Chapter 201 - 201 There Was Still War Disaster
201 There Was Still War Disaster
Then, Qin Xiaoyao stood up and walked towards Song Que.
“Hubby…” she called out in a coquettish manner.
Song Que felt as if an electric current had run through his body. He felt goosebumps all over his body.
“What’s the matter?” After calming himself down, he turned to look at his wife.
Then, he saw Qin Xiaoyao touch her tummy in front of him.
“What do you think will happen when we have a baby in the future?” she said with a face full of anticipation.
Song Que felt like his head was about to explode.
Thinking of the dream he had before, he subconsciously shook his head.
Unfortunately, his shake of the head caused Qin Xiaoyao to misunderstand him.
“What do you mean by this? You don’t want a baby?” she immediately asked Song Que. Her tone was rather annoyed.
When Song Que saw this, he knew he had angered his wife.
He hurriedly shifted his butt to make space for his wife and then stretched out his arm to let her sit in his arms.
“Hmph!” Qin Xiaoyao gave a snort, but her body still moved to sit down next to Song Que.
Only then did Song Que hug his wife.
Then, he sighed in his heart, thinking, “She seemed to have lost a lot of weight again.”
In reality, Qin Xiaoyao stopped being angry when her husband hugged her.
However, she wanted to pretend for a while longer to make her man feel more heartache for her.
“My wife, you are thinking too much. How can your husband not want a baby?” Song Que coaxed Qin Xiaoyao in a low voice as he held her in his arms.
At the same time, his eyes were also looking at Qin Xiaoyao’s lower abdomen.
“Then let’s make a baby tonight,” Qin Xiaoyao said immediately.
She said this purely on impulse and in a moment of excitement.
After all, having a child was a big deal, and she was not really ready for it.
Song Que’s face froze.
Then, Qin Xiaoyao’s face instantly clouded over.
Seeing this, Song Que quickly hugged Qin Xiaoyao even more tightly.
“My wife, don’t misunderstand. I have my reason,” he said hurriedly.
This time, Qin Xiaoyao broke free from Song Que instead.
“What reason?” She looked at Song Que with an icy expression.
Song Que was sure that his wife was really angry this time.
He also understood how much she cared about him, as well as the uncertainty and fear she felt about their relationship.
With a sigh, he finally told the truth.
“I didn’t tell you this before. But after the locust plague, there will be a war disaster.”
“I’m afraid it will affect you if you’re pregnant.”
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at him in surprise, Song Que reached out again and pulled his wife into his arms.
“If you want to have a child, we’ll work hard together next year,” he continued.
Qin Xiaoyao’s heart softened, and she suddenly felt like crying.
“Who wants to have children with you?” she said angrily.
After saying that, she broke free from Song Que’s arms again.
Song Que smiled. He felt that he had finally discovered the shy side of his wife.
He reached out again and pulled his wife into his arms.
“If you don’t have children with your husband, who do you want to have children with?”
“At that time, one will not be enough. We have to have at least two. I want both a daughter and a son so that the house will be lively.”
Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and happened to see Song Que’s handsome side profile.
When she heard him say this, the sweetness in her heart rippled outward…
Her original intention to argue with Song Que vanished.
She tacitly agreed with him.
A son and a daughter would be good. It would be best if one looked like her husband and the other looked like her.
Of course, the child’s body shape should only resemble Qin Xiaoyao after she slimmed down.
When she thought of her body size, Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but lower her head and look at her own body.
She was only about 125 pounds now, and when she walked on the streets, the number of heads turning was much higher than before. She could almost be considered a beauty.
In another month, she should be able to lose another 20 pounds, and then she would be within the ideal weight range.
Her figure from her previous life was finally coming back.
Wait a minute.
Just as Qin Xiaoyao was feeling gleeful secretly, she suddenly thought of something.
“What war disaster? Why didn’t you say so before?” she quickly asked Song Que.
Song Que glanced at his wife and pulled her into his arms again.
He even pressed her head down and placed it on his shoulder.
“I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you would panic if I told you too early.”
“Now that all the necessary preparations at home are completed, there’s no harm in telling you.”
After that, he told her about how the bandits colluded with the refugees to attack Mountain Spring Town before winter.
“So, it’s not safe for us to live in town either?” Not surprisingly, Qin Xiaoyao was a little nervous after hearing that.
She wasn’t afraid that she would be in danger. After all, if she really ran into someone who picked a fight with her, it would be the other party who would be in trouble, not her.
However, she was afraid that the bandits and rebels would harm her family.
After all, she was the only one who was extremely strong in her family.
The others, whether it was her mother-in-law or her husband and the rest, were all very weak.
“No worries. As long as we don’t go out and antagonize anyone, it shouldn’t be a big problem.” Song Que patted Qin Xiaoyao’s head and comforted her.
Actually, the feeling of touching his wife’s head was quite good.
“The rich people in Mountain Spring Town mainly live in the east and the middle of the town. At that point, not many people will come to the west of the town.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart finally relaxed.
Suddenly, Song Que added, “However, the grain that we hoarded…”
Qin Xiaoyao raised her head again and looked at Song Que.
“It’s a little too much. It’ll be troublesome if we’re discovered by the people who come to search.”
This was also the reason he had asked his wife to dig a cellar to store food in the beginning.
After all, the storage room was too conspicuous. If someone really came to search, the food would be easily discovered.
As for the cellar, if outsiders didn’t search carefully, they wouldn’t be able to find it.
“There will be… people coming to search?” Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered as she asked.
“I’m not sure. But we can’t rule out this possibility,” Song Que said.
“After all, both the bandits and the refugees are short of food. There’s a high chance that they’ll rob food after entering the town.”
The grain store was, of course, the biggest target. After that, the residents of the town would not be spared either.
Qin Xiaoyao was silent.
“Then I’ll think of a way to sell the grain at home,” she said.
Instead of risking their food supplies getting robbed, it was better to sell them for silver to fatten her money pouch.
Since the price of grain had increased by several times now, she could make a lot of money by selling it now.
However, Song Que said, “There’s no rush.”
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao looking at him, he continued, “After the locust plague, the price of grain will rise by a lot. We’ll make our move then.”
“In addition, you have to be careful when you sell grain. Don’t let others see you. This is to avoid future trouble.”
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
She thought for a moment and then nodded.
“Yes, we have to be careful, or we might be recognized. It would be troublesome if other people knew that we hoarded grain and the secret was leaked.”
Song Que nodded, pleased that Qin Xiaoyao understood what he was thinking.
“I have to think over this matter carefully,” Qin Xiaoyao muttered.
Song Que glanced at his wife and did not say anything more.
He believed in his wife’s ability. He knew that as long as he gave her a general direction, she would be able to get things done.
After dinner, Qin Xiaoyao remembered that she hadn’t gone out with Song Que in a long time.
She brought Song Que out, and they went for a walk on the streets.
It had been almost half a year since she transmigrated to this world.
Her husband’s leg had completely recovered, and he didn’t need her to support him anymore.
Holding hands and going on a date with her husband on the street was very delightful.
