"If you also want to be with Dabai, then why don't you just marry Dabai?"
Xiaobai was conflicted. "No, Dabai can't. Dabai isn't a woman. That brother said we can only marry women. Xiaoshan, you are a woman. I'll marry you first, and then Dabai and Hui will follow us. The three of us will never be separated again."
Xu Shan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can you please stop listening to their nonsense in the future? We can still be together even if I don't marry you. Don't worry, I won't abandon you until you recover your memory." She rubbed his head and comforted him.
Xiaobai shook his head shyly, "Xiaoshan doesn't want me to marry you. Does that mean you already have someone you like? Do you want another man to marry you in the future? If another man marries you, he will definitely dislike me."
"You say you're a fool, why do you think so much all day? I don't think you're stupid at all. How about this, when the warehouse is built, I'll take you to the city and pick out some wives for you."
"I don't want it. I just want you. I'm already trying to save money."
Xu Shan was stunned by his words "I want you to say it". Something in her heart was touched. She felt indescribable. With red eyes, she muttered "Fool".
"Xiaoshan, what did you say?"
"I said you're stupid."
"Humph, I'm not stupid."
When the two were bickering, Xu Shan didn't get angry. She smiled and rubbed his hair.
Xu Shan couldn't help it and called her hometown.
The person who answered the phone was Xu Min, the daughter of their village chief. Xu Shan usually got along well with her.
Xu Shan knew that there was a phone at the village chief's house, so she calculated the time and deliberately called her good friend when he was at home.
"Xu Shan, it really is you."
"It's me, why is it so strange?"
"That's right. You didn't know that you suddenly disappeared two years ago without a trace. Everyone in the village thought you had an accident. It was so scary. I was worried about you for a long time. You...where are you now?"
"I opened a breeding farm in a big city in the south."
"Ah, you run a breeding farm?"
"Well, I heard that Li Changshan wanted to adopt me as his goddaughter and wanted me to marry an older man. I definitely didn't want to do that, so I took the eggs he gave me and ran away overnight. When I got out, I didn't know where to go. I just dealt with the eggs and found a place where Li Changshan couldn't find me."
"So where are you going now? How are you doing? Are you sure you can come back?"
"I plan to wait another two years. The fruit trees I planted still need someone to take care of them. I called you to find out how Li Changshan's family is doing and how the farm on the mountain is doing.
Xiao Min, after thinking about it, I think you are the best match for me in the village, so I can only call you to ask about it."
"That family, huh, they annoy me just by looking at me. That Li Hanliang and that bitch Liang got married last year.
Now the couple rides their bicycles around all day, doing nothing."
"Idle away? Didn't Li Hanliang say he wanted to get a stall at the county wholesale market?"
"What the hell, I just don't want to go to the farmers' market because it's too long and the conditions are too harsh.
It is estimated that all the wedding gifts from relatives and friends have been spent by the couple.
Also, last year, there was a plague at the Shantou Farm, killing half of the chickens and ducks. They lost a lot of money. Later, they got a new batch of chicks, and then this year, for some unknown reason, the chickens and ducks disappeared one after another. Later, we found out they had a weasel infestation.
"Huh, how could there be weasels in the mountains?" His parents had raised chickens and ducks for so many years, they knew exactly whether there were weasels in the mountains or not.
"Someone must have done it on purpose. Li Changshan doesn't know how to raise animals, he only knows how to do business. Moreover, he is a profiteer in business and has offended many people. The weasels were deliberately released by the villagers. He hasn't made much money in the past two years, and he may have even lost a lot."
"Oh, you deserve it. Evildoers will be punished."
"Shanshan, are you okay over there alone?"
"It's pretty good. In the past two years, I've contracted a small deserted island and raised four to five thousand chickens and two to three thousand ducks. I've also been planting fruit trees lately."
"Wow, Shanshan, you're amazing. Li Hanliang is so blind to fall for that bitch Liang Chunyang. But Shanshan, you were right to leave Li Hanliang. He can't give you happiness."
"Xiao Min, thank you. I'm doing well now. I make a net profit of 10,000 yuan a month. I don't lack anything for now. Once I save some money and take care of my farm, I'll bring home a man who's a hundred times more handsome than Li Hanliang. I'll trample them under my feet."
"Well done, Shanshan! I support you. Keep going! You must give that scumbag Li Hanliang a blow and show him what it means to lose the watermelon and gain the sesame seeds."
"That's a must, Xiao Min, how are you now?"
"I'm doing pretty well. I work as a clerk in a company and earn 200 yuan a month. Xiaoshan, I really admire you. How do you earn so much a month? Otherwise, I could just rent a hill in the village and raise chickens and ducks."
"Don't try to follow my lead. I'm forced to do this by the realities of life. I'm out there on the island, exposed to the elements all day. I earn a lot of money, and my investments are substantial. My annual rent is equivalent to what our village earns in ten years. Besides, raising chickens and ducks depends on luck, whether they get sick, and whether they can be cured. It's all backbreaking work, not as respectable as you sitting in an office."
You don’t know, when I came to this city before, I also applied for a job in a company, but failed every time.
I was quite disappointed, but then I steeled myself and decided to try my hand at my parents' business. Initially, I had no money, no connections, and it took a lot of effort. "Xu Shan, recounting her experiences over the past two years, suddenly smiled, realizing she hadn't had it easy.
She said this to Xu Min because she wanted her to spread the word in the village and let Li Changshan know that although Xu Shan had lost her parents, she was not someone to be bullied.
"By the way, I heard from the villagers that Li Changshan has a woman outside, and I heard she's pregnant."
"Ah, what about Aunt Yang?"
"Tsk, Aunt Yang is as quiet as a log. Even if she knew, she wouldn't dare say anything. But Li Hanliang and Liang Chunyang knew. I heard that the couple has been investigating that woman outside recently. Now we're going to see some fun. Li Hanliang and that bitch Liang will definitely not let that woman have a child to compete with them for their inheritance."
"How much wealth does Li Changshan have? He's so arrogant, but he's already started a new family outside?"
"My dad told me that during those years when he went abroad, he made a lot of money. No one knows how much, but it must have been a lot. My dad said that after Li Changshan came back from abroad, he switched to a better brand of cigarettes that cost one dollar a pack. At one dollar a pack, even the rich people in the county wouldn't smoke every day."
