Chapter 73 The Water-Carrying Dad

"You won't sell it?" Lu Qiniang was stunned. "You want to keep it yourself. That's fine too—look at me, I'm obsessed with money."

She felt a little embarrassed.

How could she forget that Xiao Yan is different from her!

Xiao Yan had been rich before, had seen a lot of things, and his hobbies were different from hers.

Maybe people used to like these things.

Although I am down and out now, I can still get what I want with my own abilities.

Awesome in one word!

Lu Qi Niang had quickly adjusted herself and asked, "Does it need to eat meat? Can it catch prey on its own? Rabbits, pheasants, etc."

"Well, it can support itself. But I don't want to support it myself..."

"Giving it away?"

"I want to redeem myself." Xiao Yan said.

"Redeem me?" Lu Qiniang reacted for a moment and then waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I don't want it! Xiao Yan, I don't want the money you paid to sell your body. Besides, you've already given it to me. I don't want to raise the price to make money. If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. I don't want it, I don't want it!"

It looked very valuable, and she felt uneasy taking it.

"No." Xiao Yan always gets different reactions from her and always makes her smile.

He patiently explained, "The Condor is not for you, but the pair of wild geese are. I used the Condor to redeem myself from the imperial court."

Lu Qiniang didn't understand.

It turns out that the bald eagle is extremely rare, so guilty people can use it to atone for their sins.

"You can be spared from death or redeemed." Xiao Yan explained.

"Then you will be free from now on?" Lu Qinniang was extremely surprised and happy for him from the bottom of her heart. Her eyes were brighter than the lights of the Lantern Festival, and they were full of brilliance.

Xiao Yan looked at her steadily.

He was most moved by Lu Qiniang.

He was moved by her sincerity and surrendered to her affection.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded. "The court has only allowed me to be promoted from a lowly person to a good one, but I am still yours."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Who do you think I am?" Lu Qiniang said cheerfully, "The court doesn't even hold you captive anymore, so why should I?"

"You're not holding me back, I'm willing to do this." Xiao Yan smiled faintly, "Abandoned Mother, have you forgotten? I want to marry you within a month."

Lu Qiniang suddenly became a little flustered.

She lowered her head, avoiding Xiao Yan's burning gaze, "I, I remember now, the princess also told me that I must get married."

"The noble and the humble cannot marry each other." Xiao Yan said, "So I can't marry you. But now, I can."

"You, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have put you through all this trouble. I'd think of a way. You said it was dangerous to go into the mountains, especially in the rain, and it's pitch dark. If I wasn't careful... How could I be so worthy of you?"

"It's not difficult. Besides, even if it is difficult, you have to pay something to get married." There was a gentle smile in Xiao Yan's eyes.

Lu Qiniang didn't dare to look into his eyes again.

She didn't deserve that kind of tenderness and love.

She will misunderstand.

What Xiao Yan was grateful for was her life-saving grace.

That's all.

"Live geese are used to propose marriage. With three matchmakers and six engagements, time is tight and we're in a tight spot. I'm afraid we'll have to put you in a difficult position," Xiao Yan said. "Right now, this pair of live geese is all I can offer."

"That's enough, that's not true." Lu Qiniang said quickly, "You're helping me. If I were to find fault, what kind of person would I be?"

Xiao Yan ate all the leftovers.

Seeing that he didn't look full, Lu Qiniang cooked him another pot of noodles.

Xiao Yan was also swept away.

In the end, Lu Qin's mother was afraid that he would get sick from eating too much, so she stopped him from eating.

Xiao Yan put down his chopsticks obediently.

When he lay down on the warm kang, Xiao Yan sighed, "It's really more comfortable at home."

He didn't like sleeping on the kang before because he thought it was hard and hot.

But now, I'm used to it and I like it.

"Go to sleep," Lu Qiniang said. "Doesn't the divine eagle need to sleep? Even after the lights are blown out, its eyes seem to glow. It's a bit creepy!"

The answer to her was Xiao Yan's even breathing.

He fell asleep.

A dense and subtle emotion surged in Lu Qinniang's heart, filling her heart.

What it was, she couldn't say.

She also closed her eyes, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

Lu Qiniang also had a good sleep.

When San Ya woke up and saw Xiao Yan coming back, she was immediately overjoyed.

"Dad, Dad, Dad!" She threw herself into Xiao Yan's arms, "Where's my wreath? What else did you bring me?"

Xiao Yan pointed at the wreath on the table and said, "Look what that is?"

He got up early today just to weave this for San Ya.

He also bought a pair of rabbits at the market and brought them back.

San Ya was so happy that she pulled the whole family to see her new little rabbit.

Erya snorted and said sarcastically, "What are you looking at? You're the only one who got it, and we don't have it. Be careful, or I'll take a fancy to it and snatch it away from you."

Xiao Yan: "..."

It was his fault. He only remembered the youngest child and forgot about Daya and Erya. In fact, they should also have gifts.

"Why don't you have any?" Lu Qiniang asked, "Look, they're in the chicken coop! A pair of wild geese, one for you and one for Daya."

Xiao Yan: "..."

Arya stamped her feet in anger, "What do I need that for?"

"It was indeed my oversight," Xiao Yan admitted his mistake. "Wait for me for a few days, and I'll buy you a pearl flower, the kind with pearls, the one you like. I saw you looking at Dujuan's pearl flower last time."

To be honest, Doctor Hu is really good to Dujuan.

Although the pearls used in that pearl flower are only a little bigger than rice grains, they look very pretty when put together.

It was Dujuan's birthday gift, and it cost three taels of silver.

Dujuan came twice and put it on her head. Erya said she was not envious, but her eyes almost wanted to snatch it away and put it on her own head.

"Really?" Erya was happy.

But then she felt that it wasn't very good, so she said pretentiously, "Her one is just average, and not worth the money. I don't like it. I have to change to another style."

She doesn't want three taels of silver, she just wants one tael of silver.

Anyway, she is good-looking, and she looks better wearing one tael of silver than others wearing three taels of silver.

"If you can't eat or wear it, why buy that thing? Wait until you make money from business." Lu Qinniang said.

Xiao Yan said, "I'll buy it for you within two months. I'll get it for you three, and your mother too."

Lu Qiniang: "No, there's no need to buy it. Money doesn't come from the wind."

Erya said, "Then Sanya, didn't you get a pair of rabbits for free?"

Xiao Yan: Blame him, it’s all his fault.

"Then I'll give you and Daya an extra ring."

San Ya is still young and doesn't need to wear a ring.

Lu Qiniang: "Xiao Yan, why are you bothering her? Just a kiss on the lips and you've given away several taels of silver. Don't spoil her. Let her do whatever she wants. She'll even want the stars in the sky."

Erya stuck out her tongue at her and said to Xiao Yan, "Dad, we have a deal! I'm waiting!"
