Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside
Chapter 120, did you see that girl?

Chapter 120: 120, did you see that girl?

Xiaofeng understood He Ximei’s worries; their family had been so poor that they couldn’t even afford to repair their house, so it was natural for her aunt to be concerned about the sudden decision to start a factory when they finally had a little money.

She was worried about whether they would make money or lose money, and who would manage it.

"Auntie, what do you think of our family’s chili sauce?" After spending the past few days together, Xiaofeng had discovered that He Xifeng’s greatest strength was her diligence.

Whether it was at home or outside, as long as there was money to be made, she would work very hard to earn it.

"Of course, there’s no denying that, and not just that, the flavor really is quite good. I’ve eaten chili sauce for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve found one that tastes so good." What can I say, it works for cooking, and even if you don’t use it for cooking, it’s great just with rice.

"Since it’s a good product, we should sell it to more people and let more people know how good it is, right? With just a few of us working with our hands, we can make a hundred bottles a day, at most three thousand bottles a month. Plus, at the beginning, local people might try it for novelty, but as time goes on, inevitably, they might get tired of it. Only by expanding the market outward can more people learn about and taste it."

How many people are in a county, in a city, and across the whole country? In the future, the development of specialty products will happen very quickly, so we must get ahead of the national trend and sell our specialty products.

He Ximei couldn’t think that far ahead; she had lived in the countryside her whole life, and the farthest she’d ever been was the city, where she took Pengzi to see a doctor a few years ago.

But aside from being diligent, she also had a knack for quickly grasping new ideas: "Xiaofeng, you’ve read more books and know about these things. I know you also want to accomplish something. Auntie has learned a lot from doing business in the city recently. Just tell me what you want to do, and I’ll follow you and help."

If their family had more money, she could take Pengzi to a big hospital in the Imperial Capital for a check-up, and maybe he could even be cured.

"Auntie." Right now, Xiaofeng wasn’t lacking anything except for money. If He Ximei was willing to invest, she wouldn’t need to look elsewhere for funds.

If He Ximei wasn’t willing to put up the money, Xiaofeng thought maybe she could ask Ye Cheng to lend some: "I’ve been thinking, we could split the factory shares evenly. You provide the money, and I’ll take care of getting the factory up and running. If you think it’s viable, you can invest. If you feel it’s too risky, I’ll figure out another way."

Although she didn’t need to split things so clearly with her father, within the factory, whoever holds more shares has more of a say.

The factory hasn’t even started yet, and she certainly intended to lead. Without the shares, that would be impossible. Besides, she now couldn’t be sure whether He Ximei’s thoughts truly aligned with hers.

So, even within the family, it was critical to make clear distinctions. If they didn’t clarify things now, it would be much harder to do so once the factory grew bigger.

When He Ximei heard Xiaofeng’s words, at first, it seemed a bit uncomfortable, but after a reflection, she thought it was appropriate.

Xiaofeng would have her own children in the future, and it was necessary to secure a share for them. Considering this, He Ximei admired Xiaofeng even more. The girl had changed so much since she became pregnant. If He Ximei wasn’t seeing her every day and certain Xiaofeng was still Xiaofeng, she might have thought Xiaofeng had been switched with someone else.

"The money I have on me was originally retrieved by you from Boss Huang. Now that it’s needed, of course, I have to take it out." He Ximei was not ungrateful: "From now on, Auntie will work hard with you. Whether we earn or lose money, I’ll accept it."

They were already poor at home, starting from scratch, so what else was there to fear? Even if it was just for Pengzi, she needed to give it her all. If the factory really gets going, and they have a house in the city, finding a wife for Pengzi wouldn’t be an issue at all.

"Auntie, knowing you think this way, I feel relieved." Xiaofeng smiled as she listened to He Ximei.

The three of them had just returned home when they saw Luo Yuzhu waiting at the door, looking unhappy at their jovial return.

Xiaofeng, this ungrateful girl, showed her own mother hardly any kindness, yet she was all smiles and laughter with He Ximei.

"Xiaofeng." Luo Yuzhu straightened her clothes and approached: "Where have you been? I’ve been waiting here for half a day for you."

He Ximei glanced at Luo Yuzhu and, taking Pengzi with her, said they were going for a walk nearby to get familiar with the surroundings.

Luo Yuzhu gave a cold snort through her nose, pleased that He Ximei had the tact to not interfere with their mother-daughter talk.

Xiaofeng opened the courtyard gate: "Is something the matter?"

"Look at you, why be so distant with your mother? When you lived in Lihua Village, even if I wanted to visit you, I didn’t have the time. Now that you’re living in the city, too, not far from where I live, it’s much easier for me to come to see you." Luo Yuzhu surveyed the small courtyard and had to admit it was quite nice. It was a bit worse than the Lin Family’s place but far better than typical houses.

"And then?" It couldn’t be just as simple as coming to see her.

"Xiaofeng." Luo Yuzhu sat down on the sofa: "Uncle Lin said he would like you to come over for dinner tonight; he sent me to pick you up. You know how busy Jianguo is, but the fact that he thought of you, his daughter, means he still cares about you. Have a good chat with Uncle Lin tonight."

If Lin Jianguo could accept Xiaofeng and let her temporarily move back home, that would, of course, be good.

After all, they were both her flesh and blood.

Xiaofeng lowered her gaze slightly and did not refuse, "Okay, I understand."

Since she was the biological mother, Luo Yuzhu would treat her with sincerity in the future, and it was not impossible for her to accept Luo Yuzhu.

Ultimately, what the original host desired most was to return to Luo Yuzhu’s side and live the life of a Young Lady under her care.

Hearing Xiaofeng did not refuse, Luo Yuzhu was very happy, "Come, let’s go home now. I’ll cook a few more dishes tonight."

Xiaofeng said she wanted to wait for He Ximei to return so she could inform her before leaving, and Luo Yuzhu followed her wishes, heading home first to get things ready.

Once home, she started making phone calls and the sound of girlish laughter could be heard from time to time; she seemed to be in a good mood.

Lin Yue listened to her mother’s phone calls, her face turning an ashen hue.

Her mother was inviting some country bumpkin over for dinner tonight. Did her mother have any idea what she was doing? Last time, that bumpkin made her and Dong Tianhao lose face, but she still dared to come over.

"Sister," Lin Yue knocked on Lin Jing’s room, "Tonight, my mom is inviting Su Xiaofeng over for dinner. You think my mom hates me, right? Why else would she invite her over?"

If her mother didn’t want her, why bother inviting her back? Really now.

Lin Jing certainly understood why the family invited Su Xiaofeng to come over for dinner, "It’s just a meal. Look at you getting all petty. She’s your sister after all."

"She’s not my sister. In my heart, I am my only sister." Lin Yue and Lin Jing had grown up together. In Lin Yue’s heart, Lin Jing was her true sister, whereas Su Xiaofeng was just a little girl from the countryside.

"Tianhao will be coming tonight too." She had just informed Tianhao. Last time, Su Xiaofeng caused such a loss of face for Tianhao and herself; they had to regain their standing at this scene.

"Brother Tianhao is also coming," Lin Yue heard this and felt a bit shy, but she didn’t want to show her feelings in front of Lin Jing.

"Yes, so tonight’s dinner should be quite lively," Lin Jing said with a light smile.

She had to make Su Xiaofeng understand that they were people from two different worlds.

Hearing that Dong Tianhao was coming, Lin Yue hurried back to her room to change clothes. Luo Yuzhu knocked and entered, "Yueyue, your sister is coming over tonight, and your dad is someone who places great importance on the bond between sisters, so you understand what to do tonight, right?"

Lin Yue, spoiled by her mother, was a bit willful, and before Xiaofeng’s arrival, it was necessary to admonish Lin Yue a little.

Lin Yue was in the midst of changing clothes and took out a sky-blue dress with a pretty bow at the waist, "Mom, what do you think of this one?"

Luo Yuzhu glanced at it; her daughter was at the age where she was like a fresh spring onion—anything would look good on her, young and fresh, "It looks good, did you hear what I told you?"

"I heard you," Lin Yue pouted, "Why did you even invite her over? Didn’t you no longer want to acknowledge her? Have you changed your mind now?"

Luo Yuzhu couldn’t be bothered to explain to Lin Yue, "Did you say you saw her with a good-looking man the other time?"

Could it be possible that she had really found a boyfriend?

"Anyway, I don’t like her; she has no right to be my sister." Lin Yue was about to take the dress into her room to change, "How should I know, just ask her yourself tonight if you want to be clear."

Su Xiaofeng also changed into a new outfit before heading out.

Tie Dan and a few troublemakers gathered together, watching the figure of Su Xiaofeng and exhaled smoke rings, "See that chick?"

"Tie Dan," one of the hooligans said with a sinister smile, "You’re not falling for that girl, are you?"

Tie Dan gave them a derisive look, "Your standards are too low. Don’t you guys boast about not having a girl you can’t win over? If you’re so capable, you try it."

The girl in front, she had scared him pretty badly the last time. That time, he and Zhang Qiang were somewhat stunned and didn’t quite catch how she had made her move.
