Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Lucky Farr Remains Calm, The Heirless Husband Hurries to Chase His Wife 7
“What are you two doing here, whispering sweet nothings to each other?” The uncle looked at Su Zhiruan, then at Fu Huaichu.
At that mont, his dark face was full of gossip, and he threw the hoe to the ground as he ca closer, craning his neck curiously to observe them. His words carried no pretense, “When are you planning to hold the wedding banquet? Make sure it’s lively when you do!”
“Ah, it has been such a long ti since Su Family Village has seen a wedding celebration, your marriage would certainly bring joy to us old folks.” The uncle feigned a sigh. After observing for a while, he thought that Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu looked as if they had been together for a long ti.
Perhaps they were not aware of it themselves, but to soone who had been around, it was obvious how they felt about each other, and getting married was just a matter of ti.
“Uncle, we’re just sitting and chatting for a bit,” Su Zhiruan laughed as she replied. She looked at the uncle, “Sister Yaya just got married recently. Could it be that uncle didn’t get enough of the wedding feast? When we have ti, we’ll definitely bring a couple of bottles of good wine to visit you and Auntie.”
“Good, good, good,” the uncle, hearing this, beca happy. “You, this girl, were too shy to eat from a hundred families when you were little, and now you’ve grown up to be so good with words and likable. Well, it’s settled then, you must co by soday, and if you don’t, your aunt will give an earful.”
“No problem, we are going to get busy, we’ll visit you another day.” Su Zhiruan smiled and waved her hand, Fu Huaichu nodded slightly, and then he was led away from the ridge by Su Zhiruan.
“Brother Erniu, you go back first, I’ll go clean up the farm implents, I’ll be ho soon.”
Su Zhiruan walked him to the road, took a step back with a smile, and turned to leave.
Fu Huaichu watched her figure grow smaller and smaller in the distance, feelings he could not na stirred in his heart.
After he returned and prepared the al, Su Zhiruan ca back.
The two sat opposite each other at the small wooden table as usual, eating their al that was fragrant and warm, a al that brought a certain sense of unexplained comfort to their stomachs.
“By the way, Brother Erniu,” Su Zhiruan said as if she suddenly rembered sothing. She put her chopsticks down and looked at Fu Huaichu, “Could you do a favor and run an errand tomorrow?”
“Where to?” Fu Huaichu also laid down his chopsticks and looked at her, “What for?”
“I need you to go to the herbal shop,” Su Zhiruan pointed to the pile of dried herbs next to her and looked at Fu Huaichu, “I’ve already spoken to the master of the shop about delivering this year’s herbs. I’ve already received half of the paynt; if you could deliver the herbs for and then bring back the rest of the money.”

It was a task of running errands, but Su Zhiruan had been busy with farming these days and really couldn’t get away.
As for the Crown Prince, though he had healed from most of his severe injuries, he was still in a weakened state, so having him deliver the herbs seed appropriate.
“Okay.” Fu Huaichu nodded his head and agreed.

The next day.
After Su Zhiruan packed the herbs, she watched him leave.
She then, as always, picked up her hoe and other tools and went down to tend to the fields.
These days, whether it was the herbs planted in the yard or the vegetables outside, they were all looking very vibrant.
“If only it would rain now, that would be perfect,” Su Zhiruan mused.
Her words reached the uncle next door who looked cheerfully at his crops,” You don’t have to wait a few days, Ruanruan girl, your wish is going to co true today.”
“Look at those clouds over there, that’s a sure sign of rain coming. In about an hour, it will definitely rain, and with a rain, the crops will grow even better,” he added.
Su Zhiruan looked at the clouds nearby, layer upon layer, this formation indeed indicated the onset of rain.
Suddenly, she thought of Fu Huaichu.
He hadn’t brought an umbrella when he left in the morning, and by the ti, it would definitely take him longer than an hour.
In the rain…
This was a perfect scene to bring people closer.
She couldn’t sit still any longer and imdiately stood up, took her farming tools, and hurried ho.
“Hey, hey, hey, Ruanruan, where are you running off to?!” The uncle in the distance had no idea what was going on. He was confused and didn’t understand why Su Zhiruan had suddenly run off.
After returning ho, Su Zhiruan quickly found the oil-paper umbrella and a bamboo hat belonging to the original owner. She put on the bamboo hat, took the sowhat heavy umbrella, and started walking towards the dical hall.
The location of the dical hall was at the edge of the Su Family village and the county, under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. Generally speaking, this wasn’t considered an important place. Not to ntion emperors or Crown Princes, even Prefects and other officials were not familiar with it.
Su Zhiruan wore the bamboo hat and walked the entire way.
Many aunties on the road advised her to head ho early as it was going to rain, and Su Zhiruan nodded to each.
The buildings along the road also changed with her footsteps.
Most people in the Su Family village lived in thatched cottages, with walls fortified with mud and stones.
But in the county, so restaurants were decorated very distinctively, and even appeared quite beautiful.
The original owner had been an apprentice at the dical hall, so the route was familiar.
Having the original owner’s mories, Su Zhiruan knew where the place was.
As she reached the halfway point, the sky gradually darkened, and the distinctive sll before the rain beca increasingly apparent in the air.
After she took a couple more steps, the sky suddenly poured down heavy rain.
She pushed down on her bamboo hat, but her body still inevitably caught drops of rain, so Su Zhiruan opened the oil-paper umbrella and held it over her head.
The large raindrops fell onto the umbrella, creating a dull pitter-patter.
Soon, she arrived at the dical hall.
She stood not far away, looking at the refined Fu Huaichu standing at the entrance of the dical hall.
He had not yet noticed her presence, standing casually, yet his deanor was truly outstanding. Even the young won passing by in a rush couldn’t help but stop and take another look, for he was exceptionally attractive.
A slightly daring young woman flushed with shyness, picked up her skirt, and walked towards him.
Su Zhiruan watched from a distance, not knowing what they were actually saying.
Fu Huaichu talked with the girl in the pink dress for a couple of sentences. His expression was icy, completely that of soone seeing a stranger.
Afterward, Su Zhiruan saw him shake his head without much expression, and the woman’s face imdiately fell with disappointnt.
At this mont, Fu Huaichu seed to sense sothing and looked up. He saw Su Zhiruan standing not too far away.
The disappointed young woman also followed his gaze, wanting to see what had captured his attention.
Seeing that Fu Huaichu had noticed her, Su Zhiruan simply walked over with her umbrella, “Brother Erniu.”
“You are…” The woman was sowhat unwilling to give up. She had already guessed the relationship between the two. The refined man’s gaze had changed subtly after seeing her, so they surely couldn’t be siblings.
“I’m her husband.”
