Recently, Liuliu had been learning how to hunt and make traps from Wei Luan. Wei Luan was usually busy with work in the production team, so he could only go hunting when he had time. Naturally, he did not do it as much.
After Liuliu was given the task of hunting, Lin Yiâs family had slightly more manpower, and the frequency of eating wild animals increased. Lin Yi often saw Liuliu and Wei Luan bringing back all kinds of strange wild animals from the mountains.
In addition, Lin Yi still had a lot of food stamps from her parents. She made arrangements to ensure a healthy intake of food and the family ate nutritious and healthy meals. In just a week, Liuliuâs thin body had become much stronger.
Previously, Lin Yi found a letter from the old Lin Yi and asked Liuliu to mail it for her. Before long, Lin Yiâs parents wrote her a reply, saying that they would send her something in a few days.
Lin Yi planned to buy some daily necessities and food in the city after receiving the stuff.
When Wei Luan entered the house, he saw Lin Yi writing something in her notebook. Beside her was a pile of food stamps, fuel stamps, and other exchange stamps.
âWhat is this for?â Wei Luan asked.
Hearing the voice, Lin Yi turned around and said, âOh, Iâm planning to go to town in a few days. Weâre almost done using the things we borrowed from the neighbors, so I need to buy some daily necessities. Is there anything you want to buy? Iâll buy it for you.â
âI donât need anything.â Wei Luan looked at the stamps on the table and fell silent.
Their wedding was very simple and they did not even invite any relatives. They got married so quickly that his three sisters did not have time to rush over.
He had seen the weddings of other women in the village, and even the worst ones had a complete wedding procedure. However, Lin Yi had married him without any wedding procedures.
After getting married, she never spent his money. Instead, she used her own money to exchange for a lot of food with the villagers.
Wei Luan felt terrible. He felt that he was a selfish and despicable man. He enjoyed the warmth and happiness that Lin Yi brought him, but he could not give her anything.
Lin Yi liked to eat delicious food, but he could not afford it.
Lin Yi liked pretty clothes, but he could not afford them either.
If his father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were far away in the city, knew that he could not give their precious daughter anything and could only let her suffer with him, they would probably want to beat him to death.
Wei Luan walked out of the room in a daze. He did not even hear Lin Yi call out to him.
âWhat color do you like? If you donât tell me, Iâll just buy randomly!â Lin Yi shook her head helplessly as she watched the man leave without looking back. She added a line of words in her notebook: Cloth â 3 sets for Lin Yi and 2 sets for Wei Luan.
When she bought the cloth, she could make new clothes!
Wei Luan left home and unknowingly walked to the pond at the front of the village. He sat on the big rock and was in a daze for a while. In his mind, he remembered what Ergou once said to him, âWei Luan, are you in or out? If you are willing to do it, then so will I. Weâre the poorest guys in the village. If we miss this chance, we will never have a chance to make a comeback. What are you hesitating for?â
âIâm not going. I donât need the money. I just need to feed myself. Donât even think about this. Itâs too dangerous.â
âSigh, you are so unmotivated!â Ergou sounded very disappointed.
A light rain fell from the sky, wetting Wei Luanâs face.
He sat bolt upright on the stone.
In the past, he lived alone, so he did not care if he ate well or dressed well. Money was dispensable to him as long as he did not starve to death.
Things were different now. He was married and there was someone he wanted to protect in his heart. He did not want her to suffer with him.
Wei Luan ran to Ergouâs house and knocked on Ergouâs door.
Ergou yawned and opened the door. When he saw Wei Luan staring at him with red eyes, he was shocked. âWei Luan, what happened to you?â
After returning from Ergouâs house, Wei Luan already had a plan in his heart. His heart was beating fast and his hands were trembling from excitement and nervousness.
âWei Luan, where did you go? Why are you all wet? Iâll boil hot water for you. Hurry up and take a shower.â
Lin Yi was kneading dough and was about to make handmade noodles when she saw Wei Luan return, drenched in water.
âDonât bother. The rain has stopped. Iâll just rinse off in the stream behind the mountain later.â
âHow can you do that? Youâll catch a cold!â Lin Yi shook her head and was about to boil some water when Wei Luan grabbed her hand.
