87 Chapter 87: Fearful of Aggravating Handcart’s Wear and Tear
She was also willing to spend money on her attractive husband, but… her attractive husband probably would never look at her like that…
Big Girl Li was a little embarrassed by Qin Xiaoyao’s stare, so she pulled on her man’s arm and reminded Liu Daniu to watch his behavior.
Only then did Liu Daniu calm down. He was so embarrassed that he didn’t dare to look at Qin Xiaoyao again.
“Ahem…” Qin Xiaoyao cleared her throat.
“Since the handcart issue has been solved, I’ll come up with the list tomorrow. After that, you can decide when to start, Daniu.”
“The day after tomorrow is Fortune Restaurant’s opening day. Naturally, the sooner, the better!” Big Girl Li immediately replied.
“Let’s go buy the handcart tomorrow and start working the day after tomorrow!”
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Liu Daniu.
Liu Daniu hesitated for a moment before nodding his head with determination.
“Right, it’s better to do it earlier than later!”
Qin Xiaoyao was very pleased.
“Alright, then Daniu will come with us to town tomorrow to choose a handcart.”
“Alright!” Liu Daniu agreed happily.
Then, the three of them talked some more about the follow-up arrangements before the couple left.
In the end, just as the couple left, Song Que, who was getting some sun not far away, looked over.
“You’ve received so many goods and are even preparing to sell your own goods. Can that handcart of yours fit all of them?”
As he spoke, Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao’s figure.
She was still very beefy, but her clothes seemed to be much looser.
Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.
It seemed that she had to take into consideration this problem too…
“You and Erniu’s sister-in-law are two different people. There’s no need for you two to move together.”
“Since you’ve decided to set up a stall, why don’t you let one person deliver the goods and the other go to the market to reserve a stall location first? With a two-pronged approach, we won’t have any delays on either end,” Song Que continued.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned again.
What he said made a lot of sense!
“Doesn’t that mean we’ll have to buy another handcart?” Qin Xiaoyao asked immediately.
Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao in disdain.
Of course!
Then, Qin Xiaoyao scratched her head in embarrassment.
“Then I’ll buy another handcart. When the time comes, Big Girl Li and I will push one each.”
Only then did Song Que’s expression become slightly better.
“And don’t just load the goods on the handcart according to the different destinations.”
“Though the quality of our handcart is not bad, if you use it every day, it will wear out very fast.”
“It’s best to separate the goods by type in advance and place them in frames. Then, you can divide them equally on the two handcarts.”
“After you reach the city gate, you can re-arrange the goods again before you enter the town.”
“This way, the goods on the two carts are about the same weight, so the wear and tear on the handcart will be less.”
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
“Okay!” Then, she nodded.
He certainly lived up to his reputation as Brook Falls Village’s number-one talent. He was really smart.
Only then did Song Que turn his head back.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a small arc.
Song Que thought that no one would notice his smile, but little did he know that his faint smile did not escape Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart felt as romantic as a wildflower in the mountains.
Hah! Why was he worried about the wear and tear of the handcart? He was clearly hoping that Qin Xiaoyao would push fewer goods and let Big Girl Li share the burden with her.
Her gruff yet tender husband was actually very concerned about her…
Qin Xiaoyao was feeling exceptionally happy.
Suddenly…
Cough!
Song Que’s light cough brought her back to reality.
When Qin Xiaoyao turned to look at Song Que, she realized that her attractive husband was frowning.
Her attractive husband seemed to have said something to her just now. Apparently, she was distracted and didn’t hear him.
“Er… Hubby, what’s wrong?” Knowing that she had made her attractive husband angry, Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly answered and even took a step forward.
She only stopped when she saw Song Que frowning again.
“I said I want to go to town with you guys tomorrow,” Song Que said.
Qin Xiaoyao was shocked.
Her eyes subconsciously glanced at Song Que’s leg.
Song Que’s face darkened.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly looked away.
“But…” she was still worried.
“I’ll sit on the handcart, and you can push me,” Song Que continued.
“Er…”
Her attractive husband frowned.
“All… alright,” Qin Xiaoyao had no choice but to give in.
Only then did Song Que stand up. When he lowered his head, no one noticed that a smile had appeared on his face again.
Qin Xiaoyao watched as her husband entered the house, feeling helpless…
She and the Big Girl Li went to town to deliver goods, and then she had to go sell goods. There were many things to do.
At that point, how would she take care of him?
However, even though she felt helpless, she could not refuse her attractive husband’s request. Therefore, she could only think of a way when the time came…
The next day, Big Girl Li and Liu Daniu arrived early in the morning at the Song family’s house.
Then, listening to Madam Liu, the couple went to the River Ringwaters to bring up the fish in the fishing net.
When the two of them returned, Qin Xiaoyao had also returned from picking the Chinese Toon shoots in the mountains.
After placing the goods they had prepared in advance onto the handcart, they were ready to set off.
Cough! At this moment, a familiar light cough was heard again.
Everybody turned around and saw Song Que standing on the steps below the roof eaves.
At this moment, Song Que was leaning on a crutch and looking at them with a displeased expression.
“Er… I almost forgot. My husband is also going to town today,” Qin Xiaoyao said hurriedly.
Then, ignoring everyone’s astonished gazes, she quickly went to help Song Que.
She had thought she would be rejected, but to her surprise, Song Que actually accepted her help.
He allowed her to help him to the handcart to sit down.
After settling Song Que down, Qin Xiaoyao finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Was there any other way? If he insisted on going, she had to take him along.
Then, she went to push the handcart.
“Let’s go!”
After that, everyone was very quiet.
Liu Daniu and Big Girl Li exchanged glances a few times, but they didn’t say anything.
The silence was only broken when someone in the village saw them and greeted them.
Only then did Song Que realize that Qin Xiaoyao was actually quite popular in the village.
Qin Xiaoyao also found out that her attractive husband wasn’t aloof to everyone. He even had a bright and sunny side to him.
On the main road, Big Girl Li finally couldn’t hold her tongue anymore and started chatting with Qin Xiaoyao.
Naturally, they were talking about buying a handcart.
Qin Xiaoyao took the opportunity to tell her what Song Que had told her the day before, that she should buy another handcart.
“It’s indeed necessary to add another handcart. How about this? I’ll pay for the new handcart,” Big Girl Li said quickly.
The handcart they were using now was bought by Sister Sanya, and she was doing business with Sister Sanya. She had benefited so much from it when she should have contributed some money for it as well.
Moreover, the handcart was not considered expensive for her now.
In any case, she had brought enough silver today. It was more than enough to buy two handcarts.
Liu Daniu only glanced at Big Girl Li but didn’t express his opinion.
He supported his wife’s actions.
Qin Xiaoyao wanted to refuse subconsciously, but then she heard Song Que’s voice.
“I’m tired. Stop and rest for a while.”
Her thoughts were interrupted.
Qin Xiaoyao had no choice but to put down the handcart.
When she saw Big Girl Li and Liu Daniu looking at her with an odd expression, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Tired?
Her attractive husband was sitting on the handcart, and she was the one pushing him the entire way. How… how could he be tired?
