After Ji Yuan brought out the rope, Su Qinghe cut off the wild boar's front and hind legs, tied them with the rope, and gave them to Liu Erniang to take back.
Su Qinghe only planned to keep one leg of the remaining wild boar meat; she wanted to take the rest to the city to sell while it was still fresh.
She wanted to earn enough money as soon as possible to buy a house in the city.
"My lady, one more soup and we can eat!" Lin Xi went into the kitchen again.
"My lady, let me help you change your clothes!" Ji Yuan stepped forward, looked at Su Qinghe, and said softly.
"Okay!"
The two entered the house, and Su Qinghe took out the new clothes she had bought yesterday.
"Why aren't you wearing the new clothes I gave you yesterday?" Su Qinghe noticed that Ji Yuan was still wearing the old clothes from yesterday when she changed her own clothes.
"Xiao Xi hasn't put it on yet. I came in later than him... that's not proper..." Ji Yuan said gently. He didn't expect Su Qinghe to ask this.
"Xiao Xi?" Su Qinghe then remembered that she had bought clothes for Lin Xi.
"I was so busy last night that I forgot and haven't had a chance to give it to him yet!"
"Besides, our family isn't some high-class or wealthy family, so we don't have that many rules."
“I treat you all equally and will not mistreat anyone because of their status. You can do as you please at home!” Su Qinghe insisted on serving water.
"Yes! Ah Yuan understands!"
Ji Yuan's voice was clear and gentle, like a clear stream, with a slight hoarseness, as if a feather lightly brushed against the heart.
Su Qinghe felt a tingling sensation in her heart as she listened, and she couldn't help but swallow.
Damn it, when did her self-control become so weak! Are all women in this world so lustful?
Ji Yuan kept his head down and didn't hear Su Qinghe's instructions for a while. He looked up and met her eyes, paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and lowered his head again.
He was no longer the naive boy he once was; he recognized that look in his eyes.
The wife is thinking...
"Weren't you going to help me change my clothes? What are you standing there for?"
Ji Yuan originally thought Su Qinghe would come over and hug him, but he didn't expect her to say something like that.
Why...aren't women all driven by desire?
He didn't believe Su Qinghe was not, otherwise Lin Xi wouldn't have suffered so much last night.
But why is she holding back...? She really does dislike him... she just doesn't say it!
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but tear up.
"Don't cry, Ji Yuan. You're not a teenager anymore. Crying won't win a woman's pity; it will only annoy her!"
He took a deep breath, forcing back the tears that were about to spill. He reached out and placed his hand steadily on Su Qinghe's belt.
In autumn, people wear thick clothes, and the wild boar's blood only soaked Su Qinghe's outer garment, so she didn't ask Ji Yuan to change her inner garment.
...
"Is Qingyu feeling any better today?"
Qingyu is the name of Ji Yuan's younger brother.
At the dinner table, Su Qinghe suddenly remembered that there was still a person unconscious in the house.
"I've given her two doses of medicine since last night. Although she's still unconscious, she looks much better than before!"
Ji Yuan said in a low voice.
"That's good. I'll go into town this afternoon to sell the wild boar. Xiao Xi isn't feeling well, so I'll take him to the doctor. You'll have to stay home alone to take care of him!"
Lin Xi was always worried about the child, and Su Qinghe was afraid that he would overthink it, so she decided to take him to the clinic today.
"Don't worry, my lady, I will take good care of him!"
Ji Yuan nodded obediently, his gaze falling on Lin Xi beside Su Qinghe. He roughly guessed what was wrong with Lin Xi, and felt even more disappointed.
His wife is truly a rare and wonderful wife! He should be happy!
Tianhe County, Piaoxiang Tower.
Su Qinghe dragged the wild boar directly to the entrance of Piaoxianglou, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
"Look, what a huge wild boar! It must weigh at least 300 pounds!"
"More than that, I think it weighs 400 jin! This lady looks so refined, I never expected she could kill such a big wild boar!"
Centered around the oxcart, a crowd of onlookers gathered, with people constantly squeezing in. Su Qinghe frowned and pulled Lin Xi closer to her.
"Hey! Isn't this Su the Gambler?"
A boastful voice suddenly came from the crowd, and then a short woman, who looked to be only about 1.5 meters tall, squeezed out.
Su Qinghe recognized her: Bao Min, the original owner's former gambling opponent, and also the daughter of the owner of the original owner's former restaurant, now Zuixianglou.
"Are you out of money? Planning to go into the mountains and become a hunter?"
Bao Min arrogantly circled the wild boar once, mocking it.
"How much for this wild boar? Why not sell it cheaply to my Drunken Fragrance Restaurant? I'll personally hire you as a waiter there, hahaha!"
"Idiot!" Su Qinghe didn't even bother to acknowledge her.
"You dare to insult me?" Bao Min's smile vanished, her face darkening. Although she didn't know what "mentally challenged" meant, she didn't believe Su Qinghe was praising her.
"Hmph! Hunting is a dangerous game, you think you'll always be lucky enough to catch a wild boar? You might die on the mountain any day! Giving you a job is out of pity, you're really asking for it. Bah!"
Seeing Bao Min's saliva spraying towards them, Su Qinghe quickly pulled Lin Xi back a few steps.
Although, given Bao Min's height, the saliva only reached a little below her chest.
“You can have this wild boar!” Su Qinghe suddenly said.
"Hmph, what, you've figured it out?" Bao Min heard Su Qinghe suddenly change her tune and assumed that she had been enlightened by his words, so he became smug again.
Seeing her smug expression, Su Qinghe curled the corners of her lips and continued:
"You can have this wild boar, but it's not for sale, nor is it a free gift!"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Bao Min asked, frowning.
“Let’s bet, let’s bet on rolling dice!” Su Qinghe said.
"Master Wife!"
Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise, gripping Su Qinghe's hand tightly, his whole body beginning to tremble slightly.
Is it possible that after only two days, the wife will revert to her old ways?
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Su Qinghe pulled Lin Xi closer to her and gently patted his back to comfort him.
Despite this, Lin Xi couldn't stop trembling. He was truly afraid, afraid that his gentle wife would revert to her former fierce self, but he was powerless to stop it.
When Bao Min heard that Su Qinghe wanted to gamble with her again, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Gambling? Hahahaha, Su Qinghe, you really never learn! You just got some money and you want to gamble again. What? Haven't you lost enough to me yet?"
"Have you laughed enough? So, are you going to gamble or not?" Su Qinghe asked after she calmed down.
"I bet! I'll bet 300 taels!"
Bao Min, looking confident of victory, pulled out three silver notes from his pocket and slapped them onto the oxcart with a "thud".
"No, I won't gamble with you!" Su Qinghe shook her head.
"Not gambling? Then tell me what you want to gamble on?" Bao Min stuffed the silver note back into her hand.
"If I lose, this wild boar is yours; if you lose, you give me the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion as collateral!"
