Chapter 145 - 145: New Place To Stay
“Fifteen yuan!” Jiang Xia said with a laugh.
“Wow! That’s a lot! Adding the five yuan 1 have, we now have twenty yuan!” Even Zhou Lan couldn’t help but exclaim this time.
“Yes, tonight we can afford to stay in a hotel for one more night. What do you think, Xiao Gu, are you happy?” Jiang Xia said, addressing Jiang Gu with a hint of flamboyance.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Gu frowned, displaying a maturity beyond his age as he began to lecture Jiang Xia, “No, sister. We’ve just started earning money. We can’t spend it carelessly!”
This comment caused Jiang Chuan, Zhou Lan, and Jiang Xia to burst into laughter simultaneously.
“This child, so young, yet she knows how to be considerate.” Zhou Lan pulled Jiang Gu into her arms, chuckling.
“Dad and sister have worked hard to earn money, Xiao Gu knows.” Jiang Gu leaned into Zhou Lan, his eyes fixed on the weary Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia, showing genuine concern. This made both Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan feel a stir in their hearts.
It seems they still need to keep working hard to earn money.
Looking at the dirt-covered Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu, the group decided to first take a bath, eat some food, and talk about selling vegetables in the afternoon.
With the experience from the morning, selling vegetables in the afternoon went a lot smoother.
In total, Jiang Xia earned another fifteen yuan, making their current savings nearly thirty-five yuan, a quantum leap from when they first arrived.
Jiang Xia wasn’t greedy. He stopped selling at around three o’clock in the afternoon.
Firstly, because they had enough money for the time being and secondly because they needed to find a place to stay.
They couldn’t stay in the hotel anymore, as Jiang Gu had suggested, they needed to save what they had earned.
Secondly, since they had made the effort to come to the county town, they needed to stay for a few days. They had also promised Jia Guang they would find him if they found more wild vegetables. It wouldn’t be good to go tomorrow, would it? It would only arouse his suspicion.
The family thought about wandering towards the edge of the county town to see if they could find an uninhabited place, where they could use their interspace powers.
After walking for quite some time, they indeed found a place.
It was at least ten kilometers away from the county town, an abandoned house surrounded by nothingness.
The yard was overgrown with wild grass and the windows were shabby and ragged, but at least it could shelter them from the wind, which was already quite good.
Normal people might be afraid to come here, but Jiang Xia’s family, who had the ability of interspace teleportation, had even encountered a wolf pack. What was there to fear?
“Are we going to stay here tonight?” Jiang Gu asked, holding Zhou Lan’s hand.
“Yes, Xiao Gu, are you scared?” Zhou Lan asked softly.
“Not scared, as long as I’m with dad, mom, and sister, I’m not scared.” Xiao Gu showed an incredible amount of bravery.
Seeing this, the group stopped their chatter. They needed to tidy up the house before it got dark. When night fell, the lack of lights would be an issue. But they didn’t care much about the sleeping environment, as long as they could sleep.
Now that they were alone, the interspace powers of Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan could be fully utilized.
At night, Jiang Chuan still brought out the tent. After quickly setting it up, they all crawled inside.
Ever since Jiang Gu slept in the tent last time, she had been wondering when she could do it again. Now, her wish had finally come true, and she couldn’t be happier, especially because she could cuddle up with her sister and mom in there.
Without any lights, there wasn’t much they could do for entertainment.
Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia discussed taking a break the next day and going to Jia Guang’s house the day after. At that time, they planned to bring out the roe deer from the interspace and sell it to him.
They earned fifteen yuan from just two rabbits and a basket of wild vegetables. The roe deer should fetch them a good sum of money.
If the Jia family didn’t save any cloth tickets for them, they would simply go to the shopping mall and buy a couple of outfits, and then return home happily.
They had enough money now. Even without selling the roe deer, thirty-five yuan would be enough to spend in the village for a while.
The more Jiang Xia thought about it, the more she felt hopeful about their future. As they chatted, they gradually fell asleep. Her dreams were filled with scenes of them making a fortune from selling the roe deer. So much so, that she woke up in the morning from such a beautiful dream.
When she woke up, they weren’t in the tent anymore. This gave Jiang Xia quite a scare. She thought she might have traveled back to her own time..
