Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Guilt-ridden Gu Tianfeng And the uncle, who had been working in the fields with the adults since he was twelve, was absolutely top-notch when it came to growing vegetables. However, constructing a greenhouse wasn’t so simple, the initial investment alone was at least a few thousand yuan. Gu Qiaoqiao did not quite understand how much money was ultimately needed, but she thought the money in the passbook was sufficient. So, Gu Qiaoqiao shared her idea with Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong. At first, Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong were skeptical, but once Gu Qiaoqiao laid out the reasoning and prospects in detail for them, Gu Tianfeng quickly understood. Plus, times had changed compared to a few years ago, with more and more individual businesses earning tens of thousands of yuan. ... Gu Tianfeng had been to the city for an excellent teacher awards ceremony, and he knew that most people in the city lived in apartment buildings. Without their own vegetable gardens, they would still need to eat vegetables, and with such a large population, how much vegetables did they consume every day? This was a calculation that was almost frightening to consider! Therefore, Gu Tianfeng agreed, and naturally, Lian Yuhong followed suit. Their daughter had always been decisive. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have insisted on marrying Qin Yize. With the Gu Family in so much debt, even if she wanted to help pay it off, she was willing but powerless. The only thing she could do was contribute a little to the living expenses, because the Lian Family had spent the past two years selling their autumn grain harvests to pay off debts, aside from what they needed for themselves. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Life was tight. If things turned out as their daughter said, perhaps they could pay off all the external debts this year. Then, the days for the Gu Family would start looking up. Moreover, growing vegetables was extremely simple for her younger brother. Thinking this way, it seemed as if the future suddenly brightened. But then worries followed, “Qiaoqiao, according to what you say, building a greenhouse requires plastic sheets and wood, and inside the greenhouse, we also need to buy red bricks to construct the Ground Fire Dragon… How much money will all this cost?” Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t know either. She took out Qin Yize’s passbook, “I estimate that there should definitely be enough money in here…” When Lian Yuhong saw the numbers in the passbook, she was startled at first, but then as a mother, she truly felt at ease. If a man was willing to give all the money he earned to his wife, then what was there to worry about for their future? However, Lian Yuhong felt somewhat uneasy and began tentatively, “Qiaoqiao, you should still discuss this matter with Ah Ze.” Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head firmly, “No need, he doesn’t care how I spend the money…” Although Qin Yize was currently at the research base, he had never been short on money. The old master favored him greatly, and aside from his status as the heir to the Qin Family, he owned two street-facing stores in the Imperial Capital East District, which were his own, and he could spend the rental income as he pleased. It was a different story for the children of Qin Yize’s second and third uncles. Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao remembered that Qin Yize had called home once after reaching the base and had not been heard from since. She had only just remembered this. It turned out, so-called love really had vanished like smoke and clouds. Gu Tianfeng glanced at the numbers on the passbook and subdued the sadness in his eyes, saying to Lian Yuhong, “Let’s treat it as a loan, and when we start making money, we will pay it back to Qiaoqiao with interest.” Gu Qiaoqiao did not object, for after all, it was Qin Yize’s money which should indeed be returned to him. Moreover, based on the character of the grandmother and uncle, as long as they made money, they would certainly pay her back with interest. Lian Yuhong, hearing this, said no more. She had always been most agreeable to Gu Tianfeng’s words. As night deepened, the members of the Gu Family each went to rest. The Gu Family’s house had many rooms, so each of the children had their own. The large kang in the living room was also where Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong rested at night. Lian Yuhong, who had been tired all day, was now feeling sleepy and began to doze off. Meanwhile, Gu Tianfeng still had the figures from the bankbook flashing before his eyes. His heart felt very sour. He also felt very ashamed. At over forty years old, this was the first time he had seen so much money. He would have to save for fifty years without eating or drinking to have that amount. He turned his head and looked at his wife, who seemed to have already fallen asleep. In the hazy moonlight, his wife’s profile looked peaceful and beautiful. But he knew that her eyes were wrinkled, and her hands were calloused. Her skin was no longer delicate, her features no longer youthful. In the more than twenty years she had been married to him, they had rarely had good times. She was frugal to the extreme, carefully planning to keep the family fed and warm. He thought back to when he first met her. She was only seventeen years old then, having attended school for only one year due to her family’s poverty, but because of her beautiful voice and pretty appearance, she had become the leader of the town’s cultural troupe. That day, she had brought the troupe to the school for a comforting performance, her singing voice like that of a celestial being, and her eyes so bright they seemed as if the stars from the sky had fallen into them. He had never told her that it was love at first sight for him. He had never told her about the troubles he went through to marry her. Then she bore him sons and daughters and took care of the elderly. The best food was saved for the family’s elders and children, and it was the same with clothes and other necessities. She had given too much for this family. And he couldn’t even give her a decent bankbook… Gu Tianfeng turned over, slowly stretched out his hand, lifted the blanket off his wife’s body, and gently pulled her into his arms. Resting his chin on her head and inhaling the fragrance unique to his wife, he whispered a promise to her, who was dozing off, “Xiaohong, I will surely give you a good life.” But Lian Yuhong was so tired, she couldn’t make out what her husband was saying. Following her instincts, she snuggled closer into his warm embrace and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Tianfeng tightened his grip; the softness of his wife’s body pressing against him stirred his emotions, but thinking of how tired she had been all day, he suppressed his rising desire. Barely closing his eyes, his mind continued to ponder which path he should take… The next day happened to be Sunday. Gu Zishu accompanied Gu Qiaoqiao to Lian Family Village. The grandmother and the eldest uncle had never thought about growing vegetables in greenhouses to sell, but the younger uncle’s eyes lit up immediately. He often roamed around and naturally knew more than his elder brother did. Moreover, he was acquainted with technicians in the county agriculture bureau. Gu Qiaoqiao gave them three days to consider because it was a significant matter for the Lian family, and the investment was not small—it would also require meticulous care. However, hitting the market before other vegetables ripened would definitely bring in a big profit. The prerequisite, though, was that the vegetables grew well and there were sales channels. The former the eldest uncle was confident about, as his crops and vegetables were the best in miles around. As for sales channels, Gu Qiaoqiao thought they could reach out to Li Dazhi in the provincial city. Additionally, Luo Fan had called, saying that the Luo Family owned a large hotel in the provincial city, and instructed Qiaoqiao to seek the hotel manager if anything came up because he had already been informed.
