What if their over-inquisitiveness made the child overthink?
They could only swallow all their words and comfort themselves to let nature take its course.
After all, their child was growing up and becoming more independent in decision-making.
Meanwhile, after eating her fill, Yue Qingqing felt invigorated.
Given her appetite, she was certain to grow up quickly.
Soon she would definitely meet her junior brother again!
Perhaps having come to terms with this, five years flew by in a blink.
Soon, Yue Qingqing had bloomed into her teenage years, becoming a charming young girl in sixth grade.
The Yue Family’s development had been very smooth over these years.
As Yue Jiandong’s business grew, he realized that it was difficult to expand any further on his old expertise alone.
Seizing the opportunity, he spent most of his fortune to lease a prime location in the new district of Zhuancheng and built a department store there.
His decision was not without risk.
If not carefully made, he could have ended up putting all his previous earnings at stake.
Plus, with the money he owed the bank, the Yue Family might have had to sell their house and return to their former life of hardship to settle their debts.
But his family had no objections to Yue Jiandong’s decision; after all, business is inherently high risk, high return.
United, the Yue Family encouraged Yue Jiandong to go ahead without overthinking.
Fortunately, Yue Jiandong’s decision was the right one, as he caught the wind at its back.
The department store’s customer traffic brought in tremendous profits and within just a year, he had earned back his initial investment, and the subsequent earnings were significant.
Yue Jiandong transformed overnight and became one of the top entrepreneurs in Zhuancheng.
He even earned a new title—Boss Yue.
Yet Yue Jiandong remained the same simple man. When he became wealthy, he did not forget the people around him who had supported him, and everyone who worked with him also earned a fortune and were fiercely loyal.
Those who started with him, like Chai Pengfu, Yu Guo’an, and Lin Xiaohong, had also built enviable fortunes.
They were all capable figures in their own right.
Regretting his past actions, Yu Guoqiang, who had formerly exploited his positioning, felt remorseful after getting out of prison. After several failed pleas, he even hid a knife and went to Zhuancheng, meaning to coerce Lin Xiaohong into remarrying him.
But Lin Xiaohong was prepared, and when Yu Guoqiang’s attempt to appeal as a victim failed and he was about to turn violent, the security guards restrained him.
Unable to escape due to his impairment, he was quickly arrested by the police.
He had no choice but to return to prison and endure the tears of incarceration once again.
Aside from the main branch of the Yue Family, others also found their own opportunities.
Under her brother’s advice, Yue Xiaofang also established her own brand—Sang.
One day, Yue Xiaofang heard her niece reading a classic poem named "Mang" from the Book of Songs.
It was spoken from a woman’s perspective, detailing the fluctuations of emotions in relationships.
Two particular lines "Before the mulberry leaves fall, they are lush and waxy" and "Once the mulberry leaves have fallen, they turn yellow and perish" made Yue Xiaofang especially reflective.
She immediately decided on Sang, the name she had pondered for days, for her brand.
In many people’s eyes, a woman’s youth is just like mulberry leaves: vibrant and lush when not yet fallen, but once they drop, they turn dry, yellow, and are left to sway with the breeze.
Yet Yue Xiaofang believed that mulberry could nourish silkworms, and from there, beautiful silks could be woven—why wait for gentle rains and soft winds to feel pity?
Women do not need to rely on men.
Leaning on the mountain may cause it to collapse; it’s better to find one’s own way, to truly stand tall in this world.
Over the years, Yue Xiaofang had recruited quite a few talents from textile factories through Liu Pingxiu. Most of them were like Liu Pingxiu, highly skilled but undervalued by their husbands and in-laws for various reasons.
Yue Xiaofang’s emergence seemed to set an example.
It showed everyone that there is nothing shameful about a woman getting a divorce; one can still live a dignified life independently!
This way, the brand Sang grew larger and gradually encroached on the surrounding markets.
Only when other factories took notice did they realize that this unassuming brand had actually seized half of Zhuancheng’s women’s apparel market.
It was truly astonishing.
