Chapter 16 You Have One

Ye Wan: ...

Not wanting to talk, he turned around and went outside to look at the chickens.

I must say, Lin Anyuan's skills are really good. He even brought a feeding trough outside the cage. After drinking the spiritual spring water, the chicks are quite energetic right now.

Ye Wan went into the kitchen and threw in the wild vegetable stems she had picked out. Some of these wild vegetables also came from the space, and the chicks loved to eat them.

Then I went to the next room.

Da Ya had already measured Ye Wan's figure, and in no time she had cut the fabric and was making the clothes.

Seeing Ye Wan come in, she didn't stop sewing.

"Don't stay up late doing this, it'll hurt your eyes," Ye Wan said, noticing the poor lighting in the room.

"It's alright, I'll go to sleep when it gets dark and I can't see anymore. Do you have any other requirements for this dress?" Daya spoke gently, and seemed to be a very quiet girl.

Any other requirements?

"It's fine as long as it's wearable, but I want to add something to my undergarments." She felt uncomfortable because she wasn't wearing any underwear.

Ye Wan described it to Daya in a low voice: the fabric is too soft, it should be fine for making a tube top.

“This…” Daya glanced at Ye Wan’s front, her face slightly reddening.

Ye Wan said in a low voice, "Don't be shy. You'll grow up eventually. You're a girl, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Logically speaking, she should be malnourished and unremarkable, but she has a pretty good figure, which can only be attributed to good genes.

Daya pursed her lips, "Okay, I'll try to do it. Do you want me to embroider it?"

"No need, it's too hard on the eyes. And it would be a waste to embroider this kind of fabric. Where do you work during the day?"

Ye Wan hasn't asked yet; apart from San Ya, everyone in the family seems to be quite busy.

"It's an embroidery shop right on the edge of town," Daya said, her hands never stopping their needlework.

"Walk there?"

Da Ya nodded.

Ye Wan felt a headache coming on when she thought about how it would take two hours to walk to town. "No wonder you're so thin. You should eat more in the future."

Da Ya blushed and lowered her head.

Just as she was about to leave, Er Ya came in, wearing the flower she had bought for San Ya that day. When she saw Ye Wan, she felt a little guilty, but immediately straightened her neck again.

What are you doing in our house?

Ye Wan was speechless when she saw her like this. "You really have the nerve to steal your sister's things."

Er Ya shrieked, "What do you mean by 'robbery'? I gave San Ya something in exchange. Why are you talking so rudely?"

"I'll return this to you." Ye Wan stepped out the door and saw Sanya still catching ants and feeding the chicks in the yard, so she called out to her.

"Sanya, quickly wash your hands and go back inside."

Sanya obediently went to wash her hands and went inside.

The child without a mother was indeed sensible. Ye Wan also entered the house, and was stunned as soon as she stepped inside.

When Lin Anyuan saw her come in, he continued to wash his upper body at a leisurely pace.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ye Wan said, but her eyes were fixed on him.

Lin Anyuan frowned. "Have you seen enough? Get out."

Ye Wan deliberately said, "It's not good-looking. You're so thin, I'm afraid I'll get a sty from looking at you."

Lin Anyuan raised an eyebrow. "Wipe the drool off your mouth before you say that. Are you going to wash or not? There's water here."

Ye Wan's lips twitched slightly. "I'm not washing."

She must be crazy to undress and wash in front of a man, using water that a man has already used.

Lin Anyuan looked over upon hearing this, "Are you sure about this hot weather? You must smell rotten."

His handsome features are eye-catching, but his inability to speak makes one want to poison him into silence.

Ye Wan gritted her teeth, "Lin Anyuan, can you please stop being so venomous? I washed myself clean while you were away, and you're the one who's gone bad!"

She had already cleaned herself in the space, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stand it.

Neuropathy.

Having already seen it all, it would be too pretentious to go out now. Ye Wan sat on the stool and asked, "Lin Anyuan, what do you think about me starting a small business?"

My family is so poor, we lack food and clothing. Today I went to town and only bought a bag of flour. We can't even afford rice.

Rice isn't grown here; it's transported from the south and costs twice as much as flour. It's a pity she hasn't had a single bite of white rice yet.

"What do you want to do?" Lin Anyuan had already put on the same patched undergarment.

Ye Wan suddenly found the patched clothes rather irritating. "Why don't we just sell food? Other things probably won't sell well."

Food is the most important thing for people. When they can't even get enough to eat, they won't think about anything else. When people are hungry, they only have one thought: to eat their fill.

"You have money? What are you selling?" Lin Anyuan tied his slender fingers around his belt.

Ye Wan stared at his hand and touched the broken teapot on the table. "I still have some silver left from what I found. I think you're pretty good at carpentry. Could you make me a cart later? I haven't decided what to sell yet."

Seeing Lin Anyuan looking over, Ye Wan paused for a moment, "Don't look at me like that. I don't want to eat brown rice anymore. I want to live a good life. I want to eat white rice every day."

Lin Anyuan stared at her for a while, and just when Ye Wan thought he wouldn't agree, he slowly spoke.

What kind of stroller do you need?

"You're willing to do it?" Ye Wan was a little surprised; she thought she wouldn't agree.

Lin Anyuan turned around and lazily lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "I'm just waiting for you to earn money to support me."

How dare you say such a thing?

Ye Wan gave a forced smile, "Fine, it's because you're good-looking. I'm the one who has to earn money to support you, so can you let me sleep in your bed?"

She doesn't like lying down with people.

"Yes." Lin Anyuan turned over and looked at Ye Wan from the side.

How beautiful can a person be? Even if they are wearing a plain white undergarment with many patches, they are as radiant as a gentle breeze and a bright moon, as if the entire dilapidated house is coated with a layer of light.

"Then get up." Ye Wan glanced at him, then couldn't help but look again.

Sure enough, she was just superficial and judged by appearances. If a buck-toothed old widower had bought her, she would have run away overnight.

Lin Anyuan didn't move. "What I promised you was the bed; this is the kang (heated brick bed) I'm sleeping on."

Ye Wan: ...

There's no bed in this room. She just slipped up because she's used to sleeping in a bed. Ye Wan was so angry she laughed.

It turns out that people do laugh when they're speechless.

Ye Wan squatted on the ground and drew an abstract version of a cart. "The cart is roughly like this, with two layers and a wheel."

She wants to make money so she can live in a big house; this is too stifling.

Lin Anyuan glanced at it and said, "That's a good idea. Are you feeling better now? It's time to breastfeed Sanya."

Ye Wan's face darkened; was this a situation she couldn't let go of?

"I haven't had a baby yet, so I don't have enough milk." These words were practically squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Who has breast milk? Don't you have any common sense?

"You need to give birth to produce milk?" Lin Anyuan sat up and stared at Ye Wan.

Ye Wan rolled her eyes. "What else? You're a father of three, don't you know such basic common sense?"

Lin Anyuan frowned, "Then if you have one child, can you feed Sanya?"

Ye Wan stepped back and hurriedly said, "What are you thinking? Sanya is so big now. She looks pale and thin because she hasn't been eating well. You saw me cooking. I guarantee I'll fatten her up in a month. Besides, don't forget our agreement. Lin Anyuan, you can't go back on your word."

She doesn't want to have children, forget about it.

"I've broken my promises plenty of times, but as for your looks... well, don't get your hopes up too high."

Lin Anyuan stroked his chin and looked at Lin Yewan several times with a look that was somewhat disdainful.

Ye Wan: ...

That sarcastic guy should die.
