Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 247 - 247 247 Thoughts

?Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Thoughts Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Thoughts Along the way, Sun Weimin had not stopped praising how beautiful Bai Yue was and also how capable she was. Even a fool could see his intentions towards Bai Yue.

Wang Yan became increasingly silent.

On the other hand, Bai Yue, Bai Song, Bai Xiao, and the three kids at home were all delighted. A pig weighed at least three hundred pounds, and four pigs totaled up to twelve hundred pounds. Even if it was slightly less after deductions, they definitely had about eleven hundred and fifty pounds. At nine-tenths of a yuan per pound, that was over a thousand yuan!

Upon hearing this number, Bai Yue was somewhat trembling with excitement.

Four pigs were over a thousand yuan, and adding the money from selling eggs every month, it would amount to another thousand-plus for the year.

Their family would have over two thousand yuan in a year.

Even though they didn’t have their own land, buying grain still left them with a surplus of over a thousand yuan.

It was truly a considerable sum of money.

Bai Xiao, seeing Bai Yue’s excited state, really didn’t have the heart to break it to her elder sister that this was just seeing the harvest. These chickens were because of her own blessings, and the pigs were lucky to have survived this time. The next time might not be so fortunate. If something went wrong with the grown pigs, they could end up with nothing at all.

Perhaps after a year of raising them, they might end up not making any money, but instead lose what they had invested in the piglets.

But today was such a good day, and she could not bear to say these words.

So let the elder sister take it slowly; life is lived one step at a time.

In the afternoon, Sun Weimin had someone drive directly to Bai Yue’s house. Several workers came in and clumsily tied up the four pigs, and upon weighing, they truly were eleven hundred and forty pounds.

“Boss, the pigs are full-sized, no feedstuff added, a true weight indeed.” The master who was specifically responsible for checking the pigs reported to Sun Weimin.

Sun Weimin glanced at Bai Yue. This woman was honest and straightforward, probably due to her brothers who were all soldiers and the family’s influence.

“Miss Bai Yue, the pigs have been weighed and loaded onto the truck. Here’s one thousand and twenty-six yuan. Please count it,” Sun Weimin said as he took out money from his bag and handed it to Bai Yue.

Bai Yue smiled as she took it, “Thank you, big brother Sun!” She turned to Bai Xiao to count the money, as having her sister, a university student, count the money was only appropriate.

Bai Xiao counted it and said, “Big sister, it’s exactly right, not a yuan more or less.”

Sun Weimin, smiling, opened the big truck’s door and turned to Bai Yue, “Miss Bai Yue, I’ve left you my number. If you want to sell pigs next time, just give me a call and I’ll definitely come personally. If you need any help, just let me know. I’m definitely willing to help.” He looked fondly at Bai Yue and spoke very amiably, clearly planning to further their acquaintance.

Bai Yue waved her hand, “Take care, big brother Sun. I’ll definitely call you if there’s anything.” She was genuinely happy about her successful pig harvest.

After seeing off Sun Weimin, Bai Yue came back to close the gate. With so much money at home, she inevitably felt a little worried. Fortunately, her brother was at home; otherwise, she would have felt uneasy about having sold the pigs and handling so much money all at once.

Bai Xiao watched Sun Weimin’s car disappearing into the distance, teasing her elder sister with a grin, “Big sister, I see that this Sun Weimin really treats you differently!”

She wholeheartedly encouraged her elder sister to take this step, and encountering Li Dashan was unavoidable, but it didn’t mean her elder sister was less than anyone else.

Bai Yue gave Bai Xiao a disdainful look, “He’s in business, of course, he’s different with everybody. He tells people what they want to hear. If you take that seriously, then you’re just too naive.” She didn’t feel that Sun Weimin had any special feelings for her at all.

Mainly, over the years, Bai Yue had come to see herself as a mother, mothering three sons. She didn’t think anyone would fall for her at first sight.

Of course, she thought of Wang Yan and couldn’t help but smile sweetly. This man was different.

Bai Xiao watched her elder sister’s heart-fluttering smile and couldn’t help but wonder. Had her sister had some romantic encounter during the days she was not around?

It seemed her elder sister wouldn’t tell her.

Frustrated, she went inside, planning to thoroughly interrogate her elder sister at bedtime, to figure out with whom her elder sister had had an affair. It would also help her keep an eye on her sister so that she wouldn’t encounter another jerk like Li Dashan. Her sister, such a kind and hardworking woman, deserved the best man.

She hoped it wasn’t one of those second-rate men out to take advantage, considering her elder sister was naive and could easily feel grateful for a little help in tough times. This gratitude could easily turn into affection.

Bai Xiao wouldn’t let such a thing happen to her elder sister.

When Bai Song returned, the family finally had dinner. He had gone to the village committee to call Bai Ju from the town. Bai Ju said that on the twenty-ninth of the twelfth lunar month, their family would return. This New Year was genuinely the first time their whole family would celebrate together, so of course, they had to come back for a family reunion.

It was easier for Bai Ju since she didn’t have in-laws; the couple could come back directly with their three children for the New Year.

Bai Yue, holding her bowl of rice, suddenly remembered, “Oh dear, I forgot to save a pig for our family. I was so happy I sold them all, forgetting that we need meat for the New Year. Especially since we have more people this year, we should’ve kept more meat. How could I be so happy that I sold all the pigs?” she exclaimed with regret.

“It’s okay if you sold them, elder sister,” Bai Xiao chuckled. “If it comes to it, a few days from now if someone in the village slaughters a pig, we can just buy some pork from them. We wouldn’t eat a whole pig anyway. Just get about forty to fifty pounds this year, elder sister. First, let’s sort out the room next door, ask for some help from the village, and make some basic repairs. If we fire up the kang and heat it for a couple of days, it should be ready for my second sister and her family when they come.” She was more concerned about where everyone would stay by then.

Bai Yue nodded approvingly, “Look at me, not thinking about anything else, just focused on having your brother call your sister, without even considering where they would stay when people come back. Their family has five members, after all. Tomorrow, since your brother is here, we’ll fix that room—just the roof is broken and the windows aren’t great. Fixing the roof or doing the windows might take a couple of days. I’m not sure if the village carpenter will be willing to work, especially since it’s already the twelfth lunar month.”

The family continued planning while eating their meal.

Bai Song shook his head, “I’ll go talk to the village chief, even if it means paying more to rush the job, it could actually be done in one day. At worst, I’ll go help out. I’ll make sure that when your third brother and brother-in-law come back, they can stay in a warm house.”

With these thoughts, Bai Song was ready to spend some money. He had brought a few months’ allowances, and he had planned to spend it for the New Year at home.

The New Year goods for the family hadn’t cost his sister a dime, mainly because the five big boxes of goods were overwhelmingly impressive.

Now being able to contribute to his family, Bai Song was happy.

In fact, thinking about spending the New Year with all four siblings together for the first time, sitting around the table as a complete family, warmed his heart more than anything else.

Isn’t the New Year all about family?

In previous years, even if he came back for the New Year, it was just a meal at his grandmother and uncle’s place, then he would be on his own, cold and quiet. His sisters would go back to their maternal home and had no time to visit. Even if he wanted some excitement, there was nowhere to go. But this year was going to be different; their home would be lively and bustling for the New Year.
