Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s like this. It’s inevitable that we’ll split up. I think we should set that as our goal now and work hard to earn money.”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Xia Chen sighed helplessly. “Wanwan, I want to make money too. I’ve been looking for work these days, but everyone’s fighting to do jobs that make a lot. I don’t stand a chance at all. Some jobs don’t make much money after a busy day, and no one is doing it.
“If we move out, we won’t have a place to live. Besides, when you and Xia Feng start school, there are the school fees, your living expenses, and new clothes to think about. All these require money. We only have dad’s 300 yuan salary this month. It’s not enough at all.
“Even if I find a job now, I’ll have to wait until next month to get my salary.”
“I know,” Xia Wan continued, “don’t you still have the 5000 yuan from the ginseng sale?”
“We know you have 5000 yuan,” Xia Chen said. “But you can’t show it to the public, especially not before the separation.
“When we move out, you can make whatever arrangement you want with that money you have. But since we haven’t, grandma definitely won’t agree. She might even be waiting to laugh at us. If we pull out 5000 yuan out of thin air, she’ll definitely suspect we did something.”
Hearing Xia Chen’s words, Xia Wan’s eyes lit up with a smile, and she praised, “My brother is so thoughtful.”
At the same time, Xia Wan felt a warmth in her heart. Xia Chen was thinking of using the money he and Xia hai earned to complete the money needed for the separation of the family. This was so that the fact that she was earning wouldn’t be exposed.
She was lucky to have such a brother who would protect her.
Yingluo was no longer a child, however, and she had her own ways.
“Don’t worry, brother,” Xia Wan consoled. “Since I said so, I’ll definitely make arrangements. Didn’t I say it before? I’ve learned medicine from Grandpa, and our village is short of doctors. When the time comes, I’ll use my medical skills and sell some herbs to earn. Grandma won’t be able to say anything.
“As long as I keep going into the mountains and keep busy, even if Grandma sees that I’ve earned money, she’ll be too embarrassed to ask me for it. After all, it’s all my hard-earned money!”
Xia Feng stared at the confident Xia Wan.
He felt that his sister seemed to have really changed.
If it was his sister in the past, she definitely wouldn’t have been so firm and resolute, especially when she knew that they would face insurmountable difficulties in separating from the family.
In the past, his sister cared a lot about the opinions of others, and moving out would obviously cause their family to be criticized.
Now though, his sister wasn’t afraid anymore. She even took the initiative to find a way to hide it from Li Jin.
Xia Feng couldn’t help but admire his intelligent and bold sister.
His sister was indeed the strongest woman out there.
“But,” Xia Chen suddenly chimed in. “Wanwan, dad won’t agree.
With one sentence, the previous atmosphere was immediately shattered.
Xia Feng’s mood also sank.
Xia Wan recalled some of her memories from her previous life.
Soon, her dad would be disappointed in her grandma.
She smiled and comforted the brothers. “Don’t worry, I believe that dad will change. We’ll just do what we have to do.”
Seeing Xia Wan’s smile, the brothers felt much better, and they stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, today was a happy day. She made money, ate beef noodles, and even bought meat for her parents.
They were already looking forward to going home to see how happy their parents were.
The three trundled along in a good mood, and the journey home felt much lighter than when they left.
When they returned to the village, Xia Wan saw a familiar figure buying things at the small store.
She sneered. He had returned so quickly.
