"Sure, it’s rare for you, brother-in-law, to have such sincerity. My husband and I won’t bother to refuse. When you plan on how much to invest and how much the two shares will cost, just let us know, and your sister-in-law will give you the money," said Wu Yinghong in a lively tone full of agreement.
With three sons, she was considering making an effort this year before the family planning policy kicked in.
Maybe she’d fulfill her dream of having both a son and a daughter!
Yes, when the son gets married, there’ll be a bride price, and when the daughter gets married, she’ll need plenty of dowry.
Money, certainly, the more the better!
Even little Chenchen knows to earn more money to provide a thick dowry for his sisters so that they can stand tall in their future homes. How could she, as the eldest, let herself be outdone by a kid?
Currently, everything is in demand, and it can be considered a golden era where everything you do can make money.
The brother-in-law is inexperienced, seemingly new to this, but his diligence and passion lead him to be a person who sees things through. Plus, with Uncle Yang the expert watching over things, even if he wanted to lose everything, it would be difficult!
Liu Shouyi was just thinking to say, don’t be bothered now looking down at my small operation and being unwilling to get involved—time will come when you’ll regret not recognizing a gem.
But then his sister-in-law simply agreed, agreed, right?
"Good, good, sister-in-law has great foresight! Don’t worry, brother will definitely manage diligently, work hard and make big money, making you feel incredibly wise for investing in my food factory. What do you think, little sister, want to join?" After coming back to his senses, Liu Shouyi greatly praised his sister-in-law’s insight and then enticingly looked at his little sister.
His expression was exactly like the wolf grandmother luring Little Red Riding Hood.
Sparking laughter among the few, the truly seduced Shuzhen laughed so hard her cheeks felt sore: "Of course, of course, Second Brother wants to make us rich and give us wings. How could little sister deny such a good intention? But investing is investing, and it’s agreed that sister-in-law and I each take two shares. The two of us will only share in the profits, not participate in specific management!"
"That’s naturally necessary; otherwise, you’d have seven different people trying to manage things, and if there are occasional disagreements, wouldn’t it just be causing unnecessary conflicts? Making money is important, but it can’t outweigh the bond between us siblings. Our bond can withstand the test before wealth; we can’t let it be delayed by trivial matters," Liu Shouyi nodded, speaking particularly earnestly.
It was rare for his honest and straightforward younger brother, who liked to handle matters directly with his fists, to say something so emotional yet rational, making his older brother Liu Shouren feel especially gratified.
Originally planning to advise them about the risks of starting a business and needing caution in investment, he’s swallowed those words.
Just thinking it’s rare for his younger brother to have such ambition, let him go for it!
At most, it’s just spending money to gain experience.
And right now, the three siblings most likely aren’t short of money.
After dividing the assets and finalizing the investment in the food factory planned by the second brother, the six people from three families dispersed separately.
Of course, Shuzhen still took the dowry supplements from her parents and brother and sister-in-law amid their hesitant words. With Plant Ability at hand, if she sincerely wanted to hide something, even the current metal detectors wouldn’t find it.
With such a handy ability, there’s no need to spend a huge amount on locker fees to rent a safety box at the bank, right?
Put the jewelry and gold bars in a big basket, cover them with rice hulls, and top it with chicken, duck, and goose eggs—it avoids all suspicious eyes in minutes.
Who doesn’t know the Liu brothers pamper their sister the most?
Ever since she bore the third daughter, Xinqing, Lianshan feared the many children and chores at home would tire her out and firmly never allowed raising poultry again. Her brother and sister-in-law bringing some eggs home is just normal, isn’t it?
After avoiding all suspicious eyes and properly hiding the things, Shuzhen still had to talk well with her husband about how his wife transitioned from a simpleton to truly wealthy.
After all, emperor green, fire oil diamonds, and very pure red and blue sapphires aren’t things that can be obtained just by having money.
Looking at her husband’s expression full of willingness to accept, no matter the reason, Shuzhen couldn’t help but chuckle: "Where does your mind wander to? Although our ancestors were particularly wealthy, our Liu family never touches ill-gotten wealth. You know, Liu family was legitimately prestigious back then. Eighty percent of this city’s land was our ancestral properties, along with banks, pawnshops, and many other shops. To put it plainly, my ancestors were the landowners among landowners, the tycoons among tycoons. However, Liu ancestors valued virtue greatly and never oppressed villagers or exploited commoners.
During famine and distress, they would exempt some rent and offer porridge, gaining quite a good reputation in the countryside.
The Grandfather and Third Uncle were heroes, tirelessly contributing to the protection of the nation. Our dad was clever and decided early on to all visible assets against the invaders.
With backing and dad’s decisiveness, so you understand!"
At the same time, Liu Shouren and Liu Shouyi were also telling their wives about the Liu family’s past glory. However, this brothers’ narration inevitably emphasized how Shuzhen insisted on relocating the treasures buried with the two uncles’ memorials overnight, which proved prudent when disaster struck, allowing them to escape untouched.
Regarding this, the informed Su Hongying couldn’t help but feel endless gratitude to her sister-in-law.
While Wu Yinghong couldn’t help but confirm her suspicion filled with happiness: the sister-in-law with forward-thinking vision and boundless courage seemed to have indeed experienced reincarnation like her.
Yet, her butterfly effect not only changed her own destiny but also motivated her husband’s family and maternal family together. Not just Liu Family Village, but the entire town, city, province, and even nation greatly benefited from their advanced ideas and high-yield seeds.
And she, timid as she was, only changed her own destiny.
But isn’t this enough?
Pampered by her husband, filial children, harmony with sisters-in-law, and a sisterly relationship with her sister-in-law. Even those Wu family sons she dared not dream of in her past life, were made possible by her husband’s care and generosity.
Recalling when her husband emotionally said if there was another son, he’d let him take her surname, Wu Yinghong felt as sweet as having eaten honey.
Individual abilities differ, what one seeks varies too. All this now is happiness she never dared to imagine before!
