Da Niu’s mood was suddenly indescribable.

She felt extremely uncomfortable.

At the same time, panic was also rising within her; she knew her grandmother was talking about arranging her marriage.

For someone like her grandmother, arranging a marriage probably meant selling her off.

She was the eldest in the family, and there were too many girls in her generation, which decreased their value.

None of them received the treatment her younger paternal aunt did.

No one took them seriously.

Especially since her grandmother favored boys over girls, the sisters had a hard time at home.

Da Niu couldn’t even bring herself to say "thank you." She glanced at Qiao Qingyu, awkwardly said, "My affairs are none of your business,"

and then turned and ran away.

Qiao Qingyu pursed her lips, dusted off her hands, and thought, well, she had said what needed to be said; there was no guilt on her part now.

...

Wu Xiucai, all the way in Yun City, had also heard about the recent events at Qiao Family Team, especially those involving Qiao Zhihai.

He had someone investigate whether Qiao Zhihai’s capture was the result of falling into a trap someone had set up.

It really was difficult to guard against.

To say that Wu Xiujie had no hand in it, he truly couldn’t believe that.

But he had to admit that Wu Xiujie was somewhat capable. His team of lawyers was working for him; after all, he held dual citizenship.

Moreover, Wu Xiucai had no idea what Wu Xiujie had traded to delay the punishment that hadn’t come yet.

Wu Xiucai took a flight to visit Wu Xiujie in his place of detention.

He had intended to take his daughter with him to annoy Wu Xiujie, but upon reflection, considering Wu Xiujie’s venomous tongue and the hardship his daughter already endured, marrying into such a worthless family that she couldn’t get rid of, she would end up feeling embarrassed.

Before he left, he made a specific call to Qiao Qingyu and then contacted Wu Hong.

Wu Hong happily agreed to build a cement road for Qiao Family Team for free.

He also planned to build a bridge over the river.

However, Wu Xiucai didn’t let him proceed with the bridge.

He had his own plans for that.

When he saw Wu Xiujie, he smiled and said, "Son of a bitch, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree; both of your sons turned out quite well."

Wu Xiujie hadn’t expected Wu Xiucai to visit again. He sat inside the reception room, lazily reclining in his chair, his glance dark and heavy on Wu Xiucai.

"The spawn of a whore, you deserve to die childless with no son to tend to your old age."

Wu Xiucai wasn’t angry in the slightest, still smiling at Wu Xiujie, "Son of a bitch, I should thank you for raising two good sons. They are both very capable now. Not to mention Tai, even Ah Hong, my little brother-in-law said he wanted to do something and he agreed cheerfully."

Wu Xiujie’s expression finally darkened.

Wu Peng, who was arrested with him, was there because Wu Xiucai disliked him. If Wu Xiucai wanted to acknowledge him, he would definitely turn around and fuss over Wu Xiucai eagerly.

Truth be told, none of these sons really took him seriously.

Through gritted teeth, he said, "If you’re so capable, why don’t you adopt them?"

"Keep dreaming," "I have a daughter, so why would I adopt your son? But even if I don’t adopt, they are still my favorite nephews, and I won’t mistreat them."

Wu Xiujie’s face turned grim, "Those idiots have always taken you as a good person because of the little bitch you raised. In the end, you’re even more sinister than me."

"You son of a bitch, I will see what kind of end you’ll meet!"

Later, Wu Xiucai stood up and, in front of Wu Xiujie, unexpectedly performed a vigorous set of boxing maneuvers.

"You’ve been hoping for my quick demise, haven’t you? Look at my physique now." Wu Xiucai then pointed to his hair, "See, it’s not dyed. My hair turned black on its own."

Then he stared at Wu Xiujie’s somewhat graying temples, "You son of a bitch, evil people will always get their just desserts."

After that, he walked away, paying no mind to Wu Xiujie inside, jumping with rage and cursing obscenities.

The conversation between the two men was reported to their superiors by the guards inside and out, without omission.

The superiors, knowing their grievances, simply smiled and said nothing.

...

Upon returning, Wu Xiucai immediately called Qiao Qingyu and told her to leave the road construction in the village to Wu Hong, and that he would send someone to North City in a couple of days.

Qiao Qingyu was thrilled, for she too had just received a call from Qin Duo; the Qiao Family Team could apply for seed production base subsidies.

However, Qin Duo also mentioned to her that several countries had already sent delegates to talk about the corn seeds.

Then someone from the M country arrived, claiming they had a new type of corn seed with very high yield and strong disease resistance, and even a variety of enhanced strains, like corn with several colors per ear, which could then be eaten as fruit.

Qiao Qingyu also faintly understood that this might involve genetic manipulation, and she knew that decades later in the real world, the debate over genetically modified versus non-modified crops would be diverse, but the country had tight control over the issue.

Still, she couldn’t help but ask, "Can the corn they provide be used for seed production?"

Qin Duo felt a sinking in her chest.

Having worked in the Agricultural Department for two years, though not involved in core matters, she knew a lot due to her family connections.

Sometimes her perception was exceedingly acute, and she immediately grasped the implications of the question, and what it meant for her personally.

Between the two countries, negotiations on this matter had only just begun and had not yet touched on this aspect, but with so many skilled people involved, questions about the seeds would likely be raised soon.

Qin Duo hurriedly said to Qiao Qingyu, "Qingyu, once you have gathered all the information I’ve told you about, come find me in Beijing. I have to go, so let’s talk when we meet."

Her tone was somewhat different from before.

Qiao Qingyu gave it a slight thought and understood the situation.

Qin Duo hurriedly hung up the phone then rushed to her supervisor’s office.

Qiao Qingyu then sought her uncle and asked him to report to Vice Director Sun about Wu Hong repairing the road for the Qiao Family Team and mentioned it could be leaked.

Qiao Zhiyuan left with great excitement.

This was great news, and he always felt his niece was a benefactor, bringing significant change to the Qiao Family Team with each visit.

This time was no different, and perhaps even more substantial than before.

He rushed off to find Vice Director Sun.

Vice Director Sun was naturally even happier, and the news quickly spread; everyone in the Qiao Family Team knew Wu Hong would repair the village road free of charge.

Goodness gracious, a concrete road! That’s concrete ground! No mud clinging to your feet on a rainy day, walking barefoot, or riding in a horse-drawn or ox-cart would no longer be bumpy on that concrete road.

Even in the county, there were only a few such roads, while the surrounding streets were still Yellow Sand Road.

The villagers instantly bubbled with excitement, and their work was now done with even more vigor.
