Chapter 174 Opening
Lin Chunyi was speechless, feeling an urge to strangle Yan Sui the moment she opened her mouth.
“Feng Mei does not agree with my divorce from her father, and she is still angry with me. I think I will not be able to rely on her in the future.”
If this applies to one's own daughter, how much more so to one's son-in-law?
Yan Sui countered, "So you broke off your relationship with her?"
Lin Chunyi choked up and said awkwardly, "She is my own daughter, how can I sever ties with her?"
Yan Sui shrugged. "That's what I think too, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to refuse to cooperate with Ms. Lin."
However, Lin Chunyi did not believe that Feng Mei would be a reason to hinder their cooperation.
"Yan Sui, I don't understand."
"It seems that Ms. Lin has gotten used to enjoying life at home and always thinks that the world revolves around her."
Lin Chunyi took a deep breath. "I think you're prejudiced against me."
Yan Sui suddenly laughed and frankly admitted, "Of course I have a prejudice against you. There isn't a single person in your Feng family that I find pleasing to the eye."
It's said that children are the least sick in the family, so what kind of parents could raise Feng Mei to be like this?
Lin Chunyi suddenly felt a headache coming on. Yan Sui's words were not only unpleasant, but she was also completely unresponsive to reason.
She unexpectedly learned that Yan Sui was Tong Ling's biological daughter, and specially invited her to come along.
Thinking that Yan Sui might give her some face out of consideration for her biological mother.
But Tong Ling doesn't seem to be of much use.
Tong Ling noticed Lin Chunyi's gaze and felt embarrassed and frustrated.
Unfortunately, Mu Qing's words had a significant impact on her, and no matter how bad Yan Sui's attitude was, she couldn't bring herself to rebuke her anymore.
"Chunyi, maybe we should just forget about it."
Lin Chunyi stared in disbelief, “Didn’t you tell me…”
"If Yan Sui doesn't want to, there's no need to force her," Tong Ling said calmly.
Lin Chunyi looked at Yan Sui with resentment in her eyes.
"You have such a big farm, don't you need a sales channel? Self-production and self-sales will bring greater profits."
Yan Sui said lazily, "If I want to, I don't need to cooperate with you to produce and sell my own products."
At this point, Lin Chunyi knew that the discussion was over.
She held her breath and asked in a tense voice, "What if I don't look for a partner, but just want to cooperate with your farm on my own?"
Yan Sui shrugged, "No way."
Even though Lin Chunyi divorced Feng Liqun, she still had a connection with the Feng family through Feng Mei.
She hated every member of the Feng family equally.
Lin Chunyi left with a sullen face after failing to gain any advantage.
Tong Ling watched her storm off and was about to follow when she turned back and glanced at Yan Sui.
She couldn't help but say, "I know you don't like me, but there are some things I need to say..."
"If you know I don't like you, can you at least stay away from me? Mrs. Mu, have I been too lenient with you, making you think you have the right to come in front of me and act like an elder to lecture me? Forgive my bluntness, but I don't think your life experience is of any reference value."
Tong Ling's face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You think my life is a failure? I'm just a woman from the bottom of society. Do you know how much effort I've put in to get to where I am today? What gives you the right to say that about me!"
Yan Sui frowned. What was all this about?
She pinched the bridge of her nose. "The path you and I are on has never been the same. I only speak and act according to my own feelings. Your high society theories don't suit me."
Tong Ling's heart trembled slightly, "I'm only doing this for your own good, I know you hate me..."
“I don’t hate you.” Yan Sui interrupted her. “I was adopted by the Yan family, my parents are alive, and I live a comfortable life. If someone like me is still complaining about fate, then 90% of the ordinary people in our country wouldn’t be able to survive.”
Looking at her lost and dejected expression, Yan Sui suddenly felt a headache coming on.
"You have a husband and daughter, and your life is happy and fulfilling. Why come here to make yourself unhappy? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
Tong Ling stared at her blankly. "Didn't you ever have even the slightest expectation for me? I'm your mother! Without me, didn't you ever feel any regret?"
Yan Sui: "I think it happened when I was a child, but not to you, but to Ms. Zou."
After all, before Yan Mo appeared, she never knew that she was not the biological daughter of the Yan family.
"But no one's life is perfect; regrets are the norm. Isn't it better to accept the status quo?"
Tong Ling felt empty inside. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but it felt like something was missing that could never be filled.
She now clearly realized that it was she who wanted to get closer to Yan Sui.
Yan Sui, on the other hand, is long past the age where she needs her mother.
Tong Ling nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Tian Xiangjuan watched her leave dejectedly, then turned to look at Yan Sui. Seeing her calmly scrolling through her phone, she knew that Yan Sui was completely unaffected.
"Shall we start pruning the lotus flowers tomorrow? Auntie, why don't you go and help?"
Now that it's summer vacation, she's bored out of her mind all day.
With Aunt Ruan around, they have enough manpower, so Yan Sui doesn't need any.
“Auntie, you can try it if you want, but if you think it's too hard, then forget it. Anyway, there aren't many people who want lotus flowers right now.”
"Not many? These lotus flowers are so beautiful, yet no one is buying them?"
Yan Sui shrugged. "After all, my reputation hasn't spread yet, and the price isn't cheap. They don't know how good my lotus flowers are yet."
She was confident that once the first batch of lotus flowers was sold, word of mouth would spread, and people would eventually buy them.
Tian Xiangjuan was somewhat worried, as Yan Sui had spent a lot of money on this lotus pond.
Now, in order to destroy the habitat of those wild animals, Yan Sui does not plan to dig lotus roots.
The main source of income for Hetang comes from fresh-cut flowers, as well as lotus seeds and lotus leaf tea processed in the village.
If the flowers don't sell, this lotus pond will definitely suffer a loss.
"Why don't you take a batch of lotus flowers to town to sell? Maybe you can sell quite a few."
Yan Sui was taken aback. "Okay, I'll give Tian Tian a wholesale price of 12 yuan, and give Auntie 10 yuan."
This earned her a reproachful glare from Tian Xiangjuan. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm helping you sell them, so of course all the money is yours."
Moreover, she doesn't know how to package her products, so she can't sell her skills like Tian Tian does.
Yan Sui didn't argue with her; she let Tian Xiangjuan sell it first.
The next day, the first flower shop in Changqing Village opened.
Sweetie knew that her flower shop was just a small-scale operation, and it was uncertain whether she could make money.
In addition, although she is from Changqing Village, she did not grow up here and is not very familiar with the villagers.
She originally planned to set off some firecrackers to celebrate, but unexpectedly, people started coming over to congratulate her early in the morning.
In the blink of an eye, her little flower shop was packed with people, and there wasn't enough room to sit down.
"I thought I was early enough, but I didn't expect you guys to be here even earlier than me." Yan Sui looked at the people in the flower shop, and they were all chatting.
Chen Aihua smiled and waved to her, "Opening a business is a big deal, and Tian Tian's family doesn't have any elders to help out. She's too young to understand, so we have to lend a hand."
They didn't come empty-handed; they brought wealth-bringing God of Wealth figurines, fruit gift boxes, and their own cross-stitch embroidery—a dazzling array of items.
"Yan Sui, why did you come empty-handed?"
Sweetie quickly said, "Sister Yan Sui has already helped me a lot, there's no need to give me anything."
Yan Sui laughed, "I ordered six flower baskets, and they've arrived just in time."
She specially commissioned a florist to make it and placed it at the entrance, which gave the opening a festive feel.
Just as the flower basket was placed, the florist said, "Ms. Yan, our boss asked me to tell you that we no longer need the 300 lotus flowers you ordered."
