My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Chapter 192 Intending to Recognize Chun Ya

“You did the right thing,” Yang Fenglan said gently.

"Mother, you...aren't angry?" Zhou Jingyi looked at her in disbelief.

"What's there to be angry about?"

"But, your sister's existence will make you..."

“It’s alright.” Yang Fenglan interrupted Zhou Jingyi. “I’m a jinx. I was kicked out of Qingshui Village. We won’t go back next year. I plan to rent a house in the city and start a small business. That way, even if people in Qingshui Village curse us, we won’t hear them.”

“Mother…” The boy’s eyes sparkled with a tiny light.

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian couldn't help but chime in, joining Zhou Jingyi in looking up at the person sitting on the bed.

"Would you send your sister away?" Zhou Jingyi asked cautiously.

"No," Yang Fenglan replied confidently.

On the way up the mountain, she observed that Chunya was not a bad person by nature, and was even quite smart, so of course she was willing to take her in.

After driving Zhou Jingyi away, Yang Fenglan closed the door, lay down on the bed, and stared at the thatched roof.

Long Aotian chuckled and crawled under the covers.

Yang Fenglan glanced at them coldly, "Don't forget, you're the system!"

Which system would crawl under the covers?!

Long Aotian paused, then emerged from under the covers, floating in mid-air, and once again revealed his arrogant demeanor.

I'm not trying to comfort you. I can tell at a glance that you and that crazy girl are doomed. Pretty good judgment, huh?

"It's quite accurate." Yang Fenglan laughed self-deprecatingly.

"But this is way too tragic," Long Aotian clicked his tongue. "Are you really willing to take in that little girl who could ruin your reputation?"

"Why wouldn't I want to? Painless childbirth is so great, especially since it's my own child."

[If a widow has a child, you'll be the subject of gossip and criticism.]

"I'm not afraid, I have a strong backbone."

"I admire you; you're a true man." Long Aotian gave Yang Fenglan a thumbs-up for the first time. "While I don't fully understand your choice, I respect it."

"Thank you, I knew you were the best system in the world." Yang Fenglan didn't forget her usual PUA tactics.

"Fenglan, are you alright?" Xu Yingying came in.

The room was pitch black, so she lit an oil lamp.

"It's nothing." Yang Fenglan kept recalling what happened back then. "Zhou Jingyi said that back then he gave the money he earned to Wang to help Yang buy medicine. I suspect that she gave Yang a drug that would stimulate her nerves."

Xu Yingying had probably guessed it by now, and silently patted Yang Fenglan, "It's all in the past, don't think about it anymore."

"I plan to reunite Chunya with me."

Xu Yingying wasn't surprised by her best friend's choice. "Have you thought this through? Let alone in ancient times, even in our time, this kind of thing would be criticized."

Yang Fenglan might not care, but Xu Yingying definitely couldn't stand anyone saying a bad word about her best friend.

"I've thought it through. After stockpiling the grain, I'll still have some money. Next year, I'll go to the city to rent a place and start a business." Yang Fenglan turned to look at Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying remained silent.

She knew that Yang Fenglan did this to stay away from gossipy people.

After a long silence, she sighed sadly, "Fine, I respect your choice."

"We'll move to the city together then."

"We'll talk about it later," Xu Yingying said, not giving a direct answer.

She still has her parents and younger brother. These days, her family has become a part of her heart. As for running away, she is not as carefree as her best friend.

"I've been saving your money for you. I'll give it to you when you're able to come down the mountain?"

“Okay.” Xu Yingying nodded. “You’ve thought this through. My mother made a bed for Chunya in the dining room. She’ll definitely be scared. I’ll sleep with her tonight.”

"Mmm!" Yang Fenglan stood up and gave Xu Yingying a big hug. "Yingying, thank you."

She really wanted to be alone tonight.

Thankfully, her best friend understands her.
