Chapter 2618: Mission 4

Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Danxia’s voice was sharp, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction with Yan Danqiu’s words.

In Yan Danxia’s view, Yan Danqiu was incredibly feeble. She always knew how to retreat, and it was precisely due to her eldest sister’s personality that their mother lived in such exhaustion. Eventually, in the effort to shield them, she fell ill at home.

Since she went out to gather wild vegetables, Yan Danxia had no intention of relying on her eldest sister. She preferred to depend on herself.

“With so little left in the family, are you determined to waste it? Can’t you save it for Mother to eat in emergencies? Do you think wild vegetables will be readily available at all times? Can you afford to squander them like this?” Yan Danxia loudly questioned. She had endured the mockery of many people to obtain these wild vegetables, and now they were being treated with disregard. This upset Yan Danxia greatly.

Gu Chaoyan sighed.

She looked at Yan Danxia, who was currently in a foul mood.

It had indeed been a long time since Gu Chaoyan experienced such a life. Consequently, when she contemplated things, she naturally thought in accordance with her usual tendencies. In her eyes, good things were certain to come, so there was no need for hesitation.

However, Yan Danxia and the others had a different perspective. They couldn’t envision what the future held, and their lives were already arduous. They were well aware of this reality.

Gu Chaoyan didn’t want to indulge in extravagance until she acquired something substantial that could sustain and uplift their spirits.

She nodded at Yan Danxia. “Sister, you haven’t thought it through. Let’s consume the wild vegetables for now, and we can prepare something nice for Mother to eat later.”

“…”

“Danxia, don’t worry too much. I’ll stand in front of you and protect you from now on.” Gu Chaoyan gently stroked Yan Danxia’s head. Despite any objections, Gu Chaoyan would ensure that everything necessary was conveyed and done for their well-being.

Yan Danxia started to speak, wanting to express something, but ultimately, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Instead, she went in to prepare wild vegetable soup.

Gu Chaoyan refrained from offering help because she was unfamiliar with the process and opted to stay uninvolved. Besides, she couldn’t consume wild vegetable soup.

Utilizing her time, she decided to survey the local geographical environment, hoping to secure a better future.

Yan Danqiu’s residence was situated behind the mountain, and despite not being impoverished, the village was relatively prosperous. Each household possessed ample fertile land, including Yan Danqiu’s family.

Presently, Yan Danqiu’s family had a total of 15 acres of farmland, originally belonging to Yan Danqiu’s father. After his unfortunate demise, this land became a coveted possession for the Yan family.

In reality, if Yan Danqiu could safeguard these fields effectively, it would be sufficient for the current family of four to lead a comfortable life.

However, it wasn’t enough.

Not nearly enough.

In a place like this, where their father was no longer present and there were no males in the family, these fields were challenging to defend. Even if she successfully defended them now, what would happen after her mission concluded? Would they be able to protect them as well? Probably not.

This prompted Gu Chaoyan to contemplate alternative solutions to help them.

The mission itself wasn’t complicated, but it exposed her to the intricacies of human nature.

Lost in thought, Gu Chaoyan was interrupted by Yan Dandong calling her. “Sister, come and eat.”

Without hesitation, Gu Chaoyan joined them at the table.

Although Yan Danxia’s expression still carried a hint of awkwardness, she refrained from saying anything in the end.

As they sat down to eat, Yan Danxia eventually spoke up, “If we continue like this, we might…”
