Chapter 65 - As Expected

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Jiang Yue was about to say that she didn’t want so much meat, the others chimed in, “Jiang Yue, this child of yours really makes my heart ache.”

Jiang Yue held her bowl with both hands and sat on the small stool that was meant for her. There was a higher stool in front of her that was meant for her to hold her bowl. It had only been a few times, but she was already used to it. The small bowl was placed on it naturally like she was really a three-and-a-half-year-old child.

Xue Yan knew that Jiang Yue was overthinking it, so he squatted down beside her and whispered, “Give me a piece.”

Jiang Yue didn’t say no, so she immediately put a piece into Xue Yan’s bowl. The speed was so fast that even Xue Yan was stunned.

“Here, here, here, and this.” She brought back three steamed buns, two for Xue Da, and one for the pregnant Yu Hongyan. Liu Guixia split the remaining one in half.

As expected, she still received the bun… Jiang Yue sighed in her heart and put the half bun into Xue Yan’s bowl as a way of thanking him for helping her eat such a big piece of fatty meat.

Xue Yan’s chopsticks paused for a moment, and he looked at Jiang Yue again, but he didn’t say anything.

Xue Dafu and the others were so engrossed in the meat that their mouths were covered in oil. It was rare that they didn’t pay attention to the kids.

Jiang Yue ate a small mouthful of rice first before eating the piece of fatty meat in her bowl. It was meat, but because there was not enough seasoning, it was not very delicious and was greasy. However, this was already considered a luxury meal in a farming family, so she was not picky and ate it calmly and slowly.

Halfway through the meal, they started to talk about buying land or building a big house.

Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan all agreed with Xue Erfu’s suggestion. They would buy as many good fields as they could with the silver.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xue Yan didn’t care about it, he thought that the house must be built this year, the only difference was the first half of the year and the second half of the year. However, his father hesitated, obviously he was moved by his second brother’s proposal, so he agreed.

He even asked for Jiang Yue’s opinion.

......

Jiang Yue had no objections. In Jiang Yue’s opinion, no matter what it was, her family’s life would improve.

Even if everyone in the family agreed, Xue Dafu still couldn’t make up his mind. He said he still needed more time to think.

After dinner, Li Hehua lit up the oil lamp in Jiang Yue’s room so that they could see her. Li Hehua also helped to bring cold water and hot water to Jiang Yue’s room.

While Li Hehua was helping to carry the hot and cold water, Jiang Yue entered her space to take a look at her seedlings. She found that the corn in the all-purpose nursery had grown into strong seedlings and could be transplanted.

It was nighttime now and things couldn’t be seen from the outside, so naturally, there was no way to transplant them. She could only wait until the next day.

While Jiang Yue and the others were preparing to wash up and go to bed, on the other side, an oil lamp was lit at Xue Dagui’s house. Xue Zhuzi had also returned.

Other than the bow and arrows on his back, he was empty-handed.

Because it was his first time hunting in the mountains, and so were the others, Hunter Wu was not at ease, so he did not spend the night in the mountains.

However, he didn’t expect that he wouldn’t be able to catch any prey even after the sun had set.

Even Hunter Wu himself said that he had been extremely unlucky today.

They came back.

Xue Zhuzi pushed the door open and saw his mother, Zhang Meili, crying and cursing on the ground. His brother, Xue Gouzi, was standing timidly to the side with his head lowered. His father, Xue Dagui, was sitting at the table with his legs crossed like an overlord, eating peanuts.
