Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Both Talented and Good-Looking

Ever since she was reborn, Su Wenyue had always stayed at the Han Family, having yet to go anywhere else except her mother’s family. When she heard that Han Yu wanted to take her into the city, she couldn’t contain her excitement. The Su Family, seeing that their daughter would be accompanied by Han Yu, had no concerns about her safety and let them go.

In order not to waste time on the road, they used the horse carriage from the Su Mansion to go to Xinye County. Han Yu was not particular about it; since the carriage would get them to the county town faster, he didn’t insist on using their own ox cart. Since it was an item from his wife’s parents’ home and could be borrowed, he saw no reason not to do so, and he didn’t harbor any inferiority complex either. Instead, he found it amusing to see his daughter-in-law so eager and couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile.

He grew up in the village, where a peasant family doesn’t have so many rules. Whether it’s unwed girls or married daughters-in-law, going to town was an easy matter, without the fuss of Wealthy Families about women not showing their faces in public. Going to the market or shopping in the city was a common affair, unless it was a daughter who was newly betrothed and waiting to get married, who would then try to go out as little as possible.

However, his daughter-in-law had been pampered by her parents since she was young. Although the Su Family didn’t live in the city, they were not just any rich household and had connections with Chang’an. Naturally, there were more rules at home, and with a daughter-in-law as beautiful and adorable as she was, even he wouldn’t feel at ease if she went to the city alone, let alone her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and the two cousins who kept her under constraints at home. It was normal for her to want to go out and have fun.

“If you like it, I’ll take you to the city whenever I have time, seeing how happy you are.”

“You don’t need to take me; I can go by myself, just ride the ox cart with the daughters-in-law from the village. Xiao Xi takes care of my errands and there’s also a horse carriage; going to the County Town is convenient. My father, mother, and elder brothers used to love controlling me, saying I couldn’t do this or that. But having married, I’m now free; they can’t control me anymore.”

Su Wenyue said cheerfully. Being married wasn’t without its perks; although some people in the Han Family didn’t get along with her, no one would interfere with her going into town. She just had to inform them. When there was a market, some daughters-in-law from the village would often bring local products or shoes they made themselves to sell at the market. Selling them would also make some money to help with household expenses. Su Wenyue found this quite interesting.

Han Yu didn’t oppose her saying this. Their Xinye County had always been peaceful, rarely had anything alarming happened. If other daughters-in-law could go, he had no reason to restrict his own. Nevertheless, he was still somewhat worried and cautioned, “You can go to the county town for fun, but not alone. You must bring Xiao Xi with you or let me accompany you. If I find out you didn’t listen, then you won’t be allowed to go anymore.”

“I know; I’ll bring Xiao Xi next time. She even knows Kung Fu; with her around, I will be very safe,” Su Wenyue promised, but she feared that Han Yu would try to stop her, just like her father, mother, and brothers did.

When they reached the County Town, it was indeed bustling, especially since today was the big market day. The streets were crowded with people and various vendors. Su Wenyue looked here and there, ending up buying quite a lot. However, since the Han Family had not yet separated, she had to be cautious about spending money. Su Wenyue was very frugal and thought that life would be better if she could separate from the family earlier.
