Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Brother Yu is so Amazing
She stared in disbelief, unable to conceive that Yu Cheng would actually be seeking praise from her.
Seeing her gaze at him dumbly, clearly not as sharp as when facing Uncle Jiang, Yu Cheng gently pinched her cheeks with his fingers and asked, “Why aren’t you praising me for being awesome?”
He had long wanted to do this, and it felt even better than he had imagined.
Soft and squishy, tenderer than tofu, he dared not squeeze too hard.
“Fantastic, fantastic, you’re really fantastic!” Jiang Mianmian’s words came out a bit slurred, “Let go of me now.”
Ahhhh, this mischievous brat!
Yu Cheng, rather than pinching, now gently massaged her cheeks: “Who’s fantastic, say it clearly.”
After unsuccessfully trying to pry his hands off, Jiang Mianmian could only submit to his dominance: “Brother Yu is fantastic, Brother Yu is the most incredibly awesome in the universe!”
“Good girl.” Yu Cheng then released her, satisfied.
Once free, Jiang Mianmian glared at him fiercely, attempted to hop off him but was instead held tight by Yu Cheng: “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
Jiang Mianmian instantly widened her eyes again, silently rebuking him: So you do know that you were just playing!
But Jiang Changhai had no idea, holding the thick stack of money from selling all the sunflower seeds, his mouth so wide with joy that he couldn’t close it.
In just about ten minutes, twenty pounds of sunflower seeds were sold out, the money was too easy to make.
However, it was indeed cold standing in the chilly evening breeze, he decided not to let his precious daughter join them in selling seeds the next day.
His pampered and delicate daughter should be warming by the fire at home, tomorrow night he would let her wait at Old Man Zheng’s place for them.
“Let’s go, let’s head back home!”
Meanwhile, Sun Lixia rushed back to the Jiang Family home from her parents’ house after dinner, yelling as soon as she entered the front yard: “Mom, do you know what Eldest is doing outside?”
She had been visiting her parents today and heard an earth-shattering piece of news from them—Eldest had secretly been trading cotton without the family’s knowledge!
She knew something was off about Eldest’s family, always running around, constantly buying new things, from leather shoes to clothes.
So he had actually been engaging in speculative dealings behind everyone’s back!
Zhang Guihua, who was feeding the chickens in the yard, responded indifferently: “What can he be up to? Nothing but wandering around, idling about.”
Sun Lixia approached with a serious tone: “Eldest is outside engaging in speculative business!”
Su Wanyu, who had sharp ears inside the house, was instantly alarmed: Oh no, how did Laosan’s Wife find out?!
Upon hearing her words, Zhang Guihua was first startled out of her wits.
How could Eldest dare to do such a thing? Getting caught in speculative trade meant jail time.
Then she doubted Sun Lixia, fixing her with a skeptical eye and questioning: “Laosan’s Wife, how did you find out?”
“It was my sister-in-law’s second sister who personally saw Eldest selling cotton in their village, I’m not lying to you, you can ask anyone around to confirm if it’s true or false,” Sun Lixia stated, sounding almost ready to swear on it.
Seeing she didn’t appear to be lying, Zhang Guihua immediately felt panicked: “Old man, what are we going to do? Eldest isn’t going to be arrested and put in jail, is he?”
Jiang Dashan put down his smoking pipe and glanced warningly at Sun Lixia, who was visibly agitated: “We’ll take care of this matter, you’re not to go spreading rumors. When Eldest comes back, we will ask him.”
Sun Lixia looked at her father-in-law in shock. That was it?
Eldest had engaged in speculative trading behind the family’s back, risking their entire household, and all that was going to happen was a “we will ask”?
