And the truth didnât defy Chen Yangâs expectations; as soon as Wang Hongâs uncle came over and glanced at Chen Yang, he then turned his gaze to the old man.
âOld man, whatâs going on with you?
Still want the lobsters or not?
Why are you so unenthusiastic?â
Wang Hongâs uncle spoke with a tone full of dissatisfaction, almost as if he was reprimanding the old man.
If this were any other day, the old man would have surely greeted him with a smile for the sake of the lobsters.
But now, with Chen Yang here, of course he wouldnât give Wang Hongâs uncle the satisfaction of seeing him smile.
âWang Hongâs uncle, I am formally notifying you that from now on, you no longer need to deliver lobsters to my shop, and also stop calling me âold man.â I have no relation with you whatsoever.â
The old man answered with a cold face.
âWhat?â
Caught completely by surprise, Wang Hongâs uncle felt like he had misheard.
âWhat did you just say?
You wonât need my lobster supply from now on?â
Wang Hongâs uncle asked incredulously, seeking confirmation that he hadnât misheard.
The old man looked indifferently at Wang Hongâs uncle and repeated his earlier statement in a calm manner, âYes, I just said you donât need to deliver lobsters to me anymore, and donât call me âold man,â as we have no relation at all.â
Pfft.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hongâs uncle nearly burst into laughter on the spot.
âOld man, have you gone mad?
Do you know the consequences of not getting your lobsters from me?â
âWithout my lobsters!
Your little shop will have to close within three days!â
Wang Hongâs uncle was full of arrogance, acting as if without him the old manâs shop wouldnât be able to continue.
âThat has nothing to do with you.
Anyway, Iâve already informed you.
Donât come to deliver anymore starting today, my shop doesnât need it,â the old man replied coldly and firmly.
âHeh heh heh.â
The old manâs persistence immediately provoked Wang Hongâs uncle into a bitter laugh.
âAlright, old man, you are quite something, willing to go so far just to prevent Little Cui from marrying me!â
âBut no matter, Iâd like to see how many days your shop can last.
Donât come begging to me when the time comes.â
Wang Hongâs uncle angrily left these harsh words behind, then turned and walked away.
He departed decisively, as if certain that the old man would eventually come to beg him.
Little did he know, the old man already had access to the same quality lobsters as his.
âOld man, letâs leave it at that for now.
Iâll be going if thereâs nothing else.
As for the matters with the other shops, please talk to them for me and let me know as soon as possible how much they need so I can prepare for tomorrow,â Chen Yang said after watching Wang Hongâs uncle leave.
As soon as the old man faced Chen Yang, his expression immediately changed, no longer cold but instead filled with smiles.
âOkay, young brother, take your time.
Iâll take good care of the matters with the other shops,â the old man responded.
âUh huh, thank you, bye now.â
Chen Yang nodded and then directly walked out through the back door.
After watching Chen Yang leave, the old man swiftly headed to the front desk.
âLittle Cui, what do you think about that young man just now?â he asked.
Little Cui, who was busy with accounts, looked up upon hearing the old manâs voice and met his gaze.
Tears were in her eyes.
âUh huh, heâs very nice,â she said.
Seeing the tears in Little Cuiâs eyes, the old man was overtaken with guilt.
âLittle Cui, Dad knows this is unfair to you, but we need the money for Momâs treatment, and our shop canât close.
If it closes, your mom wonât have the money for treatment and she will die!â the old man said with a heart-wrenching sorrow.
âDad!
Donât say that, I know all this, and for Mom, I am willing to do this.
The man today, he looked really good!
I am very satisfied, so you donât need to feel guilty,â Little Cui interrupted, tears streaming down her face.
Whilst crying bitterly, Little Cui felt a slight relief inside, thankful that Chen Yang had appeared at the critical moment.
Otherwise, in a few more days, she would have had to marry Wang Hongâs uncle.
After Chen Yang left, he got straight into his van and drove back.
On his way back, he had no idea that there had even been a moment of regret between father and daughter at the late-night snack shop.
All he was thinking about now was how to expand his business and make money quickly.
As for that so-called promise of delivering lobsters for a wife, he had long since forgotten it to the back of his mind.
Even though Xiaocui was very pretty, a true beauty.
And although he knew the old man would agree immediately if he asked, he knew he couldnât do such a thing, so he didnât dwell on it.
On the way back, Chen Yang was in a great mood, humming a tune all the way.
Before he knew it, he had returned to Liuhe Village.
âHaving a car is really not bad, much more comfortable to sit in.â
After getting out of the car, Chen Yang smiled, patted the car door, and then locked the car.
Then he went home, took a comfortable shower, and lay in bed thinking the construction team should be arriving tomorrow.
He needed to choose a plot of land early, otherwise, it would be embarrassing if Boss Linâs construction team arrived and there was no land to work on.
âIâll get up early tomorrow, I should pick a spot before the construction team arrives.â
Once this idea came to him, Chen Yang immediately took out his phone, set an alarm for six oâclock in the morning, and then fell asleep.
Ding ding dingâŚ
The next morning, Chen Yang was woken up by the alarm he set the day before.
The awakened Chen Yang immediately sprang up like a carp, got dressed, and left his house.
At six oâclock in the morning, the sun had not even risen yet.
But by this time, many villagers were already up.
People in the countryside tend to sleep early, so they also rise early.
With nothing much else to do early in the morning, they took advantage of the fact that the sun hadnât come out and the weather was not hot to carry their tools and go to work.
Chen Yang was among this group.
However, while the others went to work, he went to wander around.
He circled the whole Liuhe Village, looking for a suitable dry plot of land to set up greenhouses.
Chen Yang was very familiar with Liuhe Village and remembered a few suitable locations.
So Chen Yang wasnât searching aimlessly, but very purposefully.
After some searching, he finally felt that the piece of land in front of the village plaza was very suitable.
But that plot was covered in a lot of corn, and dealing with it would probably be troublesome.
After much thought, Chen Yang still decided to go for that piece of land.
Presently, there was no other plot of land better suited for building greenhouses than that one.
Not only was it wide, but the terrain was also very flat, and most importantly, it was close to the village, which made it convenient for any daily tasks.
After making his decision, Chen Yang immediately went to find out who owned that land.
âUncle Niu, who owns that corn plot?â
The closest to the village entrance was Uncle Niu from the village store.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, Uncle Niu happily greeted him.
âWhich one?â
âJust there, where thereâs a lot of corn.â
Chen Yang pointed again.
This time Uncle Niu followed Chen Yangâs hand and saw the plot clearly.
âOh, that plot?
Thatâs Wang Hongâs!
She likes growing corn in our village, almost all the cornfields belong to her,â Uncle Niu replied.
âWang Auntieâs?
Then itâs easy to handle!â
Once Chen Yang knew who it belonged to, he thanked Uncle Niu and then left.
He went to talk to Wang Hong.
At this time of the day, Wang Hong should be working near her own breeding farm.
So Chen Yang walked from the village entrance back to the breeding farm.
And he found Wang Hong.
