Chapter 20 - Leave Qingshan

Sun hwa seeing Guo Jinyi like this could already easily tell what the latter was thinking

She had seen the way the village folks had stared at the little brat and now Guo Jinyi. To say it didn't pick her interest would be a total lie

"Why do you call him a bad luck star?" Sun hwa asked as she begun to handle the herbs she needed for the beauty products she needed to make. The little guy had slipped away at some point and she had no idea, where he went but that didn't bother he much, as village children were bound to go out to play often and they'd eventually come back home

"He caused the death of an entire household on the day of his birth" Guo Jinyi replied glancing around warily to be sure the child wasn't anywhere around

"Accidents happen, why blame it on a child?" Sun hwa rolled her eyes, she wasn't inclined to believe things like that, all she saw who a child who needed love and care

"But his fortune was read before death and it was stated that he'd bring misfortune!

I don't want to be fetish sister hwa but I think you shouldn't have him around often to prevent accidents from happening, especially now that you're pregnant" Guo Jinyi advised to which sun hwa chuckled lightly

Her hands processed the herbs skillfully

"I'll keep your words in mind" at her reply Guo Jinyi let out a sigh of relief, then turned her attention to watching sun hwa process the herbs skillfully while she begun making cotton padded jackets for her three daughters

With the households split, there was enough money to buy enough material to make a piece of cotton padded jacket for her daughters and once the cotton's were harvested, they could be treated and filled into the cloth to make the cotton padded jackets even warmer

In the past, they couldn't dream of this luxury yet now she could make clothes for her daughters. Even if she and her husband couldn't have any, she was quite contented and full of joy, so much that her tears fell

"Is something wrong?" Sun hwa couldn't help asking, seeing Guo Jinyi smiling and crying

Guo Jinyi startled out of her thoughts let out a wide grin

"Sister hwa, I was thinking maybe my Jinlong could also build a house, even if it's made of mud. A house is a house" Guo Jinyi hurriedly wiped her tears and voiced her thoughts to sun hwa

"Do you want to stay in Qingshan all your life?" Sun hwa asked, her hazel eyes were focused on the herbs, she didn't even glance at Guo Jinyi's whose expression looked complicated

Leave Qingshan?!

She had never thought of that

The future was bright now but leaving Qingshan

That future was bleak

"Third brother has a knack for business" Sun hwa finally raised her head, crossed her arms over her chest as she stared at Guo Jinyi

Really stared

"My Jinlong knows business? But leaving Qingshan my Jinlong isn't educated like the fifth uncle

Don't tell me, you have thoughts of leaving sister hwa" Guo Jinyi's eyes went wide in panic, sun hwa sighed as she lowered her eyes and continued to handle the herbs

A rather delicate process for cosmetic making

"Sister hwa, you can't leave! What happens to the child! The old matriarch would never allow you take the child away

The child's life would be ruined" Guo Jinyi anxiously explained, though deep down she loathed the fifth son for running off after his wedding night

No one blamed the fifth son

To Matriach Deng, her fifth son was right

Whatever he did was right!

"I won't leave my child, calm down sister Jinyi" sun hwa pinched her brows, feeling an headache coming on

She had only wanted to use the opportunity to nudge Guo Jinyi towards having Jinlong venture into business

How then did it turn to the matriarch taking her child?

None one was capable of taking her child from her!

"Sure I would divorce the fifth son but I'll take my child and that brat with me" she added naturally, blow a bit of air as she felt a bit stuffed under Guo Jinyi's suspicious gaze

"You still haven't given up on that brat" Guo Jinyi chuckled lightly

"Why give up on him? Like I said he's as human as everyone else

Plus he came to me, I didn't force him to follow me"sun hwa shrugged as she begun to blend the mixture. She intended making a creamy paste as a moisturizer for her skin to treat all the yellowish mess and balance her skin texture.

"I knew you'd only do what you want to do, so what's that about doing business and moving out of Qingshan?" Guo Jinyi lowered her head and continued to slow the outline of the jacket

"Now you know to remember that" sun hwa rolled her eyes but her hands didn't stop moving

"I've always wanted to go to Beijing, I know my mother in law won't stop us, she'll support us

So if you think Jinlong can do business. It means he can make money, enough for us to save for the new year" Guo Jinyi naturally voiced out her thoughts

Everyone had their own little schemes and Guo Jinyi was no different

All she wanted was a good life for her little family and maybe a cute chubby son too

"He sold the meat at the market and he was really good at it sold at before I and that brat was back" sun hwa didn't try hiding a thing

The matter of the sales also wasn't a secret plus she had nothing to hide with Guo Jinyi

"Jinlong has worked as an accountant in the county for half a year" Guo Jinyi gave a small nod then she sighed

"The job slot was later snatched by the second household for their son" saying this Guo Jinyi's fists clenched tightly but at that time they the third household was powerless

They weren't favored for their lack of sons however the second branch were always in Madam Deng's good graces with many sons

"He doesn't have to work for someone else, with little capital he can start his own business

What's your husband good at?" Sun hwa asked as she turned to Guo Jinyi who was thinking hard

"Apart from farming, Jinlong fishes well, he's also a good swimmer!" Guo Jinyi as of realizing something widened her eyes in excitement

"My Jinlong can take a basket to sell at the county market! Why haven't I thought of that" Guo Jinyi slapped her thighs happily

If Jinlong can do more work, he could earn a little stash of savings! Even if he handed half his earnings to his parents

"Sister hwa, you are so smart" Guo Jinyi giggled excitedly, she could barely contain her excitement

As she grabbed her woven basket and hurried out "I'm going to find Jinlong" her voice soon disappeared as she ran off and sun hwa let out a small chuckle

She didn't dwell on Guo Jinyi's departure, instead she turned her attention to formulating cosmetics

With the able bodied in the farms, the environment was rather quiet. Safe for the laughter of the children catching sparrows

It was in fact relatively quiet and sun hwa spent the whole morning till noon formulating cosmetics

When she got hungry at noon she made a pot. Of potato noodles and a fried egg

Which wasn't much but more than enough with an apple, which she finished quickly

By evening the first set of products were ready for her use and sun hwa couldn't help smiling to herself, even giggling as she thought about how her skin would look like

"You brat were have you been?!" Sun hwa frowned seeing the little rascal walk in, covered in mud from head to toe

However his lips were clamped tightly, he didn't say a word but instead disappeared to the room he currently occupied.

He ladled himself some hot water, had his bath and had the leftover noodles sun hwa had prepared earlier

She couldn't help frowning at the cold shoulder but she ultimately said nothing only finishing a bowl of berries

Then she used the products she had formulated and went to bed. She fell asleep immediately her head touched the pillow
