The blooming of flowers at this time gives people hope for a bright future. Of course, this is not a deception; it is something that can indeed be achieved. In this era, anyone who is diligent, hardworking, and has a bit of business acumen can make money.

Even the village secretary was excited at this point. He said to Huakai, "Huakai, what you said is so useful. Although our village has well-developed roads, it is not a big village and is still a poor village. If we can help everyone go out to earn money, won't our village become richer and richer in the future?"

Hua Kai smiled and said, "That's for sure. Putting aside everything else, you can set up a small stall at the entrance of our village and sell things like fried dough twists and tea eggs. More than a dozen buses pass by every day, and some people will inevitably get hungry on the way. They'll definitely buy something when they see food for sale. Now my parents know a lot about doing business at the market. If any family in the village wants to start a business, they can ask my parents. We're not stingy people; my parents will definitely tell everyone what they know."

These words greatly enhanced the family's prestige in the village. Previously, they were inconspicuous in the village, but now they have become highly sought after, and people are eager to ask Hua Wanjiang and Gu Lanyan about going to the market.

The flowers were also meant to boost the father's confidence, since he was destined for great things in the future.

Zheng Shuzhen and Hua Zhongzhi were completely stunned. What was going on? They were supposed to make Hua Kai lose face, but now it had become their family's moment of glory?

At this moment, even the village party secretary went into the house and brought out a notebook to write down everything Hua Kai had said. If this could lead the villagers to prosperity and make the village an outstanding one in the future, then his own official career would also have a chance to benefit from the development of the township.

Hua Kai is open about this and has shared some small business ideas with everyone, letting them decide what they can do based on their own ideas. However, she doesn't want everyone in the village to do these things, because if there's too much competition, no one will make money.

However, she was also afraid that this matter would cause disputes among the villagers, so in front of everyone, she said to the village secretary, "Uncle Zhou, you have to pay more attention to this matter. Don't let everyone rush into business. Let those with skills or experience try it first. There are risks in doing business, so we need to let everyone know that risks and rewards go hand in hand. Don't do it impulsively, or you'll easily lose money."

The village party secretary quickly nodded: "You're right, I understand that principle. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on this."

Hua Kai felt relieved after hearing the village secretary's words, and then said to everyone, "There are many ways to do business. The country supports individuals, so don't rush. Getting rich can't be done together, but everyone has a chance. Being down-to-earth is more important."

The onlookers started saying that Hua Kai had learned a lot of knowledge in school, that she was capable, and that they should send their children to school in the future. Some even started asking Hua Wanjiang and Gu Lanyan how they educated their children.

Hua Wanjiang and Gu Lanyan had never received such treatment before. Although they were a little excited, they were willing to share their experience with everyone.

At this moment, Hua Zhongzhi, along with Zheng Shuzhen and Hua Wanhe, slunk away from the crowd.

Seeing their disheveled appearance, Huakai didn't say anything, because there was no need to say anything; they would only become less and less popular.

This is also Huakai's purpose: to put all the conflicts with them on the surface. That way, if her family runs a factory and becomes successful in the future, no one will say anything if she doesn't care about her step-grandmother and second uncle. This is paving the way for her parents' future, since they have lived in this village for too many years and will not be able to completely break away in the future.

Most of the villagers cursed Zheng Shuzhen. They wouldn't say anything bad about Hua Zhongzhi, after all, Hua Zhongzhi was Hua Wanjiang's biological father. But everyone knew what the stepmother Zheng Shuzhen had done over the years. At this time, in order to make Hua Wanjiang feel better, who wouldn't curse her a few times?

Hua Chongzhi led his wife and children away from the crowd and ran home without looking back.

Reaching a willow tree, Zheng Shuzhen, unable to run any further, leaned against it, panting, "What kind of mess is this? It was clearly Hua Kai who was cursing, but in the end, she's the one who's right?"

Hua Wanhe was also puzzled: "Yes, how could this happen? Was she really being kind?"

"Kindness my foot! She deliberately made us look bad, didn't you realize?" Zheng Shuzhen belatedly realized something was wrong, because Hua Kai's tone had been provocative.

Hua Wanhe also understood a little: "That's right, I was wondering why this whole thing felt like a trap."

"That damn girl tricked me again! I'm going to find a chance to tear her mouth apart. I'm so angry!" Zheng Shuzhen became angrier the more she thought about it.

Hua Chongzhi was utterly humiliated today. He was even angrier, and with a face full of disdain, he said to Zheng Shuzhen, "You're always courting death, aren't you? Now look what you've done, the whole village is laughing at us!"

Zheng Shuzhen also felt wronged: "What are you saying? You were there at the time, didn't you know what Huakai said? Weren't you angry then? You were tricked by your own granddaughter and you still yell at me? Are you stupid?"

Hua Zhongzhi was also frustrated. How come trouble always happens as soon as he has contact with the boss?

He looked at Zheng Shuzhen and said, "Don't go looking for trouble lately. Linlin is getting married, so you can all focus on preparing for her wedding."

Speaking of this, Zheng Shuzhen felt even more uncomfortable: "Such a nice girl, is she really going to marry Wang Shengli? Why do I feel so resentful?"

"Things have come to this point, and they're both not innocent. What can we do if we don't marry him?" Hua Zhongzhi didn't know about Hua Lin and Hua Kai's affair, after all, there were some things Zheng Shuzhen couldn't tell him the truth.

Zheng Shuzhen couldn't explain much, so she could only suffer in silence: "I won't say anything, it will make me feel suffocated."

Hua Wanhe got nothing and only made a mess of things, but he still wanted to make money, so he asked Zheng Shuzhen again, "Mother, should we go into business or not?"

Zheng Shuzhen thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are plenty of people at the market. You can go to the market and learn from them. We don't need to ask them. The eldest brother looks honest, but he's actually bad. Even if we ask him, he won't teach us sincerely. He might even harm us."

Hua Wanhe nodded: "Okay, then I'll ask my friends. I don't believe it, am I not better than them?"

Zheng Shuzhen also has great confidence in her son: "That's right, my son has been smart since he was a child, and I guarantee he will be able to do great things in the future."

Hua Zhongzhi couldn't listen anymore and walked home with his hands behind his back.

Zheng Shuzhen and Hua Wanhe were in the back, dreaming about the future.

Hua Kai and his family stayed at the village committee office for another hour or so. It was almost noon when everyone gradually dispersed.

Back home, Hua Wanhe couldn't stop smiling: "I never expected to be so well-known in the village. It's all thanks to my daughter."

Hua Kai smiled and said, "Dad, you'll have plenty of opportunities to shine in the future."

Gu Lanyan also said with a smile, "Don't sit there smugly, hurry up and tidy up these things in the house, it's getting late, I have to cook."
