Chapter 8 - You Can Find a Cute Guy Even in the Mountains (1/2)

Baozhu and Baofeng agreed also. Bao Zhu said in a wronged tone, “I didn’t want to live with them a long time ago. We have to chop down firewood in the mountain everyday. n.o.body praises us for doing much work, though we get scolded every time we chop a little less firewood. We never see Baocheng and Baoshui getting scolded. Why don’t they need to work but we do?”

Baofeng was still little so he would do everything his ma told him to.

Li Hongmei felt both touched and self-reproached after she heard what her children said. “Alas, it’s all ma’s fault. I’m so useless that you have to put up with all these sufferings. It’s not that I don’t want to live apart but I’m worried about you all being starved.”

Baozhu comforted Li Hongmei, saying, “Ma, don’t be like this. You’ve been suffering a lot too!”

Baofeng also said, “Yes, ma is the best. Last year you took us to steal pork. You then got beaten around by the elder and third aunts but you didn’t turn us in.”

Li Hongmei. “…”

The whole family comforted each other for quite a while and Li Hongmei seemed to find hope. She suddenly turned to Baoshan and Ye Xiaoxian. “I’ve heard from the older generation before that within a family, nothing is more valuable than a married couple who has a united mind. You two are in a united mind so I reckon our lives in future won’t get worse.”

Ye Xiaoxian. “…”

Xiao Baoshan. “…”

…

Nightfall.

Ye Xiaoxian went to her room to rest after simply was.h.i.+ng up. Sitting on this ancient wooden bed, she began to feel relaxed.

When she was a chef back at the hotel with very fierce compet.i.tion, in order to guarantee her position, she had to study recipes day and night and take part in various contests so she never slept well.

Now that she was finally far away from that kind of life, coming to an ancient village, although it was a poor life, she didn’t have to risk her life in order to make a living. The priority right now was to improve the whole household’s life, and as for the living methods…she felt that she had to go around and have a look nearby.

As she was thinking, she heard someone knocking on the door.

She came to open the broken wooden door and found a large and tall figure standing outside. The night’s moon was full and its s.h.i.+ne was cast on his body, glittering brightly against his chiseled features, making Ye Xiaoxian’s heart throb.

In these times and in this kind of remote village, how rare to find a man with such looks.

“Come in.” As usual, she had a faint smile upon her lips.
