Chapter 347 Your Brother Is Too Much

Although the food outside was delicious, it was not as nutritious as the vegetables grown in the space. When Ye Qian came back in the afternoon, she would stew some ginseng chicken soup. When it was almost time for Gu Jinyan to get off work, she would stir-fry some small green vegetables.

Since she started growing ginseng in her space, the frequency of eating ginseng chicken soup at home has increased a lot. Not too often, but once or twice is still enough. If she wasn't worried about the children overdoing it, she would like to eat it once a week.

After eating the vegetables grown in the space, the children's health has improved, and their skin has become white and rosy. Ningning, in particular, was already a little plump, and now she has become plump and looks like a ginseng fruit.

Ye Qian had just finished cooking the vegetables and was about to bring them out when Gu Jinyan came back. Ye Qian smiled and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." This was the good thing about their workplace: they didn't have to work overtime and could leave on time. Even if they did work overtime, they would receive a full allowance according to regulations. So Ye Qian could calculate the time Gu Jinyan would be home.

After Gu Jinyan washed his hands, Ye Qian brought out the steamed buns. The ginseng chicken soup was added with glutinous rice. Ye Qian didn't steam rice anymore because there was rice in it. It tasted very good with the buns.

After Ye Qian told Gu Jinyan about the furniture factory incident the previous night, he asked around with his local colleagues during the day. "We have a carpenter here with a few apprentices working, but they're quite a large group, around 8-10 people. I heard their craftsmanship is pretty good. If you want to make furniture, you can contact him."

"Carpenter?" Ye Qian asked.

Gu Jinyan nodded, "Yes, we have only that furniture factory here for now. We have the cabinets, tables and chairs at home made from that furniture factory. But if you just want to make tables and chairs, you can also find a carpenter. Their craftsmanship is more refined, and you should be quite satisfied. If this one doesn't work, you can find another one. There are quite a few carpenters here."

Yes, she makes tables, chairs, benches, and so on. Why would she need a furniture factory? She could just find a few skilled craftsmen. Although she needs a large quantity, she won't need it for a while, so she can use it slowly. "Tell me the address. I have an appointment with Wang Qiong and Fu Shan tomorrow, so we can go take a look together."

"Sure, it's near our home, No. X, Lane XX, XX Street." Ye Qian sounded very familiar with this address: "This address is very close to Fu Shan's house. I clearly asked her to see if she knew this person."

"Um."

"But there's no rush about this. I haven't seen that place yet. Let me take a look first. If the buildings there are old, I plan to tear them down and rebuild them. This is not too urgent." She could wait and see. However, she didn't know much about house design. If it needed to be rebuilt, she would definitely need a designer. She would have to wait and see before deciding.

…

After Ye Qian reunited with Wang Qiong and Fu Shan, they first went to take a look at the nearby plot of land. The plot in front of them was quite large. Fu Shan looked at the place in front of her and said, "This used to be a Western restaurant. My mother and I used to come here often for coffee and steak. I loved it when I was a kid, but later..."

Haha, no need to explain, everyone understands.

"This western restaurant was smashed after it closed, and has been vacant ever since. Someone took it over before and also ran a western restaurant, but it was slightly tidied up, but the business... later it was closed, and then we took the photo." Wang Qiong explained.

Ye Qian nodded after hearing Wang Qiong's words. She then walked around the restaurant. It was a waste to just build a bungalow. Adding three more floors would be enough. But the place was too big for a restaurant. Honestly, it was too expensive to eat there every day. Who could afford it? Besides, it wasn't particularly famous. Its closure was to be expected.

Ye Qian took out the land certificate Wang Qiong had given her earlier. It indicated that the land covered 370 square meters. If it weren't for the excellent location, Ye Qian would have been in a lot of trouble. After looking at the land here, she took a bus to another plot. This one was smaller, but still 300 square meters. This was previously a villa owned by a capitalist. There was a small garden outside, and the house was built in a very European style, which was quite beautiful.

Having said that, it still has to be demolished. However, we haven’t decided what to do with it yet, so let’s finish the one in the city center first.

After finding the land, the three of them found a state-owned restaurant nearby to have lunch.

Ye Qian ordered the dishes, sat down and said, "I'm moving to my own house. I want to invite you guys to come over for dinner. Are you free?"

"available."

"We're free."

"Also, I'd like to visit your house this time." Since she was already at the Fu family, she had to go. If she went to the Fu family instead of the Wang family, Ye Qian was worried that Wang Qiong would think too much, so she mentioned it.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, and everyone in our family is here, so let's do it tomorrow." The Fu family had originally planned to let Fu Shan take Ye Qian back home. Ye Qian's words came at the perfect time, as she was afraid that she would not be able to complete the task assigned by her family.

"Okay, I'll come to your house tomorrow." Ye Qian said.

"Then come to my house the day after tomorrow, Sunday," said Wang Qiong.

"Okay." Ye Qian agreed.

"By the way, Sister Qian, my brother is getting married." Fu Shan said with a gossipy look on her face.

"What?" Ye Qian couldn't believe it. The news came too suddenly. "I thought your brother planned to live out his life alone."

"We all feel the same way. Look at him. He's almost 40, and now he's thinking about getting married. Do you know who he's going to get married with?" Fu Shan winked at Ye Qian. "Do you know?"

"How could I guess that, but he should be an acquaintance." Fu Shan would not ask this if it was someone she didn't know.

"Yes, your old acquaintance."

"An old acquaintance of mine? Let me think." She had met Fu Ming in Han City, so he must be from Han City. If they were acquaintances, they could only be colleagues. Which of her colleagues were not married? Who? Who?

Ye Qian's eyes suddenly lit up and she looked at Fu Shan: "Could it be the person I'm thinking of?"

"Tell me if your guess is right."

Wang Qiong also looked at the two of them curiously and listened to the answers seriously.

"Li Manyu?" Ye Qian answered uncertainly.

Fu Shan excitedly slammed the table hard, startling the people around her, and then said excitedly: "Sister Qian, you are so smart, how come you always guess right?"

Hearing the answer she couldn't believe, Ye Qian covered her mouth in excitement. Then, thinking about it, it wasn't unbelievable. It was just that how did these two get together? Ye Qian had put so much effort into bringing them together, but they weren't together. She thought they just weren't meant to be. Who knew they'd actually gotten together after she left?

Ye Qian became increasingly angry and said to Fu Shan, "Your brother is going too far."
