"It’s all right now, the matter has passed, and the food factory probably won’t send anyone to ask for the secret recipe again. However, we might see some actions from Food Store’s side, so let’s keep an eye on them."Upon hearing that the secret recipe was safe, Qin Han was completely relieved and nodded seriously at the words of Lin Chuxia, "Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I have been keeping an eye on them."Ever since that visit from Director Gao last time, he has never let his guard down regarding that matter.Smelling the alcohol on Lin Chuxia, the couple didn’t bother her further and let her go back to rest well.In the following days, there were no significant moves from the food factory side. However, Qin Han lacked his usual vigor and even seemed listless.Lin Chuxia thought he might be sick due to the cold weather these days; if that was indeed the case, she would give him a few days off to rest properly.After all, in the catering business, health and safety come first. It’s b

She refused to give up and charged again, but her opponent lost patience, took up a vinegar bottle from the table, and smashed it toward Sun Lanlan’s head.Sun Lanlan protected the bowls and dishes on the table and turned around to see the vinegar bottle enlarging before her eyes; it was too late to dodge.At the critical moment, a figure rushed forward and punched the opponent, causing them to stagger. The vinegar bottle fell to the ground with a ’smack’ sound."Lanlan...""Sun Lanlan!"Cai Jun rushed to Sun Lanlan’s side with a look of concern, asking, "Are you alright? Are you injured?"Lin Chuxia swallowed the words she was about to say, looking towards Su Wensong who was scuffling with the man.She hadn’t realized that Su Wensong could actually fight like this.When she entered the door, she saw the scene that enraged her. If the vinegar bottle really hit Sun Lanlan’s head, it would have been disastrous.Just as she was about to rush in, Su Wensong had already knocked down the pe

At night, when he returned home, Qin Yang’s parents hadn’t rested yet, and Qin Han took the newspaper to show Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.Although there wasn’t a single word mentioning Qin Yang in it, Qin Han still shared the news about Qin Yang’s unit with Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.Lin Chuxia went straight back to her room, took out the newspaper with the most detailed report to read it again, and then took out the stationery to start writing a letter.She didn’t mention seeing the report in the newspaper; as usual, she wrote about the daily happenings in the shop, such as buying a three-wheeled motorcycle. That was just the start—if they had more money, she would also buy a small truck, a sedan; they were all part of her future aspirations.Then she asked about Qin Yang’s recent situation, whether his unit was busy, whether it had snowed over there, and if the construction could still continue.She didn’t even mention the fact that she had written letters to him before and hadn’t received any

"Alright, go back and talk to Uncle Sun for me. I can pay the lease yearly for the hills, with a contract starting from at least ten years minimum. Of course, the longer the better. Third Brother, you decide how to handle it. If there’s any request from the village, we can discuss it as well.""Okay, no problem," Sun Bingnan agreed without hesitation, believing his father would be happy to hear this. "Sis, what do you want to rent two hills for? I’m telling you, all the mature trees on the hill were chopped down and sold by the village. What’s left are just small trees. You should know that you can’t grow crops on our hills."Their family did have a hill planted with fruit trees though."That’s the second thing I wanted to discuss with you, Third Brother. I’m planning to raise chickens on the hill. Next year, I want to expand our ready-to-eat food business. It would be best if we could use our own chickens for the raw materials. I remember your eldest and second brothers are both at h

"Sister-in-law, look at you, Lihua is going shopping with you because I’ve allowed it. How could I deduct her pay? Lihua, just enjoy yourself with your sixth aunt. Have a good time, and your salary will be paid as usual," Lin Chuxia looked at her, smiling even more tenderly.A flash of joy sparkled in Qin Lihua’s eyes. The opportunity to go out and still get paid was one nobody would pass up.And accompanying the sixth aunt shopping, would she just watch her buy clothes? The sixth uncle is her dad’s own brother."Thank you, fourth aunt.""What for? You should thank your sixth aunt for taking you out."Ma Suyun raised her bowl and took a sip of porridge, her words muffled, "I... I need to wait a bit longer before I can go, I haven’t finished eating yet. Fourth sister-in-law, your shop seems pretty busy too, so just focus on your work and don’t worry about me. Lihua as well, get back to work quickly. Don’t let me hold up the business."However, Lin Chuxia said, "Then I’ll get busy first
