The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug

64 Chapter 64: Such a Ladykiller!

Both Madam Liu and Song Yun were delighted when they saw the handcart.

They quickly surrounded Qin Xiaoyao.

They looked over the handcart, touching here and there, and they fell in love with it.

“You can tell at a glance that this wood quality is good. How much did you spend?” Madam Liu couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes as she asked her daughter-in-law.

“It’s not expensive. The shop started off with 600 copper coins, but I bargained it down to 500 copper coins,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a laugh.

Madam Liu got a shock.

“500 copper coins?” She still felt that it was too expensive.

Qin Xiaoyao chuckled. “You get what you pay for. This price should be just right for this quality.”

“At that time, there were other handcarts in the shop which were cheaper by 50 copper coins. However, the workmanship and materials used were a lot more inferior.”

“Moreover, the handcart shop even promised to give new replacements for half a year and a one-year warranty. We don’t lose anything,” Qin Xiaoyao said as she handed the invoice to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu took it and looked at the words on it. She calmed down significantly.

“Alright. Then we’d better keep this invoice well.” Then, she handed the list back to Qin Xiaoyao.

However, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t take it.

“It’s better that you keep it. I’ve been so forgetful, and it’ll be terrible if I can’t find it,” she said as she smiled at Madam Liu.

Madam Liu finally laughed with amusement.

“Fine! I’ll keep it then!” With that, she took the invoice and went back to her room.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao reach out and carry Song Ye off the handcart.

Following that, she took out the bag of candy she bought from the backpack on the handcart.

Then, she tore open the oilpaper packaging in front of the two little ones.

“Just like the day before yesterday, everyone in our family will get a share. Two pieces each!” As Qin Xiaoyao spoke, she had already taken a piece and popped it in her mouth.

Then, she lowered the oilpaper bag to let the two little ones take the candy.

“Haha! Thank you, Sister-in-law!” Song Ye said quickly. He reached out and took two pieces of candy.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law!” The little girl also blushed and reached out to take two pieces.

Qin Xiaoyao was very pleased. As she ate the candy, her whole body felt very sweet all over as well.

Seeing that Madam Liu had already emerged from her room, she called out to her mother-in-law to come and have some candy.

Madam Liu laughed with amusement.

“I’m already so old, so I won’t eat it. I’ll give my two pieces to Yun’er and Ye’er,” she said.

She had overheard her daughter-in-law’s words about two pieces per person earlier.

Previously, she had eaten candy because her body had been deprived of it for a long time, and she was craving a little sweetness.

However, these days, the food at home was better, and she was able to stop thinking about that. She didn’t really like sweet food anyway.

“In the future, don’t buy my share.” After thinking for a while, Madam Liu reminded Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed. “If you don’t want to eat, then let Yun’er and Ye’er eat more. I don’t have to worry about not being able to finish it.”

Without waiting for Madam Liu’s reply, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “I’m going to send some candy to my husband. I’ll have to trouble Mother and Yun’er to unload the things on the handcart.”

After saying that, she distributed another piece of candy to each of the two little ones. Qin Xiaoyao then took the bamboo basket with the books and left with the remaining two pieces of candy.

Madam Liu reached out with her hand but put it down again with a smile.

Forget it. It didn’t make sense…

Then, Madam Liu and Song Yun unloaded the stuff from the handcart and brought them to the kitchen.

Looking at the new items that her daughter-in-law had bought, Madam Liu’s heart ached again.

These things were actually available at home. Although they were a little tight when they were in use, there was really no need to buy so many.

No, she had to tell her daughter-in-law later.

In Song Que’s room.

Song Que, who was copying books, had heard the commotion outside and knew that Qin Xiaoyao had returned.

Since then, he was in no mood to copy books.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao entering the room with a bamboo basket, he raised his head and looked at her.

“Hubby…” Qin Xiaoyao called out, suppressing the emotional upheaval brought about by the visual impact of the man’s attractiveness.

Then she heard Song Que say, “You’ve returned a little late today.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s face turned red.

“I went to buy a handcart, and then I sold straw sandals, so I wasted a lot of time,” she replied.

Then, she did not dare to look at Song Que again and walked over.

“I bought some candy. Two pieces each for everyone in the family. This is your share.” Then, she placed the candy wrapped in oilpaper on the bedside cabinet.

Song Que was caught by surprise.

“Thank you,” he then said.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart trembled again.

Then, she took out the new book the bookstore owner gave from the basket.

...

“This is a new book from the shop owner.”

Song Que reached out to accept it.

As she saw his slender, attractive fingers, Qin Xiaoyao got such a fright that she quickly released her hand.

“Oh, and something else…”

Qin Xiaoyao quickly came back to her senses and touched her purse.

“The shop owner gave me 45 copper coins after I returned the completed copy…”

“No need. You can keep all the money.” Song Que voiced out before Qin Xiaoyao could even take out the money.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.

Then, she saw Song Que smile at her.

“I know where you put the money. I’ll let you know when I need it,” he continued.

He had indeed seen where she kept the money. Regardless of silver pieces or copper coins, they were all placed in one place.

...

And unlike in the past, she did not hide it from him.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

He was such a ladykiller!

“Alright…” She quickly forced herself to look away.

Then, she pulled open a drawer beside the bed and poured all the money in her money bag into the small money box.

Then, she took her accounts ledger and ran out in a mad rush.

Seeing this, the smile on Song Que’s face widened.

Then, he glanced at the candy pieces on the bedside cabinet.

He reached out for a piece and put it in his mouth.

It was very sweet…

When Qin Xiaoyao left the room, she realized that although she had her accounts ledger, she didn’t bring her brush and ink.

After feeling vexed for a while, she felt that she couldn’t admit defeat, so she went back.

Yes, she had to face her difficulties and solve them instead of being a coward.

Otherwise, if she didn’t even dare to face her attractive husband, how could she live with him in the future?

At this thought, Qin Xiaoyao was a little annoyed at her predecessor’s infatuation.

If it weren’t for the fact that her previous self was too infatuated, coupled with her own infatuation resulting in an effect multiplied twice over, she wouldn’t be in this state.

After encouraging herself, Qin Xiaoyao turned back.

Song Que was a little surprised to see Qin Xiaoyao back.

However, he didn’t say anything and continued to copy his own book.

This time, Qin Xiaoyao only glanced at Song Que before walking toward him.

Then, she took out her own writing brush and placed it on the other side of the cabinet to record the accounts.

Song Que’s interest was piqued.

He stopped copying and started to watch Qin Xiaoyao write.

This time, he watched her writing openly and very carefully.

He noticed that Qin Xiaoyao’s writing posture was proper, and the strokes were well-drawn.

Her situation was definitely not as simple as going to the Academy for merely two years…

Qin Xiaoyao knew that Song Que was watching her, but she tried to calm herself down and not let herself be distracted.

After all, she was an undergraduate student before the apocalypse. Naturally, she had more than just two years of education.

When she was young, she also practiced calligraphy with her grandfather, so her handwriting was naturally presentable.

After a short while, Qin Xiaoyao had sorted out today’s accounts.

She glanced at it with satisfaction and waited for the ink to dry before putting her accounts ledger back into the drawer.

After that, she seemed to have thought of something and took out a piece of paper from her pocket.
