My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 935 Romantic Luck, Only Plays with Dogs [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

After hearing her husband's words, Liu Yinhuan calmed down slightly, but she was still deeply troubled.
"I must retaliate! I just can't swallow this! Fugui was such a good person..."

"OK OK."

Liang Yuemin got up and walked to his wife's side, gently putting his arm around her shoulder.

“Wealth is more powerful than we imagine. Look at his trip to Hong Kong Island; his handling of affairs and his dealings with people are all impeccable.”

"He has his own good fortune. As his older brother and sister-in-law, we should just support him quietly from behind and not let these dirty things bother him."

Liu Yinhuan leaned against her husband's chest and sighed, "That's all we can do, but I feel so stifled."

Just then, the phone in the living room rang.

Liang Yuemin patted his wife on the back, walked over, and answered the phone: "Hello? Who is this?"

A soft yet somewhat urgent female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Liang? It's me, Xuanxuan!"

Liang Yuemin frowned almost imperceptibly, then adopted a polite tone: "Oh, it's Miss Xuanxuan. Is there something you need?"

"Mr. Liang, I'm sorry to bother you, but I still want to ask about Mr. Chen..."

Xuanxuan's voice carried a hint of urgency: "I heard that Boss Chen has already returned to the mainland? Did he...did he leave his contact information?"

"Or, could you ask him if he's interested in opening a store together? Or maybe he could invest in developing beverages in mainland China?"

"I'm open to investing; we can discuss the size and location! I'm very sincere!"

Liang Yuemin knew perfectly well that this female celebrity wasn't simply looking for a collaboration; her true intentions were clearly elsewhere.

He chuckled and said, "Miss Xuanxuan, I appreciate your kindness."

"However, Fu Gui is a free spirit and not very interested in business. He basically leaves the affairs in Hong Kong to me and Manager Sun."

"He came back this time to spend time with his family. He's probably busy taking care of his big family right now, so he probably doesn't have the mind to talk about any cooperation."

"That's it..."

Xuanxuan's voice clearly fell silent, but she was still unwilling to give up.

"Then...when will he come to Hong Kong Island again? Or, I could visit him on the mainland..."

"I'm not too sure about that. Fugui is quite free-spirited."

Liang Yuemin's tone remained polite, but carried a clear sense of refusal: "Miss Xuanxuan, I think we should put the cooperation on hold for now."

"Let's talk about it another time, okay?"

Before the other party could say anything more, Liang Yuemin politely hung up the phone.

"Is it that Xuanxuan again?" Liu Yinhuan asked.

"Hmm." Liang Yuemin shook his head helplessly: "This girl is really persistent. She even followed me all the way to the mainland? She's quite well-informed."

"They even told me they wanted to invest in the development of beverages in mainland China..."

"What do you mean by 'investing'? She clearly wants to be invested in by Fugui."

"Bah bah bah..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinhuan's face immediately turned red, and she came over and pinched him: "Shut up, I knew it, you didn't learn anything good from those Hong Kong bosses."

"Hey, don't pinch me, don't pinch me! A man who isn't a bit of a playboy in his youth is wasting his life."

Liang Yuemin hid and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, you're middle-aged already, still calling yourself a boy? It's fine to call someone as rich and noble a boy."

"However, I must say, it seems that our wealth and status are truly quite attractive."

Liu Yinhuan's gloom was somewhat relieved by the phone call, and she said with a hint of sarcasm, "It's a pity that Fugui only cares about Susu and the children. Her efforts are probably in vain."

"Who says it isn't?"

Liang Yuemin walked back to the sofa and sat down: "But it's good, with this bit of scandalous news to distract us, their little tricks over there won't be so noticeable."

“Otherwise, Fugui has many friends in Hong Kong, and I’m afraid he might hear about it…”

"I'll have Mom tell him tomorrow that I'll have Fugui call us. We won't talk about these worries, just chat about everyday things, and I'll mention the female celebrity's investment as a joke."

"Sure, but you don't need to tell Mom. Just call Zhang Lihua. He has a cell phone and went back to the village with Fugui," Liu Yinhuan reminded her.

"Yes, yes, look at my brain..."

Liang Yuemin slapped his forehead, then couldn't help but complain, "Fugui should get a cell phone too. He's the second boss of our company, after all. It's not right for him not to have one."

"He's just afraid of being disturbed sometimes, so he avoids any peace and quiet if he can. Anyway, if you need to find him in an emergency, you'll definitely find him eventually..."

Liu Yinhuan said, both amused and exasperated, "That's the only bad thing about Chen Ling."

He's clearly very bright and has advanced ideas, but sometimes he just doesn't take the lead and seems unwilling to accept new technologies.

"Haha, in a few days we'll take Xiaoming back to Lingyun. I'll give him a phone, and then we'll see how he tries to hide."

Liang Yuemin said with a smile.

……

Chen Ling had already taken Zhang Lihua back to the village by this time.

They went to the greenhouse to see the geese's nest.

Then, on the grassy slope beside the stream outside the village, under the big tree outside Zhao Yubao's courtyard, he drank tea and chatted with a group of people.

"Fugui, is Hong Kong Island really as eerie as it's portrayed on TV? Are the buildings terrifyingly tall?" Wang Laishun clicked his tongue and asked curiously.

"The buildings are quite tall, there are many cars, and it's really lively."

Chen Ling described with a smile: "But after a while, it gets noisy. It's much quieter here, and it's even comfortable to breathe."

"That's right, there's no place like home!"

While cracking walnuts with a small iron hammer, Zhao Yubao laughed and said, "I heard you opened a restaurant over there? Business is booming?"

"It's alright, it's mainly because my friends helped out."

Chen Ling said, "It's a barbecue restaurant, not much different from the one Sun Yanhong runs in the city, but it's more suited to the tastes of people from Hong Kong Island."

"Haha, you're something else, you can always make a fuss wherever you go..." Wang Laishun patted Chen Ling's shoulder hard, feeling proud of him.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, Zhang Lihua's phone rang.

He took it out, listened for a couple of minutes, and then handed it to Chen Ling: "Ah Ling, it's Boss Liang on the phone!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling quickly took the phone: "Hello, Brother Yuemin, are you done with work in the city?"

"You're done with your work. How are you doing? Did you get those cattle back? Everything went smoothly, right?"

Liang Yuemin's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Successfully, those bison were taught a lesson by Afu and Ashou, and they're quite well-behaved now. There are too many things at home that can control them, so they don't dare to lash out."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "When are you coming back? I didn't have time to visit Xiaoming in the city last time. He's staying there alone, and I still feel bad about it..."

"He's doing great, very resilient, but he said he misses his uncle and Rui Rui. I'm planning to pick him up with your sister-in-law next week..."

Liang Yuemin said in a relaxed tone: "I'm calling today because there's a small matter I want to tell you. Someone has contacted me."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"That female celebrity, Xuanxuan, remember her?"

Liang Yuemin said with a smile, "I don't know where she found out you were back in the mainland. She just called me again, trying to get your contact information indirectly."

“The young lady even said she wanted to invest in our store, and even wanted to cooperate to open ‘Fugui Mountain Villa’ in more places.”

"She even talked about investing, saying she has a deep pocket and lots of resources... Her enthusiasm is just irresistible."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling was both amused and exasperated: "My goodness, why are you bringing this up again?"

“I’ve already gone back to my hometown, why is she still haunting me? Please don’t give her my address.”

"Don't worry, would I be able to do that?"

Liang Yuemin laughed: "I just wanted to tell you how charming you are, that people have even followed you all the way to the mainland, haha!" "Come on, I'll save my charm for Susu and my dogs."

Chen Ling quickly distanced himself: "Let's not even talk about cooperation. We're fine as we are now. Taking too fast will only lead to trouble."

“You firmly refused for me, saying that I have no interest in this and that she should look for something better.”

"Understood! Execute the order without fail!"

Liang Yuemin joked, "Just stay in your mountain villa and be the king of the mountain. I'll fight for you."

Hearing this, Chen Ling felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Yuemin, you've worked hard these past few days."

"We're brothers, no need to be so polite. By the way, everyone was asking about the bison, how's Little Blue Horse? Is his injury alright?"

"It's alright, it's just a bit restless. I mixed some herbs into its feed. The injury is not a problem, but it's definitely a bit frightened. I estimate it will recover in a couple of days."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll contact you if anything comes up. Please give my regards to Uncle Cunye and Auntie."

On the other end of the phone, Liang Yuemin's voice was tinged with laughter, and Chen Ling responded repeatedly.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they hung up.

Looking up, I met Zhang Lihua's eyes, which were incredibly bright and filled with gossip and amazement.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhang Lihua stroked his chin, shook his head, and made exaggerated clicking sounds:

"Ah Ling, Ah Ling, I'm completely impressed by you."

"When we were in Hong Kong, Miss Xuanxuan was incredibly enthusiastic and proactive. She called my home and came to my door... But you remained unmoved and turned around and ran back to your hometown."

"And what happened? They actually tracked him all the way to the mainland, even calling Boss Liang..."

"Boundless charm, boundless charm indeed!"

"It makes me, a middle-aged man, quite envious."

Chen Ling was both amused and exasperated by his affected manner and handed the phone back to him: "Brother Hua, please stop teasing me."

"What charm or not? I'm just a farmer from the countryside, how could I dare to get involved with a big star?"

"Troublesome, so troublesome."

"Trouble? This is no trouble at all, this is a blessing that many people would rather die for!"

Zhang Lihua winked and made faces, but her voice unconsciously became a little louder.

This attracted the attention of Zhao Yubao, who was cracking walnuts nearby, Wang Laishun, who was holding a teacup, and several other villagers who were sitting or standing under the tree. They all pricked up their ears and focused their eyes on this scene.

"What good fortune? Who's got good fortune with women?"

Wang Laishun, with his sharpest ears, immediately perked up and took two steps closer, holding his teacup.

"Fugui, what's new? Tell me about it!"

Zhao Yubao also stopped what he was doing, adjusted his reading glasses, and looked over with a smile: "Oh, Fugui, judging from this, there's another story going on in Hong Kong?"

Although Professor Zhong did not speak, his eyes revealed a look of great interest.

Seeing this, Chen Ling felt a chill run down his spine and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhao, don't listen to Brother Hua's nonsense. It's just a business matter. Someone wanted to cooperate, but I turned them down."

"Oh... you rejected it."

Zhao Yubao drew out his words, his eyes sweeping between Chen Ling and Zhang Lihua, clearly disbelieving.

Several other villagers joined in the commotion:

"That's right, Fugui, you're the face of our village now, so share any good news with everyone!"

"Is it that another Hong Kong boss has taken a liking to your skills and wants to recruit you as his son-in-law? Haha!"

"I bet it is! With his physique, looks, and abilities, Fugui would be a hot commodity anywhere!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lihua was eager to stir up trouble.

He deliberately cleared his throat, lowering his voice while ensuring that everyone around him could hear him:
"Fellow villagers, you have no idea."

"We have a very beautiful and famous female celebrity in Hong Kong named Jessica Hsuan. She's young, beautiful, and her family is rich!"

As soon as he said that, Zhao Yubao immediately chimed in:
"Xuanxuan? My daughter-in-law and the others love to watch her. Oh my, she's such a beauty!"

Professor Zhong also said, "Yes, yes, that's her! My daughter-in-law still has a poster of her in her room!"

Seeing that she recognized two of the professors, Zhang Lihua became even more enthusiastic:
"It's her! This big star met our Ah Ling in Hong Kong, and well, well, how can I put it into words?"

He thought about the customs and habits of the rural areas in the interior.

"Oh right, opera, just like in the plays, it was love at first sight."

"They were calling and wanting to visit in person, they were incredibly enthusiastic!"

"Look, now that they know Ah Ling has returned to the mainland, they've been calling Boss Liang, saying they want to invest in Ah Ling's business and even open a shop together. Anyone with eyes can understand what they mean!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion erupted under the tree.

"My goodness! A big star is pursuing our Fugui?!"

"Fugui, you've got some nerve! If this were the old days, wouldn't this be equivalent to being targeted by a rich heiress from Hong Kong?"

"It's not just that they've taken a liking to someone; judging from what Boss Zhang is saying, they're practically throwing themselves at him!"

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, a mix of amazement, envy, and playful banter that instantly livened up the atmosphere.

Several younger men of Chen Ling's generation or slightly younger had their eyes shining, their faces filled with envy and excitement.

It's as if they themselves are the ones favored by the big stars.

A boy named Sanwa, who was about half a year old, was Chen Ze's cousin.

He was always fond of joking, and now he squeezed to the front, winking at Chen Ling and deliberately speaking in an exaggerated tone:

"Uncle Fugui, if you ask me, you've really brought honor to the Chen family!"

"If this were back in the old days, with your looks and skills, and if you were so favored by a rich young lady from Hong Kong... oh no, a big star, you could definitely marry another 'Hong Kong concubine'!"

"If word gets out, our whole village will be proud!"

"Hahahaha!"

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"What Sanwazi said... although it was a joke, there's actually a bit of old-fashioned truth to it!"

"That's right, Fugui, you've really hit the jackpot with love, and you've hit the jackpot with love!"

When Chen Ling heard the words "Hong Kong Island concubine" and saw that everyone's talk was getting more and more outrageous and their laughter was getting louder and louder, his heart skipped a beat.

He first glared at Zhang Lihua, the instigator, with an annoyed look, but Zhang Lihua shrugged and looked on with an innocent and amused expression.

Then, Chen Ling quickly waved his hands at Chen Sanwa and the other people who were egging him on, his expression becoming more serious:
"Go away! Sanwazi, you brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"What kind of era is this, talking about concubines? What kind of talk is this? It's unbelievable!"

"Let me tell you, don't spread these rumors anymore. It's all baseless, and you've added fuel to the fire. If Susu hears this, she'll make a scene!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

But none of them were angry.

Instead, they were all suppressing their laughter.

They were all in the village and knew what kind of temper Wang Susu had, so how could they dare to cause trouble with Chen Ling?
Actually, it's all because Chen Ling loves his wife.

Chen Ling couldn't bear to see his wife upset; if she shed even a tear, he would definitely make her pay.

They admired Chen Ling, but also found him amusing.
"Alright, Uncle Fugui, I'll slap myself and pout at you. Your aunt won't blame you."

"Everyone knows you don't even look at women when you go out, you only play with dogs..."

These words made everyone burst into laughter again.
