Transmigration: The Peasant Gourmet Chef (穿越之农妇食娘)

Chapter 26

Li Hehua quickly returned to Lianhua Village. After preparing all pastries to be sold the next day, it was already dark.

Lying on her bed, Li Hehua couldn't help but think of the little things that she did together with the little guy today, making her heart feel warm.

This is good, the little guy doesn't reject her anymore.

But thinking of how reluctant the little guy was when she left, and remembering how she pulled his hand away, she couldn't help but feel sour. How she wish to have him stay by her side all the time, so that she can be nice to him all the time, so that she didn't have to turn her head away from him every time.

It's a pity. Even if she can take the little guy away, she currently doesn't have the ability and proper conditions to do so. She doesn't even own a house of her own, so how can she take care of the child?

So no matter what, she must have her pwn house first. She have been living with the He family for a long time. If she stay much longer, wouldn't that make her unthoughtful? She can't be like that.

Thinking, Li Hehua quietly sat up from the bed. To keep the sleeping girl from waking up, she didn't light the lamp and got up from the bad as slowly as possible. She took out the bag she was carrying with her and walked gently to the window. Using the moonlight, she opened the bag, take the money out of it and started to count.

Since she didn't have the time to exchange the copper plates for silver, the bag was heavy as there were a lot of copper plates in it. It was fortunate that she had string them together with ropes on her spare time.
Each string has a hundred strung together, making it easier to count.

All of her savings were all here. After counting, everything was totaled to three tael and six hundred wen. That is to say, she can now go and rent a small yard to live in at the town.

It was quite unexpected, she actually saved so much without knowing it. Looking at the pile of money in front her, Li Heha felt happy and immediately decided to go to the town and look for a house to rent after selling her pastries tomorrow and rent it out early. With that, she doesn't have to disturb Cao Simei's family.

Having the idea of renting the house, Li Hehua wasn't able to sleep well and woke up early the next day. Cao Simei is still sleeping so she sinoky went into the kitchen to make breakfast. After Cao Simei woke up, they finished their meal and went to the town.

On their way, Li Hehua told Cao Simei her plans. "Da jie, I won't return with you later. I'll go and look for a house and rent one when I find it suitable."

Cao Simer was shocked, "Da meizi, you are going to rent a house? You are living well with us, why are you leaving?"

In fact, Cao Simei took in Li Hehua out of good intentions and thought of keeping her for a period of time until she get through her difficulties. She has no intentions of letting her stay, but as their family get a long with her, they liked her more and more. Well, she always share delicious food to children and all of the food that she brought back from banquets was given to their family. She even let her family to join and do some job, letting them have an additional income everyday. She is simply a precious person for their family.

Now, Cao Simei treat Li Hehua like her own sister. She is quite used to her existence and she had never thought of letting Li Hehua go. Her family's He Da never mentioned the same and their family are quite willing to keep her. So hearing Li Hehua saying that she's going to rent a house in town, she suddenly felt that something is not right.

Li Hehua knew the good intentions of the He family but still said, "Da jie, I am very grateful to all of you for taking me in, but I can't stay in your house forever. What kind of person am I if I do that? I have enough money on hand to rent a house so I'll go and take a look first."

Cao Simei was a little anxious, "Da meizi, our family likes you. You are like my and your brother He's sister now so you can eest assured and just live with us. No one will tell you to leave. You don't need to rent a house. Renting a house in town is very expensive.

Li Hehua was very grateful for the He family for treating her well, but it is quite unrealistic to live in someone else's house all the time. She said, "Da jie, I know that you treat me like a family and I am very grateful to all of you. But I can't stay in your house forever. After all, I am a divorced woman. I have no problem staying in your house but even if no one talks about it, others will have various opinions. You can understand that right?"

Cao Simei was quiet.

How can she be unaware? When Li Hehua lived with them for so long, there are quite a number of villagers starting to gossip. During this days, those who came to inquire are not few, even when their family said that she is their distant relative living with them temporarily. After all, Shangshui Village is not too far from Lianhua Village and some people still know Li Hehua's origin. There are a lot of rumors in the village these days and their family is often pointed out by others.

If Li Hehua has to avoid this rumors, it is indeed the best choice to live in town. If she was Li Hehua, she will not also be able to stand living in someone else's house. It is not her own after all. No matter how good living in it, she will be uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Cao Simei sighed and felt that she couldn't force it. So she said reluctantly, "Da meizi, I'm actually reluctant to let you leave. Da Ya and other must be reluctant to part with their Aunt too. You often cook delicious food for them and now they are more intimate with you than me."

Li Hehua was by amused with her words and comforted Cao Simei, "Da jie, I'm just going to live in another place. It is not lile we won't be able to see each other anymore. I'll still count on you and help me sell pastries but It will be hard for you at that time. In the future, you have to go to me and get the pastries to sell them."

Cao Simei was quietly relieved upon hearing this. She was worried that she won't have to do the job when Li Hehua left and was also too embarrased to ask. "Isn't just taking another trip? You don't have to worry. I'll be there on time and I won't delay your business."

With that, the matter of moving to the town was agreed upon.
