49 Chapter 49: Delivery The Next Day

The night was pitch black. What a pity. If it were during the day, Qin Xiaoyao would have seen Song Que’s frowning face when she turned around.

Damn it! Was this woman pretending to be dead?

“Er, Hubby…” Qin Xiaoyao finally spoke before Song Que could cough again to send her a reminder.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t dare to move as she was afraid that the bed beneath her would protest again.

!!

At the same time, her heart tensed up quite tightly.

She was afraid that her words would make her attractive husband displeased again.

“Hmm.” To her surprise, Qin Xiaoyao heard the person beside her respond.

Her heart trembled, and her face turned red immediately.

Damn it! It must be her predecessor’s love-struck infatuation acting up again. She, Qin Xiaoyao, would never become so infatuated!

Qin Xiaoyao forced herself to calm down, but she still didn’t dare to move.

After waiting for a while, Song Que still did not speak.

“Hubby, are you not feeling well?” Qin Xiaoyao finally said.

As soon as she said that, she wanted to slap her own head.

Her attractive husband obviously had something to say to her. What was he feeling unwell about? This mouth of hers was cursed!

Song Que did not answer.

Just as Qin Xiaoyao thought that her attractive husband would ignore her and she was about to close her eyes to sleep, she heard the person behind her speak again.

“You’re going to town tomorrow?”

Qin Xiaoyao’s whole body stiffened.

This time, his word count was quite a lot higher, wasn’t it?

“Yes, that’s right.” Qin Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment before she quickly responded.

She still didn’t dare to turn around.

“Can you make a trip to the Cirrus Loft Bookstore? Look for the shop owner to help me procure some book-copying work.” Song Que paused a few times as he spoke, clearly not used to talking to Qin Xiaoyao in this manner.

Before his leg was injured, he had been doing book-copying work for Cirrus Loft Bookstore to supplement his family’s income.

Although the job didn’t earn much, it was the main source of income for the family in the past.

Now that the whole family was working hard to earn money, and even his little sister was not idle, it was not good for him to lie there all day doing nothing.

In addition, now that there was hope for his leg’s recovery, he could start planning for some things anew.

No matter what, it was not advisable for him to simply lie there and do nothing.

“Can you copy books in this state?” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t refuse but asked worriedly nevertheless.

Lying in bed all day was indeed boring. In fact, it was good to replace something for her attractive husband to do.

“Yes,” Song Que replied with one word.

“Alright then. I’ll go and ask tomorrow.”

Song Que was caught by surprise.

Before his irritation could rise in time, it had already dissipated.

She… agreed just like that?

“You still need to buy some paper and ink for copying books.” Song Que continued.

“Alright.” Qin Xiaoyao agreed again.

Song Que was stunned again.

She agreed again?

Then, the two of them lapsed into a long silence.

It was only when he heard the noisy snoring next to him that Song Que came back to his senses.

This woman had fallen asleep so quickly again.

He turned back in frustration and closed his eyes.

The next day, Qin Xiaoyao woke up early in the morning.

In the end, she had barely finished breakfast when Big Girl Li arrived.

She also carried a bamboo basket backpack on her back, which was filled with vegetables.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly packed up her things and asked Big Girl Li to help carry some of the load before setting off with her.

On the way out of the village, Qin Xiaoyao was carrying two bundles of Chinese yams and a backpack of Chinese Toon shoots on her back.

On the other hand, Big Girl Li hauled a backpack of vegetables on her back while carrying two wicker baskets. The wicker baskets were full of straw sandals.

The two of them carried backpacks and carrying poles, looking particularly eye-catching.

When the villagers saw them, some of them asked why they were bringing firewood to town.

The two of them only smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

As for the straw sandals that everyone was concerned about, the two of them enthusiastically told them about the situation.

They told the villagers that they could buy the sandals from the Song family at only three copper coins per pair.

After the villagers heard this, many of them immediately thought of buying.

...

After leaving the village, the rest of the journey was less eventful.

However, not long after, Big Girl Li couldn’t take it anymore and asked to rest.

Seeing that they were still early, Qin Sanya agreed.

“Sister Sanya, why don’t we stay here and take the ox-cart later?” After sitting on the shoulder pole and resting for a while, Big Girl Li didn’t feel like getting up anymore.

She really admired her Sister Sanya thoroughly now. The things she carried were obviously much heavier than hers, but she didn’t even become breathless after walking for such a long distance.

Qin Xiaoyao stood up from her shoulder pole.

“Why are we waiting for an ox-cart? We’re already halfway there.”

“Besides, if the ox-cart took the two of us, plus the things we brought, how can it fit anyone else?”

These words might sound a little exaggerated, but they were not far off.

After all, the two of them had brought a lot of things. In addition, they were both big-sized.

This was especially true for Qin Xiaoyao, whose weight alone was more than 200 pounds.

...

If they really took the ox-cart, it would place a tremendous burden on the ox.

Big Girl Li’s situation was better than hers, but she was still at least 150 or 160 pounds. She was also the kind of person that the ox-cart drivers detest.

Big Girl Li felt a little depressed.

She looked at the things they had brought and knew that Qin Xiaoyao was right. She had no choice but to get up.

“Then, when we come back, we’ll take the ox-cart!” She said with some resentment.

Before Qin Xiaoyao could reply, she said, “We can rent the whole ox-cart! I’ll pay!”

Qin Xiaoyao was amused.

“Okay!” She replied, giving up the idea of persuading Big Girl Li.

What else was there to say when someone was paying?

Only then did Big Girl Li smile.

“Exchange your backpack with me. You can carry this basket of Chinese Toon shoots. It’s lighter.” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

“But…” How could she possibly allow that?

Although she didn’t agree, Big Girl Li’s eyes lit up as she looked at the backpack with Chinese Toon shoots in front of Qin Xiaoyao.

“Hand it over.” Qin Xiaoyao glared at Big Girl Li.

“You’re truly my blood sister!” Big Girl Li said quickly.

Then, she happily exchanged backpacks with Qin Xiaoyao.

Once the things on her back were lighter, Big Girl Li finally complained a lot less for the rest of the journey.

At the city gate, the two of them paid three copper coins each for the entrance fee and then successfully arrived at the small courtyard of Fortune Mansion’s back kitchen.

After talking to the staff who was busy in the courtyard, Uncle Zhao came out not long after.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li’s sweaty faces, Uncle Zhao quickly waved them to a stone table and asked the staff to bring them some water.

It was not until the two of them had drunk some water and recovered their breath a little that Uncle Zhao began to talk to Qin Xiaoyao.

“The dishes made with Chinese yam have a good reception in our restaurant. I’ve discussed this with the boss, and we’ll have you deliver two hundred catties every other day. If we can’t use them all, we’ll inform you in advance to make adjustments.”

Since that thing could be stored, it didn’t matter if more were sent in one trip.

In addition, ever since the dishes made from Chinese yam had been put on the menu, there were many customers who ordered those dishes.

Some customers liked the food so much that they ordered a second serving.

In this way, it was also prudent to get the kitchen to prepare more Chinese yams on standby.

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up at once.

“Deal! I’ll definitely deliver them on time!” She hurriedly said.

After thinking for a while, she added, “If I really can’t get the quantity, I’ll let you know in advance.”

Uncle Zhao nodded.

He knew that Qin Xiaoyao’s Chinese yams were dug up from the mountains, so the quantity was bound to be limited.
