The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 105: Future Plans_1

"I shouldn’t have ended up like this, but I didn’t expect that among the people Hu Youyu hired, there were a few young kids who didn’t know their own strength, and it seemed there were even some minors. In the midst of the fight, those kids pulled out knives. Before I could react, I was slashed a few times, but they were only minor wounds. They look worse than they are, and I’ll be fine after a few days of rest."

To prevent Han Mei and Tian Yue’e from worrying too much, Li Qing tried to downplay the situation as much as possible.

"What about the people you found?" Han Mei’s tears finally began to subside a bit, but she was obviously still a bit angry.

"Gathering evidence, rescuing me," Li Qing said with a light chuckle.

"If they hadn’t come to save me at the critical moment, I really might have been in trouble this time."

"Now that Hu Youyu is behind bars, at least for the time being, the matter is settled. The police who came to see me said that Hu Youyu will probably have to stay in there for about five years."

Tian Yue’e snorted coldly, "Five years, that’s enough to deal with that old guy. By the time he gets out, his dainty little wife is likely to be someone else’s, that conscienceless bastard, serves him right!"

Li Qing lowered his gaze and quietly touched the tip of his nose.

Yu Lan has already been with him... slept with him.

"Although there was no serious harm this time, this kind of thing is still too risky. You’re practically joking with your own life. Even if we had to go into hiding, I think that would be better than what you did," Han Mei said, holding back her tears and speaking sternly.

"Sister-in-law, it won’t happen again, I promise," Li Qing said, gently pecking on Han Mei’s lips.

Han Mei immediately blushed.

Tian Yue’e even showed her teeth and made a hissing sound.

"Come here, you get one too!" Li Qing grabbed Tian Yue’e’s arm, pulled her over, and covered her sexy, alluring red lips with his mouth.

Their lips met in a back-and-forth play, and Li Qing uncontrollably extended his tongue into her mouth.

Tian Yue’e responded even more fervently.

She leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Li Qing’s neck, her hands starting to wander over his chest.

Seated in Li Qing’s lap with her legs crossed, Han Mei’s face turned beet red with embarrassment, her pretty face seeming almost able to wring out water.

She cleared her throat and said, "That’s enough, aren’t you going to do this right in front of me?"

"I dare, will you watch?" Tian Yue’e let go of Li Qing, her laughter seductive and captivating.

"Flirty woman, you never act proper—why would anyone want to watch you do that?" Han Mei scolded with a blush on her face.

Tian Yue’e laughed heartily, "Qingzi, you have to be fair. You just kissed me, but you only pecked your sister-in-law. She might feel upset."

"Zip it," Han Mei scolded with embarrassment.

Li Qing bent down and kissed Han Mei’s lips, which were thin like willow leaves and sensually red.

Han Mei gently pushed him away, but she was also worried about touching Li Qing’s wounds and didn’t dare to apply force, allowing Li Qing to continue.

She simply glared at Tian Yue’e fiercely.

A beauty’s myriad charms, even a glare, was seductive and captivating.

Li Qing kissed her passionately, his hand gently caressing Han Mei’s arrogantly full breasts.

Han Mei grabbed his hand, broke free from his mouth, and said with a reprimand, "Stop it, Tian Yue’e, that flirty woman, is still here. What are you touching so indiscriminately for? You’re in this state and still not behaving."

Tian Yue’e muttered discontentedly, "You just watched me, so what if I take a look at you?"

"I won’t let you see it, to drive you crazy, you flirty woman," Han Mei said haughtily.

The atmosphere finally relaxed.

Li Qing composed himself and said with a bit of a sigh, "Sister-in-law, Yue’er, now we can live our lives steadily and earnestly, and think of ways to make money. With this matter at hand, I don’t think anyone in the village will foolishly come to bully us."

Han Mei and Tian Yue’e nodded together, a gleam in their eyes.

During this time, although everyone had been busy, the harvest had been very good.

This gave them limitless motivation.

It’s not the busyness people fear, but being busy to no avail.

"It’s just too bad Qingzi’s Wenguan leaves have all been picked, and it’s probably going to be a long while before the new tender leaves come in," Han Mei said with some regret. "Qingzi, why don’t you first help Yue’er with selling vegetables? Selling vegetables is a pretty good business."

"Let’s use Yue’er’s business as practice this year. If the income is optimistic, we can build a few greenhouses next year and grow vegetables together."

Tian Yue’e teased, "Listen to her, your sister-in-law sure knows how to click those abacus beads, clackety-clack."

"No need, sister-in-law," Li Qing shook his head.

Tian Yue’e hurriedly said, "I was just joking, don’t take it seriously."

"We’re family now, aren’t we? We can start by selling the vegetables from the greenhouse, then build a few more and grow off-season vegetables. We can plant and earn together, and it doesn’t matter how we split it later."

"I originally wanted to grow off-season this year, which definitely has potential for profit. But in the end, it was due to lack of expertise. What was supposed to be off-season ended up in-season, which is just as well since we have fewer out-of-town vegetables here. Otherwise, we might not even have been able to sell our vegetables this year."

Li Qing laughed, "Yue’er, I know you were joking. Vegetable farming is indeed a good path."

"But aside from growing vegetables, we can also get into the side business of collecting Wenguan leaves."

"There’s something I forgot to tell you guys, someone I know, a boss, is also buying Wenguan leaves, forty-two for one or two."

Han Mei’s eyebrows knitted slightly, "If we know this information, shouldn’t others know it too?"

"Yeah, this buying might be hard to do," Tian Yue’e chimed in.

"Not necessarily," Li Qing shook his head, "Based on my observations these past few days, not many people know about the county town buying Wenguan leaves at a high price, especially those in remote areas."

"We just happened to be the blind cat that ran into a dead rat and caught it, selling ahead of everyone else. Plus, have you seen the wild Wenguan trees in the mountains to the east of Sanhe Village? There are quite a lot of them."

"Even if we buy them for thirty per liang or two, there’s still a good profit to be made."

Han Mei’s eyes lit up, "Right, how could I forget about the mountains? There indeed are a lot of Wenguan trees there."

"But with you in your current condition, how are you going to collect? Better to rest for a while first," she said.

"No need, sister-in-law. It might be a long time before I’m nimble again, I plan to hire someone to help with the driving," Li Qing said. "The roads in the mountains are not passable by cars, but a tricycle can just about manage."

This was something Li Qing had thought through carefully in advance.

He would enlist his good neighbor Gao Li.

Although that guy was a bit of a slacker, he wasn’t bad at heart and was fairly honest.

Just running errands and driving for the day, Gao Li would probably be more than willing to do it.

With two hundred yuan as a day’s wage hanging in front of him, even if Gao Li was unwilling, Yang Xuelan would probably hold a knife to his neck and force him to volunteer to work.

Li Qing’s plan received unanimous approval from Han Mei and Tian Yue’e.

Passed with full votes.
