Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 207: Rumors ( 4 )

After Yao Zhi was done, the sun had slanted toward the western horizon. She quickly stored everything in her system’s storage and prepared dinner and hot water for her husband.

As usual, they had dinner together, and after taking a bath, they sat on the bed. Yao Zhi locked the door and asked, "Husband, do you still have space in your spatial bag?"

Fu Chen’an nodded and replied, "There is still a lot of space left."

"Great," Yao Zhi said, nodding as she took out the food she had prepared for him. "Husband, I made these over the past 2 days. You can keep them in your spatial bag and eat them during an emergency."

Knowing that his wife had put a lot of effort into preparing these, Fu Chen’an didn’t refuse and stored them in his spatial bag.

She thought that was all, but after he finished storing the food, she took out 2 massive water vats. The vats were so large that just 2 of them were enough to take up all the space in their room.

Seeing her husband staring at the water vats without moving, Yao Zhi reminded him, "Husband, this is mountain spring water. I collected a total of 50 vats for you."

"If it’s for drinking only, 1 vat is enough for 1,000 people. During an emergency, this amount of water is enough for 50,000 people."

"Although it’s enough to save many lives, you must prioritize your own. Don’t foolishly give out all your food and water," she added seriously.

Hearing this, Fu Chen’an was stunned. He never expected his wife to think this far ahead. He nodded and replied softly, "I understand."

For the next 30 minutes, the two of them were busy taking out and storing the massive clay water vats. After they were done, Yao Zhi checked her system’s farmland granary.

Since the last system upgrade, the farmland had already harvested crops 10 times. At this moment, there were a total of 160,000 kilograms of millet and quinoa in her granary.

For long-term consumption, mixing millet and quinoa was good for sustaining muscle strength and digestive health. Both were considered superfoods and were high in protein and fiber.

After thinking for a moment, she turned to her husband and said, "Husband, actually, the reward given by the General has almost been used up by me."

When he heard this, Fu Chen’an wasn’t surprised. The reward was 500 taels of gold, but the golden soft armor she gave him had already cost more than that.

So, he didn’t blame her and replied, "If it’s used up, then it’s used up. I will earn more money for you to spend."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi was taken aback. She observed him for a while and didn’t see any anger or annoyance. "Husband, are you not angry? I spent more than 500 taels of gold."

"Why should I be angry?" Fu Chen’an asked in confusion.

After a brief pause, he added, "You are my wife. Spending my money is your right. What’s more, I work hard so you can live comfortably. If you only saved the money, then what’s the point of me earning it?"

Seeing her widened eyes, he smiled and held her hands. "Wife, money is meant to be spent. Rather than letting it gather dust in a corner, it would be more meaningful if it could make you happy."

"What’s more, you are very capable. You can earn money on your own. Compared to you, my earnings are actually nothing," he added with a sigh.

Noticing her husband’s sense of inferiority, Yao Zhi frowned and said, "Husband, did you forget my words? I said before that what I earn today is all thanks to you. So never look down on yourself."

"I understand, but I can’t help it," Fu Chen’an said softly, staring at their intertwined fingers. "Wife, I’m just a rough man. I don’t know many words, and my family is poor."

"As the eldest son, I have to send money back every year to support my parents and younger siblings. Even if you think my family is a burden, I can’t abandon them. In the end, it’s you whom I’ve let down."

This was the first time Yao Zhi heard about her husband’s family, and her curiosity was piqued. She wanted to ask more, but noticing that her husband didn’t want to continue, she chose to remain silent.

After a while, she finally said, "Actually, I never blame you. If you marry a dog, follow the dog. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. We are married now, so I will always be with you."

At first, Fu Chen’an felt melancholy, but after hearing her words, he looked at her and asked, "Wife, are you scolding me by calling me a dog and a chicken?"

Yao Zhi was stunned by his strange focus. She burst out laughing and said, "That’s not the point. The point is that I will follow you."

"So you did scold me," Fu Chen’an sighed.

Knowing that he was teasing her, Yao Zhi chuckled and replied, "Even if you are a dog or a chicken, you are the most handsome one."

Hearing his wife praise him, he was finally satisfied. He smiled and said, "My wife has very good taste!"

Yao Zhi rolled her eyes at her shameless husband and remembered her original intention. "Husband, about the gold—besides buying the soft armor, I spent the rest on grains."

"You spent it all on grains?" Fu Chen’an asked.

She nodded and took out piles of gunny sacks. Pointing at them, she said, "These are the grains I bought. Besides millet, there’s a new type of grain from a country across the sea called quinoa."

"I tried mixing the 2 grains, and it’s delicious. What’s more, the merchant said that eating them together can sustain the body much longer than white rice."

"Since I don’t know if I can find such a good thing again, I bought all his stock. There’s a total of 200,000 jin of grain, enough for 2,000 people for a month."
