Chapter 137 Live Another Five Hundred Years
After finishing this matter, Lin Ye hesitated and raised another question.
"Second Brother Lu... is he getting engaged soon?"
"He doesn't even have a female fly around him, who is he going to marry?"
Even his beloved Congcong is male!
After Lu Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at Lin Ye's expression.
"Why do you say that? What did you hear?"
Lin Ye quickly shook his head.
"Just tell me what's on your mind, why are you hiding it from me too?"
"No, I..."
Lin Ye lowered his head. "I saw Brother Lu in town, walking around with a girl."
He even bought the girl a hair tie.
? ? ? ?
"Really?" Lu Qingqing asked in surprise.
I've never heard that kid mention it.
It's unbelievable that he went from avoiding girls to buying them hair accessories?
"I……"
Lin Ye thought maybe she had misread it.
She really wished she had seen wrong.
But she saw it clearly.
She followed along for quite a while!
That girl... had a round face and big eyes; she was very cute.
No matter how hard Lin Ye tried to hide it, she couldn't conceal the disappointment in her eyes.
Lu Qingqing suddenly realized that her sister-in-law was right.
They should have tied Xiao Ge and Lin Ye together from the beginning.
Good things should be taken and kept for yourself first.
She was convinced that the marriage of convenience would blossom into love, and she refused to believe that the intelligent and beautiful Lin Ye couldn't attract her second brother.
"I'll ask him when he gets back," was all Lu Qingqing could say.
"Okay. I'll be going now."
"Lin Ye, are you sure you don't want to sign a contract with anyone?" Lu Qingqing asked again.
"If I don't sign, not only will I not be able to learn skills from others, but I might also be fired."
"I know, I've thought about all of that." Lin Ye smiled, revealing her teeth.
"Anyway, I won't starve to death. Even if I lose my job, I can still embroider handkerchiefs to sell for money. You're right, once I sign the contract, I'll really lose my freedom."
Lu Qingqing said she liked Lin Ye!
The Wan family has been operating in the town for decades, and many people feel that signing a contract with them is an honor and a blessing.
He's secured a stable job.
Because many of them have lived their entire lives in this small area and have never seen the outside world.
Mistaking a blade of grass for a large tree.
As the old saying goes, wealth doesn't last three generations.
The fact that the Wan family split up, Master Wan had ulterior motives, and the family members began to drift apart shows that the Wan family was no longer stable.
Lin Ye grew up in the village and, because of her face, had even less experience than others, yet she was able to give up the opportunities that were presented to her without hesitation.
Lu Qingqing believed that Lin Ye would definitely go far.
After Lin Ye left, Lu Qingqing went to talk to Feng Xiaowan.
Ask her if she felt that Lu Yun had been acting strangely lately.
"Yes, I've been keeping an eye on him for the past two days, and this kid definitely has something going on!"
Feng Xiaowan wanted to observe further before telling Lu Qingqing, but unexpectedly Lin Ye delivered the message.
"Now that you mention it, he's lovesick! No wonder he's always grinning like an idiot!"
He was strolling around town with someone; could the girl be from town?
Lu Yun was either at home preparing medicine or going to the city to deliver medicine and pick up any missing medicinal herbs. When he went to the town, he only delivered seasonings to Lu Feng's shop a few times.
You can't meet many people in such a short time, can you?
Feng Xiaowan scratched her head, knowing she could only wait for Lu Yun to return before asking him.
"Qingqing, Qingqing—"
Chen Cuihua shouted as she ran in from the doorway.
"Qingqing, I've made the deal! I've closed the deal!"
Chen Cuihua spent three days running around, visiting more than twenty restaurants and ten grain and oil shops, and today she finally closed her first deal.
After trying it at a small restaurant, I had to order thirty packets of seasoning.
Although it wasn't much, it gave Chen Cuihua a lot of motivation.
Despite her fierce temper, she becomes timid and hesitant when discussing business in a shop, even stuttering when she speaks.
However, she can now describe spices in detail without choking.
"Aunt Cuihua is indeed a natural at business!" Feng Xiaowan praised.
"Auntie, if you work hard, I'll work hard too, and let's expand our business to the city!"
"Mmm!"
Chen Cuihua's successful deal not only thrilled her, but also ignited Feng Xiaowan's ambitions.
The two chatted excitedly for a while before realizing that Lu Qingqing hadn't said anything.
Their hearts skipped a beat.
"Qingqing, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"No, I was thinking... if Aunt Cuihua continues to sell, my sister-in-law won't be able to manage it all by herself, so she'll need to hire someone."
"When the time comes, let's just build a workshop and have everyone work there; that way it'll be easier to manage."
Build a workshop?
That's truly doing something big!
Chen Cuihua and Feng Xiaowan felt as if a bright road had appeared before them.
An immense power surged from his body.
Just a few days ago, Chen Cuihua felt that she had wasted half her life and didn't know how many more days she had left to live.
Now she wants to live another five hundred years!
Once a person has a dream, what's the difference between that and taking a super tonic?
Chen Cuihua walked with her back straight, like a rooster.
Although she still lived in a thatched hut, from now on she no longer felt like that smelly old peasant woman covered in mud, who never washed her face and dealt with pigs all day.
She straightened her back, smoothed her hair, and tidied the new clothes she had just bought for the business negotiation.
He cursed, "You bastards, we should have thrown those vampires out long ago! This is the kind of life a human being should live!"
No sooner had I finished cursing than I heard a voice behind me saying "vampire."
"mother--"
"Milk--"
All that could be seen were Lu Changshun and Lu Changfa's wives, Sun and Peng, standing behind them with their two grandsons and two granddaughters, looking like starving ghosts.
“Mother, do you know? Changshun fell off the kang in the middle of the night and is paralyzed! I really have no other choice. If you don’t go back, we mothers and children won’t be able to live.” Peng cried.
“Look at your beloved grandson and granddaughter, how thin they have become.”
"Grandma, I'm hungry..." the grandson cried.
He was so dirty that he looked like he had crawled out of a rat's nest.
"Who is your mother? I have nothing to do with you! Who is your grandmother? Go find whoever takes your surname!" Chen Cuihua said calmly.
He even cursed, "What bad luck!"
Don't let it affect her business luck.
I'll pluck some mugwort later to ward off evil spirits.
Sun and Peng were stunned.
He was unmoved even when he heard that his son was paralyzed, and he didn't care that his grandson was starving.
Is Chen Cuihua really so heartless?
"Mother!" Madam Sun pulled the child down to kneel.
"Mom, go back now. We won't scold you anymore. We know we were wrong. Mom, we can't do without you."
"No, what am I? Just an outsider. We can't do without your kind father-in-law!"
Sun and Peng exchanged a glance and hurriedly said, "Mother, if you don't want to see Father-in-law, then we'll kick him out!"
It was because of him that Mother suffered so many injustices over the years. Mother must hate him too, right?
If Mother isn't satisfied, we can secretly sell him!
Chen Cuihua wanted to laugh.
So, it turns out men can be sold too.
“You two, saying this in front of the children, be careful they might sell you out later!” Chen Cuihua said calmly.
"Get out of here, all of you. I can support my whole family on my own, why can't you?"
"If you have time, go mow the lawn, dig the ground for someone, and really let your lazy bones bask in the sun!"
