Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 111: The Successful Cultivation of Sixty-Eight Plants - The Sparrow Turns into a Phoenix (5)

"No need for you to say, I’ll protect Feng Xuxu just fine. I hope the person I like won’t encounter any accidents, right?" Raising an eyebrow, undaunted by Xiao Chen’s look, he continued to say so self-assuredly.

With a cold laugh, Xiao Chen said, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

"As the saying goes, those close to the water get the moon first, but proximity doesn’t necessarily breed affection."

"Dream on!" Then, in the blink of an eye, he had flown far away with Di An.

After watching Xiao Chen leave, Jueqing also stood up and returned to the villa.

Feng Xuxu was eating breakfast absent-mindedly, "Xuxu, what’s wrong with you? Your eyes are all swollen up?"

"It’s nothing, big brother. I just didn’t sleep well last night, I’ll take a nap later."

"Okay, then. It’s been cold lately, make sure you rest more."

"Miss, Shopkeeper Fo has arrived. He’s loading the grain in the front courtyard. The butler asked you to go over." The butler sent someone to inform the miss, who happened to run into Baihe on the way and told her before running back to continue loading the grain.

"Okay, big brother, I’ll go first. You should also take care to keep warm when you’re out in the fields." Seeing her big brother wearing only a thin coat, she advised with concern.

"I know, don’t worry, I’m tough as an ox," Feng Xi chuckled a few times, exaggerating his movements.

Feng Xuxu couldn’t help but laugh, shook her head, and walked away with Baihe.

"Is everything loaded up?" Feng Xuxu arrived at the backyard and saw carriage after carriage heading out, apparently having been there for a while.

"Lass, what happened to your eyes?" Fo Yaobang asked in surprise. They were fine yesterday, but how did they become like this today?

"I didn’t sleep well last night, drank too much water, and today they’re like this." Pouting, she squinted through the tiny slit left in her eyes at Fo Yaobang.

"Sigh, you lass, go rest up well when you get back, and by the afternoon it should be better," Fo Yaobang sighed.

"Okay. Let’s go sign the contract then. I just finished writing it last night. Take a look at it again."

"Okay, great, I’ve brought my seal too. Let’s get this contract signed today." He cheerfully followed Feng Xuxu to the study.

"Fo, if there are no problems with it, let’s sign," she handed him a contract and had Baihe pour water for both of them. Then she waited for Fo Yaobang.

After half a stick of incense’s time, Fo Yaobang had read it twice, finding no issues. He took out his seal, stamped it, then signed his full name, Fo Yaobang, on the side.

Feng Xuxu received it, stamped her seal on the other side, and signed her own name. Finally, the contract was signed.

"Hahaha, Xuxu, it seems we are fated to work together. Ever since you started planting rice, I wanted to partner with you. But I never expected that incident to happen, leading to nothing. Now, half a year later, I’ve finally managed to make this deal with you." Thinking back, he had really wanted to cooperate with Feng Xuxu, but alas, what a pity about those rice plants.

"Fo, you mean to say that after everything, it wasn’t about taking me as your niece; it was my family’s grains you had your eye on, huh? Xuxu here is not pleased," Feng Xuxu said, recalling how Fo Yaobang had come to deliver grains that morning, already hoping to cooperate with her back then.

Hahaha, "Alright, I’ll treat our great niece to lunch at noon, how about that?" Fo Yaobang laughed loudly and patted his thigh. He hadn’t expected to end up dealing with a tough negotiator.

"No need, I’ll go complain to my aunt someday," Feng Xuxu said with a teasing smile.

"That’s the spirit! When the time comes, I’ll have your aunt cook some of her best dishes, invite a few of your brothers over, and let’s all get together and liven things up," he thought happily. Perhaps his eldest son, who was not yet engaged, might just hit it off with her. The more he thought about it, the happier he became.
