Protagonist:

Chai Mi

"Chai Mi!!!" Sun Shengyue gritted her teeth in anger.

Chai Mi didn't take it to heart.

Brain-dead people who love to mock others but can't take being mocked themselves are everywhere.

"What? Does Cousin Sister have a toothache? Gritting your teeth like that?" Chai Mi gave her no face at all: "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm still busy. You can leave now. Don't introduce your boyfriend."

"Hehe. Are you jealous of me?"

Chai Mi even doubted life itself.

Where did this Sun Shengyue hear that she was jealous of her?

Going out with a shrunken brain is just hard...

Chai Mi really wanted to blurt out: I'm jealous of your mother being dead!!!

But thinking about making money today, Chai Mi really couldn't be bothered to argue with these trashy relatives.

It really delayed her steps to making money.

They were just too damn much of a drag!!!

"Yes, that's right. I'm jealous that Cousin Sister found such an excellent..."

Chai Mi looked at Zhao Yingqiao... and began to organize her words.

The problem was that it really wasn't easy to organize her words.

This Zhao Yingqiao was just too ordinary.

She had no good points at all.

Zhao Yingqiao's height was average, her figure was average, her looks were average, her taste was average, her gaze was average, her education was probably average, her IQ was average, and the problem might be that her heart was also average, lacking a bit; otherwise, how could she like Sun Shengyue with that family background?

Although Sun Shengyue felt good about herself.

But Chai Mi felt Sun Shengyue was actually not that great. Someone who was ruthless even to her own maternal uncle was just average.

Although Chai Mi had a grudge against the old house, she would go all out against them, but not kill them.

This Sun Shengyue wanted to kill people.

So, this Zhao Yingqiao's gaze was also average; he didn't even ask about Sun Shengyue's upbringing before dating her...

Of course, it should be that birds of a feather flock together.

"... Such an excellent man. Really not bad." Chai Mi said it with a smile.

She really couldn't find any strengths to praise.

"I'm very happy that Cousin Sister found her ideal husband."

Sun Shengyue couldn't do it anymore...

She was speechless.

Chai Mi started pulling green onions again, and soon finished. Then she tied them up with rope with Sun Baihe, weighing about seventy or eighty catties.

Afterward, Chai Mi forcibly gave Sun Baihe ten yuan.

She refused, saying she bought them, insisting on giving money.

Sun Baihe refused for a while, but Chai Mi insisted, so she took it. Nowadays, good green onions were one cent a catty, and ordinary ones were five cents a catty, extremely cheap.

Chai Mi gave ten yuan, which was obviously a bit too much.

Sun Shengyue was still confused and standing there, but Chai Mi had already left long ago.

Chai Mi used a urea bag as a pad, carried the eighty-catty green onions on her shoulder, and left with light steps.

Sun Shengyue's boyfriend was stunned watching her: she carried seventy or eighty catties so lightly? If it were eighty or ninety catties of Sun Shengyue, wouldn't Chai Mi knock one out with one hand?!

"What are you looking at? Why don't you go with Chai Mi?!" Sun Shengyue said angrily, looking at her boyfriend's shifting gaze.

Chai Mi naturally had no time to deal with Sun Shengyue; she didn't even know which day Sun Shengyue's mother's funeral was.

One could imagine how high the level of this Sun Shengyue "neglecting her proper business" was.

If you have something to say, just say it, stop just talking nonsense.

When she got home, Chai Mi said a few words to her mother, then went to prepare lunch. In the afternoon, she started chopping dumpling filling again.

Because business was unusually booming, she decided to make one hundred portions of dumplings the next day, which required even more filling, so she needed to prepare more in advance.

Chai Mi chopped for about three or four hours before finishing, her arms sore and legs aching.

Chai Mi felt that one hundred portions was basically the limit she could handle herself.

The next day, Song Qiushui came early on her own.

Song Qiushui relied on Chai Mi very much. She found it boring to be alone at home, so whether she got paid or not, she came.

First, it could exercise her body; second, she could get a meal; third, staying at home was too boring, and she had to deal with her mother Meng Shi urging her to get married all day.

What a woman must marry when she's older, what in a few years she won't be able to, giving birth is hard, what will she do if she doesn't marry, who will support her in old age and see her off...

Especially recently.

Song Qiushui's ears were almost getting calluses from listening, it was really annoying.

Chai Mi and Song Qiushui ate breakfast, rode the inverted donkey, and went to the industrial zone to sell dumplings again.

"Sigh... yo..."

On the road, Song Qiushui drew out a long tail sound and began to sigh and say: "Chai Mi, you don't know, my mother took me to a blind date with a huge idiot yesterday..."

Chai Mi stared blankly: Uh……

"Who?"

"From Xi Gou…… that stupid cunt, asking me how much bride price I can give……"

"Holy shit……" Chai Mi blurted out, then coughed twice: "Oh my…… what kind of man, daring to demand bride price so arrogantly? Is he good-looking!"

"He looks passable enough, just lacks IQ." Song Qiushui said listlessly: "He seems to be a neighbor of my great-great-uncle's family, my mom calls him Da Forest. This guy seems to be only nineteen, his family has four or five brothers, his mom is freakishly fertile. Da Forest seems to be the third son, and then they had him come marry into our family."

Chai Mi's eyelid twitched: "Marry in? Asking for some money isn't too excessive."

"The problem is his words are ugly. He said his mom raised him with difficulty, then asking for some bride price to marry in, not excessive, right?"

"Not too excessive."

"He also said his mom raised him with difficulty, then have my family fork out some money to buy his mom a few sets of bedding, not excessive, right?"

"Not too reasonable."

"He also said, his mom raised him with difficulty. Now his dad's gone, he's bringing his mom, his mom's bringing two sons, all marrying in together, not excessive, right."

Chai Mi froze.

This fucking marrying in still dragging the whole family along? First time hearing of such a thing.

"Qiu Shui ah, what did your mom say at the time? His conditions are a bit bizarre……"

"My mom said at the time, that's not impossible either, after all they're a widow and orphan……"

Chai Mi even laughed: "Your mom's cultivation is pretty good then."

"Tch……" Song Qiushui pursed her lips: "Then that stupid cunt Da Forest said: oh my, I'm a bit of a male chauvinist, future kids must take my surname, family money I control, big and small matters I have final say, you——Song Qiushui must be filial to my mom, after all my mom raised me with difficulty."

Chai Mi seemed to already know the outcome, stopped the inverted donkey, laughing until she couldn't catch her breath.

Hehehehehehe.

Too fucking interesting.

"What else did he say?"

"He also said: in the future you——Song Qiushui, must learn to wash clothes and cook, learn to earn money, learn to take care of children, learn to be knowledgeable and courteous, learn to be filial to parents-in-law, learn to swallow your anger, learn how to serve a man……" Song Qiushui said angrily.

Chai Mi smiled: "Then your dad didn't ask him: Da Forest, are you fucking tough or not?"

"Exactly. My dad got furious right then, went up and gave that stupid cunt two big slaps, told him to scram. Said: Da Forest you fucking haven't woken up, go make a wish to the Bodhisattva, don't fucking come to my house making wishes. My house isn't a god, can't contain a little ghost like you."

Song Qiushui spoke, her face flushing with anger: "That stupid cunt even asked my dad: why hit me? My dad said: if it weren't for the fact that Da Forest you're Qiu Shui's great-great-uncle's neighbor, today I'd beat you to death……"

"Hahahaha……" Chai Mi laughed until she doubled over.

Chai Mi laughed until she couldn't anymore, a stupid bird like Da Forest is truly rare.

Never mind that Song Qiushui is beautiful, her family conditions are good, and she's an only daughter, even if she were more ordinary, not as good-looking, in this day and age there's no shortage of live-in sons-in-law.

In this current era, due to preference for sons over daughters, the proportion of sons born is extremely high.

With more boys and fewer girls, many boys will have to become live-in sons-in-law, otherwise they simply can't get wives.

They all say have fewer sons and plant more trees.

With too many sons, they'll really eat the family poor.

Like this Da Forest's family, so many sons, and a widow and orphan situation, Da Forest marrying a wife probably doesn't even have money for bride price.

Can only go be a live-in son-in-law.

Question is, who gave him the courage to propose so many conditions?

And still dragging the whole family along……

It's a bit idiot.

Very funny.

"You calm down too." After a while, Chai Mi said smiling: "I don't think you necessarily need some live-in son-in-law. If you marry into the village, closer to your home, that'd be great. If you find an only son or something, that's good for you too. Avoids trouble later."

"Where's it that easy to find." Song Qiushui worried endlessly.

"I'm not in a rush to find in-laws or anything, the problem is my dad and mom are anxious." Song Qiushui lowered her voice: "My mom said, don't let me learn from you…… said you won't anxiously rush to find in-laws, your family has three girls after all, you can find a live-in son-in-law or marry out either way. I'm different, I can only find a live-in son-in-law…… but then, which good man would fucking be a live-in son-in-law?"

Song Qiushui's words had no flaw.

Indeed generally men not poor to a certain degree would never be live-in sons-in-law.

In the deep-rooted thinking of common people, live-in sons-in-law are inferior by one level.

"Take it slow." Chai Mi started painting big cakes for Song Qiushui: "As long as I work hard to earn money, when I have money later, I'll find you an especially rich live-in son-in-law. We'll work hard together, earn more money. When the time comes, let's put it this way, whatever small car, brand-name bags, I'll get them all for you. Then you'll become the village's little rich woman, good men seeing you won't be able to walk straight."

Song Qiushui stared for a moment, felt Chai Mi's words seemed to have a bit of reason.

Just she didn't quite understand, her having money and men liking her, is there any direct relationship?

Men should like beautiful women, right?

Could it be, they like rich women?

As they talked, Chai Mi and Song Qiushui riding the inverted donkey, arrived at the industrial zone side.

Parked at the old spot, not long after, several diners who ate dumplings last time surrounded them.

"Little sister how come you're only here now? I waited until the flowers withered……"

"Give me a bowl of meat filling…… no, make it two bowls, I'll eat my fill in one meal."

"Don't squeeze don't squeeze, I fucking came first……"

Stall just set up, lots of people came, Chai Mi and Song Qiushui only just put all four tables out, tables front packed with people. And in front of the stall, there were also people queuing.

Yesterday's dumpling eaters all felt these dumplings were delicious to the point of tears.

It's true many people cried……

That scene was huge at the time, over a dozen big men eating dumplings while thinking of their mothers, even if someone suspected it was acting, Chai Mi's stall's fame immediately shot up.

Although this is only her second time coming here to set up a stall, her reputation has already spread like wildfire in several factories.

People all say: factory gate has two fairies selling dumplings…… no, not selling dumplings, fairies coming to deliver blessings, whoever eats will immediately give birth to sons……

Of course, some also say that eating Fairy Dumplings can grant longevity...

Although they're all jokes, it cannot be denied that Chai Mi and Song Qiushui are indeed very beautiful. Moreover, the dumplings they sell are indeed delicious.

In this era, dumplings actually have extremely high value.

Right now, dumplings in the Northeast are equivalent to the scarce lobster and abalone of later generations; although they are eaten during the New Year, they are not usually eaten on ordinary days.

And there aren't many who make them delicious.

Chai Mi and Song Qiushui don't need to hawk their wares; people automatically queue up to buy...

And on the other side, a person walked out from inside the Zisha Factory.

He was dressed appropriately, and his appearance was also passable.

It was precisely Zhou Fang.

One and a half months ago, after an inspection, Zhou Fang signed a contract with the County and bought shares in the County's Zisha Factory which was on the verge of bankruptcy. The factory had already been open for over a month, and Zhou Fang, who had been busy to the point of distraction, finally had a bit of his own idle time.

Zhou Fang actually held forty-nine percent of shares; the other fifty-one percent belonged to the County. It was a shareholding enterprise; the Factory Director was Zhou Fang, and the Deputy Factory Director was Huang Weiwei.

Huang Weiwei was introduced earlier; she is the person in charge of a star enterprise in the Xiang, a management talent Zhou Fang specifically requested from the Xiang.

Zhou Fang usually ate in the canteen.

However, he disliked it very much.

Although he was the Factory Director, the food made in the factory canteen was truly fucking unpalatable...

The problem was the canteen's head chefs; Zhou Fang still didn't dare to just fire them outright.

A factory of over a thousand people, seven or eight head chefs cooking, and the food was all especially unpalatable.

For the time being, Zhou Fang didn't know who the fuck to fire for the best...

The workers below also had reactions.

But fortunately, the canteen was not for profit; the prices were relatively cheap and affordable.

So even if it was unpalatable, everyone had opinions but still went to eat when they should.

After all, eight cents for breakfast, one yuan two cents for lunch, one yuan three cents for dinner... much cheaper than the surrounding ordinary canteens.

Speaking conscientiously...

One yuan to eat freely, and eat one's fill. In this era, that's not too common either...

Of course, Zhou Fang was preparing to replace a few cooks, it's just that he was still too busy and had no time to replace them.

With no cooks replaced, Zhou Fang couldn't be bothered to eat in the canteen, so he wanted to come out and make do.

Yesterday, Zhou Fang heard that a dumpling stall owner had come beside the factory.

Originally, stalls were not allowed outside the factory; it had always been like this. But recently, Zhou Fang himself had also eaten in the canteen...

The canteen was indeed unpalatable.

So Zhou Fang requested the outside security guards not to drive away those stall owners...

After all, he also wanted to go out and eat a bite.
