Chapter 7 Tell the Truth

Wan Qingkong didn't know if it was because of the outburst of her character, but she actually met a wild ginseng.

Although it was only about fifty years old, it was definitely the biggest harvest today.

Wan Qingkong was ready to go down the mountain since her harvest was better than expected.

On the way, she ran into a huntsman also entering the mountain. Wan Qingkong thought momentarily and decided to sell the pheasant and hare to him.

After all, it was not easy for her to enter the city now as she was an unregistered citizen. Although it was less money in this way, it was safe. As for herbs? She was not in a hurry.

When Zhou Gen and his wife came back with Household Registration Certificate, she would go to the county to sell them.

"Wait a minute." The huntsman stopped Wan Qingkong.

"What else can I do for you?"

"Here's the thing. If you go hunting in the mountain the day after tomorrow, you can still sell it to me."

The huntsman looked at the wound of the prey in his hand and knew that the seemingly young girl was good at martial arts, so he tried to speak.

He needed to pay the entrance fee to enter the city, so selling more prey at a time was always appropriate. Wan Qingkong thought about it and agreed, so she nodded.

"Okay, but I haven't entered the mountain many times. If there is any prey, I will send them to you."

After the huntsman told her the address of his residence, Wan Qingkong returned to the Zhou Family's house.

Since Mr. Zhou and his wife had yet to return, Wan Qingkong had to make her food.

Wan Qingkong kept feeling that cooking shouldn't be so much trouble for her in her memory.

Fortunately, Wan Qingkong learned quickly, and she had no problem making a fire and cooking by herself. The most important thing was that her cooking skills were excellent.

"As expected, I can not only hold my own in the boardroom but also can hold a pot in the kitchen."

After a simple meal and a quick wash-up, Wan Qingkong began planning for her future.

Wang Qingyan didn't look foolish, so he should agree to her proposal.

Then, she had to make some preparations before marriage. Once her marriage was not happy in the future, she would also have the capital to divorce, so the most important thing was to make money.

Wan Qingkong didn't know how much the ginseng she dug could be sold for, and she had to continue to hunt in the mountain.

She couldn't sell all her prey to the huntsman. She understood the principle of keeping a low profile.

Wan Qingkong wrote and drew on the ground. When she was finally ready, she fell asleep with peace of mind.

Early the following day, she saw Wang Qingyan waiting outside the door.

"Eh? Why are you here so early? Have you eaten yet?"

Wan Qingkong had already prepared the ingredients last night and lit the fire.

Initially, she wanted to bring lunch, but now that Wang Qingyan was here, it was just enough to eat.

The key was to let Wang Qingyan taste his cooking and know how virtuous she was to make a good impression on him.

"No need. I'll go back and eat."

Wang Qingyan quickly shook his head. How could he be so shameless?

"Don't be embarrassed. Try my cooking. After all, we are going to get married."

Wan Qingkong said generously and then went into the kitchen to take out bowls and chopsticks to invite him to breakfast. He also asked Wang Qingyan to help serve the dishes. Her attitude was very natural.

"How did you know I would agree?"

Wang Qingyan looked at Wan Qingkong, who was so calm, as if they were an old couple, which made Wang Qingyan a little shy.

"Why didn't you agree with me? I am so nice. You're not stupid?"

Wang Qingyan found that he didn't know how to refute, so he could only take the food handed over by Wan Qingkong in a daze.

"Have a taste." Wan Qingkong said and ate first.

Although she knew a lot of recipes, it took a lot of work for her to use the tools in the kitchen. She still needed to improve her ability to cook.

"It's delicious." Wang Qingyan was no longer polite.

Wan Qingkong was willing to add seasonings so the food she made tasted good. She wondered how Mr. Zhou and his wife would react when they returned and saw the empty kitchen.

"My family is poor. You may not be too rich after marrying me, but you don't have to worry. I will work hard to make money."

Since he had decided to marry Wan Qingkong, Wang Qingyan would take the responsibility.

He didn't know what the Zhou Family had told Wan Qingkong, but he couldn't lie to her.

Wang Qingyan didn't know why a girl like Wan Qingkong wanted to marry him. But once they married, Wan Qingkong would be his family, and he would treat her well.

"I know, I know a little about your family situation.

Don't worry. If one is good to me, I will treat the other well. If one is not good to me, I won't give the person face."

The Wang Family's wealth had probably been depleted when they gave the Zhou Family the betrothal gift, and Wan Qingkong didn't expect much.

As for the person? How could she allow herself to be bullied?

Wang Qingyan was a huntsman, and she could help him in the future. They would always live a good life as long as they set out.

Compared with the trouble brought by the unregistered citizen, Wan Qingkong naturally knew how to choose. She chose to get married and marry a handsome guy who had a good character.

Wang Qingyan scratched his head. He always felt that Wan Qingkong was implying that his family would be vivacious in the future.

After the two reached an agreement, Wang Qingyan decided to leave.

They could be considered an unmarried couple, but they still had to pay attention to the influence.

As for the wedding date, Wan Qingkong would arrange it according to the previous arrangement of Zhou Qiao'er. Wang Qingyan had no objection to this.

In the next two days, Wan Qingkong went to the mountain again. But this time, she was unlucky and didn't pick any precious medicinal materials. She only caught a few pheasants and hares.

She sold half of it to the huntsman and ate the rest to nourish her body. After all, she was still young and was still growing.

To the disappointment of Wan Qingkong, she had only saved two taels of silver so far.

Wan Qingkong felt it was hard to make money, but she was not disappointed. She worked hard to let herself eat and drink well every day. Her body was capital, and she wouldn't be bad for her health.

"Mom, Dad, this is the Household Registration Certificate you asked for. You have to be careful. Don't let her run away with the things you gave her. Otherwise, we will suffer a great loss."

"Don't worry, Qiao'er. We will give her this Household Registration Certificate on the day of her marriage. It will never delay anything.

I hope you take good care there. If you have some benefit, consider about your elder brother.

If your elder brother has made a name, you will be good there.

We will come to the county as soon as possible after dealing with the affairs of the Wang Family. With us here, we can support you."

Zhou Gen looked at Zhou Qiao'er and said. Zhou Qiao'er nodded and gave them a bunch of money to them.

It was not that she was stingy, but that Zhou Qiao'er only got two taels of silver a month, and she had not rich before, so of course, she had to save money.

Although Zhou Gen and his wife thought it was too little, they knew that Zhou Qiao'er had not yet gained a firm foothold, so they could not be anxious.

They returned happily after telling Zhou Qiao'er to give birth to the child as soon as possible.

Zhou Gen and his wife said in front of Zhou Qiao'er that they were confident dealing with the engagement but still weak inside.

They knew little about her, having lived with Wan Qingkong for so long. On the contrary, they had been tricked into doing many things. The two of them began to be extremely careful.

However, when Zhou Gen and his wife got home and didn't see Wan Qingkong, their hearts skipped a beat.
