Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhao Yan understood what his cousin meant.
“Thank you, Xiaoran! Otherwise, I would have made a mistake too! Don’t worry, I won’t interfere in my brother’s matters! You’re right. Everyone has their own path. No one can interfere!”
Seeing that Zhao Yan understood, Li Xiaoran immediately smiled.
“Then what do you plan to do in the future?”
After Zhao Yan thought for a moment, he said hesitantly, “I don’t want to go out. I want to stay in the village. I wasn’t sure in the past, but now that I see that you and my cousin-in-law are back, I’m even more determined to stay here. I’ve observed carefully. The climate here in Hele Village is actually very suitable for planting mushrooms, so I want to cultivate mushrooms and fungus to sell!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t expect to hear Zhao Yan’s entire future plan just by asking casually.
This path wasn’t easy, but as long as Zhao Yan persisted, it would be very profitable in the future.
The amount of fungi in the mountains was no longer enough to satisfy people’s needs.
If these mushrooms could be eaten all year round, the sales would be very impressive.
Li Xiaoran affirmed Zhao Yan’s idea.
“Cousin, your idea is very good. If it is really executed, you will definitely earn a lot of money in the future! Actually, it’s feasible to plant mushrooms artificially, as long as you’re not afraid of hardship or fatigue!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran agreed with his idea, Zhao Yan immediately chuckled.
“I just have this thought. I haven’t implemented it yet! Actually, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. When I was young, I liked to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. At that time, I was thinking about how wonderful it would be if I could eat mushrooms every day! So I had the idea of planting mushrooms! It’s just that planting mushrooms is too difficult, so I still haven’t figured out a plan yet!”
Li Xiaoran thought about Zhao Yan’s words.
“How about this? Cousin, continue to study the environment. After the next rain, come up the mountain with me.”
Zhao Yan only thought that Li Xiaoran thought that picking mushrooms was very fun and hoped that he would bring her along next time, so he agreed to Li Xiaoran’s request.
“Don’t worry, I’ll look for you the next time I pick mushrooms. I definitely won’t forget!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and called Big Yellow and the others back.
After that, the cousins returned to their respective homes to look for their moms!
After returning, Li Xiaoran bumped into Luo Cheng in the courtyard.
“Did you go walk the dogs today?”
“Yes, I went out to have fun with Big Yellow and the others. Then, I happened to meet Cousin Zhao Yan and talked to him about something!” “Is it about Zhao Lijun?” Luo Cheng guessed it immediately.
“That’s right! My eldest cousin is probably mentally deranged. Now, he’s making a fuss about going out to adventure. I think letting him go out and sober up is a good thing. On the other hand, Zhao Yan gave me a surprise!” Li Xiaoran told him what Zhao Yan wanted to do.
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng thought about it.
“It seems that your cousin is a promising talent. Since he wants to do it, let him try! If a man doesn’t take advantage of his youth to try things, should he do it when he’s old?”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Actually, I know how to plant mushrooms!”
After Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise, he understood what she meant.
“Do you want to help him?”
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “I want to help him. After all, I like mushrooms too! Although planting mushrooms is very profitable, there’s no end to the money in this world, so there’s no need for me to keep everything in my hands. It just so happens that Zhao Yan likes planting mushrooms and he has a good personality, so I naturally want to help him!”
Luo Cheng had always supported Li Xiaoran’s decisions.
Since Li Xiaoran was willing to do it, he had no objections.
Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “If you want to help, so be it! By the way, on the way to the farmstead previously, I met Granny Jin. She asked me to give you a message. She said that she wanted you to go to her place to make snail noodles when you’re free, since she’s craving it! In addition, Granny Jin recently made a new stinky tofu herself and asked you to go over and try it!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately smiled.
“It seems that Granny Jin really has a special fondness for things with a stench! It just so happens that I haven’t gone to see her yet after I came back, so I’ll make some preparations this afternoon and go tomorrow morning! You don’t have to wait for me to come back for lunch tomorrow!”
Luo Cheng nodded and reminded her,
“You should let Shu Ruyue follow you! Now that word of my identity has spread, someone might have designs on you!” Li Xiaoran nodded when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.
Luo Cheng hit the nail on the head.
When Li Xiaoran went to Old Madam Jin’s house the next day, a few more people had come out of the Jin family’s house.
Granny Jin looked at the people in the hall angrily with a straight face.
When Old Madam Jin saw Li Xiaoran standing outside the hall, she shook her head at her. Then, her maidservant walked out and led her to the courtyard to rest.
After a while, Old Madam Jin walked over tiredly.
“Granny Jin, did something happen?”
Old Madam Jin reminded, “Something happened, but it has nothing to do with you! Xiaoran, remember, no matter who comes to you in my name in the future, you’re not allowed to agree. Otherwise, I won’t acknowledge you as my granddaughter!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.
“Granny Jin, the news that my husband is the Seventh Prince has already spread! Those people are your children and grandchildren, right?”
Old Madam Jin nodded. She didn’t want to hide things for her unfilial children.
“That’s right, it’s them! Hmph, when I wanted to acknowledge you as my granddaughter, these people refused. Now, they’re in a hurry to acknowledge you as their granddaughter. Unfortunately, it’s too late!”
Old Madam Jin snorted with a mocking smile.
“All of you are thinking of taking shortcuts instead of doing serious business. No wonder the Jin family is in such a dire state now! If not for me supporting the Jin family back then, they wouldn’t have had a good life! Unfortunately, they didn’t know how to cherish their blessings. It’s too late to regret it now!”
Li Xiaoran quickly poured a cup of tea for Old Madam Jin and placed it in front of her.
Old Madam Jin said, “That’s why! Remember my words. Don’t let them take advantage of you.. I just want them to suffer a little!”
