Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Luo Sihai Shows Off?
"Crouch down and take a close look, you can actually see how fast these seedlings are growing with your naked eye!" Chen Yuhe continued.
Li Shiyun, startled by Chen’s words, hurriedly squatted down beside her.
Ling Feng was sowhat speechless; these vegetables were supposed to grow rapidly anyway, what was there to be curious about?
However, seeing the three girls so enthusiastic, he didn’t interrupt and, noticing that the soil seed a bit dry, turned to find a hose and watered the vegetable bed again.
Afterward, he checked the ti and said to the three, "It’s already noon, aren’t you hungry?"
"Not hungry, no. We just had a cucumber and so tomatoes; our bellies are still full!" Chen Yuhe turned and replied with a smile.
Ling Feng, resigned, said, "If you aren’t hungry it’s fine, but you’re not planning to just sit here and watch, are you? Aren’t you afraid of getting sunburnt?"
"It’s okay, we’ve applied sunscreen!" replied Chen Yuhe cheerfully.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng shook his head, turned around to go back inside, and then returned with several stools. He also pulled over the sunshade net to cover the three of them.
The three girls didn’t say anything, feeling a warm sensation in their hearts seeing him so thoughtful.
Once Ling Feng sat down, Mo Jiaolan asked, "Who were the people from the Luo Family who ca?"
"One is called Luo Sihai, and the other is Luo Qianyu," replied Ling Feng.
"Is it them?"
Mo Jiaolan’s expression changed and she spoke with so surprise.
Seeing her reaction, Ling Feng’s mind stirred, "Do you know these two people?"
"I’ve seen them a few tis. Luckily I didn’t go out, or if they had seen , they might’ve connected a lot of dots," Mo Jiaolan said.
Seeing that she was still visibly shaken, Ling Feng imdiately felt uncomfortable and said, "Jiaolan, don’t worry, the Luos are used to throwing their weight around, but they can’t flaunt it here with !"
Mo Jiaolan’s face still showed concern: "These two are important figures of the Luo Family. Their personal visit to Shiliu Village shows how important the barren mountain to the west is to them!"
"That’s even better. Since I’ve already leased it, the more important it is to them, the more frustrated they’ll be! So close yet so unreachable, isn’t that infuriating?" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
The three were speechless and exchanged glances, each feeling worried deep down.
They all knew the Luo Family well; it was precisely for this reason that they felt Ling Feng’s actions were like an ant challenging an elephant, sowhat overestimating his capabilities.
But before they could discuss the implications with Ling Feng, Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe’s phones suddenly rang urgently!
Both of them checked their phones, their expressions growing complicated.
"What’s up?"
Seeing their faces, Ling Feng asked curiously.
Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe didn’t speak; they each answered the phone, spoke briefly, and then hung up.
"Our families are calling us ho," said Mo Jiaolan.
"Why? Do they know you two are in Shiliu Village?" asked Ling Feng.
"I’m not sure what’s going on, but our families definitely know Yuhe and I are here," said Mo Jiaolan, biting her lip.
"That’s not strange, we’ve underestimated that Luo Sihai. He must have seen Jiaolan’s car and figured out who the owner is from the license plate number!" suggested Li Shiyun.
Ling Feng looked astonished before finally saying, "Can he really do that?"
"There’s no other explanation," Li Shiyun nodded in agreent.
"Okay, credit to the guy. Jiaolan, Yuhe, are you planning to go back ho?" Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and then asked.
"We should head back, or else the family will co looking for us, and that would be even more troubleso!" Mo Jiaolan said.
Ling Feng, speechless, then said, "I’ll go back with you then, to avoid the Luo’s causing any trouble at your place!"
"No need!"
Mo Jiaolan and Chen Yuhe said in unison!
"You stay and take care of the vegetables at ho. If they can be harvested by morning, call
right away, and I’ll send a truck to transport them!" Mo Jiaolan instructed.
This was a plan they had previously agreed upon, as Ling Feng’s tricycle couldn’t carry enough weight. If the vegetables exceeded a thousand pounds, they would need another vehicle to transport them.
Ling Feng thought for a mont, "That’s fine, but rember to keep in touch with . If anything happens, call
right away!"
"Got it!" the two won replied.
Watching them drive away from Shiliu Village, Li Shiyun turned to Ling Feng and said, "Now you see the extent of the Luo family’s influence, don’t you?"
"What influence? Are you suggesting that Luo Sihai is using this thod to pressure ?" Ling Feng asked.
"Sothing like that. Even if it’s not his purpose, it shows a bit of a power display," Li Shiyun explained.
Ling Feng cracked a slight smile, "Doesn’t matter. I had already decided to take them on even before these people showed up. It would be rather dull if the Luo family didn’t stir up so trouble!"
Li Shiyun, at a loss for words, realized she couldn’t dissuade him. Thus, she secretly resolved to call her own family that evening, no matter what, to prevent Ling Feng from being disadvantaged.
Returning to the backyard, with nothing particular to do that afternoon, they both stayed in the vegetable garden.
Ling Feng noticed that the vegetables were particularly good at absorbing water. Despite having watered them thoroughly twice, the soil in the vegetable beds dried out quickly.
He eventually turned on the tap and controlled the water flow, continuously watering the plants.
Although it was sowhat costly in terms of electricity, compared to the profits brought by the rapidly growing vegetables, what was a little electricity bill?
Watching the tender sprouts grow light green leaves that then slowly unfurled and enlarged, both Ling Feng and Li Shiyun were thrilled.
After watching for a while, Ling Feng couldn’t help but ask, "How much do you think it would increase Jiaolan’s revenue if my vegetables were served at restaurants?"
"I’m not sure, but doubling it shouldn’t be a problem," Li Shiyun shook her head.
"If it’s only double, then that’s far from enough!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
"What? You already know about her current problem?" Li Shiyun caught the implication in his words and imdiately asked.
"Yeah, there are two more months, and thirty million in revenue to hit. On average, that ans at least half a million a day in sales!" Ling Feng nodded.
"That much?"
Li Shiyun, looking bewildered, calculated with her fingers, "Even if everyone spends a thousand at the restaurant, that’s still five hundred tables a day!"
"Hua County is not economically developed. People spending three to five hundred in a restaurant is already considered a lot. So, this task is nearly impossible to complete!"
"Yeah, now that I think about it, the Luo family must have done the math a long ti ago, knowing she would never be able to et the target!" Ling Feng nodded again.
Li Shiyun grew curious and looked at him, "So, what do you plan to do?"
"What can I do? The effort is up to us. I still have to co up with solutions. No matter what, I won’t let Jiaolan be wronged, to have her life’s happiness destroyed!" Ling Feng asserted confidently.
Hearing him say that, Li Shiyun suddenly fell silent.
It was a pity that Mo Jiaolan didn’t hear these words. Had she heard them, who knows how moved she would have been?
Having a man say such things for her, anything she did for him would be worth it!
Noticing the unusual expression on Li Shiyun’s face, Ling Feng looked at her and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Nothing much, just thinking about how to help Jiaolan fulfill her agreent," Li Shiyun replied with an awkward smile.
