Yang Guang smiled helplessly and tried to change the subject. He said, “Let’s not talk about this right now. Where is Xu Ling?”

“She went to the village headquarters. If she saw you guys on the way in, she should be here pretty soon,” Wu Xiaolian said.

Just as she finished speaking, Xu Ling entered the house.

When she saw Qi Yingxue, she immediately smiled and said, “Yingxue, it’s really you!”

“Girl, you are stationed here, and you didn’t come visit me before coming to the village?” Qi Yingxue smiled and took her hand.

After all, they were at Yang Guang’s house, so it wasn’t really the time to catch up. She smiled and said, “I wanted to settle down first, Yingxue. Let’s go sit down and talk.”

“Sounds good.” Qi Yingxue nodded and went into living room with everyone.

On the outside, the house appeared a little old and lacking in repairs. But inside the house was neatly arranged, clean and orderly. Still, she was a little surprised.

It dawned on her that all this must be to Wu Xiaolian’s credit. As long as there was a woman in the house, everything was different.

Yang Guang looked at Wu Xiaolian at this time. “You girls talk. I’m going to go out for a moment.”

“Well, go, but remember to go to Old Sun’s on the way back.” Wu Xiaolian reminded him.

“I got it!”

Yang Guang then turned to go out.

Both of them had thought of the same thing. Because there were guests visiting, they had to at least give them dinner. Old Sun was the butcher in the village. He must have some fresh pork ready to be purchased.

Coming out of the yard, Yang Guang went straight to Old Sun’s place, where he was waylaid by Mrs. Niu.”Yang Guang, who is that visiting your house?”

“A friend.” Yang Guang smiled, knowing that she was fond of gossip, so he added, “A big boss who runs a hotel in the city.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Mrs. Niu’s eyes got really big, and then she commented with a surprised look, “You know how to pick them.”

“I do all right!” Yang Guang smiled rather proudly before moving on.

But Mrs. Niu hadn’t finished. “Where are you rushing off to? I have something to tell you.”

“What?” Yang Guang turned around and questioned her.

“He Hua left today, and she may not be back in the future,” Mrs. Niu lowered her voice and said.

“Huh?” Yang Guang was caught off guard and quickly asked, “But why?”

“I heard that she’s going to divorce Fu Zhonghua and won’t be living with him anymore.”

Mrs. Niu looked all proud of herself having the inside track of things. “Since she’s going to get divorced, naturally she can’t live in our village anymore. He Hua is such a hardheaded woman. What happened last time, it was over already, and Fu Zhonghua hasn’t made trouble for her again. But now she won’t let it go.”

By now, Yang Guang’s mind was a blank, and he no longer had any more patience to listen to her. He remembered what He Hua had said to him last night.

Suddenly, he thought of something. He ignored Mrs. Niu who was still talking and began running toward He Hua’s house.

“Aiya! What’s your hurry, boy? Why are you running?”

Mrs. Niu hadn’t finished all her gossip, but Yang Guang was already gone. All she could do was give an irritated glare at his departing figure.

As he rushed over to He Hua’s house, he saw that the yard was indeed empty and the doors were locked. There was no one at home.

When he saw this, Yang Guang’s heart seemed to suffer a violent impact of some sort, and suddenly he felt very lost.

“If you have time tomorrow afternoon, remember to come to my house.”

He Hua’s words last night replayed in his mind. Yang Guang was a little confused, as he turned his head and looked around.

He saw a basket that he hadn’t had time to take back home, so he quickly walked over to it. There was an envelope in the basket. Yang Guang took it out and opened it to find a letter inside.

The content of the letter was not long. It had been left to him by He Hua.

In addition to thanking him for standing up for her and speaking the truth, she also explained that she was leaving Qingshan Village. The memories that she had had there were not all that good, but because of what had happened last night, she had no more regrets.

After reading the letter, Yang Guang’s eyes became a little red.

He didn’t really want to let her go like this, but he also knew that if He Hua were to live a happy life, she must cut off all connections to Fu Zhonghua.

And because of that, she must go back to her ancestral home and not stay here in Qingshan Village.

Feeling as if his heart had been hollowed out, Yang Guang was dazed for quite a while before he stepped out of He Hua’s house.

After that, he went to Old Sun’s house for a cut of meat, then to the convenience store to buy drinks. He was absent-minded on the entire trip.

After returning home, as soon as he stepped through the door, everyone noticed Yang Guang’s odd behavior. Xu Ling couldn’t help but laugh and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you look like you are at a loss?”

“He Hua is gone. I mean, she’s gone back to her family’s home,” Yang Guang said.

“Oh, I know about that. She was right to go back. That guy Fu Zhonghua is a no good SOB.”

Xu Ling gave her opinion freely, then added, “Although we are in the habit of urging reconciliations rather than separations, in my opinion, she’s right to divorce Fu Zhonghua. This kind of garbage is not worth her time.”

“Oh.”

Yang Guang nodded but said nothing.

Seeing that he was still at a loss, Xu Ling couldn’t help but become a little curious. “Why are you so disappointed, could it be…”

“No, nothing!”

Yang Guang woke up and waved his hands quickly. Then he said, “Well, it’s getting late. Let’s get dinner ready.”

Xu Ling and Qi Yingxue looked at each other and seemed to understand something unspoken, but they didn’t ask any more questions.

“Actually, I wasn’t planning on staying for dinner, but since they won’t let me leave until I do, I have to oblige,” Qi Yingxue changed the subject and said with a smile.

“Nonsense! You said I was like your little brother, and of course you must have dinner at your little brother’s house.” Yang Guang smiled and continued, “But I don’t have anything delicious here, just some vegetables that we grow ourselves.”

“That’s even better! Organic vegetables taste the best. I have always wanted to use food sources from local farmers, but unfortunately they don’t have enough to sell,” Qi Yingxue said.

It was just a passing comment, but it gave Yang Guang an idea. He immediately looked at Xu Ling and said, “Then we should grow some vegetables and supply them to Miss Qi’s restaurant.”

“It’s a good idea, but there are two problems.”

Xu Ling smiled and said, “I have thought about that already. For one thing, we are located in the north. If we grow vegetables right now, the earliest we can pick them would be late autumn, and then we can’t grow anything again because of the winter.

“Second, the road is too long and bumpy, and transportation will be an issue. If the volume is not large enough, just the freight alone would cost a lot.”

Yang Guang was pretty quick on his feet. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked, “What if we were to build a greenhouse for the vegetables?”

“That is doable, but there is still a problem and that is the cost.”

Xu Ling counted on her fingers. “I have made inquiries before. To build a fairly large greenhouse would cost almost Y100,000. No one In our village seems to be in a position to invest that kind of money.”

When he heard this, Yang Guang was instantly overjoyed. He continued, “Money is no longer an issue.”

“What?”

Xu Ling was stunned for a moment, but then she remembered about the gold nugget. So she hurriedly asked him, “By the way, how much did you sell that piece of gold for?”
