Chapter 36 -36 Deciding to Go to Haicheng
“After coming back, what Shitou mentioned… what he said, I actually felt tempted, you don’t know how much better it is than farming—during the slow season, we used to gather stuff from the mountains to sell and made a little capital. Making small trades, the money comes in quicker and it’s more comfortable,”
Lu Aiguo shared Shitou’s words in detail with Xia Yuan and added his own thoughts.
“Now that we have the wild ginseng as capital, we can totally go to Haicheng and open a small shop, specializing in buying all kinds of grains and game. I believe our future won’t be worse than anyone else’s.”
“But that ginseng belongs to Shitou. What if we lose everything?”
When it came to living in Haicheng, a look of anticipation clearly appeared on Xia Yuan’s face. She was more than willing to leave this village, which did not hold beautiful memories for her, and return to her hometown. Previously, she couldn’t bear to leave Lu Yun behind, and later, Lu Aiguo was added to that list.
“That wild ginseng, Shitou doesn’t want to keep it all to himself. We’ve been brothers for so many years. With his temperament, any word he says is as solid as nails. But after all, it was him who found the ginseng. I merely lent a hand, and I don’t want to take advantage of him,” Lu Aiguo could easily read Xia Yuan’s mind and felt even more determined to move to Haicheng.
“Let’s consider the money as a loan from him; we’ll repay him double in the future. Things have changed from before, the country’s policies have changed, and they no longer stop us common folks from running a small business. We won’t lose. At worst, we’ll just have to pick ourselves up if we fall. Be at ease, I’ll definitely make you and Xiaoyun live a truly good life.”
Lu Aiguo embraced Xia Yuan, “My grandpa spent his youth out in the world and he told me a saying, ‘Without business, there’s no wealth.’ I’ve always remembered it. Besides, leaving here means you won’t have to worry about the Su Family having a chance to come into contact with Xiaoyun again.”
Shitou was right, only by going out can one live a good life. The shadow the Su Family cast over his wife was too heavy; he couldn’t erase it in the short term. Perhaps only by leaving this place could his wife genuinely start to be happy. Over time, and by living a more prosperous life, she could truly start to see those hurts in a lighter sense and let go. So, even if it was just for his wife, he had to venture out and fight for it.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Whether I marry a chicken or a dog, I’ll follow them; no matter where you are in this life, I’ll be there with you.” Xia Yuan made up her mind in an instant. Yes, only by leaving this place, would the Su Family no longer have the chance to get close to Xiaoyun. She buried her head in Lu Aiguo’s shoulder, tears falling like beads.
“Alright, from now on we’ll never part again.”
Lu Aiguo held her tightly, patting her back, “We’ll be together our whole lives. And in the next life, and the life after, we must always be together.”
“…Aren’t you being a bit too greedy?” Xia Yuan was teased into laughter through her tears with a light smack, her pouting charm in tearful smiles was so tempting that Lu Aiguo could not help but become wildly aroused.
“How can that be called greedy? It’s more like I can’t get enough of you. Wife, I want meat.”
“Hey hey, you’re never serious.” Xia Yuan laughed, trying to dodge, but ended up being tackled instead.
“How can holding my wife and wanting meat be called unserious?” huffed Lu Aiguo righteously.
“Heh, that’s so ticklish, you’re so annoying, oh no, don’t tear it, and the light’s still on,” Xia Yuan’s voice was both embarrassed and annoyed, fading to a whisper.
“Don’t worry about it, leaving it on a bit longer won’t cost much,” Lu Aiguo said, itching like a cat scratch.
“…My dough, I finished kneading it and it’s still there, don’t ruin it.” Xia Yuan finally remembered what she had forgotten. Kicking Lu Aiguo off, she sat up and jumped out of bed, planning to head out, “No, I have to go and ask Xiaoyun to put it in her big storage room.”
“The dough is already in Xiaoyun’s big storage room,” sighed Lu Aiguo as he helplessly rushed to scoop her back into his arms, pulling the light off in the process, “After dinner, Shitou had Xiaoyun put it away.”
“Really?” It was Xia Yuan’s doubtful voice.
“Truly. More real than pure gold,” Lu Aiguo replied, almost painfully restrained, his voice almost a growl, as he eagerly pressed on. To prevent his wife from suddenly recalling something else, he decisively sealed the source of her voice with his mouth.
…
Meanwhile, in another room, Lu Yun tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Unable to hold back, she called out to Shitou, “Shitou, do you think my parents are already discussing this matter? Do you think they’ll agree?”
“Haven’t you already made up your mind?” Shitou chuckled in the darkness, thinking she no longer sounded like a six-year-old child, but now she was anxious like one again.
“That’s true.”
Lu Yun wrinkled her nose, “But I’m still worried.”
“Go to sleep, we’ll find out tomorrow.” Shitou turned over and closed his eyes.
“I can’t sleep, will you talk to me?” Lu Yun asked in a muffled voice. After a long wait without a response, she couldn’t help but pout, “Are you really asleep?”
In the darkness, Shitou reluctantly opened his eyes, enduring not responding to her. Only after hearing Lu Yun’s breathing gradually become steady did he close his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
The next day, when Lu Yun awoke, the bed where Shitou had slept was empty. The thin blanket was neatly folded on the bed, and the mosquito net was hooked up on both sides.
Lu Yun glanced at the bright sunshine outside and stuck out her tongue. In her past life, she had been used to laziness, sleeping late and rising late had become a habit.
She took out a clock to check the time—it was seven twenty.
After tidying up the bed and putting on the clothes her mother had left by the bed, she quickly ran a comb through her short hair and bolted toward the kitchen.
“Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, then come over and have a bowl of boiled water first.”
Xia Yuan saw that Lu Yun remembered the discussion from yesterday about waiting for Lu Aiguo to return in the morning to eat together, so she didn’t rush to call her for breakfast.
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat an egg first?”
“No need, Mother, I haven’t brushed my teeth or washed my face yet,” Lu Yun shook her head, then looked expectantly at Xia Yuan.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go,” Xia Yuan didn’t understand why she was hesitating and urged her.
“Mother, did Father talk to you?” Lu Yun decided to ask proactively.

“Talk about what?” Xia Yuan stirred the porridge in the pot and saw it was about done, so she added the chopped snake meat and some salt.
“About going to Haicheng,” Lu Yun became anxious, “Mother, I want to go to Haicheng.”
“Oh, that matter, yes, he mentioned it.” Xia Yuan looked at her quizzically, “How do you know about it? Do you know where Haicheng is?”
“Shitou told me last night. Isn’t Haicheng your hometown, Mother? I want to go, what exactly did you and Father decide?” Without hesitation, Lu Yun “sold out” Shitou; she was really anxious to know the answer, suddenly feeling her mother was being too slow.
Can’t we just happily and quickly announce the result?
