-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 43: Stomachache...Tears, whether from sweat or pain, streamed down unknowingly.

Xu Youliang's family lived in an old alley. His wife was a native of Haishi, and they had a single daughter. The house they lived in was an old one that belonged to her family.

As a young man from the countryside, Xu Youliang had managed to establish himself in Haishi with considerable support from his in-laws. He was not ungrateful, and over the years, he had been very filial to both his in-laws.

When Xu Hengzhou arrived, Xu Youliang was carrying his eldest son out of the alley. At the alley entrance, he encountered Xu Hengzhou, who was carrying a large bag.

Xu Youliang was pleasantly surprised. He had given Xu Hengzhou the address, not expecting much. After all, the teenager was only in his teens. Even if he were capable, would his family allow him to travel such a long distance alone? Unexpectedly, Xu Hengzhou had really come.

Xu Youliang immediately brought Xu Hengzhou home. His wife, a delicate Haishi woman, didn't ask many questions when she saw her husband bringing someone home. She quickly and skillfully poured tea for everyone.

Although Xu Youliang was anxious to see what was inside Xu Hengzhou's bag, he restrained his excitement and exchanged pleasantries with him for a while.

Xu Hengzhou, unperturbed, sipped the tea. In the seller's market, he had no reason to be in a hurry.

In the end, Xu Youliang couldn't hold back. His gaze repeatedly wandered toward Xu Hengzhou's bag. With an apologetic smile, he shifted the conversation to the bag.

Xu Hengzhou didn't beat around the bush. He decisively lifted the bag, and Xu Youliang immediately cleared the things on the table at home. Without any hesitation, he let Xu Hengzhou put the bag on the table.

In the nervous gaze of Xu Youliang, Xu Hengzhou opened the bag. Without mentioning the burlap bag that occupied half of the space, various exposed cans alone delighted Xu Youliang.

When Xu Hengzhou untied the burlap bag, the white rice was exposed to Xu Youliang's sight, and Xu Hengzhou clearly heard him take a deep breath.

Xu Youliang's face turned red with excitement, and he trembled as he touched the rice. His voice was unstable as he asked, "This bag, is it all rice?"

The last time on the train, Xu Hengzhou sold him a bag of rice at a high price, and the whole family was delighted.

There was too little food, and they couldn't eat for long even if they were thrifty. Xu Youliang brought the old couple over and cooked porridge with the rice. The porridge was thick and sticky, and the rice grains were all plump. One sip filled the mouth with the fragrance of rice.

But just that one meal, after eating, his wife regretted for a long time, saying that such good rice should have been cooked a few more times and shouldn't have been finished in one go.

Xu Youliang felt distressed listening to her, comforting her, saying that there would be more in a few days. However, secretly, he made up his mind that if Xu Hengzhou hadn't come, he would inquire and buy some good rice himself.

Now, Xu Hengzhou came, and he brought so much good rice! Such good rice, without a single stone, not broken or old, each grain full and emitting an enticing luster.

"All these..." Xu Youliang's hand pressed on the burlap bag unwilling to let go. "Little brother Xu, give Xu Ge face, exchange all these for me. I won't shortchange you on the price."
