The man straightened his back and said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. I'll go out into the world and take a look. There'll surely be something I can do."

Just as Marilyn and her man were at the end of their rope, the first batch of village men who made a living outside of the village returned.

They wore decent clothes and spoke fluently as they told stories and gave lively descriptions to their fellow villagers of the wonderful world out there.

Marilyn overheard the men saying how easy it was to earn money out there. As long as one was willing to work hard, one could easily earn thousands of dollars a month.

When Marilyn returned home, she said to her man," Darling, Brett from the village went to Imperial Capital for a year and has changed dramatically after coming back. They said that it's really easy to earn money out there. Should we step outside and try our luck with them? Maybe we can make a lot of money and you'll be able to offer your savior treatment and even afford to pay Tiger's tuition fees. What do you think?"

There was a trace of imperceptible doubt in the man's deep and profound eyes. Imperial Capital? Why did he feel strangely happy when he heard the name of this city?

"Okay," he responded in a lukewarm tone.

Marilyn said, "If that's the case, I'll go and beg our neighbor Betty after dinner and see if they can pick us up when they leave."

"Mm."

After dinner, the man lay on the mat outside and gazed at the stars in the sky. The stars were surrounding the bright moon, though unfortunately, the bright portion of it was shrouded in haze. He loved the moon.

He could not explain why he suddenly had strange sentiments like that.

Marilyn was heard talking to Betty next door.

"Marilyn, if you want me to take your family to Imperial Capital to establish a foothold there, do you think you can afford the travel expenses? One trip to Imperial Capital will cost your family close to 1,000 bucks."

Contempt and disdain were detectable in her voice.

Marilyn was abashed and said through gritted teeth," Don't worry about the travel expenses, Betty. I'll borrow it from my dad."

Betty sneered, "Everyone knows that your dad no longer recognizes you as his daughter. Seriously, not only did you pick up a useless man, but he has also brought a drag along, making you support the entire family alone. What exactly do you see in him? Apart from his good looks, he's practically useless."

"Don't talk about him like that, Betty. My man is just suffering from old injuries, that's all. He's a hard worker, not someone who depends on his wife for a living."

"Hehe, save it. Everyone knows you like him. Here's a suggestion for you, Marilyn. If you don't have money, then send him out to make money. Why do you want to follow along?"

Marilyn bit her lip, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Betty teased, saying, "What's wrong? You're afraid that he's going to run away?"

Marilyn made no reply.

Betty said, "Seriously, you don't even know his name. Aren't you even worried that all your efforts will be for naught in the end if you're so dead set on following him?"

Marilyn was slightly mad now. Even so, she stifled her anger and said, "I'll go back and discuss with my man, Betty."

When Marilyn returned, she saw the man sitting on the mat with a straight face. She walked over in silence.

"Betty said that the travel expenses to Imperial Capital are very expensive-" "I heard everything." "Maybe you should go alone." Marilyn teared up. "Will you forget about me and the child when you become rich?"

"No. Once I settle down in Imperial Capital, I'll come home immediately to pick both of you up." The man consoled.

Marilyn nodded in relief.

The man said, "I'll leave Tempest to you, then."

"Mm."

Three days later, the man and a group of young workers from the fishing village got on the train to Imperial Capital.
