Chapter 151: Chapter 151: I’ll Find a Way
Having Shen Xiangdong start a business was a major affair, after all. It wasn’t enough for just Shen Xiangdong to be interested; he also needed the family’s support.
So, after coming out of the kitchen, Shen Nian explained her idea to the rest of the Shen family.
This time, with Lu Cheng by her side, Shen Nian felt much more confident.
After Shen Nian finished speaking, Shen Jian Country wasn’t as excited as Shen Xiangdong. Instead, he was a little worried.
"Xiao Nian, this... ecological farm you’re talking about, can it really succeed?"
"Dad, I have faith. Big Brother is capable, too. As long as we put our hearts into it, it’s sure to succeed!"
"But... setting aside the money to build the farm later, even just contracting the mountain forest and fields will cost a lot, right? Our family..."
Although the Shen family’s circumstances were considered decent in Shen Family Village, they were really just getting by. According to Shen Nian’s plan, contracting an entire mountain and a large swath of fields was not something that could be done with a small amount of money!
"Dad, don’t worry about all that. I’ll pay for contracting the forest and fields!"
Shen Nian didn’t actually have much money on hand, but she had her ace in the hole: her space! It now contained quite a few fruit trees, and she had also planted many Spiritual Medicine seeds. Once these were harvested and sold, they would bring in a huge sum of money!
If that still wasn’t enough, as a last resort, she could dig up a few stalks of ginseng and Lingzhi from the space to sell.
Even if the fruits and medicinal herbs didn’t work out, ginseng and Lingzhi were rare treasures. She wouldn’t have to worry about getting a good price for them.
However, just as Shen Nian was happily planning this all out in her head, she heard Shen Jian Country’s firm refusal.
"No! How could we take your money! Besides, where would you get that much money?"
Leaving aside whether Shen Nian even had that kind of money, she was a married daughter. If they took money from her, what would people say!
Even if Shen Nian weren’t married, they wouldn’t stoop to using their daughter’s money!
"I..."
Shen Nian was at a loss for words. It had been an oversight on her part. If she really did produce that much money, her parents would surely question its source.
"Dad, Big Brother, let me figure out a way to get the money for contracting the land!"
Before Shen Nian could even think of an explanation, Lu Cheng, who was beside her, spoke up.
"Lu Cheng..."
"Lu Cheng, this... how could we let you be the one to figure it out?"
Shen Jian Country had just been worried that Shen Nian’s offer to pay would displease Lu Cheng. After all, Shen Nian had married into the Lu Family, so her money was considered the Lu Family’s property.
Putting aside whether she had the money or not, the act of offering to fund her maiden family without a second thought would surely displease her in-laws!
But who would have known? Not only was Lu Cheng not displeased, he even said he would be the one to handle the money!
Shen Jian Country didn’t doubt Lu Cheng’s ability to do so, but the favor was simply too great!
"Dad, I’m Xiao Nian’s husband, so I’m practically a son to the Shen family. It’s only right that I do my part when it comes to family matters."
"But..."
’That may be true,’ he thought, ’but this "part" he was offering to do was far too big!’
"If Dad feels uncomfortable about it, then how about this: consider the money an investment from me and Xiao Nian into Big Brother’s farm."
In truth, Lu Cheng wasn’t being entirely selfless. Only when the Shen Family was doing well could Shen Nian truly be at ease.
Besides, having a strong maiden family would also be a greater source of security for Shen Nian.
After all, Lu Cheng had not forgotten his promise.
