Wu Liangchen drove the carriage to Red Leaf Village. Jin Cui, already aware they were leaving, was holding Wu Mengchan's hand with a sorrowful look on her face, reluctant to part.
"Mengchan, you have to promise you'll come back and visit me," she said.
"Mmm, I will." Wu Mengchan was also feeling down.
She had enjoyed her time with Jin Cui immensely over the last two days. Now, she had to leave, with no idea when she might return, and her heart was naturally filled with reluctance.
Only Jin Cui's mother-in-law was secretly overjoyed.
'Just go, hurry up and go!'
'Every day they leave earlier is another day's worth of money saved.'
So she eagerly helped them load their things onto the carriage.
Wu Liangchen had packed a lot of supplies this time. The end of the year was fast approaching, and judging by their itinerary, they would certainly be spending the New Year on the road.
There was no telling if they'd be able to buy provisions then, so it was better to bring extra.
