Chapter 58 Make a Few More

By late afternoon, Chen Dabao had not returned. There was no firewood left in the house, so Mrs. Wang went to pick up some wood on the western side of the village, wearing gloves. Everyone in the house dared not let Chen Afu go alone, the forest there was dense and sparsely populated, even if she was strong, she could not beat a man.

Without Jin Yanzi and other people accompanying her, Chen Afu was also scared to go to fetch the firewood. She thought in mind that she should spend money to buy firewood in the future, so she could not keep pretending to be poor.

The sun was setting and there was still no sign of Chen Dabao. Chen Afu couldn't help but feel anxious, she went out into the yard and joined Chen Ming, who was looking east under a tree. In the distance, farmers were still busy in the rice fields, and the golden rice had almost all been harvested.
