Chapter 183: New Project

At the dinner table, Yang Qing, after hearing Chen Xueru's purpose for coming over, felt a bit hesitant to speak.

Mushroom cultivation is good, but this matter would be more effective if done by Xu Huizhen.

Because those who grow rack vegetables have already started to benefit, they already have a foundation of trust in Xu Huizhen.

You, who run a silk shop, go meddling in people's planting business—isn't that just causing trouble?

Moreover, mushroom cultivation is Xu Huizhen's path of advancement; you butting in is like stabbing a friend in the back, isn't it?

Although nowadays many are plastic friendships, you first, because of Xu Liangcai's matter, screwed over Xu Huizhen once, and now you disregard feelings and snatch her business.

What? Is Xu Huizhen your mother? Must everything obey you?

Yang Qing knew that Chen Xueru's competitive heart was at work here.

Perhaps she isn't aware, but unintentional harm is the most deadly.

Chen Xueru spoke up just to have Yang Qing give her an idea; this also counts as a sign of trust.

Seeing Yang Qing hesitant to speak, he felt a bit unhappy.

「Come on, give an opinion. 」

「Will it work or not? 」

Yang Qing picked at a few bites with his chopsticks, then looked at Chen Xueru.

「To be honest, I really don't know now whether you're doing this on purpose or not. 」

「Even if I assume you're unintentional, normally, when two sisters have a good relationship, shouldn't they leave the good things for each other? How did you end up competing? 」

「Do you understand what I mean? 」

Chen Xueru froze, her face quickly darkened, and she was a bit angry.

「What do you mean? Speak clearly. 」

Yang Qing nodded.

「It's exactly what you think; what you're doing is a bit of a screw-over for Xu Huizhen. 」

「Xu Huizhen's rack-vegetable growing has earned some goodwill, but if she wants to solidify her current achievements, mushroom cultivation is currently her best project. 」

「Doing this is tantamount to cutting off her path. 」

Chen Xueru's face turned ugly as she retorted.

「I didn't think that much. 」

「Really? 」

Yang Qing countered.

「Is it really that you didn't think much, or have you grown accustomed to competing with Xu Huizhen, insisting on coming out on top in everything? 」

「Because of this competitive heart, have you overlooked many things that should be attended to? 」

Yang Qing still gave her face, not saying anything harsher.

Chen Hong didn't think that much; she felt Yang Qing's words were too serious.

「If Sister Xueru doesn't do it, will nobody else do it? 」

「Isn't it better when sisters unite, for their combined strength can cut through metal? 」

Yang Qing helplessly glanced at Chen Xueru.

「Her past matters aren't over yet. 」

「Working together with Xu Huizhen, is it helping or harming? 」

「Furthermore, when doing things, there must be a leader and a deputy; Sister Xueru, if this matter were led by Xu Huizhen, would you still do it? 」

Chen Xueru opened her mouth but said nothing.

The old lady, watching the few people bicker, couldn't help urging.

「Alright, alright, eat, eat, eat your fill then we'll talk. 」

「Besides, everyone says you're smart, kid; if growing mushrooms won't work, can't you think of another good idea for Xueru girl? 」

「Why get hung up on this? 」

The old lady spoke, and Yang Qing and the others could only bury their heads in eating.

Chen Xueru, who had been made extremely embarrassed by Yang Qing's retort, upon hearing this, her eyes also lit up.

This kid Yang Qing has come up with so many things this year; he must have other ideas in his head.

After the meal, Yang Qing was pulled into the room.

Chen Xueru boldly conscripted labor.

「The old lady has spoken; you must think of something else for me to do. 」

Chen Hong also helped Chen Xueru from the side.

「If you know, just say it. 」

「Sister Xueru doesn't usually come to us once; don't spoil the fun. 」

Yang Qing glanced at Chen Hong's chest, then at Chen Xueru's chest.

He pretended to be profound.

「There is, but well, it's hard to say out loud. 」

After saying that, he felt embarrassed.

Chen Xueru, in her blunt way, urged.

「Come on, say it; what's there to hide? 」

Chen Hong also chimed in.

「Don't play legal games. 」

Yang Qing looked as if he were being forced by you all.

This is what you asked me to say.

Chen Xueru and Chen Hong nodded.

You say, you say, we promise not to blame you?

Yang Qing also smiled.

To be honest, this project of mine is really very suitable for you.

You're in the silk business, you should have heard of bras, right?

Chen Xueru's face flushed at Yang Qing's mention of bras.

Chen Hong also twisted his ear.

You damn hooligan.

Yang Qing seized Chen Hong's hand to stop her from twisting further.

You let me speak, I did, so why are you turning on me?

Who let you act improperly in front of Sister Xueru?

Yang Qing pointed at Chen Xueru.

You let her speak—is this project I mentioned really suitable for her?

After her shyness faded, Chen Xueru also confirmed the project suited her.

Bras—there are plenty in Jingcheng; what's the big deal?

Yang Qing freed himself from Chen Hong's grasp and put on a serious face.

In this world, the best money to make is from women and children.

And bras are one of women's most valued needs.

I once saw a bra advertisement in an old newspaper.

It occupied the entire page, showing its market potential.

Chen Hong was a little confused.

Just that apron, a small undershirt?

Is it really as mysterious as you say?

Chen Xueru understood what Yang Qing meant.

What he meant wasn't this; it's something that can...

She said, making a gesture on her chest.

It's the kind that can make this look more upright.

Yang Qing's gaze was also drawn over, standing tall.

Sister Xueru, please wear it now.

Chen Xueru nodded, her face red.

Yang Qing pointed at Chen Hong.

Let her open her eyes.

Chen Xueru glared at Yang Qing, her face so red it seemed about to drip.

Chen Hong's face also turned sour.

That was too much.

Yang Qing rushed out the door.

Isn't there a sample? Let me show you for a clearer picture.

It's best to take it off; I'll explain how this is designed.

Without a sample, many things can't be explained clearly.

Hearing Yang Qing's words, the two who had intended to beat him to death did not pursue him.

The two exchanged a glance, then Chen Xueru shyly asked.

Do you mind if your man touches my things?

This damn, this is opening up to Yang Qing.

This is intimate apparel; what does that mean—how could she not understand?

Chen Hong's face kept shifting.

Yang Qing, this lecher, upon seeing Qin Huairu's big white steamed bun, Chen Hong wouldn't say anything, but now he actually wants to openly play with Chen Xueru's intimate clothing.

After gritting her teeth for a while, she finally squeezed out from between her teeth: 'I don't mind.'

I don't mind.

This era is not far from the old society; many places still have the situation of elder maids, younger maids, grandmothers, second wives, third wives.

Thus, men are still relatively tolerated.

Chen Hong glanced at Chen Xueru, feeling she couldn't stand it herself—this is a seductive fox.

Forget it, she doesn't care either; why am I so bothered?

Anyway, I'm not losing out.

Hum, Yang Qing, tomorrow you'd better not think of getting out of bed.
