I became a villain's stepmother and married a rough man from the mountains

Chapter 46
When Xiao Yu heard the other party say that he wanted to refine salt, his pupils shrank slightly.

He glanced at the other person's expression, and felt that Su Wan didn't seem to be joking.

"You really think it through."

Su Wan nodded slightly.

"The reason why I told you this matter means that I have already thought about it."

Xiao Yu thought for a while and said.

"Presumably you should also know very well that salt has belonged to the royal family since ancient times. Over the years, how many merchants have wanted to be contaminated, but in the end they only ended up in one end."

"Trafficking in private salt is already such a crime, let alone refining salt."

"And I'm also very curious, what kind of method do you have to refine salt?"

"This is what I need to prepare. The reason why I tell you is that I also hope that you can help me. It is definitely impossible to do this with my own strength."

Su Wan looked at Xiao Yu.

To be honest, she didn't have much confidence that she could convince the man, especially when she learned what secrets the man might hide.

If a man chooses to help himself at this time, it means that he may be involved in trouble.

This also goes against the reason why he came to this remote mountain village under the pretense of fleeing famine.

Xiao Yu was indeed thinking seriously.

Can this thing be done?
Once the refining salt is discovered, at the lightest, it will be punished in autumn.

"I have another question. What is the purpose of your salt refining? Is it to help those who suffer from big neck disease?"

Su Wan nodded.

"Ah."

"Since there are ways to avoid this disease, why ignore it."

"The question is back, even after you are cured, what benefits can you get, what benefits can you get from it?"

Xiao Yu stared at Su Wan closely.

"It's very simple, that is to let their parents feel at ease to send their children to the school."

"Oh? You take such a big risk that you may be imprisoned, and you have to let them go to school."

Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

"Actually, it's not as selfless as you said. I did this mainly for my purpose. I hope to re-establish my impression among the villagers."

"It will be much more convenient for me to do things in the future."

Su Wan said softly.

"But there is a problem. After you have successfully refined the salt, how do you give it to those people? Are you selling it directly or distributing it for free?"

"Haha... This is something for the future, don't think about it for now."

"But don't worry, this won't involve you in it."

Xiao Yu quietly looked at the woman for a few seconds.

"Ok."

"I promise you."

Su Wan was very excited after hearing the other party's promise.

"You really promised me?"

"Aren't you afraid that you may be put in the prison with me?"

"Hehe, there's nothing to be afraid of. After all, we are husband and wife."

"Even if we die, don't we have to die together?"

Xiao Yu looked at Su Wan with a half-smile.

After hearing what the other party said, Su Wan couldn't help but get goosebumps.

After eating, Xiao Yu started to clean up the dishes as usual.

"To be honest, I'm also very curious. In this deep mountain, where there is nothing to do, how can you refine salt? If you can do this, maybe your method will change the world."

After Xiao Yu said this inexplicably, she left the room with the bowl and chopsticks.

"Change the world?"

Su Wan looked at the burning oil lamp in front of him, it was the only light in the dark night.

"I don't want to change the world. As long as I can change this small home, I'm very satisfied."

"I just want to take care of my home, I don't care about anything else."

Su Wan looked at the two children not far away and slightly bent the corners of her mouth.

……

Su Wan got up early the next morning, if it was Xiao Yu who got up earlier than her.

Before dawn, they had already started chopping firewood.

After Su Wan made breakfast, Xiao Yu had already approved all the firewood for the next few days.

"Xiao Yu, do you know some martial arts?"

Su Wan asked suddenly behind her back.

When Xiao Yu heard what the other party said, he glanced at it very calmly.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because something doesn't feel right."

"You were already chopping wood before I got up. After I finished cooking, you chopped so much firewood that you didn't take a breath. You looked calm and relaxed."

"I can't help but wonder if you have practiced any martial arts?"

Xiao Yu's expression was calm when he heard this, but he felt a little concerned in his heart.

"Can you tell me what level it is? Can you perform lightness kung fu? For example, crossing a river with a reed! Flying over a wall! Flying with a sword! Or a somersault is worth a hundred thousand... Cough cough, it's over."

Xiao Yu stared at Su Wan like a fool.

"I don't understand what you said at all, but I practiced internal kung fu for several years when I was young."

"But it's not as exaggerated as you think."

"Usually chopping firewood, picking water, etc. is still a piece of cake."

When Su Wan heard what the other party said, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Fairy tales, no, novels are full of lies.

"Okay, since the firewood is ready, wash your hands quickly and come over to eat."

"You're supposed to be home all day today, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded.

"That's good, I don't worry if you are at home, so I can take the soap to the village to do some business, otherwise, when the deadline for going to the cloth shop is up, our family can't even get half of the money. "

Su Wan nodded.

"Last night, I made a dozen more bars of soap, thinking that I should be able to sell them for a good price."

"Are you back at noon?"

"It depends on the situation. If it sells well, I will come back. If it is not very good, I may come back later."

"Okay, I'll leave food for you when you come back."

After Su Wan finished eating, she picked up the basket and put all the soap in it.

Pick it up and go.

……

However, at this time, what Su Wan didn't know was that she would encounter trouble today.

At this time, many people were densely packed in Wang Po's house, making the originally crowded room even more crowded.

"I said, third child, can you stop squeezing in, and if you squeeze in again, you won't even have room to turn around."

"I don't want to either, but the point is that it's so cold outside, you can't put everyone inside to keep warm, and bully me to blow the cold wind outside."

Wang San stood at the door and yelled dissatisfiedly.

"No matter how cold it is outside, it will be fine if you stop for a while. You don't know the smell of your mouth. Once you open your mouth, don't stay in the house."
