Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 309 - 305 Low-Quality Sugar (First Update)

Ye Cheng had been back for four days, and on the morning of the fifth day, Ye Cheng had to return to the Imperial Capital due to some business. Xiaofeng was already very grateful that Ye Cheng could come back to save her elder brother, and she had no expectations of him staying in Xijiang County any longer.

However, Ye Cheng didn’t see it that way. As Xiaofeng’s belly grew bigger and bigger, his concern for her increased, and he decided to come back about every half a month.

Though it was a bit of a hassle, the thought of seeing his wife every two weeks filled him with joy.

Ye Cheng left, but Xiaofeng did not go to see him off.

She only saw him to the yard gate, watching him disappear at the mouth of the alley, waving to him.

She did not ask how Ye Cheng got there.

Nor did she ask how Ye Cheng was going to return now.

She asked what she should, and did not wish to ask what she should not.

Mei Sanying saw Xiaofeng busy in the kitchen early in the morning, with no sign of Ye Cheng around, she knew that Ye Cheng had gone back to his place of treating patients: "Has Ye Cheng returned to his hometown?"

"Yes, he still has a few patients in his care, and he cannot be away for too long."

"Being a doctor really isn’t easy; one has to endure what others cannot," Mei Sanying sighed in her heart, "Ye Cheng is a sincere child; you should be more understanding of him."

"Big Sister, it’s only been a few days, and you are already standing up for him. You were the one who stood up for me before." She didn’t know who had worried that Ye Cheng, after marrying her, would leave and not come back.

"Girl, Big Sister can read faces. One look at Ye Cheng’s face and I knew he couldn’t be wrong." Mei Sanying genuinely liked Ye Cheng. The boy was capable, caring, and would empathize with his wife.

"Big Sister, it’s said that men are the best actors; you better not be fooled by him." Xiaofeng smiled as she added glass noodles to the pot.

"You child, don’t think of Ye Cheng as such a bad person." He Ximei came out of her room and found it strange not to see Ye Cheng: "Ye Cheng, he... has left."

Ye Cheng was leaving, but she didn’t get a word in advance, or she would have prepared some food for him to take on the road.

"Since he’s taken on the job of treating people, he certainly can’t delay. Are Dad and Big Brother up yet, can we have breakfast now?"

"Xiaofeng," Su Peng felt his injury was no problem at all while at the dining table: "After I’ve recovered, I want to go drive the truck with Tie Bao."

Tie Bao was now in charge of the company’s freight.

"Okay," Xiaofeng nodded, "Next month, Xianghe will be out, and once he is, you and Xianghe can take charge of one truck together." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

He Ximei was taken aback: "The factory currently has only one truck, and by that, you mean we’re going to buy another one."

"Yes, our factory is getting bigger and bigger, and one truck for deliveries will definitely not be enough. We’ll definitely need to buy another one." Xiaofeng decided she would call Gao Fangzhou and his classmate in the next few days to ask about the progress on their cash register system.

If the cash register system made progress, then the conversion of the city market to a supermarket would need to proceed in the following months, and it should be finished before the end of the year.

"I think it’s feasible," Su Peng had no objections: "There are many things about the factory I don’t understand, but I can learn, and I won’t let my sister down."

He was already in his twenties now; returning to school was not feasible, so the most practical thing was to work earnestly and learn some skills to support his family in the future.

"Your wound has just healed; why not rest at home a bit more before going back to work?" He Ximei would rather have her son rest at home for a few more days than go to work.

"Mom, I’ve already wasted more than twenty years of my life, and I don’t want to waste any more." Su Peng felt that his injuries weren’t a big deal: "I feel completely fine now, and all I need to do is to keep it dry."

Once Su Peng made up his mind, He Ximei had no more to say.

"That’s settled then, let the child make his own plans. You don’t need to fuss over it. All we have to do is to dry the radishes well at home and keep up with the factory’s production pace." Now that Su Peng had recovered, he would definitely have his own ideas.

Whatever the child wanted to do, he could. As long as the home was there, whatever time they returned, there would be food to eat.

...

"Fatty, I heard your Pengzi got into a car accident, is he okay?" After spending a few days in the county, He Ximei returned home and ran into many villagers at the entrance to the village.

A few days earlier, when Su Peng had disappeared while working in the fields, the villagers had helped look for him. Later, they heard that Su Peng had been taken to the city and had been in a car accident.

Guaizi and his wife hadn’t been home for a few days and were unaware of the situation in the city, so naturally, everyone was concerned when He Ximei returned.

When it came to Pengzi, He Ximei beamed with joy, especially since Pengzi’s mind had recovered. She had bought peanut candy to celebrate, "My Pengzi is a blessed individual. Although he was in a car accident, Xiaofeng called Ye Cheng back, and guess what, my Pengzi’s brain is healed. From now on, if anyone dares call my Pengzi a fool again, I won’t let it go".

"Really? His brain really got better?" The villagers were somewhat skeptical, as they had never heard of anyone with brain damage from a fever being cured before.

In past years, when medical standards weren’t good, there were many cases of brain damage from fevers, but no known cures.

"Would I lie to you guys?" He Ximei’s smile nearly split her face, "It’s all thanks to Ye Cheng, our son-in-law is very capable. Come, come, everyone, have some candy. My Pengzi is cured, and I’m so happy, I’m treating everyone to candy."

If she could, she would have set up two tables, but she thought better of it.

"Really?" Some villagers crowded around He Ximei upon hearing this, "Didn’t Dr. Ye say he was going back to his hometown? He’s back now. I have a nephew from my mother’s side with some brain issues; could we ask Dr. Ye to help look at him too?

"I have a distant relative whose son also has some brain problems; could we ask Dr. Ye to have a look? They’re quite wealthy and certainly won’t mind the cost if Dr. Ye can really cure him."

He Ximei felt a sense of superiority hearing everyone’s requests for Ye Cheng — why? Because Ye Cheng was now her son-in-law.

But she had no say over Ye Cheng’s matters, even Xiaofeng couldn’t control him, "Have some candy. Let me be honest with you all, my Pengzi was in a car accident, and he suffered a serious brain injury. It might have something to do with his recovery. Also, Ye Cheng still has several patients in his hometown. After treating Pengzi, he went back again. As for when he will return, I have no idea. Here, everyone, have some candy."

While talking, Liu An and his wife entered the village, beaming from ear to ear.

Liu An was riding a brand new bicycle, Su Xiaotao was dressed in a pretty new skirt, and she was carrying two boxes of snacks.

"Xiaotao is back." The Liu couple is getting more and more respectable every time they visit; they bring something that gives a different impression to others.

Last time the young couple visited, they only bought a new dress for Hu Xiulan. Today, they arrived on a new bicycle, and not only that, Xiaotao looked even prettier. And those boxes in their hands? Only wealthy people would buy such snacks; ordinary folks would not dare to indulge in such luxuries.

These snacks were few in number and outrageously expensive.

To put it in plain terms, it’s all about the fancy packaging.

"Is everyone here?" Su Xiaotao raised her head, her beautiful wavy hair reflecting golden sunlight, seeing He Ximei distributing candy, she smiled and said, "Auntie, something good must have happened to your family. What is it? Let me hear it too."

He Ximei handed a handful of candies to her, "My Pengzi’s brain is better. I’m happy, so I bought some candy for everyone."

Xiaotao took the candies from He Ximei’s hand, glanced at them, and threw them on the ground with a look of disdain, "What kind of candy did you buy? You can tell it’s not good quality. What if eating this spoils your teeth?"

"Su Xiaotao, what do you mean?" He Ximei’s expression darkened at the other’s action.

"Bad is bad, and it can’t compare to the snacks I bought." Su Xiaotao had been making good money lately and Liu An had to be polite with her, "And to think your family runs a factory but buys such low-quality sweets, making us all seem like beggars, indeed."

"If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it," He Ximei picked up the candy from the ground, "Some people really think they’re covered in gold just because they have a few bucks."

"Actually, I am covered in gold." Su Xiaotao’s business had been good; on a good day, she could earn a couple of hundred, "Just watch, I will have a better life than all of you in the future."

Initially, everyone laughed at her for marrying a ruffian, and they had a lot to say about it.

Now, they all had to reevaluate her, watch how Su Xiaotao got rich, and lived a life higher than the rest.

"Xiaotao, you now have a respectable job. Why bother arguing with her?" Hu Xiulan’s eyes almost curved to the heavens, smiling at Liu An and his wife’s arrival.

Don’t think Su Xiaofeng is the only capable one in the village, her daughter Xiaotao is also talented. Judging by her current state, Xiaotao’s capability seems even greater, dramatically transformed in a few days. Continuing like this, it won’t be long before she can afford a car, a house, and move into a city apartment and become a person who consumes commercial grain.
