Chapter 18 Marriage Agreement 6
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, Gu Leyou quickly explained: "I know you will do what you say, so I am not worried. It's just that our family has a lot of places to spend money now, so I need to think more about ways to make money that can bring income to our small family."
"I see."
The two of them walked to town.
The town's market was bustling with activity at this time, with the sounds of hawking going on incessantly.
Gu Leyou walked to the jewelry stall, picked up something, took a look at it, and then put it down reluctantly.
Lu Yan took in all of this and asked in confusion, "I see you like that hairpin very much, why don't you buy it?"
Gu Leyou put down the hairpin and explained, "No, there are many places to spend money at home, so I'd better save it. I can buy this later."
Lu Yan nodded.
What a good girl! She has learned to be thrifty before even marrying him.
They walked through the bazaar and came to a pharmacy.
After Lu Yan accompanied her in, he said, "You stay here first. I'll go sell this wild rabbit. I'll come back to find you after I sell it."
Gu Leyou and Lu Yan separated for the time being.
"Okay, Brother Lu, go ahead."
"Shopkeeper, take a look at these grasses. Do you want any?"
As she spoke, Gu Leyou took out the herbs in the backpack and the precious medicinal materials she had taken from the Lingquan space last time.
The owner of the drugstore was very happy to see these high-quality medicinal materials and herbs.
"Little girl, how much do you want to sell this precious medicinal herb for?" asked the pharmacy owner.
Gu Leyou held up two fingers and said, "Boss, I'll sell it for two taels of silver, not a cent more or less."
"Okay, little girl, I promise."
The owner of the drugstore took the herbs and handed Gu Leyou two taels of silver.
After Gu Leyou took the silver, he pointed at the herbs and said, "Boss, you can take these herbs as well. I'll give you a discount. These are all dried by me and can be used as medicine."
"Since the girl is so sincere, I'll accept it. Is 50 cents okay?"
"Sure, no problem."
The shopkeeper took the herbs as well and handed Gu Leyou 50 coins.
"Little girl, please keep this money."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
This is Lu Yan.
He took the wild rabbit to the butcher.
The butcher saw him and the two of them chatted enthusiastically.
"My dear little brother, you are here again. Today you brought me a wild rabbit. How much do you plan to sell it for?" the butcher asked with a smile.
"This wild rabbit is quite plump. You can give it to me as you see fit. I know it's not easy for you to run this stall. You have elderly parents and young children to support. Your family's livelihood depends on this stall."
"Okay, then I'll give you two taels of silver. After all, it's not easy for you to go hunting in the mountains."
Just like that, the butcher took out two taels of silver from a small box and handed it to Lu Yan. Lu Yan took the silver and said, "Thank you. I'll bring you some more next time I go hunting."
The butcher smiled and agreed.
Lu Yan got the money and went to the jewelry stall he had been to before.
"My husband, please take a look at these jewels. Buy one and bring it back for your wife to wear. Your wife will definitely be very happy."
The lady selling jewelry said with a smile.
"Auntie, I want this. Please see how much it costs."
"This ten cents is the most beautiful hairpin I have here. If you take it back to your wife, she will be very happy."
Lu Yan nodded subconsciously and responded: "Well, she will definitely like it."
The two met at the extreme corner.
Gu Leyou shared with him the gains from selling medicinal herbs.
"Brother Lu, I earned two taels of silver and fifty coins today. I plan to use this money to buy some radish seeds. This season is a good time to plant radishes."
"Okay, I know where it is. I'll take you there. I just bought some vegetables and planted them on the vacant land at our house. You can take care of them when you marry me."
Having said that, he pulled Gu Leyou to the stall selling seeds.
There was an old man selling seeds in front of the stall, and there were four big words "Seed Shop" written on it.
Gu Leyou and Lu Yan stood there and asked, "Old man, do you have any radish seeds?"
Thinking that there was finally some business, the stall owner introduced the stall to them enthusiastically.
"Yes, little girl, I have several kinds here, including big radish seeds, small radish seeds, and some other vegetable seeds. Take a look and see which ones you need."
Looking at these seeds, Gu Leyou didn't know how to choose. She really had no knowledge of planting.
So she asked Lu Yan for his opinion.
"Brother Lu, how much do you think I should buy?" Gu Leyou asked.
"I think you shouldn't just plant radishes, plant a little bit of every vegetable. Ask the old man what vegetables he grows this season and buy a little more. I'll do the same."
The old man listened to their conversation and took the initiative to say, "These are all things that can be planted in this season. You can buy a little bit and try to plant them at home. If they don't grow well, you can return them for a refund."
After listening to the old man's assurance, Gu Leyou and his friends bought a small bag of each kind of seeds, and they could make use of the vacant space in their own yard.
After buying the seeds, they planned to go back.
Gu Leyou spent a total of 50 cents on these seeds, which was just the money he earned from selling herbs. After these seeds grew into radishes and other vegetables, he could sell the vegetables for money.
The two of them took a ride on a donkey cart owned by a fellow villager.
After returning to the village entrance, Lu Yan planned to separate from Gu Leyou.
When he turned to leave, Gu Leyou called him.
"Brother Lu, wait a minute. I want to go back with you to see Xiao Yao and talk about what's next."
"Okay, let's go together."
In this way, the two of them walked side by side on the road at the entrance of the village again.
Walking and chatting.
The villagers passing by were no longer surprised to see the two of them, because the whole village knew about them.
"Brother Lu, our wedding date has been set by our elders. It should be in half a month. Originally it was scheduled for three days, but my mother said that three days was too tight and she wouldn't have time to prepare some necessary things for me. After much persuasion, my grandma agreed to postpone the wedding by half a month." Gu Leyou told Lu Yan the situation at home truthfully.
"Three days is indeed too rushed. Half a month is just right. In fact, I think if you don't want to, we can discuss and find a way to cancel the wedding date. After all, there is no love between us."
Gu Leyou heard the other person say this and thought that he was going to regret it, so he asked with some disappointment: "Do you really not want to get married? If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Hearing this, Lu Yan knew that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I'm not regretting it, I'm just afraid that you will suffer with me."
