That’s because she doesn’t know if anyone nowadays understands the value of Nephrite Jade. If picking up stones carries certain risks, there definitely needs to be compensation.
However, Ye Yu doesn’t know anything. Worried she might get serious, I said: "I also heard from others that the stones over there in Hetian are beautiful and might sell for money, but we don’t really know if that’s true. So just pick more, in case you find so good ones. Isn’t it better to sell them at a good price later? You don’t have to give us money now. When these stones are sold in the future, we’ll split the money between our two families, how about that?"
Ye Yu looked doubtful, "You can make money from stones? Are these people nuts? But, not making money is foolish behavior. Alright, I think it’s fine. Just when I’m leaving from here, I’ll head back to Hetian as there’s nobody to take care of in the city, so I applied to return early. After the kid is weaned, I’ll co back, and during that ti, I’ll pick up stones whenever I can."
"Don’t let anyone see you, and even if they do, you’d better make up an excuse to brush them off."
"Got it, got it, sis, you’re really sothing, sneaking around just to pick up stones."
Ye Yu laughed hugging Danfeng, and Ye Huan worriedly avoided kicking her belly, while Ye Yu reassured her.
"Sis, the na you gave your child sounds so nice. Could you also give my child a na?"
"Co on now, I’m just their elder aunt. You guys are the parents and haven’t even nad them yet. How could I overstep?"
"Hu Zi is quite a rough guy, what does he know? I’ll have to rely on you, sis. Help think of two nas, prepare both for a boy and a girl!"
"Oh right, I also want to do like you – if it’s a boy, use their family na; if it’s a girl, she’ll take my family na."
Ye Huan widened her eyes, "Co on, your situation is different from ours, right? Have you discussed this with Ji Huzi? Are you just deciding this on your own?"
"Of course I discussed it. He agreed too. He said since we’re not just having one, girls will get married sooner or later anyway; whether they take my na or not, he doesn’t care. That guy is quite macho, but since I’m the one suffering to give birth, even if he might not like it, he has to agree verbally. Otherwise, I won’t give birth, humph!"
Seeing her sister’s proud expression, Ye Huan found it amusing, "Key is simplicity and being morable. For a girl, call her Ye Luo; for a boy, call him Ji Zhiqiu. In the future, whether it’s siblings or brothers and sisters, you can use either. If the brother cos out first, call him Ji Yeluo; if the sister cos out later, call her Ye Zhiqiu. The nas are unisex."
Ye Yu muttered carefully and then slapped her thigh: "Ah, sis, you’re amazingly clever. These nas are great, truly great. If it’s a brother, the surna even carries mine. Yes, use these two nas, fantastic! And if I have two daughters, hahaha, wouldn’t they both have my surna Ye?"
Ye Huan rolled her eyes at her: "Then you better hope you get a boy right away, or save yourself from having one sister after another and in the end, finally having a brother. Sotis I think not having to give birth might not be such a bad thing."
"Spit, spit, spit! Don’t talk nonsense. There are cases like this in our unit too, I see those couples living pretty well, and they also adopted a child. Plus, I’ve heard that so improved eventually, so there’s still hope for him. Be patient a little longer."
"I’m already thirty, it’d probably be too late to have kids."
"Thirty isn’t late; so people have them in their forties. Sis, as long as you’re healthy, age isn’t a problem. Keep an open mind and stop worrying about those ssy things."
...
After chatting for a while with Ye Yu, Tong Zhan rushed over hurriedly. Before she left, Ye Huan secretly packed a big bag of Brown Sugar, Milk Essence, homade apple vinegar, walnuts, and a whole package. Ye Yu saw these things and refused to take them no matter what, and Ye Huan got anxious upon hearing this.
"You ca all this way heavily pregnant to see , and what if sothing goes wrong on the way? How would I explain to your man, Hu Zi? You’re almost due, and I can’t co over to help. It’s only right I give you these things, and here you are refusing them from , are you looking down on your sister?"
Ye Yu felt her head getting big after hearing this, "Oh dear, my dearest sister, please don’t say that, I’ll take them, okay?"
"That’s more like it. There’s also stead buns and sauce I made for you inside. If you get hungry on the road, just grab so sauce and have sothing to eat. When you get to the place, make sure to replenish your nutrition, understand?"
