Cheng Yue thought she was thick-skinned, but she was still embarrassed by Zhao Xiangxiu's exaggerated expression, so she could only say, "I'm not that capable, I'm just lucky. I happened to make some food that people eat."

"Silly girl! This is real skill! What's the use of just being lucky? If you don't have real skills, you still won't be able to catch it. That's great! I'm really happy for you!"

Zhao Xiangxiu slapped Cheng Yue's hand heavily, the light in her eyes almost overflowing.

Cheng Yue used to be a coward and it made her feel depressed, but now that the family has been divided, things are getting better and better. She doesn’t know why, but she feels proud.

Perhaps it was because they both had the same evil mother-in-law and were both divided up. Cheng Yue was capable, and Zhao must have been furious.

She felt very happy when she thought about having a wicked mother-in-law who was so angry that she couldn't eat or sleep.

Cheng Yue didn't know why Zhao Xiangxiu was so happy, but she was touched by the fact that she sincerely wished for her well.

She is willing to help those who truly want her best.

Cheng Yue didn't elaborate on the business, and changed the subject: "I remember that Cuicui raised ducks very well. I liked to play with them when I was a child."

The original owner would not care about such things, but he heard Zhao Xiangxiu talking about it with the villagers a few times, so he had some impression of it.

Mrs. Wu was right. She didn't have enough manpower to raise chickens and ducks now. She planned to hire people in the village. Since she had to find people, she had to find reliable ones.

Liu Cuicui is a very suitable candidate. The girl has a good character and likes to raise ducks, except that she is a little young.

But it doesn’t matter. With five hundred chickens and ducks, it’s impossible for her to only look for one person.

Zhao Xiangxiu didn't know why Cheng Yue brought this up, and then said, "This child just likes this. Every day, besides digging wild vegetables, he drives ducks to the riverbank. He has a lot of patience."

After saying this, she felt both proud and distressed. Liu Cuicui has been a worry-free child since she was young. She never cried or made a fuss when she was little, and when she grew up, she always wanted to do something to supplement the family income. Following her useless mother, she has never enjoyed a single day of happiness.

Having said that, Cheng Yue didn't beat around the bush and directly talked about her plan.

"Sister Xiangxiu, I want to do breeding myself. I have already bought chickens and ducks. But there is not enough manpower at home. I want to ask Cuicui to help me raise chickens and ducks and pay her monthly wages."

"Oh, why bother paying her wages? This girl has to herd ducks every day anyway, so she can help you take care of it!"

Zhao Xiangxiu only listened to the second half of the sentence and didn't hear the first half. She thought, it's just raising ducks, so just raise them as a side job!

Cheng Yue emphasized again: "I bought not just one or two, but 500. I want to breed them, and there may be more later."

Zhao Xiangxiu was dumbfounded. The ox cart shook and she fell on her back. "Mom, how much did you say?"

Cheng Yue helped Zhao Xiangxiu up and said with a helpless smile, "Five hundred. You are so shocked. I'd better talk to Cuicui directly later."

Zhao Xiangxiu sat back down and calmed herself down. "Five hundred is too many. Cuicui is just a teenage girl. How can she handle such a big thing?"

This Cheng Yue, blame her for being so jumpy, not thinking about what she said, she could scare her to death once she opened her mouth, five hundred chickens and ducks, as if it was a joke.

And let Cuicui take care of it. How can a little girl do that? Cheng Yue really flattered them.

Chen Lin, who had been silent the whole time, opened his mouth and said, "Aunt Xiangxiu, Cuicui can do it! I know she has the ability."

Oh, you know it again?

Cheng Yue turned her head with a teasing look, which made Chen Lin's face blush. It's true that men cannot be kept when they grow up, so she started to protect them.

Chen Lin explained in a low voice, "A few days ago, she talked to her sisters about how to raise ducks. I heard that she was quite good..."

Cheng Yue: It’s better not to explain. What can someone who has never raised ducks hear?

Zhao Xiangxiu didn't think much about it and said casually: "Xiao Lin is a very honest child. She only has three or four of them, what can she say?

Sister Cheng Yue, I think we should just forget about this. It’s not that I don’t trust Cuicui, but she’s still young. It’s ok to raise a few, but she can’t take care of hundreds.”

Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said, "Then you and Cuicui come together to help me."

If you are young, then find an adult. He was just thinking about who to find, how come he forgot Zhao Xiangxiu? It’s just right that they came together. The two of them can work together without getting tired.

Zhao Xiangxiu refused again and again, "No, no, no, my head hurts when I hear the chickens and ducks quacking..."

What kind of excuse is this? Cheng Yue said sincerely: "Sister-in-law Xiangxiu, even if I don't ask you for this matter, I have to ask someone else. To be honest, I don't feel at ease leaving so many chickens and ducks to others.

Shuanzi and Zhuzi are old enough to get married, and you still want to push the money away? Don't you want to find a good marriage for your child?"

Every word Cheng Yue said touched Zhao Xiangxiu's heart. She was willing to hand over so many chickens and ducks to them and their mother. This showed such great trust!

She was just afraid that she would not be able to raise the child well and would let Cheng Yue down. How would she face it then?

Moreover, the marriages of her two sons had become a concern for her. Because she was poor, the people she inquired about were all unwilling to pay any attention to her. How could she possibly complain that the money was too much?

Zhao Xiangxiu was silent for a while, then said anxiously, "I'm afraid I won't do well. There are so many chickens and ducks. I've never seen them in my life.

But since you believe in us so much, we are willing to give it a try. If you think it doesn't work, we can find someone else. Is that okay with you?"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Sure!"

Then he remembered two things and said, "The wages cannot be determined yet. We have to wait until the shop opens.

There is no rush to raise chickens and ducks. These five hundred were not delivered together. I have to fence off a piece of land before that. I will tell you when everything is ready."

Zhao Xiangxiu took over the task, and she was no longer as nervous as before. She said jokingly, "Don't worry, don't worry. It doesn't matter how much the salary is, as long as it can provide us with food."

Cheng Yue’s current abilities were beyond her imagination, but she had an inexplicable feeling that holding onto her thighs would definitely be the right thing to do.

Not everyone has such a good opportunity, all she has to do is work hard.

People are trying so hard to help her, and if she doesn't live up to her expectations, all Cheng Yue's efforts will be in vain.

Just as she was thinking about it, the ox cart arrived at the village entrance. Seeing people standing in front of her, Zhao Xiangxiu got off the cart regardless of the fact that it was still moving.

Cheng Yue shouted at Chen Lin to stop the car, and said helplessly: "Get out, get out, or you might sprain your ankle and there will be no one to help me raise chickens and ducks."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't let the wages I've earned go to waste!"

Zhao Xiangxiu carried the basket on her back, said this, and then walked forward with such brisk steps that she seemed like she was a dozen years younger.

This is the feeling of being relieved of a heavy burden. The basket on your back feels light and weightless.

Cheng Yue looked at Zhao Xiangxiu who was running faster than an ox cart and shook her head and laughed.
