Xia Daohua's face was full of questions: "Why did you tell me what Sister Taohua told you?"

Erlang looked at Xia Daohua's two confused big eyes blinking, and couldn't help but smile, revealing two rows of white glutinous rice teeth, and seemed to be in a very happy mood:

"Taohua told me that you seem to have a natural talent as a hunter, and your luck is unbelievably good!

If he encountered a pack of wolves, he could drag back several wolves without any damage to himself; if he encountered a tiger, he could catch it without losing even a hair on his body..."

Erlang couldn't help laughing, and he spoke slowly for almost half a minute. Xia Daohua listened to it with gritted teeth and couldn't help but complain:

"Brother Erlang, you have changed!"

Xia Erlang smiled bitterly and said, "Why? Do you think I'm no longer the honest, simple, hardworking Erlang brother I used to be?"

Xia Daohua nodded repeatedly: "Not only have you learned how to hide your private money, but you've also learned how to cheat, deceive and scare people!"

Xia Erlang sighed heavily, lowered his head and said in a deep voice:

"Hey, you saw it just now, didn't you? With a father like that, if I don't improve myself, I'm afraid there won't be even a bone left!"

Then he seemed to be happy again, looking at Xia Daohua with a smile:

"Besides, how can this be considered as cheating?

Isn't it just that I'm a little jealous of you guys making money and want to join you?

Let's not go through all that trouble. Just tell me straight out and tell me whether you'll accept me or not, okay?"

Xia Daohua beamed: "Collect! We must! With Erlang-ge joining us, many things will be much easier for us to do!"

Xia Erlang is already an adult, and it is much more convenient for him to go into the mountains to hunt or go to town to sell goods than for them.

Xia Erlang asked again, "What about peach blossoms? Can they also be involved?"

Xia Daohua hesitated for a moment, then nodded happily:

"It's not impossible...but we can't take in too many people at once. Otherwise, it would be bad if it delayed the important matters at home."

"Don't worry. Taohua and I, apart from other things, when it comes to work, who have we ever lost to? Besides, we are both tight-lipped and don't like to chat with others."

Xia Daohua took out the small purse Xia Erlang had given her earlier and said, "Brother Erlang, let me return this to you!"

Xia Erlang smiled and said, "I'll keep it with you! Just let me keep the purse, and the silver inside will be yours."

"Ah? Erlang brother, do you really want to marry into my family?"

"No, I don't want to marry into the family. But I do want to marry Zhou Yunniang. Since Zhou Yunniang is reluctant to part with her child and mother-in-law, I'll just raise them both!"

"Wow……"

Xia Daohua's eyes became bright when she looked at Xia Erlang. She never expected that Erlang, who looked honest on weekdays, could be so courageous!

"Brother Erlang, I will definitely help you!"

"Hey, you're helping me a lot by letting me join you!

When I have enough money, I will build the house first. Then I will ask Wang Lizheng for help and go to the government office to complete the procedures for settling as a separate household. After that, I will go to Xiaowa Village to propose marriage and bring Zhou Yunniang and her family back home to marry me!

"Brother Erlang, your uncle and aunt won't agree, right? Especially your aunt, who has always wanted to marry you a wife who is better than your eldest sister-in-law. If you marry a young widow directly, aren't you afraid that your aunt will be mad to death?"

"Hey, little girl, you know a lot, don't you? You even know what your second aunt is thinking? You even know what a young widow is?"

"Brother Erlang, stop rambling. Be careful or Second Auntie will grab your sleeve tightly and make you sit on the ground and cry!"

“Hahahahahaha…”

Xia Erlang laughed heartily. Even before he left home, Erlang rarely laughed so happily. Most of the time, he just worked silently, like an invisible man, or a robot working automatically.

Xia Daohua looked at Xia Erlang's happy smiling face and suddenly thought, just be perfunctory. Since Brother Erlang didn't want to say, she might as well not ask.

She turned around and skipped away like an ordinary little girl:

"Brother Erlang, I'm going home. If I don't go back soon, my mother will come and pull my ears!"

Xia Daohua left and Xia Erlang lay down. He had just been talking for a long time and was actually very tired.

But he felt it was worth it.

With so many people from the Xia family watching him leave for hard labor and possibly even going to the battlefield, it was this little girl who was the first to think of the difficulties he might encounter outside...

How disappointed he is with his family, how much he cares about Xia Daohua.

As long as he can make this girl happy, let alone just supporting his body, coaxing her and chatting with her, even if he needs to risk his life one day, he will not hesitate at all.

Xia Daohua returned to the fourth room, and was first hugged by Jiang, with tears and snot all over her face. She rubbed her for a long time before she was finally free.

Then Rika, Goro, and Linghua followed suit and continued to rub.

Finally, even Liu Lang and Zao Hua from the fifth room came to join in the fun.

Xia Daohua, somewhat awkwardly, pulled her wrinkled collar out of the hands of a group of children, then distributed a bag of candy balls to them.

"I bought it from a peddler in Xiaowa Village. My grandma said she'd give me money for snacks, so I didn't hesitate, hehe!"

"Haha, Sister Daohua, you are so nice!"

"Yeah, Sister Daohua is the best!"

"Mmm, sugar, delicious..."

Xia Daohua wrapped the candy ball in paper and gave it to Wulang: "Brother, take this and share it with these greedy little cats."

Wulang smiled and responded. The little ones cheered and surrounded Wulang. Only then did Xia Daohua feel truly liberated.

"You kid! You always think about others first, why don't you think about yourself?"

As usual, Jiang was about to scold Xia Daohua, but Xia Daohua listened quietly and let her speak her mind.

Jiang couldn't help but worry about herself because she had been away from home for so many days.

It was old lady Zhou who decided to let her go out with Sun. According to Jiang's personality, after she got over the initial excitement, she would definitely not complain to Zhou or Xia Youtian.

After so many days, Jiang must have been holding back a lot of emotions, and she needs to be allowed to vent them.

However, before Jiang had finished speaking, there was a loud knock on the door. It turned out to be Cheng who came over with a large bowl:

"Fourth sister-in-law, let me see Daohuaer. Oh, this child, this little face is so thin! It's obvious that he didn't eat or sleep well outside. This time you have to make sure to nourish the child well!"

As Cheng spoke, she put down the large bowl in her hand:

"These are the dumplings I made. They're stuffed with leeks and pork. They're fresh out of the pan. Give them to Daohua to try. If you like them, tell Aunt Wu and she'll make you more!"

"Aunt Wu, you are so kind to me!"

Jiang was also very embarrassed: "Oh, sister-in-law, I've made you spend money again."
