Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1165 - 1141. Big Uncle you...

"That’s right."

Her usually quiet uncle couldn’t help but glance at Lun Chuan, expressing his agreement with this charming young man: "It’s alright if we earn a little less in a year; the family doesn’t have much savings, and we can’t afford any losses."

Zhang Chen opened his mouth for a long time before hesitantly asking Wu Lei in a low voice, "Just how much... are we talking about?"

Wu Lei was momentarily confused and turned to look at his father.

Zhang Chen instantly felt awkward.

But fortunately, his uncle didn’t mind. He just gave his clueless son a complicated look before saying, "Not even 300,000, I guess."

That was a lifetime’s savings for both the husband and wife, scrimping and saving.

Zhang Chen was left speechless.

Ahem... He wasn’t exactly a rich second-generation either, and his family wasn’t that well off, but he had an allowance of 100,000 a month. freeweɓnøvel~com

Now, thinking of how he had just encouraged them to take a risk and raise more cattle, his face blushed.

But Wu Lei remained as steady as ever: "Dad, I still think the idea I suggested before is quite reliable, why won’t you agree to it?"

His uncle sighed, "Did you finish piling the sheep dung today?"

"Finished it!" Wu Lei glanced at Zhang Chen: "My friend came over, I couldn’t just let him work with me, right? I got up early to get all the work done. I cleaned up the cow dung too, and tidied up both the sheep and cow pens, even checked on the chickens and ducks."

After saying this, he couldn’t help but praise himself: "I never thought I could be this capable."

"By the way, Dad, you still haven’t answered my question. I said if we partner with Tan Tan’s family to raise cattle, the investment would be much smaller, why don’t you agree?"

His uncle put on a pained expression.

Zhang Chen was babbling incoherently, looking at his cousin, not knowing what expression to have.

Lun Chuan was silently listening and watching from the side, thinking that they’re all cousins, no wonder Song Tan seemed closer to Wu Lei than Zhang Yanping...

Some people may not have ill intentions but are just... ahem.

Thankfully, the older generation in the family seemed to have it under control — his uncle asked with a calm face:

"You say, if Tan Tan’s family raises 90 cattle and ours raises 10, if one dies in an unlucky year... whose cow would it count as?"

"Huh?" Wu Lei was confused: "It would count as the person’s cow who owned it, right? There’s a mark on the cow."

"But what if we’re unlucky and ten die, all of them ours?"

"How is that possible! That kind of thing can’t happen unless someone isn’t feeding them well." Wu Lei laughed: "Dad, what kind of analogy is that? You’re avoiding my question... Tan Tan, you say—"

Before he could finish, his uncle wiped his face with his hand: "Well, your mom and I consulted a fortune teller, and our family isn’t suited to partnerships, we have to go it alone."

This was even more nonsensical, Wu Lei’s eyes widened: "Dad, you..."

"Bro! Bro!" Zhang Chen suddenly shouted: "Can’t you smell it! This rice noodles smell so good!"

Wu Lei instinctively sniffed: "Yeah... what are you eating? I want some of that intestine."

The two cousins discussed as they headed to the kitchen, while on this side, his uncle sighed:

"He seemed quite clever when he was young... Lingling also seems sensible, but how did he end up like this?"

"Tantan, remind your mom, Leilei is just unreliable, always thinking positively without considering any negatives. If his mind were even a bit clearer, I would just shamelessly raise cattle here."

His uncle was filled with helplessness: "But look at him now..."

Raising livestock isn’t something you can guarantee a hundred percent, especially free-range cattle and sheep, with illnesses, wrong foods, accidents... if only Wu Lei could have said something sensible when I asked!

Tan Tan has been more than thoughtful towards them, promising to pick only the best calves, teaching them the skills, and even promising high prices if raised well, along with finding good buyers...

Relatives can’t do more than that!

You can’t be too greedy for advantages.

Song Tan, too, was left speechless... even among relatives, there’s an old saying that a small help can lead to a big grudge, but her uncle understood this, which actually made her quite happy.

For now, she could only comfort, "It’s alright, Brother Leilei is just straightforward, says whatever he thinks without much filter... By the way, when is Lingling coming back?"

Speaking of which, his uncle’s face darkened more:

"Well, Lingling said she’ll be back on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month and wants to bring a friend home to play. A male. From Qing City."

He spoke in short phrases, clearly quite frustrated.

Song Tan: ...

Bringing a male friend home on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month... what is that supposed to mean? According to local customs, you can’t bring a boyfriend home for the New Year unless you’re discussing marriage, right?

Of course, that’s traditional etiquette, bringing him would mean everyone within ten miles and eight villages knows you’re about to get married...

It’s a four-hour high-speed train ride from Qing City to Yun City! Coming over during the New Year, you can’t even get a return ticket if not staying for at least a week!

And yet, uncle, you just said her brain is better than Wu Lei’s! Don’t let the siblings both be obsessed with love!

Song Tan couldn’t sit still.

Just as she was about to ask a couple more questions, she saw her Auntie angrily bringing in the rice noodles, followed by Zhang Chen and Wu Lei holding bowls of rice noodles, too timid to say anything.

Her uncle was taken aback: "What’s wrong?"

Her Auntie was bubbling with anger, the rice noodles so delicious she couldn’t even bring herself to eat:

"It’s all because of Lingling, acting foolishly, just because that guy says a few words, she wants to bring him home. I just suggested maybe bring him over for a couple of days beforehand, otherwise with the New Year, relatives coming and going won’t be convenient... But she wasn’t happy, thought I had issues with that person!"

"So what if I have issues?! What’s with the sudden arrangement? We hadn’t even heard a peep before, and now he’s suddenly spending the New Year with us... What if they break up, and people from ten miles and eight villages point out that the guy had stayed at our house... wouldn’t that be infuriating!"

Her Auntie couldn’t help but look at Song Tan, then at Lun Chuan, and said, "Tantan, you’re experienced, chat with Lingling more, tell her about this..."

Song Tan was taken aback: I’m just new to this, how am I experienced?

But her Auntie thought, Tan Tan had better education than Lingling, more skills, and was even earning money after returning home, which was amazing.

So impressive! Lingling should learn from her!

And then look at the young man by her side, oh this Lun Chuan, since Laba, Auntie felt he was a match, and boom, just two days!

Tantan only made a move, and such a handsome young man became part of the family.

Let Lingling learn from her, surely there’d be no mistake!

Nevertheless, Song Tan was racking her brains, lacking experience in advising a lovestruck girl, so she opted for a straightforward approach, directly leveling it —

"Auntie, don’t worry, it’s not a bad thing for Lingling to have a relationship, it helps her grow quickly — how about this, tell her it’s fine to come back for the New Year and play at my house."

This way, the guy wouldn’t be staying at her uncle’s house, and neighbors wouldn’t spread any gossip.

Additionally —

"Also, don’t just invite him to our place, let Lingling understand etiquette a bit, don’t just silently bring someone’s son here — take some time off and make sure to go to his place first, have a meal!"
