That evening, Feng Qingqing did not go back with her parents, but went to her second uncle's house with her second aunt, Lu Wanling.

Then, because the four children had so much fun, even Yang Xiaoxi didn't want to go home, so in the end, all four children stayed at Feng Haidong's house to sleep.

Lu Wanling slept in the big bed with her three girls, while her son was forced to sleep in his own small bed.

As for Feng Haidong?

He had no choice but to go home and sleep on a makeshift bed on the living room floor.

However, Feng Haidong was still asleep on the living room floor when his wife tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Lu Wanling lay down next to her husband and asked softly, "Are Haiwen and Lijun coming over tonight to borrow money from you?"

When his wife asked him that, Feng Haidong smiled and asked in a low voice, "How did you guess?"

Lu Wanling said, "Isn't that simple? They haven't been in touch with our family much over the years, but tonight they suddenly brought their daughter over. Moreover, the couple were in a low mood at first, but after you and Feng Haiwen talked, their mood improved significantly, and they even helped greet the guests."

There's no need to guess; everything has been laid bare.

Feng Haidong laughed and put his arm around his wife: "My wife is really smart. It's because Jiang Lijun's factory is raising funds for investment, so they came to us to borrow money."

Lu Wanling asked, "So you agreed?"

Feng Haidong nodded: "Yes, I told Haiwen that it would be best to wait until next month when our funds are back in place. He told me that the latest would be the end of September, so I told him to just wait until September."

Lu Wanling asked, "How much do they plan to borrow?"

Feng Haidong replied, "They want to borrow 5,000."

Lu Wanling was immediately startled: "What? Borrow 5000?"

Feng Haidong said, "Yes, they said they wanted to borrow 5,000, but my point is, since it's about investing in the factory, why not borrow more? Let Jiang Lijun go back and ask first."

Lu Wanling was even more surprised: "You think lending 5,000 is too little? How much are you planning to lend them?"

Feng Haidong said, "It depends on how much they ultimately need. I think by September, we should be able to spare a maximum of 20,000."

Lu Wanling almost screamed, but remembering that there were still children sleeping inside, she lowered her voice and asked, "You're not planning to lend out all 20,000 yuan, are you?"

Before her husband could reply, Lu Wanling continued, "Have you considered whether Jiang Lijun's factory's fundraising and restructuring plan will work? What if the factory ultimately fails? Will she be able to get her investment money back?"

Feng Haidong asked, "Why do you think their factory is no good? Perhaps Jiang Lijun's factory can turn things around this time?"

Lu Wanling found her husband's words unbelievable.

Why do you think Jiang Lijun's factory can succeed?

Feng Haidong was taken aback by his wife's question, and then he realized that he might have spoken too confidently.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Haidong said, "Think about it, there are so many factories in our city now, even paper mills can't get any orders, but Jiang Lijun's factory still has orders, so Jiang Lijun's factory does have a chance to continue operating."

Before his wife could speak, Feng Haidong continued, "Think about it, since Jiang Lijun's factory still has orders and can still operate, we can't just let Jiang Lijun give up her job, can we? Not everyone can run a successful business like your husband."

Hearing her husband say that, Lu Wanling couldn't help but laugh: "You're really something, talking about other people's business while also bragging about yourself."

Feng Haidong smiled and hugged his wife, saying, "I wasn't bragging; I was telling the truth."

Lu Wanling thought for a moment and said, "But isn't borrowing so much money too much?"

Feng Haidong said, "They might not borrow that much. Feng Haiwen and Jiang Lijun probably wouldn't dare to borrow that much money all at once."

Lu Wanling nodded, rested her head on her husband's shoulder, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be long before many companies start to implement shareholding reforms, and our company may follow suit."

Feng Haidong said, "That's alright. You can also raise funds and invest in the liquor market in your unit."

Lu Wanling said, "But if this happens, all the units will have to raise funds to invest. Can our family come up with that much money?"

Feng Haidong said, "You can invest in your own company; I won't invest in our factory."

Lu Wanling was surprised again: "Why don't you participate in the investment of your factory?"

Feng Haidong bluntly stated, "Our factory isn't even getting any orders right now. Do you think we'll be able to get orders if we pool our money and invest?"

Hearing her husband say that, Lu Wanling sighed helplessly.

Hearing his wife sigh, Feng Haidong comforted her, "Don't worry, I have business to do now, it doesn't matter if I don't go back to the factory."

Lu Wanling thought about it and realized it made sense; her husband's crayfish restaurant was doing very well.

Now that the advertising projects for her husband's and her brother's companies are finished, it should be easier for them to get other advertising projects in the future.

Therefore, from all aspects, the husband can be considered the most capable person in the family right now.

Thinking of this, Lu Wanling couldn't help but say, "I've noticed that your eye for business is really sharp now. You said you could spot the crayfish business when you wanted to do something, and it really did become a hit overnight."

There weren't many people eating crayfish around here before, but now it seems like if you don't have a meal of crayfish and a few bottles of ice-cold beer on a hot summer day, everyone feels like summer isn't complete.

Feng Haidong said with a smile, "That's because crayfish are now considered a relatively inexpensive street food in the summer, and they taste great with ice-cold beer in the summer."

Lu Wanling nodded: "Yes, crayfish are indeed cheaper, much cheaper than buying meat."

Feng Haidong really wanted to tell his wife that in the future, crayfish would be more expensive than meat.

Of course, those are all things to be discussed later. Feng Haidong had already prepared to send his brother-in-law to another place to learn aquaculture techniques.

Once my brother-in-law has mastered the breeding techniques and returned, he can promote them throughout the village. Then, he can guarantee a stable income just from crayfish alone.

Of course, Feng Haidong also knew that simply learning how to raise crayfish was not enough.

His next step is to build his own complete system for breeding, purchasing, and transportation.

Another crucial step is to develop several different flavored crayfish seasonings, then mass-produce them, vacuum-pack and seal them, and ship them out along with the crayfish every year when they come to market.

This is Feng Haidong's subsequent plan; he wants to become the one who controls the source.

Feng Haidong chatted with his wife for a while longer, and then his wife got up to go back to the bedroom to sleep.

Seeing this, Feng Haidong reached out and hugged his wife, saying, "Isn't it the same if you sleep here?"

Lu Wanling laughed and said, "No, if Yueyue wakes up and doesn't see me, she'll definitely make a fuss. You should get some sleep; you have to get up early tomorrow, don't you?"

As she spoke, Lu Wanling kissed her husband.

Feng Haidong had no choice but to let go of his wife. He watched her return to the bedroom and lay alone on the living room floor. He couldn't help but think: We should move to a bigger house.
