Chapter 279: Chapter 279: The Two Fat Radishes Make Another Appearance

"Huh? From where did the sun rise today?"

Wang Cuihua got up early thinking that it was the fifteenth of this month, and she wanted to light incense for the God of Wealth.

But when she went to the kitchen, she found Suizi had already done it.

"Aren’t you a non-believer in such things?" Wang Cuihua was quite amazed.

"Sometimes I do believe."

Suizi put her hands together, looking worried as if she had something on her mind.

Wang Cuihua, in a good mood that day, didn’t notice Suizi’s unusual behavior.

She washed her hands cheerfully, came over to pay homage to the God of Wealth, while chatting with Suizi.

"Suizi, have you noticed that our family has been quite lucky recently?"

Wang Cuihua felt that their luck had been spectacular lately and began counting off their blessings.

"It seems that ever since the dispute with Yu Shuiniu and his wife, our family has been making heaps of money."

First, Jingting bought medicinal herbs for a low price and made over two thousand yuan, and then his book stall kept running out of stock due to high demand.

The daily necessities stall that Wang Cuihua set up at the morning market was also raking in money.

In just half a month, the entire family had earned almost four thousand yuan.

Tasting the sweetness of wealth, Wang Cuihua was full of enthusiasm and felt life was full of hope.

The speed of wealth accumulation was so fast that they hardly had time to figure out how they made the money before they found themselves on the road to prosperity.

"How long would it take for us to make this much money in the village? Suizi, you truly are a good luck charm."

"Perhaps the ancestors of the Yu family have shown their blessings." Suizi replied absentmindedly.

This smooth life began when Yu Shuiniu stealthily moved Ergou’s grave in the middle of the night.

No matter how strained the relationship, moving a brother’s grave is not something a decent person would do.

If the others in the village knew about it, it would bring shame to them.

So Yu Shuiniu had to move the grave secretly.

Not daring to reveal the shifting of Ergou’s grave suited Suizi and her husband’s purposes perfectly.

Before the father-in-law found out, Suizi and her husband didn’t want the mother-in-law to know about it either.

Yu Shuiniu and his wife were like "affectionate little angels", helping Suizi and her husband with their urgent issue, thinking and worrying about their concerns.

Just as Suizi and Jingting were wondering how to move Ergou’s grave, this couple jumped in without a second’s delay.

Apart from the blessings of the ancestors of the Yu family, Suizi could find no other reasonable explanation.

It’s likely that the ghosts from the old Yu family’s ancestral tomb, too, felt uncomfortable being buried together with a fellow who died an unnatural death.

After moving the tomb, the fortune of the family visibly improved.

Jingting and his mother’s business became prosperous, overflowing with customers.

Jiaojiao was promoted to a junior officer and was selected to participate in a city-wide writing competition, winning third place.

Even Suizi, who was on maternity leave, inexplicably received an ’Outstanding Teacher’ award.

When she received the notification, Suizi was completely dumbfounded.

She had withdrawn from the competition and left the only spot for her colleague.

The leaders in the bureau had such a deep impression of Suizi that they forced an additional spot for her.

She was at home, and rewards fell from the sky.

She felt so lucky that she would have been embarrassed if she didn’t burn incense for the God of Wealth.

Once the cup overflows, it spills. Being too lucky and earning too much money made Suizi feel uneasy.

Suizi’s uneasiness began after the dream she had last night.

In her dream, the carrot and radish were still clinging to her, calling her "mom."

These two radishes appeared during the New Year.

The two radishes were crying out that it was too hot and someone wanted to boil the radishes. Suizi woke up just in time to prevent the tragedy of a fire from burning down Yang Village.

Now, these two radishes reappeared in her dream, much chubbier than the last time she saw them.

They turned into two plump radishes.

This time, the two plump radishes clung to Suizi, asking her to tell a story. Somehow, she had a newspaper in her hand.

In her dream, she was reading the news from the newspaper, and as she read, she woke up.

After waking up, she felt warm inside.

The two radishes were really adorable.

Feeling warm for a bit, Suizi felt that something was not right.

She couldn’t remember what the newspaper in her dream had written.

Only vaguely remembering it mentioned something about capturing people who made profits from reselling.

At first, she didn’t think much of it. But the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

The dream served as a wake-up call for Suizi.

She lay in bed, eyes closed, filtering through all the people who might have been offended by her family. Finally, she drew a conclusion.

The number of people she and Jingting had offended could not be counted on two hands.

Not to mention Suizi’s biological father’s large family, let alone the envious ones from the old Yu family.

In the city, every time the couple encountered an obstacle, their response was always decisive.

No matter whether it was colleagues at school trying to trip her up, or local hoodlums who disliked Jingting, the couple never backed down.

Their accomplishments may seem glorious, but they had also offended many people.

Suizi sat up and looked at the Outstanding Employee certificate on the table.

Initially, for this certificate, a colleague who was usually friendly towards her tried to make her miscarry.

Although she was lucky enough to escape the danger, it proved how unpredictable people could be.

Jealousy could make even the most unoffending people stab you in the back. Not to mention she and Jingting had offended so many people along the way?

Even someone as unambitious as Yu Shuiniu dared to take a bite when he saw her family making money. It was even more worrying what others might be plotting.

After thinking it over, Suizi felt that this dream was very timely.

Those two adorable chubby radishes pulled her out of her obsession with making money.

These years are a somewhat unique period. Business dealings, after all, are not a wholly righteous thing.

Making small money by playing little tricks is fine, but if you expand, it is easy to get reported.

If one is not careful, they might end up taking a fall and being made an example of to deter others.

When Jingting started small, Suizi had considered this issue.

With her memories from her past life, she knew that this was not the time to show off. The five-year plan she set for her family was to stay steady and not to take risks.

But people often have a bit of a gambler’s mindset, always thinking there wouldn’t be a problem if it’s just one or two times. One after another, tasting the sweetness, it’s hard to hold back.

If nothing happens the first time, one might think about trying again, and then again until they lose track of how many times they’ve tried.

This is the mentality of a gambler, and isn’t a businessman the same?

This is human nature’s greed. Even the wise Suizi almost fell for it.

Had it not been for this dream, Suizi would still be thinking, "next time for sure."

It can’t be "next time for sure", and this time, she has to persuade Jingting and his mother.

At noon, Wang Cuihua presided over a family meeting and brought up the matter of procuring new goods during lunch.

"Tiegen will go with me to the factory in the afternoon, and we’ll hire a cart and stock up 2000 worth of goods."

"I’ve already given Sister Wang a heads up. The factory should already be informed, so we can directly collect the goods when we reach there." Jingting suggested.

Previously, when they only brought in goods worth a hundred or so, they were able to make a few thousand.

worth of goods meant a profit of over ten thousand as soon as they were resold.

"Darling, you don’t have to go with me. You seem a bit under the weather these days. Just rest at home instead."

Jingting placed a piece of meat in Suizi’s bowl.

Suizi put down her bowl, and with her head lowered said:

"I’m not going, and neither should you and mother."

While they were enthusiastically discussing, Jingting and his mother suddenly stopped and looked at Suizi.

"Why?"

"Isn’t it stupid not to make money that’s readily available?"
