What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 303 Because I Like You
Jing Yuanzhi stood up straight, blinked his eyes to adjust to the light, and then said, "Brother Li Ran, I'm fine. I was just very tired all of a sudden."

"That's fine. Give me the backpack and I'll carry it. You sit down and rest for a while." Li Ran said as he took out the water he brought for Jing Yuanzhi to drink.

Jing Yuanzhi had finished his own water, so he took it without being polite.

After taking a sip, I found that the water inside was honey water, which was sweet. "Brother Li Ran, you like sweets."

Li Ran felt a little embarrassed, blushed, and nodded.

Jing Yuanzhi sat there drinking honey water in small sips. Li Ran watched her sipping from the cup, and when he thought about how he had drunk in the same way not long ago, his face suddenly became even redder.

"Yinyin, don't come to such a dangerous place alone next time. If you want to find any herbs, come to me and I will go with you." Li Ran said seriously.

"I understand, Brother Li Ran. I won't do it again next time." Jing Yuanzhi nodded obediently. She knew that the situation today was indeed very dangerous.

After resting for a while, the two went home.

"Brother Li Ran, why are you here? Are you here to hunt? Why didn't Wumao come with you today?" Jing Yuanzhi felt relaxed now.

She was carrying a backpack that was so tiring that it seemed as if she didn't exist on Li Ran. Oh, I really envy her strength.

"I went to look for you at noon today, but you were not at home. Thinking of the last time we were digging herbs here, I wanted to come and take a look. Fortunately, I came, otherwise..." Li Ran didn't dare to think about it. It would be dark in about an hour. If Yinyin fainted here alone, although there were no large wild beasts on this mountain, there must be some on the nearby mountains. It would be hard to say whether Yinyin would still be there by then.

Thinking of this, Li Ran's heart tensed up again, and he looked at Jing Yuanzhi with a serious expression again: "Yinyin, next time you come to such a far place, you must bring one more person with you. You must not come alone, understand."

Jing Yuanzhi could tell that Li Ran was frightened today, and nodded seriously: "I understand, Brother Li Ran."

"By the way, Brother Li Ran, why did you come to see me at noon?"

When Li Ran mentioned this, his heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Yinyin, last time, we, we have done that kind of thing, I must be responsible for you, Yinyin," Li Ran said here and it seemed that he was unable to say the rest of the words, and his whole face turned red.

Jing Yuanzhi stood in front of him, not urging him, just quietly waiting for him to say the rest of his words.

"Yinyin, can I, can I marry you?" After saying this, Li Ran lowered his head slightly, not daring to look into Jing Yuanzhi's eyes.

Jing Yuanzhi looked at the person in front of her, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, but she still controlled herself and said, "Brother Li Ran, are you going to marry me because of what happened that night?"

"I, I..." Li Ran was interrupted by Jing Yuanzhi before he could finish his words.

"If that's the case, Brother Li Ran only married me out of responsibility, so Brother Li Ran actually doesn't like me, right?" Jing Yuanzhi looked at Li Ran with her beautiful eyes.

Li Ran raised his head and explained anxiously that he didn't want her to misunderstand.

"Yinyin, it's not like that. No, I, I like you!" Li Ran said out his true thoughts in a hurry.

"Then why did Li Ran say no when I asked him if he had any thoughts on starting a family?" Jing Yuanzhi pretended to be very confused and looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran felt embarrassed when talking about this, and his eyes avoided a little, but he was afraid that Jing Yuanzhi would misunderstand him, so he decided to say these words: "Yin Yin, I, my family is not good. I am alone and I don’t have any brothers or sisters. Also, I am so much older than you. Moreover, I, I don’t have any skills to show off. I, I am not qualified to marry you." Jing Yuanzhi understood that Li Ran was being inferior.

"Brother Li Ran, I was just a worthless girl in the Huang Houtu family. In that family, I watched the nominal grandma and grandpa bully my parents since I was a child until we separated from that place. Maybe it's because of the environment I grew up in, I have a resistance and discomfort towards mother-in-law. Moreover, I know that your house is one of the best in your village, so it's nothing that your parents passed away and you are alone now."

"I don't care about these. What I care about is," Jing Yuanzhi stopped talking here.

Li Ran looked at her nervously. What was he caring about?
"Is it because Brother Li Ran truly loves me and wants to marry me or because of what happened that night that he wants to marry me?" Jing Yuanzhi said this and looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran's heartbeat was so fast that he was worried that the person in front of him would hear it, but he still gave a very affirmative answer: "Because I like you."

Jing Yuanzhi smiled brightly: "Then Brother Li Ran, you must be prepared. I will be fifteen this year."

When Li Ran heard Jing Yuanzhi mention her age, her heart was burning with anger and she could hardly control the expression on her face.

Looking at the person who had just said that and walked to the front, Li Ran, who was carrying a backpack, raised the corners of his mouth and quickened his pace.

When he returned home that night, Li Ran wanted to plan to marry Jing Yuan, so he sent her home and left. Jiang's mother and the others tried to stop him but he refused.

Jing Yuanzhi didn't shout, she knew he must be feeling uneasy.

Jinnian was helping Jiang's mother cook in the kitchen: "Yinyin, you dug up so many herbs today?"

When Jiang's mother saw the herbs in the basket, she was surprised. Today she found out that her daughter went to dig herbs by herself. How could she dig so many by herself?

"Well, I accidentally dug too much. Luckily I met Brother Li Ran, otherwise I would have been exhausted." Jing Yuanzhi spread the herbs in the basket into a thin layer under the eaves while talking to Jiang's mother.

"Then remember this next time when you are alone. Dig in moderation and don't dig too much," said Jiang's mother.

"Okay, mom. I'll remember that." Jing Yuanzhi responded obediently.

As summer arrived, the family's two calves had grown up and were ready to mate with the bull.

When the calves are pregnant and give birth to calves, they will be able to produce milk. Although the process is a bit slow, Jing Yuanzhi is still very happy to have milk.

Many ewes are pregnant, and most people in the village know what Huang Dad and his friends are selling in the town.

Many thoughtful people would come to my house to buy goat milk, planning to go home and try to make that kind of thing themselves.

But they knew that every time Huang Dagou and Jiang Xiangchun went to the market, the things they sold were sold out in a short time. The buyers were always maids and housekeepers from wealthy families, and those people were very generous with their money.

Huang Dagou and his wife can always sell so much every time, so their family must have made a lot of money.

Some villagers made up their minds to buy some from Huang Die and his friends. As soon as the food entered their mouths, they were conquered by its novel, silky and rich milky taste.

No wonder so many maids from wealthy families come to buy it, this thing is really delicious.

Those who had ideas in their minds completely gave up the ideas after tasting this thing.
