"What can we do if the door is closed? Will we go to jail?" Chen Jidong rubbed his temples and said impatiently.

"What will we do in the future? We may go back to Jingyang Village! We have finally become city dwellers. If we go back, people will laugh at us."

Xia Hongmei recalled how she had offended many people by showing a sense of superiority in front of those people. If she went back in disgrace again, where would she put her face?

But at this point, where else can they go if they go back to their hometown?

At least there was still a house and a house in his hometown, so Chen Wen'ge went back to the town's cane station a few months ago to find a job.

Speaking of which, father Chen Wen'ge was the most far-sighted, and he had always liked Wang Ruoqiu, saying that she was better than Qiao Zhixia. Chen Jidong would definitely regret it in the future, but he believed it.

If I had listened to my father...

As soon as the thought of regret came into Chen Jidong's mind, he immediately cut it off.

He could regret his choice, Wang Ruoqiu was his true love! Although she was a habitual liar and stupid, no one was perfect, and she had done a lot for him, so if he loved her, he should tolerate all her shortcomings.

After all, he chose to commit suicide for her in his previous life.

If he regrets it now, then what is his choice to be reborn? Is it a joke?

"Take Qiuqiu back and give birth to the child first, and then we'll make a long-term plan. As long as you're still alive, there's a chance to start over..."

Wang Ruoqiu hid in the house listening to the conversation between her mother and daughter, feeling very nervous. She married Chen Jidong to enjoy a good life, but she didn't want to stay in that poor and backward countryside and be a rural woman.

But the current situation is not good for her. She has a scar on her face and is pregnant. Which man would want her?

After much thought, I decided to wait until the baby was born before making any plans. What if Chen Jidong was able to make a comeback?

The day Xia Hongmei brought Wang Ruoqiu back to the village in disgrace was the day when Qiao Zhixia's family held a relocation banquet.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law originally planned to go back secretly, but they didn't expect that there was a main road in the village. Many villagers were walking along the way, and they saw two cars driving into the village.

"Hey~ Is this the city person from our village? What wind blew you back today?" Some village women who were used to seeing Xia Hongmei's high and mighty behavior in the past started to tease her in a sarcastic manner when they saw her.

Xia Hongmei was angry and embarrassed, but she could only explain with a stiff face: "Is my daughter-in-law pregnant? Our village has beautiful mountains, water, and air, which is suitable for nurturing a baby, so I came back to live for a while."

"Oh, so that's how it is! We thought you guys were here to drink Mr. Qiao's Qiaoqian wine."

"Qiao Qianjiu?" Xia Hongmei was stunned.

"Yes! Look at your Chen family's little Qiao. She is doing well now. Not only did she build the first new building in our village, she also built a road for our village. Even the mayor of the township came in person!"

The village woman's words were like slapping Xia Hongmei and Wang Ruqiu in the face.

Xia Hongmei glanced at Wang Ruoqiu, who had no money and no shame, and it felt like a piece of shit stuck in her throat.

"I don't know what the Chen family is thinking. They have a capable and beautiful daughter-in-law like Xiao Qiao, but they insist on finding a city girl. In the end, the girl is a fake. What are they trying to do?"

The two listened to the villagers' veiled discussions and almost fled in panic.

At this time, the Qiao family courtyard was very lively. Qiao Xinguo and his wife were rubbing their hands nervously, watching the township head and several other township leaders shake hands with Qiao Zhixia one by one.

They had never expected that the leaders of the township government would actually come to their home for dinner. Fortunately, they had cleaned up the house and yard two days in advance, and had wiped clean everything. They had also prepared some things to entertain the guests, such as tea, nuts, snacks, etc., which they would not normally be willing to buy.

Simple country people will use the best things to entertain guests, but they are always worried that the guests will be satisfied.

In addition to the township head and other officials, the people who came today also included several factory directors and grocery store managers with whom Qiao Zhixia had cooperated, as well as Deputy Mine Director Yang and his father.

These people were almost all well-known figures in their respective fields. The villagers saw several cars parked outside Qiao Zhixia's courtyard, and men in suits and leather shoes got out of the cars. They were obviously figures that they had come into contact with in their generation, but they were particularly warm and respectful to Qiao Zhixia.

"It seems that Xiao Qiao really made a lot of money!"

"Boss Qiao is really blessed. Although he has no son, he has a daughter who knows how to make money. He will enjoy a lot of happiness in the future."

"Yeah! What's the point of having a son? Those two sons of yours can make you mad to death. Only your daughter knows how to love you..."

Looking at the lively villagers, I felt a little envious and a little sad.

Before the dinner, Qiao Zhixia brought a group of government leaders and partners to visit her planting base.

Several acres of vegetable fields are full of vitality.

"What are they growing in that greenhouse?" Mayor Hao asked, pointing to the plastic shed where Matsutake mushrooms were grown.

"This is the matsutake mushroom that we are trying to cultivate artificially." Qiao Zhixia said, and simply took them closer for a tour.

Matsutake is now common, and its production is not here, so most of these well-informed people are familiar with it.

Although some people have heard of it, they have never seen it.

After about a week of cultivation, the matsutake mushrooms in the greenhouse are ready to be harvested.

Like guards in formation, large umbrella-shaped mushrooms are half-hidden and half-exposed in the stubble. Their columns are thick and plump, and their colors and shapes are very colorful, but the mysterious and unique fragrance seems to be magical, making people can't help but smell it.

Qiao Zhixia looked at the large area of ​​matsutake mushrooms growing well, as if she was seeing a lot of money.

She picked several radishes herself and prepared to add them to the dish for the leaders and villagers to taste.

The feast prepared by Qiao Zhixia was naturally rich, with braised pork elbow, halved duck, braised fish, spicy stir-fried river shrimp... every dish was a masterpiece, so filling that one's mouth watered.

"Stir-fried Matsutake mushrooms with chili peppers is here—"

But as the matsutake mushrooms were placed on the table, the aroma of the other dishes seemed to be masked, and the rich fragrance of the fried matsutake mushrooms drifted away.

The two grandchildren of Chen Dacui who were standing behind burst into tears and clamored to go to Qiao's house for the feast.

Chen Dacui swallowed the noodle soup in her bowl and cursed: "Boss Qiao is really a good person. She invited everyone in the village but only invited her. Are they looking down on her?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He just grabbed Sun and beat up the guy who was arguing so hard that he even spilled all the noodle soup...

Qiao Zhixia asked Qiao Xinguo and his wife to sit at a table with a group of leaders. The two were so nervous that they didn't know where to put them.

After diligently farming for half my life, I unexpectedly had the chance to eat at the same table with a senior leader.

At Qiao Zhixia's recommendation, Mayor Hao tried Matsutake and was impressed by its unique flavor after just one bite.

I just listened to Qiao Zhixia's introduction to Matsutake. No wonder this thing is called the "King of Fungi". It really lives up to its name.

Qiao Zhixia took this opportunity to talk to Mayor Hao at the wine table about her need to continue to contract a large amount of land. At the same time, she wanted to participate in the Autumn Canton Fair, but to become an exhibitor she had to obtain import and export rights.

This process is very cumbersome, and she will definitely come to the exhibition after she finishes it, so she hopes to get the support of the township government so that she can speed up the process after reporting...
