What do you need a knife for...

Su Wei also looked at Chen Yan, thinking that this guy wanted a knife, maybe he wanted to stab him?

But then she felt that her worries were unnecessary. She posed no threat to Chen Yan now. On the contrary, Shen Yan still had the upper hand over her. Moreover, they lived together day and night, so Chen Yan had countless opportunities to kill her without using a knife.

So, what does he need a knife for?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with ambiguous expressions, Chen Yan smiled and said, "Self-defense."

Self-defense?

Han Yu and Tietou looked at each other. Obviously, neither of them thought that there was any danger that needed to be guarded against with a knife.

"Our village is close to the mountains, and wild animals often roam around in the winter. We don't have much firewood at home, so I always have to go up the mountain to chop it."

"So that's how it is."

There was nothing wrong with what Chen Yan said. Tietou said that buying a knife required reporting to the government and paying taxes, but it was not impossible to get it from somewhere else.

After the two sides had discussed it, Su Wei and Shen Yan left.

Tietou looked at their backs and asked Han Yu, "Brother, how did you get to know these two people?"

"Chen Yan is from Nanqiao Village, so she knows everything about him. Su Wei is a refugee from famine, a weak woman, so there's nothing wrong with her."

Tietou nodded: "That's fine. I just melted a knife and will have it forged in the next two days. I'll give it to them later."

Han Yu nodded. Tietou saw the food in his hand again, picked up a piece of rice candy and started eating.

"It's delicious." Tietou is not very old, and is at the age where he loves to eat and play. Han Yu snatched a piece from his hand and put it in his mouth.

Not only is Su Weiren beautiful, but the food she cooks is also delicious.

What's wrong with her being a little fickle?

It's not unforgivable.

Han Yu felt that Doctor Han was exaggerating, as Su Wei was obviously in good health.

Seeing him like this, Tietou shook his head helplessly.

There were not many people in the town at this time, so the two men did not set up a stall. They just waited there for a while. Han Yu came out and sent Su Wei and the others back in a ox cart.

When Chen Yan got on the bus, Han Yu suddenly saw the lamb on his waist and his eyes lit up: "What is this?"

Chen Yan "..."

This is his lucky lamb!!!

If I had known this, I would have hidden it so that these people wouldn’t see it.

Han Yu looked at Chen Yan expectantly: "Can I take a look?"

It looks much more interesting than a wallet.

Although Chen Yan was reluctant to part with it, he still picked it up. The more Han Yu looked at it, the more he liked it.

“Where did you buy this?”

Chen Yan: "Su Wei made them and sold them for thirty cents each."

Han Yu asked, "Use wool?"

"Um."

Han Yu's face was filled with desire. He turned to Su Wei in the car and said, "Do you still have Lamb? I want to buy one too."

Su Wei said: "This is what I did. It takes time."

"I'm not afraid of waiting."

He wanted it so badly. If he wore new clothes and this thing during the Chinese New Year, he would definitely be the most handsome guy in the village!!!

Han Yu looked at Su Wei expectantly, so Su Wei asked, "Do you have a favorite animal? Or what's your zodiac sign?"

Han Yu thought for a moment and said, "Make me a calf."

Han Yu loves his cow the most.

Su Wei nodded.

Chen Yan held his lamb tightly. All of them were sold, but the lamb was given to him by Su Wei, and it was also the first gift Su Wei made for him, so the meaning was completely different.

Han Yu sent them back to the village and left.

Su Wei made some hot soup, and the hot food dispelled the cold.

Su Wei sorted out the things he bought. The house was short of everything, and the money he earned was soon running out.

Chen Yan watched her take out the items one by one and looked at them while planning their uses.

"After the New Year, when I make some money, I'm going to buy a cabinet to store my things."

Su Wei took a look at the bed. Actually, she thought it was small, but when she thought about Chen Yan moving out in the spring, she felt that the bed was not too small.

After sorting out the things, the two of them were busy frying fried dough twists. After a few days, Su Wei's fried dough twists sold very well. The best time was when she sold more than one or two taels of silver in a day, and she still made one or two taels of silver after deducting the cost.

The knife that Chen Yan wanted was also good. It was a short knife less than two feet long. It was quite convenient to carry and very sharp.

Chen Yan was very satisfied, but Su Wei was very curious. Did he have money to buy a knife?

In fact, Chen Yan really had some. He took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to Tietou. Tietou weighed it with a small scale and returned the rest to Chen Yan.

Before leaving, Tietou reminded Pei Zhuo: "Once the knife is sold, it has nothing to do with us."

Chen Yan said he understood.

After coming out, Su Wei couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get the money?"

After saying this, he remembered that the original owner was thinking about Chen Yan's money. Just as he was about to explain, Chen Yan said, "My mother gave it to me."

Chen's mother has a silver bracelet, which was a token of love given to her by her father. It is said that in order to buy this bracelet, her father stayed in the mountains for several months, caught a blind bear, and sold the bear to have enough money to buy the bracelet.

But it was also because of this injury that Shen's father developed a chronic illness and died within a few years.

Mother Shen liked this bracelet very much. She was reluctant to wear it normally for fear of it being worn out. She was reluctant to take it out even in difficult times.

Until Chen Yan got into trouble.

Mother Shen felt like the sky was falling at that time.

The silver given by the quarry was all used for medical treatment, and there was nothing left before Shen's mother died. This bracelet was originally intended to be given to the original owner, but Shen Yan kept it and said he would give it to her himself.

Mother Shen didn’t say anything.

only…

"You destroyed Aunt Shen's bracelet?" Su Wei looked at him in shock. That was probably the only thought that Shen's father and mother left him.

Chen Yan, however, held the knife in his hand and said very calmly, "It's just a dead object."

“It makes sense…”

"What's the point?" Chen Yan's face suddenly turned cold: "People are dead, what can these dead things do?"

If it weren't for this shit, his father wouldn't have died, his brother wouldn't have joined the army, his brother wouldn't have died, his mother wouldn't have fallen ill, he wouldn't have gone to the quarry, and his leg wouldn't have been broken...

None of this will happen.

It's all because of this damn bracelet!!!

So, what's the point of these dead things? Can they be more important than living people?

Su Wei was frightened by the hostility in his eyes and didn't know what to say.

Chen Yan sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."

Chen Yan apologizes to her.

This is more terrifying than scolding her.

The two returned home in silence. When Su Wei was upset, he wanted to find something to do. Chen Yan touched the knife lovingly and even found a piece of cloth to wipe it carefully.

Su Wei: "...really just to chop wood?"

Why is she so unconvinced?

Chen Yan remained silent for a moment before whispering, "Of course, what else can I do?"

Su Wei “…”

You look like you're ready to kill someone at any moment.
