Chapter 45: Firmly Determined to Marry Her
After returning to the dormitory, Liang Zhaodi carefully got on the bed, lay under the quilt and took off her outer clothes. She was so excited that she couldn't sleep at all, but she was afraid that Nie Xiulan would come back and notice something, so Liang Zhaodi closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.

The next morning, Wen Xi got herself ready and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She ate breakfast first and wrote a note and put it on the table, telling Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue that she was going to the mountains to see if there were any Chinese herbal medicines to treat colds and fevers.
Otherwise, if someone comes to visit her and finds that she is not at home, they may think that she has gone out to play and is pretending to be sick to take a leave of absence.
Fortunately, Wenxi did not catch a cold or fever, so he could go to the mountains to collect fish.
She doesn't have the halo of a protagonist, nor does she have the golden finger like the heroine Lin Yiwan, nor can she make money as easily as Lin Yiwan. Lin Yiwan trades with the black market once a week, and each time she needs 15,000 yuan in cash and 5,000 yuan worth of gold and jewelry.
Lin Yiwan has been here for seven years. No one knows how much money she has earned in these seven years, otherwise she would not have sent her brother and cousins to work in the factory.
As for why Lin Yiwan didn't go to the city to be a worker, it was because she yearned for freedom. She didn't like repeating the same thing every day in the factory. She didn't have to work in the team, so she just played every day. Her life was so wonderful.
She couldn't make a lot of money like Lin Yiwan, but she could sell the fish on the black market. There were fish everywhere in the fields and ditches in the countryside, so she could have a steady source of income.
She had read the original text and knew where the black market was. She also knew who the black market boss who cooperated with Lin Yiwan was and where he lived. She could get twice the result with half the effort when doing business with the black market.
Wenxi set out before dawn, and when she arrived at the waterfall it was already daybreak. She thought that since she hadn't pulled up the fish and shrimp nets for a few days, the fish in them must have died. But when she pulled up the fish and shrimp nets, she found that the fish in them were not dead. She quickly collected the fish and put the fish and shrimp nets back into the water.
She will make money from these fish in the future.
It was already noon when she arrived at the outer layer of the mountain. Wenxi didn't know what Chinese herbal medicine was, but in order to pretend, she picked up some firewood and put it in her backpack. That way, if someone came to check the situation, she could say that she didn't dig up any Chinese herbal medicine and just picked up some firewood.
When I came down from the mountain, I saw a tall figure standing in the alley at a glance. Jin Changfeng was over 1.8 meters tall, and it was hard not to notice him.
Wen Xi, carrying a backpack, walked over with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother Jin, why are you here?"
Jin Changfeng took out a box of medicine from the pocket of his military coat and handed it to Wen Xi, "I happen to have some medicine for treating colds here, take it."
"Thank you." Wen Xi didn't expect Jin Changfeng to be so considerate, but she had no plans to date or get married now, and she would not marry far away to the Fengshou Brigade.
She took a train for several days and nights to go to the countryside. The fatigue from the journey is still vivid in her mind. She would not give up everything for anyone and marry far away.
After Jin Changfeng left, Wen Xi also returned home. She poured the firewood on the ground next to the stove, and then began to prepare lunch.
After all, Wenxi caught a cold while going into the river to rescue someone and she didn't know if anyone would come to visit her, so she didn't cook a very good meal at noon.
I just made sweet potato rice, radishes, and cabbage, and I didn't dare to let any meat smell in it.
Sure enough, when work was over, Aunt Meihua came back with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue. Aunt Meihua took Wenxi's hand and asked with concern, "Xiaoxi, are you okay?"
Wenxi shook her head. "I'm fine. I just caught a cold. Thank you Aunt Meihua for your concern."
Aunt Meihua patted Wenxi's hand and said, "I heard about what happened yesterday. You are a good child."
Wen Xi didn't know what to say, so she just smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Meihua."
She didn't say anything like saving people is a duty. If Wen Xi had known that Mo Qiaolin was plotting to have physical contact with Jin Changfeng and force Jin Changfeng to marry her, she would never have jumped into the water to save Mo Qiaolin. It was because of the existence of people like Mo Qiaolin that Wen Xi never wanted to jump into the water to save people again.
After all, not only will you not get any thanks for saving someone, but you may also be blamed for it, thus ruining your life.
"Xiaoxi, you should rest well at home. I have someone here to help you. Don't worry about it. You should rest well at home! Then I will go back."
"Thank you, auntie. Goodbye." After seeing Aunt Meihua off, Wenxi closed the gate and went back to the kitchen to fry another egg. How could he eat only radishes and cabbage?
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. When it was almost time to go to work, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went out to work, leaving Wen Xi alone at home.
She locked the courtyard door, the house door and the door of her own room, and then began to sort out the things in the system warehouse. Although she signed out a lot of things, many of them were not large in size and were only enough for the three sisters to live on for a while, so the only things she could sell at the moment were the fish and the big wild boar.
However, Wenxi has not yet decided whether to sell the wild boar, because fish are easy to catch and there are plenty of them, but pork is hard to obtain. In other words, wild boar meat is more precious than fish, and it is not cost-effective to sell it for a few cents per pound.
In the evening, Wenxi prepared dinner and waited for Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to come back. Qian Liang slowly approached Wenxi's house from the foot of the mountain, then stuck to the wall, smelled the fragrance coming from inside, and frowned greedily. It seemed that Wenxi's family conditions were really good, which made him more determined to marry her.
From now on, he will not only want to eat this meat, he will also want to eat that meat!
Hearing the sound of everyone leaving work, Qian Liang walked out of the alley. He wanted to create the illusion that he and Wen Xi were having a secret rendezvous, which would make it easier for him to marry Wen Xi.
Sure enough, when people saw Qian Liang coming out of the alley between Wen Xi and Chang Qingqing's house, they couldn't help but take a second look at him, but they would never think too much about it. After all, they could enter the mountains from here, and everyone would just think that he came down from the mountains. No one would associate him with Wen Xi, because everyone knew that Wen Xi's family had high conditions and high requirements, and no one in their country could meet these requirements.
Just after dinner, there was a knock on the door. Wenxi hurried out to open the door, only to see Zhao Yuanyuan standing outside with a wooden barrel. Wenxi was a little surprised, "Yuanyuan, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sister Xiaoxi, this is the yellow eel my father caught when he was digging ditches. My parents thought Sister Xiaoxi was good at cooking, so they asked me to bring it to Sister Xiaoxi."
Zhao Yuanyuan's cheeks were red and she was very embarrassed.
