After arriving home, Xiang Nanzhi naturally lay down on the bed.
Shen Shixun fetched water to wash her face, but when he touched the towel to her face, Xiang Nanzhi turned her face away, saying, "No, I need to take a shower."
Which pajamas would you like to wear?
"casual."
Shen Shixun took a set of floral pajamas, which he had bought. Xiang Nanzhi didn't say anything and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Shen Shixun waited outside for her. After a while, he saw Xiang Nanzhi's phone screen light up.
A while later, Xiang Nanzhi came out of the shower and had just gotten into bed when he received a call from Xiang Ciyuan.
"Li Qingyuan is at the xx Hotel."
Xiang Nanzhi sat up in bed, "Second Brother..."
"Don't go tonight. He didn't attend the wedding today. He'll be meeting with the Zhai family again. Have someone keep an eye on him and find an opportunity to go over."
Are you injured?
"He won't die."
Xiang Nanzhi opened her phone and saw another message from Li Luchuan: "My dad didn't attend the wedding tonight."
Li Luchuan sat on the balcony smoking. He hadn't received a reply from Xiang Nanzhi, so he sent another message: "If you need my help, just let me know."
Xiang Nanzhi still hasn't replied.
She silenced her phone, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.
She hadn't planned to ask anyone for help with this matter; Li Luchuan simply wanted her to take the initiative to speak up and reconcile.
But she hasn't even looked for her older brother, so why would she look for him?
Xiang Nanzhi has been tired lately, so she goes to bed early, leaving Shen Shixun with no chance to do anything...
On the other side, Rooney's side.
The matter that Shen Shixun asked him to handle was quite complicated, and he was unable to go home for a while, leaving Jira to take care of the household chores alone.
Rooney was exhausted from dealing with the Gong people doing business outside and some Han Chinese.
After a while, Rooney roughly figured out what Shen Shixun wanted to do. He bought cattle and sheep to do business. He had leased a grassland near the outer grassland. He had someone take care of all the formalities in advance. Then he asked Shen Shixun to help him acquire a large number of cattle and sheep and build a fence around the grassland.
Money makes things easier. In just a few days, a circular wall was built, with the white wall encircling the vast grassland. Riding horses and shooting arrows inside was no problem.
The cattle and sheep are kept there, they can't run away, and they can graze and mate freely.
Pregnant cows and ewes are separated from non-pregnant ones, and a special room is used for pregnant ewes and lambs.
In this way, the scale of breeding grew larger and larger, and the machines that he had never seen before, which were transported over and placed in the tin shed, finally came in handy.
There have been people in Saigon who sell dried beef and mutton for a long time, but those were individuals or small workshops. This time, he's going to make a big profit.
Rooney understood the situation. Since they were family, they should be of one mind. He didn't want to go back to the grasslands, but he wanted to use the grasslands' advantages to do business. Rooney should support him.
But he missed Gila so much, he was going crazy with longing.
Rooney returned late at night without warning. Gila was asleep when she saw a man's figure in the tent. She was about to call out when Rooney covered her mouth, saying, "It's me, don't shout, it's me..."
As he spoke, he began to take off his pants and released Gila.
"No wonder, you scared me to death."
Gila thought another man had broken into her bed and was immediately terrified. Rooney laughed as he got into bed, and Gila gave a soft groan.
"Missing me?"
He kissed Gila in a hoarse voice, and Gila touched the sweat on his body. "Did you rush back overnight?"
"Of course, I've missed you so much."
"Gently, gently..."
After finishing his business, Rooney lit a pipe, and Gila snuggled up to him. "You mean, the reason your brother called you over these past few days was to arrange business deals?"
"Well, Sehun did find a Han Chinese to cooperate with. I mean, with so many cattle and sheep, where did the money come from?"
He had never heard of anything like leasing land or running a farm.
"Does our tribe allow these things? Should we..."
"You can't say that. We are from the same tribe, and we solve problems together when they arise. But things are not like they were a few years ago. Most of the time, we still keep to ourselves and live our own lives."
Rooney's rough, large hand touched Gila's lower abdomen. "Gila, my Gila, you've suffered these past few days."
"Old Hei has helped me a lot. Although Brother Tie is here, Old Hei is still very capable."
"Is he more capable than me?"
"You're capable."
Gila lay in his arms. "Rooney, my brother has suffered a lot and seen a lot of the world. He knows more than we do. He's my only brother."
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help him. His snow lotus can't settle on the grassland right now, but... but one day he'll be willing. What's so good about the city? What's there besides a house?"
Gila shook her head. "I don't know either."
"Is it as pretty as here? Are the girls in the city as beautiful as our Jira?"
When Gila woke up again, Rooney was already gone, and her clothes were scattered all over the floor. She picked them up one by one and put them on.
If it weren't for the mess this place was in, she would have thought Rooney's return was just a dream.
Early in the morning, Chen's mother sat on the tent entrance, stroking the pregnant female mastiff. The female mastiff was a wife specially found for Lao Hei, named Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang is pregnant, and her belly looks very big. Lao Hei takes good care of her. Jila occasionally chats with Lao Hei and tells him, "Your wife is pregnant, so you should do more work. Your father is old and can't take care of much. If you don't take care of your wife, she will run away with other mastiffs."
"Other capable mastiffs are much more capable than you."
Upon hearing this, Lao Hei turned around and went to herd the cattle and sheep to graze, standing majestically on the hilltop.
Women love strong men, and animals are the same. Domesticated female yaks love strong male yaks, and female mastiffs love capable male mastiffs.
This applies to humans as well as animals.
"Mother..."
She called out, but her mother didn't respond. Gila had taken her to see the tribe's doctor, and if things continued like this, her mother's condition would only get worse. "Mother, Rooney said he'd take you to Latu to see a doctor at a big hospital."
"Mother..."
Mother Shen remained silent, neither saying that she would go nor that she would not.
After a while, Jira got up to get something to eat, when Chen's mother suddenly tugged at her skirt, "Where's the Buddha statue?"
"What?"
“That was left to me by my mother, you can’t take it away.”
Jira sighed, "Mother, isn't the Buddha statue at home? It's in your room."
"Where?"
Gila had no choice but to lead her inside, where she rummaged through a wooden box and pulled out a dark Buddha statue. "Mother, isn't this right here?"
"That's not it."
There's only this one Buddha statue in the house; if it's not this one, then what is it?
