Chapter 214 Husband and wife are of the same mind
"Dear Xiangxiang, it's been a few minutes since I left you. My heart feels empty..."
"Stop! That's so corny..."
Xiangxiang is in adolescence now and can't stand hearing this. Song Anning knows this. As long as he says this, Xiangxiang will immediately give up.
"Xiangxiang, just say it directly.
That is, as long as you buy fishing gear from the mall, you can spend silver to increase the chance of catching fish.
But the set the system gave the master only costs ten taels of silver, while buying it from the mall costs ten times that, one hundred taels, and it lasts for two hours!"
"Is Chen Guanghui's set also okay?"
"Of course, that silly boy has a hard time, the master can help him."
"Oh my, our Xiangxiang is feeling sorry for us now, but we can't add too much. If we increase the chance of catching fish by 50%, he will be so happy that he can't sleep. We can't be too ostentatious."
"Well, that's up to you. Go to bed early, sister."
"!"
Hearing Xiangxiang calling her "sister", Song Anning, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly opened her eyes. It is said that adolescent children have changeable emotions, but what Xiangxiang said just now was definitely not a casual remark.
Xiangxiang remembered that during the day, a group of children called her sister and she had been listening. In fact, she had wanted to call them sister for a long time.
Song Anning smiled softly and replied to Xiangxiang with her mind: "Good night, sister Xiangxiang."
"whee……"
Today was a great harvest, and the children all fell asleep with smiles on their faces. After Chen Guanghui took the crabs home, he and his family had a delicious crab feast.
For this, the usually serious old man of the Chen family praised him twice, and after dinner, he said a few more words:
Accompany Miss Song well. Our business with Zuixianju is top priority. Miss Song often goes to Zuixianju. You should make yourself familiar to her so that you can talk to Manager Dong in the future.
Also, don’t embarrass the Chen family in tomorrow’s fishing competition.
Before this, his family never cared about his affairs. As long as he didn't kill or set fire to anything and cause trouble, everything else was fine.
After Song An Ning showed up, his status suddenly rose. Come to think of it, eating the crabs he brought back, it was naturally too embarrassing to say anything unpleasant.
What the master said is right. Sometimes you don’t need to say anything. A blacksmith must be strong himself. When your strength improves, other people’s attitude towards you will naturally change.
In Chen Guanghui's courtyard, Xiao Yao was leading people to help him prepare clothes to wear tomorrow, including shoes and socks, which were all made by her.
Seeing Chen Guanghui coming back, her face turned cold and she said unhappily, "Which concubine's courtyard are you going to sleep in today?"
"..."
Ever since Song An Ning gave him medicine last time and told him that his method of taking concubines was wrong, he has been sleeping in Xiao Yao's room, but nothing happened.
Xiao Yao thought he had eaten too much outside, which made her feel even more uncomfortable, and her tone when she spoke to him was always unpleasant.
Hearing his wife ask this, Chen Guanghui felt a surge of guilt. It was unfair, he didn't do it!
He also remembered what Song An Ning said during the day, that husband and wife should be of one mind. If they keep hiding things from each other, the misunderstanding will only get deeper and deeper, and eventually become irreversible. By then, it will be too late to explain.
So he asked the servants to leave, and only the couple were left in the room. Then he lowered his head and said that he had health problems.
"When did this happen? Why did you hide it from me? And you brought so many women back..."
Xiao Yao was both angry and annoyed. She was angry because the couple could have faced this together, found a good doctor and taken some medicine, and maybe the problem would have been solved, but Chen Guanghui had kept it a secret for so long.
She was annoyed with herself. Her husband had been ill for so long, but she hadn't noticed. She had been angry and bickering with him, and had done a lot of ridiculous things out of jealousy.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes became hot and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Just as Chen Guanghui was about to explain, he saw Xiao Yao crying and quickly stood up to comfort her.
"Why are you crying? Do you dislike me? If you feel wronged, we can get a divorce.
And those in the backyard, I haven't touched them so it doesn't matter if I dismiss them."
"Bullshit! You said we can get a divorce? The truth is, you really dislike me."
"How could that be? I've been taking my medicine regularly these past few days, and I'm even thinking about having more children with you once I'm better."
Although Xiao Yao comes from a small family and is a bit petty, how could she not have feelings for her husband after being married for so many years?
After hearing what Chen Guanghui said, Xiao Yao burst into laughter and said coquettishly, "Who wants to have a child with you? Isn't having a big sister enough?"
They have been married for nearly ten years and have only this one daughter. When Xiao Yao wanted to have another child, Chen Guanghui fell ill, and they have been living like this for the past few years.
"That's enough. I just want to have two more children, hehe..."
As Chen Guanghui spoke, he ran to the study to get the medicine Song An Ning gave him and placed it with Xiao Yao. Sometimes he was busy and would forget to take it, so he had to come back again.
Now that it's with Xiao Yao, she will remind him to take the medicine every day, and after the two of them talked it out, he felt a lot more relieved.
"This is what Miss Song gave you? Will it be useful?"
Xiao Yao was very ashamed of her behavior at Zuixianju last time, especially when she heard Manager Dong talk about their boss's preferential treatment of Song An Ning, she knew that she had misunderstood.
There are only a few people in the entire Linhai Town who can do business with Zuixianju. For Song Anning, a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage, to be able to do this, she must have extraordinary ability.
After returning home that day, she was scolded by her mother-in-law. She knew she was in the wrong, but fortunately Chen Guanghui did not mention the matter again, and it was over.
When she heard Chen Guanghui mention this girl again just now, she felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to apologize to Song An Ning in person, but she was a little embarrassed.
"It's useful. I've been..."
Chen Guanghui approached Xiao Yao and whispered something. Xiao Yao blushed and said angrily, "You scoundrel..."
After chatting and joking for a while, Xiao Yao also became serious.
"Miss Song gave you so many medicines, shouldn't we return the favor? It's all your fault for not telling me earlier."
"I bought some dried seafood for my master, and later she gave me a set of fishing rods. Hey, let me tell you, those fishing rods are really good..."
"..."
Xiao Yao rolled her eyes at Chen Guanghui, turned around and rummaged through the jewelry box, sighing softly.
I didn't have much dowry, and when I came to the Chen family, I could only live on the monthly salary. I didn't even have any decent jewelry to give as a gift.
"So Miss Song prescribed you some medicine and also gave you a set of fishing rods, right?
You are such an adult, and you are so shameless to accept it! How much are those dried seafood worth? "
The more Chen Guanghui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. His master seemed poor, but he took out several hundred taels of silver without blinking an eye.
Not only that, the master never owes anyone anything. Even if he spends some money, Song An Ning will return something of similar value or even more expensive.
"I have two sets of fine writing brushes and ink in my study. Have them packed and given to my master's younger brother tomorrow. The child will soon begin to learn to read."
The couple discussed for a while, and then found some similar things from the warehouse, preparing to give them to her tomorrow.
Chen Guanghui thought about it again and again, and said to Xiao Yao:
"Will you come with me tomorrow? You can bring your family to this competition..."
"I'll go with you, just to apologize to Miss Song.
And didn’t you say she would bring her younger siblings with her this time? I can help take care of the children too.”
She didn't have any expectations about Chen Guanghui fishing. After all, he had been fishing since she married him, but she hadn't seen many fish so far.
As long as my husband is happy, we can deal with the rest later.
That night, the couple hugged each other tightly. After their hearts were untied, they slept more soundly.
The next morning, when Song An Ning woke up, she saw the two little ones already dressed and sitting obediently at the table, afraid that they would miss the fishing competition if they got up too late.
"Hahaha, ouch, these two little cuties have dark circles under their eyes after two days of hard work..."
