nWhen the Chu family heard the commotion in the central room, they quickly walked over…
nLi Qingyu hurriedly asked, “Xuyuan, what happened?”
nChu Xuyuan handed the torn homework to Li Qingyu. His eyes were red with anger. “Mother, Li Hongfeng tore my homework.”
nLi Qingyu’s heart ached for her son, “Hongfeng…”
nLi Hongfeng interrupted her. “Auntie, Chu Xuyuan tore it himself. It has nothing to do with me.”
nLi Qingwu chimed in, “Third Sister, children are just playing. Don’t mind them.”
nZheng Guixiang waved her hand and said, “Just write another one. It’s not good to quarrel like this, right?”
nLi Hanhai frowned tightly. “Chu Seventh, you’re a boy. Why are you arguing with a girl? You don’t behave like a man at all. Hurry up and go back to write another one. Don’t kick up a fuss!”
nSeeing that Chu Xuyuan was aggrieved, Li Qingyu talked back to her parents for the first time and said, “Father, Mother, Xuyuan just wants Hongfeng to apologize. As long as Hongfeng apologizes, this matter will be over.”
nShe could tell that her son just wanted Li Hongfeng to apologize, but Li Hongfeng refused to admit it, which intensified the conflict.
nLi Hongfeng looked up arrogantly. “It’s not my fault. Why should 1 apologize?”
nChu Xuyuan glared fiercely at Li Hongfeng, then rushed back to his room. He swore that he would definitely make Li Hongfeng leave.
nLi Qingyu was especially disappointed with her family. She sighed and continued working.
nThe other Chu family members were the same. They were very displeased with the Li family.
nChu Xuyao came to Chu Qingzhi’s room. “Fifth Sister, are you busy?”
nChu Qingzhi stopped writing and looked at Chu Xuyao with a gentle gaze. “Aren’t you reviewing the content of the teacher’s lecture today? Why are you here?”
nChu Xuyao walked up to Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “Fifth Sister, how can we let the Li family go back?”
nSuddenly, the door was pushed open without a knock.
nChu Qingzhi and Chu Xuyao turned around at the same time.
nLi Qinghu’s third daughter, Li Yuanzhi, entered. She was about the same age as Chu Qingyue and did not know what politeness was. “In the afternoon, I looked through your wardrobe and saw a few beautiful dresses inside. I want to take one. Qingzhi, your family is so rich now. You won’t mind, right?”
nChu Qingzhi looked at Li Yuanzhi with a faint smile and pretended to be puzzled. “What makes you think I wouldn’t mind?”
nLi Fengzhi did not expect Chu Qingzhi to say this. She opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but she didn’t know what to say.
nChu Qingzhi said calmly, “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
nLi Fengzhi looked at Chu Qingzhi with a deep sense of powerlessness. It was as if no matter what she said or did, Chu Qingzhi wouldn’t be affected. She stomped her feet and left angrily.
nChu Xuyao was angrier. He clenched his small fists. “Fifth Sister, look. They are all like this. It’s too annoying.”
nChu Qingzhi said, “If you want the Li family to go back, I’ll give you a hint. You can think of a way. How about that?”
nChu Xuyao was full of fighting spirit. “Fifth Sister, tell me.”
nChu Qingzhi asked, “Why did the Li family come to our house?”
nChu Xuyao said, “For money!”
n“That’s right, for money.” Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Xuyao and guided him patiently. “As long as they think that there’s no profit to be gained, they’ll leave.”
nChu Xuyao said in confusion, “Fifth Sister, our family’s business is doing so well. It doesn’t look like we don’t have money.”
nChu Qingzhi smiled faintly and said, “Xuyao, it doesn’t matter if our family is really rich or not. What’s important is to let them think that our family is poor.” Chu Xuyao was confused. “Fifth Sister, how?”
n“You’ll have to use your brain,” Chu Qingzhi reminded him. “Xuyao, let me ask you. If you want others to think that our family doesn’t have money, what can you show them…”
n“Show…” Chu Xuyao’s eyes darted around. “Fifth Sister, 1 know what to do.”
nChu Qingzhi smiled, “Tell me about it.”
nChu Xuyao’s eyes lit up. “1 can tell them that our family actually borrowed a lot of money from others.”
nChu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure. Is there anything else?”
nChu Xuyao pondered for a moment and thought of something. “I can also tell them that someone came to collect debts.”
nChu Qingzhi smiled. “Sure.”
nAfter a while, Chu Xuyao shook his head slowly. “Fifth Sister, 1 can’t think of anything else.”
n“Let me give you an idea,” Chu Qingzhi said. “You can let Father and Mother pretend to quarrel over the debt. You can write a fake IOU and deliberately leave it in a place where Eldest Uncle or Second Uncle can see. Or you can ask the villagers to gossip about how poor our family is and let the Li family hear it…”
nChu Xuyao’s eyes lit up. “Fifth Sister, your idea is better.”
nWhen this little fellow is scheming, his eyes are too bright… Chu Qingzhi thought to herself and said, “The more you experience, the more ideas you will have.”
nChu Xuyao felt enlightened. “Fifth Sister, I understand.”
nChu Qingzhi looked at Chu Xuyao as if she was looking at her little disciple. “Don’t make a move yet. We still don’t know what Father and Mother’s attitudes towards the Li family are.”
nChu Xuyao said excitedly, “Fifth Sister, 1’11 find an opportunity to ask our parents and get their approval.”
nChu Qingzhi smiled. “Be careful not to let the Li family hear you.”
nChu Xuyao’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”
nThe two of them looked like a big sly fox and a little sly fox.
nChu Qingzhi didn’t have time to care about these trivial matters for the time being. By the time she drafted the plan, the villagers also arrived at her house.
nShe came to the courtyard. “Everyone, quiet down and listen to me.”
nThe village chief was very capable. He found more than a hundred people for her.
nChu Xuede was also among them. As Chu Qingzhi’s third biggest fan, he supported Chu Qingzhi whole-heartedly. “Qingzhi, if there’s anything, just tell us. We’ll definitely do as you say.”
nThe villagers echoed, “That’s right. We’re not good at other things, but we’ll definitely have no problem with physical work.”
nChu Qingzhi smiled faintly. “I called you here to ask you to help me buy glutinous rice, green beans, and red dates.”
n“Because I want to make 200,000 rice dumplings, I need a few thousand catties of ingredients. It will be very difficult to carry them back. I’ll have to trouble you for the next few days.”
nThe villagers were shocked. 200,000 rice dumplings. After the shock, they were excited. If Chu Qingzhi’s business was good, they could also benefit from it. The better Chu Qingzhi’s business, the better their life.
nChu Xuede said loudly, “No problem. Leave everything to us.”
nChu Qingzhi handed the plan to Shen Ruyue. “You can arrange the rest.”
nShen Ruyue lowered her head and looked at the plan. She was extremely impressed. Chu Qingzhi’s plan was very detailed and precise..
