The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Yan Zhenshen had no idea about spending two hundred coins to buy a wood carving. As long as her husband liked it, it would be fine. Besides, the red rope and red wood did look festive and would be nice to wear at the wedding.

Yan Zhenshen picked out two more headbands. He couldn't let his little husband tie his hair with a piece of rag again.

Chu Xiao went to get two more silk flowers, the kind that women pin behind their heads when they have their hair tied up, one for each of his mother and third sister.

When the waiter saw that the woman and her brother had bought everything, he asked, "Do you need a hair crown?"

Chu Xiao looked in the direction the waiter pointed, and found that there was a small shelf with a dozen hair crowns on it. He knew this thing because he had one on Zhang Xiucai's head the last time he saw him. However, men from ordinary farming families did not wear these as it was inconvenient to work. Instead, they would wrap their hair with cloth towels. Firstly, the hair would not fall down, and secondly, it would not easily get dirty.

Nowadays, both men and women have long hair, and it takes an hour or so to wash your hair. Who has that much free time?

"No need." Yan Zhenshen replied.

The guy still had a smile on his face. He was just asking. The reason why the hair crown was placed in the corner was because there really were not many people buying it. After all, those who really needed to wear the crown were not short of money and had all bought it in East Street.

After paying the money, the two of them left the jewelry store. Chu Xiao looked at Yan Zhenshen intentionally or unintentionally, and even wondered if this man would look better with a headband and a long robe.

When passing by a pastry shop, Yan Zhenshen asked Chu Xiao to pick out some pastries, and also bought brown sugar, yellow sugar and red dates, and also bought some candied candies. The prices were not cheap, and he spent three hundred coins on these few items.

But Yan Zhenshen didn't feel bad at all. His husband didn't like bitter taste, so he just let him eat more sweet food.

Chu Xiao had never eaten anything delicious, so he wouldn't be greedy if he didn't buy it, because it was useless to be greedy, and other people's things would not be given to you easily. But it was different if you bought something yourself.

So when he came out of the pastry shop, he kept staring at the pastry in his hand. He wanted to eat it, but he wanted to go home and eat it with everyone even more. He was very conflicted.

Yan Zhenshen glanced at him, then opened an oil-paper package and handed it to him: "Try it first to see if it tastes good."

Chu Xiao swallowed his saliva and said, "Why don't we go back and eat later?"

"It's still early to go back. You're weak and can't starve." Yan Zhenshen said as he handed it forward again.

Chu Xiao couldn't resist the temptation after all.

Chu Xiao took a bite and found it sweet and soft. "Delicious."

Seeing that the man was looking at her, Chu Xiao handed the pastry to his mouth. Yan Zhenshen wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that last time he fed him the candied haws, he refused to eat and his husband was angry, so he quickly lowered his head and took a bite.

Chu Xiao was happy. She ate while walking and occasionally passed the food to the man's mouth, enjoying the joy of being fed.

After noon, the weather was still very hot. The two planned to go back by ox cart. However, since few people came to the county town in summer, ox cart drivers only ran once in the morning and once in the evening, and there was no car at this time.

He had no choice but to go back. Yan Zhenshen went back to buy a bamboo tube of plum soup and then went back.

On the way back, they both walked very slowly. When they were almost at the village entrance, they saw Li Xiulan sitting under a big tree, chatting with a few women while doing needlework.

The other women saw the two of them and wanted to speak, but after seeing Li Xiulan's expression, they shut up.

Instead, a straightforward husband asked, "Hunter Yan and Brother Chu are going to the county town?"

"Yes, Uncle Liu."

Li Xiulan didn't want to pay attention to these two people, but since someone started talking, she couldn't pretend not to see it. "He didn't recognize his aunt when he went to Yan's house. He didn't even say hello when they met."

"Whose aunt are you? Haven't I been kicked out of the house?" Chu Xiao asked with some confusion.

"Then I am also your aunt. I have raised you for eleven years."

Chu Xiao was too lazy to argue with Li Xiulan, so he said, "Okay, I'll go home soon. I'm getting married in a few days. According to local marriage customs, you have to prepare two quilts, two sets of new clothes, and..."

Li Xiulan got anxious when she heard this and interrupted directly: "Haven't you already received the marriage certificate? You are a member of the Yan family. What's more, your dowry is six acres of land and ten taels of silver. Who in the surrounding villages has a dowry as large as yours?"

"That was left to me by my father, not given by Chu Lao Er." Chu Xiao snorted coldly: "Don't act like you're at a disadvantage. You can also ask around. Raising a child for eleven years to eat leftovers, sleep in a woodshed, help raise chickens and pigs, wash clothes and cook, and even do farm work. If you don't pay, you can still earn six acres of land and three rooms. Is there anyone willing?"

"You little beast, you think you'll have someone to back you up if you marry a butcher. I'll wait and see if you'll still be so sharp-tongued when the day comes when you're despised."

"Xiao'er is a member of my Yan family. This aunt from the Chu family had better be more careful in the future. Although I don't want to argue with a woman, if you insult my husband and I hear it, I don't mind being called unreasonable." Yan Zhenshen usually never smiles, and his cold face is even more terrifying.

The women immediately fell silent.

Chu Xiao smiled rudely: "Li Xiulan, tell the Chu family to stop messing with me, or Brother Shen will take care of you."

It feels good to have someone's support.

"Brother Shen, let's go home." Chu Xiao happily took him away.

After the people left, the women were still in shock. One of them said, "Li Xiulan, don't be angry. We are all family."

"What's your business?" Li Xiulan yelled angrily.

"Humph, you think you're awesome? If you have the guts, go and scold Chu Xiaoxiao and see if Hunter Yan can take care of your family."

Li Xiulan didn't reply. She packed up her needlework and went home.

At this time, Chu Wanwan was drawing her eyebrows and dressing up in front of a bronze mirror at home. Before it got dark after dinner, she wanted to go around the village to see if she could run into her brother Yi Ju.

Li Xiulan walked in angrily, and when she saw Chu Wanwan not washing clothes or cooking, she knew that she was conceited and became even more angry.

He entered the kitchen and started throwing things around, making constant banging and clanging noises.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He had no place to vent, so he could only stand in the yard and say to Chu Wanwan, "Did you cut grass for the pigs when I asked you to? Did you clean the chicken coop? You didn't even wash your father and brother's clothes, and you were still drawing eyebrows. Clean the chicken coop first, then go out and cut grass for the pigs. I'm feeding you a pig who eats for free. If you don't finish your work, you won't have to eat at night."

Chu Wanwan felt very aggrieved when her mother pointed at her nose and scolded her. She glanced at her face in the bronze mirror. The makeup she had just put on would all be wasted if she worked.

Besides, the chicken coop is so smelly that she would be contaminated by the smell, so she didn't want to go there. She still had to go find her brother Yi Ju.

"Are you still sitting there?" Li Xiulan yelled again when she saw that the man didn't move at all.

Chu Wanwan felt unhappy when she was yelled at. She picked up the backpack awkwardly with a droopy face and said, "I'll go cut grass for the pigs, okay?"

She went out for a walk. There was no mention of how much she would cut, so it was just a token of her appreciation. She would not go to clean the chicken coop.
