After getting into the driver's seat, she exclaimed in surprise into the phone, "Huh? Uncle is going to spend a lot of money to invest in planting trees?... Sister Chunyue, I don't really understand, you can talk to Chuyang about it."

"What's wrong?" Chu Yang asked.

"They said my uncle is going to spend a lot of money to buy land and plant trees, but I don't understand any of it." Xiaoli handed over her phone.

Chu Yang took the hand and held it to his ear, asking, "Sister Chunyue, what happened?"

"...To get rich, plant trees first?...Okay, I understand. Just don't give him any money. I'm coming over now."

After hanging up the phone, he stepped on the gas and drove out of the school gate, heading straight for the bustling county.

"Chu Yang, what is investing in planting trees?" Little Pear asked curiously.

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "It should be some kind of investment project, but it doesn't seem reliable. Let's go and find out more in person."

Then he asked, "What does your uncle do for a living?"

“He used to be a middle school teacher. Later, my dad recommended him to Fanhua No. 1 Middle School, which is the high school I attended. Now he is the head of the school’s teaching department,” Xiaoli said.

"And what about your aunt?"

“My aunt doesn’t seem to work. I remember she often plays mahjong. Once she lost a lot of money, and my dad had to help pay it off.”

"Does Sister Chunyue have any brothers or sisters?"

“I have a younger brother who just graduated from university a year ago and still can’t find a job.”

"……I see."

Chu Yang also gained a general understanding of Lou Chunyue's family situation.

Through Shen Nansheng's connections, her father became the director of a key high school.

My mother is a gambler and often loses money.

My younger brother couldn't find a job after graduation and just lazed around aimlessly.

Lou Chunyue achieved some success thanks to Shen Nansheng's support and her outstanding professional skills.

It's estimated that she'll be the main breadwinner for this family.

And now she is facing a predicament that she may not be able to resolve.

Investing in planting trees? That's quite interesting.
