Rebirth of a Village Girl

Besides considering her elder brother’s interest, Zhou Xiaolian had her own ulterior motives. After all, everyone is inherently selfish.

She coveted Ni Yang’s recipe.

The recipe for Pickled Fish Noodles and milk tea.

Once her brother marries Ni Cuihua, she and Ni Yang would become part of the same family, and naturally, there would be no secrets.

Once she has the recipes for Pickled Fish and milk tea, she would just need to sit at home and collect money.

“Alright, enough with the nonsense!” Li Yinsheng said impatiently, “Your brother isn’t lacking in potential brides. Why are you so concerned for him?”

“I’m his sister; how can I not worry?” Zhou Xiaolian glared at Li Yinsheng, “I need to go to my mother! And you stay here and look after the shop!”

Li Yinsheng could only shake his head helplessly.

Zhou Xiaolian went straight back to her parents’ house.

Her family was well-off. Both her parents were retired directors of a factory. Although her only brother was devoid of a wife, he had a good job, a dependable livelihood, a high salary, and often had some extra perks.

This was why so many eligible women were willing to marry him.

After hearing Zhou Xiaolian’s plan, her mother, Ji Mudan, fussed, “What kind of joke is this? There are so many young ladies ready to marry your brother, and he doesn’t need them. You’re introducing a widow with two children to him. Xiaolian, don’t you care about your brother anymore?”

Given that her son was accomplished, Ji Mudan, as a mother, felt proud. Moreover, they came from a family of salaried employees; how could they marry a self-employed woman!

Zhou Xiaolian smiled and said, “Mom, don’t look down on self-employed people. The woman I want to introduce to my brother owns four shops. She earns at least 20,000 yuan a month. When combined, your, dad’s, and brother’s income is still less than what she earns in a month, isn’t it?”

20,000! That’s over 200,000 a year!

Ji Mudan was a bit shocked but still retorted, “What does it matter how much money she earns? Our family doesn’t lack money.”

While the Zhou family was not immensely rich, they were not short of money either.

Zhou Xiaolian continued, “With more money, future kids could study abroad, we could move to a bigger house, hire a few nannies to serve you. Doesn’t that sound good?”

Ji Mudan seemed slightly tempted at this, “What you said seems somewhat reasonable! What does this woman look like?”

Zhou Xiaolian responded, “Her looks leave nothing to be desired. How about you come with me tomorrow and see for yourself?”

“Alright.” Ji Mudan nodded.

Even though Ni Yang had already declined this meeting, Zhou Xiaolian still wouldn’t give up.

Ni Yang’s Noodle Restaurant and Milk Tea Shop would open tomorrow, and Ni Cuihua, her mother, would certainly appear. By then, they would definitely see Ni Cuihua.

Zhou Xiaolian felt that as long as she could convince Ji Mudan, her acquiescent brother, who always listened to his mother’s words, wouldn’t be a problem.

As for Ni Cuihua, she saw no obstacle there.

With her brother’s great conditions, only a fool would object.

She didn’t think Ni Cuihua was a fool.

After settling things with Ji Mudan, Zhou Xiaolian returned home satisfied.

The next day, Ni Yang went to the Noodle Restaurant early in the morning.

Just as she arrived, she saw workers laying out red carpets and arranging flowers in front of the Noodle Restaurant and Milk Tea Shop.

Could it be that Mo Qishen had returned?

Ni Yang raised her eyebrows slightly.

Other than Mo Qishen, no one else would give her these things.

Just as she thought this, Wu Daming ran over from the side, “Sister Yan, oh no! Sister-in-law, you’re here.”

“Wu Daming.” Ni Yang looked at the man in surprise.

Wu Daming said, “Sister-in-law, my sixth bro isn’t in the country, so he couldn’t come here in person. He asked me to bring these things.”

Sixth sister-in-law? This address made Ni Yang’s cheeks flush slightly.

You have to admit, Mo Qishen really is a qualified boyfriend.

“Thank you. By the way, when will Brother Mo probably return?” If you calculate, Mo Qishen has been out for about a month now.

Wu Daming, this straight man, directly replied, “Sister-in-law, do you miss my sixth bro?”

Ni Yang: “….” How should she respond to that?

Wu Daming continued, “Also, Sister-in-law, I’ve received the sterile equipment you asked about last time. When do you want it?”
