Normally, Brother Zhang only buys meat once a month when he's off work.
Or they might buy a little during holidays, but not at other times.
"After you and Brother Zhang have a child, you'll definitely buy meat every now and then."
Wei Yuyan said with a mischievous smile.
"Probably."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua thought for a moment and nodded, unable to help but laugh, as the child was nowhere to be seen.
The village chief's house~
"Cuifang, I've seen you embroidering this sachet for several days now. Who is it for? Young Master Sun?"
Even the village chief's wife couldn't resist gossiping a bit.
"Yes, that's right. I stood him up last time, so I thought I'd give him a sachet as an apology."
Besides, my embroidery of sachets is the best; he'll definitely love it.
Liu Cuifang never had to go out or work in the fields since she was a child; she mostly stayed at home embroidering, and her embroidery skills were excellent.
Her best embroidery was of sachets, but she was rather lazy and didn't embroider them often.
Otherwise, one could earn at least a hundred coins a month, if not several hundred.
"Yes, it's really beautiful."
The village chief's wife looked at the sachet in her daughter's hand and felt a little proud.
Such beautiful sachets are so exquisite that you won't find another girl in the whole village who can embroider them.
The day before the market day
Wei Yuyan got back on Brother Zhang's oxcart, and the village immediately became lively again.
"Are you saying they don't know how to avoid suspicion?"
"If you ask me, this just proves that they have nothing to hide and are completely innocent."
"Exactly, if they really were having an affair, would Xiuhua agree to it? And let the two of them go out together?"
Everyone chattered away, each with their own ideas.
"Brother Zhang, don't take the rumors in the village to heart."
They're doing this on purpose. If we really try to avoid seeing them, they'll get their way.
Wei Yuyan was worried that Brother Zhang would feel guilty.
"Sister-in-law, I don't take it to heart. I've seen all kinds of storms. Let's just live our own lives."
Brother Zhang has a very good attitude; he believes that the innocent are innocent.
"Boss, six pounds of lean meat and two pounds of fatty meat, the usual."
When Wei Yuyan arrived in town, she first went to buy meat with Brother Zhang.
"Okay, we have pork belly today, I specially saved it for you."
The butcher didn't want to lose such a big spender, who bought nearly 80 pounds of meat a month.
Knowing she likes pig's stomach, he specially saved it for her today. Even when someone offered to buy it, he refused.
"That's great, please cut the pig's belly in half for me."
Wei Yuyan took out sixty-eight coins and handed them over.
"Okay."
The boss cut up the meat and pig's stomach and handed them to Wei Yuyan.
"Brother Zhang, let's split the pig's belly in half between our two families."
Wei Yuyan put the meat and pig's stomach onto the oxcart, saying that since they had pig's stomach today, they wouldn't buy meat.
I'll buy it again in a couple of days when I want to eat it; it won't keep well in this kind of weather.
"No need, sister-in-law, Xiaolei and the others love to eat it too, so there's no need to share it with us."
How could Brother Zhang have the nerve to snatch food from the kids?
"In this weather, with so few family members, the food will spoil if we don't finish it in one day. I've cut it up and left it here. Take two pounds of white sugar with you when you go back later."
Wei Yuyan counted out forty coins from her pocket and handed them to Brother Zhang.
"Okay, then I'll head back first and deliver the meat home as soon as possible."
Brother Zhang took the money and prepared to buy white sugar.
"Okay, tell Xiaolei and the others that I will go back and make lunch."
Wei Yuyan was afraid that Xiao Lei would go and cook alone again if he saw that she hadn't come back.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Brother Zhang drove the oxcart away, and Wei Yuyan took the bottle to buy vinegar and salt.
"Give me a pound of vinegar and two pounds of white sugar."
Wei Yuyan handed over her teapot, which was a gourd-shaped teapot.
It might have been used to hold wine before, but Wei Yuyan washed it clean and used it to hold vinegar.
"Alright, that'll be forty-eight coins in total."
The waiter immediately prepared the vinegar and went to weigh out the sugar.
After buying these things, Wei Yuyan walked along the street again to see if there was anything else she needed.
"Candied hawthorn berries!"
When Wei Yuyan heard that there were vendors selling candied hawthorns, she took out her purse and prepared to buy a few skewers to take home.
Suddenly, someone snatched Wei Yuyan's purse and ran away.
"Oh no, someone's robbing us!"
Wei Yuyan's first reaction was to chase after him, but the person ran too fast.
Suddenly a carriage rushed out and crashed into him, causing the robber to fall to the ground.
"Let's see you rob money, let's see you rob money."
Wei Yuyan quickly ran over, snatched the money bag from the other person's hand, and then kicked him twice.
"Damn it, he got away."
The other party ran away while Wei Yuyan wasn't paying attention. Wei Yuyan even said she would send him to the authorities, but unfortunately he got away.
"Are you alright? Count the money to see if any is missing."
A man's voice came over, and Wei Yuyan looked over, only to find that it was someone she knew.
"Thank you".
Wei Yuyan had no intention of getting involved with him, so she paused for a moment before politely thanking him.
"You're welcome. I just happened to be passing by."
Looking at the person in front of him, someone who had appeared in his dreams several times, Zhang Hao felt a pang of disappointment.
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Wei Yuyan wanted to leave, but the other person's gaze was so intense that she was confused.
She had only met him a few times, so why was he being so gentle with her? It was almost too gentle.
"Young Master Zhang, was it because of her that you looked down on me before?"
Liu Cuifang came today to deliver sachets, but she never expected to witness such a good show.
What a heroic rescue! And judging from their conversation, they clearly knew each other beforehand.
Zhang Hao's gaze remained fixed on Wei Yuyan, never leaving her.
How could Liu Cuifang swallow this insult? She rushed over to add insult to injury.
"You're overthinking it. I've only met him twice, and we're not very familiar with each other."
When Wei Yuyan saw that Liu Cuifang, who was blocking her way, seemed to regard her as a third party who was ruining other people's relationship, she quickly distanced herself from Zhang Hao.
"Yes, that's right, I rejected you because of her. Now can you get lost?"
Zhang Hao's face darkened, partly due to Liu Cuifang's repeated harassment.
On the other hand, Wei Yuyan's answer was somewhat indifferent, which made him a little disappointed.
"Wei Yuyan, don't forget that you have a husband."
Your husband isn't home, so it's one thing for you to have an ambiguous relationship with the second son of the Zhang family.
She even dared to seduce Young Master Zhang. If Madam Zhang found out about this, hmph.
Liu Cuifang was in a bad mood today, so she decided to scare Wei Yuyan and Zhang Hao.
"When my husband comes back, please tell him all of this in detail, so that he knows everything. Excuse me."
Wei Yuyan found it somewhat amusing. Wu Chen was probably not going to make it back alive, and even if he did, he wouldn't believe a stranger like her.
After saying that, he left, deliberately bumping into Liu Cuifang's shoulder as he passed by, almost making her fall.
