Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 142: Being a person with your tail between your legs
Father Xiao saw that his mother had taken the initiative to take on the work, and he felt proud, "Wan'er, what can father do?"

"Father, as a member of the family you also have your mission, but as our father, you can also enjoy your life without doing anything."

"No, Wan'er, you have all worked so hard, and I, your father, also want to do something within my ability for the family, but I don't know if it's possible."

"Yes, of course. Father has done a lot of things, but..." Wen Qingwan frowned slightly, thinking about what to say.

She thought that Xiao's father might not want to work hard, otherwise he would not have started to give up when he was young and let his children follow him.

However, Father Xiao misunderstood that his eldest daughter-in-law thought he was incompetent, and he interrupted Wen Qingwan's words in a heroic manner.

"Wan'er, you must believe in your father's ability. He was once a talented man, but for various reasons he was unable to display his talents."

"Father, your daughter-in-law believes that you are really capable. My seventh brother has expanded more than 30 milk tea shops this month, and recently he wants to do catering.

Every day he goes to Taohua Village on the outskirts of the city to buy crayfish and some fresh mountain products.

If you are really interested, you can help him manage the milk tea shop, or you can take charge of purchasing crayfish.”

"Father, let's go to Taohua Village to buy crayfish!" Father Xiao imagined that the villagers would see him as if they saw the God of Wealth.

He felt relaxed all over before he even started. It was true what the book said: birds of a feather flock together.

Since his sons cheered up, he found that his mood also became brighter.

He no longer cares so much about gains and losses. In the past, he felt that he would be at a disadvantage if he gave a little more.

He really tried hard when he was a child, but in the end, not only did he not get his father's recognition, he was also often criticized for not being as good as other children.

The results of his hard work were not recognized, and he always felt pain in his heart. He wanted to ask his father, why was he inferior to others?

The eldest son of the Fan family inherited the title of Marquis of Zhenxi, but he had never been to the battlefield and was not good at either literature or martial arts.

At least he is good at studying, but he has no reference standard for what good children in other families look like.

So he always silently despised his father in his heart. Even if I am ambitious, I am still much better than you who just drink all day and live a drunken life.

As he complained and compared himself with others, he became the person he hated the most, always wanting to get rich overnight without any effort.

When he really doesn't give anything and still has beautiful women throwing themselves at him, he becomes a complete gigolo.

The men in the capital city despised and envied the emperor at the same time. Don't think he didn't know that the emperor not only despised him but also secretly envied him.

Otherwise, why would the emperor lead all his civil and military officials to collectively exclude him!
If he had the same courage as his eldest son and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy at the age of twelve, would anyone in the court dare to despise him?
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the determination, let alone the courage, so he doesn't dare to blame others for looking down on him.

It's easy to be a lowly person all the time. After all, life is full of joys and sorrows.

There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. Any choice, any life, is not perfect.

People will regret the choices they have made, and will always yearn for what they gave up in the beginning, so he wants to try again to prove that he can do it again!

"Father, you can pick two capable followers to follow you. If you don't want to do it one day, you can let them do it."

Wen Qingwan said in a clear voice. She looked at Father Xiao's smug expression and felt amused. This father-in-law had been oblivious to family affairs since he was young, and was only interested in romance. Now he was still a suave and romantic master.

To buy crayfish, he has to go out of town and back to the countryside every day. The road there is bumpy, and I don’t know how long he can last.

"Don't worry, dad will do his best and will never hold you back." Father Xiao said confidently.

"Dad, are you really planning to buy crayfish every day?" Xiao Lichun asked excitedly.

"Well, I will go today. Do you want to ride in my carriage and go to the farm together?"

"Hehe, how did Daddy know that I thought this way?" Xiao Lichun asked, covering his face with his hands and revealing his eyes.

"Well, does father need to tell me this? Your face is full of signs that I want to ride in your carriage. I can see it." Xiao Lidong stuck out his tongue and pointed it out.

“Father, if you like it, do your best. If you don’t like it, your sons will not blame you.”

Xiao Lichuan's words brought an inexplicable warmth to Xiao's father's heart. He felt his son's support and encouragement.

"Chuan'er, thank you." Father Xiao said softly, with a determined light in his eyes, "Daddy will definitely do it well."

Xiao Lichuan and Xiao Litao gently held their father's left and right hands respectively, supporting him silently.

There hadn't been much talk between father and son before, but now they had a deep tacit understanding.

Seeing her son so excited, Mrs. Xiao's reluctance to trim the flowers and plants became sincere.

Everyone is busy with their own tasks, and although it may seem that nothing has changed, in fact, great changes have taken place in their hearts.

Their sister-in-law (the mistress of the house) has rolled up her sleeves and worked hard to earn money, so how can they not work harder?
Wen Qingwan, Jinlan and Jinque took a carriage. Xiao Lichuan also got on the carriage with two followers and went straight to the Xiao family's largest Yunjin garment store.

Seeing a long line in front of the store from a distance, Xiao Lichuan could only go in through the back door with his sister-in-law.

Going directly into the second floor of the store, you will see a dazzling array of brocades and the latest styles of brocade, all of which are filled with noble ladies and rich girls standing in front of them.

Wen Qingwan was stunned by the crowded scene in the store on the first floor, and her eyes were shining with joy and surprise.

"Fourth brother, so many people in Shangjing City buy Yunjin, why don't you open a few more branches?"

Jinlan and Jinque were also shocked by the atmosphere here and couldn't help but exclaim, "Tsk tsk, the fourth young master makes thousands of dollars a day from just one store. If he opens more, will he still be able to make money?"

Xiao Lichuan looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of confidence, "Sister-in-law, after I attend the East Palace Flower Viewing Banquet, I plan to open another branch."

"Fourth brother, this is a good idea. Sister-in-law really didn't know there were so many people in the store. If she had known earlier... would Yunjin be unable to make it?"

"My sister-in-law saw it and realized that we can't even supply the Yunjin in one store, so how can we dare to open a branch?
Recently, the workshop has doubled in size, so my fourth brother is thinking about opening a branch. Yunjin is not as easy to make as my seventh brother’s milk tea.”

Xiao Lichuan is eighteen years old this year. He has a handsome appearance and an elegant appearance. Although he is young, he has a good business mind.

"What are you stealing? This is what I saw first." A sharp shout suddenly came from downstairs, startling everyone.
