"Luxury meals in the county town are indeed quite expensive, at least much more expensive than in the town." Just then, Zhang Ya came out wearing a purple nightgown, her pair of bright white legs very eye-catching, and sat down next to Ye Yun.

"Do you know about a lavish meal?" Ye Yun asked.

“Of course I know. I heard my classmates mention it when I was in college in the provincial capital,” Zhang Ya said.

"They must be very expensive in the provincial capital!" Uncle San asked curiously.

“It’s expensive, over a thousand yuan a serving,” Zhang Ya said.

Hiss! Everyone gasped.

"Over a thousand? That's so expensive!"

"A single serving costs over a thousand yuan? What kind of food is this?!"

"I don't even want to think about it. We poor people should just forget about it!"

"Have you ever eaten this, Yunzi?" Uncle San asked curiously.

Ye Yun shook his head and said, "Come on, I'm dirt poor, where would I get the money to eat? But this time when we went to the county town, Brother Qiang treated the village chief to a meal, so if you want to ask the village chief anything, just ask him!"

Everyone looked at the village chief and began to ask him questions.

"Village chief, what's included in this lavish meal you're having?"

"How much is a meal? Is it expensive?"

"Since it was Sanqiang who invited you, it must be good."

Faced with everyone's questions, the village chief could only give an ambiguous explanation, awkwardly forcing a smile.

Seeing the village chief's troubled expression, Ye Yun felt very relieved.

However, at that moment, Ye Yun felt his leg being brushed. He turned his head in confusion and saw Zhang Ya calmly eating her food.

I thought it was an accident, but the other person rubbed against me again, and this time it wasn't just a quick touch, but a bold teasing.

Faced with this situation, Ye Yun could only pretend nothing had happened and calmly continue eating his food.

"I remember you went with my dad. Brother Qiang treated my dad to a big meal. Didn't he invite you?" Zhang Ya suddenly asked.

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Please."

"Is it tasty?"

"I don't have a good appetite and can't eat meat, so I had a vegetarian meal."

“Vegetarian!” Zhang Ya said with a slight smile, “They treated you to a big meal, and you’re eating vegetarian? You should have spent some money, since it’s not like you have to pay.”

"The food outside is too greasy, I don't like it. Homemade is drier, I prefer home-cooked food." Ye Yun looked at Zhang Ya, her eyes still serious.

"At home..." Zhang Ya bit her chopsticks lightly, her beautiful legs under the table already being held by the other person.

“Actually… I’m not bad at cooking!” Zhang Ya said.

"Can you cook?" Ye Yun asked, somewhat surprised. She teased, "These days, girls are very delicate; not many of them can cook."

“Hey, Yunzi, you’re talking about other people. Your sister-in-law Zhang Ya is different. She’s a really good cook,” the village chief’s wife said.

"Really? When can I try Sister Ya's cooking?" Ye Yun asked Zhang Ya.

"Anytime is fine, any other time. What do you like to eat?" Zhang Ya asked.

"I haven't had dumplings in a long time, I want to eat dumplings."

"Dumplings!" Zhang Ya bit her lip lightly, looking at Ye Yun with deep eyes, and said, "If you want to eat them, you can buy frozen ones at the supermarket!"

"No, I prefer handmade dumplings. Sister Ya, do you know how to make dumplings?"

"Yes, we even prepared a meal for her last month. Zhang Ya is incredibly fast at preparing meals; she's so nimble-handed," said the village chief's wife.

"That's right, that's right! My sister-in-law is so fast at making dumplings. I've only made one, and she's already made three!" Liang Lu said proudly.

Ye Yun's gaze fell on Zhang Ya's hands, which were slender, fair, and smooth, truly deserving the description of delicate jade hands.

"That's really impressive. But I have a big appetite, so I might have to trouble you, Sister Ya, to pack a lot."

“Okay!” Zhang Ya said with a smile.

Afterwards, the village chief and others talked with Ye Yun about the factory construction.

"What's the story about building a factory?"

"Of course, it's definitely been handed over to Third Uncle. His construction team specializes in this kind of work," Ye Yun said, looking at Third Uncle.

Uncle San grinned, but shook his head and said, "No, no, this project is too big. I can't handle it all by myself. I can't manage the building materials, the construction workers, and the management."

“Indeed, most of the men in the village have jobs, and there are probably only four or five people working on the construction site, which is far from enough. We can either call people from outside, but that would be too time-consuming and would definitely cost a lot of money.”

"Aren't there Gousheng and the others? Let's call them all," Ye Yun said.

"Gousheng?" Uncle San shook his head. "No good. That guy is good at work, but he's too fond of things. He disappears all the time and can't stand being alone."

"The key issue is that it's difficult to manage. There will be a lot of people, and managing people and preparing materials will be too much for one person to handle."

The village chief stroked his chin and said, "That's simple, just let Yunzi manage it with you."

"That's great! With Yunzi around, we'll definitely be able to keep those guys in check. Besides, Yunzi is quick-witted and will definitely be better at getting things done than me. What do you say, Yunzi? How about we work together?" Uncle San said, looking at Ye Yun.

To put it simply, it's a tacit understanding between the uncle and nephew; they both understand each other.

Ye Yun nodded. "Sure, I'm free anyway, might as well help you out. But... Village Chief, how are the factory construction costs calculated? Have you and Brother Qiang discussed it?"

Ye Yun looked at the village chief and asked this crucial question, which the others also took very seriously.

The village chief stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Well, your brother Qiang's idea is to plan things out first, make a list of labor costs, material costs, and so on, and let him take a look. If he thinks it's acceptable, then we'll give the money to Yunzi and let him handle it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions slightly, understanding the implications of who received the money. Usually, it was given to the village chief, because the village chief was familiar with Ye Sanqiang.

But now that it's not being given to the village chief, but to Ye Yun instead, it's hard not to start thinking all sorts of things.

"Give it to me? I don't know how to do this?" Ye Yun asked in confusion.

"You weren't here last night, were you? Your brother Qiang and I discussed it later." The village chief remained calm, explaining with a smile, showing no anger whatsoever over the matter.

Therefore, everyone understood that the village chief and Ye Sanqiang must have reached an agreement to promote Ye Yun.

Uncle San chuckled and said to Ye Yun, "Yunzi, your brother Qiang is intentionally grooming you. Do a good job this time, and when the factory is built, show it to your brother Qiang."

Ye Yun nodded happily, "I understand, I will definitely do my best."

Everyone's gaze towards Ye Yun changed, including Zhang Ya's. Looking at the promising Ye Yun before her, she felt no longer any emotion towards her utterly useless man. What happened to Liang Hu was irrelevant to her, both before and now.
