“You’re very busy?” Mu Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Yang Guang, looked at her car, and said, “I have no idea how much it’s going to cost. I won’t know until I take it to the shop. How about this, leave me your phone number and I’ll call and give you the price later?”
“That’s fine!” Yang Guang pulled out his phone and found the number he had previously stored and dialed it.
Mu Xiaowan was stunned and looked up at him as she said, “Are you calling me?”
“Yes!”
“How come you have my number?” Mu Xiaowan narrowed her eyes into a wary expression.
“It’s not like it’s the size of your bra, so why are you so anxious?” Yang Guang said.
“You!” Mu Xiaowan stomped her foot furiously. If she hadn’t felt like she wouldn’t be able to beat him, she would have kicked him to death already!
Yang Guang chuckled and said, “I got your number from Old Chen. I was thinking of finding you sometime to talk about growing herbs, but I didn’t expect us to be so fated as to bump into each other on the street.”
“Like h*ll we’re fated!” Mu Xiaowan glared at him and then said, “Let me tell you one thing: we are in the business of wild herbs, no artificially grown ones, so you can’t do business with us.”
Yang Guang was stunned and said, “What if the artificially grown medicine is stronger than the wild ones?”
“How is that possible?” Mu Xiaowan snickered and said, “The artificial planting environment is bad because it lacks sufficient spiritual energy.”
“What is spiritual energy?” Yang Guang asked.
Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Mu Xiaowan changed the subject and said, “It’s impossible for you to work with us no matter what. Aren’t you busy? Hurry up and go. I’ll call you after I take the car into the shop.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll make a run for it?” Yang Guang asked.
Mu Xiaowan glared at him and said with a sneer, “You can’t keep running forever. Aren’t you from Qingshan Village? Finding you will be easy.”
“Okay then, I really have to go now, or growing my Tianma will be delayed for another day, and then I won’t be able to get a kiss from you,” Yang Guang said as he turned around to leave in a hurry.
Watching him leave, Mu Xiaowan gritted her teeth in anger and thought, Even if I lose, I won’t kiss you. I’ll bite you instead.
In the afternoon, Yang Guang got on the shuttle bus to return home.
Yang Guang had bought a few things today, some tools and other things he needed to plant, which were packed in a cardboard box.
As for the original Tianma species, Yang Guang could go to the mountains to find them.
The important point was that Tianma was a companion plant, which required honey mushrooms, something that couldn’t be purchased so easily.
Fortunately, he had met a business owner who dealt with edible mushrooms in the market and had ordered some mushrooms through him. Today’s shipment, coming from the provincial capital, would be delivered to the county tomorrow, and then the shuttle bus would bring them to Qingshan Village.
Yang Guang sat in the shuttle on the bumpy road and thought about how rich he would be once the Tianma was planted.
However, at this time, his phone suddenly rang.
When he noticed that it was Mu Xiaowan calling, Yang Guang picked up and asked, “Did you find out the amount for the glass?”
“They said it would cost $35,000 for a replacement of the original glass,” Mu Xiaowan said.
Yang Guang was at a loss for words. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t they just go rob someone? This is too expensive for a piece of glass. It’s only a little more than $10 at the glass store.”
“Bullsh*t. That can’t be the same.” Mu Xiaowan asked unhappily, “You’re not going to renege, are you?”
“Why would you think that?”
Despite feeling that it was way too expensive, Yang Guang still had a sense of responsibility. He said, “I’ll transfer $35,000 to you after I get home.”
However, to his surprise, Mu Xiaowan suddenly changed her tone and she said, “In fact, it’s okay if you don’t pay me back…”
” Huh?” Yang Guang was stunned and immediately said with alarm, “You’re not thinking of anything crooked, are you?”
“Screw you!” Mu Xiaowan cursed at him and said, “I just think you are good at fighting, so I would like to offer you the opportunity to do me a favor, and, if you do, I will pay for the glass myself. You don’t have to pay for it.”
“That would be really nice.” Yang Guang was delighted to hear that, but he continued, “However, to be clear, I can help, but I won’t be able to do anything illegal, nor will I be forced to do anything against my will.”
“Why are you so fussy? “Mu Xiaowan was clearly a little annoyed and said after scolding him, “I just want you to be my bodyguard. What are you thinking?”
“Oh, a bodyguard?” Yang Guang understood and nodded his head as he said, “All right, then I accept the offer.”
“Okay, I’ll see you in the county tomorrow at 4:00 pm.”
Mu Xiaowan hung up the phone.
“This woman is quite bossy.”
As he looked at the phone, Yang Guang rolled his eyes.
When he returned home, it was already late in the evening, and the family was already cooking dinner.
After exchanging greetings with Wu Xiaolian and Xu Ling and putting his things down, Yang Guang took out the rattle he had bought for Yaya and rushed to find her.
The faint scent of milk permeated her room as the child lay on the bed sleeping peacefully.
Yang Guang had no choice but to put down the toy and head out.
However, from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a basin on the floor by the bed with a pile of clothes, on the top of which were two pieces of white underwear.
Yang Guang paused in his tracks, and then, for some reason, he walked over.
He knew that this was his sister-in-law’s change of clothes, which he had seen before when she was being treated.
However, this was the first time that he had seen the lingerie she had taken off.
Yang Guang froze for a minute before slapping himself and thinking, What on earth are you thinking about? She is your sister-in-law.
Yang Guang turned around and quickly walked out of the room.
He went into the kitchen and offered to help prepare dinner, but Xu Ling gave him a look and said, “Huh? When you came back just now, you didn’t have a slap mark on your face, so why do you suddenly have a slap mark on your face?”
“Huh?” Yang Guang froze and his eyes darted around for a moment before he hurriedly said, “A mosquito landed on my face, so I slapped it.”
As soon as she saw his expression, she knew that he was making it up.
However, Xu Ling didn’t ask too many questions, but then changed the subject by saying, “Did it go well today?”
Yang Guang nodded his head and he said, “The mushroom seeds will arrive tomorrow, and we can start planting the day after tomorrow.”
He then asked, “By the way, how are things in the village?”
“Mrs. Niu promised to lease her land to you, and the adjoining families followed suit,” Xu Ling said.
“That’s wonderful. The vegetables and Tianma are both going to be growing together, so we’ll definitely strike it rich,” Yang Guang said.
“Come on. Stop bragging. Hurry up and wash your hands. It’s time to eat,” Wu Xiaolian said.
On that summer night, the three of them were sitting down for dinner. They were laughing and talking together in a pleasant atmosphere.
After finishing dinner, while Xu Ling was cleaning up the dishes, Wu Xiaolian gave Yang Guang a look and then turned around to return to her room.
When he saw this, Yang Guang followed her in confusion and asked, “Sister-in-law, what is it?”
“Today, Meng Li came again.. I think you have to seize the opportunity,” Wu Xiaolian said.
