Chu Xuan didn't expect that her sister-in-law would discover her mother-in-law's secret.
It would be no use pretending to be stupid again.
"Sister-in-law, my opinion is that we should wait for our mother to tell us first."
Fu Qing looked anxious. "If we wait until our mother tells us, it might be too late. What if our uncle loses money in business? Wouldn't our money be gone forever?"
"Do you want to force our mother to take the money back today?"
"I'm not forcing her. I'm talking to my mom about getting the money back."
"Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about why our mother lent money to my uncle without telling anyone in the family?"
"I'm worried my family won't agree. No one would agree to lend out so much at once."
"I think there's another reason."
"What's the reason?"
"Our mother believes that uncle can succeed."
Fu Qing couldn't help but curl his lips, "Xiao Xuan, do you think your uncle can succeed?"
She is not optimistic.
Chu Xuan had memories of her previous life, so she naturally knew that her uncle Qin Chao could succeed.
When Chu Xuan thought of Qin Chao, she felt full of guilt.
In his previous life, Qin Chao and Qin Mahua had a very good relationship. Qin Mahua was traumatized by family changes and died of a heart attack. Qin Chao couldn't stand it and went crazy and was sent to a mental hospital for treatment.
"Sister-in-law, I believe in my uncle's ability. He will succeed."
Fu Qing has always trusted Chu Xuan's judgment. "Since you and our mother are both optimistic about our uncle, then I am optimistic too. I'll listen to you and wait for our mother to tell us."
After the deal was settled, Fu Qing said goodbye and left.
On the way to the secret spot for catching seafood, Fu Qing suddenly realized that Xiao Xuan was so smart that she must have known about her mother-in-law lending money to her uncle, but she just didn't point it out.
I secretly thanked myself for not rashly going to my mother-in-law, but instead consulting Xiaoxuan first.
Otherwise, I really won’t be able to get along well with my mother-in-law in the future.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Meijuan walked quickly out of Xiaoxuan's yard.
If she didn't leave quickly, she would have to continue eating seaweed rolls. She had eaten too much in the past two days and her stomach needed a good rest.
Chu Xuan and Qin Mahua looked at a large iron tray of cracked seaweed rolls with sad faces, having failed again.
They didn't even have lunch.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Is Chu Xuan at home?"
Chu Xuan recognized Dou Deyong's voice and quickly adjusted her mood, smiling, "I'm at home! Please come in!"
Qin Mahua also adjusted her mood and warmly invited Dou Deyong and his secretary in.
After Dou Deyong entered the courtyard, his eyes fell on the seaweed rolls outside the kitchen door.
"Are you developing new products?"
Chu Xuan smiled helplessly, "Yeah! A big client wants seaweed rolls, but I've never been able to make seaweed rolls that meet the standards. They either crack badly or break easily when touched."
Dou Deyong encouraged him, "Then keep working hard. If you succeed, I'll introduce clients to you."
"Then thank you first!"
As they were talking, they walked into the main room.
Chu Xuan was busy making tea, while Qin Mahua was busy preparing dried fruits and washing fruits to entertain the guests.
Dou Deyong did not stop him because he wanted to have a good talk with Chu Xuan and he definitely had to drink a few cups of tea.
The secretary was a discerning person and took the teapot from Chu Xuan. "I'll do it. You sit down and talk to our factory director first."
Seeing that Dou Deyong really had something to discuss, Chu Xuan did not refuse.
Sitting at the table face to face, "Director Dou, please tell me what you want to say!"
Director Dou took out a stack of money from his briefcase, all in ten-yuan denominations.
"This is the dividend as of December 31st of last year, a total of 498.36 yuan. The factory rounded it up to 500 yuan. Count it."
As he spoke, he handed the money to Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan took it and counted it quickly.
"It's five hundred dollars indeed. You're not coming here just to give me the dividends, are you?"
Dou Deyong's serious face put on a smile, "Of course not. This time, the dividends are secondary. The main reason I came here is to discuss new bread products with you. Can we bake some new bread while developing seaweed rolls?"
Sheng Damei informed Chu Xuan in advance.
Chu Xuan was mentally prepared.
"No problem. What flavors do customers prefer? Salty or sweet? Or spicy?"
Dou Deyong welcomes breads of all flavors. "Customers all like them. Customers across the country have different tastes. If you prepare a few different kinds, you can't go wrong."
"Okay, then we'll develop a new product for each of the three flavors and try to have it ready by the end of the month."
“That’s great!”
Dou Deyong expected to release three new products in three months, and Chu Xuan really surprised him.
After finishing the business, Dou Deyong drank a cup of tea, said goodbye and left without staying.
He and his secretary each rode a bicycle. On the way back, Dou Deyong couldn't help but sigh, "Before coming here, I was determined to pester Chu Xuan into agreeing to release a new product within three months. I was mentally prepared to spend half a day lobbying at her house, but to my surprise, she agreed right away. I really admire her."
The secretary smiled and said, "You really found a treasure for our factory!"
The current bread sales have shocked the factory leaders.
Dou Deyong and his secretary rode back while chatting.
At this moment, Qin Mahua was praising Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, you're awesome! It's a blessing for Xiaoze to marry you. It's also a blessing for our family that you can marry into our family."
Chu Xuan put 500 yuan in Qin Mahua's hand and said, "Mom, without your and Dad's strong support, Chen Ze and I wouldn't have made money so quickly. This first share of the bread dividend must be given to you and Dad!"
Qin Mahua refused to take it. "This is the result of your and Xiaoze's labor. I can't take it."
"If you don't want it, I won't bother you again to help me make new products. Take it quickly."
Qin Mahua was stubborn and had to accept it. However, she didn't plan to spend it, but to save it for Xiaoxuan's emergency needs.
They heated up the food, ate a few bites, and continued to wash the seaweed and readjust the process.
At this moment, a voice came from the village loudspeaker, "Chu Xuan, go to the village office to answer the phone..."
Chu Xuan rode his bike out.
After arriving at the village office, the phone rang shortly afterwards.
Answer the call.
"Hello……"
Tian Xiaoyun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiao Xuan, it's me. Have you chosen the jade?"
"Yes. Uncle Long needs half a month to prepare."
"Okay. Xiaoxuan, has everything been going well for you these days?"
Chu Xuan didn't want her mother to worry, so she only mentioned the good things. "It's going well. I just got a 500 yuan bonus from the bread business! Chen Ze and I even helped the village factory get a large order for grilled small yellow croaker. Mr. Gu said they've tested the samples and they're in full compliance with international standards. Mom, would you like to order some for your company?"
"Crispy small yellow croaker? I think there are relevant standards here. Let me ask around. If they meet our standards, I will definitely order a batch."
"Very good!"
"By the way, Xiaoxuan, you could consider developing canned crispy fish. People here like it."
"OK!"
The mother and daughter chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.
Chu Xuan excitedly rode back to her mother's yard, parked her bike, ran into the kitchen, and grabbed Qin Mahua's hand. "Mom, there's an opportunity to make money right now. Do you want to grab it?"
Qin Mahua was stunned for a moment, then surprised, "Tell me about it!"
