"Godfather, we can do this..."
Lu Siqiao beckoned, and Cai Ming and Cheng Ze came over. She then explained her plan.
"It's good, but is it really necessary to do this for a crazy woman?" Cai Ming said with dissatisfaction.
Cheng Ze laughed and said, "I think it's great. Maybe it can even give your chili sauce some free publicity, why not?"
"Fine, then I'll play along with them," Cai Ming said indignantly.
When Lu Siqiao returned to the ward, He Yan and Luo Zixue had already become best friends who could talk about anything.
They looked at her with loving eyes, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
The next morning, Old Lady Ruan brought her two daughters-in-law to visit Luo Xiaoxue.
Ostensibly, it was a visit, but in reality, they wanted to bring up the matter of getting Shao Lihua a job at the sauce factory.
Faced with Lu Siqiao's hostile gaze, Old Lady Ruan changed her tune and began to wail and complain bitterly.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, I've been a bit cold to you sometimes, but I can't help it. You have sons and daughters now, and every parent wants the best for their children..."
"Please forgive your mother, okay?"
"When your mother comes to take care of you during your postpartum period, I promise to raise you and your grandson to be healthy and chubby."
Seeing that the old lady had disappeared, Lu Siqiao quickly said, "Grandma, I promise you, I'll let Third Aunt go to work at the soy sauce factory."
Grandma Ruan was prepared to play the victim, but unexpectedly, she relented.
"Really?" She was still a little taken aback.
Shao Lihua was also somewhat bewildered.
“Yes, once our chili sauce becomes famous, Boss Cai plans to sell it in Kyoto. I heard he intends to put it in supermarkets and noodle shops, and we can make a lot of money.” Lu Siqiao said proudly, “In less than a year, our family will become a ten-thousand-yuan household.”
A millionaire!
Grandma Ruan and Shao Lihua drooled with envy.
Shao Lihua asked impatiently, "Then, how much money will your family get?"
“We are a joint venture. Boss Cai provides the capital, and our family contributes the technology. When we make money, we will get 30%.” Lu Siqiao did not shy away from the question and answered it without hesitation, her face full of pride. “When our family makes money, we will buy a house in the city. Third Aunt, if you work hard, you can also make a lot of money.”
Normally, Shao Lihua would have readily agreed, but right now, she was provoked by Lu Siqiao's words.
That brat's already getting cocky. We haven't even made any money yet. If we did, she'd be so arrogant!
Previously, the eldest son's family was in a bad situation, and the second and third sons were known as the poorest households in the village.
Unexpectedly, after being adopted by Lu Siqiao, he suddenly rose to a position of great power and influence.
Not only was Huang Ling upset, but Shao Lihua also began to feel a growing sense of defiance.
Why should the first wife's family get all the benefits?
It's just chili sauce; what woman can't make it?
Shao Lihua's eyes lit up. If she could learn the secret recipe for chili sauce, she might be able to go it alone!
She hurriedly asked when she could start work.
Lu Siqiao could tell from her expression that she was interested.
“We can start construction once my mom is discharged from the hospital,” Lu Siqiao said readily.
With a plan in mind, Shao Lihua became much more polite to Luo Xiaoxue, even praising her for being lucky to have given birth to a son.
Luo Xiaoxue felt embarrassed.
Didn't you see Huang Ling standing to the side? It would be terrible if she heard that.
Huang Ling has remained silent since she entered, as if she were in a meditative state.
The quieter she was, the more uneasy Lu Siqiao felt.
Seeing that it was almost time, Old Mrs. Ruan left with her two daughters-in-law, completely satisfied.
Lu Siqiao saw the cloth bag that Shao Lihua had dropped and chased after her.
But then they overheard Old Mrs. Ruan talking to her two daughters-in-law in the corridor.
"Mom, I didn't know making chili sauce was so profitable. Why don't we open a shop? We're sure to make a profit." Shao Lihua made no attempt to hide her greed.
Huang Ling, with her keen insight, said, "This isn't something just anyone can do. Without sponsorship, who could possibly get it done?"
"Second sister-in-law, don't say that. As long as I learn how to make chili sauce, I won't have to worry about people coming to my door." Shao Lihua said arrogantly, "Who wants to work for others their whole life? I won't miss such a good opportunity."
Huang Ling turned away and left: "That depends on Qiao Wa being willing to teach you. Otherwise, you're destined to be a wage earner."
"Huang Ling, what are you so arrogant about? You should be the one who's suffering the most right now, right? Your own daughter went off with someone else and everything has turned around for her. They're doing better and better than you ever have. And you? Not only are you a coward, but you've also lost your uterus. Forget about having a son, you're not even a complete woman!" Shao Lihua's mouth was truly vicious as she shouted at her back.
Huang Ling was too lazy to argue with her and walked away.
Shao Lihua then asked Old Lady Ruan, "Mother, Second Brother doesn't come home all day, nor does he come back to see Huang Ling. Have they fallen out?"
"Who knew, your second brother is also pitiful. It's fine if he has no son to take care of him in his old age, but Huang Ling is so fierce, she's always arguing with him. No man can stand it," Old Mrs. Ruan complained. "Now the grocery store is about to go out of business. How are we going to survive!"
"In short, if you learn how to make chili sauce, go back and get the second wife to work with you, and I'll at least give you some subsidies."
The two talked and slowly walked away.
Lu Siqiao walked out with a cold smile on her face.
A few days later, Lu Siqiao returned to the village alone.
Lu Mingfeng and his wife rented a house near the hospital, planning to bring the baby home once his vital signs stabilized.
Lu Siqiao started school and left early and returned late.
Third Uncle is busy herding cattle, weeding and fertilizing the chili fields every day, and is often not at home.
Seeing that the Lu family made money growing chili peppers, the villagers planted chili peppers on all their dry land, except for the paddy fields where they grew rice.
