After Qin Xiaoxiao tidied up the space, she had a clear idea of ​​what was in it, and she counted on her fingers.

Ginseng can sell for seven or eight thousand, and the four-piece set is tentatively priced at fifty-one sets. After all, things are valued for their rarity. Qin Xiaoxiao is not interested in these colors, but they are still very vibrant for people living in this era, and there must be many people who want to buy them.

There are twenty sets of four-piece sets, which would cost 1,000 yuan.

In addition, the fifty watches that were taken out could be sold for a high price of ten thousand yuan. All of these together could be sold for about eighteen or nineteen thousand yuan. Adding the money in the space, it would exceed fifty thousand yuan.

Thinking that she had 50,000 yuan in 1975, Qin Xiaoxiao almost laughed herself to death.

With so much money, plus those big yellow croakers, jewelry, and antiques, she's now quite wealthy.

Su Lu looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, who was laughing and lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), with a complicated expression.

Although his wife didn't say anything, he knew that the origin of her online space was not as simple as she claimed, and that she was hiding something from him.

He didn't want to pry into her secrets, nor did he want to know how she came to have her space. He was only afraid that she would suddenly leave this place and leave this world.

Thinking that his wife would leave him one day, Su Lu's face darkened. He hugged Qin Xiaoxiao and pressed her onto the kang (a heated brick bed). He pulled the quilt over his head, and another night of rolling around in the red quilt ensued.

The next day, Su Lu had a day off and didn't have to go to work. When he woke up in the morning, he woke Qin Xiaoxiao up and asked her to take out some wontons from her space and cook them.

While the wontons were cooking, Su Lu ran to the yard to sweep the floor, making sure it was clean. The wontons were cooked by then.

He woke Qin Xiaoxiao up, tossed her a wet towel to wipe her face, and then went out to get the wontons.

Qin Xiaoxiao was still half asleep, her face full of resentment. Su Lu was afraid that his wife would get angry, so he quickly apologized and coaxed Qin Xiaoxiao to eat breakfast.

After finishing a bowl of hot wontons, Qin Xiaoxiao finally felt better and didn't find Su Lu so unpleasant anymore.

The work bell rang, and Qin Xiaoxiao got out of bed, put on her shoes, put on the clothes Su Lu had prepared, waved to Su Lu, and said, "I'm going to work. You wash the clothes, and we'll eat at my grandma's for lunch and dinner."

Before Su Lu could speak, Qin Xiaoxiao took out the yogurt she had made yesterday from her spatial storage. "Drink this, I'm leaving."

Su Lu took the yogurt and put it aside, then quickly stopped the person, saying, "I'm at home, there's no need for you to go to work, I'll go."

Seeing that Su Lu was about to rush out while he was talking, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him.

"No, no, no, you mustn't go. You know I go to work to gossip. I feel restless if I don't hear the village gossip for a day."

Aunt Liu and Aunt Song are still waiting for me, I have to go.

Su Lu followed Qin Xiaoxiao out, saying, "Why don't you go and gather pig feed? Didn't you gather pig feed when I was here? It's not tiring."

Qin Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "Weeding isn't tiring, I'll go weed."

She wanted to gather pig feed, but she was more interested in hearing gossip. If Su Lu were with her, she would be willing to gather pig feed, but on her own, she decided against it. She would rather be tired than be alone.

Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Su Lu thought for a moment, then turned around, ran into the house, drank the yogurt, tidied up, locked the door, and ran out with Qin Xiaoxiao.

When they arrived at the work site, Su Lu handed Qin Xiaoxiao to Aunt Liu and Aunt Song, and said to them with a grin, "Please keep an eye on my wife for me. Just let her chat with you. Don't let her do any work. I'll take care of her."

Aunt Liu and Aunt Song exchanged a glance, their eyes full of smiles.

"Wow! Little Su has really learned her lesson now, she even knows to go to the fields to earn work points!"

"Su Lu, weren't you unable to work a few days ago? How come you're working today? Are you worried about your wife?"

Aunt Liu's eyes were full of teasing, but her gaze towards Su Lu was full of affection.

He knows how to cherish his wife, which makes him a good person, and he's not as bad as the villagers say.

Su Lu waved his hand, "I have to keep working even if I can't. I can't just rest and let my wife go to the fields to earn work points, can I? What would that make me? Would I be seen as a freeloader?"

Although he's living off a woman now, nobody knows that. He can't openly live off a woman. He's not afraid of being laughed at, but he's afraid of the villagers gossiping about Qin Xiaoxiao behind his back when he's not around.

Even with Captain Qin Feng protecting him, he can't stop people from talking behind his back, can he? There will always be places where he can't see where someone will bully his wife.

Aunt Song laughed and said, "Su Lu really knows how to treat his wife well, unlike some of the men in the village who treat us women like animals, thinking we don't get tired. We're human too, we get tired too!"

"Exactly, some of the men in the village are just outrageous. They're always either yelling at their wives or beating them, like that family over there..."

The topic was thus sparked, and Qin Xiaoxiao had already moved closer to the two aunties, sitting obediently on a small stool to listen to the gossip, and casually handing a handful of melon seeds to Aunt Liu and Aunt Song.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Song were used to Qin Xiaoxiao always having various snacks in her pocket, so they took the sunflower seeds and started eating them.

"Just last night, Mai's wife cried and wailed all night again."

"What happened? Did you get hit again?"

"Absolutely! He beat her really hard. Just hearing the sound made my heart tremble. Tsk tsk tsk, this Boss Mai is too ruthless. How could he bear to beat his wife like that?"

"Isn't he afraid of killing someone? The Li family had five deaths a few days ago, why hasn't he taught them a lesson yet? What if his wife gets angry..."

"Oh my! Don't even mention it. Just thinking about the Li family sends chills down my spine. Look at me, my hair is standing on end."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded and rolled up her sleeves to show the two aunties, "Me too, I'm getting goosebumps, don't even mention it."

"By the way, why did Boss Mai beat his wife again?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what else could it be? Because she didn't give him a son, of course."

"Speaking of which, Old Master Mai had four daughters but no sons. How could he not be angry? Sigh!"

"That's right. They've been married for ten years, haven't they? She hasn't given Boss Mai a son in ten years. No wonder he beats his wife when he's angry."

"But you can't blame Mai's wife for this. Whether a child is a boy or a girl isn't up to the woman; that's a man's job."

Qin Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity to interject.

Qin Xiaoxiao's words immediately piqued the interest of Aunt Liu and Aunt Song.

"What are you saying? How can it not have anything to do with women? Doesn't the child come out of the woman's womb? Whether it's a boy or a girl is up to the woman to decide."

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "No, that's not true. I learned about it in school. Our teacher knew everything. He said that whether a child is a boy or a girl is the man's business. He didn't quite understand what kind of genes or chromosomes it was caused by, but that's roughly the idea."

Aunt Liu and Aunt Song exchanged a glance. "Really?"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's right. Think about it, as the saying goes, you reap what you sow. A woman's belly is like a field; whatever you plant, you will reap. If you plant a watermelon, you can still grow potatoes."

So, what kind of child a man has is up to him; it has nothing to do with us women.

God help me, I hope this explanation will take the villagers seriously and make them understand that the sex of a child has nothing to do with the woman, and that the men in the village will stop beating their wives over this issue. (End of Chapter)
