"Dad, we've hired people on both sides. They can do a lot of things well without my presence. Both the flower garden base and the medicinal material base will be on track soon, and we should see profits next year."

Although watermelons and cantaloupes cannot be sold for much money, and the money earned by strawberries cannot cover the investment, some medicinal herbs need to be planted for several years before they can be dug, while some medicinal herbs can be dug after one or two years of planting, and can be dug and sold next summer. Take it slow, the more time passes, the more money you can make, and she is not in a hurry anyway.

She didn't borrow money from the bank, so she didn't have to rush to repay the loan. Whether she made a profit or a loss was her own business.

Back in the hall, everyone sat down, and Lu Ting came over with the children.

Seeing Lu Yilan coming over, Su Yan said to the family members sitting there, "I invited you all here today because we haven't had dinner together for a long time, and secondly, because of the children's education issues."

Lu Fengnian asked: "What education problem? What happened?"

Lu Ting said, "Dad, don't worry. There's nothing serious. Lanlan is just dating someone. She took our Rourou out to play and she won't be back until around 8 or 9 in the evening."

Lu Fengnian asked Lu Yilan, "Lanlan, what's going on? Didn't you just take the college entrance examination? Why are you dating? Have the results come out yet?"

"Grandpa, I'm already seventeen. I'll be eighteen after the Chinese New Year next year. Why can't I have a boyfriend? Didn't my aunt chase after my uncle when she was sixteen or seventeen? She married him when she was eighteen."

Su Yan's eyes turned cold. When did she chase after Lu Ting? That was the original owner. Even if the original owner might be her previous life, the original owner just watched from afar when chasing Lu Ting and didn't even say a few words.

Lu Yilan was holding hands and kissing with her boyfriend, and was even touched randomly. By the way, it is not certain whether she used the money she lent her daughter to book a room.

Seeing his wife's cold eyes, Lu Ting knew that his niece had said something wrong and his wife was angry. Who was spreading the rumor that Yanyan was around him when she was a teenager?

"Lanlan, Yanyan didn't hang around me when she was a teenager. She just came to the military compound to play with her good friends and ran into me a few times. Who told you that she was chasing me? It was obviously me who was chasing my wife."

Su Yan didn't understand why Lu Ting said that. Even though he said that, she still hated him and Lu Yilan.

"Lu Yilan, I'm not your parent. Your relationship is none of my business. Please don't drag me into this comparison. And don't drag my daughter Rourou along with you. She's only twelve. I never held Lu Ting's hand when I was a teenager, let alone flirted with him."

Su Yan was really angry. No matter whether Lu Yilan was a child or not, she would not give her a good face while everyone was around.

Lu Jin walked up to Lu Yilan and asked angrily, "Lanlan, what's going on? When did you start dating? Why didn't we know about it?"

"Dad, you only have my brother and sister in your eyes, and Aunt Chen only has my brother in her eyes. How can anyone remember me? What's wrong with me dating? Several classmates in my class are dating."

Lu Fengnian looked at Hua Min and asked, "Xiao Min, do you know that Lan Lan is dating someone?"

"This kid never tells me anything. She always takes Rourou with her when she goes out to play. How would I know she's dating someone?"

Chen Yuhe's face looked extremely ugly. After so many years, she treated Lanlan better than her own two daughters, and Lu Jin treated her even better. Yet, the little girl was so resentful that she blamed them.

Lu Fengnian asked Lu Yilan, "You're dating someone and you're still taking Rourou out to play. How old is Rourou? How many points did you get on the test this time? Are you confident you'll get into university?"

Lu Yilan opened her mouth to retort, but Lu Jin interrupted her, "How did you do in the college entrance examination? Can you get into an ordinary university?"

"Dad, with so many students every year, how many can get into university? Even if they do, it's still a stable job, but they still can't make as much as doing business. Otherwise, why doesn't my aunt work in the hospital?"

Lu Jin scolded him, "Shut up! Stop using your aunt as an example and making excuses for why you can't read."

Su Yan sneered, "Lu Yilan, people are different. When I was admitted to university, I worked as a doctor in the hospital for a few years. The reason I didn't continue to be a doctor was because I had no one to take care of my children and had to resign.

I learned business so that my children could have a better life, and it was also a way to affirm my self-worth.”

If someone had helped take care of the children, she wouldn't have to resign. At least she could have worked in the hospital for ten years before resigning, and she wouldn't have been laughed at by outsiders.

Hua Min knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was blaming her for not helping her take care of the child. Why did her daughter Lanlan become more and more outspoken as she grew up, while she was obedient when she was a child?

"By the way, what did you borrow money from our Rourou for? If you wanted to buy study materials, you can come to me. But if you wanted to buy a gift for your boyfriend, I advise you not to.

Okay, you guys chat, I'll go check in the kitchen and serve the food at 7 o'clock sharp."

She had said everything she needed to say, and the rest was none of her business. As for where Lu Yilan spent the money, it was none of her business. If she couldn't pay back her parents, she had to return the money to Rourou.

Su Yan walked out of the hall and took a look at the kitchen. She found that she had gone back. She told the waiter to serve the food at 7 o'clock. She did not rush back. She stood under the golden thread date tree, reached out and picked a few golden thread dates and started to eat them.

As soon as Su Yan left, Lu Fengnian slammed his hand on the table. "Lu Yilan, what's wrong with you today? You did something wrong yourself, but you're still blaming your aunt. Tell me! How much money did you borrow from Rourou? What did you do with the money? How far have you progressed in your relationship with that person?"

The reason why Lu Yilan dragged her aunt into the conversation was because she envied her aunt and compared herself to her. Wasn't it because her aunt was able to live a good life because she married a good man?

The three potential partners she found were all college students. She knew that she would not be able to get into college with her own abilities, and it would be more face-saving if she could marry a college student.

When she makes a fortune in business in the future, her life will definitely not be worse than that of her aunt.

Seeing that Lu Yilan remained silent, Lu Jin also scolded her, "Lu Yilan, tell me, how much money did you borrow from them?"

"Uncle, I know. Sister Lanlan borrowed 80 yuan from me, and 10 yuan each from my second and third brothers."

Hua Min's head was buzzing. "Lanlan, not only do you ask me for a few dollars every week, but why do you borrow so much money from your brothers and sisters?"

Chen Yuhe didn't expect Lu Yilan to be so crazy that she would borrow money from her sister-in-law and children. She would go home every month to ask them for money, either to buy study materials or clothes and daily necessities.

"What did you do with all that money, kid?"

Lu Yilan looked at Lu Yirou coldly, "You are a traitor. You spent all that money. Ice skating is free. You eat popsicles and drink orange soda for free?"

Lu Yirou said aggrievedly, "Sister Lanlan, I always bring you a lot of food from home and give you fruit."
