Chapter 74: View on Love

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Pulling Jiang Gu over, Jiang Xia said seriously, “If Mother talks to you about love, just ignore her. Just listen and forget about it. Don’t take it to heart.”

Jiang Gu nodded at Jiang Xia.

Zhou Lan pretended to hit Jiang Xia, but Jiang Xia easily dodged her.

“Jiang Xia! Do you really think your mother will lead your sister down the wrong road?”Zhou Lan shouted at Jiang Xia’s back in exasperation.

When she ran to Jiang Chuan’s side, Jiang Xia turned around and made a funny face at her mother.

Jiang Chuan led Jiang Xia away from the crowd and said, “Your Uncle Li agreed to let us sell things in the town, but the premise is that the prey and high-quality wild vegetables we hunt must be chosen by him first. We can deal with the rest ourselves.”

Jiang Xia frowned slightly and asked, “He only mentioned prey and wild vegetables. What about the rest?”

…..

Jiang Chuan knew what his daughter was planning and shook his head.

“Your Uncle Li wants to take a look at the other stuff first.”

It was not possible to sign a legally binding contract now but there were often loopholes in verbal agreements that could be exploited. But at the same time, they had no choice but to go with the current arrangement now.

Jiang Xia sighed. Although the plan she had envisioned would not work, it was still beneficial for them to be able to do business privately in town.

Jiang Chuan patted Jiang Xia’s head and continued, “We have to take things slowly. We still have time. As long as we think of a way before the new year, the village will definitely survive.”

Hearing her father’s words, Jiang Xia nodded her head.

“Father, I’ll take Xiao Gu around the town to see if there’s anything.”

“Alright, go ahead! I’ll also chat with your Uncle Wu and the others.”

Jiang Chuan had always trusted Jiang Xia. In the modern era, because their family was well-off, they would often take Jiang Xia out to play during the holidays. When Jiang Xia grew up, she would make plans to go out with her classmates and she never once caused any trouble.

As soon as Jiang Xia returned to the crowd, she saw her mother talking to Xiao Gu. Xiao Gu’s eyes were shining with admiration.

Jiang Xia only heard what her mother was saying when she approached her quietly.

“Xiao Gu! In the future, you will learn from Mother. You have to find a husband who treats you well, knows how to wash clothes, is good at cooking, and dotes on you like a child.” Zhou Lan said seriously.

“Mother! I will!” Xiao Gu answered confidently.

Jiang Xia’s face darkened when she heard their conversation. She covered her mother’s mouth from behind.

“Wuwuwu.” Zhou Lan struggled and almost threw Jiang Xia over her shoulder.

“Mother, I already told you not to say so much to Xiao Gu. What if Xiao Gu really can’t find a husband after you set such high expectations?” Jiang Xia looked helpless.

Zhou Lan pulled down the hand covering her mouth. “My daughter will marry the best. If Jiang Gu can’t find someone, she won’t marry. Your father and I will raise her for the rest of her life!”

Jiang Xia let out a long sigh, rubbed her eyebrows, and pulled Jiang Gu away.

“Xiao Xia, why are you taking Xiao Gu away from me?” Zhou Lan shouted from behind.

“We are going for a walk. We’ll be back in a while.” Jiang Xia answered without turning his head.

Jiang Gu followed Jiang Xia and looked around with her big eyes.

“Jiang Xia, are we going to that big house?”

Jiang Gu was also very smart. She was able to guess where they were going just from the direction they were walking in.

Jiang Xia patted Jiang Gu’s head. “Yes, we’re going there.”

“What? Do you also want to see Young Master Shen? No way! Mother said that it will be very difficult for people with different family backgrounds to fall in love!”

Jiang Gu stopped in her tracks and pulled Jiang Xia along.

Jiang Xia turned around and met the little girl’s conflicted gaze.

“Sister, let’s go back! Mother said that a rich young master would not fall in love with a commoner girl.”

Jiang Xia took a deep breath and held back her strong desire to complain. She patiently said to Jiang Gu, “Xiao Gu, I’m telling you, although our mother is right about some things, don’t think of everything as a romantic relationship. That Young Master Shen doesn’t like your sister and your sister has never thought of climbing up the social ladder. I just need to discuss some business.” “Oh!” Jiang Gu nodded her head in a half-understanding manner.. “Jiang Xia, what did Mother say that is wrong?”
