The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Shen Xuening looked around and saw a huge plum orchard. If she couldn't sell them, the losses would be enormous. "May I pick a few to try?"

Fourth Uncle immediately said, "Sure, feel free to try as much as you like."

Shen Xuening walked towards the plum grove, picked a few plums from the plum trees, and then took a bite.

She took a bite, and her face scrunched up from the sourness. She quickly spat it out, saying, "Why is it so sour? It looks perfectly cooked!"

Uncle Si looked worried: "We don't know either. We used the same fertilizer and managed the same things as last year. We don't understand why it's so different this year."

Shen Xuening placed the remaining plums in Shen Baohong's hand: "You eat them." She couldn't eat anymore; they were too sour, and she couldn't swallow the sourness.

Shen Baohong took a bite out of curiosity, then spat it all out, saying, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." "The skin looks yellow, why is it so sour?"

He forced the remaining two plums into Wen Cheng's hand, but Wen Cheng secretly threw them away; he couldn't eat them either.

Wen Cheng asked, "President Shen, do you have a way to help?"

Shen Xuening said, "Go to the fertilizer factory right away and buy a batch of fertilizer. Bury it next to the trees, then water it thoroughly and give it a try."

Uncle Si asked expectantly, "Is this okay?"

Shen Xuening wasn't sure either, after all, this year's plums were really unusual: "Go try it, if it works, the plums will taste better the next day."

Uncle Si was now desperate and, with nothing to lose, decided to try anything: "Okay, I'll go buy it right now."

Shen Xuening said, "Let's try it first, and I'll check back tomorrow."

Fourth Uncle replied, "Okay."

Shen Xuening then left with Shen Baohong.

Wencheng stayed here to help his fourth uncle with the work. He would feel bad if he didn't save so many plum trees.

On the way back——

"Will applying fertilizer really help?" Shen Baohong was a little worried. He still hoped to save so many plums.

"Let's give it a try." Shen Xuening didn't want to talk more, after all, she didn't know either.

Shen Baohong turned to look at Shen Xuening: "You don't seem very confident?"

Shen Xuening said, "No, I was thinking about visiting the elderly in the nursing home. They gave me so many gifts, and I need to go back and see them. Also, there are a few elderly people who are good at embroidery that I want to recruit to help them with embroidery, and learn some techniques to pass on the culture."

Everyone's probably tired of seeing the same old farming videos, so let's show you something fresh and interesting. It'll also help pass on some culture, killing several birds with one stone.

Shen Baohong asked, "So when do you plan to go?"

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "Let's go tomorrow."

As they were talking, Shen Xuening's phone beeped with a message notification. She looked at it and saw that it was a gift list for the elderly in the nursing home sent to her by her staff.

With this list, she could follow the clues.

Shen Baohong leaned over to take a look: "You've come at just the right time. I'll go back and get ready. I'll drive there first thing tomorrow morning."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Okay."

……

The next morning, Shen Baohong drove his car to his doorstep: "Xue Ning, get in the car."

Shen Xuening sat in the passenger seat: "Let's go."

Shen Baohong started the car and drove off smoothly. The beautiful scenery outside the car window passed by one by one, and soon they arrived on the county road, getting closer and closer to the nursing home.

Shen Xuening was on the phone, one call after another, her business was very busy, and she was also holding a tablet in her hand. After finishing the calls, she had to deal with other matters. As her business grew bigger and bigger, she became busier and busier.

The phone call she just made was to Ye Hongwei. The medicinal herbs Qin Yaoyao bought for the second time had been delivered and she needed his help to process them.

Ye Hongwei said he would come over immediately.

Shen Xuening told him not to rush, and to call Qin Yaoyao when he arrived. Qin Yaoyao would take him to the place where the medicinal herbs were processed.

Ye Hongwei said he understood and then drove over.

Just after finishing her call, Zhang Qianwen called Shen Xuening again: "Xuening, those cherries are so delicious, send me another hundred boxes right away."

Shen Xuening was surprised: "A hundred boxes?"

Zhang Qianwen urged, "Yes, they're selling so well! The thirty boxes you brought me yesterday sold out in half a day. Hurry up, don't tell me you don't have any left."

Shen Xuening said, "If you want a hundred boxes, I can only deliver them to you the day after tomorrow. We can't harvest that many."

Zhang Qianwen paused for a moment: "The day after tomorrow is fine too, but hurry up."

“Okay, I’ll call them and tell them to prepare more.” Shen Xuening hung up the phone and then called the leader of the farming team, asking him to harvest seventy more boxes.

Zhang Qianwen had just hung up the phone when her mother called again: "Qianwen, are you busy?"

Zhang Qianwen asked, "You're not busy right now, what's up?"

Mrs. Zhang said excitedly, "Prepare ten gift boxes of those cherries for me. I'll take them as gifts. They're so delicious, much better than the ones they send me."

Zhang Qianwen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare it for you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qianwen sighed helplessly. "See? Even a hundred boxes might not be enough. I should have ordered two hundred."

Shen Xuening received a call from Qin Dandan, whose voice was filled with excitement: "Sister-in-law, when are you coming to City A?"

Shen Xuening had a premonition: "What's wrong? Has there been a breakthrough in skincare products?"

Qin Dandan said excitedly, "Yes, we've developed a facial cleanser using ancient methods. Everyone is using it now, and the results are excellent. Everyone's faces are much whiter and cleaner, a change that's visible to the naked eye. Next, we're going to research toner."

Shen Xuening said, "I won't come over. Just send me the face wash. I'll come over once the whole set is finished."

Qin Dandan said, "Okay, I'll send it to you in a bit."

"Okay." Shen Xuening couldn't help but be happy; she had finally heard good news.

Shen Baohong asked, "What's making you so happy?"

"We've finished developing the facial cleanser." Shen Xuening looked forward to it. "You can try it out with me when it's ready."

Shen Baohong said, "Okay, but my skin is already pretty good, so even if it's good, you probably won't be able to tell. Why don't you find a few fans with bad skin to try it out?"

Shen Xuening was enlightened: "Good idea." Then she called Cao Wenyu and asked Cao Wenyu to contact ten fans who had time but had bad skin to try the facial cleanser.

Cao Wenyu said he would guarantee to complete the task within three days.

Shen Xuening looked at Shen Baohong: "Your ideas are still as good as ever."

Upon hearing that Shen Xuening needed ten people with time but bad skin, fans enthusiastically signed up, and in the end, ten fans with particularly bad skin were selected.

Shen Baohong raised his eyebrows: "That's right, from now on, just say I'm your strategist."

Shen Xuening casually replied, "Okay, I'll come to you whenever I need any ideas."

Shen Baohong readily agreed, "Okay, I'll do my best to help you."

……

nursing home.

Upon seeing Shen Xuening arrive, all the elderly residents of the nursing home became excited and immediately surrounded her, smiling and talking non-stop.

"Ningning, it's so good to see you. I haven't seen you in so long."

"Ningning, I miss you so much. I thought I would never see you again, but I didn't expect you to come and see us in person."

How was your Dragon Boat Festival?

Words of concern lingered in Shen Xuening's ears, warming her heart: "You're doing well, how about you? I brought you some zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), have you eaten them?"

"I ate it. The rice dumplings you brought are so delicious, much better than the ones my family brings."

"And salted duck eggs, I especially love them. They're so delicious when eaten with porridge."

"I ate two zongzi in one go. The meat inside was so tender that it melted in my mouth, and it was so fragrant and delicious."

Shen Xuening said, "I'm glad you like them. I'll send you some more after a while. You can also tell me what else you need and I'll send it to you."

At that moment, the dean arrived: "President Shen."

Shen Xuening greeted the dean: "Hello, Dean, excuse me."

"Not at all, not at all. We welcome you very much." The director smiled like a Buddha. Ever since Shen Xuening started helping the nursing home, he had felt much more relaxed. "I just wonder what brings you here, Ms. Shen?"

Shen Xuening said, "I came to see Grandma Zhang Shufen. The purse she embroidered for me is especially beautiful, and the pattern is also very special. I would like to ask her to come to my place and embroider clothes for me."

The dean asked in surprise, "Zhang Shufen can embroider clothes?"

Shen Xuening said, "I don't know. All I see now is the purse she embroidered for me. I need to ask her to know."

“Zhang Shufen has been picked up by her family, but she should be brought back soon. You’ll have to wait a bit.” After saying that, the dean added, “I’m going to make a phone call. She’ll be very happy if she knows you’re here to see her.”

Shen Xuening said politely, "Then I'll have to trouble the Dean."

"It's alright." The dean waved his hand and went to the side to make a phone call.

Upon hearing that Shen Xuening was looking for her, Zhang Shufen said she would come back immediately.

Shen Xuening patiently sat down and chatted with the elderly men and women.

There are fewer elderly people in the nursing home now; they were probably all taken back by their families for the holidays, and now that the holidays are over, they're being sent back.

The dean kindly asked, "Xue Ning, would you like to have lunch here before you leave?"

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Shen Xuening nodded: "I'll have lunch with everyone, and then I'll go back."

"Okay, I'll go and have someone prepare right away." The dean seemed very enthusiastic and left with brisk steps.

“Ningning, even the dean was very happy to see you. Look at him, it’s been so long since I’ve seen him smile.”

"Ningning, you really have a lot of influence. The dean wouldn't even give the other people a second glance, but now the dean is personally arranging the meals. That shows how popular you are."

"It's so much better now that you're here to guide us. Life used to be so dull and lifeless, but it's much better now."

Shen Xuening comforted her, "Even when you get old, don't give up on yourself. We can still live a good life. If you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will help you."

"Ningning, thank you. If it weren't for you, we would have had an even harder time."
