Chapter 69 Back (Second Update)

  Mao Feng naturally was busy and hastily agreed, instructing his subordinates to escort them away. After they left, Mao Feng held Ding Xiao Ya's small hand and said: "Thank you, Xiao Ya, I really don't know what to say."

  Ding Xiaoya let out a soft sigh, and said in a low voice: "I am a woman of the Mao family, not a lady of the Ding family. I am considering how to expand the influence of the Mao family! In the future, I will be a great matriarch, and I should have the capacity and vision of a great matriarch! It's impossible for you to worry about household matters in the future, you are someone who handles big things!"

  Mao Feng was really moved, he had only seen it on TV before, and he always thought it was just nonsense, but when it really appeared in front of him, the one thing he wanted to do was to tightly hug Ding Xiaoya.

  Mao Feng thought and did, in Ding Xiaoya's exclamation, Mao Feng picked up Ding Xiaoya and spun around the yard, Mao Feng excitedly said: "You're so good, you're so good, I'm too happy! Too happy!"

  Mao Fengzhi spoke very loudly, his voice carrying far away. Ding Xiaya was originally very surprised, but when she heard Mao Fengzhi's words and saw the gratitude in his eyes that he couldn't hide towards her, as well as his own joy, Ding Xiaya also slowly revealed a smile. The laughter of Mao Fengzhi and Ding Xiaya echoed all the way to the deepest part of the courtyard.

  After the three women returned to their residence, they all gathered together. Lu Qingfang said with some distress: "I didn't expect that Ding Xiaoya was really formidable and didn't give us a reason to turn against her!"

  Wu Xiaohai sighed and said: "I didn't expect her to be so generous, I couldn't have done it if I were in her shoes!"

  Pan Ruoxia said softly: "She is very concerned about Mao Feng! Perhaps this is love!"

  Lu Qingfang looked at Pan Ruoxia in surprise and said, "Ruoxia, you also understand this? It's really strange! I thought you were always cold-blooded and didn't know what love was."

  Pan Ruoxia glanced at him and said lightly: "Do I need to tell you? Besides, you already understand. What a joke!"

  Lu Qingfang immediately jumped up like a stepped-on tail and said: "What did you say? You're an ice face, not even a bit of femininity! How dare you talk about me?! No matter how I am, I'm more feminine than you!"

  Pan Ruoxia looked at Lu Qingfang up and down, very seriously, before shaking her head and saying: "You have a feminine charm? I think you're just a tomboy!!! How dare you say you have a feminine charm? It's really absurd!"

  "You! I'll beat you to death!" Lu Qingfang immediately bared her teeth and was about to pounce on Pan Ruoxia. At this time, Wu Xiaohua immediately stood up and blocked Lu Qingfang, saying: "What are you doing? Are you losing face or not? This isn't at home! Outside, we're all representing our respective families' faces. You don't care about face, but I do!"

  Lu Qingfang stopped after hearing that, but she said angrily: "Hmph, once I enter the door, I decide that I must become the third one, you will absolutely become the fourth one!"

  Pan Ruoxia disdainfully said: "Not even married yet and already thinking about these things, truly don't know if you want to lose face or not?"

  Wu Xiaohuo immediately shouted: "Shut up!"

  The two women remained silent, but they stared at each other intensely. Wu Xiaohua continued, "Why not send a message to your family and let them send someone over? Haven't you thought about the future? Do you still have the heart to quarrel here?"

  This sentence attracted the attention of the two women, who were both stunned, but then remembered their own future. Wu Xiaohua continued: "Haven't you ever thought about how to spend your days in the future? You must think clearly that after we enter that man's door, we will be part of his family, and from now on, we will share honor and shame together! Do you both know what the situation is like at home? If we are not careful, it will be a place where death is inevitable!"

  Lu Qingfang and Pan Ruoxia both fell silent after hearing this, they all wanted to get it, Wu Xiaohua's words reminded them, they had all heard about the domestic situation, they all thought that Wu Xiaohua was not exaggerating!

  Dead silence, a silence as if death itself had descended. After a long while, Lu Qingfang suddenly jumped up and waved her hands excitedly, saying: "Since that's the case, then let's go all out! Bring out all our abilities, make our own man stand out! If he doesn't have the ability, I'll use money to create it for him! I don't believe it!"

  Looking at Lu Qingfang's solemn oath, neither Wu Xiaohua nor Pan Ruoxia laughed. They both nodded in agreement, for them, their future was already set in stone - they would marry Mao Feng and it was a must. So what they had to do in the future was just like what Lu Qingfang said, to use all their strength to push their own man onto the stage! Not seeking to stand at the highest peak, but also having to become a powerful figure, able to protect their family business!

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Lu Fangping, the head of the Lu family, put down the telegram and said to the elderly people present: "Everyone, Qingfang has sent a telegram, that person has agreed! Now we should proceed with the next step!"

  "A septuagenarian said, 'Master of the house, I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time. This old body doesn't want to travel much anymore. Returning home is what I've been dreaming of; let me go this time!'"

  Lu Fangping didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, saying: "Alright then, I'll trouble you, Uncle! If there's anything that comes up, please don't hesitate to call!"

  "Hmm, I know! Then I'll go back and prepare!"

  The dowry and everything else have already been prepared, Lu Fangping had long expected that Mao Feng would definitely agree. The temptation of a woman's wealth is so great that only a fool would refuse!

  Lu Fangping said to the other two elders after the old man left: "You see, will Maofeng make a name for himself in the future?"

  An elderly tribesman smiled and said, "Head of the household, wasn't a decision already made earlier? Since it's been decided, then let's resolutely see it through! It's up to people to make things happen! Dilly-dallying will only lead to nothing being accomplished!"

  Another elder of the tribe spoke up, "Now that Mao Feng is here, he's the best target. If we were to switch to someone else, it wouldn't be suitable! His foundation is shallow, making him the perfect entry point! We can't let this opportunity slip away! All these years abroad, we've suffered enough of those foreigners' condescending gazes! No matter what, we must prepare a way out for ourselves!"

  Lu Qingfang nodded heavily and said: "Alright, then it's settled! I'll go meet with the Wu and Pan families right away! Let's discuss this thoroughly!"

  Three household heads met in Singapore, all of whom were stranded in Singapore because their family focuses were in the United States and Nanyang was just a base.

  Wu Jia's master Wu Zhiwei, Pan Jia's master Pan Jiahua, and Lu Jia's Lu Fangping met at the teahouse. The teahouse was one of Pan Jia's properties, and in a private room, the three began their detailed discussion.

  "This time, I plan to send twenty people over and also set up a few factories in Guangdong!" - Pan Jiahua said.

  Wu Zhiwei said in a low voice: "I've arranged for a boat of workers, all skilled workers from the steel mill! I heard that someone wants to build a factory, so they must need skilled workers!"

  Lu Qingfang, the head of the Lu family, said: "I'll provide a division's worth of weapons and equipment, all American-made! And three bases' worth of ammunition supplies!"

  After the three of them finished speaking, Wu Zhiwei said to Pan Jiahua: "How can you be so petty? Probably opening a factory isn't an ordinary factory, right?"

  Pan Jiahua slowly took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I plan to open a Western medicine factory, after all, wars need medicine, don't they?"

  "Good fellow, this is no small matter! This Western medicine factory isn't something that can be easily established! Will the Americans agree?" Wu Zhiwei exclaimed.

  Pan Jiahua was quite calm and said: "I reckon you've opened the back door again! And slipped some money past!"

  Lu Qingfang smiled and said, "Now these American devils are not greedy for money, take advantage of it now, why not do something more intense? Since we want to support that son-in-law, the maternal family can't be stingy, right? We have to let him know the sincerity of the maternal family. With sincerity, life will be better! He's good and we're all good!"

  Pan Jiawei said, "Well, that's true. These American devils only care about money. I've had enough of them over the years! Hmph! If our company didn't still provide a lot of jobs, who knows what kind of tricks they'd play on us!"

  "Wu Zhiwei waved his hand and said, 'Let's not talk about these things, let's continue from where we left off! Since everyone has decided on the dowry, we also need to arrange for someone to take it over. We can't just do all this work for nothing, that would be a big joke! If we make the wedding clothes and no one takes them, wouldn't that be a waste?'"

  "That's natural, and this naturalness needs to be maintained! I have several nephews who graduated from military academies and universities, they can totally go back and help!"

  "Me too!"

  After finishing, the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile! The laughter was filled with pride, and also contained a hint of anticipation. For them, wasn't this just a gamble?
