Song Que frowned.

“Seventy or eighty taels is also a lot,” he continued.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned once again.

!!

“If it’s made of masonry bricks and roof tiles, it should cost around seventy to eighty taels,” she replied immediately.

Perhaps, she should ask around for the market price first?

Song Que frowned again.

“Why don’t we buy a dwelling in town?” he said.

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned yet again.

Of course, she wanted to live in town.

However, how could the courtyard dwellings in town be cheap?

Also, their expenses would increase if they stayed in town.

Not to mention buying vegetables and grain, even firewood had to be bought using money.

Alright… if she was more diligent, she could go out of town to pick firewood. However, as long as one entered the town, they had to pay the entrance fee.

Most importantly, she was relying on the village to do her business.

Did that mean she would stay in town but return to the village to go into the mountains to scavenge for mountain goods, and go into the river to catch fish?

This… wasn’t convenient.

The key was that Brook Falls Village was not far from town. If they were fast, they could reach there in less than half an hour.

In the future, when her family’s conditions were better, she could even buy an ox-cart and go to town faster.

“What’s the price of a courtyard dwelling in town?” Even though Qin Xiaoyao didn’t agree with him inwardly, she didn’t reject his idea outright. Instead, she asked Song Que for more details.

Life in town was definitely more convenient than in Brook Falls Village. Buying a courtyard dwelling in town would definitely cost a lot more than building a house in the village.

For a long period of time before the apocalypse, people were chasing real estate in the city. Some people even specialized in real estate speculation and made a lot of money.

Therefore, her attractive husband’s thoughts actually made some sense.

This time, it was Song Que’s turn to be stunned.

“The price varies greatly in different locations,” he immediately said.

Qin Xiaoyao thought, “Isn’t that a nonsensical answer?”

“What’s the general price?” she asked again.

Song Que frowned again.

“Around two hundred taels.” After thinking about it, he gave a figure.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart shuddered.

She didn’t reply anymore.

Good grief! Did he know how expensive daily necessities like firewood and rice were?

She already felt that it was very challenging to earn a hundred taels.

Yet her attractive husband still wanted to spend two hundred taels to buy a courtyard dwelling in town?

Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao didn’t reply for a long time, Song Que continued, “Actually, there’s no hurry to buy a courtyard dwelling. When the time comes, we can rent one first.”

Qin Xiaoyao was stunned again.

What? Spend money to rent a courtyard dwelling?

What was her attractive husband thinking? Why was he so obsessed with a courtyard dwelling in town?

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyao was feeling a little irritable.

She could somewhat understand the feelings of those men before the apocalypse who got married without having a good house.

When his fiancée or girlfriend asked him to buy a house in the city, but he didn’t have the money for the time being, what would be going through his mind?

Did he think that the other party was too materialistic and unreasonable?

Alright… she was feeling that way right now.

However…

Forget it.

After all, this was her husband, and she liked him so much.

“Alright, I’ll… try my best.” Suppressing the pressure in her heart, Qin Xiaoyao answered with her eyes closed.

Sigh! Who asked her to be the pillar of support for the family?

She should try her best to satisfy her husband’s request.

(Author: don’t be surprised why our female lead has such thoughts. The main thing was that after the apocalypse, both men’s and women’s strengths were held in high respect, and the social norm of men and women settling down early no longer existed. As the captain of a mercenary team, the female protagonist was a member of the elite after the apocalypse, and she consciously positioned herself as the head of the household.)

Song Que was stunned.

He had been mentally prepared to be rejected because even he himself felt that his words were not convincing enough.

If other people heard this, they might even think that he was being unreasonable and pestering Qin Xiaoyao.

However, this woman actually… agreed to it.

...

The rate of his heartbeat became chaotic for a moment, but then Song Que quickly regained his composure.

“Let’s continue with the story,” he continued.

“Alright…” Qin Xiaoyao dragged out the last syllable of her answer. She sounded helpless, like she was cajoling a child.

She was like a helpless boyfriend who had to continue coaxing his girlfriend after enduring her unreasonable tantrums.

Song Que turned his head to look at Qin Xiaoyao in the dark, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up in a smile.

He then enjoyed the service of his bedtime story with peace of mind.

The next day, after Qin Xiaoyao got up, she didn’t even eat. She carried the big wooden bucket and went to River Ringwaters with Big Girl Li.

After going into the water and working hard for some time, they actually hauled up nearly 40 catties of fish.

Big Girl Li’s face was filled with joy, and she kept chattering non-stop.

Qin Xiaoyao, on the other hand, had a lot on her mind. She only spoke to Big Girl Li occasionally while she focused on clearing out the fishing net.

“Sister Sanya… what’s wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?” Big Girl Li finally realized something was wrong with Qin Xiaoyao and asked.

...

“It’s nothing.” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t want to talk about it, so she simply mumbled a reply.

“Alright. Throw it back into the river,” she added.

“Okay,” Big Girl Li replied. She retracted her gaze in bewilderment.

Following that, she went down into the river to set up the fishing net with Qin Xiaoyao.

After a while, the net was relaid, and the two returned to the shore.

After walking for a long time, Qin Xiaoyao still didn’t say anything.

“Sister Sanya… are you really okay?” Big Girl Li asked worriedly.

Qin Xiaoyao gave Big Girl Li a side glance and sighed when she saw the worry on her face.

“Nothing much? It’s your Brother Song. He told me last night that he wanted to buy a courtyard dwelling in town.” Qin Xiaoyao finally told Big Girl Li what had been bothering her.

“Huh?” Big Girl Li was shocked.

Seeing her Sister Sanya looking at her, Big Girl Li said, “Didn’t you say you want to build the house in the village? Why are you going to town?”

She knew about her Sister Sanya’s plan to build a house. She was also very supportive.

After all, the thatched hut that the Song family was living in was indeed too shabby.

It was spring now, so the situation was still fine.

In the summer, the rains became heavier. When the storm came, the thatched hut might not be able to withstand it.

As for the winter, the thatched hut was definitely no good in fending off blizzards.

Even the winter chill would be a big challenge for the people staying in the hut.

“How would I know what he wants to do there? In short, he insisted on staying in town and even said that he was willing to rent a courtyard dwelling first!” Qin Xiaoyao grumbled.

Big Girl Li immediately looked at Qin Xiaoyao with sympathy.

Then, she stepped forward and patted Qin Xiaoyao’s shoulder.

When Qin Xiaoyao looked at her with a frown, she quickly released her grip and smiled at her.

“Gosh, Sister Sanya, don’t get so anxious now!”

“Building a house and buying a courtyard dwelling are both major things. Maybe this is just Brother Song’s spur-of-the-moment idea!”

“Anyway, it’s still a long time before your family can build a house or buy a courtyard dwelling. Maybe when that time comes, he will change his mind.”

Sigh! Things were really tough for her Sister Sanya!

Although she had married the most handsome man in their Mountain Spring Town, but…

Fortunately, she didn’t fall completely head over heels for Brother Song. Otherwise, if she were in her Sister Sanya’s position, she would definitely not be able to handle it.

Hah! Why did she suddenly miss her Daniu?

Qin Xiaoyao frowned and looked at Big Girl Li, who was beside her. She felt that the latter’s current expression was a big eye-sore.

Just as she was about to say something, Big Girl Li sensed the dangerous aura emanating from Qin Xiaoyao’s body. She quickly looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a fawning expression again.
