Chapter 1164: 1140. Does your boyfriend have sisters?
The tricycle quickly arrived at the riverside, where the cold wind blew fiercely.
The weather was getting colder and the sun wasn’t great today, so the cattle and sheep weren’t keen on wandering outside; they stayed in the warm house instead. The Riverside Beach was empty, with only the wind blowing over the River, making a lonely sound.
However, emptiness doesn’t mean no one is watching.
As soon as the two entered the Riverside Beach area, two sheepdogs darted out quickly. Seeing the buckets in their hands, their ears perked up excitedly!
Well, there’s a reason they’re called sheepdogs!
These two smart dogs, Little Ten and Little Eleven, seeing food, didn’t call their companions right away. Instead, they circled around trying to curry favor, hoping to get more food by being closer.
But soon, these clever dogs realized that the bucket wasn’t theirs. They glanced at the heartless Song Tan, sniffed Lun Chuan, and then lazily lay back in their doghouses.
At this moment, Wu Lei’s good friend inside the house was already speaking:
"...Oh auntie! No wonder Wu Lei is so reliable in getting things done? You’ve been coordinating everything at home!"
"In this tough economic climate, whether it’s starting a business or working a job, the pressure is immense. We’ve chosen to start solidly with food, which really captures the trend!"
"Us young folks nowadays might wear ten-yuan slippers but still want to taste a hundred-yuan meat. Truly the ideology of ’food as the primary need of people’!"
"As long as we rear our cattle well and let them graze naturally, don’t worry, there’s no need for our cousin to fret about selling them. My family’s big supermarkets can sell one head a day without any problem!"
Just hearing these few sentences, Song Tan breathed a sigh of relief—her mom was right; these were indeed reliable friends. No wonder they wanted to give face to Wu Lei’s friend.
Looking at the bucket in her hand and the snacks in Lun Chuan’s hand, she realized they made the right call!
Thinking about it, she knocked on the door: "Auntie, I’ve brought you some delicious treats!"
In the next moment, it was Zhang Chen who rushed to open the door: "How did you know I was just watching Qiaoqiao’s live stream this morning? Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
He probably had been holding in these words for a long time, as he suddenly blurted out a string of commentary:
"Our Qiaoqiao is truly a natural star! Just casually saying a few words, she built suspense perfectly, and nailed the atmosphere just right!"
"And it wasn’t stiff at all, so natural. People were sending her loads of gifts all morning. Sigh, compared to our past choices, Wu Lei and I didn’t really have good judgment. That Juliet doing live streams is much stiffer than Qiaoqiao."
Song Tan was impressed—what a smooth talker!
No wonder even though they were love rivals, they could meet once and Wu Lei ended up crying and bringing the person home. Bringing these good items over truly wasn’t a loss.
Thus, she became even more enthusiastic:
"Come, come, come, these are the rice noodles Qiaoqiao made on her live stream this morning. Auntie, they take attentive care over here, and it’s hard to invite them over, so I just brought the food!"
"Feel free to try more, don’t be polite!"
Seeing Auntie coming over, Song Tan handed the two buckets over and sidestepped to introduce the person behind her:
"Oh right, Auntie, you didn’t really see Lun Chuan well yesterday, did you? This is my new boyfriend. These snacks are made by him to bring over for you to taste."
It wasn’t until this moment that everyone noticed Lun Chuan standing at the doorway.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
Uncle was tongue-tied and couldn’t speak, and the usually quick Auntie was stunned in place, stammering: "Oh, oh... yesterday, I was too busy watching; I didn’t really help much; I didn’t look carefully... how come..."
She was incoherent, clearly wanting to ask how suddenly it became a relationship, and how did it happen? Through what means?
Looking at her own single, silly son, compared to others—not mentioning it might be better.
Only Zhang Chen perked up, first marveled at Lun Chuan, then turned to ask Song Tan:
"Cousin, we’re family. Does your boyfriend’s family have any single sisters or cousins? Do you think I stand a chance?"
He puffed up his chest and spoke frankly: "You see me as well, I have some advantages. I look for appearance in a relationship, not picky about personality, easily coaxed."
Song Tan: ...
Alright, alright! In terms of being ’thick-skinned,’ the entire Lao Song’s family doesn’t match up to this one!
Unfortunately...
"He doesn’t." Song Tan answered for Lun Chuan.
Zhang Chen was a bit disappointed.
Yet, his mood came and went quickly. Soon he led them inside the house, quickly asking: "Cousin, since you’re here, listen to my suggestion just now."
Auntie went to cook the rice noodles, and the silent Uncle along with Wu Lei listened quietly to Zhang Chen’s plan:
"Next year, they only plan to raise five or six cattle initially. You know, these aren’t those tied-up meat cattle that don’t move all day; it takes a while before they can be sold."
"It takes a year or two before they see returns. Just a few thousand in return, feels not worth it, so I thought why not raise more from the start."
"If funds are tight, I’ve got some."
"You should know my money isn’t urgent, can be used freely for a few years, no stress."
There’s some truth to these words, and they can’t be said to be insincere. However, the cattle raising is Uncle’s future venture, and Song Tan didn’t want to intervene too much, just curiously asked:
"Uncle doesn’t want to, is that it?"
Zhang Chen nodded—though he seemed carefree every day, growing up in a business family had him imbibe certain ideas.
That is, once a plan is made, let go and fight, and do it!
Once you’ve overcome the initial hurdles, bigger rewards will follow. As for working hard all year just to earn a few thousand, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Nowadays, going out to work can earn more than that!
But this business-minded mentality is quite different from the cautious farming family, so Uncle couldn’t agree with him.
However, the person in front was Wu Lei’s good buddy, and his intentions were good, making it inconvenient for them to voice some things.
Fortunately, Song Tan came over.
With just a smile, she turned to ask Lun Chuan, who had remained quiet since the introductions:
"What about you? What do you think?"
Lun Chuan thought for a moment: "Better go with Uncle’s decision."
He hadn’t raised cattle before, but knew that rural family assets are hard-earned and not enough to risk on ventures.
"Raising cattle requires care, and for the first year, Uncle and the family should be meticulous."
"Also, don’t underestimate a few cattle; the investment is not small either."
Buying good calves costs money, building cow pens is necessary, keeping a healthy environment, nutrition— all require investment. With cattle and sheep to care for every day, it means the family can’t do stable, income-earning work elsewhere.
Adding the cost of winter feed and simple disease prevention vaccines throughout the year, the expenses aren’t trivial...
"At the beginning, being prudent is advisable."
Lun Chuan said tactfully.
