Chapter 122: Achievable Goals

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since there were only the two of them on the ox cart, it wasn’t crowded, so Xue Yan didn’t carry the basket in his arms. Instead, he placed it between him and Jiang Yue. It wouldn’t be too late to carry the basket when someone else got on the ox cart.

Jiang Yue sat on the ox cart and looked around. Suddenly, she said, “I want to buy a few acres of land to farm. A desolate land will do.”

Otherwise, she would be too free and have nothing to do.

“Okay.” Xue Yan had no opinion. “I’ll tell my family later.”

At home, his words were more effective than hers.

She knew that.

“Alright,” Jiang Yue nodded. As long as she achieved her goal, she didn’t really care if it was him or her who asked.

When it was time to leave, the three people who came with him in the morning came to take the ox cart again. Tian stopped talking to his acquaintances and came to the ox cart.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, how much did you sell the moonbelly for?” the four asked casually.

They were just asking casually. Before they came, they had already determined that it was worth at most forty to fifty coins.

“Not much,” Xue Yan answered casually.

The four of them were even more certain that they got less, so they didn’t ask anymore.

Xue Yan hugged the basket again.

There was something at the bottom of the basket, so he didn’t need anyone to help steady them.

The ox-cart returned at a steady pace.

As they were about to reach the village entrance, Jiang Yue was the first one to notice Li Hehua standing at the village entrance, stretching her neck to look at the road back from the town. She was obviously checking if she and Xue Yan had returned.

When she saw her and Xue Yan, Li Hehua was happy and waved at them, “Jiang Yue, Xue Yan!”

“Hehua sure is kind and caring,” someone on the ox cart laughed.

“You’re finally back.” Li Hehua said with a smile. She nimbly took the basket from Xue Yan’s arms and carried it on her back. Then she helped Xue Yan and Jiang Yue off the cart. “I didn’t have much to do today, so Yifu asked me to wait for the both of you to come back. I didn’t wait for long, and you guys came back. Tian, thank you,” she said to Tian.

“No need to thank me. It’s not it was a free trip.” Tian laughed.

On the way back, Xue Yan had already paid the two coins, so he didn’t need to pay Tian anymore.

One of Jiang Yue’s hands was held by Li Hehua, while the other was placed on Xue Yan’s shoulder, “Xue Yan, let’s go home.”

“Okay.” Xue Yan agreed.

Jiang Yue obediently followed him back.

Li Hehua didn’t rush to ask how much the moonbelly mushroom was sold for, since she also thought it wouldn’t sell for much. Instead, she talked about something else, “Xua Yan killed a chicken and sent it over, saying that it’s for you to eat. He’s probably afraid that we wouldn’t want it alive, so he killed it before sending it over. Now the chicken is in the pot stewing, we’ll have chicken to eat tonight.”

Jiang Yue knew that her uncle’s family must be grateful for her help in opening the oil mill, so they sent over a gift.

Xue Yan also knew that he had benefited from this.

“Xue Yan and I went to Sifu’s place today,” Jiang Yue said. “Sifu gave us a pot of leftover food in the basket. He said that it was leftovers from the restaurant this afternoon and asked us to share some with Grandfather.”

“Okay, okay, okay. You can send it over when we get back. We’re going to celebrate the New Year again tonight.” Li Hehua was very happy. She also knew that no matter how bad the food in the restaurant was, it was still much better than the food that the farmers usually ate.

The main thing was that it was full of oil.

If there wasn’t oil, who would be willing to go to that restaurant for a meal?

It was the tastiest meal for a family of farmers.
