162 Chapter 162: Wife-doting Qin Erhu
“Younger Brother-in-law, your family’s cold dish and century eggs are really excellent!” Qin Dahu gave effusive praise as he chomped on the cold dish comprising pig’s ear.
“That’s right!” Qin Erhu chimed in.
He then thought of something and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“By the way, Youngest Sis, do you have any more century eggs? Sell some to me. Your second sister-in-law doesn’t have much appetite these days. She said that she just wants to eat the porridge with pork and century egg,” he said.
Ever since his wife became pregnant, her morning sickness had been really bad. His heart ached even as he watched over her.
During this period, he had also bought a lot of good food and drinks, but his wife said she couldn’t stomach them. Over the past few days, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Previously, his youngest sister had sent him some century eggs, and his wife had made porridge with lean pork and century eggs and some cold dishes with century eggs according to his youngest sister’s instructions.
In the end, because Qin Erhu loved them so much, the 20 century eggs that were allocated to the second son’s household were quickly consumed by him.
As a result, his wife couldn’t even have some century egg porridge now.
Qin Dahu immediately turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao as well.
He wanted to buy some too, but he felt that his youngest sister would definitely not accept his money, so he kept his mouth shut after thinking about it.
Qin Dazhuang’s expression was similar.
Just like his two sons, he also liked to eat century eggs.
However, he was very poor now and had to live with his two sons in the future, so he was too embarrassed to ask.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.
“What are you talking about? Second Brother, you’re treating me like an outsider!”
“I make century eggs every day now, and there are plenty of century eggs at home. When you go back later, I’ll load up a batch of 60 eggs for you guys. After you take it back, your two families can split it among yourselves. When you’ve eaten them all, just come back and ask me for more.”
“How can we allow this? Your century eggs are worth two to three copper coins each!” Qin Erhu said hurriedly.
“That’s right! 60 is more than 100 copper coins. How can we take advantage of you like this?” Qin Dahu added.
As he spoke, he intentionally looked at Song Que.
He was afraid that his younger brother-in-law would be unhappy.
However, Song Que had a smile on his face the entire time and did not show any signs of displeasure.
“That price is for selling to Fortune Mansion. They didn’t allow me to sell century eggs to outsiders, so naturally, they gave me a high price. Actually, the cost of this thing is not much more expensive than regular chicken eggs,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a smile.
“I’ve already promised Fortune Mansion that I won’t sell to outsiders, so how can I sell to you? If you want to eat it, you can just ask me for it directly!”
“Besides, in the past, when my family was in trouble, you guys gave me money and helped me. Today, when you found out that I was going to build a shed, you all rushed over to help. And all I did was give you some century eggs?”
Qin Dahu was just about to speak when Song Que, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up.
“This is a token of appreciation from my wife and me. Father and two Brothers-in-law should just accept it.” After he finished speaking, he even exchanged a glance with Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.
This scene caused the Qin family’s father and sons, as well as everyone at the table to look away. They couldn’t help but feel happy for the two of them.
This young couple’s relationship seemed to be getting better and better…
The Qin family’s father and sons were truly happy for their daughter and youngest sister at this point. They felt that her struggles and hard work were beginning to bear fruit.
With regard to Song Que, the Qin family members were increasingly more satisfied with him.
Although he was a frail scholar and couldn’t help their daughter and youngest sister with the family chores, he was reasonable and knew how to care for others.
They were still around anyway, and the two families were staying not far from each other. If anything were to happen to their daughter and youngest sister, they would still be able to take care of her.
“Ahem… Since that’s the case, you guys can accept it this time. But the next time you want to eat century eggs, bring your own chicken eggs or duck eggs, and give your youngest sister some labor fees in exchange,” Qin Dazhuang said.
He could not possibly allow his daughter to suffer losses for the century eggs from here onward.
However, his daughter was not willing to accept their money, so he could only resort to this.
In this way, his daughter would not have to send century eggs to their house in the future, and his sons would not have to worry about his daughter not taking money and, thus, dared not ask for them. After all, their family really liked century eggs.
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu agreed.
Qin Xiaoyao laughed and answered, “Alright.”
Following that, Qin Xiaoyao taught Qin Erhu how her own family prepared the cold dishes.
She told him to go back and let her second sister-in-law try it to see if it was appetizing.
Qin Erhu, who had always been boorish, was actually very serious about learning the recipe. He said that when he returned, he would definitely let his wife try it out.
Qin Xiaoyao was overjoyed to see her second brother dote on his wife so much.
The Qin family’s trio of father and sons only left after dinner ended late into the night.
Before he left, Qin Dazhuang even said that he would bring Qin Dahu over to help again the next day after he was done with his household chores.
Qin Xiaoyao agreed with a smile and sent the three of them off.
Back in the kitchen, Qin Xiaoyao wanted to help out, but Madam Liu wouldn’t let her.
“Take Que’er for a walk in the streets to aid with digestion. It’ll be easier to sleep when you come back later.”
“We’ll go and look for you after we’re done washing the dishes.”
Qin Xiaoyao thought about it and agreed.
After that, she went to look for Song Que.
Song Que had been forced to drink a few cups of wine by his father-in-law and his two brothers-in-law on this night. Although he was not drunk, he was feeling a little lethargic.
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao coming over to take him out, not only did he not cooperate, but he actually pulled Qin Xiaoyao over with some force and sat her on the soft couch beside him.
Almost immediately, Qin Xiaoyao could smell the faint whiff of alcohol on Song Que.
Hmm… it wasn’t as strong as the smell of alcohol on her, but perhaps because the face in front of her was too handsome, she felt a little intoxicated.
Song Que turned his head and smiled at the woman who was staring at him.
Then, his body went limp, and he allowed himself to lean on Qin Xiaoyao.
“Sigh…” After that, he let out a sigh of contentment.
This sigh made Qin Xiaoyao’s heart tremble, and her face turn red.
She tried hard to stop herself from extending her claws and hugging her husband.
To her surprise, Song Que’s body slowly slid down again and fell into her arms.
Then, just like that, he lay in her arms and looked up at her with a smile.
He simply stared straight at her, like a vixen that was very seductive.
Qin Xiaoyao’s body froze.
She was at a loss.
It lasted until Song Que felt uncomfortable, and he reached out, took one of her arms, and used it as a pillow under his head.
“Hubby…” Qin Xiaoyao finally spoke. The second syllable was almost lost as her voice trailed off.
“Shush…” Song Que’s beautiful eyes blinked, and he placed his hand against his mouth to make a gesture of keeping quiet.
Then, he continued to look at Qin Xiaoyao with a smile.
Perhaps his eyes were not that good before, but after a closer look, his wife was actually more beautiful than he had thought.
It was the kind of soldierly beauty that was very alluring…
Qin Xiaoyao’s face was burning, and she didn’t dare to look at Song Que directly.
This was a demon’s trick, right? The reincarnation of a vixen?
Did he know that staring at her like that was very dangerous?
Well, the other party obviously didn’t know.
As if it wasn’t enough to just look at her, he even made a move on her.
In short, Qin Xiaoyao finally kissed him and then began chewing on Song Que. She almost caused him to suffocate with her chewing.
After that, the woman who quickly fled swore to herself.
As long as she was given more opportunities to practice, she would never let her attractive husband look at her with those eyes full of resentment again…
After all, she… really had no experience in this…
