Chapter 25 Cherries
They lose their brains as soon as they see a pretty face, and they lose all judgment.
Seeing that Fu Lian was completely on Qiao Manqing's side and hadn't said a single word in her defense, Fang Wanyu felt a surge of grievances welling up inside her.
“Brother Li An, you have no idea... If you don’t care about me at all, and my parents find out that I’m being bullied, they will definitely blame you!”
Fu Li'an's parents used to adore her.
Many people in the village said that the Fu family wanted to marry her into their family as their daughter-in-law.
The reason her parents didn't want her to marry into the Fu family was...
They were also worried that if the Fu family made any mistakes in the future, they would be implicated as well.
It was because of those concerns that she deliberately distanced herself from Fu Lian.
Why is it Qiao Wanyin's turn to interrupt now?
Fu Lian glanced at her indifferently.
"My parents would be even more upset if they knew you were bullying my girlfriend like this."
These words stunned everyone present.
Qiao Wanyin's face turned pale and then flushed.
Qiao Wanyin: "..."
She wanted to argue, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't find the right words to respond.
That's so awesome!
These words exploded in Liu Piaopiao's heart, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart raced.
Oh my god!
So this is what it feels like to be protected by a popular husband!
A complex mix of emotions rose in my chest.
I felt both excited and a little heartbroken and aggrieved.
This must be what love feels like...
Liu Wangfu sensed that something was very wrong.
Originally, I just wanted to invite the village chief's son to discuss village matters, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
What troubled him even more was that even his own daughter, Liu Piaopiao, was looking at Fu Li'an with a strange expression!
The man who used to ignore her was now being stared at by her daughter several times.
Fu Li'an is indeed outstanding.
He really wanted to marry such a son-in-law.
The problem is that he is already engaged to Qiao Wanyin.
This is an undeniable fact.
Since the engagement has already been arranged, there shouldn't be any other thoughts.
"Piaopiao, go back to your room first!"
As Liu Wangfu spoke, he gestured to his daughter with his eyes to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
As a father, he naturally couldn't bear to scold his daughter too harshly.
But he was in an awkward situation; if things continued like this, things would probably only get worse.
Liu Piaopiao refused to leave, pouting and stubbornly saying, "Dad! I didn't say anything, it was Aunt Fang and Wanyin arguing."
Her heart was already in turmoil.
There are still two wicked women eyeing Fu Lian!
Of course she can't leave!
Liu Wangfu felt a little embarrassed and secretly glanced at Fu Li'an's expression, only to find that the other party remained calm and composed.
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at his wife, Fang Wanyu, who was covering her face and looking embarrassed.
The swelling on his cheek had clearly not yet subsided.
Faced with this situation, Liu Wangfu was at a loss for what to do, so he could only steel himself and turn his gaze to Qiao Wanyin, tentatively saying, "Um... Wanyin, this..."
"Uncle Liu."
Qiao Wanyin interrupted him directly.
"I heard from Li An that you plan to lead our village to develop its agricultural economy, is that right?"
She changed the subject at the right moment.
"Hmm? Oh, yes, yes!"
Liu Wangfu was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to suddenly ask this.
That was the very reason he called Fu Li'an over.
But the argument just now made him completely forget about it.
Qiao Wanyin smiled and continued, "So you haven't decided what to plant yet, right?"
Fu Lian asked casually, "Do you have any suggestions?"
He frowned, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind.
He remembered that he had never talked to Qiao Wanyin about the village's collective development plan.
How did she find out in advance, or even have her opinion?
Of course!
Qiao Wanyin said cheerfully, then took Liu Wangfu's hand and asked him to sit down.
Let's talk about it slowly together.
"Uncle Liu, our village is really too poor. We lack resources and have weak industries, so it's really not easy to develop."
Qiao Wanyin stood at the edge of the field, looking around at the surrounding fields as she spoke with a smile.
"But your vision to think of using crops to boost the village's economy is truly remarkable!"
Liu Wangfu was flattered by her praise.
He chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"Oh dear, I'm actually a little embarrassed by what you're saying. So tell me, do you have any good ideas?"
Qiao Wanyin organized her thoughts and said excitedly, "Our village is backed by green mountains and faces a river. The ecological environment is unique, and the feng shui is excellent! In my opinion, we can not only plant various fruit trees on a large scale, such as peach trees, plum trees and apple trees, but also try to plant some high-value Chinese medicinal herbs, such as Polygonatum, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Pinellia ternata, which are suitable for local growth and have a large market demand."
"Fruit trees, medicinal herbs?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Wangfu nodded slightly, a hint of approval on his face.
"Hmm... From what you're saying, that's quite detailed. That's a good idea."
At this moment, Liu Piaopiao, who was standing nearby, also got excited and interrupted the two, saying, "Dad! Actually, I wanted to bring this up with you too! I think we should just plant cherry trees! They're the easiest fruit to sell!"
"A cherry tree? What's that?"
Liu Wangfu frowned, looking at his daughter with a puzzled expression.
He had lived most of his life and had never heard of anything called "cherry".
Liu Piaopiao, however, did not hesitate at all and said excitedly, "Oh dear, Dad, why are you so slow! It's just planting fruit! I've had some in the provincial capital, and it tastes so good, both sour and sweet, with a wonderful aroma, it's super delicious!"
snort!
Fu Li'an, who had been silent to the side, suddenly snorted coldly.
Don't think that just because you say a few words in front of others you've become a big shot!
Do you dare to assert that you've ever seen cherries?
It's worth noting that real cherries only gradually became popular in the past – that is, now – and are now known as cherries.
It is one of the representatives of high-end fruits, belonging to the type that is expensive and sought after in the market.
While everyone was engrossed in the discussion, Qiao Wanyin paused for a moment when she heard the word "cherry".
cherry?
She couldn't help but turn to look at Liu Piaopiao!
Liu Piaopiao actually suggested planting cherry trees?
In this day and age, in a small rural town like this, who eats cherries?
At most, they would just go up the mountain in the spring to pick some wild fruits to satisfy their cravings.
Which normal person would be willing to spend a lot of money just to eat this stuff?
That's right, what really made cherries valuable and a hot commodity.
Oh my god!
A shocking guess flashed through Qiao Wanyin's mind...
No way...
Fu Li'an's ex-wife, Liu Piaopiao...
