Chapter 1256: Find a Mother for Yangyang!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing the contented smiles on everyone’s faces, Yun Bixue understood a life lesson from this—knowing how to be contented in life would bring the most happiness to a person.
The smiles on the villagers’ faces influenced her positively as she felt happy as well.
She started to reflect on herself. She should also hold a positive and contented att.i.tude towards her own life. If she smiled a little more, Xie Limo would probably feel happy as well!
For the past month, she could not get her spirits up, no matter how much she tried to make herself happy.
She was grateful for the trip to the countryside this time. It made her see things from a fresh perspective and become more relaxed and happy.
“How much is this?”
“Two dollars per kilogram.”
“Can you give a discount, please? Please give me a discount, I will buy more…”
…
There were all sorts of bargaining going on in the marketplace. Some people greeted each other and some who bought rhyming couplets, lanterns, and firecrackers.
Yun Bixue suddenly realized something and asked Xie Limo, “Is the New Year coming soon?”
“This year’s New Year is earlier. We’re nearing the end of winter’s peak now. It will be in the third week of January. That’s about half a month to go from now.”
Yun Bixue patted her own head and said, “Wow, it’s actually going to be the New Year soon. I only just realized it now.”
“The New Year festivity isn’t as lively as that in the countryside.”
Mother Su explained by the side, “In the countryside, everyone usually scrimps and saves on a daily basis. They all like to buy New Year goodies beforehand when New Year is about to come. That’s why everyone is starting to buy things now. If they wait until the end of the year to buy, the price will have increased by then.”
Yun Bixue discussed with Xie Limo for a while and bought some things for Father and Mother Su. After all, they had stayed over and imposed on them for one night.
In the end, Xie Limo bought a goat for them. Father and Mother Su refused to accept it no matter what. Yun Bixue said a bunch of things, and Su Lenghan put in a word for them before Mother Su finally relented and accepted the gift.
After that, Xie Limo and Yun Bixue could not leave again. Mother Su made sure they stayed to drink some mutton soup.
Drinking mutton soup in winter would really warm one’s body.
By the time it was afternoon, they really had to leave.
Before they left, Yun Bixue stared at the Su family, who were sending them off, before she glanced at Xie Limo.
Xie Limo knew what she wanted to say. He nodded and said, “Just say what’s on your mind!”
Yun Bixue took a few steps forward and walked up to Su Lenghan. She glanced at Yangyang before she said, “Su Lenghan, if you can, find a mother for Yangyang! Find someone you like who will treat Yangyang well.”
Su Lenghan gave a wistful smile as he said to Yun Bixue, “I’ll listen to you if you want me to. However, this depends on fate as well. When Yangyang is grown up, I will find a mother for her.”
Yun Bixue’s heart felt much more at ease after hearing his agreement.
Father and Mother Su stared at Yun Bixue gratefully. The two felt guilty and reproachful about themselves. How could they be blinded to such a good girl like her back then?
When they were leaving, the snow had stopped as well. Yun Bixue sat in the front pa.s.senger seat and remained silent. After a moment, she suddenly said, “Limo, we must live well when we get back.”
Yun Bixue was very serious when she said this, which scared Xie Limo a little. “Xue, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just felt that life is not easy. I must cherish you even more.”
Hearing Yun Bixue’s words, Xie Limo could finally ease the burden he held in his heart. He pursed his lips before saying gently, “Xue, actually, I know about Grandfather’s accident.”
Yun Bixue was shocked for a moment. She widened her eyes and stared at Xie Limo in a daze, wondering if she had heard wrongly.
“Xue, I’m sorry.”
Tears welled up in Yun Bixue’s eyes as she sniffled and said, “Limo, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you all this while. I was afraid that you would be upset and be too burdened by this.”
