The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

June Second, 1981

Chu Xiu woke up from her sleep again. On this day every year, she would dream that she was trapped in a flood, hit on the head by a sudden wooden board, and then sank into the water.

Just when she felt she was going to die, a hand reached out to her and rescued her from the water.

But she was already a little fuzzy, and she only saw that the person was a very beautiful girl with a pair of dimples and a small canine tooth.

"Auntie, are you okay?" After hearing this, Chu Xiu knew nothing.

Chu Xiu dreams of this scene every year. The feeling of suffocation and the relief after being saved bring her back to the world from hell.

She didn't know why she always dreamed about this. Was it a warning?

Although the scene took place many years later, Chu Xiu felt as if she were there.

"Xiu'er, are you dreaming again?" Hai Yitian woke Chu Xiu up from her nightmare.

Chu Xiu opened her eyes and looked at Hai Yitian in confusion.

"Why are you sweating so much? Did you dream about something scary?" Hai Yitian asked with concern.

Chu Xiu shook his head and said nothing.

Every year after having the dream, Chu Xiu would sweat profusely, just like coming out of the water.

"I'll make you something to eat later. You and Jingxing are going to the city today, and you'll probably be outside for another day." Chu Xiu said as he got up and put on his clothes.

"Liang Dong and Chai Lu, come with us. If we go and take a look together, we will have more people to give advice." Hai Yitian also turned over.

"Liang Dong is also a smart guy. Seeing us working with Jing Xing, he insisted on joining." Chu Xiu gathered her hair.

"It's because he pleases our daughter and Jiuer is also close to him that he has the opportunity to join." Hai Yitian said with some disdain.

"I heard that he initially wanted to adopt Jiuer as his daughter, but he gave up the idea because he already had two daughters," Chu Xiu said with a smile.

"There are many people who want to adopt Jiuer as their daughter, but Chai Lu and Tai Ranzhi haven't succeeded yet." Hai Yitian was a little proud.

"Jiuer is a clever little girl. Everyone would like her. Fortunately, we acted early, otherwise we would have no chance." Chu Xiu had an expression that said, "I have foresight."

"Haha! That's right. Chai Lu is a little crazy now. When he heard Jiuer calling me Hai Dad, he glared at me angrily. Haha! It pissed me off!" Hai Yitian laughed heartily.

"I heard that it was Fengzi who disagreed. At that time, she also disagreed with us adopting Jiuer as our goddaughter." Chu Xiu looked a little scared.

"What do you mean Fengzi disagrees? She can control Jiuer. It's Jiuer herself who disagrees." Hai Yitian's face was full of smug expression.

"Haha! Jiuer is still close to us." Chu Xiu's face was also full of pride.

Chu Xiu and Hai Yitian felt that adopting Hua Yan as their goddaughter was their best choice.

Liang Dong, Hua Yan's neighbor, has always liked Hua Yan, but he already has two daughters and cannot recognize his other daughter.

But he has always been very nice to Hua Yan, which is why Hua Jingxing is willing to take him to do business.

This year, Hua Jingxing wants to expand his business into the city. He already has a canning factory, a tofu skin factory, a pickle factory, a handicraft factory, and has also developed a pig farm and a chicken farm.

Although the scale is not large, it can meet the market of Huzhen, so he does not have to worry about sales.

After expanding his business to the city, Hua Jingxing also wanted to open a clothing factory and a leather shoe factory. These were Hua Yan's suggestions to him, and he would implement them unswervingly.

Liu Fengzi's medical center has been opened. Villagers no longer have to rush to the town if they have minor illnesses or accidents.

Hua Jingxing told Liu Fengzi that she only needed to take care of the medical point and not worry about anything else.

In order to have a good relationship with the village party secretary, Hua Jingxing has completely handed over the management of the tofu skin factory and the pickle factory to the village party secretary.

However, Hua Jingxing said: "Secretary, if we want to go long-term, we must ensure the quality of our products. No one in this village is more suitable for this job than you."

“Jingxing, don’t worry, product quality is the foundation of our survival, I understand.

I will make Shuanglou Village a well-known wealthy village. But you deserve half the credit for this." The village party secretary said with a smile.

The village party secretary gained a lot from working with Hua Jingxing. The whole village became rich and he was praised several times by the town leaders.

Hua Jingxing also praised him highly, saying that everything he did was the result of the strong support of the village party secretary.

One wanted benefits, the other wanted fame, and the two reached a win-win situation.

Today, Hua Jingxing and his three friends took Hua Yan and drove to the city.

Although Hua Yan is a child, she is the backbone of these adults.

Chai Lu held Hua Yan in his arms, Liang Dong followed beside them. Hua Jingxing and Hai Yitian felt pity for the two of them.

They flatter Hua Yan all day long, especially Chai Lu, who wants to adopt Hua Yan as his goddaughter, but Hua Yan says Liu Fengzi disagrees.

On several occasions, Chai Lu wanted to talk to Liu Fengzi, but was stopped by Hua Yan.

"Uncle Chai, don't worry. I will slowly work on my mother's ideas. Good things take time." Hua Yan gave Chai Lu a look that urged him to remain calm.

Hua Yan never agreed to Chai Lu because she found that Chai Juan was becoming increasingly unfriendly towards her.

"Uncle Chai, during the negotiations, you will be the vanguard. None of them are as good at speaking, so they can only let you slip through." Hua Yan thought about Chai Lu's advantages.

"Okay! Uncle Chai will listen to you." Chai Lu agreed to Hua Yan's requests.

Today they came to the city to buy a house facing the street. There is no bustling market on this street now, but in two months, it will be turned into a farmers' market.

Hua Yan saw this in the city annals, but she told Hua Jingxing that it was just another dream.

There was a two-story house for sale with a yard. It was the property returned to a capitalist after he was rehabilitated.

But the original owner had passed away in the catastrophe, and his relatives had fled abroad and didn't want to come back, so he wanted to sell the house as soon as possible.

This was discovered when Hua Jingxing brought Hua Yan here to investigate.

Hua Jingxing went back and discussed with his three good brothers and prepared to pool money to buy it.

Hua Jingxing and Chai Lu contributed the majority, while Hai Yitian and Liang Dong contributed the minority.

Soon they arrived at the house. The door was closed and there was no life around. There was no sign of a bustling market at all.

"Jiuer, are you sure it's here?" Chai Lu asked, looking at Hua Yan in his arms.

Hua Yan blinked her big eyes and nodded affirmatively.

Chai Lu looked at Hua Jingxing again, expecting a different answer.

Hua Jingxing also nodded affirmatively.

"Jingxing, is it okay here?" Chai Lu asked the question in his mind.

If it weren’t for Hua Yan’s dream, Hua Jingxing would never believe that this place would be a bustling market.

However, after many verifications, Hua Yan's dream had never failed, so Hua Jingxing chose to believe in Hua Yan unconditionally.

Ah! No, it was Hua Yan’s dream.

Although Hai Yitian and Liang Dong also had questions, they said nothing. Firstly, they knew nothing, and secondly, they could make money by following Hua Jingxing.

Chai Lu saw that he was the only one who had doubts, while everyone else looked determined, so he began to doubt his own ideas.

As they looked around, the door opened with a clang.

A man in his forties came out and looked at Hua Jingxing and the others.

“Ladies and gentlemen, who are you…” The man was not sure what these people were here for.

"Oh! Brother, I saw a for-sale sign on your door, so I came over to take a look out of curiosity." Chai Lu walked forward holding Hua Yan and greeted her.

"Do you want to buy it?" The man looked at these men who looked a bit unsophisticated, but the girl was quite pretty.

"Haha! I do have this idea." Chai Lu said with a smile.

"Twenty thousand dollars, can you come up with it?" The man's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Ah? Twenty thousand, isn't that a bit expensive?" Chai Lu and the others were a little surprised when they heard it.

Although they have made some money recently, twenty thousand is still an astronomical figure for them.

"Master, there are five wronged souls in this house. I told you last time, don't forget it." The voice of the Ringwraith Ball suddenly came to Hua Yan's ears.

Normally, the Ringwraiths rarely speak, but today, when they saw Hua Yan and the others came to see this house specifically, they spoke out to remind them.

"Then how much can you offer? If you can't offer my ideal price, there's no need to waste your time." The man looked very arrogant.

He was sure that these country folk couldn't afford it, so he didn't want to waste time and energy.

Hua Yan thought for a while, then leaned over and whispered a few words into Chai Lu's ear.

"Brother, can we go in and take a look? The price is fair." Chai Lu said with a smile.

"Okay, come in!" The man opened the door and let them in.

If it weren't for Hua Yan, the man really wouldn't dare to let four grown men in.

Hua Yan whispered in Chai Lu's ear for a long time. Chai Lu was stunned at first, frowned and looked at Hua Yan, then after listening to Hua Yan's words, he raised his brows and nodded.
