Lu Feng went to the bathroom but couldn't find Jiang Xiaoyan. He went out of the yard and saw Jiang Xiaoyan hiding and crying by the side wall.
Lu Feng walked over, feeling helpless. He couldn't fight against an era by himself, let alone change the mindset in rural areas. He squatted down and wiped away her tears with his hand.
"What are you doing out here? My mind went completely blank just now, and I didn't know how to answer your mother's question." Jiang Xiaoyan choked up, her eyes red.
"It's alright, we'll go back after the New Year." Lu Feng gently patted her back.
“But what she said makes sense. As your wife, you have enough assets now, and someone has to inherit them in the future. Even if you can’t have children, a daughter will belong to someone else’s family. Do you want your assets to be taken away by outsiders in the future?” Jiang Xiaoyan said with red eyes.
“You’re thinking too much, too far ahead. I used to think the same way you do. What if something happens tomorrow and I die?” Lu Feng asked.
"Pah, pah, pah!" Jiang Xiaoyan spat several times, saying, "Say such unlucky things during the New Year."
“Even if we don’t give it to Duoduo, we can use the money to set up a charity foundation, name it after me, and build schools to help the elderly and orphans. Wouldn’t that be great?” Lu Feng comforted him. “Money has a thousand uses, but it doesn’t have a thousand ways to come from.”
"You're good at comforting people. When you get older, you won't say that anymore. In your eyes, I'm just a hen that can't lay eggs... Waaah... a hen that can't lay eggs, and you'll kick me away." Jiang Xiaoyan cried even louder as she spoke.
“No, never!” Lu Feng thought for a moment and said, “There is a technology that is still under development, in vitro fertilization. In a few years, when the technology is mature, we will do it. We will take yours and mine, and then create the best environment to put them in someone else’s womb.”
Jiang Xiaoyan was still crying.
Lu Feng made all sorts of promises, even offering to transfer all the company's shares to her name, but he also told her about the risks: if he messed things up one day, she would be the one going to jail.
"I don't want to!" Jiang Xiaoyan cried until she was almost done, her eyes red, and she hugged Lu Feng's neck and said, "You're so good to me. I suddenly realized that when you hit me before, it was for my own good."
Lu Feng was filled with questions. Are all women like this?
"Hitting you is for your own good?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled. "Why?"
"I don't know either, but you're so good, you're good in every way," Jiang Xiaoyan said, hugging Lu Feng.
"Alright, alright, let's go back and eat. What would people think if they saw you two squatting in the corner, crying and hugging each other?" Lu Feng stood up, pulled her up, took out some toilet paper from his pocket, wiped his snot and tears, and said, "Don't take my mom's words to heart. We'll go back after the New Year, okay?"
Although Jiang Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, how could she not take it to heart?
The pager rang again. Lu Feng took it out and glanced at it. The message read: "I am Li Qing, General Manager of Master Kong Mainland China. Is all you can do is curse? What kind of founder are you? If you have the guts, show us what you've got in the market. If you do, shut your stinking mouth!"
"Who is it? They keep calling you. Is something wrong at the company?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked.
"I don't know who it is, but everyone says I insulted him?" Lu Feng frowned deeply. If there was only one insult, it might be a mistake, but two insults, and the person was the general manager of Master Kong. This matter is probably not simple.
Jiang Xiaoyan took it and glanced at it, then asked, "Which master is Kang Shifu?"
"Making noodles!"
Lu Feng vaguely felt that someone was trying to cause trouble for him outside, but he didn't care about that anymore. He pulled Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Let's go upstairs to eat, so that our family won't come down looking for us."
The two went upstairs and returned home. The food had already been served, and everyone politely took their seats.
Inside the office of Jiaming Food Factory, Gao Zhiwei, with a cigarette in one hand and a phone in the other, cursed, "Go to hell! Who do you think you are? President Lu said your company is good, but the person in charge on the mainland is an idiot. Even if you dressed up a monkey and put him in your position, he would be better than you!"
"That's what President Lu said. What are you yelling at me for? You want to swear? I've never backed down from swearing at anyone other than Lu Feng. Damn it, I learned a lot of this from him."
"Go to hell! Your mother was infertile, so she went to a temple to burn incense with an old monk and got pregnant with you, didn't she?"
