Chapter 432: Hands-off
"Are you planning to give the wild mushroom business to the Three Cowboys?"
“I have this idea.”
Lu Yunchen answered while busying himself: "San Niu Niu has many problems, but he is really good at doing business. He can judge the situation and know his position. He knows what to do and what not to do, and whether it can be done. Instead of giving this business to others, it is better to give it to him. At least by cooperating with him, we know each other better."
"I just feel like he's not telling the truth..."
The three cowboys said a lot, but there were many places where it was not difficult to hear contradictions and inconsistencies. Of course, the other party would not tell them everything without covering up. At least in the matter of the Jiang family, he lied.
"Well, I'll ask someone to check it out and make sure everything is clear."
"As long as you are prepared."
Seeing that he had already responded, Huang Xinran felt relieved.
"Speaking of which, is there any news about Lu Yunqian recently?"
After Lu Yunqian divorced San Niu Niu, she left her hometown and there has been no news of her since then. Lu Yunchen also tried to find her in order to comfort his mother. Of course, in the end, nothing came of it and there was no news for a long time.
In fact, Lu Yunchen did meet Lu Yunqian later.
He ran into Lu Yunqian by chance while on a business trip. She was dressed up in a flashy way, not looking like a proper woman at all. The cheap perfume, heavy powder, and bright lipstick all made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Yunqian obviously didn't expect to run into Lu Yunchen. At first, she couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't connect the successful Lu Yunchen in front of her with the fourth brother in her memory.
The same is true for Lu Yunchen.
Fortunately, after the initial shock, Lu Yunqian grabbed her bag in fear and ran away, as if there was a ghost chasing her.
However, Lu Yunchen did not chase after him.
It was his secretary who saw that he looked uneasy and immediately sent someone to investigate Lu Yunqian. After Lu Yunchen finished his work and had some free time, he took the initiative to report his findings to him.
But he was stopped by Lu Yunchen.
For him, there was no need for him to approach such a sister who didn't love herself. He could just let her do whatever she wanted.
"Who knows where she went. Let her do whatever she wants. She is already a grown-up and should be responsible for her own actions."
You have to walk your own path.
Huang Xinran raised her head and glanced at him, then quietly buried her head in studying the sketch he had drawn. The reason she mentioned it was actually because of Zhuangzhuang.
It is really pitiful to see a child without the love of his mother since childhood.
"In the afternoon, San Niangniang talked to me about Zhuangzhuang's future. He wanted Zhuangzhuang to live in the capital and study with Yaya Maomao."
"Ah? This is what Cowboy Three meant? He is...what do you think he thinks?"
Yaya and Maomao are about to graduate from primary school. Even if Zhuangzhuang goes to the capital to study, he will not be able to stay with them for long. Moreover, the age difference between them is even greater than that between Huangqin and Yaya and Maomao. Can they play together?
"Zhuangzhuang has no playmates in his hometown, and Sanniu always travels around the country, so it's really inconvenient for the child to stay in his hometown to study. Sanniu's idea is to buy a house near your courtyard house and let Zhuangzhuang live in it. It's close and convenient for the children to move around."
Lu Yunchen glanced at Huang Xinran and said, "Of course, this is what the three cowboys meant."
"What he meant was..."
Huang Xinran suddenly realized: "He is thinking of being a hands-off manager and letting us take care of Zhuangzhuang?"
"That's about right. Anyway, he said that when he has free time, he will come over to accompany Zhuangzhuang."
"Oh!"
Huang Xinran was amused by him: "What do you think about this?"
"I asked him why he didn't send Zhuangzhuang to my mom's place. He would be more receptive to his grandmother taking care of him. But he told me that he trusted me and you more."
If Zhuangzhuang was placed with Zhang Wenbi, it would be reasonable for his grandmother to take care of his grandson to study. But Lu Yunchen is his fourth uncle, and Huang Xinran is his fourth aunt. Living in his house, let alone their attitude, I am afraid that the child himself will not be used to it——
Even if he bought a house nearby according to San Niu Niu's suggestion, the child still found it hard to get rid of the feeling of being dependent on others. After all, San Niu Niu's implicit meaning was to let Zhuang Zhuang and Ya Ya Maomao go in and out together. Naturally, the one who went in and out more often was here.
Has he never considered this?
"I have heard a little about this. It seems that San Niangniang's two brothers are selfish and always unconsciously favor the child who is self-conscious. When Zhuangzhuang was in his hometown, he was often scolded by his two uncles who are self-conscious, and San Niangniang saw him twice. So, he didn't plan to let Zhuangzhuang stay in the country any longer."
The third cowboy and his two brothers had a particularly good relationship in their early years.
Even though he and his two brothers later ran their own businesses, they still supported and helped each other.
But after all, they each started their own families. In addition, the business of the three cowboys was growing bigger and bigger, while his two brothers stuck to the city rules and kept their business in the small area of the countryside. Although they made money, the gap between them and the three cowboys became larger and larger as time went by.
As the gap widens, the distance between our hearts grows, and our feelings naturally fade.
In addition, San Niu Niu's marriage had problems, so he left Zhuang Zhuang to be raised by his parents. However, San Niu Niu was away from home all year round, so the parents naturally lived with the eldest and second oldest. For Zhuang Zhuang, the parents naturally received a lot of cold stares.
As a result, the children also suffered a lot.
This is also the origin of the strong, cowardly and timid character.
Fortunately, the three cowboys discovered the child's fault in time, and took advantage of today to confess his thoughts to Lu Yunchen.
"Since he's not afraid, I don't mind it either. But there's one thing. If he wants to buy a house, let him try to buy one near a courtyard house. He's made a lot of money over the years, so he shouldn't be short of money to buy a house."
"Do you have a suitable house? If so, keep it on his radar."
"Okay, I'll ask the neighbors later to see if any of their houses are for sale."
In fact, San Niu Niu had bought a house in the capital a long time ago, but Huang Xinran didn't know exactly where it was. Anyway, it was not far from the courtyard house where she lived now.
After the two of them agreed, they focused on the work at hand. When Huang Xinran felt sleepy, she went to rest, while Lu Yunqian worked until late at night.
The next morning, when Huang Xinran woke up, it was already bright outside. Lu Yunchen didn't know when he went to bed last night, and he hadn't woken up yet. The three cowboys had gone out early, and according to the people in the village, they followed the guide into the mountains.
Thinking that Lu Yunchen needed to catch up on his sleep, Huang Xinran simply called the children over and asked them to "look after" Lu Yunchen, but in fact it was just an excuse to leave the children behind. He then brought a few people who were relatively good at finding wild mushrooms and also went into the forest.
The rest stayed to protect Lu Yunchen and the children.
This time, Huang Xinran took the attitude of picking up any mushrooms she thought were delicious. After climbing two hills, as expected, she met up with the three cowboys at the foot of the mountain.
The three cowboys didn't collect many wild mushrooms, so they only covered the bottom of their backpacks with a thin layer of mushrooms. But he got along well with the guides, and they were so harmonious that if someone didn't know the inside story, they would think they were good brothers.
After Huang Xinran met him, both sides chatted with each other for a while before deciding to return.
Anyway, she gained a lot from this trip, so Huang Xinran didn't care.
