You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Menstruation Cycle

“Okay, let’s call it a day, but can you take a look at our home first?” Gu Mingchen asked with a gentle grin.

Bai Rong paused when she heard him addressing the shack as their home.

She had always longed to have a place to consider her home. Therefore, she resonated and felt a heartwarming sensation when she heard his query.

He held her hand and showed her the way to their so-called home.

The entire shack was made out of bamboos, including its wall and its rooftop. The entrance was built facing the sea, with a ladder made out of bamboo leading up to the shack. He moved the stones to the bottom of the shack. Thus, they wouldn’t have to be worried about the downpour anymore.

“I’ll make the door using the remaining bamboos. Once the door is set up, we’ll be able to spend a night in a confined environment.” Gu Mingchen shared his flawless plan with Bai Rong.

“No! I’ll deal with the rest! You need to take a break for the rest of the day!” Bai Rong made herself clear in a domineering manner.

He couldn’t bear to have her deal with the heavy-duty tasks. Thus, he countered, “Why don’t we make do with a plank of wood tonight? I’ll get it installed tomorrow.”

She repeated herself and corrected him. “No! We’re not doing anything tomorrow! To be precise, we’re not doing anything until your hands recover!”

“Okay…” Gu Mingchen nodded. “I guess the mosquito will start swarming at us within a few weeks, but that won’t be an issue. I’m sure the shack will be ready within another few weeks.” He was head over heels in love with the woman by her side and didn’t want her to suffer the tiniest bit.

Bai Rong frowned and thought he was right because mosquitos would start showing up within another few weeks.

Perhaps she wouldn’t be around anymore by then. Since Gu Mingchen would have to survive by himself, she would have to do more while she had the chance to contribute.

“Let’s head over to the beach. It’s about time for dinner. Why don’t you head over and see if there’s any fish in the net after our meal?” Bai Rong suggested.

“That sounds like a great idea.” They returned to the beach and finished their meal. After they finished the entire pot of pork stew, Gu Mingchen returned to the sea.

She had to preserve as much fish as possible for Gu Mingchen. As long as he had a stable source of food, he would be able to make a sturdy bamboo raft and make his way back without others’ aid.

After she returned to her seat, she started weaving thin linens for herself. She managed to weave one every ten minutes.

When Gu Mingchen returned from the sea, he staggered his way back to the land. Bai Rong rushed over and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

He smiled and said, “How is that possible? However, it’s quite hectic for me to move these back to the shore.”

She craned over and saw the fishing net behind the man was full of all sorts of catch.

Gu Mingchen handed over the fishing net to her and instructed, “I want you to hold on to this.”

She held on to the opening of the fishing net while he returned to retrieve the heavy boulder from the fishing net. The fishes in the net wouldn’t stop convulsing.

Thrilled, she asked, “Do we have at least a hundred pounds of fish here?”

He nodded and said, “I guess we have more than a hundred pounds. Since it’s not much of a challenge, I’ll process the fish because you have other things to tend to.”

“No! Do you have any idea how infectious the viruses from the fish are? You have wounds on your hands! A renowned scientist passed on because he was infected while dealing with a fish! I’ll deal with the fish! You should think of the proper way to get rid of the remaining ribs. Why don’t you prepare another stew for our meal tomorrow?”

“It’s not half bad, but don’t think I can deal with another serving of stew after having it for three consecutive meals. Let’s head into the forest and get some greens tomorrow.”

“If that’s the case, can you please move the legs of the boar and remove the animal fat before rendering it into edible oils? I’ll cure the remaining food using salt and preserve it for another week.”
