Barely Passable

After breakfast and after Li Wazi's family arrived, they moved their bamboo shoots onto their ox-cart to be taken to the restaurant in town.

On the way there, Li Wazi dared to ask, "Sister Liu Duo, Miss Fang mentioned that their boss is inviting you to the capital. Will you go?"

He was curious. They had only heard about how prosperous that place was.

Sitting on the cushion Ye Ling had prepared, she smiled and replied, "If it were you, would you go?"

Liu Duo didn't give a straight answer. Li Wazi, without much thought, said, "No, I wouldn't!"

She chuckled at his quick response. She knew that for a low-class farmer, going there was unimaginable.

She grabbed Ye Liu by the arm and leaned against him, "We could go there though. When we have enough money, we can go to the capital together as a family. And even to the Imperial City and other places. Anywhere we want."
