Rebirth of a Village Girl-Chapter 1062 - 273: Gradual Change (Chapter Twenty-Two)

Wu Yanyun’s words were heavy, laced with a hint of accusation.

Once she formed an opinion of someone, everything that person did was wrong.

Yan Erju was stunned.

She just felt it was inappropriate to always dine at her classmates’ homes; she hadn’t expected Wu Yanyun to be angry again.

"Ah!" Yan Erju sighed helplessly.

Back in the room, Yan Erju said to Wu Jinshu, "Xiaoyun has changed!"

She felt she was becoming unrecognizable.

Wu Jinshu also sighed, "The child is grown up; she has her own thoughts now. Plus, I heard a teacher say today that children reach a certain age and enter a rebellious phase, which those educated folks call adolescence."

"Adolescence?" Yan Erju frowned, looking puzzled.

Wu Jinshu nodded, "Yes, adolescence, and I’ve also heard that teenagers in adolescence are not easy to manage! Some even go down the path of crime during this time, nearly every family deals with situations like this."

At this point, Wu Jinshu paused, then continued, "In the future, let’s be a bit more relaxed with Yanyun, not question everything, and allow the child some personal space."

Although Wu Jinshu was not literate and had a low level of education, he was a rare good father.

He could tolerate all his child’s flaws.

Yan Erju continued, "Adolescence, my foot! Where do these absurd theories come from? Why didn’t I have an adolescence when I was young?"

"Maybe you’ve forgotten," Wu Jinshu said.

Yan Erju sighed, "So when does this adolescence phase end?"

Wu Jinshu shook his head, "I’m not quite sure about that."

Yan Erju went on, "But what if she’s in adolescence all her life?"

"A lifetime of adolescence?" Wu Jinshu laughed, "Erju, don’t worry. Although I don’t know when adolescence will end, it definitely won’t last a lifetime."

During this period, Wu Yanyun almost went riding motorcycles with Wei Haoguang every day after school and gradually learned to drink; late returns home had become the norm.

Her parents in the Wu Family still believed she was studying at a classmate’s house.

In mid-February, Li Yao returned from Shanghai.

During this time, Li Yao had already arranged the store affairs in Shanghai. This trip, she was coming to transport the Ice Muscle Jade Skin products back to Shanghai.

Li Yao hired a large truck for the job directly.

Seeing this truck, Ni Yang chuckled, "Sister Yaoyao, how much Ice Muscle Jade Skin are you planning to haul back?"

Li Yao said, "Beautiful, just get me the stock; however much it is, I can sell it out!"

Through her promotion, Ice Muscle Jade Skin had already gained high popularity among the circles of ladies and socialites.

Ni Yang laughed, "I just shipped a batch to M Country recently, and with the recent sales, our stock is not much now."

"How can this be?" Li Yao frowned slightly and continued, "Don’t you have a large factory now? Can’t keep up with the demand?"

Ni Yang went on, "The factory won’t be finished for another half month; I estimate it can only start operating at the beginning of next month."

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Li Yao looked at Ni Yang with a face full of disappointment, "I thought the factory had already started operating!"

"That’s not so fast," Ni Yang continued, "But Sister Yaoyao, don’t be disappointed. Although we don’t have a lot in stock right now, it’s still enough for you to sell."

"How much is there?" Li Yao asked.

"Come with me to have a look," Ni Yang led Li Yao to the warehouse.

The warehouse was filled with piles of Ice Muscle Jade Skin, all very fresh, having been produced only recently.

Li Yao continued, "This isn’t even enough for two days’ sales."

Ni Yang went on, "Limited editions are sold only at the beginning and end of the month. Including the basic ones, it should be enough for you until next month. Just hang in there for a while, and it’ll be fine once the factory starts."

"Alright, that’s the only option now," Li Yao nodded, "By the way, Yangyang, how much for these?"

Ni Yang clicked on her abacus, "Fifty-seven thousand in total."

"Okay, I’ll transfer it to your account from the bank when I get back."

Trust the doubtful, doubt the trusted; Ni Yang nodded, "Okay." Then Ni Yang added, "Has Sister Jiaojiao arrived in Beijing?"

"She, well, she’ll probably take a little while longer."

After loading the goods, Ni Yang joined Li Yao for a meal at the Fragrant Beauty Restaurant.

Li Yao devoured three desserts in one go and sighed lightly, "Oh my! I’m so satisfied! During my time in Shanghai, all I could think about was the delicious food from ’Beijing Beauty’. Now I’ve finally had my fill! I wonder when the boss of ’Beijing Beauty’ plans to open a branch in Shanghai!"

When Ni Yang had originally founded ’Beijing Beauty’, she had never thought about turning it into a cheap chain of restaurants.

She wanted ’Beijing Beauty’ to be a legacy, to become a major landmark of Beijing.

It was better to have a scarcity than an excess. If ’Beijing Beauty’ could be found everywhere, it would lose its original business philosophy.

Moreover, even without opening branches, the daily turnover at ’Beijing Beauty’ was still impressively high.

Ni Yang smiled and asked, "Sister Yaoyao, do you really like the food from ’Beijing Beauty’ that much?"

Li Yao nodded, "Of course! ’Beijing Beauty’ has the most delicious food I have ever tasted!"

Ni Yang smiled and took a bite of a duck tongue.

The 18th day of the second lunar month was Mo Baichuan’s engagement day.

Mo Baichuan was Mo Qishen’s elder nephew, and Ni Yang was Mo Qishen’s girlfriend. With such an important occasion, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Ni Yang not to go.

In the morning, as soon as Ni Yang came downstairs, she saw Mo Qishen already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.

Little Ni Yun was sitting across from him.

Perhaps because Little Ni Yun had known Mo Qishen since she was young, she inexplicably liked Mo Qishen very much and treated this future brother-in-law just like a real brother.

"Mo Brother, why are you here so early?" Ni Yang asked Mo Qishen in surprise.

"Early? I’ve been waiting for you for over half an hour," Mo Qishen replied.

Ni Yang felt a bit embarrassed and touched her nose.

Although Mo Qishen was usually a bit scatterbrained, he was very proper at the Ni Family’s house. When Ni Yang was sleeping, he never stepped half a foot into her bedroom.

"Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?" Mo Qishen followed up with another question.

Ni Yang nodded.

"Sit here. I’ll dish up some food for you," Mo Qishen rose from his chair.

Watching Mo Qishen’s retreating figure, Ni Yang thought to herself that this man was far too comfortable here.

This was clearly her home, yet Mo Qishen behaved as if he was in his own place.

Soon, Mo Qishen returned with a bowl of white porridge and also held a boiled egg in his hand.

He calmly peeled the eggshell, placed the yolk in his own bowl, and gave the egg white to Ni Yang.

Ni Yang wasn’t picky with food, but she didn’t like the yolk of boiled eggs. Therefore, whenever Mo Qishen was around, he would eat the yolk. If Mo Qishen wasn’t there, Ni Yang wouldn’t eat the egg at all.

"Big sisters who are picky eaters won’t grow tall," Little Ni Yun winked at Ni Yang playfully.

Ni Yang smilingly said, "Your big sister isn’t picky, it’s just that your future brother-in-law loves egg yolks, so your sister gives them to him because I can’t bear to eat them."

"Really?"

Ni Yang nodded earnestly.

"You’re so nice to your brother-in-law! You’re the best, big sister!" Little Ni Yun exclaimed.

Ni Yang’s lips held a smile.

As the conversation ended, Little Ni Yun asked, "Big sister, are you happy now?"

Ni Yang nodded slightly, scooped a spoonful of white porridge into her mouth, and said, "It’s alright."

"Big sister, can I have some candy?" At this, Little Ni Yun held up a small finger, "Just one piece!"

Ni Yang shook her head with a smile, "Nope."

"Why not?" Little Ni Yun began shaking Ni Yang’s arm, pouting, "You’re the best, big sister!"

"That won’t work, your ’sugar-coated bullets’ are useless against your sister."

Little Ni Yun turned her head to Mo Qishen, "Brother-in-law..."

Mo Qishen turned to look at Ni Yang, "Looking at me is no use. Your sister is the boss here. I have to follow her lead."

Little Ni Yun’s mouth quivered and she burst into tears with a loud ’waah’!

"No candy means no candy, crying won’t change anything," Ni Yang added.

Little Ni Yun sobbed and sniffled, saying, "I... I... I like you so much, big sister, you... you really disappoint me!"

The poor little thing looked absolutely heartbroken.

Ni Yang found a tissue to wipe Little Ni Yun’s tears and said, "What did big sister tell you before? Eating candy is bad for your teeth. If you always eat candy, little bugs will grow on your teeth. They will slowly burrow into the inside of your teeth and eat them away. Then, our pretty Little Yunyun will have to eat only soft food, like porridge and noodle mush. If that happens, you won’t be able to eat delicious things like chicken, duck, fish, or big pancakes anymore."
