Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao had been waiting at home for quite some time. She didn't know what was going on with Lin An.
Just as Kang Xiaoqiao was thinking about whether she should go to the provincial capital, Lin An called.
Kang Xiaoqiao took the phone and laughed when she heard that it was Lin An's voice. "Brother Lin, you made me wait so long."
Hearing this, Lin An smiled and said apologetically, "Miss Xiaoqiao, I'm really sorry. I've been too busy recently and delayed this matter."
Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Sorry to trouble you, Brother Lin. I wonder if there's any good news?"
Lin An quickly replied, "There is, there is. I've found three or four families, some big and some small. You'll have to come and take a look yourself."
Hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao said happily, "Alright, then I'll enter the city as soon as possible in the next few days. Oh, right, Brother Lin, how's my second brother? Is he feeling better?"
Hearing this, Lin An smiled and said, "Much better. Where can he go now? He's so lively and he even went on a long journey with me."
When Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, she smiled and said, "Really? That's great. Thank you so much, Brother Lin. When I get to the provincial capital, I'll definitely treat you to a meal."
Lin An laughed heartily and said, "Haha, alright. Then I'll be waiting for you."
Then, he hung up the phone. This time, Kang Xiaoqiao finally revealed a smile on her face.
Kang Xiaoqiao had always called Lin An Uncle Lin, but that was just a joke. Now that they had become business partners, she naturally changed her words.
Then, she made a phone call and shouted at Kang Daqiao, "Sister, I'm going to the provincial capital tomorrow."
Kang Daqiao heard this and immediately shouted, "What? To the provincial capital? How can you go just like that?"
Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Lin found a few factories over there. I have to go take a look."
"Sister, prepare something for me. I'll send it over to the old lady."
Kang Daqiao heard this and immediately said, "Alright, I got it. I'll go prepare it now."
Early the next morning, a car from the ministry appeared in front of Kang Xiaoqiao's house. It was the same car that came with Kang Xiaoqiao's two little soldiers the last time.
Although Kang Xiaoqiao was happy to see it, sometimes she felt that it was inconvenient. It was not Kang Xiaoqiao's style to make a big fuss every time she went out. Ai, when would such a passive thing end?
However, she was not confused at all. After talking to the two soldiers, she filled the trunk with baskets of things.
Most of them were local specialties of the family, and Kang Xiaoqiao just wanted to take the things that she made for the old lady. She did not expect Kang Daqiao to be so practical. She made so many things that Kang Xiaoqiao broke out in a cold sweat.
"Big sister, are you going to empty our house?"
"It's not like the city doesn't have mushrooms and beans. What's the point of bringing them?"
"There's also this pickled vegetable. Forget about the spicy cabbage. It's fresh and delicious. They should like it, but the earth ring and the cucumbers, they know how to marinate them themselves--"
Kang Daqiao said as she took them, "There are some in the city, but don't you have to spend money to buy them?"
"We went to the mountains to pick these mushrooms. The beans were grown by our family, so we didn't spend much money. The pickled vegetables were made according to your method, and they're all delicious. The old lady and your aunt love you so much, so what's wrong with bringing more good things?"
"Oh, right, and the bacon--"
Kang Xiaoqiao was speechless. Well, Kang Daqiao was definitely being kind. She would sincerely repay the kindness of others.
She heard that the old lady and aunt treated Kang Xiaoqiao well, and they were usually grateful to each other. Otherwise, Kang Daqiao would be so stingy. Ahem, well, how could someone who cared so much for the family's wealth be willing to--
This time, it was really like plucking feathers from a rooster.
...
The journey was extremely smooth. At this moment, a hearty laughter came from the living room of the huge villa. An older old lady laughed and said, "Really? Who would criticize their own sister like that?"
Kang Xiaoqiao peeled an apple and took a bite. "How could it be fake?"
"You don't know. My sister is a person who knows how to live. A brick or a piece of wood in the house are all good. She wouldn't even throw them away."
"This time, she actually took the initiative to take out so many good things. If it's not bleeding, what is it?"
The old lady laughed and said, "You child, your sister is also a good child. A good child who knows how to live."
Kang Xiaoqiao said with pride, "That's right. My sister's cooking is good. Not only did she clean the house well, she also has a pair of skillful hands. This scarf of yours was personally taught by my sister to knit. She even knows how to make clothes."
"Grandma, when I learn it, I'll make it for you too."
The old lady said happily, "You child, I'm an old woman. What's different about what I wear? You don't have to make it for me. You have to save money and spend it slowly."
"Alright, it's been a tough journey. Go and rest early. You can go back after playing for a few more days."
Kang Xiaoqiao nodded with a smile and returned to her room.
Whoosh--
She was really a little tired. She made a few more calls and left early the next morning.
Seeing Kang Xiaoqiao leave in her car, first aunt slowly walked over. She looked at the old lady who was still watering the flowers and said, "Mom, Xiaoqiao has left."
The old lady nodded.
First aunt frowned and continued, "Mom, do you want me to talk to her? This child has been getting more and more wild recently. I'm afraid that Yichen doesn't know about this since she came over this time."
The old lady picked up the kettle and slowly straightened her body. She looked out the window and said, "Let's not get involved in the matter of the young couple."
First Aunt Liu Fengxia wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Seeing this, the old lady said, "If you have something to say, say it."
First Aunt Liu Fengxia pondered for a moment and whispered a few words into the old lady's ear.
The old lady's expression changed when she heard this. She looked at her and said, "Really?"
First Aunt Liu Fengxia nodded. "It's absolutely true. The news has been confirmed."
The old lady frowned. "Sigh... The family doesn't have any information in this area. Otherwise, why would we let outsiders take advantage of us?"
First Aunt Liu Fengxia heard this and thought for a moment before saying, "Mother, there is someone in our family who has some talent in this area."
The old lady continued to water the flowers, thinking that she was from the Liu family and not the Xia family. After a moment of silence, she said, "Let's try to get in touch with her first. This girl has an idea."
"Without our help, she can make a name for herself. It's not easy. Remember, if you can't make a deal, don't lose more than you gain."
Liu Fengxia nodded with a smile. Kang Xiaoqiao, who was in a hurry to meet Lin An, didn't know that her family was motivated by money and wanted to come over to take a share.
