Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Considerate
Chi Xiyou scratched his head in confusion and thought, ‘I’m curious how she can put such heavy copper coins in her sleeve pocket. How big would her sleeve pocket be to hold those copper coins?’

Not noticing Chi Xiyou’s curiosity, Duan Yixin pushed the money to Sun Chen and said, “Just follow our previous arrangement. I will deposit this money with Young Master Sun first, and you can use this money to pay for the workers’ wages and food expenses. You can tell if you need more money.”

Seeing that Duan Yixin was very considerate of them, Sun Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He took the money and said, “Then I will do as you say.”

Seeing that they had finished discussing their business, Duan Yixin stood up and said, “Then we won’t stay any longer and disturb your morning. We will take our leave first.”

Sun Chen also stood up and said, “All right. See you later, Xin Niang, Chi Dalang.”

After Sun Chen sent Duan Yixin and Chi Xiyou out, he went to the workshop to look for his father. He had to discuss Chi Xiyou’s big order with his father quickly. If they could take this order, he wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough money to hire a midwife when his wife gives birth later.

After leaving the Sun family’s house, Chi Xiyou sent Duan Yixin home. When they arrived in front of her house, he said, “Xin Xin, I will go to the forest to check animal traps and collect firewood for you.”

Seeing that she wanted to refuse, Chi Xiyou patted her head gently and said, “Just listen to me. Be good and stay at home. I will be very worried if you go to the forest in your current physical condition. Moreover, the problem of bandits has not been solved yet. You shouldn’t go out for the time being.”

Duan Yixin looked at his serious expression and said, “All right. Then be careful when you go to the forest. I heard there is a bear in the forest.”

Chi Xiyou nodded and said, “I know. You should go inside now.”

“Mhm, see you later, Elder Brother Xiyou.” Duan Yixin said as she waved at Chi Xiyou.

After he left, Duan Yixin opened the low gate and walked in. As she closed the door, she smelled the scent of blood getting closer. Duan Yixin turned around and saw Liushiliu landing lightly in front of her.

Seeing Liushiliu carrying a big wild boar on his shoulders, Duan Yixin asked, “Did you go hunting?”

Liushiliu nodded and said, “Yes. I can’t eat Miss Duan’s food without paying. I have no money, so I can only contribute by hunting for food or working for you.”

Duan Yixin smiled when she heard what he said. Although she had money and plenty of supplies in the liquid chip warehouse, she wouldn’t let anyone take advantage of her. Inviting friends to dinner a few times was not a problem for her.

However, if she were told to raise a perfectly healthy man, she wouldn’t do it. Since Liushiliu has the consciousness to work hard for his food, Duan Yixin will not refuse his efforts.

Liushiliu found that Duan Yixin’s smile was more sincere than before.

He looked at her relaxed expression and thought to himself, ‘Miss Duan seems to be in a good mood. Does she like eating meat? Then, I should hunt more meat for her to eat in the future. If Master knows that Miss Duan is happy, he should be happy too, right?’

Just when Liushiliu was thinking about what kind of animals he was going to hunt next time, Duan Yixin asked, “Liushiliu, can you help me clean up the wild boar?”

Liushiliu nodded and said, “Yes, Miss Duan.”

After saying that, Liushiliu walked to the well and placed the wild boar on the ground. He took out a dagger and began skinning the wild boar. Seeing Liushiliu’s skillful movements, Duan Yixin knew that he must have done this kind of work countless times.

Since she could do nothing to help, Duan Yixin said, “Liushiliu, when you are done cleaning the wild boar, just leave the meat in the kitchen. I will cook a meat dish for you today.”

Hearing this, Liushiliu raised his head to look at her. His eyes filled with excitement when he said, “All right. Leave this to me, Miss Duan.”

Liushiliu was left to work with the wild boar while Duan Yixin went to the woodshed to record the growth of Chinese cabbage and strawberries. After recording the plants’ growth status, Duan Yixin took a clean wooden bucket from the shelf filled with farming tools.

Then, she took out the previously prepared nutrient solution from the warehouse. Opening the lid of the wooden barrel, Duan Yixin scooped the nutrient solution into the wooden bucket.

After filling the wooden bucket with nutrient solution, she closed the wooden barrel and returned it to the warehouse. Duan Yixin covered the wooden bucket with a cloth and tied it up. She then carried it with both hands and walked to the front yard.

Seeing that Liushiliu had skinned the wild boar, she said, “Liushiliu, I’m going to check my farmland. If you have something to do, you can leave first and come back at noon for lunch.”

Liushiliu looked curiously at the wooden bucket in her hand. He washed his hands and said, “Miss Duan, I will go with you.”

Duan Yixin glanced at the half-cleaned wild boar, then looked at Liushiliu and said, “You haven’t finished cleaning the wild boar yet. If you leave the meat here unattended, we might not have any meat to eat for lunch when we get back.”

Liushiliu looked at the wild boar in hesitation for a moment and then said, “Then… Miss Duan, you should be careful on your way.”

Seeing that he was worried about her, Duan Yixin nodded and said, “All right. You can leave the meat in the kitchen when you are done.”

“Yes, Miss Duan.” Liushiliu said calmly.
