Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 749
Chapter 749: Chapter 750: Only Needs One Reason_1 Chapter 749: Chapter 750: Only Needs One Reason_1 Lu Hongxuan nodded, turning towards Meng Yunhan, “You are pretty close with Robert.” It was a statement, not a query.
Abroad, he had met Robert several times. Any time Robert spoke about Kyoto, his heart flew right there… to the girl he liked so much.
“We’re friends,” replied Meng Yunhan, without overthinking.
Lu Hongxuan looked at Meng Yunhan, it seemed she did not know Robert had feelings for her.
Lu Hongxuan was a man. He had a woman he cherished, and he knew the glow you would express when speaking about someone you liked.
“I won’t bother you guys anymore.” Yunhan had spotted Menmen heading their way and she left right away.
Lu Hongxuan did not bother about Meng Yunhan, his gaze was fixed on Zhang Menmen.
Looking at the girl he fancied slowly walking towards him, Lu Hongxuan’s eyes sparkled.
“Menmen…..” He was overwhelmed with excitement as he saw Zhang Menmen.
He genuinely thought Menmen had become so much more beautiful.
An old saying goes, ‘Every man thinks his own goose is a swan.’ It certainly was true.
Abroad, there wasn’t a type of beauty Lu Hongxuan had not laid eyes on, including Asian girls. But he didn’t fancy any of them, he only had eyes for Zhang Menmen.
Falling in love was simply just that, no reasons needed.
They say to fall in love you need just one reason.
This was love.
“Where are we going?” The first thing Zhang Menmen said when she saw Lu Hongxuan.
Where to go?
“How about a movie?” Lu Hongxuan wasn’t sure where to go at that time either.
If they were abroad, he would have taken her for a western dinner, followed by cake. But now in China, there was none of that, the best he could do was take her to a movie.
A movie?
Zhang Menmen had been there before, just never with a boy.
“Sure!”
Menmen agreed with a hearty laugh.
Leaving school, they head towards the cinema.
Qingzhao Village.
“Mom, Dad, we’ve rented ten acres. We’ve already sent a telegram to sister-in-law to inform her about the grain seeds,” said Yun Men, extremely excited. These past few days the couple was busy working in the fields. It was getting dark, and they had come back home to update their parents.
“You’ve rented too much! You two alone won’t be able to manage,” Father Yun cautioned, knitting his brows, a worried look on his face. They were too ambitious and had bitten off more than they could chew.
They could have rented a bit less and kept the landlord happy. That way the yield would have been good and they would have had an easier time.
Yun Men turned to Zhang Jiang and said, “Mom, Dad, we wanted to lease more. If we work hard for a year, we can overcome this famine. Little Zhuzi is growing up and needs to go to school, Little Huzi is already three years old.”
Mother Yun tried to reason, “But that’s ten acres, not three! Forget about the seeds, have you considered the fertiliser? You’ll have to borrow again!”
She knew their family situation. Where would they borrow from?
Yun Men contemplated for a while, then said, “Sister-in-law will send us the grain seeds. The cost of the seeds will be repaid once we sell the grains. As for the fertiliser, we have been using some, but we may need to buy some more. We’ll have to borrow some money for this purchase!”
She knew the upcoming year might be tough, but their home situation was dire.
Zhang Jiang understood that ten acres might be a lot to handle but he insisted on renting that much.
