Chapter 30 -30 An Jing That’s Called Domineering_1

After Lin Ming and his group had left, Xiao Zheng and his party also planned to leave. But before leaving, Xiao Zheng’s expression turned grave as he said to Xiao Changyi, “Don’t cause any more trouble for the Xiao clan.”

An Jing, who was extremely protective, lost all her favorable impression of Xiao Zheng the moment she heard his words. Had Xiao Zheng not turned around and walked away immediately after speaking, she would definitely have retorted sharply.

Seeing An Jing glaring in the direction Xiao Zheng had left, Xiao Changyi couldn’t hold back any longer. He raised his hand to stroke An Jing’s head, and she immediately softened, smiling with her eyes curved like a contented cat, allowing Xiao Changyi to pet her.

After Xiao Changyi had his fill of petting her, he helped An Jing into the inner chamber.

As he helped An Jing sit on the bed, he said, “I’ve already spoken to the village chief, and once your foot injury heals, we’ll have our wedding ceremony.” “Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the town to make our wedding garments.”

In this era, bridal garments were typically made by the women themselves, and since An Jing absolutely could not sew, Xiao Changyi’s decision was one she wholeheartedly agreed with.

Only—

“Do you have money?” An Jing asked. It was no wonder she would ask such a question; their home was so poor that she doubted they could afford to make wedding clothes.

Xiao Changyi didn’t speak, but took out a purse and handed it to An Jing, who, without any hesitation, opened it to look inside and then found it held two taels of broken silver and five copper coins.

Having two taels of silver put one at a middling level of savings in Jiuping Village’, something the Lin Anjing family didn’t even have.

Yet, An Jing’s face showed no signs of happiness. Instead, she frowned and looked plaintively at Xiao Changyi, asking, “With money at hand, why didn’t you buy some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar?”

She had looked through the kitchen, where she found a little salt but no oil, sauce, or vinegar for seasoning.

Embarrassed for a change, Xiao Changyi cleared his throat and said, “My cooking doesn’t taste good whether I add seasonings or not, so I just didn’t bother.” Hence, there was no need to buy them.

An Jing: “…”

Seeing An Jing’s face turning red with the effort to hold back her laughter, Xiao Changyi fell silent before finally saying, “You can laugh.”

“Pfft~” An Jing finally laughed without restraint. Her husband was really too adorable~

Xiao Changyi just watched An Jing laugh. Although his poor cooking skills were somewhat embarrassing, seeing An Jing’s cheerful laughter still made him very happy inside.

Once her laughter subsided, An Jing said, “From now on, I’ll cook, I make really tasty dishes.”

“Mhm.”

“Then shall we buy some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar?” An Jing looked at Xiao Changyi with expectant eyes.

“Mhm.”

Thinking of having salt and oil in their dishes in the future, An Jing couldn’t be happier. She patted the space beside her, “What are you standing there for? Come and sit.”

Xiao Changyi obediently sat down.

The two sat quite close to each other, but neither felt any discomfort, as if it was meant to be just like that.

“Are you planning to carry me to the town tomorrow? That would be too far.”

“We’ll go by ox cart, and return the same way after. Besides making our wedding clothes, we’ll also need to buy some things for the wedding.” He paused for a moment before asking, “How many tables do you want for the wedding feast?”

“No more than three tables at most. I don’t think many people will attend our wedding banquet, but I don’t mind, and neither should you. As long as you care about me, that’s all that matters. Forget about those people,” An Jing said with an air of authority.

A smile that Xiao Changyi could hardly suppress quirked at the corners of his mouth, “Alright, then three tables it is.”

“Actually, I feel like none of that stuff is very important,” An Jing suddenly added, “What’s important is that we need to make a sturdy bed. The one we’re sitting on now gives me no sense of security when I sleep alone; I always feel like it’s going to collapse. If both of us were to sleep on it, I’m certain it would.”
