Chapter 204: 2.04 million What if you make money (Second update)

Pickling sour radishes, the pickled peppers Xiaofeng made last time were used up.

Radishes were sliced neither too thin nor too thick, just right to bite into.

She poured vinegar, pickled peppers, and sugar over them and let them pickle.

Just so happened the family had a few glass jars, and He Ximei filled them all for Xiaofeng, making it easy for her to take them out.

The third auntie happened to be visiting the house and seeing He Ximei working on the sour radishes, her appetite flared up, "Sour radishes are good, very appetizing."

A stimulating appetizer, perfect before a meal.

"Xiaofeng is going on a trip tomorrow, so I’m preparing some for her." He Ximei and Xiaofeng, their current relationship was good, no longer like before with He Ximei warm and Xiaofeng guarded against her like she was a thief.

"Xiaofeng, how big is your factory now?" Always hearing that Xiaofeng had started a factory, but what kind of factory it was, no one in the village knew.

"Right now there are just seven or eight workers."

"That’s decent, it’s just beginning." Seven or eight people meant their salaries must be quite a sum each month, but it was good that young people had ideas and the courage to go for it.

"Third auntie, don’t sell those radishes, keep them for me, I need them." As long as this trip went smoothly, the chili sauce’s marketability wouldn’t be a problem, and she could immediately launch a new product. She decided the second product would be a radish series.

Pickled pepper radishes and dried radishes.

Ready-to-eat series, open the bag and eat, no need for further processing.

"Sure, your family loves sour things, so I’ll get your aunt to pickle more for you." The third auntie glanced at Xiaofeng’s stomach, assuming Xiaofeng wanted her to keep the radishes for the one inside.

Xiaofeng’s mouth twitched, third auntie really had an imagination, how much could she eat alone, but for now let it be understood that way.

Sour radishes had a particularly crunchy texture, biting into them revealed a mix of sour and sweet flavors, quite delicious.

Ma Donghua saw Xiaofeng leaving the village towards Shili Village, it looked like Xiaofeng was going to see Dr. Ye, presumably to have Dr. Ye take her down.

So young, yet so much like her mother, questionable behavior.

She swayed her hips and headed towards her elder brother’s house.

While Xiaofeng was at home, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to make a fuss right in front of Xiaofeng’s face. As soon as Xiaofeng left, she had to go and find out if uncle had left any valuable antiques at home.

Upon entering the house, she immediately smelled a tangy scent and twitched her nose, "Sister-in-law, are you pickling sour radishes?"

He Ximei softly acknowledged with a hum.

"Sister-in-law, I heard people saying that the factory Xiaofeng started couldn’t have been done with less than ten thousand yuan. It looks like elder brother has been saving quite a bit over the years, so generous to Xiaofeng with a handout of ten thousand yuan. Elder brother too, with that money he could have found a wife for Pengzi. What’s the point of starting a factory for Xiaofeng? A girl, no matter how capable, can’t continue the family line. What use is that, don’t you think?"

A factory couldn’t possibly come for free.

Once she mentioned Su Peng’s marriage, it indeed hit a sore spot for He Ximei. She looked up, "From what you’re implying, do you know of a potential match for my Pengzi?"

Introduce a partner to an idiot, as if she was crazy, "There are girls alright, just depends on how much dowry you prepare for her?"

"It won’t be lower than the going rate." Pengzi getting a wife would naturally follow the local customs.

Once Donghua heard sister-in-law’s tone, she knew deep down that sister-in-law had prepared a significant dowry for Su Peng. Knowing what kind of work elder brother had been doing all these years, they were from the same village, how could she not know?

Her eyes scheming, she smiled and said, "Back in the day, Su Dada and our dad were close, sister-in-law. I heard Su Dada acquired quite a few treasures on the battlefield, and he didn’t bring a single piece for our family."

After Su Dada died, it was the country that collected his body, without any sign of treasures. There were only two possibilities, either Su Dada left his treasures with uncle, or when Su Dada died, the country collected all of his family’s treasures.

Su Dada was tall, full of vigor, but blind in one eye, said to have been shot by the enemy on the battlefield.

Indeed close to father-in-law, but as for treasures and such, she had never heard of them, "Donghua, what do you mean by this?"

Suddenly talking about this matter, certainly no good would come of it.

Of course, Donghua had to inquire well, "Sister-in-law, are you sure you’re not mistaken? I remember Su Dada left a few items for our uncle, it’s just that those treasures were never shared with our family’s Guisheng."

They must have been left, otherwise how could elder brother’s family’s circumstances have improved so much?

Talked so much just to wait for this, "I’ll tell you what, Donghua, now you’re my second uncle’s daughter-in-law. Is it useful to always ask how much money our family has? With this spare time, wouldn’t it be better to find out how much money second uncle left someone else? Always dwelling on useless things, you’re really amusing."

It’s been so many years since father-in-law died, and yet people still thought about dividing his property.

"Sister-in-law, you’re not being fair. Uncle was truly Guisheng’s father, if uncle had good things, how could Guisheng lack for anything?" Guisheng was adopted by second uncle, and that showed what? It demonstrated that Guisheng was now the son of both families, and he had inheritance rights to both families’ properties.

"Whatever was to be taken, you’ve taken it, what more do you want?" He Ximei turned and headed into the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law," Donghua followed her in, "Why would I want stuff? Those are all dead and gone. Isn’t Xiaofeng running a factory now? We’re all one family, so let’s not speak as strangers. How about our Guisheng joins the business too?"

The factory was started with the treasures left by uncle, sold for money; regardless of whether it made or lost money, having a share was never wrong.

If it lost money, she definitely wouldn’t take the blame.

What if it made money? That would mean she missed out on a chance to profit off elder brother and sister-in-law’s efforts.

So, she had thought long and hard before coming up with such an idea: regardless of making money or losing it, it was best to secure a share first.
