Upon hearing this, Yang Cui knew without a doubt that Cen Xiao's love interest was about to arrive.
They chased after us all the way from Kyoto!
What will Cen Xiao do?
Are you really going to pick them up?
If he goes and brings someone over to cause me trouble, I'll dump him in a heartbeat, without hesitation!
"Godmother, Uncle Xicai is looking for you," Yuan Qiu called out as she walked over.
Therefore, Yang Cui gave up the idea of listening any further, and instead of going in to change her clothes, she went directly to the side hall to see Wang Xicai.
Cen Xiao and Zhuang Zhicheng, who were inside the room, naturally heard the voices as well, and knew that Yang Cui had overheard their conversation. Cen Xiao realized that something was wrong.
"General..."
"No need to say anything more. You can rest here tonight. Tomorrow morning, go to Pingjiang Prefecture and tell Qiu Mingxuan to go back to the capital with Su Murong. I'm a married man. What would it look like if I went to pick her up?"
After saying that, Cen Xiao immediately strode out to find Yang Cui.
"Sister Cui, I want to redeem our house."
In fact, Wang Xicai wanted to redeem the land his father had sold, but he didn't have enough money. It was already very cold. The dilapidated temple could block the wind and snow, but not the wind. At night, the wind howled, making it too cold for people to sleep.
Also, that house is where they grew up, where they lived for so many years, and they have a deep emotional connection to it; he really wants to buy it back.
Yang Cui has already moved into her new home, and that old house is no longer necessary. She had thought about asking Wang Xicai to buy it back before, but she had always forgotten to say so.
“I bought your house and the vegetable garden next to it from your father for nine taels of silver. You can ask Village Chief An about this; he knows. Later, I moved in and added some things, but I don’t want those things anymore. If you want to buy them back, I won’t charge you much—nine taels and two mace of silver.”
“I do, I do!” Wang Xicai stood up excitedly.
When Yang Cui lived there, the house was kept extremely clean, and the items she added were worth more than two qian of silver. All things considered, Wang Xicai still got a little advantage.
"However, Sister Cui, we don't have that much money on hand right now. We can only scrape together four and a half taels at most. Can we pay back the rest after the New Year?"
"Okay, from now on I will pay your family half off their wages until the debt is paid off."
"Thank you, Sister Cui, thank you so much." Wang Xicai cried tears of joy.
"Whose name do you plan to put on the property deed?" Yang Cui asked again.
“Write it down to my mother. That way, if my father comes back, he won’t be able to sell it.”
Wang Xicai is very smart and thinks far ahead. His father's whereabouts are currently unknown. Everyone says that his father is dead, but what if he is not dead? What if he comes back?
“Your father is currently missing. Have you ever thought about having the government grant your mother and father a divorce? As long as your mother is diligent and hardworking, I certainly won’t fire her, so she can support herself without a man. If she wants to remarry, that’s fine too.”
If Yang Cui had met someone like Wang Dachun, they would have divorced long ago and wouldn't have waited until now. But in this era, people consider divorce and being abandoned as extremely shameful things. The main reason is that women have no status, no skills, and when they grow up, they have no home. It is really difficult for them to survive without a man.
Yang Cui didn't want to get involved in this matter, but a couple of days ago she saw Chen Sumei getting close to Fan Guihua from another village.
Fan Guihua was a nephew from Fan's maternal side. His wife had just passed away. Yang Cui had met Lin Shikang when he passed the imperial examination, so she remembered him, but she didn't know what kind of person he was.
However, Yang Cui felt that if Chen Sumei met a good man and wanted to remarry, the marriage had to end, or at least she had to be recognized as single, otherwise it would be bad for the reputation of Wang Xicai and his siblings.
"I was just saying. If you need any help, just come to me. You can move into the house as soon as possible. As for changing the title deed, take some things to the village chief's house and ask him to help you with that."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Cui. I'll go tell my mother and sister about it right away." Wang Xicai bowed deeply to Yang Cui before leaving to express his gratitude.
Wang Xicai finally left, and Cen Xiao walked up to Yang Cui: "Wife..."
Yang Cui ignored him, didn't even glance at him, and walked right past him.
Cen Xiao: "..."
My wife is jealous! Hehehe, Cen Xiao thought to himself with secret smugness.
Yang Cui returned to her room to change her clothes before cooking. Just as she took off her outer garment, Cen Xiao arrived and hugged her from behind.
"Let me go."
"Wife, are you jealous?" Cen Xiao said, pressing his face against hers, his hot breath spraying against her earlobe.
"Get off me!" Yang Cui struggled with all her might, but this guy was too strong and his body was as hard as a rock. Yang Cui's resistance was not only useless, but he hugged her tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to become one with her.
"You ignored me just now."
Listen to his tone! He's acting all wronged! What does he have to be wronged about? Humph!
"Sis, what delicious food are you making today?" An Xiaohu's voice came from outside, indicating that her uncle An Dafu and his family had come over.
"Let go!" Yang Cui stomped hard on his foot.
Cen Xiao then let go, planning to explain to his wife properly that night, saying that if it didn't work, they would do it, as Chen Shaoyun had said before that love was something that could be created.
Yang Cui quickly put on her clothes, turned around, and went out.
"Sis, what's for dinner?"
"They brought back a wild boar today. Tonight we'll have pork liver and lung soup, and your favorite pickled fish. Tomorrow is a whole pig feast. Uncle, you can come over for lunch tomorrow too. Call Xiao Jiang and Xiao He back then as well."
