Chapter 23: Chapter 23: A Smooth Over-the-Shoulder Throw_1

She squinted closely and didn’t find anything like medicine powder on the envelope, so she slowly picked it up.

The envelope wasn’t sealed, and she felt a thick wodge of paper as soon as she took it. She casually pulled the paper out, her eyes met with a gold-lacquered silver note, and on further scrutiny, it turned out to be a silver note with a denomination of twenty taels.

She quickly counted, turned out to be a hundred taels of silver, and another letter was also there.

Where did a crude rural doctor get a hundred taels of silver? One should know that at this time, a tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for a year. A hundred taels of silver, it’s simply astronomical!

Su Pan’er picked up the letter casually, and only read a few lines, a flurry of sparkles flared up in her eyes!

Well!

This old rascal must have eaten bear heart and leopard gall! He dared to...

There was a sudden step outside the door, Su Pan’er frowned slightly, hastily shoved the letter away and tucked it into her bosom, and threw the neatly arranged medicine box on the table.

Just as she turned around, Qin Yi came in with a smile on his face.

Su Pan’er turned around to look at him, and unconsciously felt strange. So happy, did he find gold?

"Pan’er, my father specifically asked me to invite you for dinner in the alley. He seemed very pleased today because of you." Qin Yi smiled thinking about his father’s unusual pleasant demeanor.

"Invite me? Are you sure?"

Su Pan’er raised her eyebrow, her scrutinizing gaze swept over Qin Yi’s body: "It’s really strange, he actually invited me over? Are you sure it’s the old man who invited me for dinner, not the old women inviting me to be scolded?"

"...What are you saying? Hurry up and get ready, the kitchen is cooking fish, and there are several respected elders from the village there, a good opportunity for you to meet them." Pan’er just joined the family yesterday and hadn’t met everyone yet, it was a good chance to introduce her.

"Huh! Who cares? I am not going!" Pan’er turned around and started tidying the bed.

She caught the fish that they were cooking, and she had no interest in those elders, it’s better to stay in the room and sleep.

"Don’t be stubborn! So many elders are waiting for you, and my father specifically instructed that you must be there, otherwise dinner will not be served." Qin Yi playfully reached out to pat Su Pan’er on the shoulder.

Just as he was about to make contact with her shoulder, Su Pan’er instinctively grabbed his hand, flipped and pulled, swung him out with a shoulder flip!

Qin Yi was shocked! But he couldn’t control his body’s momentum. Just when Qin Yi was about to fall, Su Pan’er suddenly realized the situation and reactively hooked her foot to halt his fall, reducing the force with which he fell to the ground.

Nevertheless, Qin Yi was still winded by the fall, and he turned around in anger and demanded: "Ahem—Su Pan’er, are you trying to kill your husband?"

Su Pan’er crossed her arms in front of her chest, rubbed her nose, and showed a fleeting apology in her eyes, yet she calmly replied: "Sorry! It was a reflex, I just don’t like people touching my body, are you alright?"

Years of practicing ancient martial arts had cultivated this habit, and it wasn’t something that you could change just by wanting to. The moment Qin Yi patted her shoulder, her instinct was to use a shoulder flip, it was only while throwing him that she realized and managed to help him.

Otherwise, he would have suffered serious injuries or broken bones.

"You dare ask if I’m okay? Ahem, ahem..."

Qin Yi responded angrily, he turned his head to one side with a huff, making a fuss like a petulant child!

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but laugh in her heart, touched her nose, and stretched out her hand as if extending a handshake: "Don’t get angry, anger harms the body, it’s bad for your illness. Come, let me help you up."

"Who needs your help. Humph!"

Qin Yi huffed heavily, he pushed away Su Pan’er’s hand.

Give a slap then a sweet date, is he treating him like a three-year-old child?

Stubbornly, he picked himself up from the ground, with dust all over his face. A complex look flashed in his eyes: "Are you going to eat or not?"

"I will! Why wouldn’t I?"

Su Pan’er initially didn’t plan to go, but seeing Qin Yi like this, she inexplicably agreed. Regret flashed in her eyes as soon as the words left her mouth. When did she become so unprincipled?

Today Old Hu fell ill at the Qin family home, but was saved by Su Pan’er. This greatly enhanced Old Qin’s reputation in the village. In his moment of joy, he invited a few old friends to have a drink with him that evening.

The rich aroma of the yellow braised fish wafted from the kitchen, signaling that it was ready. The rest of the dishes were brought to the table one after another.

By the time Su Pan’er arrived with Qin Yi, everyone had already taken their seats.

Upon seeing Su Pan’er’s arrival, Old Qin’s face lit up with happiness.

"Ah, the third one’s family has arrived? Come over here and sit down to eat." As he spoke, he pointed to an empty spot at the lower end of the table.

Yikes!

The room instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared blankly at Old Qin.

The Qin family’s mealtime traditionally segregated men and women into separate tables. Men and women don’t sit together after the age of seven, Old Qin inviting Su Pan’er to the men’s table was not only against convention, but also a clear recognition of Su Pan’er’s status!

Su Pan’er noticed nothing out of the ordinary, and confidently took her seat. A cursory glance across the table made her laugh!

The table was laden with a large bowl of stewed rabbit, presumably leftovers from Qin Yi and the others’ dinner. There was also a pot of yellow braised fish, and judging from the amount, all the fish she had brought back must have been used. Besides that, there was a large pot of mixed grain porridge with wild vegetables and a tray of cornbread, staple food for most households here.

"You haven’t met everyone yet, have you? Let me introduce you. This is Old Zhang, Old Liew, Old Li... and over there is your uncle Qin Yu, your nephew Qin Gui, and your second nephew Qin Hao..."

Old Qin enthusiastically introduced everyone to Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er looked indifferent, only bowing slightly after Old Qin finished the introductions.

Old Man Li and others had heard that the third son of the Qin family had married a wife who was not only ugly but also dark. The one who called her a fool... their judgment...

Such perfunctory attitude immediately changed the expression on Mrs. Qin-Li’s face! She got up to throw a tantrum, but was stared down by Old Qin and sullenly returned to her seat by the table.

Hurriedly, Old Qin played the peacemaker with a laugh: "The third one’s family must be feeling shy. In the future, we’ll all be like one big family, so relax. Old woman, didn’t you bring the gift for meeting our third one’s family?" Saying this, he turned his gaze to Mrs. Qin-Li.

Mrs. Qin-Li’s expression turned even worse!

Anger filled her heart, but with Old Qin’s prior admonition and so many people watching, along with the elders present, she had no choice but to reach into her pocket and search for something for a long time. The frustration in her heart was beyond description.

After a long time, she pulled out a small piece of silver, probably just a few coins in weight. With a pained expression, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and with a determined effort, she threw it forward.

"Here, take it!"

Inwardly, she was gnashing her teeth. She had now realized that this ill-starred woman had been born to make her pay!
