Qin Erya went directly to the black market and found out the price of the mountain products, and also agreed on a time for the transaction.
After finding out the details, Qin Erzhu hurried back, intending to tell Su Lu that evening.
Upon hearing this, Su Lu thought, "Good heavens, another one who's going to trade on the black market."
Why are women these days so capable?
Su Lu narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Qin Erzhu waited for a while before Su Lu said, "The transaction is scheduled for tomorrow?"
Qin Erzhu nodded. "Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, at the small dilapidated temple outside the county town."
Su Lu nodded upon hearing this. "Okay, I understand. You can stay home and sleep tomorrow. Leave this to me. You can continue following up the day after tomorrow. Let me know if anything happens. If I'm not home, just tell your sister-in-law."
After saying that, Su Lu took out twenty yuan from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Take this money. I don't have time lately. Be careful when you and Er Gou go up the mountain. Also, try not to go to the black market. It's not safe there lately. Use this money for now. Let me know when you run out of money."
Qin Erzhu pushed the money back, saying, "Brother, how can I take your money? My sister-in-law is pregnant, and my niece will be born after the Lunar New Year. There will be many expenses then, and I'm a bachelor, so I won't need much money."
Su Lu rolled her eyes at Qin Erzhu, "Do you think I don't know? You've been in a bad mood since last month, no, since Er Gou got married. Isn't it because you don't have a wife that you're making a fuss?"
Take this money and hurry up and find someone. Don't wait until our kids are old enough to run errands and you still don't know where your wife is.
After Su Lu finished speaking, he got up and left, giving Qin Erzhu no time to react. By the time Qin Erzhu wanted to chase after him, Su Lu had already disappeared.
Qin Erzhu was so moved!
He was in a bad mood a few days ago and didn't talk much. Even his mother didn't notice, but his brother took it to heart.
Clutching two ten-yuan bills, Qin Erzhu secretly vowed that he would follow Qin Erya closely tomorrow and not delay his brother's business.
When they got home, Qin Xiaoxiao was still asleep. Su Lu glanced at her and went out again.
He lit the iron stove in the yard, put in water, and threw in two sweet potatoes. The fire was too strong, so he had to turn them over frequently to prevent them from burning.
When Qin Xiaoxiao woke up, she was drooling from the aroma.
"Honey, are you roasting sweet potatoes? Are they ready yet? I want some."
After sleeping for two hours, Qin Xiaoxiao was hungry again. It was only afternoon, and if she ate again, it would be her third meal.
Su Lu reluctantly put the sweet potato into a bowl and handed it to Qin Xiaoxiao, saying, "It's just right, be careful it's hot."
The sweet potato skin had already been peeled off, and Su Lu thoughtfully put a spoon in for her.
Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Su Lu, "The essence of eating roasted melon is to peel it as you eat it. What you did was peel it all off and even put a spoon in it. How am I supposed to eat it?"
Su Lu smiled and patted Qin Xiaoxiao's head. "You've got so many things to do. Hurry up and eat."
Qin Xiaoxiao stopped talking, rolled her eyes at Su Lu, and started eating.
After eating two sweet potatoes, Qin Xiaoxiao felt completely refreshed.
Su Lu took the bowl away to wash it. After washing it, he poured the boiled water into the thermos and had Qin Xiaoxiao put it into her space. Then he put another kettle of water on the stove and waited for it to boil.
"I just went to find Erzhu."
Su Lu told Qin Erzhu and Qin Ergou about his request to keep an eye on Qin Erya, and then recounted what Qin Erzhu had told him earlier that day.
"That's roughly the situation. In my opinion, Qin Erya is probably not the female lead; at most, she's just a supporting character. But we can't be careless; we need to observe further."
Qin Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "You're right. If it were the female lead, she would probably have already made a scene by now. She wouldn't be so timid, only asking her parents to separate from the family without making a strong demand. If it were the female lead, she would have already separated the family after being reborn for so long."
God is protecting the female lead. He will help her achieve whatever she wants. Now, half a year has passed, but Qin Erya has not been able to separate from the family yet, which proves that the chances of her being the female lead are not high.
"Judging from this, Qin Erya should be a supporting female character. I just don't know which book she's from."
"Qin Er Ya is still young. According to the timeline, she should be in the fifth book, but she's not in the fifth book!"
Qin Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She took out the book again and looked at the notes, but there was no Qin Erya at all.
The couple's expressions turned serious again.
If the characters in the five books can still keep track of Qin Erya's movements, then...
Five minutes later, Qin Xiaoxiao seemed to have figured it out. She sighed and said, "It's already like this. We have no other choice but to take it one step at a time."
Since we already have five female leads, one more won't make a difference. Maybe the one with the spatial ability we meet today will be the female lead!
Qin Xiaoxiao was thoroughly annoyed by all these troubles of the female lead, and she didn't want to think about it anymore, so she dragged Su Lu to the Qin family.
Su Yun is also pregnant, and her belly is showing now. The two pregnant women got together to talk about their babies and had a very pleasant chat.
The two didn't go back until evening. They didn't eat at the Qin family's house. The Qin family was having fish that day, but Qin Xiaoxiao didn't like the fishy smell, so she didn't stay to eat.
When they got home, Qin Xiaoxiao pouted with envy.
"I really envy Su Yun. She can still eat fish even when she's pregnant. I used to throw up at the mere taste of it."
Su Lu chuckled and pulled Qin Xiaoxiao into his arms, kissing her cheek. "She's your sister-in-law, do you really expect her to vomit like you?"
But then again, you only couldn't stand the smell of fish; everything else was fine. You didn't vomit much, and you didn't suffer much.
Su Lu touched Qin Xiaoxiao's belly, a look of affection flashing in his eyes.
"These two little rascals are quite well-behaved and haven't caused you much trouble, otherwise I would have spanked them when they got out."
Qin Xiaoxiao pouted, "I'm just afraid you'll miss your daughter when you see her."
Su Lu knew immediately that Qin Xiaoxiao was jealous, so he quickly comforted her.
"They are not as important as you. In my heart, you are the one I love the most."
Qin Xiaoxiao squinted at Su Lu, "Really?"
Su Lu nodded and assured him, "Of course it's true. I love you the most in this life, and I will still love you the most in the next life, and I will love you the life after that. I will love you the most in all my lifetimes."
Having heard what she wanted to hear, Qin Xiaoxiao finally let him go.
The couple couldn't help but kiss each other, which made Su Lu angry and almost did something wrong. In the end, he had no choice but to fetch a bucket of cold water in the yard and take a bath. Only after he warmed up did he go inside and sleep with Qin Xiaoxiao.
The next day, Su Lu took Qin Xiaoxiao for a walk around the yard. They ate the food that had been prepared in his space before. After eating, Su Lu went to work.
Before leaving, Su Lu was worried and told Qin Xiaoxiao to stay at home and wait for him to come back in the evening to discuss anything. He absolutely forbade her to go with that educated youth surnamed Jiang alone, and he also forbade her to go to see Qin Erya. Otherwise, she would suffer when he came back.
