CHAPTER 127: CHAPTER 127: TROUBLE AT THE YUE FAMILY

Xu Nianji walked even faster upon hearing this.

Today’s earnings from selling bean sprouts were handed over to Ji Ying by Xu Nianji.

Looking at the ten yuan in her hand, Ji Ying couldn’t help but say, "Weren’t you busy these past two days? The bean sprouts still grew?"

"They did," Xu Nianji nodded, adding, "Dad, when you have time, make a few more bean sprout buckets."

"At least four."

Xu Nianhua chimed in, "That way, we’ll have bean sprouts to sell every day."

Xu Nian’an then brought up that school was about to start, and they should let Xu Nianji handle the bean sprout business, also suggesting that the young couple should live in that house.

Ji Ying explained further, "The house was rented by the siblings for selling bean sprouts. You’ve just gotten married; you shouldn’t live apart."

Seeing that Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua were of the same mind, she didn’t specifically clarify that it was the brother and sister.

Zhou He was taken aback and asked, "How did you sell bean sprouts before?"

She was actually quite confused, thinking, a day’s bean sprout sales make ten yuan?

If they sold every day, an entire month would bring in three hundred yuan, wouldn’t it?

And all this, her in-laws, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, seemed to have no intention of keeping any of it from her, which made Zhou He feel incredibly warm inside.

"Before, I just sold bean sprouts during the day and came back in the evening. It’s not far from the county," Xu Nianji explained.

Zhou He said, "Dad, Mom, let’s just go back to the family home and keep things the way they were. Nian’an and Nianhua are about to start school, and it’s perfect for them to live in the house."

What Zhou He thought was that moving in with Xu Nianji in the county, just after getting married, didn’t seem quite proper.

After discussing it as a family, they all thought that this plan wasn’t bad. Xu Nianji would be out early and back late every day, which was fine, and since the vegetable garden was newly cultivated, Ji Ying alone couldn’t handle it all. It was perfect for Zhou He to help too.

Then there was the chili sauce; it was peak harvest season for chili peppers, and there were just too many of them. Aside from drying the peppers, the rest could be turned into chili sauce, which could make two bowls of rice disappear when there was no other food to eat.

Moreover, chili sauce could be preserved for a long time.

The day to start school was getting closer and closer.

That day, Xu Nianji heard about the Yue family’s troubles. Unaware until he inquired, he was shocked to discover that the brick factory wasn’t owned by a single individual. The Yue family was just overseeing it, but who knew they had secretly sold a significant number of red bricks.

The sale was discovered by others, and it was immediately reported to another owner. This situation couldn’t stand; the other owner, along with his partners, demanded the Yue family return the profits, or they would face legal action.

But who would have guessed that the Yue family took off with the month’s earnings from the brick factory?

If it weren’t for the factory’s policy to settle accounts every month, the Yue family might have taken all the money and left.

The incident caused quite a stir, and the brick factory had been shut down for several days.

"That’s great, now we don’t have to worry about the Yue family seeking revenge," Xu Nianji delightedly shared the news with Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianhua.

Xu Nian’an too breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the Yue family would have been like a knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

With the Yue family issue resolved, they felt much more at ease.

After hearing about it, Xu Nianhua didn’t take it to heart; the Yue family was bound to fall sooner or later.

Xu Nianhua continued preparing for school, but soon her movements paused as she gathered her things.

She had a feeling that something was off.

Closing her eyes, she remembered that her second brother hadn’t been working at the brick factory for more than two months before the trouble started, which was suspiciously strange.
