Chapter 189: Chapter 189 - 189 Playing the Lute to a Cow_1

“It’d be nice if you could wake up, but I know I’m asking for the impossible. Now that we’re in town, your father is working, and I’m going to clean up the yard and plant some vegetables. From now on, I’ll be staying home to take care of you all. I’ve picked a lot of mushrooms in the mountains earlier, and I’ve dried them out over the last couple of days. I’ve brought a lot with me. Maybe I’ll buy some chickens to raise.”

“Ahao, please wake up. Once you wake up, I can finally rest. Since your accident, I haven’t had a peaceful night’s sleep. I’m afraid that if I wake up, you won’t be breathing anymore and you’ll leave us. Every time I wake up, the first thing I do is touch your body, fearing you are cold. Ahao, how can you leave me like this? Why do you have to? I’m almost twenty, but you still haven’t woken up. You must not miss my birthday, Ahao, please wake up.”

Meng Yunhan knew she was speaking into the wind, talking without being heard. But if she kept this all inside, she’d break down. She’d fall into depression.

Dad Zhao finally managed to move their family registration to the town.

And Meng Yunhan cooked every day at home, taking care of Little Huzi and Yun Hao, and buying groceries.

“Hanhan, you should save a bit more.” Even though he wasn’t short of money, having meat every day was a bit extravagant.

“Dad, don’t worry, I know, I won’t overdo it.”

Dad Zhao said nothing more. Then, gathering her courage, Meng Yunhan said, “Dad, I plan to buy some chickens to bring home. They can lay eggs.”

Dad Zhao thought for a moment, “Hanhan, buying chickens is a good idea, but what about grain…”

Meng Yunhan laughed, “Dad, we don’t have to feed them grain. I heard earthworms are a good chicken feed and the eggs laid by chickens fed with earthworms are particularly large.”

Dad Zhao became interested, “Earthworms for the chickens?”

“Yes, I heard it from someone else. I tried it at home, you’ll see, we will loosen the soil by the wall, raise earthworms, raise chickens, and supplement our diet.”

“Then you try it!” Seeing Meng Yunhan so confident, Dad Zhao let her go ahead.

The next day, Meng Yunhan came back carrying three hens and a rooster in her hands, and Dad Zhao returned with a chicken cage.

“Dad, I just bought the chickens and you brought the cage. We must be father and daughter.”

Dad Zhao looked at the chickens and smiled.

“Hanhan, ever since you guys moved in, the house has been transformed. Look at how different it is now, with flowers, grass, and you’ve even planted some vegetables. Soon, we’ll be able to eat vegetables we’ve grown ourselves.”

“It’ll still take another ten days or so, I’ve been watering them every day.”

Meanwhile, at Qingzhao Village.

Upon hearing that Meng Yunhan had moved to town, Yun Men was shocked and decided to visit.

“Mom, I heard that my third sister-in-law moved to town with my third brother and Little Huzi. What’s going on? Two days ago, Little Zhuzi didn’t come home. Today he came home crying, saying his aunt and Little Huzi are gone.”

Yun Men saw how heartbroken her son was and decided to investigate.

“Yes, their registration has been moved to town, so your third brother and Little Huzi are there too.”

Yun Men thought about something else, “Mom, Little Zhuzi said people are saying that Little Huzi is a jinx, destined to bring death to his father. What’s going on? Why are people spreading this? When my third brother came home, wasn’t Little Huzi already a month old? How did Little Huzi become a jinx, predestined to kill his father?”
