Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 536: Chapter 537: Still Rely on Yourself (For the Alliance Leader +1)

He couldn’t help but think, perhaps Chiang Xiao really was too young and hadn’t taken this matter to heart?

If that were the case, it would be good.

After leaving Hu Xibing’s tea shop, Chiang Xiao bought some things and then told her grandparents that she wanted to make a trip to the county town to buy some better pigments. The bookstore in the town no longer satisfied her needs.

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao wanted to accompany her, but Chiang Xiao would not allow it.

Having already had the experience of going to the provincial city, although Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were still worried, they could not argue against her will.

Back in her room, Chiang Xiao sat in front of her desk, suddenly feeling lost and dispirited. After sitting in a daze for a while, something occurred to her. She opened the drawer and threw both letters she had written to Meng Xinian into the Spatial Bamboo Hut.

Out of sight, out of mind, right?

Why even send letters?

She didn’t feel like writing to him or sending him letters at all now!

She also didn’t want to touch his money.

She truly believed that, relying on her own abilities, she couldn’t earn the capital needed to sell handmade tea cakes!

The next day, Chiang Xiao got up early, only telling Chiang Songhai and the others that she needed to go out for a walk and would return in the evening, then she left.

After leaving the town, she immediately picked up her pace and ran toward Bai Gu Mountain.

Since she was going to earn money by selling game, she needed to catch more of it. All the game she caught before had been processed into meat, and there were no live ones. Now, she wanted to keep some alive, so that if she couldn’t sell the fresh meat, she would at least be able to sell the live creatures.

Since she didn’t have to spend the night outside, she didn’t need any excuses. The worst that could happen was returning late.

She now knew that using the spring water from the Space could quickly attract prey, so she didn’t have to worry about wasting too much time.

This time she chose a different path, although it couldn’t really be called a path, but with Chiang Xiao’s current physical condition, climbing uncharted mountains was no problem at all.

She picked a spot, took out a cup of spring water, and then waited to catch game.

Bai Gu Mountain truly didn’t disappoint her!

In less than half a day, Chiang Xiao caught a lot of game again, nearly filling up the clearing outside the Spatial Bamboo Hut.

Moreover, several snakes got mixed in.

Because she threw the game into the Space in one go, she hadn’t had the time to notice the snakes among them. Fortunately, the Space could automatically handle these creatures; the snakes coiled together in a bamboo basket, and she simply chose not to look at them.

If she couldn’t sell them later, she’d find a chance to release them.

At noon, she cooked a pot of meat in the Bamboo Hut and once again ate until her mouth was greasy. She took a short nap on the second floor, then leisurely continued exploring the surroundings.

And indeed, she found quite a few mushrooms, picking enough to fill three bamboo baskets.

Moreover, she dug up all the medicinal herbs she could recognize and planted them casually in the Space.

There was still room in the Space, and she felt no harm in planting more; at most, she’d make room for more precious herbs in the future by moving them.

Just as Chiang Xiao was thinking of heading back, she saw a patch of wild chrysanthemums blooming beautifully. Beyond the chrysanthemums, there were several plants that looked like wild roses.

Thinking of the solitary Golden Camellia and the Orchids in the Space, Chiang Xiao suddenly wanted to find companions for them and dug up a clump of wild chrysanthemums and a few wild rose plants to put in the Space.

Now the Space was truly a scene of bountiful harvests, with so much abundance.
