Chapter 42

In the end, they several families returned with injuries. As the initiator, the 30 mu of land still belonged to Xu Ran. At most, it was trampled on by a few more feet.

But after this incident, the Xu Family probably hated him even more.

However, to Xu Ran, it was nothing serious. When they went separated, both parties had agreed that there would be no connection between the two families in the future, whether they were alive or dead. At that time, the village head was also present. It was only a pity that Xu Ran was only short of a documentary proof. Still, he was not afraid of it.

If his daddy hadn’t treated him like that, and if his dad hadn’t beat him and Liu Tong for only a rabbit, he would have intended to take good care of them on behalf of the fool, but since they had done such cruel things, Xu Ran felt he didn’t need to be so good to them.

Moreover, Elder Daddy Xu was so stupid that his reputation in the village would be even worse from now on. Although Xu Ran might also be affected, it was not a big deal for him.

Because of this incident, Wu Mei also came to have a look. Seeing that Xu Ran didn’t have any problem, he went back again. He was quite busy these days. If it hadn’t been for Liu Tong’s sake, he wouldn’t even have bothered to come over, let alone watch a group of insignificant ruffians fighting.

The Xu Family suffered a loss because of this, so after going back, they were quiet for several days. With no one to disturb them, Xu Ran took its advantage and together with Liu Tong, they made more chili paste.

The chili paste they had delivered to Mr. Chen last time had been sold out. It was Oct. the 10th today, and they were going to pack all the chili paste left from the last time to send to the town.

Still they were not sure if they were able to hold on this way until they produced more chili paste.

Today, all of them were going to the town. The new clothes that Liu Tong had sewn for the two kids were ready, while Xu Ran’s was still under way. Xu Ran didn’t care about clothing actually. He had been a fool for so many years. Did he care what others would comment about his dress?

Last time, when he went to the town with Xu An, he only did some shopping, but he didn’t take a good look around the market. This time, he wanted to see if there were any corn seeds as well as fruit seedlings to buy. He intended to make an all-out effort in farming during the coming days.

There were many things to buy in the town this time, so Liu Tong went to borrow the ox cart from Xu An’s family.

On the way, Xu Ran said to Liu Tong, “Tongtong, it’s not a good idea that we have to borrow other people’s carriage all the time. Why don’t we buy a donkey ourselves instead? How much is it for one?”

Liu Tong replied hesitantly, “Ran, it’s enough for us to buy a donkey, but to do this is easy to attract others’ attention. We’ve just bought a land. It’s not good to buy a donkey so soon.”

Xu Ran thought it was right. There was no need for them to show off this time.

“Then let’s wait until next year.”

“All right. Well, let’s buy some paper and writing brushes for Tangtang, Guoguo and you, even though they are a little expensive. Besideds, we’ll have to buy quilts. It’s getting cold. ”

“Alright, I’ll listen to my Tongtong. Whatever you want to buy, just buy them. The money is all on you,” said Xu Ran in a teasing tone.

Liu Tong patted him lightly, “Ran, be serious.”

Xu Ran chuckled, “You are my spouse. Am I right? Or you just ask about Tangtang and Guoguo?”

Both kids looked at them in blank. This was their first time riding a carriage and going to the town. They were so focused and excited that they didn’t hear what their dad and daddy were talking about. They had just turned around when they heard their names called.

“Do you two think so?” Xu Ran asked them.

Both kids actually knew nothing about their talk, but they nodded in unison. In their minds, whatever their dad said was correct.

And this caused a burst of laughter. Liu Tong, who was driving the ox cart stopped annoying himself and began to laugh, too. He thought to himself, ‘Just let it be, as long as Ran likes it.’
