Chapter 100



The next morning, after Lu Chuanbei and others had breakfast, Zhang Bosong called them to Xu Qi's rural courtyard.

As soon as everyone arrived, Zhang Bosong led them towards the paddy fields.

Before they reached the place, He Xuebin saw from afar the rice seedlings densely piled up at the edge of the field.

Upon seeing this, He Xuebin couldn't help but gasp: "Oh my God, aren't we supposed to plant all these?"

Zhang Bosong nodded. "Yes, these are the seedlings that have been cultivated. This is also your task today."

"No, no, my lumbar disc can't bear it." He Xuebin quickly supported his waist and stepped back.

"Dabin," Xu Qi quickly stopped him, "You're not planning to run away, are you?"

"No, I really do have a herniated disc."

Lu Chuanbei clenched his fist and cracked it a few times, then heard a few crisp sounds. "It just so happens that I learned this trick from my dad. I'll help you press it a few times."

"Don't." He Xuebin quickly stood up straight: "I suddenly feel better again."

"What a shame." Lu Chuanbei said with a look of regret: "I was looking for someone to practice with."

"Practice?" He Xuebin looked at him with a look of fear: "Haven't you learned it before?"

Lu Chuanbei chuckled a few times and said, "Yes, I have learned it, but I haven't found anyone to practice with."

He Xuebin looked at him with an accusing look on his face: "Xiao Lu, how come you have become such a bad person recently?"

"I learned this from you, Brother Bin."

"I don't want you as my student."

In this way, He Xuebin's retirement due to illness ended in failure.

Under the guidance of village experts, He Xuebin and others put on waterproof clothing, each dragging a bundle of seedlings, and began to plant rice in the paddy fields.

The villagers looked at Song Tiantian and the others who were also wearing waterproof clothing and waterproof boots, and couldn't help but smile and said to them, "Tiantian, do you want to come down too?"

"Okay, okay, but we don't know how to plant rice."

"Who says you have to plant rice in paddy fields?" the villager said, bending down and picking up two stones the size of a child's fist from the paddy field. "Here, look at these."

"What is this?" Song Tiantian looked at his hand curiously.

"These are river snails. They grow naturally in paddy fields. If you like them, you can pick some and stir-fry them. They taste just as good as crayfish."

"Wow~"

"Really?"

"I want to touch it, I want to touch it."

"Plop" He Jingnian jumped into the paddy field without saying a word and started touching it.

Upon seeing this, Song Tiantian and Xu Anjia also became upset.

"I want to touch it, too. I want to touch it, too."

"Niannian, wait for me."

Just like that, Song Tiantian and a few others followed Lu Chuanbei and others, jumped into the paddy field, and started picking snails everywhere in the field.

What a big snail!

[Such a large snail must be very satisfying to eat! ]

[When I saw this, I remembered the time when I went to the fields with my childhood friends to catch snails and loaches.]

[And there are eels! They're also plentiful in the paddy fields!]

As soon as this comment appeared in the live broadcast room, Xu Qi, who was planting rice in front, screamed: "Ahhh! There's a snake here!"

On the paddy field, a winding curve quickly passed by Xu Qi.

At this moment, Lu Chuanbei was quick to catch the "snake" slithering on the water.

He Xuebin quickly stepped back, his voice trembling: "Xiao, Xiao Lu, you... you... quickly throw the snake away!"

"This isn't a snake." Lu Chuanbei excitedly pointed the thing in his hand at He Xuebinxiu and said, "This is an eel!"

As he spoke, he shook it and said, "Not bad, it weighs almost two kilograms, enough for a stir-fry."

"Gulp!" He Xuebin cleared his throat and said in disbelief, "This, is really not a water snake?"

"Of course not, look at it..."

When Lu Chuanbei was explaining science to He Xuebin, Xu Qi, who had just fallen and squatted, stepped back silently and hid aside with an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

While Lu Chuanbei and others were planting rice seedlings, catching snails and eels, Song Jiaqi was comparing several documents sent by the military region, looking for a suitable location for the factory.

But after hesitating for a long time, Song Jiaqi still couldn't decide whether to build a factory directly by herself or acquire an already established pharmaceutical factory.

Both have their advantages, so Song Jiaqi has been hesitant and has not thought about the final choice.

At this moment, Maomao ran in crying, "Godmother, godmother..."

"What's wrong?" Grandma Song hurried out of the living room and walked towards Maomao. "Maomao, are you alone? Where's your aunt?"

"Auntie is still at home. I, I ran away secretly." Maomao sobbed.

"You sneaked out?" Grandma Song said ominously, "That won't do. I'll take you back."

"No, I won't go back." Maomao shook his head quickly. "I want to find my godmother. I want to find my godmother."

"What's wrong?" Song Jiaqi, who came out of the study after hearing the sound, opened her mouth and was hugged by Maomao who rushed over.

Maomao cried and shouted to Song Jiaqi: "Godmother, please go and persuade my mother. I don't want her to sell the house, wuwu..."

"Sell the house?" Song Jiaqi looked at Maomao in surprise. "Why would your mother want to sell the house at this time?"

"Wow..." Maomao choked up and said, "I heard from Auntie that Mom was cheated and owed a lot of money, so she has to sell the house."

"Were you cheated?" Song Jiaqi asked with a bad look on her face, "What's going on?"

"No, I'll go find your mom." Song Jiaqi said, and handed the child to Grandma Song: "Mom, you take care of Maomao, I'll go find Sister Yan."

"Yes, go ahead and ask Yan Zi what's going on." Grandma Song hugged Maomao and said to Song Jiaqi.

"Don't worry, I will." Song Jiaqi said, and hurried outside.

As soon as I arrived at Sister Yan's house, I happened to see Sister Yan coming out of the house in a hurry.

As soon as she saw Song Jiaqi, Sister Yan quickly asked her, "Jiaqi, have you seen Maomao? She disappeared in the blink of an eye just now."

"Don't worry, Maomao is at my house now." Song Jiaqi said to her hurriedly.

"Why did this kid suddenly run away to you?" Sister Yan breathed a sigh of relief after saying this.

"If she doesn't come to me, I don't know if you would sell this place!" Song Jiaqi said to Sister Yan with a sinister look on her face.

Hearing this, Sister Yan's expression suddenly changed: "Don't worry about this matter, I can handle it."

"You can handle it, but do you still need to buy a house?" Song Jiaqi pulled her with a grim expression. "Also, do you know that this place has been scheduled for demolition and the signing date has been set? If you buy a house now, do you know how much you will lose?"

"I know, but I..." Sister Yan held back and didn't tell Song Jiaqi about it.

"What happened to you?" Song Jiaqi asked her worriedly, "Also, I just heard from Maomao that you were cheated and owed a lot of money. What's going on?"

"This girl, why does she tell everything to others?" Sister Yan said angrily.

"Why, my daughter can't come to me when she has problems?"

"That's not what I meant." Sister Yan's expression changed, and she sighed and said, "You know, I opened a beauty salon and it's about to open."

Song Jiaqi nodded: "I know, didn't you give me a VIP card a few days ago, so that I could have time to go to the beauty salon to experience it?"

Sister Yan smiled bitterly: "There's no need to experience it now."

"What happened?"

After Song Jiaqi's repeated questioning, Sister Yan finally told her what had happened.

It turned out that Sister Yan's partner in opening a beauty salon, who was also her good friend since college, had taken away the money she had used to buy beauty equipment.

Not only that, she used the beauty salon's official seal to borrow several billion yuan in high-interest loans, all in the name of the beauty salon.

The day before yesterday, Sister Yan went to the beauty salon to check the progress of the renovation. When she was about to bring in all the ordered equipment to be installed, she found that none of the equipment that her friend was responsible for had arrived.

When she called her friend, her phone was turned off. At that moment, the loan shark came to her house with the loan agreement and asked her to repay the money.

Because the loan was lent out in the name of the beauty salon, and it was stamped with the beauty salon's official seal and the signature of the person in charge.

Although the person in charge ran away, as the legal representative of the beauty salon, Sister Yan still has the obligation to repay the loan.

"So you agree to this?"

"What can I do if I don't agree? I can't afford to waste time." Sister Yan covered her face and said, "They block the beauty salon all day long and threaten to come to my house and cause trouble if I don't pay back the money!"

"Besides, I still have Maomao. I can't let her go through this at such a young age."

Song Jiaqi felt a pang of sadness: "You should have discussed this with me."

"I'm afraid of disturbing you. Besides, you're all busy enough right now, I don't want to delay you..."

"What are you delaying? If you don't tell me, then you're delaying me." Song Jiaqi pulled her towards home and said, "Come on, come back with me and explain everything to me from beginning to end."

"Jiaqi..."

"It's no use calling me now. I tell you, if you are still so distant, I will break up with you!" Song Jiaqi said angrily.

Sister Yan was amused by her harmless words: "Jiaqi, how come you've grown up so much and still only know how to threaten me like this?"

"Haha..." Song Jiaqi sneered, "You still have the mind to joke with me now?"

Sister Yan immediately shut up, not daring to say another word: ...
