Li Qian laughed sarcastically, "Su Xiaowan, do you think you can get in touch with powerful people just by planting?"

“The people I introduced to the North Country are all local business tycoons, people you will never be able to meet in your lifetime!”

"Since you said we can't contact them, there's no need for that."

Seeing Su Xiaowan's indifferent expression, Li Qian was very unhappy.

"I won't talk to you. What knowledge can a country woman like you have? I'll talk to Beiguo!"

Xiao Beiguo came out of the kitchen with water droplets on his hands, which he casually wiped on his clothes.

"Xiao Wan, the soup is already cooking. I've talked to Dad, and he'll be watching the fire."

"Beiguo, I have something to tell you."

Li Qian trotted forward and said, "It's only been a short time since you had surgery on your stomach, and you're already doing these things. You're thinking too much about her."

"This is my home. It's normal for me to do this. What are you doing here?"

"Beiguo, I have a banquet with local businessmen tomorrow night. Come with me and I will introduce you to them. You are doing business, so if you get in touch with them more, you can expand your network."

"No, Xiaowan and I have something to arrange tomorrow night, so you can go by yourself."

Li Qian's face looked a little grim. "Beiguo, this is a rare opportunity. Your business has just started to pick up, and this is the time when you need connections."

"You don't need to worry about this. Xiaowan and I have our own ideas. If there's nothing else, just go back. We have to go out and do something, so we don't have time to greet you."

Xiao Beiguo refused bluntly, not bothering to consider what she would think.

"You...Su Xiaowan, are you going to watch him suffer and give up such a good opportunity?"

Li Qian was very unwilling, and for Xiao Beiguo's sake, she shamelessly went to ask for the invitation to the party.

"Well, that's what you said, and we don't need it."

Su Xiaowan took Xiao Beiguo's arm and said, "Let's go, Sister Ting is waiting for us to go over and do something."

"Okay." Xiao Beiguo didn't even look at Li Qian. He picked up the tools beside him and walked out.

Watching the two of them walking away chatting and laughing while ignoring her, Li Qian clenched her fists tightly.

After a while, she turned around and left unwillingly.

On the way to the vegetable garden, Su Xiaowan said, "There are so many things going on in the field these two days. We will not be at home tomorrow. I am afraid Sister Ting will be too busy to handle the farm work by then."

"Why don't we find a few villagers to help with the work for a day and pay them when the time comes."

Xiao Beiguo was also a little troubled. The banquet that Song Nancheng mentioned was undoubtedly a good opportunity for them.

"This may be a bit difficult. If it's unreliable, it will be even more troublesome if something goes wrong."

Su Xiaowan also thought of this, but greenhouse cultivation requires much more caution than breeding.

"Talk to Sister Ting later and see if she can ask her husband to help for a day."

"It can only be this way."

When the two of them arrived at the greenhouse, Su Ting was already busy.

"Xiao Wan, Beiguo, why are you here?"

"Sister Ting, I'm coming over to plant the vegetables in the field. There are still many more to plant later, so we have to plant them early."

"Hai Jiao, my brother and sister-in-law and I are working on it. Do you want to take a look? I taught them how to plant it according to the method you taught them before."

Su Xiaowan walked in and saw Zhang Haijiao also helping, chatting with Su Ting's sister-in-law while working.

"Xiao Wan, I don't have anything to do right now. I heard you were so busy, so I came over to give you a hand."

Zhang Haijiao spoke as she planted vegetables with a faint smile on her face.

Looking at the vegetable seedlings placed next to her, a large basket, they had almost been planted.

"Sister-in-law, you are heavy and it will be uncomfortable to squat all the time. It's better not to do it."

Su Xiaowan has also been pregnant. It’s almost five months now and her belly is quite big. It’s very uncomfortable for her to squat.

"It's nothing. I'm tired so I just get up to water the plants. Compared to when we first got married, this is nothing."

Zhang Haijiao had actually been pregnant with a child before, but conditions were not good at that time and life was very hard.

She was devastated by the fact that she was unable to raise the child even after giving birth to it.

"Sister Xiaowan, don't worry. Haijiao and I grew up together. She is in good health. If she feels unwell, we will ask her to go back."

"There are a lot of things to do in the fields these days. With her help, we can plant all the vegetables faster."

"You said we should plant them all. If we calculate the time, we should be able to finish planting them all by tomorrow."

Su Ting also nodded, "Xiao Wan, if you feel bad about it, I'll give your sister-in-law some wages later."

"Don't calculate it. If you calculate it by money, I won't help you." Zhang Haijiao waved her hands.

Su Xiaowan didn't insist, she just said, "Okay, then you can help me for the next two days. It just so happens that I have to attend a dinner party with Beiguo tomorrow afternoon, so I can only come in the morning."

"It's okay, you go." Zhang Haijiao agreed readily.

"Xiaowan, do you still need to put on makeup to attend the party?" Su Ting asked curiously.

"I don't have any makeup tools, so just wipe your face."

Although Su Xiaowan also put on makeup in her previous life, she didn't know how to do it at all, so every time she made herself look different, many noble ladies talked about it in private, which made Xiao Beiguo very embarrassed.

Despite this, Xiao Beiguo in his previous life did not despise her and did not take her with him.

"It's okay, you're beautiful without makeup." Xiao Beiguo said with a smile, the love in his eyes almost overflowing.

"That's right. Xiaowan has a pretty face and fair skin. We get darker when exposed to the sun, but she stays white no matter how much she gets exposed to the sun."

"Sister Ting, please stop teasing me. That's not true." Su Xiaowan felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Haijiao looked at the way Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan and teased, "If you weren't good-looking, would Beiguo always give in to you? Look at all the women in this village who are not bullied by their husbands. Only the good-looking ones are spoiled by their husbands because they are loved by them."

"Don't you think so, Beiguo?"

Xiao Beiguo felt a little embarrassed by what was said, but he did not deny it.

When I first saw Su Xiaowan, the reason I agreed to marry her was also because of her appearance.

Although he later felt very resistant because of her personality, he had to admit that he was still very satisfied with her appearance.

"Okay, let's stop making fun of them. It will make us embarrassed later."

Su Ting knew that Xiao Beiguo was thin-skinned.

Fortunately, no one talked about it anymore and they just worked and chatted at the same time.

We were busy until half past five, and it was getting dark, so everyone went home.

After lunch the next day, Su Xiaowan boiled some water and took a bath with Xiao Beiguo. They changed into the clothes Song Nancheng had brought.

When they came out, Xixi looked at them with her eyes wide open.

"Mom, Dad, are you going to be on TV? It's going to be so cool."

Su Xiaowan pinched her little face and kissed her, "Mom and Dad are going to attend a banquet. You will sleep with Aunt Zhaodi tonight."
