Chapter 35. Should be... easy to raise, right?
It’s understandable. If it were me, having such an adorable and smart daughter, I’d probably find it really precious too.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled without saying anything. Instead, he took out Silver Coin from his pocket, counted one hundred sixty copper coins, and handed them over. "Brother Hua, if you ever catch any game again, feel free to bring it to our Tasty Delights. The price is absolutely fair."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang." Seeing that the conversation wasn’t focused on his own child, Hua Chengtian relaxed, accepted the copper coins, and once again put on a smile, nodded, and left Tasty Delights with his two children.
"Dad, so much money, let’s catch more next time."
His daughter’s words made Hua Chengtian laugh out loud: "Daughter, this time is an exception. The rabbit was large enough and alive; otherwise, the price per pound would be two or three coins lower. Moreover, wild rabbits in the mountains are not easy to catch. Our family isn’t specialized hunters, and even those who are don’t necessarily have a good catch every day, especially when the mountain is snowbound in winter; they hardly get anything then. Most importantly, it’s dangerous up there, and money is exchanged for their lives, so just think about it and don’t take it too seriously, okay?"
While enjoying himself, Hua Chengtian also worried that his daughter might have similar thoughts, so he hurriedly explained to let her know she shouldn’t entertain such ideas.
"Dad, I know." His daughter Hua Jin returned a "your daughter is not dumb" look, "Dad, I didn’t say we should go to the mountains. Don’t we still have a few little wild rabbits at home? I’ve read in books that wild rabbits can have several litters a year. Dad, how about we raise wild rabbits? If it goes well, we won’t have to worry about making money." Her eyes sparkled as she looked at her father, her little face flushed with excitement.
These words from his daughter indeed stirred something in Hua Chengtian’s heart; raising rabbits as she suggested could actually work.
It’s just... does his son have books on this too?
But then he remembered his son often borrowed books from classmates to read at home, so bringing home some miscellaneous books wasn’t impossible.
