The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 26: Overly Self-abased Brother Chen

Qi Xuan had used up too much energy that day, especially from swinging the axe and throwing stones. He was so hungry that Qi Yue asked them to go home for dinner. His mother had already prepared the meal and was waiting for them to go back.

The four of them went back to Wang's house for dinner. Aunt Wang looked at Lin Chen's red eyes and heard that those extremely bad relatives had come to make trouble. She felt very distressed and grabbed him to comfort him. When she heard that Qi Xuan wanted to register his own household registration and recognize Lin Chen as his brother, Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, "Good, good. Xiaoxuan and Xiaochen are both blessed children."

Aunt Wang wiped her tears and called them to come and eat quickly. Qi Xuan and Qi Yue took the initiative to help serve the dishes. Lin Chen also wanted to go but was pressed on the stool by Qi Yue, "Just prepare it for me and wait to eat." After saying that, she instructed Qi Zheng to keep an eye on Lin Chen and not let him get up.

This was the first proper meal Lin Chen had eaten since his grandmother passed away. Everyone was very caring towards him. He could only lower his head and eat his food vigorously to prevent his tears from flowing. Everyone saw it, but no one pointed it out. Let him cry. He would feel better after crying.

After dinner, Aunt Wang didn't keep them for long. Lin Chen was visibly tired, so she asked him to go back and rest. Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi were worried about him living alone, so they forced him to stay at home, letting Lin Chen and Qi Xuan live in one room while he cleaned up the small room and made do with it tonight.

Lin Chen slept very restlessly that night, crying the whole time and murmuring for his grandma. Qi Xuan also stayed up all night taking care of him and only fell asleep at dawn.

Similarly, Fu Jingyi didn't sleep much. This was the first time since getting married that he didn't sleep with his husband. Unless he went up the mountain, he would hug his fragrant husband the rest of the time. So he couldn't sleep, so he didn't sleep, and started thinking about how to improve the house.

It would not work if it was just a simple renovation. Chen Ge'er would live with them in the future. The two rooms in the house were not enough, so he planned to tear them down and rebuild. If Chen Ge'er wanted to sell Grandma Lin's house, he could buy it, connect the two sides, and build a big brick house. If Chen Ge'er didn't sell it, he would build a two-story building like the merchants in the town.

After making up his mind, he began to calculate the silver he would need to spend. In addition to the five hundred taels from Manager Wu, he would spend some of the two hundred taels in their box on the funeral shop and food, so he should have about one hundred and fifty or sixty taels left. An ordinary brick house would cost sixty to eighty taels. A blue brick house would be more expensive, so it might cost one hundred and twenty taels, and he wanted to build a big one.

I want to give my husband the best, so I want blue bricks. If we build the house according to his idea, plus make new furniture, two hundred taels will be enough. I decided to go to the brick kiln in the town early tomorrow morning to have a look.

When Lin Chen woke up, it was already daybreak. He slept in. Seeing the dark circles under Qi Xuan's eyes, he didn't wake him up and got out of bed carefully.

In the yard outside the house, Fu Jingyi had already prepared breakfast and started chopping wood. When Lin Chen came out, the sunlight dazzled his eyes. Hearing the noise, Fu Jingyi turned around and saw that it was Lin Chen, "Xiao Chen, you're awake."

Lin Chen opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He couldn't call him "Brother" today, which he did yesterday. Fu Jingyi didn't care and continued to chop wood. "Breakfast is warming on the stove, you can eat first. Don't worry about Xiaoxuan, let him sleep."

"Okay." Lin Chen was still a little reserved, and didn't dare to eat too much, for fear that he would cause too much burden to them. Fu Jingyi saw it but didn't say anything. He was a man and it was difficult for him to say some things. He would talk to Xiaoxuan later. His husband still had a way.

After Lin Chen had breakfast, he couldn't sit still. He wanted to go back and clean up the house. After all, that was where he and his grandmother lived, and there were many warm memories. He was about to tell Fu Jingyi to go home and clean up. He heard Qi Xuan's voice, "Xiao Chen, why don't you sleep a little longer."

"I can't sleep." Lin Chen lowered his eyes and whispered. "Brother Xiaoxuan, I want to go back and clean up the house."

Qi Xuan frowned, "You have to call me brother. I know you are not used to it yet, but you have to believe that we will always be with you." Knowing that Lin Chen was still upset, Qi Xuan patiently comforted him. "Also, remember to call me brother next time."

Pulling Lin Chen back to the table, "Eat some more with me. You'll have the strength to work only when you're full." At this time, Fu Jingyi also sat at the table, "You guys eat and listen to me."

He told Qi Xuan and Lin Chen what he had imagined last night when he couldn't sleep. Qi Xuan also thought that the two-story building was good, but he still had some concerns, "Brother Yi, we have already made them jealous by spending money to buy things for the village. If we build another two-story building, won't it be too ostentatious?"

Fu Jingyi hadn't considered this, because he never cared about what the villagers said. But now he has his husband and Lin Chen, so he has to think about them, as well as his godmother. "Indeed, I neglected it."

"Xiao Xuan..." Before Lin Chen could finish his shout, Qi Xuan glared back at him and he shouted again, "Brother." Qi Xuan narrowed his eyes and patted his head, "Good boy, what do you want to say."

Lin Chen paused and said, "I have decided to sell grandma's room. Otherwise, if they come to make trouble all the time, it will not be good for you. But if I follow you all the time, I will also be a burden to you." As he spoke, his eyes became red again.

Qi Xuan really wanted to pry open his head to see what was inside. He just wouldn't listen to anything he said. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Lin Chen again in a very formal manner, "Xiao Chen, first of all, I don't think you are a burden, but a nuisance. Brother Yi and I welcome you very much and we both like you. And I am not afraid of your awful relatives. You saw it last time. If they come again, I can still beat them away. Finally, you can make money with your craft. You are such a good embroidery worker. It's no problem to embroider some handkerchiefs and sell them in town."

Lin Chen stared at Qi Xuan in a daze, "Can I really do this? I can't... I..."

"Xiao Chen, don't feel inferior, you can do it. Ask your brother-in-law, the embroidery patterns in town are not as good-looking as yours." After saying that, the two brothers looked at Fu Jingyi in unison, which surprised the man and he nodded quickly, "Brother Chen's embroidery is more beautiful."

Qi Xuan nodded in satisfaction. This man is very sensible. He is worthy of being her husband. "If Chen Ge'er has finished embroidery, I can take it to the town. It will definitely be marketable."

"Next time we'll go to town together." Qi Xuan made the final decision. "Let's continue talking about Xiaochen selling the house." He thought for a moment, "If you want to sell it, why not sell it to us. Our two families are neighbors, and if we buy it, we can just connect."

As expected of a couple, they thought alike. Fu Jingyi nodded, "I thought about it too. If Chen Ge'er is willing, we can just connect the two and build a big brick house."
