Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Heart of Parents is Priceless!"_1

How could Qin Yi’s condition be unknown to the Qin and Su families, who only live two villages apart?

When no one came to ask for Pan’er’s hand in marriage even after she turned fifteen, and since Pan’er herself agreed to marry in order to offset bad luck, coupled with the Qin’s repeated assurances that they would treat Pan’er well even if Qin Yi were to meet with an "accident", they finally consented.

But now, when Qin Yi was still alive and well, they went back on their word. How could this not disappoint the elderly couple immensely?

"Father, you’re saying this place doesn’t feel like a home, don’t you?"

Su Pan’er, like the roundworm in Su Lao Si’s stomach, expressed his worries.

She said with a light smile, appearing truly persuasive, "We’re right by the foot of the mountain here. The expenses for furniture and other items are not high. Yet an excellent opportunity like splitting the stove is rare. Father, Mother, would I choose dead objects like furniture or choose the free and easy life now?"

"It’s the free and easy life of course!"

Su Lao Si and Mrs. Su-Hua said in unison and looked at each other.

"Pan’er, don’t worry. Let your father figure out the furniture. As for this house... it should be livable with a little more tidying up."

Su Lao Si looked at the ceiling and dismissed his original thought.

Su Lao Si naturally knew about this old Qin residence, it was very old. When he was young, he used to hear about its renovations, but every time there was a famine year, herds of pigs and wolves searching for food would pass by. As a result, people in the surrounding areas gradually moved away.

The old Qin residence was one of the last to move from this area.

"Father, do you have any other plans? You’re not seriously thinking of coming up with silver, are you?"

Though blunt, Su Pan’er’s words left Su Lao Si speechless.

Of course, the most beloved in the Su family by Patriarch Su was Su Sikong, Su Pan’er’s uncle. As for Su Lao Si, he was rather dispensable. Mrs. Su-Hua, on the other hand, was fierce on the surface but deeply obedient in private.

Since a lot was spent on the treatment of Ke’er’s leg, where would there be extra money lying around?

"Father, there’s no need to worry. Yesterday, I went up the mountain and had quite a harvest. Look!"

While she was talking, she showed the hunted game and medicinal herbs to her parents. "Do you remember that Huangjing that uncle previously talked about? It alone is worth a tael of silver! I’ve collected a lot of herbs this time. When I bring them to the market, getting a set of furniture will be like child’s play."

Su Pan’er now had a considerable amount of silver.

The 100 taels found in the inner compartment of the old quack’s medicine box, the silver ingot given by Fei’er’s fifth uncle, along with the loose silver coins from the little Bama pig, totaled up to several taels. Buying a set of furniture didn’t seem like a big deal.

But for Qin Yi and herself, being so poor, they had to have a source for these silvers, didn’t they?

Su Pan’er wanted to make a claim from these medicinal ingredients.

Her words suddenly brightened the eyes of the four present!

"Pan’er, is what you’re saying true?"

"When Uncle mentioned that Huangjing was worth a tael of silver, everybody was there. If you don’t trust me, would you even doubt Uncle, who is the deputy county magistrate?"

Su Pan’er brought out Su Sikong’s name.

Everyone immediately let out a sigh of relief!

"If the herbs are truly worth that much, that would be great... But Pan’er, how did you come to recognize these herbs?"

Unlike others, Su Lao Si wasn’t easy to dismiss and quickly asked the core question.

Su Pan’er was prepared for this and responded shyly, smiling and lowering her head, "I was listening when Uncle was teaching Second Cousin. They thought I didn’t understand, so..."

"So that’s how it is!"

Su Lao Si and Mrs. Su-Hua glanced at each other, a spark of elation in their eyes, soon shaded by gloom. Who said their Pan’er was a fool? Only they, as her parents, were incapable and failed to see their smart Pan’er!

True to Su Pan’er’s expectations, the two old people didn’t pursue any more questions.

But on the other hand, Qin Yi involuntarily furrowed his brows, gazing deeply at Su Pan’er, but didn’t call her out.

With the hour getting late, Su Pan’er and Su Lao Si, chatting and laughing, went out to tidy up the house.

Qin Yi took out all the remaining food ingredients, including the foolish roe deer, six mountain chickens, a wild rabbit that Pan’er had brought back in the morning, and handed them all to Mrs. Su-Hua.

Mrs. Su-Hua, who was skillful in kitchen work, directly kicked Qin Yi out of the room, and began to cook the meal.

It wasn’t long before the scent of food wafted through the air.

Even amidst their work, their stomach growled. Su Pan’er paused from cutting the bamboo strip and unconsciously lifted her head to sniff.

"It smells so delicious! It’s the aroma of the stewed chicken with pumpkin! My mother’s cooking is getting better and better!"

Su Pan’er smacked her lips instinctively.

"You’re such a glutton."

Su Lao Si chuckled upon hearing this, his large hand steadily weaving the grass curtain: "Your mother may not have other skills, but her cooking skills are top-notch. Yet we raised you, who can’t seem to learn how to cook at all. It’s just..."

Shaking his head, Su Lao Si always kept an eye on Qin Yi from the corner of his eye.

Qin Yi was on the side cleaning the soil off a large rock. The stone was perfectly round and flat, just right for a dining table.

Upon hearing this, he quickly interjected: "Father-in-law, your words are not quite right. Although Pan’er is not good at cooking, she is naturally strong and excels at manual labor! Coincidentally, I am physically weak, hence we complement each other, we’re a match made in heaven!"

As he spoke, he gave Su Pan’er a gentle smile.

Just as Su Pan’er glanced at him, she met his warm smile, which pierced right into her heart, causing her to shiver and bury herself back into her work.

He knows what’s right! Knows how to please my father! She flipped him off!

Qin Yi didn’t understand the meaning of her gesture, looked at the sky, saw nothing out of the ordinary, and cast an inquisitive look at her.

Su Pan’er rolled her eyes at him, such a goose!

Qin Yi was completely clueless!

Looking at the sky and then at Su Pan’er, scratching his nose, this foolish woman was becoming more and more mysterious!

The exchange of looks between the young couple was all noted by Su Lao Si.

As a man of experience, he chuckled and returned to his task, his worries finally abated. As long as their feelings for each other were strong, all other difficulties could be overcome!

"Qin Yi, you’ve spoken well! The two of you are indeed a match made in heaven. Pan’er is a foolish girl and you’ll need to be patient with her. Understand? And also..."

Poor parents worldwide!

Mrs. Su-Hua had finished cooking and walked out of the house, just catching Su Lao Si’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh!

And here she had chided herself for worrying about trifles all day long, seeing him now, wasn’t he even more chatty than her?

Only then did she wipe her hands on her apron, and cheerily announced: "Everyone, stop your work, the food is ready. Let’s eat first! We can continue working after eating."
