Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 703 - 702: The Proprietress Is Very Satisfied

In the eyes of Old Master Shen, no matter how big or prosperous other places are, they’re not home. Only Lishui Village is truly home.

He frowned and said, "You just got back, why aren’t you resting at home? What are you doing running up the mountain?"

Shen Shan nodded in agreement, "Exactly, kid, why aren’t you resting at home first?"

"I’ve already rested," Shen Qinglan said with a smile, "I just wanted to come and see how the construction is going."

Shen Qingning leaned on his hoe and asked with a smile, "So, what do you think?"

"I trust anything you do, Second Brother," Shen Qinglan said with a smile, "It’s much better than I imagined."

Shen Qingning chuckled lightly, "I had to do a good job. I promised you. Otherwise, if the big boss comes back and isn’t satisfied, wouldn’t I be embarrassed?"

Shen Qinglan crossed her hands behind her back, acting like a big boss, and said, "Not bad at all, the boss is very satisfied!"

Shen Shan and Old Master Shen couldn’t help but laugh when they saw this.

Shen Qingning continued to smile, "The boss can check other places to see if there’s anything amiss."

People nearby heard the laughter and looked over.

Seeing this, Shen Qinglan quickly said, "You all continue working, I’ll go take a look over there."

The others nodded, "Go ahead."

Just as Shen Qinglan turned around to continue looking elsewhere, she saw Li Wei, wearing a straw hat and dressed in plain clothes, approaching from the side.

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Li Wei smiled and said, "I just heard Father yelling for Qinglan, thought I misheard, but it’s really you."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows teasingly, "Our distinguished scholar, how come you’re doing farm work too?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Don’t make fun of your brother-in-law," Shen Shan laughed, "besides, we get some extra help."

Li Wei smiled and looked at Shen Qinglan, "Have you seen your sister?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "Not yet. I just got back. After saying a few words to Sister-in-law and Mother, I came up the mountain."

Li Wei nodded slightly, "Then I’ll get back to work."

"I have something to ask Brother-in-law," Shen Qinglan said, taking a few steps forward. Li Wei looked at her suspiciously, "I wonder what Qinglan wants to ask?"

Shen Qinglan’s smile faded, and she looked at him seriously and asked, "You really don’t plan to continue taking the provincial exams, Brother-in-law?"

Li Wei was stunned, "Did Mother tell you that?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No, I heard it from someone."

Li Wei sighed softly, "I don’t want to take the exams anymore. Now, I just want to stay by your sister’s side."

Having missed his son’s birth, he had always felt regret about it.

This time, after seeing Shen Qingju’s tear-streaked face and his bewildered-looking son, he didn’t want to leave again.

Fame and wealth are not as important as accompanying family.

"Then... do you have any plans to become an official?" Shen Qinglan asked, "Being a minor official in Jinxi Town should be possible, right?"

Li Wei smiled, "No need for you to worry about that, County Magistrate Pei is likely already working on it."

"Looks like my concern was unnecessary," Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "Since Brother-in-law has plans of his own, I won’t meddle further."

Li Wei nodded, "Then I’ll get back to work. Do whatever you like."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Go ahead."

After wandering around nearby for a while, Shen Qinglan returned to her original spot, intending to help, but Shen Qingning refused her.

Shen Qingning pretended to reject her, "We have enough people here. Don’t come and make a mess."

The villagers nearby also joked, "Miss Third, you’d better not work, we’re hoping to earn a little before the snow comes."

"Exactly!" Shen Qingning echoed, "Are you trying to take everyone’s jobs?"

Shen Qinglan was helpless and had to give up the idea, leisurely heading down the mountain.
