Chapter 19 

She thought, “Just forget it, let’s go all out, and do it like Xiaolan said!”

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and reached for Qin Feng’s rough hand. Then, gritting her teeth, she…

What she touched was a soft bundle, and Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes.

Through the thin layer of clothing, Taohua moved Qin Feng’s hand.

Qin Feng’s breath tightened, and he instinctively applied more pressure with his hand.

Although Taohua had bitten her lip, her soft voice still escaped her mouth.

“Brother Qin…”

“Hm,” Qin Feng emitted a sound from deep in his throat and suddenly leaned in, swallowing the sweet sound of Taohua completely.

Taohua felt like the man was a fire, holding her from behind and almost burning her into confusion.

The next day.

Qin Feng woke up early. When he was making noise, Taohua was still groggy.

Seeing that his little wife couldn’t even open her eyes, Qin Feng decided to let her sleep a little longer:

“Why don’t I go to the town alone today? It’s a round trip of more than ten miles. If you want anything, just tell me.”

Upon hearing that Qin Feng didn’t plan to take her to the town, Taohua immediately sat up in bed.

“I’ll go, I’ll go, Brother Qin! I want to go with you!”

Taohua repeated it three times, and Qin Feng was stunned for a moment.

This girl, so excited… It’s not like she wasn’t allowed to go, it’s just that he thought she was sleeping so peacefully.

As he tied his belt, he said, “Then lie down for a little longer. I’ll go heat some water.”

Taohua stuck to her words, “I’m going with you!”

She said this while putting on her clothes and trying to crawl out of bed.

But as soon as she moved, she let out a soft “ah.”

“What’s wrong?” Qin Feng thought there might be a centipede or something in the bed, so he immediately lifted the blanket.

As the blanket was lifted, Taohua’s legs were exposed to Qin Feng’s eyes. In the dim morning light, her skin was so white it almost hurt his eyes.

“Cold, Brother Qin.”

“I thought there were bugs in the bed.” Qin Feng saw that Taohua was fine and covered her back up with the blanket. “What happened just now? What was it?”

“Hmm…” Taohua hesitated, “When I moved just now… something came out. Brother Qin…”

Taohua looked at Qin Feng with longing, her voice soft and delicate: “Am I going to get pregnant with our baby soon?”

Qin Feng stood still, stunned for a moment. He had never really thought about this matter before.

But since he and his little wife were already a married couple, having children was just a matter of time.

Although he had never thought about it before, for some reason, he suddenly felt a bit excited now.

“Let’s see what fate has in store. Maybe we’ll have a baby soon. Be good, lie down for now, and I’ll bring you some water shortly.”

Taohua nodded. Her waist and legs were still a little sore, and she really did want to lie down a little longer.

However, at this time, Taohua couldn’t sleep anymore. Her mind was filled with thoughts of whether they would be lucky when they went out later.

After all, she had just been with Qin Feng twice the night before, and now she was waiting for him to bring her good fortune!

Not long after, Qin Feng came in holding a basin of hot water.

By the time Taohua finished washing up, Qin Feng had already prepared breakfast and the pelts and game they were taking to the town to sell.

Although these things didn’t look like much, they filled up two large baskets.

Today also happened to be the market day, and Taohua was hoping they could sell everything for a good price.

However, when they arrived at the market, there were already quite a few hunters from other villages setting up stalls.

The young couple now had some competition.

Taohua had been hoping that the things Qin Feng brought would sell for a good price, but when she looked around, it seemed like the entire street was nearly covered in furs.

“How did this happen?” Taohua couldn’t help but mutter. “So many people are selling furs.”

“It’s probably because the New Year is approaching,” Qin Feng replied. “Others probably thought the same as us and saved up their furs for half a year to sell now.”

Seeing that Taohua seemed disappointed, he comforted her, “If we can’t sell them today, I can always go to the county town in a couple of days.”

“But the county town is so far!”

As they were talking, a middle-aged man came over to greet them.

It seemed that he and Qin Feng knew each other from before, and the two quickly started chatting.

The man sighed, “This year’s New Year is probably going to be tough. I heard that our old customer, the fur trader, collected a lot of good furs up north this year, so by the time he gets here, he might not buy much from us.”

“We both missed the last market,” the man continued, “and that time, he bought quite a few furs. This time, though, he might not take much. If I had known, I wouldn’t have kept my furs at home, hoping to sell them for a good price over the New Year. Now, it’s all going to be stuck in my hands!”

Hearing this, Qin Feng furrowed his brows slightly.

Previously, when he went to ask for Taohua’s hand in marriage, he had spent all the money he had saved up.

Actually, the New Year didn’t mean much to him. He could make do with whatever food or shelter he had.

But now things were different. He had a family. He couldn’t let his little wife suffer and eat simple meals during the New Year.
