TATLC Chapter 45

At Chen Xiao Mi’s house.

Chen Xiao Mi was wiping his bow and arrows in the courtyard when Lu Lin entered from outside.

“Are you going to go hunting soon?”

Chen Xiao Mi nodded: “Yes, I have to go back there before I get rusty.”

Chen Xiao Mi did not rely on hunting to make money, but he enjoyed honing his hunting skills, and he enjoyed being able to constantly bring food to the table.

Lu Lin had harvested the vegetables in the yard a few days ago, they had eaten nothing but vegetables for three days straight.

Chen Xiao Mi had never been a picky eater, but Lu Lin used to cook meat for them all the time, in fact, he did not enjoy vegetarian dishes as much as usual. And Chen Xiao Mi began to understand why Lu Lin only favored lean meat over fatty meat, because somehow he found himself becoming more and more like Lu Lin.

Chen Xiao Mi was very curious about Lu Lin’s hometown, he had asked Lu Lin so many questions about modern society and stores. Chen Xiao Mi was surprised that people living in modern society had a different lifestyle than them, he was fascinated by modern society.

“Can I go with you?” Lu Lin asked.

Chen Xiao Mi thought for a moment and nodded: “You have to be careful, watch out for snakes, it’s spring now.”

Lu Lin smiled and said: “I will, thank you for the reminder.”

‘Mi has been much nicer to me lately, he used to be very cold whenever I said I wanted to go out with him.’

The young couple went to the mountain together, and the matter was much talked about by the villagers. They all thought the couple must have made a lot of money selling alcohol, so they were surprised to see them go hunting again. Now they thought the couple didn’t make much money because they were still risking their lives.

To return to the couple.

Chen Xiao Mi heard a rustling sound in the bushes, he asked Lu Lin to be quiet, he closed his eyes and listened attentively, and the next second he threw his dagger into the bush, his dagger hit a rabbit!

Lu Lin watched it with his mouth wide open: ‘Look at my wife! He still got it after a long winter of rolling on the kang!’

Chen Xiao Mi grabbed the rabbit and showed it off like a boy who had just won a medal.

“I really like this dagger you gave me, thank you.”

Lu Lin smiled: “I’m glad you like it.”

Chen Xiao Mi held up the rabbit and said: “This is a fat rabbit, can I expect a stir-fry dish tonight?”

Lu Lin nodded: “Of course.”

Lu Lin grinned as he recalled Chen Xiao Mi not caring about things like ‘what’s for dinner’ when he first married into his family, but now Chen Xiao Mi always liked to discuss what they should eat for dinner. And he was surprised to find that Chen Xiao Mi liked spicy food.

Chen Xiao Mi was devastated when Lu Lin told him that he had eaten all the ‘Latiao’ in the store, but luckily Lu Lin had some chili powder in the store.

Chen Xiao Mi was a great hunter, he could always return home with something, rabbits and pheasants were the most common items he brought home.

Chen Xiao Mi and Lu Lin got quite a lot of wild rabbits this time, they walked home happily.

“Wow, Chen Xiao Mi, look at those rabbits! Good job!”

Some villagers greeted him, they were all very jealous.

Chen Xiao Mi was not good at talking to people, he just nodded and excused himself awkwardly.

“I wish I was a hunter, look at those rabbits.”

“Yes, so it has been long time since I ate meat.”

“But why is he hunting again, didn’t he just make a lot of money?”

“Yes, he must be doing well, he has renovated his house and he has bought a donkey cart, but maybe not as well as we thought, he hasn’t bought farmland yet.”

Buying farmland is the ultimate symbol of becoming rich.

“But the problem is that no one is selling farmland.”

“I agree, maybe he can afford it, but no one is selling.”

Chen Xiao Mi was confused as to why the villagers started talking to him.

Lu Lin laughed: “Isn’t that good?”

“But they’re not afraid of me anymore.”

“You want to scare people?”

Chen Xiao Mi blinked: “Not really, but I can always solve complicated problems easier if they are all afraid of me.”

“Scaring people is not the only solution to many problems.”

Chen Xiao Mi pouted, but deep down he knew what Lu Lin said was true.
