Why don't we change the time and place, and continue?
"If you can't make money, you're a fool." Yue Jiuyue decided to go out for a walk later to see if there was a suitable place where she could make another killing.
While Yue Jiuyue was struggling with how to continue this risk-free business, Lin Chaodong and the Liu couple in the state city finally met for the third time.
Since Liu became a wet nurse, in order to find out whether Yue Jiuyue had been granted the title of a ninth-rank Confucian scholar, she went out once and asked Lin Chaodong to come home.
When Lin Chaodong returned to the city, he wanted to send some things from home to Liu, but they parted on bad terms because of the sweet potato incident.
This is the third time the couple has met, and it was Liu who took the initiative to come out again. Lin Chaodong always felt that Liu would only come to see him if she had something to do for him.
really……
"Dad, I probably won't be able to come back for Chinese New Year this year. When you come back next year, could you bring me a truckload of sweet potatoes from home? If it's hard to carry them, a truckload of sweet potato seedlings will do too. If you feel uncomfortable about it, I can pay for them, just consider it as me buying them!"
Liu got straight to the point, not wanting to waste time.
Lin Chaodong's face darkened upon hearing this.
This woman finally came out to see him, but she didn't say a word of concern for him, or even mention the two children. She just talked about sweet potatoes and sweet potato seedlings. Does she even remember that she has a family?
Seeing Lin Chaodong's face growing increasingly grim, Madam Liu frowned, pondering what she had said wrong or omitted, and then added:
"I'll pay for your trip home. I'll also pay for your trip back."
The second sentence was naturally something she came up with on a whim and then added.
She thought to herself, "Now Lin Chaodong should agree, since he only needs to provide one person."
Unexpectedly, Lin Chaodong's first words were sarcastic.
"Liu Dahua, do you still remember me? I'm your husband, and I have your mother-in-law and two children at home?"
Lady Liu frowned again and said:
"Lin Chaodong, stop talking so sarcastically. A grown man, speaking to your wife with such barbs, don't you feel ashamed?"
Alright, how could I not remember that I'm married and have children? I remember all of this even if you don't mention it. Just let me know when you're leaving, and I'll have someone deliver the New Year's gifts to you. They're all rewards from our masters, and they're all good things!
Since I don't know how tall or heavy the two children are now, I haven't made clothes for them yet. If there's not enough time, you can take the children to town and ask the embroiderers at the cloth shops there to help make two new sets of clothes.
There's jewelry too. I'll tell you later which ones are for Mom, which ones are for Xiaoman'er, and which ones are for Dazhuang.
"You'd better find out in the next few days if any of the convoys have returned to our area. Once you've found out, come find me, okay? I'm talking to you! What are you daydreaming about!"
As Liu was speaking, she realized that Lin Chaodong wasn't listening at all, and she flew into a rage, slapping Lin Chaodong on the back several times.
Lin Chaodong looked up at Liu Shi and felt that the woman in front of him was very unfamiliar, as if he did not know her at all.
However, he also knew clearly that the person in front of him was the woman he had married through proper channels and was the mother of his two children.
"Honey, aren't you coming home for Chinese New Year this year? Why? It's been half a year since you last saw the kids. Don't you miss them?"
Lin Chaodong couldn't help but ask.
"I was talking to you about the New Year's gifts I brought home! What are you babbling about?!"
Forget it, I won't argue with you. It's not easy for me to come out here. If Miss wakes up and can't find me, she'll cry again. Anyway, you have to remember what I told you. If it doesn't work, I'll pack the things separately and mark them.
Alright, that's what I came out for. Once you find a convoy heading back to Caolu County or to the vicinity of Huandong Town, come find me as soon as possible.
After saying this, Madam Liu waved her hand and said:
"They're gone."
The person turned around and left without looking back.
Lin Chaodong was left at home, staring at the spot where the figure had long since disappeared, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
He suddenly regretted coming to the prefecture.
If she hadn't come to the city and experienced its prosperity, Liu wouldn't have thought of staying. She wouldn't have become a wet nurse for someone else's child just to stay in the city, neglecting her own child.
The child was forced to be weaned before he was even six months old. You know, children in the village are breastfed for at least a year. Xiaoman'er was breastfed for more than a year and still grew thin and small. Dazhuang was already in poor health, but he was breastfed for less than half a year...
However, he only intended to bring his wife and child to see a doctor. Little did he know that neither of them would be cured. One was infertile, and the other was born with congenital deficiencies. Everyone said there was no cure and they could only take good care of themselves.
He's sick, sick, and hasn't gotten better; he's even lost his wife. Who can he turn to for help?
Lin Chaodong couldn't help but tear up.
He suddenly didn't want to stay in the city anymore. Anyway, Liu's mind was entirely on her young lady, and she didn't even remember that there was a man in the city, let alone his family in Linjiagou Village, hundreds or thousands of miles away.
Go back, go back to live with your daughter and son!
Just thinking about it made Lin Chaodong feel a sharp pain in his heart.
He wanted to be with Lady Liu, fearing that she would be alone in the city, with no one to confide in or rely on if she suffered any grievances.
As a result, he abandoned his responsibilities as a parent along with her, and in the end, he still had to leave alone in disgrace.
But if he goes back alone, how can he explain to the children why their mother isn't coming home?
If he really doesn't come to the city, not to mention what will happen if Liu is really wronged, what will his two children, his mother, and his two younger brothers think of him? What will they think of him and Liu?
Lin Chaodong scratched his head in frustration, unsure of what to do.
He was still somewhat reluctant to part with Liu, but Liu's performance disappointed him greatly!
He wanted to go home and continue farming, but the children, especially Xiaoman'er, must be longing to come to the city to reunite with Liu.
If he doesn't come back, everyone will think he made a mistake, right?
What should he do?
Lin Chaodong looked up at the sky, hoping that God would give him an answer.
Suddenly, I felt a cool sensation on my face, and it hurt a little.
He looked down, searching for the thing that had fallen onto his face and then bounced off to the ground.
It was a cube of ice, a cube of ice slightly larger than a corn kernel.
Is this a hailstorm?
Seeing the increasing amount of ice on the ground, Lin Chaodong breathed a sigh of relief; now he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
