Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Preparing to Let Uncle Button Up the Vegetable Greenhouse

She had many things to do.

Her enemies from the last life were unknown, and she must prepare in advance.

She had lived safely in that residential compound for three years. It was only after arriving at the Imperial Capital that troubles arose; thus, her enemies must be from the Imperial Capital.

Choo Lan’s family was in Jinling City, and Zhu Xiaohong’s was in Shandong.

Both had little to do with the Imperial Capital.

So, the likelihood of them being involved was very small.

Even if it were them, going to Border City would be pointless. With Qin Yize as her backer, they wouldn’t dare to cause too much trouble.

But it was different in the Imperial Capital.

Although the Qin Family had a large estate, they were not the only influential family.

Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao lost interest in that place.

Moreover, she no longer loved Qin Yize.

So, whoever he chose to be with had nothing to do with her.

Gu Qiaoqiao did not share the details with her father; instead, she placed the Mysterious Dragon Box back on the desk as it was before, pressed the switch, and the box slowly sank down.

The desk’s surface was smooth, showing no sign of the box.

Gu Qiaoqiao said with a giggle, “Dad, this is the safest place. Once I find the Red Spirit Jade Marrow, I can open it and then we’ll know what’s inside…”

Getting excited, Gu Qiaoqiao asked, “Dad, do you think there might be a treasure map inside?”

Gu Tianfeng stretched out his hand and flicked his daughter’s forehead affectionately, “I’ve raised you to be capable, and now you’re talking about treasure maps. Have you been reading too many martial arts novels?”

Gu Qiaoqiao clung to Gu Tianfeng’s arm sweetly and said, “Such a precious thing, would Dad really bear to give it to me?”

“Not to mention that you discovered it, even if it wasn’t you, as long as you like it, it’s yours. Besides, this thing has a predestined connection with you. In the future, you will be the one to open it. What could Dad possibly regret giving you?”

“Dad, I won’t monopolize it. After all, it’s Grandpa’s relic. The three siblings should all have a share,” declared Gu Qiaoqiao solemnly.

Gu Tianfeng was very gratified. He certainly didn’t want an item of unknown value to cause discord among the siblings.

In his eyes, nothing was more important than the happiness of a united family.

After dinner, Gu Qiaoqiao sat on the heated brick bed chatting with her parents.

It was already mid-March; spring plowing would begin soon.

The family didn’t own much land.

Her residency was now registered under the Imperial Capital Qin Family’s household, and like Gu Tianfeng, she also consumed commercial grain.

Only her mother Lian Yuhong and siblings Gu Zishu and Gu Qianqian each had one mu of land designated for sustenance farming.

So, it wasn’t as tiring as in other households.

Nevertheless, there was still a lot to do in the spring season.

They had to till the land, prepare potato seedlings, and get the vegetable gardens in front and back in order.

Therefore, Lian Yuhong was always busy.

Having completed three olive stone carvings, Gu Qiaoqiao needed to take a break.

She realized that while carving, the Spiritual Energy was not inexhaustible, and it wasn’t as rapid as it had been at the start.

Most importantly, such forced carvings were too draining, so she needed to take proper rest and replenish her Spiritual Energy.

Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t want to stick with using olives; she wanted to carve with jade.

She also had to start looking for the Red Spirit Jade Marrow because the Mysterious Dragon Box was definitely something to be opened.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt that she had a lot to do.

Regarding her future, Gu Qiaoqiao had already made plans.

She didn’t want to be just a carver. Once she was ready with the funds, she intended to open an antique store in the Imperial Capital, specializing in various carvings.

To have such a store, a significant amount of capital was needed.

Connections were also required.

If she wanted, the Luo Family would definitely be willing to support her.

But as for the Luo Family, she didn’t yet understand them well; she only knew Luo Zhenyu and Luo Fan were good people.

But what about the rest of the Luo family?

Gu Qiaoqiao had no way of knowing.

Moreover, if she actively asked for help with such a matter, she would be putting herself at a disadvantage.

Therefore, achieving this goal so quickly was not feasible; the top priority was to finish carving the walnuts and olive pits in hand.

And those four Wolf’s Fangs.

Only by accumulating enough items could she begin the next step.

Then there was the matter of her family.

She was confident that she could provide a good life for her family members.

But, as it stood, Gu Tianfeng and Lian Yuhong would never allow their nineteen-year-old daughter to carve things to support the whole family.

Especially since she was married.

So even the money Gu Qiaoqiao gave to Lian Yuhong, she didn’t touch, claiming she had accepted it but actually planning to save it for her daughter.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought that although she was a good cook, she currently had no time to open a restaurant, and Lian Yuhong, with two children preparing for the middle school exams and a husband who was a teacher to take care of, opening a restaurant in the county town just wasn’t realistic.

Therefore, the ambitious Gu Qiaoqiao felt somewhat at her wits’ end.

For now, the status quo was the only option.

Fortunately, Gu Tianfeng had a monthly salary, and she had Elder Shen’s passbook, which she estimated would have another salary deposited into it next month.

It was somewhat like installment payments.

This was something Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t mentioned to anyone, and she didn’t dare to mention it for the time being, as speaking out would render all her careful planning in vain.

Moreover, it was quite a shocking matter, and she didn’t want to scare her parents.

However, she now had several thousand yuan in hand, which was enough for spending.

So there wasn’t such an urgency anymore.

However, for her grandmother’s family, she thought of a good way to improve their life.

Her eldest uncle was honest and capable, a skilled farmer, and although her aunt was somewhat selfish, she was also capable.

Now that it was the sunny March, and the land had just begun to thaw, she planned to have her eldest uncle plant greenhouse vegetables on the land he contracted this year.

And her younger uncle, being smart and flexible, could be in charge of selling the greenhouse vegetables.

Since ancient times, food has been the utmost necessity for the people.

The soil in Stone Town was so fertile it was dripping with oil, and currently, there wasn’t a single plastic greenhouse to be found.

Because in every household here, the spaces in front of and behind the houses were vegetable gardens.

In the summertime, there were so many vegetables they couldn’t even be finished.

No one had yet thought that these vegetables could also be turned into money.

It wouldn’t be until three years later that the town would begin to cover greenhouses and sell vegetables.

Stone Town was eighteen miles from the county town and fifty miles from the city.

One hundred and fifty miles from the provincial capital.

Not too far.

With the reforms and opening up, restaurants were sprouting up like bamboo shoots after rain.

Therefore, the demand for vegetables in the county and the city was increasing year by year.

The wholesale vegetable market was not yet fully formed.

So, if handled well, her eldest uncle’s family could not only easily clear their debts, but also have a surplus by the end of the year.

Thinking about it meant acting on it.

And for the funding, Gu Qiaoqiao would temporarily cover it for them.

She had Qin Yize’s passbook, which she had never looked at before and only thought of opening when she had this idea.

Unexpectedly, there were over forty thousand yuan in it.

At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s feelings were complex.

But since Qin Yize had given her the passbook, she decided not to play coy, and would borrow it first, then pay it back once her eldest uncle made money.
