In the morning, Li Su Niang made delicious handmade noodles with great texture, accompanied by her own side dishes. Du Wei enjoyed it and asked her to teach him how to make it, to which she agreed.
After breakfast, Du Wei asked his father if he wanted them to buy anything for him when they went to town, but his father said he didn't need anything.
After sending his father and son off, Du Wei took Li Suniang to their room, locked the door, and pulled out the bag from the previous night. Li Suniang thought he wanted to be intimate and blushed, asking what he wanted to do in broad daylight.
Du Wei looked at her, saw her nervous expression, and burst out laughing. He quickly composed himself after Li Suniang gave him a stern look, and said, "What are you thinking? I just want to give you the money I earned this month."
Li Suniang's face was red, and even her ears were flushed.
Then, he pulled out a black lacquer box from the bag and opened it, revealing several shiny silver coins inside. Li Su Niang's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Ah, so you're giving your salary!" she thought, feeling like she had been startled for no reason.
"Isn't this a lot? You're really giving it all to ?" she asked, looking at Du Wei in disbelief, feeling like she had been struck by a lucky pie from the sky.
"Co here," Du Wei said, beckoning her over.
Li Suniang walked over, and before she reached him, he pulled her into a seat next to him on the bed.
"Here, take it. I married you to help manage my finances. Otherwise, why would I marry you?" Du Wei said with a sweet smile, making Li Suniang wonder if he had ever been with a woman before.
"There are thirty silver taels in total, ten of which are from my earnings and tips from this trip, and twenty from trading along the way," Du Wei explained.
"Wait, you can do business while escorting?" Li Su Niang asked in surprise, thinking that escorting was a serious business that required utmost caution.
"No, we do it on the way back. We buy local goods and trade them along the way, so the money keeps increasing. If we weren't in a hurry to return, we could have made even more," Du Wei explained, giving Li Suniang a peck on the cheek.
Li Suniang playfully glared at him but didn't say anything. After all, they were newlyweds, and so affection was normal. Besides, Du Wei had been away for a while, and it was only natural to want to make up for lost ti.
"Who ca up with this idea?" Li Su Niang asked, impressed by Du Wei's business acun. She thought to herself that in her previous life, he would have made a great entrepreneur.
Du Wei smiled sheepishly, "I just tried it out at first, but it ended up working well. So, we started doing it together as a group, buying and selling along the way, and splitting the profits."
Li Suniang listened, feeling like she had stumbled upon a goldmine. She thought to herself that if Du Wei didn't have that scar, she might not have even had a chance with him. It seed like fate had brought them together.
"Husband, aren't you worried I'll spend all this money recklessly?" Li Suniang asked, looking at Du Wei.
"Will you?" Du Wei asked back, teasing her.
Li Suniang thought about playing a joke on him but decided against it. So jokes were better left unsaid, even between husband and wife.
"No, I won't," she replied, hugging the box tightly and answering obediently.
Li Suniang, who was not a spendthrift in her previous life, was even more frugal in ancient tis due to the lack of material resources.
After putting the money away, Du Wei hugged her and teased, "Tell , what did you think I wanted to do when you ca in? You were so flustered that you didn't even dare to look at ."
Li Suniang pushed him away with her hands, saying, "I'm not a mind-reader, how would I know what you want?"
Du Wei whispered sothing in her ear, making her face even redder than before.
Seeing her blush, Du Wei was tempted but rembered they had to go to town. He kissed her a few tis and let her go, saying, "I'll teach you a lesson tonight."
Li Suniang's legs were weak from his kisses, and she was flustered by his words. She didn't know how she ended up on the ox cart.
"Wait, I forgot my money! Husband, stop the cart." Li Su Niang realized she had left her money behind.
Du Wei replied, "Don't worry, I have so. Sit closer to ."
Li Su Niang thought to herself, "But didn't he give all the money? How does he have more money?" She realized that n hiding private savings was a tiless habit.
However, sotis it was good that n hid their savings, as it allowed them to surprise their loved ones without asking for money. If she already knew about the money, it wouldn't be a surprise.
On their way to town, they t two village won, including ng Shi, who had a reputation for being promiscuous. Du Wei wasn't thrilled to bring them along but tolerated it for the sake of village harmony.
He heard that she is now involved with soone in the village. The man's wife can't control him. She has made trouble several tis, but the man is not a good person. He is always an to his wife and has threatened to divorce her if she makes trouble again. Now the wife dares not make trouble. After all, there are still several children at ho. If she is really divorced, she has nowhere to go. Her parents will definitely not accept her. This is the sadness of won at the bottom of society in ancient tis.
Although they live in the sa village, because Li Suniang hardly goes out, there are really not many people who know her. Therefore, after ng Shi climbed onto the ox cart, she stared at Li Suniang fiercely, which made Li Suniang feel annoyed. Of course, she didn't know ng Shi either. She heard everything from Aunt Yang and her daughter-in-law. If she hadn't heard another woman muttering with so disdain just now, she really didn't know that it was ng Shi.
In fact, ng Shi was jealous of Li Suniang. They were both won, and their ages were not much different. ng Shi thought she looked pretty. But why is it that she lives a better life than herself, and the n she marries dote on her more?
It is said that Niu Da spoiled Li Suniang like a treasure, and was reluctant to let her do the housework, let alone go to the fields. It was thought that after Niu Da died, her life as a widow would be difficult. But who knew that Du Wei would take a fancy to her? The conditions of the Du family are better than those of the Niu family. Why is God so good to Li Suniang, who is also a widow?
When she married Du Wei, the Du family also let her take her son in the sedan chair. ng Shi wanted to see what kind of virtue Li Suniang had and how she could seduce one or two n to the point of losing their souls and doting on her.
After looking Li Suniang up and down, ng Shi found that she was not really that pretty except that she was a little whiter than ordinary people. When a woman is jealous, she often will not admit that others are better than herself.
Especially after seeing the silver bracelet on Li Suniang's wrist, ng Shi was envious.
"Madam Du, this bracelet on your hand is worth at least two taels of silver! It seems that Brother Du is really capable! He must have made a lot of money outside!" ng Shi said sourly.
Li Suniang touched the bracelet on her hand, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She said shyly, "I don't know how much it is worth. This is a gift from my husband." As
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Wei, who was driving the car in front, turned around and looked at her, with a hint of pampering in his eyes.
ng Shi saw this and was jealous. She clutched the handkerchief tightly and forced a smile on her face, saying, "It seems that Brother Du is very caring!"
Li Suniang didn't answer but nodded shyly. The woman sitting next to her saw the expression on ng Shi's face and couldn't help but sneer, "Whose man doesn't love his wife? Only those with a problem in their heads would ignore their own wives and go to love those wild, slutty, and shaless won." After the woman finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at ng Shi.
Li Suniang almost laughed out loud at the woman's three consecutive words, but fortunately, she held it back in ti. After hearing that, ng Shi's face turned red and white, and she wanted to get angry, but she didn't ntion anyone by na, so she could only hold it back.
So Li Suniang's ears were quiet for the rest of the journey. Of course, it would have been even more perfect if ng Shi hadn't kept looking at her from ti to ti.
