The blacksmith's yard was not big, and the young man driving the cart started shouting "Iron Head, Iron Head" as soon as he entered.

A dark and strong young man came out of the house upon hearing the noise, ran over and said with a smile: "Why are you here, kid?"

He saw Su Wei, and the two men looked at each other, revealing an expression that they both understood...

Su Wei: "..."

The young man driving the cart said, "This girl wants to buy a stove, so I brought her here."

Tietou winked and smiled: "Okay, my master just beat up a few, come with me."

In the cool room to the east, there were several stoves, similar to modern charcoal stoves. The ancient blacksmiths' craftsmanship was truly extraordinary. The stoves were made of solid materials, and some even had patterns on them. Su Wei chose a plain, simple one that looked the cheapest and asked, "How much is this?"

"This one costs two taels of silver."

Su Wei: "What?"

Two taels of silver is equivalent to two thousand yuan today, why not rob it...

Tietou smiled and said, "This is already very cheap. Iron is expensive to begin with. There's been a war on the border recently, and the control is very strict..."

After he talked a lot, Su Wei finally decided to buy it. Even if it was expensive, it was better than freezing to death.

She took out the silver that Wang Po had taken, Tietou took a small scale to weigh it, found a pair of scissors to cut off the excess, and returned it to Su Wei.

Su Wei put away the silver, and the young man driving the cart picked up the stove. He looked thin, but he was actually very strong. He smiled and told Tietou that he would treat him to a drink later, and then the two of them left.

The young man driving the cart was afraid that she would think too much, so he explained, "This is also ours. If you have money elsewhere, you can't buy this iron stove."

Su Wei remembered that iron was a scarce resource in ancient times. Because it could be used to make weapons, most iron mines were controlled by the imperial court. The iron that flowed into the people was only used to make farm tools. As for weapons and knives, don't even think about it. Even buying a hatchet or an axe had to be reported to the government.

The young man driving the cart said that the blacksmith shop has a quota of iron every year, and a stove like this one requires a lot of iron, so it is sold at a higher price.

But he didn't expect that Su Wei really had the money to buy it.

Su Wei heard something else from his words, and she couldn't help asking, "Are you familiar with this place?"

The young man driving the cart said, "Of course, I grew up here, and..." He whispered, "Tietou and I often go to the border and get some things there. If the shop doesn't have cotton later, I'll go get it for you."

Su Wei: "..."

"Well...thank you. I don't know what your name is?"

The young man driving the cart said, "My name is Han Yu."

"My...my name is Su Wei."

"Su Wei, what a nice name..."

Han Yu's face clearly showed that he was interested in Su Wei. Su Wei was not a fool, but she had no choice. It was Chen Yan's fault for being so useless. The scholar was referring to him as useless.

He even gave her the cold shoulder, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Han Yu moved the stove onto the ox cart. He also wanted to accompany Su Wei to buy cloth. Su Wei wanted to refuse, but then she thought that she was unfamiliar with the place. What if the cloth shop owner cheated her?

Why……

Su Wei thought to himself, I'm sorry, Brother Han, I can only use you.

With Han Yu's help, Su Wei was lucky enough to buy a cotton-padded jacket. It was made by a previous customer, but after the jacket was finished, the customer was pregnant and fat, so she couldn't wear it, so she had to sell it here. The material was solid and the stitching was very good. Su Wei almost cried when she wore this tacky floral jacket. It was so warm...

The cotton-padded clothes cost a lot of money. Su Wei thought of the bad Chen Yan, and bought a piece of defective cloth with a darker color, and some rice, flour, charcoal and other things, so he had little money left.

This time the ox cart can only be delivered to the Shen family.

Occasionally, villagers who went out to sweep the snow saw it and looked at it in confusion, but when they looked at Su Wei again, their eyes had changed.

Su Wei didn't bother to care. She had too many lice and was not afraid of the itchiness. She was about to die, so why should she care what others thought?

Finally they arrived at the Shen family. Han Yu helped unload the things. In addition to the money for the ox cart, Su Wei also paid for his labor.

They already have their own agenda. If you don't give them money, they'll have to give them something else.

Han Yu also noticed it and silently took the money.

He glanced at the house where Su Wei lived. It was a few dilapidated adobe houses that looked very poor. Moreover, they had been back for so long. No one came out of the house. As he had guessed, Su Wei's family was not doing well. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Su Wei.

Seeing that he was standing there without moving, Su Wei thought that he had helped a lot and should ask him to come in for a drink of water, but there was no firewood left at home.

Han Yu didn't care and wanted to help set up the stove. Su Weiyi thought that Chen Yan had poor legs and feet and might not be able to do this job, so he nodded.

The stove was set up in Su Wei's room. Han Yu's face turned red as he entered the room. After all, it was a girl's room. Su Wei was afraid of misunderstanding, so she opened the door and used a stool to block it for fear of being blown by the wind.

After a busy period, the two of them finally set up the stove. Han Yu skillfully lit the fire and added charcoal, and the room soon became warm. They put the kettle on the stove and the room became warm.

After tinkering for so long, Han Yu's face and hands were covered with black charcoal, so Su Wei went to get some water.

"Brother Han, wash your hands."

Because he was not working properly, Su Wei took off the scarf that was covering his face.

Han Yu was stunned when he saw her face, and he lowered his head to wash his hands for a long while. He washed very slowly. Su Wei had no idea that this big brother had almost decided on the name of their future child in the time it took him to wash his hands. Han Yu was thinking that he would go out and inquire about Su Wei's situation, and then find a matchmaker to propose marriage...

Just as I washed my hands and was about to leave, a loud noise suddenly came from the next room.
