96 Chapter 96: Getting Along
He was sure that this woman was not Qin Sanya, but none of the people who were close to Qin Sanya had discovered her secret, whether it was that Big Girl Li or Qin Sanya’s father and two older brothers.
He really didn’t know if it was because those people were too rough and boorish or if she had disguised herself too well.
“Hehe! Hubby, if you’re too embarrassed to talk to Father, I’ll go and tell him,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
Song Que looked at Qin Xiaoyao again and then looked away.
“Keep the budget within 250 taels. We’ll choose a place on the street behind your father’s place or one street away. In addition, the courtyard dwelling should have a well, and it is best to have a cellar,” he said.
If the location in the west of the town were not so close to the town center, 250 taels would probably be enough.
It would be just nice to use the remaining silver to buy some furniture for the new house.
In addition, he could save some money to stock up on food.
After some thought, Song Que added, “It’s fine if the place doesn’t have a cellar, but it must have the conditions to accommodate one in the future. We can dig one ourselves later on.”
Anyway, this woman had such great strength, so it shouldn’t be difficult to dig a cellar.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded hurriedly.
“Okay! I’ll tell Father tomorrow!” she said excitedly.
How could she not be excited?
Their family was going to buy a courtyard dwelling!
This was the same as… buying a house before the apocalypse! Her family was about to have assets!
Song Que pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly, and then he turned his head away.
After hearing the good news that her family was about to buy a courtyard dwelling, Qin Xiaoyao’s footsteps became light and springy. It didn’t take long for her to push the handcart back to Brook Falls Village.
Back at the Song family’s house.
Madam Liu and Song Yun had already prepared lunch and were waiting for the couple to return.
Seeing that the young couple had returned and bought a lot of cloth and shoes, Madam Liu’s face revealed the tremendous heartache she felt.
“How much did it cost to buy so much?”
“Hehe! All in all, it’s not even 800 copper coins! We only bought some fabric and didn’t buy any ready-made clothes. We’ve saved a lot.”
“I’ll have to trouble Mother to make clothes for everyone after this.” Qin Xiaoyao gave Madam Liu an ingratiating look.
Madam Liu smiled and patted her daughter-in-law’s arm.
“What trouble? That’s the right thing to do! It’s not difficult to make clothes. The clothes I make are not much worse than the ready-made ones in the store!”
“That’s true!” Qin Xiaoyao quickly flattered her.
Madam Liu laughed so hard that she couldn’t close her mouth.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled when she saw the two little ones staring at the shoes in the basket. She bent down and took out their shoes from the basket.
“Take it and try it first to see if it fits. If it doesn’t suit you, I’ll take it to the grocery store tomorrow to exchange.” As she spoke, she handed the shoes to the two little ones.
“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” The two little ones quickly accepted.
Holding the shoes, they excitedly ran to the steps under the roof eaves to try them on.
Then, Qin Xiaoyao also took out Madam Liu’s shoes.
“Mother, you should try it too.” She handed the shoes to Madam Liu.
“Okay!” Madam Liu smiled and nodded. She also took her shoes and left.
Song Que, who was standing at the side, saw Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze turning to him and said, “Help me bring my shoes to my room.”
After that, he walked away on his crutch.
Looking at the man’s back as he left, Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but smile.
Following that, she took his shoes and the box of silver on the handcart and ran after him.
When she walked to Song Que’s side, she reached out to help him along.
Song Que didn’t refuse her assistance, and he leaned much of his body weight on Qin Xiaoyao.
The mother and children trio on the steps saw this and smiled.
Madam Liu, in particular, was smiling so sweetly.
Back in his room, Qin Xiaoyao helped Song Que to the bed.
Then, she squatted down and helped him change his shoes.
Song Que’s face finally flushed red. He raised his head and turned away.
He allowed Qin Xiaoyao to serve him.
After helping him put on his new shoe with some effort, Qin Xiaoyao held Song Que’s foot and said, “Hah! Not bad! The size is just right!”
Song Que lowered his head to look at the shoe on his foot and said indifferently, “It’s alright.”
“Help me change into the other one as well.”
Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at her husband with a bright smile.
“Okay!”
Then, she carefully helped Song Que change his other shoe.
Seeing how fearful Qin Xiaoyao was of hurting his injured leg, Song Que couldn’t help but smile again.
He lowered his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao, enjoying the service that Qin Xiaoyao was providing him.
Finally, she finished putting on the other shoe.
Qin Xiaoyao finally stood up.
“Want to try getting up and walking?” She said to Song Que, who had already wiped away his smile.
“Okay,” Song Que replied. Then, he extended his hand naturally to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao quickly went forward to support him.
Then, she helped Song Que around the house to test out the shoes.
“How is it? Is it comfortable?” Qin Xiaoyao asked after a while.
“It’s acceptable,” Song Que replied.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao help Song Que back to the bed to sit down.
She looked at the old shoes and said, “Your old shoes are almost worn out, so just wear these new shoes from now onward. I’ll buy more for you later on.”
Song Que followed Qin Xiaoyao’s line of sight and looked at the pair of old shoes he had worn before.
“Alright,” he replied.
Although they could still be worn, they were indeed a little worn out.
Their family would be rich soon, so they didn’t have to tighten their belts so much.
“Let’s buy another pair. It’s good to have an extra pair to change into,” Song Que continued.
“Alright!” Qin Xiaoyao agreed with a smile.
There was going to be a lot of money in the family soon. It was just a few pairs of shoes, so what was there to be reluctant about?
“We can also buy more fabric and let Mother slowly make clothes. It’s best if the family doesn’t have to wear patched-up clothes when going out in the future,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
This caused Song Que to raise his head and look at her.
Qin Xiaoyao’s face stiffened, and she could only smile awkwardly at Song Que.
Surprisingly, Song Que actually nodded.
“Alright,” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao’s chubby face blushed furiously when Song Que stared at her.
“Mother… Mother is still waiting for us to eat. I… do you want me to get you some food?” She quickly looked away and stammered.
A look of interest appeared in Song Que’s eyes, and he stared at Qin Xiaoyao even more intently.
“I can walk now, so I don’t have to eat alone anymore.”
“Let’s go. Help me to the kitchen to eat with everyone.” As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Qin Xiaoyao again.
Qin Xiaoyao could only endure the burning gaze and help Song Que up again.
Then, she supported him and walked out of the room.
In the courtyard, Madam Liu and the others had already unloaded the things from the handcart and put the handcart back in the shed.
Seeing the couple come out, they started to talk about lunch.
Then, the whole family went to the kitchen happily.
This was the first meal that Qin Xiaoyao had with the whole family sitting together at one table since she transmigrated to this world.
The table was filled with joy and harmony, and Madam Liu was the happiest.
In the afternoon, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t have to go out too early.
She stayed at home to weave straw sandals and receive some mountain goods.
Madam Liu was busy working on the cloth she had bought. After cutting it, she would start making new clothes for her family.
Qin Xiaoyao was favored by Madam Liu and became the first person in the family to get new clothes.
When she was taking Qin Xiaoyao’s measurements, Madam Liu noticed that her clothes were too loose, and her waist had slimmed down substantially.
