A transmigrated farm life of a retired soldier

🌾15

Dole has been noticing gaga and uncle fuego and his wife has been busy after a few days.

Gaga who usually stays by his side goes to the village every day for many hours.

Well, she seems to be helping the old couple and the villagers. But, dole had already said his intentions on not wanting an extravagant wedding.

Which is just answered back from gaga with a knowing smile.

Dole just sighed and let them be. But the things disturbing him most is none other than his soon to be husband, hana.

(Husbands are given to male and sub males, hana doesnt have that kind of mindset so she just assumes since dole is a man, he will be the husband)

Hana has been busy, .. Not only that, leaving the village often to the town. Even giving excuses when dole tries to make a conversation with her.

Dole is down,

He had been feeling more guilty and feeling shameful because of it..

As dole contemplates, ..

Hana, in another part of the town, huffed. Muscles rippling as she dragged the huge rope holding in her hand.

Followed by the grunting of males around her as they pulled one more time.

"One more push! "

The man on top of the tree, taking a good view, screamed.

"One more push people! "
They took a heave, and pulled the rope one more. The huge boulder which is neatly blocking the huge cave, moved, making a huge Thudding noise as it creates smoke, slowly showing shines of rolling down.

The man screamed.

"Run! People run! "

Hana, who was one of the people below, laughed and ran with the others on top of the stacked stones.

The huge boulder rolled down , as it creates smoke and dies down.

The people cheered laughing. "Finally we remove the damn boulder! "

Hana smiled with them, sighing as she watch the boulder.

A man, tap her on the shoulder. "My friend! Thank u for working with us! "

"No worries, gari. " hana smiled, patted his back in return. Mining crystals is dangerous. But its worth a lot of cash just working on it.

She had asked ways to get here to work just for 6 days , the money was enough to cover the expenses and he had earn a bit, she can just add her money and it will be enough.

"Why are you working so hard though, and looks like youre in need of money. " he offered her water in a bamboo cup.

Hana laughed, took it and said. "I need the money, im getting married tomorrow. "

Ah yes its tomorrow.

Gari, choked on his water. Thumping his chest, "lad! Thats a good thing! "

Gari patted her back harder, laughing. "Must be your first wife! I see you adore your wife, come on. No lad will come to the most dangerous mining site just to get enough money for marriage."

Hana just smiled, keeping it to herself.

As soon as she gets the money, she smiles, puting it neatly in her small bag, it made a sound as she walks.

Then before the night falls, she had bidden goodbye to gari and the men she had work with for a few days.

She didnt bring anything but her money and satisfaction as she walks back home. It was getting dark when she came to see her house finally. Stopping for a few moment when she saw a familiar figure standing infront of the house.

Gaga who is carrying a lamp to give light to the small house she had built.

With doles figure being brighten by that light.

She blinked., almost as fast as she tries to wipe away the remaining dirt she mag have on her face, her arms and her clothes.

She doesn't want him to know for many reasons, that she took a job being a miner. She doesn't want him to overthink.

Still, she hid her hand behind ber back, praying the darkness would cover for her atleast as she approaches with a smile.

"Its already dark what are you doing here? " she asks politely with a smile.

Dole stared at her, waiting for her to come closer. As soon as sh3 comes close enough, she was taken aback by the unexpected movement by dole.

Grabbing her arm and swiftly pulling her hands to the light. Her arms are clean of dirt, but her nails arent. Her hand shows the hard work she had been doing the past few days..

Hanas lips became stiffed.

Clearing her throat as she calmly retreat her hand. "Uhm.. I just went to the mountains to hunt.. "

Dole eyed her. "The villagers says you have been going to the town,. You know the mountain where u hunt and the town are two total opposite directions"

Hana gave a smile.. "Oh.. Haha i actually went to help in the docks, you know,.. With, the ships sailing.. To add some money for the preparation.. "

Dole nodded. "So please do explain, why is the dirt in your hand had some coal stuck to them.. Which is usually used for cooking.. Or which is usually found.. In mining"

Hana pressed her lips together. Sweating at the interrogation, her golden eyes swirling to meet gaga, seemingly asking for help.

Gaga winced,
Looking away, 'sorry hana, i cant help u'

Hana took a deep breath.. "I.. I went to get a job in the mine.. "

"Mine! "

Hes frustrated, dole was very frustrated.

And hana knows why. Dole is a peacock, loved and admired lock in the cage. He can have anything he wants.. At least used to.

He may be the kind of person that is very protected, the one who didn't have to worry about anything. Or even not used to having a person.. To make so much effort for him.

And he is flustered..

"Its.. Its no big deal.. " hana tried to appease him. "I got my job done.. And i got enough money to give you a good wedding.. Well.. Not the best.. But to the extent i can afford for now.. But.. "

She paused.

Seeing his expression.. She slowly lower her hand.. Asking very softly. ".. Do.. You hate it? "

" i want a normal wedding! "
Dole bit his lip, eyes getting red. "Im fine with a simple wedding.. I cant risk your life for working in dangerous mine just so we can afford a good wedding.. "

"But its my choice! "
Hana argued. ".. Its.. Its what i want to give you.. Im not rich.. Or have a high status.. But im willing to do it.. Im sorry i didn't tell you in the first place. But even if i did, and you argue with me. Ill still do it.. "

Her voice is firm, staring at dole.

Dole paused.

Her eyes was so clear. So firm.. Seeing him look away, hana sighs, "dole.. You will be my spouse. Im a commoner.. Im a simple farmer.. But im willing to do my best.. "

Dole was silent. Closing his eyes.. Looking at her and said softly. "Just.. Dont do work as dangerous as mining again"

Hana raise a brow, as she laughs. "I promise"
