I married a playboy at the beginning, and I changed my fate by eating delicious food
Chapter 8 Selling the Wedding Dress
It was late at night and everyone went back to their houses.
Xu Si was sitting on the bed in his shirt, looking at Shen Yanchen whose body was pressed against the door. He was very nervous, as if he was going to open the door and run away if something went wrong.
"What are you afraid of? Weren't you very arrogant yesterday? You want me to get out of your house?" She raised her eyebrows.
"What do I have to be afraid of? And I didn't say that on purpose." Shen Yanchen defended himself with his neck stiff.
"Once you say it, it means you have definitely thought about it."
Shen Yanchen didn't say anything this time. He did think so at the beginning.
Out of nowhere, there was another person in the house, who took over his wife's status and had to share a bed with him.
It's fine that she is being supported by her family, but she is an outsider and she always feels like she is being taken advantage of.
Later, his mother told him about the difficulties of divorce for a woman, and he temporarily accepted her. However, he still looked down on her character and wanted to say something bad about her whenever he got the chance.
Xu Si observed him quietly, his eyes somewhat oppressive.
According to her current understanding of Shen Yanchen, he is a selfish, lazy, unambitious, and foul-mouthed person, but not completely a bad person. He has his own moral principles, cares about his family, and respects his parents and brothers.
Just like this afternoon, she didn't bother with him because of his love for his sister.
As for his appearance, he looked good, with clear features and a slender figure. Although he looked a bit lazy, he still had the proper manners.
It is said that he never had any concubines before, because the Shen family has a monogamous tradition, and one can only take a concubine if he is childless after the age of 40.
Anyway, he is still clean and can be transformed.
"Come and sleep quickly? Do you still want to stay in the kitchen?" Xu Si made the bed and called out.
Shen Yanchen naturally didn't want to go to the kitchen. He slept in last night and felt uncomfortable all day.
Besides, this was originally his house, and it was right for him to sleep here.
Having prepared himself mentally, he had an expression of heroic sacrifice on his face. He walked to the bed with his chest straight, took off his shoes and was about to get into bed.
"Wait, take off your clothes first. Don't go to bed in dirty clothes." Xu Si saw that there were many stains on his clothes and felt a little disgusted.
Shen Yanchen felt a little aggrieved, but still did as he was told. He took off his coat and put it on the stool, then slowly climbed onto the bed.
"You sleep inside." Xu Si pushed him.
"Why? Men have to sleep outside." Shen Yanchen felt insulted, and his dignity as a man was thrown to the ground and rubbed again and again.
"There's no reason, I just like sleeping outside." Sleeping outside is convenient. I don't have to get up and step over others to drink water or go to the toilet.
"Hurry up, I'm sleepy." Xu Si urged.
"Oh," Shen Yanchen gave in. As a real man, it doesn't matter where he sleeps. Sleeping inside will save her from stepping on him.
Seeing him silently shrinking inside with his shoulders drooped, Xu Si suddenly wondered if he had gone a bit too far. However, seeing him acting like a young wife, he felt secretly happy.
After everything was packed up, Xu Si blew out the light and the room fell into darkness.
The moonlight poured through the window onto the ground. Both of them felt a little uncomfortable and tried to move to the side as far as possible, with a distance between them.
Xu Si was used to sleeping alone, and he always felt weird with someone around him.
Shen Yanchen used to think that the person next to him was not a threat and just treated him as an extra pillow. Now, the person next to him is so powerful that he can take his life if he disagrees with him. He is always worried.
In modern times, Xu Si usually went to bed at 10:. Even though he was not used to it now, he would still fall asleep in a daze at that time.
Only Shen Yanchen was left tossing and turning. Hearing her steady breathing, he became more depressed until he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next day, Xu Si woke up naturally when he heard someone coming out of the yard.
She didn't know when she had put her legs on Shen Yanchen's body, and she quietly took them back.
Hearing the rustling sound of Xu Si getting dressed, Shen Yanchen opened his eyes, took a look, and fell asleep again.
"A Si, you're awake. I've just boiled some hot water for you to wash your face." Lou Yue Xin said with a smile as she watched her come out of the house.
Thinking about how Achen had made her angry for two consecutive days, Lou Yuexin was very worried last night whether A Si would beat him up. She kept paying attention to the noise outside and only felt relieved when the lights in their room were turned off.
Xu Si took the hot water in a wooden basin and added some cold water. The bath beans rubbed her hands so hard that they hurt a little.
She looked up and saw that others were either brushing their teeth with willow twigs or washing their faces with bath beans. Their movements were so quick that Xu Si felt a little pain in her face and teeth just by watching them.
She washed like this yesterday and found it very inconvenient. It seems that she needs to find a way to improve it.
Lou Yuexin was the one cooking today. In the morning, I had the usual millet porridge. Perhaps inspired by her, I also added some shepherd's purse to it.
However, it seems that the shepherd's purse has been in there for a long time, so its color has turned darker and it looks a little wilted.
The family members went out to work, some were embroidering, some were catching earthworms. When Xu Si returned to the house, Shen Yanchen was still sleeping.
What a pig, he is not good at anything, eating and sleeping are his top priorities.
Xu Si took out the wedding dress he had put away yesterday and prepared to find a pawnshop to pawn it.
The original owner had rarely been out before and was not familiar with the specific conditions in the town.
After asking people along the way, Xu Si came to a larger pawnshop in the east market of the county. He entered with a package and left with 15 taels of silver in his arms.
She chose to pawn it dead, which would be more expensive.
In addition to the gold thread and pearls on the clothes, the material and embroidery craftsmanship on it are also rare. If it can be mended, I believe the price can be several times higher when it is sold in the pawn shop.
If the East Market is quiet and prosperous, the West Market is noisy and lively.
People come and go on the street, most of them wear tattered clothes, and they walk hurriedly, busy making a living.
In the very center of West Market there is an east-west street with a variety of shops and stalls. Almost everything you need can be found here.
"Shaobing, delicious sesame shaobing, 2 cents each."
"Freshly picked wild vegetables, 3 cents for two pounds."
"Big stuffed buns, meat ones are 3 cents, vegetarian ones are 2 cents, freshly out of the pot, hot, come and buy them."
The constant hawking sounds make people feel the full atmosphere of the market.
Xu Si was not in a hurry to buy. He walked along the street to see what was on sale and compare prices.
Finally, she chose to buy 2 kilograms of pork belly from Li the butcher, because his pork was the freshest, light red in color, and had a firm texture. She also secretly heard an old lady tell her friend that his butcher never shortchanged her on weight and was very honest.
Butcher Li looked fat, with his eyes squeezed into a slit by the flesh. He had a thick body and a big belly. He had a hearty smile and was very talkative.
"Is this your first time buying something, girl?"
"Yes, uncle has good eyesight."
"Not really, it's just that the people who usually buy meat are regular customers."
He sold things with conscience, so naturally they all recognized his shop. When the unfamiliar face Xu Si appeared, he immediately noticed him.
His hands kept moving and he cut the pieces skillfully. When it was weighed, it was exactly two kilograms.
"Wow," Xu Si looked at it in amazement.
Butcher Li seemed very satisfied with her reaction and laughed, "After doing this for a long time, if you weigh it with your hand, it's almost the same."
He found the largest leaf, wrapped the meat in it and handed it to her.
