Chapter 206: Chapter 197 Secret The two of them embraced each other, and Rong Yan could feel that Qin Ye had calmed down after who knows how long. So she let go of him, “Are you hungry? There’s food in the pot.” Qin Ye’s mood had indeed settled, and at this moment, his face showed a slight bashfulness. “...I’m not hungry.” No sooner had he spoken than his stomach betrayed him with an ill-timed growl, which in the silent night was particularly conspicuous. He instantly turned beet red, acutely embarrassed. “All right, the food in the pot is what your mother-in-law stewed for you. If you don’t eat it now, I bet she’s going to nag about it first thing tomorrow morning!” Qin Ye had no choice but to stand up, “...Then I’ll go out to eat first.” Upon saying this, he turned and left. It was as if he could feel the teasing gaze of his wife behind him, making his steps quicken. Ten minutes later, Qin Ye returned. He had obviously washed up. Rong Yan looked at him, “Tell me! What exactly happened?” Qin Ye met her gaze, pursed his lips slightly, and began to recount the events... Rong Yan felt her anger rising as she listened. After he finished, she couldn’t help but blurt out, “Trash.” Upon hearing this word, Qin Ye’s mouth lifted slightly, and the gloom on his face vanished completely. “Don’t be angry...” Rong Yan glanced at him. She might not be upset if it happened to someone else, but him... it would be strange if she weren’t. “Rest assured, ‘this kind of people’ are no longer going to have a chance to live, and moreover, this case will definitely be cleared up quickly.” If that Qin Fulin really kept his mouth shut so tightly, then... A trace of iciness flashed swiftly in Rong Yan’s eyes. She had countless ways to make that man talk, even if he was hiding in a cell. Qin Ye nodded. He still had a lot of faith in those police comrades; their investigative abilities were quite strong. It hadn’t been long... hadn’t they already cleared up the case of that woman who was left with only half a skeleton? Rong Yan glanced at Qin Ye and said abruptly: “Didn’t I tell you last time that there was something very important I needed to discuss with you? Now, I’m going to tell you.” When Qin Ye heard these words, he remembered; that day, when they went up the mountain, she had originally wanted to talk, but they ended up encountering a wolf. However, what on earth did she want to tell him? Rong Yan arched an eyebrow, chuckled lightly, “Watch closely, and don’t get scared.” With a flip and a point of her right hand, suddenly, a bag of rice appeared out of thin air on the kang bed. Qin Ye’s eyes widened in shock at the sight. “What, what is this?” “Rice!,” Rong Yan declared, her eyes twinkling with mirth as she stared at him, “You don’t think I’m a demon, do you?” She might have been smiling and looking relaxed, but who knew what was truly in her heart! Although Qin Ye couldn’t understand why the bag of rice had appeared out of nowhere, He immediately shook his head at his wife’s question without any hesitation: “No, you’re my wife. Regardless of whether you’re human or demon, you’re still my wife.” Rong Yan rolled her eyes, “After the founding of the country, one is not allowed to turn into a spirit... I’m obviously human, it’s just that I’ve had some luck, and besides, these things aren’t for free; you have to exchange money or goods for them, just a bit cheaper than if we’d buy them ourselves.” She then pointed at the bag of rice on the kang bed. “See this? This ten-jin bag of rice would cost one yuan and five if you bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative, but I got it here for thirty cents less, and without needing ration tickets. Everything else is cheaper, too, almost like the cooperative’s wholesale price, and you don’t need tickets for anything.” She gave a pointed look at the stunned man, “As long as it’s available on the market, I can get it, as long as the money’s right.” Qin Ye’s breathing tightened. Even if his mind wasn’t the sharpest, he understood what this meant. Moreover, he had a sudden realization about the key matter over the past days, “So, all these foods at home, they were all bought with the money you got from selling things?” Rong Yan nodded. As for the planting, she didn’t elaborate, lest she scare him. “Wife, besides me, who else knows about this?” Qin Ye’s expression was somewhat serious. If he had to choose between a good life and her well-being, he’d definitely prefer her to be safe and sound. “I haven’t told anyone else, just you and me. Also, I don’t plan on telling my parents, so as not to shock them.” Originally, she had no intention of telling him either, but selling things for money... she found it bothersome. It’s better to have him do it. They were husband and wife, and spent a lot of time together; always keeping secrets from each other... it was somewhat inconvenient for her. When Qin Ye heard that she had only told him, a feeling of smug satisfaction bubbled up within him. That only the two of them knew... did that mean he was the person his wife trusted the most? Thinking of this, he felt a surge of excitement. “Wife, rest assured, I won’t let a third person know about this. From now on, anything you want to sell, I’ll handle it.” Rong Yan was very pleased with his response; this had been her plan all along, “Okay.” Qin Ye calmed himself, “Alright, it’s getting late, let’s sleep!” Rong Yan raised her eyebrows. It seems he’s no ordinary person! If others experienced such miraculous things, wouldn’t they be excited all night long? But his reaction was so calm. Indeed, he was the man she had set her sights on. “Okay, let’s sleep! We’ll start making big money tomorrow.” Qin Ye silently moved the bag of rice on the kang to one side. After climbing onto the kang, he suddenly remembered something and asked earnestly, “Wife, does this... have any effect on your health? If it does, we should stop using it... I can earn money, and I will make sure you have a good life in the future.” Implicitly, he was suggesting she use her miraculous powers as little as possible. He could endure anything else, but he couldn’t bear the pain of losing her. Rong Yan looked at his worried expression, and the curve of her lips struggled to stay contained. “Don’t worry, it doesn’t affect me... Sometimes I just resell some things, I’m not doing it all the time; it’s not a sustainable plan.” When Qin Ye heard his wife’s words, he breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that his wife had everything under control, his heart felt at ease. Even though he knew his wife had such abilities, he had no plans to rely solely on them to get rich. After all, being cautious doesn’t mean you can cover all the bases. “Let’s sleep!” He lay down, and after seeing his wife lie down as well, he reached over to turn off the light. Then, he extended his hand... “Wife, may I?” Rong Yan: ... He sure has a big heart; after going through so much in one day, he still has this on his mind. Without waiting for her answer, the next second, the person beside her rolled over, almost pinning her under his weight. Thus passed another night of sore backs and joy. The next day, when Rong Yan woke up and opened her eyes, she found herself looking directly into his magnified face, which was admittedly quite handsome. “Wife, you’re awake!” His voice was filled with joy.
