Upon hearing Meng Yunhan’s words, Yun’s Mother came over and also noticed the new bud. She had not paid attention to it before, and only now, listening to her daughter-in-law, did she realize it was the case.
“It’s just the beginning of spring, the new buds should only appear half a month later. Very peculiar indeed,” Yun’s Mother said, finding it very strange.
Meng Yunhan, achieving this result, beamed, “Maybe it’s due to the New Year’s weather.”
“Perhaps,” Yun’s Mother agreed.
Meng Yunhan looked at the jujube tree, her smile radiant. If the tree could speak, it would surely say something like: “Please don’t smile so radiantly, it’s unnerving.”
“Mother, I already told the village chief yesterday. We’re going to the county tomorrow,” Meng Yunhan said, knowing that having an ox-cart made travelling to the town much faster.
Yun’s Mother knew what her purpose was, “Okay.”
When Yun’s Father returned, the three of them gathered around for a meal. Yun’s Mother brought up the topic again.
“Your elder brother will accompany you to town tomorrow,” Yun’s Father, generally satisfied with Meng Yunhan, was still concerned about her traveling far from home. Since they were going to the county to buy seeds anyway, it made no difference to have the eldest son go along. He had already informed the village chief of this plan.
“That sounds good.” Meng Yunhan, without much thought and unaware of Yun’s Father’s plans, simply thought it was a coincidence that her elder brother also had to go to the county.
After cleaning the tableware and tidying up the kitchen, boiling hot water for washing, Meng Yunhan finally headed back to her room to drink some Well Spring Water.
Not long after working in the space, she started having diarrhea.
She was satisfied with everything else, except the toilet. But despite her dissatisfaction, she had to bear with it.
After leaving the restroom, Meng Yunhan couldn’t help but smell her own body. She heated water in the kitchen again and took a bath.
Luckily, she moved quietly and didn’t wake up Yun’s Father and Mother.
“Third sister-in-law, when we get to the county, you go choose notebooks at the waste collection station. We will go buy seeds.” Before they even reached the county, Yun Hai told Meng Yunhan their divided approach would save time, as a round trip would take up a whole day.
Of course, they could take the passenger bus, but it only ran twice a day.
“Alright.” Meng Yunhan was invigorated, looking forward to the trip to the county. In her previous life, she had only been to the county twice – when she arrived and when she left. But, this life would be different.
“Miss Meng, if you have too many things, just wait for us at the entrance of the waste collection station.” The village chief also came along this time.
In fact, the village chief was satisfied with Meng Yunhan. Now that she was married to Yun Hao, he was even more courteous. He was well aware of Yun Hao’s tactics.
All he could do was restrain his good-for-nothing son from causing further trouble.
“Okay.” Meng Yunhan didn’t object. Her purpose for coming to the county was to look for good things, so she had to economize on other living necessities.
Upon arrival, Meng Yunhan immediately alighted from the cart a few steps away from the waste collection station.
Meanwhile, the ox-cart continued on its way.
The county’s waste collection station was definitely much larger than the town’s.
An old lady was in charge of it.
“Old lady, I’m a teacher from the village. I came here to choose some notebooks for the children as school is starting soon.” Subtly, Meng Yunhan gave the old lady two coins.
The old lady’s face broke into a broad smile,”Go on, go on.”
She hadn’t expected someone to give her money today.
Wasn’t this equivalent to her wages for two days?
Why wouldn’t she be overjoyed?
