Late at night, Qin’s courtyard

There was a sound at the courtyard door, and soon there were footsteps. Inside the house, Su Yan was playing around. She just woke up and cried when she didn't see her father.

When she heard the noise, she hugged Tuantuan and coaxed: "Daddy is back."

Qin An, who was closing the door, heard the sound and turned around to look, "Is it a night?"

"I kept calling daddy when I woke up, and cried when I didn't see you." Su Yan smelled the scent of makeup on his body when she walked in. No wonder Goudan knew it.

She asked again: "How is it?"

"I gave you money to make a show."

Qin An coaxed to Tuantuan: "Wait for daddy to go change clothes."

Su Yan held her son in her arms and sat in the yard waiting. After a while, Qin An came out with his upper body naked and his hair slightly wet.

He hugged Tuantuan and sat on the stool, teaching in a low voice: "Don't disturb mother's sleep in the middle of the night."

"Daddy will come back."

"Mom is very tired and needs to sleep."

Tuantuan hugged him and laughed, his little head shaking like something, but he obviously didn't understand what he was saying.

Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand to pinch his little face, "Other people have sons who cling to their mothers, so you cling to your father."

Then she got down to business, "Did Brother Jiang tell you anything? Why did the couple become like this?"

Two years ago, Jiang Caifu looked much better than he is now, but things have changed in just a few years.

Qin An said in a low voice: "I have plenty of money."

Su Yan understood what he meant, that is, when he had money, he became bad and no longer loved the Gu family.

She was silent for a while, and sighed with some self-blame: "I am still to blame for this, I didn't expect this."

She just wanted to help Goudanfu and make their lives easier, but she didn't expect that having plenty of money would actually turn out to be a bad person.

Some people are just unlucky.

"Do not blame you."

Qin An reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "As long as you don't want to, you won't."

Probably because he was afraid that she would worry, he said: "I don't know how to drink flower wine."

Rouge powder is not as good as the fragrance of a daughter-in-law, and those women are even worse than a daughter-in-law.

Su Yan stood up and wiped his head with a handkerchief, "I know."

"How much wine have you drunk today? Do you want some ginger water?"

"I didn't drink much."

Qin An held her on his lap with one hand and asked his son to sit alone with her. He smiled contentedly.

Holding her like a child, Su Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was a bit thin-skinned and whispered: "Let me get up. Sister Cui and the others will be in trouble when they see her."

"No, they are already asleep." Qin An put his arms around her waist, bent down and kissed her.

It was rare for the family to stay together, so Su Yan didn't hesitate, hugged his waist, looked up at the sky, "The moon is really round today, I'll make lotus cakes to eat tomorrow."

"You make stuffing for me."

"good."

…

The next day, Su Yan went into the kitchen early in the morning and saw the lotus stuffing that had been pounded, and a few lotus flowers inserted into a wooden bucket and kept in water.

The flowers are in full bloom.

She raised the corner of her mouth, saying that her words would still make her daughter-in-law happy.

She asked casually: "Sister Cui, where did my wife go?"

"The master went up the mountain with his bow and arrows and said he would be back before noon," Cuilan said.

Then he smiled and said: "Master can't be idle."

The host is not a lazy person, otherwise he would not be able to save money.

She knew more or less what happened to her master's family, but she didn't dare to think that it would be like this.

Su Yan reached for the cotton handkerchief and wiped her face with water, "Tuantuan is still sleeping?"

"Xiao Xiu took her out to watch the birds."

"Okay, I'll make some custard to feed him first."

"The master has fed her. When we got up, he was sitting in the yard feeding Tuantuan, egg custard and batter."

As soon as he heard Qin An feed him, Su Yan stopped caring about eating. With his father here, he ate better than anyone else.

Smoke curls from the rooftops, and the courtyard is filled with a sweet smell.

"What delicious food are you cooking? I can smell the aroma at the door." Goudan's mother came in with her daughter in her arms.

"Nothing to do, I just made some pancakes to eat, and I said I would send some to you."

"I have a good nose, so I came here on my own."

Su Yan knew that she wasn't here for food, and her eyes signaled Cuilan to go out first, and asked in a low voice: "Is Brother Jiang back?"

"When I just came back, I said he was tired from work, but he was still embarrassed." Goudan's mother curled her lips.

She hesitated again: "You really didn't do anything yesterday?"

"Whatever disease you have, don't bring trouble to me."

Su Yan nodded, "Just drink."

She warned seriously again: "You must not let Brother Jiang know about this matter. We are fine. We are just afraid that you will quarrel."

"I know, I won't tell you. I'm going to scare him to death this time." Goudan said angrily.

"No, you have to be nice to him. The better he is, the more guilty he will be." Su Yan said.

Goudanfu didn’t understand and said: “Then I still have to coax him?”

"Well, I also need to spend money on his medical treatment."

Su Yan opened the lid and took a look at the pancakes inside. It would be ready in a while.

Seeing that she didn't speak, he knew that she couldn't understand, "When you quarrel with him, he becomes irritated, thinking why you, your wife, don't care about him at this time."

"Be good to him and take him for medical treatment, and he will feel that he is nothing. His wife is so good, but he still doesn't know how to be content."

Goudanfu suddenly realized, "But how can I cure it if I'm not sick?"

"I've told the doctor in town about this. The money for medical treatment will be private to me at that time, and I will give it to you at that time."

"You are still smart. How can I coax him? There will definitely be a big quarrel."

At this point, Su Yan reminded her a few more words, "Quarrel less and do more."

If a problem has already occurred, arguing will not make it better, so it is better to work on your own.

Goudan's mother nodded, "My mother said the same thing. I don't want to argue now. If I do, the whole family will be unhappy. My Goudan is very sensible these days and helps me with my work."

"Seeing my child like this, why should I be dissatisfied? As long as my child is filial to me, that's all."

Su Yan glanced at her. She was in her twenties, with a sallow complexion and many dark spots on her face due to years of exposure to the sun.

Although almost all the women in the village are like this, Jiang Caifu is still not satisfied. It would be great to find a wife who can start a family.

She agreed: "Just be filial to you."

Goudan's mother waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about this terrible thing. I heard from the Li family that the village chief wants you to sign back your account."

A family can receive a 10% or 20% reduction in food tax.

The people in the village naturally think so.

But Su Yan would not agree, and neither would Qin An.

She added: "Don't agree."

"Don't worry, even if they tell the truth, my family won't agree." Su Yan half-joked.

Goudanfang smiled and said, "Your family is still awesome."

Having said this, he couldn't help but praise: "This family is what it is because of your support."

Su Yan shook her head and said: "Don't say that, you should rely on my family's reputation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Caifu come in. He winked at Goudanfu and said immediately, "Brother Jiang, thank you for your hard work. You've been busy all night before coming back."

"It's time to buy some meat to make up for it."

Goudanfu was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and cooperated: "I just want you to cut off a few pounds with me."
