As more and more villagers talked about Chen Xiao Mi and the ‘ginseng’ he had found, soon Chen Xiao Mi heard about it as well.
“You have been telling people that I have found ginseng?” Chen Xiao Mi asked.
Lu Lin nodded: “Yes, I did. The problem is that we can’t let the Lu’s suspect the money has something to do with me.”
Chen Xiao Mi had left the Chen’s, but the Lu’s still wanted Lu Lin. They had sent Lu Tong to ask him to help with the Autumn Harvest, his grandmother made a fuss and slandered Lu Lin’s name after Chen Xiao Mi sent Lu Tong away.
Chen Xiao Mi felt that it made sense, he nodded and said: “That is very wise.”
Chen Xiao Mi then added: But aren’t you worried that people will call you dead beat?”
Lu Lin smiled: “That’s not my concern at all. We live for ourselves, not the so-called names.”
Chen Xiao Mi did not really follow Lu Lin, Lu Lin did not explain any further.
Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin went to the mountains today.
Lu Lin took out the dagger he used to dig Chinese Yam, but a voice came as soon as he squatted down: “Ha, let me see what’s in your hand.”
Lu Lin’s heart sank, he raised his head and saw Chen Xiao Mi!
‘I just saw him leave, that’s why I took my dagger, but why did he come back?’ Lu Lin thought.
Lu Lin frowned.
“Hurry up, let me see.” Chen Xiao Mi couldn’t wait to see what it was.
Lu Lin shook his head and handed the dagger to Chen Xiao Mi.
Chen Xiao Mi stroked the dagger in awe, he waved it in his hand and said: “Mine now!”
Chen Xiao Mi’s tone was somewhat demanding, but Lu Lin did not find it annoying, he found it adorable. Chen Xiao Mi now looked like a five-year-old who had just gotten his Christmas present. Plus he had more daggers in the store.
Chen Xiao Mi’s eyes were glued to the dagger, he had never seen such a beautiful dagger before, so light yet so sharp.
Chen Xiao Mi suddenly looked Lu Lin up and down: “Who exactly are you? Are you a human or a spirit?”
Chen Xiao Mi had just seen how Lu Lin got this dagger ‘out of nowhere’, so he asked Lu Lin that question.
“I’m your husband, of course I’m human!” Lu Lin laughed.
Chen Xiao Mi narrowed his eyes and said: “You can regenerate food out of nowhere, right? The flour, rice, and eggs in our kitchen are your work, right?”
Chen Xiao Mi hoped this was secretly true, as he and his younger brothers all enjoyed the good food Lu Lin had cooked for them.
Lu Lin shook his head and said: “That’s not entirely true. I have a store full of food in my body, so we’ll run out of food eventually.”
Chen Xiao Mi’s eyes lit up: “Are there a lot of eggs in your shop?”
Lu Lin nodded: “There are about eight hundred eggs left, we’ve already eaten more than a hundred eggs.”
‘What? We’ve eaten over a hundred eggs since we got married, so that’s like five eggs per day! Even rich people are not this luxurious!’ Chen Xiao Mi shouted in his heart.
“You’re not the Lu Lin we know, are you?” Chen Xiao Mi had inquired about Lu Lin’s reputation before they got married, he even visited Lu Lin secretly, the Lu Lin he saw was a quiet, shy and reserved person. But the Lu Lin he married was not like the one he saw before.
Chen Xiao Mi became more and more suspicious as they got along well, glass marbles, kang, and now a shop full of food!
Lu Lin nodded: “You’re right.”
“What shop are you talking about? Are those glass marbles from the store?”
“Yes, the store has a different time and space.”
Hearing that, Chen Xiao Mi sighed, he was glad that the glass marbles were not stolen.
“What about kang?”
“I’ve read about it in the book.” Lu Lin then quickly added: “But in a book from a different time and space.”
“You are a learned man?”
Lu Lin nodded: “I have survived ten years in my studies.”
‘I’m not lying, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college, it’s actually more than ten years.’
“Did you attend the imperial examination?” Chen Xiao Mi was very curious.
“How do I say this, we don’t have imperial exams anymore, but we do have civil service exams, and I didn’t pass that exam. It was hard, and I didn’t have the right network.” Lu Lin explained.
‘He didn’t pass the exam, but at least he was honest about it, and wow, he is an educated man!’ Chen Xiao Mi found it very impressive.
