Seeing that Nianyang and Jiang Aiguo settled the Jiang Family’s future development plan in just a few sentences, Sun Li and Jiang Tian were too stunned to think.
Especially Jiang Tian, who looked at Nianyang with eyes that, in modern terms, were like a fangirl looking at her idol, just wanting to lift her up.
"Yangyang, we’ve grown up together all these years, and how come I never knew you had a knack for business?"
In Jiang Tian’s mind, she could no longer recall the timid, soft-spoken Nianyang of the past.
The current Nianyang was skilled in medicine and making money; she was practically a genius!
Nianyang pinched Jiang Tian’s nose, "Because I’m smart, I learn quickly!"
Jiang Tian whimpered, "We’re all just people living on grains, so why is your brain so nimble? It makes me, as your sister, terribly ashamed."
Nianyang nudged her forehead, "Don’t overthink, Sweet Sister. Everyone has their own unique strengths, and shouldn’t be compared."
"I don’t care, you’re my sister anyway. If you’re smart, that means I’m smart."
Jiang Tian said it confidently and couldn’t help but smirk sneakily.
Nianyang: "..."
Alright, as long as you’re happy!

The next morning, Nianyang and Jiang Aiguo went to the town’s vegetable market to buy seeds for planting.
Starting with the seasonal seeds, each kind weighing ten pounds, they spent nearly two hundred yuan and filled a burlap sack, shocking the market owner.
Jiang Aiguo watched Nianyang counting money decisively, sweating in pain.
So much money just for seeds, what if they suffered a loss?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Then he saw Nianyang planning to buy off-season seeds and saplings, and quickly stopped her.
"That’s enough, Yangyang, there’s already plenty of seasonal stuff. If you plant off-season ones and they don’t grow, it’ll be a waste."
Nianyang said, "Don’t worry, Uncle. We’ll open some acres of land for greenhouses. Off-season ones can also grow." She then explained the greenhouse concept.
At this time, greenhouse technology had already become popular in the provincial cities, but was still unknown in the towns.
Jiang Aiguo understood immediately, "There’s such technology? But are you sure it works? Just surrounding it with a greenhouse can make off-season vegetables grow?"
Normally, there would definitely be some difficulty!
But Nianyang had a hack!
The spiritual energy in her space was abundant; not only off-season seeds, even cooked ones could sprout!
"Don’t worry, Uncle. This technology is used abroad, it won’t disappoint you!"
After buying all the seeds and saplings, and packing them into several burlap sacks, Nianyang and Jiang Aiguo couldn’t carry them back alone, so they rented an ox cart in town for two yuan to transport them.
When they returned to the village, the villagers saw that Jiang Aiguo and Nianyang had bought an entire ox cart’s worth of stuff and were enviously bewildered.
"Wasn’t it said that the Jiang Family was poor? Where did they get the money to buy so much?"
"Look, there are several big bags, and returning by ox cart. Did they strike it rich or what? It’s too extravagant!"
"I heard that the second girl from the Gu Family went to find He Ergou yesterday and got a hundred yuan compensation, probably used it to buy this stuff."
At that moment, the Gu Family, upon hearing the news, felt incredibly jealous.
Especially Wang Ying, who originally didn’t want to separate from Nianyang, not only losing three hundred yuan but couldn’t even get a bit of benefit.
If they hadn’t separated, she could have made Nianyang give her the hundred yuan compensation from He Ergou to the Jiang Family!
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became; the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, resulting in a cluster of blisters appearing on her lips that night.
