Chapter 446: Chapter 449 What Have You Done?_1
The kitchen, Sun Erhu said with a face full of anticipation, "Besides the silver needed for our marriage, I have over seventy taels, how do you plan to use it?"
Bowing her head and picking vegetables, Chao Lian didn’t bother to acknowledge Sun Erhu’s comment.
Whoever counts the man’s silver before getting married on how to spend it?
"I’m thinking of spending a few taels of silver to refurbish the courtyard, then buy ten acres of land, get some chickens and ducks, and give the remaining dozen taels or so to you. You can buy whatever you want, does that sound okay to you?"
Sun Erhu couldn’t help but start fantasizing about life after marriage, which would surely be as smooth as Brother Hong’s honey-coated days.
Oh right, his and Chao Lian’s marriage arrangement could succeed, all thanks to his sister-in-law’s clever plan. He must remember to thank her properly during the wedding.
After waiting a long time without a response from Chao Lian, Sun Erhu couldn’t help but move closer.
"Chao Lian, did you hear what I said?"
Chao Lian nodded, speaking softly, "That’s your silver, you can use it however you want."
And what Erhu said, she felt was pretty good; she was just an ordinary village girl with no grand desires.
Having her own courtyard, enough land to feed the family, and raising some chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs, she would feel quite happy. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
"Mine is yours, whatever you want, just tell me. Anything I can afford, I’ll buy; for what I can’t, I’ll save up."
Sun Erhu declared, patting his chest; he’s the man, and he should accommodate his wife in every way.
"You stay away from me, and you better get started with the fire. If you delay lunch, they’ll definitely laugh at me again."
Pushing the nearly sticking Sun Erhu away, Chao Lian thought, how could he be so close before they’re even married?
He didn’t realize that whenever he got close, she became stiff all over, daring not to move.
Sun Erhu quickly wrapped his arms around Chao Lian’s waist: "I just want to be close to you, I can’t believe I’ll have a family soon. In the future, we’ll have several children, I’ve been lonely for so many years."
Especially during the holidays, when he envied those with families to accompany them.
"I want four children, so that we all can play Ma Diao together; when we’re gone, they can look after each other."
Disturbed by Sun Erhu, Chao Lian’s hand slipped, and the knife cut her other hand, blood gushing out immediately.
Sun Erhu hurriedly picked Chao Lian up and walked outside, with so much blood, they had to find a doctor!
Chao Lian struggled for a moment: "Let go of me!"
But Sun Erhu completely ignored her and within a few large strides, he was already in the courtyard.
"Erhu, what are you two doing?" Qiao Duo’er asked mischievously.
Making a meal turned into a princess carry? She couldn’t help but suspect something unspeakable had just happened.
"Chao Lian is bleeding, I’m going to find Uncle Wu."
Sun Erhu briefly explained and continued to walk outside.
Weakly, Hu’s Clan said, "Erhu, Chao Lian’s injury seems to be on her hand, why are you carrying her? Couldn’t you just bandage it up?"
Sun Erhu blinked, it was just a small cut from the kitchen knife, what was he doing carrying Chao Lian?
He fumbled for words: "I... I..."
"You’re so silly, put me down now. It’s just a small cut!" Chao Lian finally got her words out.
Haven’t you seen how everyone is nearly bending over laughing?
Sun Erhu quickly did as told, fetching hemostatic medicine and clean cotton cloth to bandage Chao Lian’s hand.
Once all this was done, Sun Erhu noticed the teasing glances from the others.
He seemed to have acted too anxiously, but wasn’t he just concerned about his future wife?
