Chu Xuan stood there, his face relaxed. "Tell me first. Whose secret do you want to exchange? What do you want to exchange?"

You never know, there might be unexpected gains.

Chu Zhi's face was slightly nervous. "I'll trade your father's secret with you for the recipe of grilled fish fillet."

The secret recipe for grilled fish fillets was crucial, as it was crucial to the future success of the village-run grilled fish fillet factory. Chu Xuan responded without hesitation, "No, I won't trade it. I'd rather not know my father's secret than trade it."

"Aren't you even interested in finding out your biological father's background?" Chu Zhi said in disbelief. "Who knows, maybe your biological father was born into a wealthy family. If you can find out, you and Chu Feng can trace your ancestry and have money to treat your mother's illness."

Chu Xuan certainly knew that Chu Zhi was not so kind-hearted. He said that just because he wanted the secret recipe for grilled fish fillets.

Of course, testing is not ruled out.

"After all these years, where can I find out? I don't have any grandparents, but I'm living well. I don't have the time to look for my relatives."

Turn around and leave.

Chu Zhi called after her, "Don't leave in such a hurry, let's discuss it."

Chu Xuan did not stop.

About ten minutes later, Chu Zhi returned to Feng Chunhua.

"Mom, you read that right. Chu Xuan really did go to Wei Qiang's house as a guest. I tried to exchange secrets with her as you said, but she disagreed and refused to give me the recipe for grilled fish fillets. She also said that after so many years, she's still doing well without her grandparents. She doesn't have the time to look for her relatives."

Feng Chunhua seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond immediately.

Chu Zhi continued, "Mom, are Chu Xuan's grandparents really from a wealthy family?"

Feng Chunhua then spoke up, "Of course not. Okay, I'll give you some money. Go buy two pig's trotters, one for each of us."

When Chu Zhi heard the word pig's trotter, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "It's a pity that Dad is not here."

"That old guy, I've been injured all day and he didn't even come to check on me. Go back to the village this afternoon and see what he's doing at home!"

"Are you sick and can't get out of bed? Mom, give me some extra money later, in case I need it urgently."

"Okay."

Feng Chunhua took out five ten-yuan bills from her pocket and put them into Chu Zhi's hand.

Chu Zhi happily went out to buy pig's trotters.

At this moment, Chu Xuan had already boarded the carriage heading back to the village.

There was no one else in the car, so Chu Xuan took the opportunity to discuss with Uncle Qi about hiring a car to deliver grilled fish fillets every morning, with a daily fee of 50 cents for the car fare plus errand fees.

Uncle Qi agreed immediately.

After making this decision, Chu Xuan stopped talking.

Thinking silently, Chu Zhi's words just now should have been taught by Feng Chunhua.

It seems that Feng Chunhua cares very much about whether she can find out about her biological father's background.

When I get home, I have to remind Xiaofeng not to show his desire to find his relatives in front of others.

To avoid being plotted against by Feng Chunhua.

Now Chu Xuan is very sure that Feng Chunhua’s eldest son is still alive and is at her grandparents’ home.

As long as you keep a close eye on Feng Chunhua, you will reap rewards sooner or later.

Thinking of this, she suddenly sneezed and wondered, who was talking about her? It was most likely Feng Chunhua and her son.

Little did she know that Aunt Li and Wei Qiang were also mentioning her.

Aunt Li was strongly recommending it to her son, "Qiangzi, I asked Chu Xuan. She's single and runs her own grilled fish fillet workshop to save money for her mother's medical treatment. She's sensible and filial. Would you consider it?"

Wei Qiang waved his hands repeatedly, "She's too fat, I don't like her. Mom, please forgive me! From now on, when I look for a wife, I will only look for one under 140 pounds, and definitely not a fat one."

"You don't know yet, do you? She's trying to lose weight. I heard she's taking Chinese medicine and exercising to lose weight."

"Then I'll wait and see how she loses weight."

"Will there still be a share for you when she loses the weight?"

"If it's not mine, then it's not mine. I don't care."

"You kid."

"Mom, I finally got back. Can we talk about something else?"

"Okay! Just don't regret it in the future."

"If I regretted it, I'd be a pig."

When Wei Qiang said this, he had no idea that in the near future, he would really become a pig...

Ten minutes later, Chu Xuan returned home and did not hide the honey he brought back.

Make a bowl of honey water for each person who works at home.

In their village, honey is a good thing, but you can't buy it even if you have money.

Everyone drank the honey water, feeling sweet in their mouths and happy in their hearts.

Time flies, and September 10th is here in the blink of an eye.

Chu Feng, Erleng and Sanleng have all been enrolled in school for more than a week. Usually, the three of them go to school together in the next village.

Chu Xuan’s grilled fish fillet business is still good.

I go fishing when I have time. The harvest is not as much as before, but I can always sell it for thirty or forty yuan.

After deducting living expenses, social interactions and the cost of Chinese medicine, Chu Xuan and her brother saved more than 13,000 yuan.

However, what surprised Chu Xuan was that the two bosses who had increased orders a lot last month did not urge for orders this month.

Of the 2,000 kilograms order from Boss Yuan, 1,000 kilograms have been shipped, while Boss Hou only ordered 500 kilograms.

Feng Shuai has not come to wholesale again. Zhang Feifei's order is fixed at 50 kilograms per day. The Tian family and the Qin family come to wholesale every three or four days, and each time they buy dozens of kilograms.

This quantity was fully sufficient, so Chu Xuan didn't ask everyone to work overtime.

At around nine in the morning, Mu Chenze rushed over and said, "Chu Xuan, I talked to Boss Hou, and he said that he will temporarily reduce our grilled fish fillet orders."

Chu Xuan's heart skipped a beat. "Why?"

Mu Chenze's face was calm. "Because he has a new supplier. Don't worry for now. This is only temporary. He said he would find a reason to kick that supplier out."

"It seems he doesn't like working with that supplier?"

"That's right. Not only is the grilled fish fillet of inferior quality, but it's also more expensive than ours."

"Then why did he let that supplier deliver the goods? Is there something fishy going on?"

"That's right. He's his wife's younger brother. He refused at first, but his wife made a big fuss. At this juncture, she found out she was pregnant, so he had no choice but to agree. However, he said that if the grilled fish fillets don't sell well in the future and he loses money, his wife will stop making a fuss and will then order from us."

"Okay! Boss Hou's thinking is different from ours! He would rather lose money than not care about his wife."

Chu Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, but also understood Boss Hou's approach.

Only when the family is peaceful can the business continue.

"In fact, in certain special moments, men are willing to pay money to please their wives. This is today's money."

Mu Chenze paid today's bill and left.

Chu Xuan pondered over what he had just said...

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Shuai knocked on the door and came in.

His arms were bandaged and the wounds on his face had scabs over.

"Chu Xuan, I really regret not listening to you. I was beaten up. I've been in the hospital for many days, and all my earnings went towards medical bills. I'm only feeling a little better today. How about wholesale 300 kilograms of grilled fish fillets? Do you have any in stock?"

Chu Xuan shook his head slightly. "I can only give you 200 kilograms of it now. Have you caught the person who beat you?"

Feng Shuai looked dejected. "No. Those bastards are so cruel! I hate them so much! I curse them to have no descendants!"

Chu Xuan brought him a bench and said, "Sit down and talk. Didn't they steal your money? They just beat you?"
