today. Make sure to share some with dad and mom. Off you go!"
Su Ke’s eyes lit up in an instant!
"Thank you, Fourth Sister! Fourth Sister, you’re the kindest to Ke’er!"
"Silly boy! You’re the only younger brother I have. Who else should I cherish if not you? Better go home and rest to heal your injuries!"
Su Pan’er rubbed his head, smilingly giving instructions.
"Pan’er, don’t spoil him. To live a life, we should live it properly!"
Mrs. Su-Hua said in a heartfelt manner.
She casually wrung the cleaning cloth dry and began carefully wiping the furniture, her hand movement especially gentle. She was afraid of using too much force and damaging the furniture.
Su Pan’er strongly disagreed!
Does living a life mean eating mixed grain porridge with wild vegetables every day?
"Mother! Just relax and eat! If I can’t even afford food, then what else is there to talk about? I don’t mind telling you, those herbs I’ve sold for a good price. Even if we eat rice and white flour buns every meal every day, it will be enough for three to five years!"
"That much? Pan’er, are you joking? The medicinal ingredients you brought this morning, are they really that valuable?"
Mrs. Su-Hua’s face was full of surprise.
"Absolutely! Mother, let me tell you, I met a big buyer today, he..."
Su Pan’er quickly informed Mrs. Su-Hua about Old Xue buying her medicinal ingredients.
Mrs. Su-Hua listened in amazement, even pausing her furniture cleaning.
"Amitabha Buddha! Lord Buddha bless, it’s good that you encountered a kind-hearted person. Otherwise, what could we have done? Pan’er, you must get along well with this Old Xue, understand?"
"I know, mother, you can rest assured."
Su Pan’er smiled, she had already given Old Xue plenty of game too! Thinking of this, she took out twenty taels of silver from her bosom and quietly handed them to Mrs. Su-Hua.
"Mother, this is for you!"
"What is it? Oh! Where did it come from? It’s so much! No, no..."
Mrs. Su-Hua jumped in surprise when she saw it!
She had never seen so much silver in her life, and she quickly refused.
"Mother, please take it! If not for yourself, then think of Ke’er. We must nourish his injured leg properly. Also, he’s gradually getting old, and in the future, there will be marriage proposals, engagement and wedding expenses. Right?"
Su Pan’er stuffed it back into her hands.
At these words, Mrs. Su-Hua couldn’t refuse it anymore, so she accepted the silver. Her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Su Pan’er.
"My foolish girl has finally grown up!"
Meanwhile, Qin Yi was also talking to Su Lao Si about Pan’er’s sales of medicinal ingredients.
Laughing heartily, Su Lao Si couldn’t contain his joy, "My foolish girl, she sure is stupid, but they say fortune favors the fool! Qin Yi, don’t underestimate my foolish girl for her naivety. She has great strength. Coupled with her current skills, you can recover from your illness at home and aim to get well sooner."
Su Lao Si was thinking more long-term.
Now that their foolish girl had some silver in her hands, they naturally didn’t have to worry about their food and drink. But Qin Yi’s sickness... was like an arrow hanging above their heads, with no idea when it would fall.
Hearing his father-in-law’s words, Qin Yi realized, he hadn’t told the two elders about the improvement in his health yet.
He quickly smiled, "Father-in-law, don’t worry. My health is being looked after by Pan’er, it should improve quite soon."
"I hope so."
Su Lao Si thought he was just being polite, so he casually nodded.
Qin Yi wanted to say more, thought for a moment, but in the end didn’t speak.
Having carefully wiped all the furniture, Mrs. Su-Hua finally smiled contentedly: "You have a good eye. Although this set of furniture has been sitting around for some time, it’s still new. Even at three taels of silver for a set, it’s really overpriced."
Mrs. Su-Hua was especially impressed.
If she knew the actual price of this set of furniture, she certainly wouldn’t think it was expensive!
