Chapter 33 -33: Asking the Tycoon Out for a Meal_1
After getting the new tricycle, Mrs. Xia rode the new vehicle carrying Xia Ningxing.
The eldest brother rode Lu’s tricycle, taking the fourth and fifth brothers with him.
As for the second and third brothers, they were on bicycles, having ridden one to do business that morning; there was no helping it, the manpower tricycle simply couldn’t carry so many people.
In those days, whether in the city or countryside, a tricycle was an enviable thing to have.
When they were nearly back to their village, the people who had been idly chatting by the roadside nearly had their eyes pop out at the sight of the Xia family’s shiny and flashy brand-new tricycle.
Whose new tricycle is this!
Have they struck it rich or what!
“Who’s riding the bike?”
“It seems to be the wife of Peach Blossom Village’s Jianren Xia.”
“Wow, that’s something else! The other day, I passed by the place selling those tricycles, and I saw one going for over six hundred yuan. Weren’t they nearly too poor to eat, and didn’t the wife just get laid off? Where’d they get the money to buy this?”
“How could they be out of money? They’re running some perfume business now, making a hundred yuan a day!”
“Jianren Xia is truly impressive, I heard he started doing business away from home years ago.”
“What does Jianren have to do with it? The perfume business was started by his wife on her own.”
“A woman can be that formidable?”
The villagers gossiped with a mix of admiration and envy.
Among them was Pangya’s mother, almost green with envy.
She had thought that by inciting the factory manager to lay off Lin Lan (Mrs. Xia) from the textile plant, her life would become unbearably hard.
But now, who knows how fat her wallet was, and she had ended up making her more successful instead.
It completely backfired!
Unsatisfied!
So very unsatisfied!
And oh so envious!
If Lin Lan could do it, she, Xu Caishua, could do it too!
Jealousy flashed in Pangya’s mother’s eyes.
Mrs. Xia just happened to glance over and caught the envious look in Pangya’s mother’s eyes, prompting her to let out a scornful chuckle.
So what if she had urged the manager to fire her?
She was living just fine right now!
She was making even more money than before! She still had ways to make money!
Of course, all thanks to her dear daughter!
After returning home, Xia Ningxing pushed the trike belonging to Lu’s family and called out to Mrs. Xia, who was cooking in the kitchen, “Mom, I’m going to return the tricycle to Lu’s family.”
“Go ahead, just be careful and don’t fall,” Mrs. Xia said, coming out of the kitchen with vegetables to wash, as she rubbed her daughter’s little head and instructed.
Lu Tingli was seated in the living room writing, when suddenly, he heard a noise outside. He stood up from the sofa, took the thermos cup filled with goji berries from the table, and walked outside while sipping from it.
“Lu, I’ve returned the tricycle to your family,” Xia Ningxing, who had already placed the tricycle in their shed by now, cheerfully looked back at him as he looked her way.

“Mm.”
Lu Tingli put down his cup, his voice as indifferent as the goji berry tea in his hands.
Standing under the corridor, the remnants of the sunset bathed his handsome face in a warm glow.
The juvenile features seemingly filtered through softness, were noble and detached, intimidating to behold.
One could imagine how striking he would be when grown up.
Xia Ningxing bounded over like a rabbit, her forehead glistening with a few beads of sweat, and in her childlike voice said, “Lu, thank you for lending us the tricycle. We agreed to take you out for a meal once we made some money. Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s go eat!”
“Not necessary.”
Lu Tingli rejected her outright.
“Why?” Xia Ningxing’s rosy lips pouted, her eyes brimming with disappointment.
